JOSEPH II. EARLE.
:When Judge Earle was announced. one

wish to hear him. There were probably
half dozen cheers for Earle.
He was forced by statements made by
other speakers to deal with matters he

The speaker referred to his candidacy in
1890. stating that any man who said that
the position of the Shell manifesto charg-
