Ex-Governor John P. St. John
spoke 81 the Grand Opera House
last Friday night, to a good audi

While he covered much of the
ground discussed by the old Green

new to them, and his speech. as a
whole, was new, in ideas, to ma
iority of the Sc who heard him. We
have heard only words of praise OF
the speach.

another man in the United States
who is better informed on that sub
iect. He understands it "from A
