order. He said: For the greater honor OF
literature and to render homage to it's
higher and nobler developments as the
chiefest of the arts. this meeting has been
assembled. The name Of the great artist

been one to conjure with. The public heart
is still throbbing with warm and tender
sympathy for the untimely death Of Robert

coined his life In the way he desired to
coin it. If you ask me to be sorry here

The gold buggers in Washington

would rise and expand with every blow
until it was torn loose from its founda

anche over the popular mind. Silver!
silver! silver. is the cry from now and
on, until the gold bugs will be left high
and dry on u lee shore. We are not
far from believing with Anthony Com
stock, ''that il all of our gold would
pass to Europe, we would not need it.
Lycurg1s, the greatest lawgiver Of
