states in this broad land Of ours.
Three rousing cheers, which caused
the glass on the table to dance, were
given for Hon Thomas +. Bayard, as
Colonel Norton put It "Our Tom
Bayard," three more for the legion,
three for Chief Bagshaw and the
Democracy Of Pennsylvania, and three
for the ticket, and the formalities of the
banquet were over, and the legion
settled down to the entertainment Of
their friends and guests.
Did the Handsome Thing.
The Young Mems Democratic Club did
the handsome thing. The reception was
really under the auspices Of the Bayard
Legion, which invited the other club to
be one of those participating. The
invitation was promptly accepted and =
committee appointed to co operate with
the legion.
The beautiful club house on Market
street was more elaborate in its decora
tions and illumination than any house in
town. The club kept open house all the
evening and entertained nearly a
thousand persons, including nearly all OF
the out-of town delegations. Shortly
after II o'clock lunch was served to the
members and friends
The illuminated and decorated front
was universally admired, as was alsS
the pyrotechnical display.
At the conclusion Of the Bayard Legior
banquet Mr. Bayard and his party spent
some time In the rooms of the Younl
Mems Democratic Club.

"Peace on Earth snd Goodwill Toward
Men"
There were cheers at its conclusion,
which became deafening as Mr.. Bayard
advanced and essayed 20 speak He
made several attempts, but was forced
to give his admirers full scope for their
enthusiasm. He was much moved by
the manifestation Of good will
Thomas #. Bayard Speaks.
When he began, however, his voice
rang out as clearly and distinctly as that
of man much younger in years He
said

that Portugal has accepted help from the
