An audience which packed the

hid net indulge in dowery oratory.
X: gave a good common sense talk
ur thequestions involved in the state
npaign. No one left the- hall, as
Happened frequently during Morris
speech the week before. ION the
stage were several old soldiersSwho

ticket. They are with Mr.. Lind this
year.
Mr.. Lind opened by thanking the
citizens OF the county for the gener-
ssE1r support accorded him. He
PICKED fun gently at Mr.. Eustis' at
tempted to make the state cam
:paign on war issue, and referring
Ga sMr. Eustis' talk about moral ef-
Il esSs:s said:
But, really, so far as the war is
( s<anesr<ned, do you think that the
: zmssrdl effects OF the election of Mr..
aza:stis would be much greater than
80 a5 Of nay election. l say to you
that the moral effect in the capitals
csE Europe, and it was one that will
l&st, was produced on that May
informing ia the harbor OF Manila, at
E;i &;aney, and ON San Juan's Hill,
wfsen CerVera's fleet was sunk"
No ene OF the political parties op-
<EaeseG the war, said Mr.. Lind, there
Fore it cannot be made an issue.
among other things Mr.. Lind said
e " she fusion legislature OF 81:
The legislature Of 1891 IS entitled
to credit for several things which
zaage greatly benefited our people.
It put the binding Irvine plant in the
.. State prison on it's feet. That act
- alaiae has saved the farmers OF this
state millions OF dollars. 1t broke
She cordage trust and reduced the
aycaee OF that indispensable article to
ehzc farmers by one-half. This year,
I am informed that the trust got in
Its work again. The prison manage
<Elsent sold the entire output OF Irvine
early in the season. By the time the
fasmer needed it the pricelhad been
doubled and the prison had not q
:zsound to sell. I thinkJwe have a
Manila interest at home that needs
attention.
@<The legislature Of 1891 also
passed the railroad legislation un.
