The chairman ot tbo evening was Henry
W. King , nnd his brief speech on receiving
the gavel was the key note of Iho mooting.
Mr. King said that the business men of the
west had boon struck with dhmav at a plank
adopted by the recent national conyontion
as a portion of the democratic national plat
form. 1'hKt plank , by demanding tno repeal
of the 10 per cent federal tax on state hank
issues , proposed a return to that wildcat
and red-dog currency of thirty years ago that
wrecked the finances of tbo nation. Unou
the question of currency and IInance , upon
the impending dancer of the hour , there was
or.o man pre-eminently qualified to speak
Hon. John Sherman of Ohio , tbo great finan
cier ot tlio nation ,
BUarumn ( re toil with Apiilumo.
Tremendous applause greeted Senator
Sherman ns ho slopped to the front , and It
was over a mlnuto tioforo the demonstration
of enthusiasm subsided sufllclcntly to en
able him to speak. At frequent Intervals i.n
tbo course of his speech be was interrupted
by tumultuous of applause , the climax ot
enthusiasm being reached when bo men
tion the name of Lincoln nud of other great
leaders of the past. Senator Sherman said
in nart :
"Ooo of the Issues between these two par
ties , which has already bucn named by your
chairman , is whether the people of the
United Slates are willing to abandon the na
tional currency which has been established
by tno republican party in the form of
United States notes nud treasury notes nnd
silver certillcates and gold certltlcatos , all of
equal value , not only In the country of the
United.States , but nil ovc-r the civilized
world whether wo will abandon this form
of currency-and revive again the old cur
rency of our fathers , the red-dog shinplasters
ters of thirty or forty years ago.
Another of the questions Is whether
wo will authorize the holder ot
3"'K ' grains of silver , wortb in the mar
ket uboul 05 cents , to go to tbo treasury of
the Uultod Slates or to the mint , and there
demand a dollar , or if wo cannot coin the
dollar fast cnoucb , to demand your note , the
note o * the people of the United States , for
ono dollar , when tbo purchasing power of the
sllverln that dollar is out ( i.ri cents ; or
whether , on tbo other hand , wo will buy that
silver at its market price , win Uas needed
by tbo ueoplo of tte-C-utTod States and main-
talnjlt iV b'no glundard of gold in all the uiar-
V -cts ot'tho word. [ Applause. |

'Another question that is also to your in
terest , is whnlhor in levying duties on Im
ported goods , from which wo derive the chief
sourcoof our revenue , vm should bo guided
alone by tbo muro attaining of revenue for
the support of the government , or wnother ,
in addition to that , wo should seek to divers
ify , increase , magnify and improve the in
dustries of our country and to protect iho
wealth of our people nguinst undue competi
tion abroad. [ Applauso.J Now , my coun
trymen , thcso questions are to bo submitted
to you. Take Ida llrat question. The ques
tion is presented by tbudonio.jratlc platform
referred to by your honored chairman. It is
contained in two lines :
" We recommend that the prohibitory 10
per cent tax on stale circulation be repealed.1
"Well , now in the lirst outlook of that
simple resolution it would seem that a tax ol
It ) per cent on any kind of clrctilallon would
bo a very heavv tax , and the plain funnel
would say : 'Why. that ii too much taxes ,
Why not'J per cent or I per cent ! ' The au <
swer is.my countrymen , that the tax was
levied in the midst of war in order to drive
out of existence nnd cut the throat of till !
whole system of state bank paper money
which bad ruined the country ovorand ovei
again and involved it in trouble. " [ Ap
plause. ]
"Why. my countrymen , under the consti
tutlon of the United State * , the states an
prohibited from omitting bills of credit , am
bills of credit uro supposed to bo in the lorn
of money to bo circulated as money. It for
bids , also , thnt they iihnll make anything bu
gold and silver a legal tender in pavincn
of debts. Tbo fathers who formed tha
provision believed they had cut ou
this whole system of local paper mono ;
by the rdots , They declared that no stall
could emit bills of credit or paper money
for thnt was the meaning of it. But it wa
said that tbo states intent authorize cor
pjratlons to doit. Why , the ordinary log !
