chord in the hearts of the audience. He
pictured Bry IN as the champion OF the
plain people and of the working man,
strong with the masses, with the farmer
and with the artisan. When Hill de
clared with dramatic emphasis that the
candidate would have the support OF his
party-a united party-there was
tremendous applause at the suggestion

was chiefly significant and attractive in
its strong plea for unity. ut is time

Daniel of Virginia added his glowing
tribute to the candidate, while former

slowly. but clearly, and the attention
given him was remarkable. His lauda.

began to play America" to still the
