Volney b. Cushing of Maine.
| temperance agtator of some note,
gave a lecture in the Auditorium
Monday evening under the auspices

ent went with the expectation of
| hearing a discussion of the temper

| along party lines, and also for the
reason that the audience was made
up largely of Republicans and Dem
ocrats, both of which parties the
| speaker scored severely.
