the request Of tic Democratic committee.
come down to meet him. This, however.
he positively declined TO do. Thcreupon.
the committee posted printed notices to
the effect that Mr.. Bullitt would address

there were about us many Of them as
there were Rcpublcans) began to grow
restless and angry, and when three

his purpose to speak until night, thev

promised to give tie General the roasting
