spicuous during the earlier part of the evening
These rowdies were allowed to have their way for
a time, and AZ every opportunity their cries for
Bryan and free silver were heard.
The persons in question did the work they were
sent do in a manner which can leave room for
complaint and they are entitled to their hire. II
is not their fault that they were finally disarmed

Mr. Qulgg OF the fallacy Of the free silver theory
which he presented in such manner as to con
vince oven the sceptica hirelings Of Tammany

ashamed Of their actions was evident later from
the absence of Interruptions OF the character re-
ferred
