POLITICAL SPEAKING.
Inc afternoon was taken up in listen
ing to political speeches. Hon. j. M.
Stubs, Republican candidate, was present
aud opened his address immediately after
dinner and had finished before Judge
w. II. Mann, the champion whom the
Democrats had on hand. arrived at .
o'clock. Mr.. Stubs speech showed
that he had not cultivated oratory. He
displayed good deal of courage and
earnestness to stand before an audience
composed chiefly of Lancaster Demo-
Gratis. When Judge Mann arrived terms
were made between him aud Mr.. Thos
Ball, Sr., who was to champion the Re-
publican cause. Judge Mann led Off and
covered most fully the national issues
involved in this campaign. Indeed there
was nothing that could be thought of
that he did not fully explain. He, con-
sequently, occupied a great deal of
time, but his audience did not seem TO feel
1t and were vociferous in their applause.
Mr.. Ball followed, touching upon
points in rather rambling manner, SO
much so that Judge Mann II his re-
Joinder said that he had started TO keen
notes but his opponent had jumped from
pillar to post in such rapid manner
that he gave up the attempt. The
Judge, nevertheless, succeeded in touch.
ing up Mr.. Ball in lively manner and
kept his audience In a continual uproar
OF laughter and shouts. Ii was certainly
a field day for Democracy. One of the
most gratifying things of the whole oc.
casion was the courteous and good
natured manner in which Messrs. Mann
and Ball conducted their discussion.
