Mr.. O'Fsrrsll Is glib-tounged stump
speaker, with certain amount OF native
wit which is more entertaining than his
argument. After handling Mr.. Bayard
with poor wis and poorer argument, he
drifted out to sea on the Mckinley bill.
He upheld the tin-tax as protective
measure for the benefit of the American
worklngman; defended the tax on cotton

audience and said 1t cost 50 30 in this
country. bus 81 so in England; that tho

cents. He said 1t w&s better for the
American workingmRn TO pay 81 more
for the hat in this country than 10

Cries for "Williei" brought the ever
ready Jonathan to the front: He had
brought a sixty minute speech up from

The Democrats have in the lower part
Of the state made overtures to raise a
church debt by promising to psy $500 for
