Linney labored on the amendment in
the opera hall last night. He tried to
throw his hearers off their guard by
stating that he wanted to appeal to
their reason and then poured forth a
consummation of fallacies and a pre-.

clause of the amendment, the educa.
tional clause, and made no mention Of
the grandfather clause in his entire
speech. Mr.. Linney spoke rather as q
man frenzied by madness and bloated
with prejudice, than man of sound
