fred last night when T. V. Gator spoke
in Neill's hall to fair-sizsd audience OF

The Populists were perhaps the most
numerous. Mr.. Gator is good speaker
and is we'll posted. He received round
after round Of applause az he made his
telling points. The Democrats present

agreed with the speaker to a great ex-
lent until he explained how the Popu-
list party proposed to remedy this stag
nation of business by the government
issuing the money necessary to make
good times to anyone who could give the
security to obtain the loan at l per cent,
running for 80 years. This latter part
the Democratic portion OF the house
could not endorse. Take it all through,
it was pretty good Democratic speech.

the meeting to order, read of list OF
vice presidents and introduced the
speakers. The meeting was quiet and
at times bursts of applause would ring
out, showing that the audience was in

pented and gave tho alarm in time. She
