and few otaers.
Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn and several
ladies who happened TO be at the hot-
during the evening were prevailed upon
Blinn feared that her presence might
check the spirit or spirits Of the evening
and withdrew early, declining the invita-
ton to talk to the politicians.
An orchestra discoursed dreamy music.
and couple Of banjoists-or to do them
theatrical company, counteracted the
sop0rifc effects of the swest-Strained
strings, and made the wilkin ring.
When the wine had sOfteHed the guests
to the listening point, Mr.. Bromley spoke.
He began by saying, whenever | say
anything which is particularly good GO
not hesitate to applaud"
Straightway the plaudits and the braves
began, and after that the speaker had
small reason to remind his hearers of their
duty. He was feicitous throughout and
particularly happy ia his manner of intro
ducing Mr.. Shannon.
That gentleman made a short speech,
promising at the outset not to talk politics
a such meeting. and keeping his prom
ence OF so many friends made him feel
that he was almost elected. When he
touched on national politlces he declared
the Rapu ollcan principles the principles
upon which the Government was founded,
and therefore the ones which should be
sustained.
There were three parties in the field. and
one OF them was factor which was puZ-
cling the most astute politicians. The
local campaign was a little mixed ana
there was some kicking. To kick was the
prerogative of Americans. Thew had
been INDUCING 1t ever since they kicked
the tea overheard in Boston harbpr That
was good long kick. This one he thought
would not do very much harm. Mr.. Shan
non promised that if be should be elected
Republican principles would never suffer
by anything he might do.
