At the conclusion OF Mr.. Bynum's
speech, which was received with great
enthusiasm, Frank Z. Foster OF Madison
county spoke briefly. He referred to the
lax law, and said that the republican pa
pers and politicians were endeavoring 10
poison the minds of tie people concern

had more righteous law and that any
nan with a conscience could defend it.
John W. Healing then spoke, saying
hat the delegates 10 the Seventh district
convention could congratulate themselves
upon the nomination that they had just
made. Mr.. Bynum was man
whom all democrats delighted to
honor. When surrounded by tariff
barous in the halls of congress
he had cried aloud against iniqui,ous
taxation. Although the standard OF the
democratic party went down in defeat in
1888. il had not gone down in disbonor.
The question now arises" said Mr.. Keal-
ing in conclusion, lin whose hands shall
the standard be placed in 1892? Who is
.he leader? None other than the illus
;rious Grover Cleveland" With great
cheering, the convention adjourned.