of a plain man , without resorting ti
lawyers at all , would convince any one that
if a stale could not do it , it could no
authorize the people of that state to do It
Therefore , It wi s believed that there couli
bo no stale bank paper monov. The consti
liitlon of Ibo United Stale. * provide ! tha
congress may repuluto the value of money
inny coin money and regulata Us value ; Ilia
. congress may borrow money nnd , M inclden
to that , may issue bills of credit nnd , llnallv
it may raiik'e them a legal tender for the pa >
ment of debts.
, 'Now , my countrymen , on account of tU
neglect ol congress to perform this sum
dutv , wo had in the twenty-eight atntos thn
exUtrd hoforo the war , various forms o
paper money. "
l.urt tlio Trmmiry It.tnkrcipt.
k Continuing , ho explained the disaster
which followed in the "waKn of depreciate
money. When tno war opened the troasur
was bankrupt. Tlio administration of .lame
Buchanan , the lust of the democrats who ha
Just gone , lett Iho tromury bankrupt , an
congress wan compelled 10 issue trcasur
noles'in order to pay the soldiers.
"When Ibn war commenced. " ho cm
tinuod , "wo had neither money ot gold c
silver or uny oilier kind. There was tbl
paper money 'of the states. But the last aci
tha last iviso act of the democratic parli
was to establish whut they called 'the ind'i
pendent treasury law. by which it was fo
bidden thnt it should be received by miy oft
cor ft ) Uio government. That wus tli
wisest act the d mocrain over pnrformed an
about their only act , because nflcr that ni
. the purty .really did what it ought to hav
vdoao long before ceased to exist.
"tyow. ray friends , when wo mot this din
cully wo bad no monoy. The llrsl thing \ \
did was tri Issue { ( U,000.000 ) ot demand .note
They wore made payable on demand , V
issued them und they were paid out to 01
soldiers uuil enabled urf lo carry on ttio wi
tor six months , but tboy were soon o :
tinustod ; nnd wo know If wo coutlnui
to issue thin form ot paper mqnoy th
our govurumcnt would , breait down and tt
rebellion would succeed. Wo knew th
we could not par this money OIL demand , 01
. „ tbo result would bo they would codoun mo
line the revolutionary and other form
paper * mouu > v Therefore it was ml vis
that luoro be Issued what is now called ti
groonbacHs , Wo Issued United KtutesnoU
promising to pay 13 , not on demand , we tlxi
DO time. Wo really said we will pay f5 ir
time , in ay bo after this war is ov
and the" union ared. [ Great u
jlau e , | Now that was a depurlu
from the best principles ot finance. !
No man would Justify notes of that char
acter unless they were maintained by colder
or silver oxropt under the issue of the war.
Wo provided when wo mud thorn that they
would bo convertible into bonds.o re
ceived there In the payment of bond ? , and In
this wnv wo established n national currency
which onabiod us to buy millions ot the dollars
lars of our own people and carry on iho war
to the complete preservation of the union
und of our government. [ Applause. ]
.Niltlnlml Hunk Nntra.
"Now , MM , wo could not htwo circulated
thosa greenbacks If wo allowed the old state
bank circulation to have been in existence.
It would have Illlod tha channel of trade.
By the law ol finance , ns strong as the law
of Iho ten commandments , the cheaper cur
rency drives out the better currency and
iho poor currency lills the channel of circu
lation. Therefore wo declared the state
bunks should pay n tax of 10 per cent on
every note of thnt sort of circulation.
