The record of Mr.. Lassiter was discuss
ed by the speaker, and his position on
various State and national questions
were presented to the audience. MI.
| Turnbul held the close attention of u
large audience, and was frequently ap-
plauded by the crowd. The only inter-
Eruption occurred when the officers ar
rived with three prisoners from Vic
toria in the Wood murder case, when
about half of the speech had been de-
llivered. and as soon as it became
known a large portion of the crowd
hurried to the Jail to see the parties,
hut this only lasted a few minutes,
