'NE-~-<~-&---@ S N" MADE HIS GRACEFUL SALUTE TO THE AU- confidence either in his own strength and ability or in their appreciation and support.
 Waiting only until the enthusiasm had subsidcd sufficiently for him to make his voice heard North began with graceful acknowledgement of the reception that had been accorded him; weaving into his remarks with corsumnate tact the most delicate flat tery, of the audience, which was in Tenuously indor5cd by hearty cheering. Then he mentioned Col. Clippers name, and. amid the applause that this refer cncc clicitcd. hr proceeded briefly to eulogizc that Cc1tleman's devoted pub lie services, giving due credit to Warner and ot hers who. as faithful coadjutors. had stood shoulder to shoulder with the valiant colonel in many hard won fight
 Finally, having struck fire from the audience by these siiillful and wcll-di- rected blows until the glow could be seen and felt in all parts of the house, North glided neatly and effectively in to the elaborate theme that had been announced for him.
 II has been sometimes advanced as an axiom in oratory. founded on the ex- perienec of~fnany famous public speak CTS that there can be no signal success promised to any orator who does not approach his audience with feeling Of dif;idence amounting even to stage fright. Granting this to be correct. there was d brilliant promise of success in the frame of mind with which Allan North entered upon his address. Dur ing all the time he was speaking with such ease and fiuency he was watching the audience with q keenness that would have detected the slightest evi- dcnce of an unfavorable in precision and it was no dOu bt duo in part to thi: intense interest and concentration of hi. own thought upon the audience that ll' held them i'll such close sympathy ant attention. The very novelty of his sit nation. instead of embarrassing him seemed to afford him peculiar inspira ton, and as by degrees he gained con 1idencc from the hearty applause tha he received he gave himself up to thu influences and illusions of the moment and threw himself, heart and soul, into what he was saying.
 So completely was he swept along b, the force of his own imagination tha he quite forgot he vas not the Ela1 whom everyone Tn that large audicnc, firmly believed him to be; and instead of a comedy played of necessity for Iii own convenience. the whole affair be came to him. for the time, an i,aportan and lignificd reality. He grew earnestly interested in his theme, and afte skctching with vivid oratory all the pos abilities that lay in the future, whe1 the commercial and manufacturing in tercstS, now in their infancy, the edu cational facilities. the natural advan tagcs of N were fully developed, ht closed with 9 strong and eloquent pie; for justice, liberty and morality, with out which TO enduring prosperity coulC bc attained.
 The assembly were held in q state 0. almost brcathlcss attention from tho beginning to the close of the address ard when finally with q brilliant pcro. ration that led by rapid degrees to ar eloquent climax, tho speaker bowed his farewell to the audience, they brolle forth into a storm of applause that raircd down from the galleries an6 swept in tempestuous waves over the house.
 It was unquestionably the most as founding success tkat Allan North had ever achieved; and when it was all over his astonishment fairly balanced his re- lief
 As soon Gs he could escape from the %dniriag populace, who 5hovercd co11- plimcnts and congratulations upon hin and insisted on shaking harGs with him. after the irpulsivc custom of tl,c aver age American. hc was carrie C c-& his hotel by his two right-hanG loel ;ip- . per and Warner. who sce1ncu t. feel as nnch pride in his manner of acquitting himself as if they had shared the achievement.
