In introducing the next speakey Frank

now he would pitch into the Ring.

Cole began, "a statement signed ny THAI

tells us that with d tax levy Of ST., $50, 900,
and the moneys derived from the excise,
and the operations OF the Martin act, his

stand taken BIZ DR.. Edge and DIR. Gordon
which secured the indictment OF those
election officers. Ii there is anything we

did that Democratic Judge do his duty.
''The Prosecutor asked to have q struck

Mr.. Elijah Cowles said that the time

Mr.. Gilbert Collins next spoke, and was
received with cheers and applause. He
spoke to the audience as Republicans,
then as Democrats. and finally as citi-
zens. He made the point that good men
should be elected as C0roners, as they
are practically vice sheriffs. He had just
made a good point and the audience wasap-
plauding him vigorously when KailikrAtes
Kapsicum Pangb0rn strItted down the
aisle. The eminent corn curist took the
