only Zebina K. Pangborn, while 1key
Goldenhorn was on hand to play the part
OF foil to the Major. Mr. .MacSherry is
reputed an eloquent orator and his
sonorous periods and good elocution
pleased the crowd which filed the hall.
Mr.. Berdine is witty, sarcastic and elo-
quent when he has a good cause to plead
for He was not particularly eloquent
last night He pleaded for Pangborn and
abused McDermott; pleaded for Voor-
hees and belittled Crane, in whom he
could find nothing to abuse. The chief
burthen of his Jeremiad was Jim Smith
ISM and he emptied his vituperative
vials all over the Democratic Senator

low and was doled out to keep the audi

that all written requests to purchase

He put in several good words for Voor-

with Republican who viii vote against

him to himself as a candidate. To show
his fitness for a seat in Congress he made
a long discourse upon the money ques-

nished occasion now and then to tell
story. He also promised if elected to Sc

although there was a heavy fractional

amply demonstrated at all OF the Demo-

a joyial disposition, and has many inti-
mate friends in the ward who are work
