short but tcrse speech, sparkling
with democratic enthusiasm and eu-
looies. and dcnmciationS OF repub'
lican methods and policy. Judge
Cate arose amidst the applause OF
the democrats present, and complain
ed of being unwcIl, but from the
first he convinced his hearers that
his soul was IN the work before him,
Notwithstanding an impaired phys
ical candtion. For more than an
hour did the Judge hold his auditors
spcll-hound with a recapitulatiOn of
the frauds and lnjuStIc OF the pres
cnt administration, the elucldation
of true democratic doctrine, and
finally told the people he would ac>
cept the democratic nomination and
use his best and most earnest efforts
to lead the democracy of the first
congressional district on to more
decisive victory than that Of two
years ago which was set aside by a
republican house and y usurper put
IN the seat to which the democracy
saw fit to elect him.
