WILD oUTBURsT OF APPLAUSE.
Narkham's entry into the hall was the
signal for wild outburst Of applause which
was maintained even after he was seated on
the platform, and when lie addressed the
assembly he was greeted with another
ovation. He opened his speech by stating
that he fe.t proud If holding in his hand a
Sold-headed cane which had been presented
10 him but an hour ago. He said the gold on
the handle Of the zane was almost too rich
for bis blood, for b. had never before car
Iied such a one, but he had at once made up
his mind to carry il until he could no longer
walk on earth.
There was a ring of joy in his voice when
he spoke of the great friendships shown for
him 10 San Francisco, telling Of tue sur
prises which had been sprung upon him by
the presentations of Grand Army badge,
made from the wood Of the lost ship
Trenton, and a cane. He referred with
considerable eloquence to the manner in
which the Trenton went down in the great
storm at Apia, and his description of the
bravery displayed by the crew there was
heard with delight and received with ring
Ing cheers.
He terminated his brief address by de-
cIaTing his intention of being true to the in
terests OF the State if he is elected, and The
assembly cheered enthusiastically.
Ii. V. Morehouse followed the Colonel,
and declared that after November 4th Mark
ham Will have buried every Buckley lamb
deep down IN the mud of Buckey's Pond.
! hen referring TO Markham's character, he
SAID that the Republican candidate for Gov
ernof was not man who charges per cent
minute Oh loans, but one who had worked
Dard IOr his living and Is familiar with the
wants Oh every body; an honest mantle
noblest work OF God. [Cbeers.]
WAREHOUSES; CONVERSION.
In lis own words this is the story of the
speakers conversion to Republicanism
"W hen was woTm-eaten Democrat, aad
wore my hair long, and chewed tobacco and
spit it at bumble-bees, Markham came along
and converted me. You see | had come TO
understand the labor question pretty well.
and i WAS well aware that the Democratic
party had never favored protection to home
Industries, SO when Colonel Markham came
along, looking for all the world like Logan,
/ asked his permission to deliver my first
Republican speech He readily aeouiesced
and since that time / have kept right along
making speeches for the Republican party"
