calculated to enlist their support.

Matthew Andrew, led Chamberlain to

When the applause which greeted
his arrival subsided. Chamberlain be-
gan TO speak. and, in addition to encour
aging cheers from line to time in the
course Of his oration, he was greeted at |
the close with great demonstration.
The points OF his speech attracting re-
markable attention was his eulogy OF
Ralfour, his representation Of the COM
ing struggle as one greater in conse-
quence than the Boer war, his deciara-
tion that all working men in the colo
nies were protectionists and his descrip |
tion of the American tariff as an abom-

present. including a number OF distin-
guished lawyers and laymen from
Georgia and other states The address
Of the New York jurist, which was Of
considerable length. was listened to
with close attention and literally APP
plauded. Judge Parker's subject was

various processes. such as police pow

Of law which the phrase occupies.
In conclusion he referred 10 the four
