Portes reply to the joint note OF the SIX
Powers relative to the recent rioting here
has been made public.
The government enumerates the steps

aggressors in the rioting. II further says
that Armenians killed inoffensive Moham-
medans. and that in certain cases the
Mohammedans had to defend themselves
against their attacks.

about to open an inquiry for the pur-

quarters of an hour. Colonel Hubbard to
reply in an hour and a quarter, and Mr.
Flood to close in a half hour.

and strong presentation OF the cause OF
Democracy. and challenged Colonel Hub
bard TO point TO one thing in the admin
istraton of the affairs of the Common
wealth for the past ten years by the
Democratic party, or in his 0he s>-esfeD
course as member of the Legislature
Tor the past eight years that he Hub
bardl could criticise.
COLONEL HUBBARDS REPLY.
Colonel Hubbard's speech was rambling.
and was filed with anecdotes. He re-
sponded to Mr.. Floods challenge in so
feeble way that it was farcical. lie
also attacked the Walton law.
Mr.. Flood in his reply completely
punctured every point made by Colonel
Hubbard, and thoroughly aroused the
Democrats Both speakers were literally
applauded. but Hubbard's applause came
principally from the colored contingent.
There was a large crowd present and
il was a red-letter day for Democracy.
According to agreement. Mr.. Flood
speech was to close the discussion, but
SO badly had he worsted Hubbard that
Mr. W. c. Franklin felt 1t necessary TO
come to the latters relief, and mounted
the stand. This violation of the agree
ment was so gross that the entire crowd,
~ a few negroes,
left I'm disgust. Franklin held forth for
some time to this small audience. Put
