DR.. Springer presided and
introduced the speakers. Senator
Gray's speech was as remarkable for his
omissions as for his various assump-
tions. lie did not say single word
about dollar wheat or the two jobs that
would be waiting for every man who
wished to work, on the election OF
Mr.. Cleveland. as he assured the pso-
pie in 1899 If they followed his advice.
Neither did he say anything OF the in-

Rail- DAD Company, 80 he may not
cure whether our workshops run
every day or only make half time,
