that hour President @. ]. Campbell called
the members to order, and then, folio wing

general terms to the purpose Of the meet
Ing, he introduced the tlrst speaker, Senator
Gray. The senator's appearance was
greeted with instantaneous applause aud
cheers. After congrAtulating his audience
on the glorious Democratic victories OF
Tuesday last, Senator Gray proceeded to
touch upon what be conceived 10 be the
Significance OF these victories. TEo.e

weightier causes than the transient ones by

Senator Gray reverted to comparison

and Of the present. He made a glowing

hAps, the most brilliant mind OF contem-

Democrats, tondly venture the contrast

1892 there Will be but one name on Demo,
cratic lips unanimously aeciaimine tina: OF
Grover Cleveland. At each mention o, the
ex Presidents name ths audience broke
out In deatening appliance. The speak or

sufficiently appreciate the comprehensive
ness aud real value Of Tuesdays victories
