II with recital Of the glorious achieve.

ments Of the nation in the 124 years that
have elapsed since the signing OF the
Declaration OF Independence. He dwelt
eloquently on the duties devolving upon
the citizens in order to perpetuate the
glorious system inaugurated by that
document. Duties that require every
citizen to familarize himself with the
policies advocated by the great political
parties, and to align himself with that
party whose policies he believes to be the
b. st calculated to promote the true inter.
ests Of the nation. He believed the great
majority Of the people were honest, and
that, with a full knowledge OF the sub
ject, their verdict might ever be depend
ed upon.
The issues pending between the parties
today were skilltuliy outlined, without
Il solitary word that could be construed
to have the slightest partisan bearing.
Mr. Ronald is an ardent partisan hiul-
self, but with keen appreci .tion that
upon the Fourth Of July partisAnship is
forgotten, and all are Americans. The
speaker was frequently applauded during
the speech. and closed amid enthusiastic
applause.
| The sporting program was carried out
without hitch as advertised, with TIE
exception Of the balloon ascension, and
this was caused by the failure OF the
aeronaut to appear as agreed. Prof.
LasceIlrs wrote the committee early in
June for the engagement, and his PROPOSE
ton was at once accepted. and, OH June
II duplicate contracts we've signed by the
professor and the president and secretary
of the committee. Why he failed to APP
pear, or ii he is financially responsible
for the violation OF his contract is not yet
known, but will be ascertained. That
he intended to come when he made the
contract is evinced 10y the fact that the
electrotypes used in announcing the
ascension in the posters were sent down
by him, and the committee fully expected
his arrival Tuesday evening.
The fireworks were set off OH Harbor
Heights by DIR. Paul SHIFTS, and were
visible all over the Harbor. The ball by
the fire department was attended by a
large crowd OF merry dancers, and the
fun continued TO the small hours OF the
morning OF the fifth. Taken as a whole,
Aberdeen has no cause to be ashamed Of
its celebration.
