ftantially as follows:
They were not satisfied to let Mr.. Nc
kreary Mr.. Buckner, Mr.. Brown and my
fclf fight this battle on its merits. but they
Imported a man who is greater than John
BIZ Baptist to drive back this silver craze,
tS they call it. Now understand that what
am going to say about Mr.. Carlisle will
b said in the kindest terms, don't mean
"a complain of MIR. Carlisle for coming to
his own state to speak. He has a right to
gome II was not necessary for him to apol
&gize for coming.

4eman came and spoke, whether he came
S citizen Of this grand old common
s Wealth or as Secretary of the Treasury.
