lie article was an attack upon your
humble servant. L am certain it was
one OF the speakers or one of the COM

item, and, therefore, In defense OF my
self aud friend, Will reply.
They termed IL An enthusiastic
meeting. 1t is no trouble for people
TO vary from the truth in the news
papers when they can 90 So far around
while addressing intelligent citizens.
We Will take their report for what iJ is
worth, after examining it carefully.
OF course, men Of that type who
pennec the above will not hesitate to
stUop to any thing, even to utter base
falsehoods. ''ChangeaEle men, are
not to be relied upon If they are pro-

shouting to encourage their Speakers,
aud to make 1t appear enthusiastic Is
1t possible, would ask, that men of in
telligence would applaud speakers who
did nothing but call them anything but
white men? Oh, 1 tell you, The
Democrats got IL served up in shape.
The second speaker tried TO be elo-

The first part of his speech, wherein
he said, 'Siuce the MormOns have
