ance rendered him by his late oppo-
nent in this county, Hon. s. P.

fifth district, the good people of

devotion and assurance that his aim
would be to serve each and every
part of the district with the same
fidelity and devotion, being partial
to no section or interest.

school, almost every pupil broke
down ard wsps bitterly, This allied
the heart Of the good teacher so
that his address was indeed very
short. Never In the history of the
Palmer school, have we heard oi
such an incident. II speaks palmer
than words the affections shared by
the pupils for their teacher and
vice versa. Never was the loss oil
a teacher so universally incurred as
In the loss Of Prof, Coghlan. We
feel that our public school has re-
eeived blow that il will take many
days 10 recover from. While rstir
ing from this school was of his own
accord, yet we feel II the proper in
fiuences had been brought to bear,
We might have held him for another

il; and tonight we welcome you,
bringing the hero crowned with new
honors and new friendships. Ap-
plause.
In the ferceness of that conflict,
gentlemen from Hill and Bosque,
we told you that we loved you, and
we ask tonight that you bear back
the tidings to your people as it
comes from the flush and fullness
of victory, that we love you still for
the work that you have done in
this fierce political contest. Fell
low citizens this is not the time for
speaking, II is the time when hon
orable citizenship that was scattered
all over Hill county can vent itself
by crying out in loud cries of vic
tory because our chieftain has re-
turned We want to say to these
citizens from Hill and Bosque that
we ask YOU to behold the citizens ship
of Ellis as it bears testimony tonight
of every word We said in Hill and
Bosque [Applausel. And my fell
low citizens, above it all WE do feel
proud tonight that from the holiness
of that contest, the fierceness of
which those only can know who
stood upon the firing line and did
battle for the brilliant young son Of
Ellis county. From that contest we
rejoice that he brought back what
he carried to Hill county--a spGt-
less reputation and a good name,
and an unchallenged character; for
We realize, my fellow citizens, that
since the immortal Lee set Apo
matox as gem in the crown of
modern heruism with honorable de-
feat, that We would rather he would
have returned home without
victory than for his name to have
been challenged by the citizens of
Hill county.
Mr.. skinner closed his speech
with q very pretty poetical parody.
The next speaker was Judge W.
&. Morrow, of Hillsboro. He spoke
of the political Affiliations between
Ellis and Hill counties, saying that
Hill had ia part paid back the debt
gratitude she owed Ellis. Judge
Morrow was followed by several
speakers who made short talks, in
which the campaign in Bosque and
Hill was frequently referred to.
1t was about 1880 O'Clock when
Mr.. Cole introduced Miss Minnie
Sims, who, ia "a few we'll chosen
words, presented Mr.. Beall with an
elegant boquet OF roses. As Mr..
Beall advanced to take the proffered
flowers, he was greeted by round
after round OF applause. Ia accept
ing the beautiful emblems Mr.. Beall
said that since the earliest period of
time, flowers had been regarded as
symbolical of purity. He spoke for
about twenty minutes and in the
beginning OF his speech he disclaim-
ed the virtues and honor spoken for
him BY the various speakers. He
paid very pretty tribute to his
aged mother, who occupied a place
on the stand. He said that it was
her love and prayers that had in
spired him through all the vicissi-
tudes of life. He referred briefly TO

A stand for the speakers had been
erected on the lawa on the south
side of the courthouse and chairs
and benches provided for the accom-
mediation of the vast crowd. The
stand was beautifully decorated with
flags, flowers and bunting. Over
