 As in previous speeches yesterday
 the state, MT. Hughes made the [riff his chief theme last night. In eplying to statements in President Filson's speech, MT. Hughes said:
 ''The other day our opponents had
 little festival of self-glorifcation. hey conferred upon themselves the ighest honors they could bestow. hey celebrated the birth of freedom. hey had emancipated, they said, retty much everything and every ody. Finding no lesser praise to e adequate they finally described themselves as the generous forces of he ago and of the world. For these, hey say, will be thrown back in dis and confusion in the vent of their defeat. They say in fleet that if a majority of my fel- DIV -countrymen elect me hum anity ill be routed.
 laughter of Vera Cruz and Car1izal
 This delicate tribute on my owr ndeavors I keenly appreciate. The ulogy needed only one further toucT lid that was to celebrate the policy hat led to the slaughter at Vera Cru; nd Carrizal. These I suppose would ,e regarded by the generous forces # the age as peace parties; and il he same whimsical domain of topsy the Underwood and Adam on bills must be hailed as the guard ans of American enterprise and o American labor.
