of Mr.. Flowers and said the
enthusiasm with which Mr.. Flow
ers' name was received left no
doubt of the acclamation with
which it will be received through
ont the State. He briefly re-
viewed Mr.. Flowers career and
especially referred to his efforts in
Congress in behalf of the Worlds
Fair in New York. One of the
tissues to be made in the coming
campaign was that New York had
been deprived of that great boom.
He eulogized Mr.. Flowers charity
and public spirit. He was indeed
the flower of our manhood.
Mr.. Catlin, of Kings county,took
the platform and said: Kings
county had never bolted the
: ticket and this camp-meet-
ing oratory was unnecessary.
: He eulogized Mr.. Chaplin and re-
e ferred to Mr.. Flower as under sus-
r picion Of being Doodle candidate.
e This was the Republican view.
The party ought not to have cam
e didate subject to criticism by the
T. enemy. A candidate identified with
k large financial transactions was look
l. ed upon askance by the masses. The
S size of barrel head ought not to
e control the convention. Chaplin had
:, demonstrated his vote getting power

e ever. j. D. McMahon, of Oneida
