Every one present, we believe, will bear
us out that it was a magnificent nro-
auction, elevating in matter and elo-g
quent IN delivery. 1t was matchless iis
elegance of diction, superb in the
MOVERS OF rhetoric, and grand in senti-
ment. Ex-Governor Bob TAYLOR can
not excel it as a word painter. He has
rich vocabulary that is simply won
derful in copiousness, fiuency and
in descriptive power, as well as capti-
waiting in thought. We do not hesitate
to say that Mr.. Camp is Georgia's fore
most orator, and his lecture one that
any cultured audience would enjoy.
