legal business, and that in this he was NOT
so unsuccessful.

slres and intentions OF the wing of the
party to which they belong-the great
Southern free trade wing. The real intent
and object OF the meeting was to set going
the boom for Cleveland and Campbell in
1892.
The three gentlemen named are all
warmly in favor of that ticket, which they
fondly believe to be winning one. Be-

the tariff question which he advanced in
his famous message. 1t wss received with
tumultuous enthusiasm. Another letter
was read from Governor James Campbell,
OF Ohio, which was warmly received.
Other letters were read, mostly from
Maryland politicians. That the meeting
accomplished the purpose it was gotten up
for is evident from the satisfied and com.
placent looks to-day of the three gentle
men named. They have started the Cleve-
land and Campbell boom going, and, much
to their own satisfaction, started it in a
Southern State, and they did so by au-
thority."
