Patteson. Eilyson, and Marshall.
The giant plum-puddine is no more.
Yesterday It was al enormity; to-day It
is memory.
Like the Colossus at Rhodes. its hour
has past, but round its hallowed name
there cling thousand happy memories.
il was q willing martyr to the Demo-
cratic cause-a joyous victim on nations
altar, and when its earthly frame passed
into space it left behind a tranquil, happy
spirit. It's dying throes bespoke peoples
Joy and told the reiOiclngs on millions.
Every plum in its fragrant anatomy repre-
scntcd al enthusiastic patriot, and every
Slice Of citrOn in It's frame was a sweet re-
| Ininder Of NIrglnla's dutltul sons.

GENERAL WISE AND BEv. NUNFORD
The General proved himself to be a de-
l;cbf+pl nosturaudiaI orator. for IN hls
sneach # accordance he pleased his hear
ars greatly. De referred 20 the domestic
tiaiitions about plum-puddIngs. and
added that in the political world of pud-
dinps. the biggest plum of all was not tine
greed for Office. but the safety. honor, ana
welfare OF the southern people. HIS al
luslons 10 Cleveland were exceedingly
happy and dDrOpGs.
The speaker in closing stated that Sena-
tor Iaulel. who was expected TO uuvell the
monument of culinary skill, was unavold-
/ ably absent, and therefore bon. b. Is.
/ Nuuiord would take hls place. Mr.. Nun
