peared on the front Of the platform . great
hush fell upon the multitude. The ball wss -
silent il il had been empty. Every head IVES
uncovered and most Of them reverently bowed.

sumed his sway and secured attention and de-
livered his speech, full Of enthusiasm, replets
with good feeling, and studded with happy
compliments to the gentlemen who composed
the ticket four years ago.

many OF the former took on their coats and sat
quite contentedly in their shirt sleeves.
Nearly all the time was spent in listening 10
seconding speeches. Al about 1890 o'clock the

volted against further speaking and demanded
vote; but inasmuch as this summary process
would have been unjust to some Of the candi-
