a speech of also an hour. During the
Governors speech Colonel Goumans

Governor and took notes and disposed
of his scrap books. The Governor made
a bitter speech in which he said that
despite all their protestations. conserv-
atism was Haskellism in disguise, and
| the conservatives were for the nominee
so long as the nominee WAS not Till
man. He said that Governor Sheppard
was sham and trickster. His strict
ureS were otherwise severe.
THE RETREAT
Before he concluded, he said severely
| that he must close, as there was one
man who wanted to speak (Ioumans),
and he wanted the crowd to hear
| him.
Saying this, he asked for his hat, say
ing he was going to his hotel.
At this declaration there was great
excitement. The Governors friends
were taken aback. The action was a
great shock and a surprise to everybody.
The opposition cried: ''Runningn The
meeting stood still to recover from the
shock. Whether necessary or not, the
administration friends felt that q mis-
| take had been made, and 1t was al
unfortunate occurrence.
Col. IounIans begged the Governor
to remain and hear his speech. His

voices "go and rest"
The crowd, however, were against
the Governor without the shadow of d
doubt, and the cries to him were
weak. His friends were surprised. The
