lecture and it's delivery l would say
that it was magnificent display of
historical information, eioquence and
oratory; and I, as one Of the delighted
audience and in behalf of the audience,
make this wish for the talented lecturer
may the mingo of the clouds keep
him from harm, and may the mammon
of unrighteousness be perpetuous to
his prayers.
On this occasion Mr.. Taylor was pre-
sented by N. @. Love in the following
words
Ladies and Gentlemen-I have the
pleasure this afternoon of presenting
to you Hon. A. "A. Taylor, one Of Ten
nessee's favorite and favored sons and
one of the most talented, brilliant and
successful lecturers on the American
platform. He will address you in his
characteristically elegant and eloquent
manner upon subject which, within
itself, is suggestive of far-reaching re-
trospection and wonderful progression,
or both. The subject of his discourse
this afternoon Is, eff Columbus Should
Wake" The object of this lecture ia
to restore to its proper place in the
galaxy of great characters that of the
meritorious Christopher Columbus, one

4 influence of envious and jealous digni
taries, who attained and retained thai
positions either by birth or at the dis
erection of a monarch, regardless o
merit. Thus it was that this grand olC
