THE CANDIDATES.
Mr.. Mcdonald then discussed the merits
of the various candidates. AS 10 the
nomination Of Mr. O'Nell for Surrogate.
the speaker declared that there was
sense of poetic justice, tinged with ro-
nance, that made Mr.. O'Neil the Demo-
cratic candidate for Surrogate in this
campaign. Then he related the familiar
story Of Mr.. O'Neil's connection with the
Surrogates' Office. Mr.. Bruggeman he
knew fairly well. The office OF Director
at-Large was an Office the speaker was
familiar with, having served four years
himself. 1t is not an office where poiti-
cal friends can be made, but Mr.. Brugge-
man had served the taxpayers well, and
by his amiable disposition made no politi-
cal enemies.
AS to Mr.. Tumulty the speaker knew
him to have been hard worker, plodder
in life, recognized as a man of honesty
and integrity; yet not without skill In

SENATOR HUDsPETH s SPEECH.
Mr.. Hudspeth followed Mr.. Mcdonald
in an effort that surprised even his
friends. He refuted eloquently the two
charges that had been brought against
him, first, that he was ring candidate,
and, secondly, that he defended
the ballot box suffers. AS to
the latter charge he said
II took an oath as lawyer to perform
my duty according to law. No man is
lawfully considered guilty until he is
proven to be so. He's entitled to the aid and
assistance of a lawyer. The constitution
guarantees him right to be tried by
Jury of his peers. In obedience to my
oath undertook to defend them. and,
God helping me, will always do my
duty in the interest Of a client.
LAS to the first charge, would that you
were present at the convention that NOM
mated me. 1t was thoroughly county
Democratic convention. held within

best Of my ability, and will do it honest

advised his hearers to look out for still

concerning mir. Hudspeth's candidacy,
