there were cries for Horace Davis, and al
though the Republican candidate was not
expected to speak, the audience insisted
upon hearing him. Cheer after cheer
greeted him. For fully fifteen minutes

that greeted Hon. Horace Davis. When he
stepped to the front of the platform the
audience stood up and shouted. Men
