! Bacon addressed a large audience here

made for democracy than the one so forci-
bly, presented by him to-day. The speech
will surely bear good fruit, and has

permanent secretary. After a heated dis

the minds Of the populists on
the subject, motion to in
dorse the democratic nominee for the
legislature Hon. w. A. Symons was de-
feated. The meeting adjourned without
nominating any candidates for office and
