The Jackson street rink was crowded
to Overfiowing last evening with a large
and intelligent audience to hear an adj
dress by Hon. Albert Scheffer, who had
announced his intention to define his
position in regard to the personal at
tacks made upon him by the Pioneer
Press. Mr.. Scheffer was also expected
to have something to say relating
to the Republican candidate for
gubern; -donal honors and the man
ner in which he secured that nomi-
nation. j. II. Mailer presided.
Mr.. Scheffer received hearty welcome
on entering the room, which was re-
