hOrted
While his strong. forcible speeches
have been appreciated everywhere he
has been, | have never seen more
appreciative audience than this one.
Mr. Glenn evidently saw this and
arose to the occasion. To look upon
such a splendid gathering was Sufli-
cient to fill such an orator with eX-
ira inspiration to do his best, and this
the speaker did. Abiding to the days
of 186S-69 and calling Vance's name

little cooking and Wash-tub work won't
hurt you" TO the boys: "A little
blowing and showing the plane will do
you good" He showed the import
2Ece of industrial education, and said
that what we want to develop the State
are women, not butterflies; men not
dudes.
His concluding remarks alluding to
hearing voices from all over the State,
saying. Speak, Glenn. please Tor

such an effect upon all present that
every man and woman who heard Mr.

determination to swell the Democratic

The court house was decorated with
flags and bunting.
