MR.. HAMlLToN's KEYNOTE.

II Mr. Hamilton had any message TO

the audience that met to listen to the
keynote utterance of his campaign.
Perchance he felt that it was not his

be no disputing the fact that he care
fully avoided saying anything at all
about the things his friends were
claiming he would fire the state about.
He did not talk Of capitol extension, he
did not talk Of state expenses. he did
not talk Of tax levies. He did not even
refer to Governor Clarkes direct chal-

iscences CO HE services n the legisla
ture OF a generation ago. The only i'm
preston anybody could get was that
his campaign is apparently framed
along the same lines as Mr.. Rowley' s
campaign for the republican nomina-

mendous dissatisfaction with Governol
Clarke and feels that he can realize on
