 buried in Luzon and that on it's soil no foreign flag should ever salute the dawn. In his splendid peroraton he declared that the Republican party identified for forty years with everything ennobling and Up- lifting in our history, never so vital, virie and vigorous as today, and that with untarnished record it would transmit to posterity an undying love of liberty and of country.
 Demorstra ton to Gov. aylor
 A noteworthy incident of the session was the remarkable demonstration to Governor Taylor of Kentucky. That his party asso- ciates look upon him as a martyr to par tisan hatred their great ovation today made evident.
