campaign reportory and then fall back
on ben Bolt and Sally in our AL
ley" for which they received q shower
of flowers from the young ladies on
the stage. The big demonstration,
however, was received for Roberts,
and it quite battles any attempt to

the ladies on the stage. Mrs. Howard,
advanced to the footlights AMI made
the following address:
after what we have witnessed and
the scene here presented, it would
seem a mere waste of time and words
and sentiments of appreciation. Yet
it is in the mighty voice of action that

we exolaim in unison, Welcome, favor

When Roberts was introduced, be-

girls on the stage arose and hurled a
voldey of flowers at him. When the
applause over this iacii ant had died
away, the gifted orator, visiioly affect
