JUDGE A. G ALLEN
was 1.-The TO- speaker. The Judge
was heartily cheered whenh his familiar
face appeared before the audience.
His address dealt almost exclusively
with the money questions. He GOA
sidered the question of free coinage of
silver one of the most vital questions
that The people OF this county were
ever confronted with. He gave history
to show that it was the purpose Of
the founders of this government fa
our money system to rest on a basis OF
| b~i-metallism. He discussed silver
legislation from the time Of George
Washington to the present day, and
showed that this country maintained
bi-metallism until 1879 when john
sherman by foul means struck silver
silver has faliSo SI1cIA showed how
all Of the products Of the Soil lave
fallen along with silver, while gola
has continued to rise. Judge Allea'y
speech was listened TO with rapt
attention and was u deep d~iscnssian
Of the one issue Of this campaigu-rroe
silver.

best speech any Of his friends here
have eveI heard him make. III wis his

memorable lottery campaign and lie
Governors personal appearance has
undergone II remarkable metalnorllbo-
SIS since then, and the metamorphusis
IS decidedly for the better. When
Governor Foster visited Terrebonne
during the lottery campaign he wore
Whiskers aud was thin aud hollow
checked, now the minister's have dis.
appeared and his face is ''as round as
a butter BALL" Many who heard him
sayed that he made Que of the best
speeches they ever listened to. He
did not indulge in demasogic utter4lu
ces, but made a powerful appeal to
the voters of the parish supported by
truth and logic. The Governor took
the ground that the fight now goins
ON was a battle for supremacy between
the people and the trusts; "a battle
between those who have right, honor
and patriotism Oh their side and those
who are the self-confessed champions
OF every oppressive evil that the hls.
tory OF nations tells Hs have been II
menace to good government. It is Il
fight between the lovers Of justice and
the threatening usurpatiou of centra-
lied wealth, and huge corporations.
He spoke in the most complimentary
terms OF the young giant of the West,
William Jennings Bryan, who is SO
ably and ~fearlessly leading the friends
Ut good government in their supreme
effort to destroy tho avowed enemies
Of government. He compared Bryan
q brave young Georgian, who, iu
the vicissitude of battie, during the
late war, when confusion reigned IN
confederate ranks, and all seemed
lost, gfasped the hag-pole and with
the flag of the Confederacy floating
over his head, forged to the front and
By his gallant leadership changed

Nearly nineteen hundred years
Since our bethlehem STAR appears.
Bringing joy and peace and rest
Even while ct Mays breast.
Bells were ringing far and near,
Angels singing sweet and clear
Christmas carols, heavenly strain,
Peace on earth. good win toward men.
Loud hossnnas then were sung.
Every golden harp was strung.
And the music swelled sfar
While more glorious grew the star;
Joy bells ohimed. the air was rent,
For Saviour had been sent;
And the world swellcd the refrain--
Peace on earth. good will toward men.
Loi His birthday comes again-
Precioua lamb on calvary slain
Sitting BY His Fathers throne,
For our sins He hath Atoned.
Ring, oh joyful bells, ring out;
Lei every tribe and nation shout.
He sends His spirit here TO reign
And peace on earth, good win toward men
