"After we were seated and the
dining had progressed. Col.
Breckenridge entered and traversed
the entire length of the banquet
hall to his seat, without a sign of
recognition. amidst a silence that
was ominous and broken only by
the articulation Of the vertebra of
several gentlemen as they braced
themselves against the chilling re-
ception the Colonel received.
Later on Col. Breckenridge re-
sponded to the toast intended for
Mr. Owens. His speech was pref
tily eloquent and full Of sentiment,
and evoked hearty applause; but l
have in my mind another speaker
at the same board who distinctly
won greater favor and whose
speech won him more applause
than was accorded Col. Breckin-
ridge.
"You ask who, in the face of
only such occurrence as l narrate,
had the nerve to send out the
aurora borealis' stories of ovations,
tremendous applause, unrestrained
enthusiasm, &c.. &c. Why you
ought to know how things Of that
sort are brought about better than
l. However. in the light of the
ref sal Of the POSTMASTER to read
at the banquet or even allow
friends of Col. Owens to see his
letter declining the invitation, |
am forced to believe that the BAN
quet incident and the fake ovation
reports sent out to the foreign
newspapers were worked up for
political effect. The reporters and
correspondents lent themselves to
a scheme for the prostitution Of
social Masonic reunion into an
attempted booming Of political
candidate in distress.
1.-The Masons, as body take
no part in politics, and the mem
beers of the lodges in this city
are not. as a rule, extreme parti-
sans, and l have heard many ex-
pressions Of displeasure from
Masons over the attempts of GER
tain newspapers to magnify into a
political boom the ordinary civility
always shown even an impromptu
speaker on a social occasion.
"The withholding from publica,
ton of Mr.. Owens letter Of regret
and the fake stories of an ovation
to Col. Breckenridge. unjustly
place the Masons in the attitude OF
lending special encouras cement TO
the candidacy of the latter. 1t is
to set the order right and do
justice between man and man that
| furnish these facts for publica.
tfon.
"By the way, the above quoted
letter of w. 6. Owens to the
Masonic Committee is nearly
literal copy Of the original, written
by Mr.. Owens yesterday at the
request Of several Masonic friends,
who had been denied the privilege
of seeing the original.
