BARNES PHILLIPIc.
Gen. w. III. l.. Barnes delivered his
philippe at Turner hall tonight. His
topic was Convention Methods and Nom
ination Factories. The hall was densely
crowded long before the time set for the
address and hundreds we're turned away.
The eloquent lawyer was at his best and
made brilliant speech. Its tone. per-
haps, was q little milder than many ex-
pected, though it furnished food much
! conversation around the hotel Hobbies
and street corners tonight, The speaker
made direct attack on Mr.. Estee's po-
liticsl record, though asserting the
warmest feeling for the candidate per-
sonally.
He made very slight reference to Colo
mel Burns, aesociating him with Buckley
and Kelly and Crimmins and other
"bosses."
General Barnes began with an eulogy
of the Republican party and was FREE
quently cheersd as he made an effective
point. His remarks, at first quite gem
eral, finally brought him to the topic of
the night and he told how Mr.. Estee was
the Republican candidate for governor
in 1882 and was beaten, it was ssid by
railroad influence. The same influence,
he said, exists now even to q greater ex-
tent.
"Stoneman," said the speaker. "went
through that campaign without ever
opening his mouth, and Estee came cut
OF it with fl of bronchitis that he has
not got over yet. Still SLOVENIAN was
elected.
"The old soldiers were down on Estee.
for he boltsd the Republican ticket in
1872; declared that Grant was failure,
and served as an elector on the Demo
cratic ticket.

California legislature. The colored men
are against him. He was q member of
the anti-boycott convention, the most
nonsensical gathering ever in the state.
He ia q horse who can run just fast
enough TO get beat"
The speaker denied that he was sore
because of one OF his sons unsuccessful
candidacy for the gubsi material nomi-
nation, but said he was glad the young
man was out of it. The speaker vigor
ously denounced machine politics, re-
ferring once TO Burns, and expressed the
hope that the delegates would free
themselves from the thralldom of the
bosses. He referred contemptuously to
the statement that Knight would
"roast" him ii he roasted" Eatee,
and declared that knight had
not place in the convention large
enough to scratch q match to start
the fire. General Barnes was cheered
