number of distinguished men from all
over the State met here TO bid Mr.. Stew

Mr.. c. r. ROwls introduced him IN
a short and happy speech.
The General has not the gft OF oratory
in the broadcast sense, though he is a
pleasant and instructive speaker. lie
Is Il thinker rather than an orator, and
has forcible way of telling crowd
what he thinks.
The directness of the man strikes you
at once: his sincerity his love Oh the
truth for the truths sake.
This exposition Of the tariff was able,
simple and convincing. He handled the
Force bill without gloves and paid his
respects to the Third party IN no uncer-
tain language.
General Stevenson spoke for about an
hour and a half. His speech was dignlfled
and elevated in sentiment, and In every
way worthy of an aspirant for the second
highest Office within the gift OF the peo-
pie.
