wrath, however, he pacifed the boys"
by assuring them that at the end Of
the candidates speech they should
have the liberty to put any questions
they choose. Accordingly, al the end

in stentorian tones, and in rich Irish
brogue:

been a conspicuous disturber OF the
peace of the evening, shufied slowly
up the steps Of the platform, but at
the top he was net by the chairman,
who, without the slightest warning, de-
livered terrific left and Fighter, and
sent the Welshman sprawling on his
back:
