record; he has lived an exemplary Lille
Tor number Of years, and he claima to
have Just as much right to be an evan
Yclist az any OF his predecessors. The
public are criticisines the course pursued
by the lady who had the hall In charge,
~ each one came the lady announced
that there would be no meeting, which
was not only disappointment 10 the
leaders Of the meeting. but to the public
