eheered loudly and kept 1t up for
some time. Judge Blanchard
made a splendid speech. one of
the best he has made during the

The chair then introduced
Capt. D. B. Steele, candidate for
state treasurer, who made a short
talk, but his voice having failed
him in the past few days, owing
to so much speaking and the con-

obliged to make his speech short.
The audience then adjourned for
dinner and enjoyed the splindid
barbecue which had been pre-
paced.
The party went from here to
Dodson where they speak today.
