the first real defeat he has suffered.
Many would have been glad to see him
at the head of the ticket-all wanted
to see him on the ticket. The crowd
was in the best of humOr. 1t was q
great gathering of a great people, PEG
pie who feel that their State has been
retrograding under the rule of the Re-
publican party, that it has fallen into
disgrace and degradation in some res
poets, on account Of the bitterness and
grasping. the uncomfortable ways,
and the strife and even murder of
those who have been endeavOring to
fOist themselves or friends upon the
people. The question of negro su
premacy is very grave one here, 1t
showed itself in the present assembly.

publican paTay for governor, had i'm

Gently president of The Hague Arhi-

ings. The. Minister expresses respect
for the speech, of Wayne Mcyeagh' as
an oratorical effort, but says it com