Wo know the ro ult would drive thcso
notes out of existence and wo Intended to
cut their throats. But wo did not make this
provision unlil wo had found a batter sys
tem , iind that Is , authorizing the Issue ot
national bulks , where any perAon who would
dopon 5100 ot United ijtatos bonds might
have the prlvllcgo ot issuing 53i ) In circula
tion. Wo held those bonds at security for
tbo notes. So admirable mid successful has
been that plan thit no man lives who over
lost a single iioll.ir by national bank notes.
Now they tell us they want moro
money. Kunposo the government of the
Unllod Stains should Usuo 8100,000,000 ot
note ? , whoM would they pay these notes to }
How can nny ot you got any of the
mnnov ' unless you do something or
sell something to the government ,
unless you do some work or perform sotuo
labor ) Tlio poor man who wants that money
would not got his share , but the people who
hold the clfts of the government , the con
tractors of tno government who sold It sup
plies or I'ondorait service to the government ,
cot tliq Increased value of the
njoiioy. In former times the great
est circulation of bank notes at ono
tlmo was ? JOU.OOO,000 or $ , ' 100,000,000 , an yet
today tbo last treasury statement elves the
amount at tliW,000,000 : of paper money In
iiclivo circulation. Why , one would think
that was enough. It Is moro than over ex
isted before in the history ot our country ,
and whcti wo remember that 05 per cent of
all Mie pavmonts nro made in chocks , nd
other commercial paper , It shows that that
money is only used in ordinary ways by
people for marketing " and for tbo smaller
transactions of life.
Si'curiMl by the Government.
"Every dollar of this money Is secured by
tbo government of the United States , either
by cold und silver coin or bullion , or bv the
deposit ot United Slates bonds. Let a bank
break , who rares ? That money is coed , be
cause the security Is in the hands of the
government. So with the sltver certiilcato.
There is somolimcs a question about It , but
it is bacKcd not only by silver contained
in the silver dollar , but is backed also by
the silver nnd cold behind each one.
"Here is this mass of money , the very life
blood of our system , founded upon the solid
rock of gold and silver coin and bullion , nnd
every aollur of which is safe. And now
comes the democratic party , which fur years
has done nothing but oppose the action of
tlio republican party and demands restor
ation of. bad money. That is the condition
before us. And will you , my countrymen ,
agree to it ! " fCries of "No , No. " 1
Mr. Sherman answered the constitutional
objection to the tax on state banks and
quoted tbo supreme court's decision alllrni-
uig tno constitutionality of the tax , and , con
tinuing , ho said that iho democratic proposi
tion was a dangerous one ono which threat
ened every man in iho country.
"Grovcr Cleveland , the stuffed prophet ,
in bis speech of acceptance , " said Mr. Shor-
mac , "did not say anything about it. He did
not sav whether ho stands on thai plank at
all. No , ho does not sny anything about that
platform. Ho says u great deal about what
bo has done and what he'has said , and ho is
a stuffed propnot of nts own stuflliig. " [ Pro
longed lauKhlcr. ]
Tlio Silver Onestlon.
Senator Sherman then referred to the free
silver question. Ho said , in part : "Tho
silver that is in sight , according to our bin-
tistlcs , now otnounvs-to $1,000OOJOUO , and wo
are now producing in tbo mines of the world
5185,000,000 a year , and the wild , crazy prop
osition is made that the people 'of the
United States enter into the market
und pay $1 for every Or cents worth
of all this , and all other silver
that may bo imported or thrown into our
country. That i < what free coinage of silver
moans. Tbo innvitnblo effect of that would
bo at ouce to demonetize gold and compel its
exportation and hoarding and reduce us to n
single Hilvor standard. Tne result would be
that all debts would DO cut off one-third , and
who are Iho creditors of this country )
"First of all , and in the interest of all , are
the CUO.OOO soldiers , Iholr widows or thair
orphans who hold their little pension certifi
cate. By the free coinage of silver one-third
of tliclr pensions are to bo stricken elf at ona
foil swoon. Who ore" the depositors cf
the flCOO,000OuO of money deposited in
oursaviuir.s banks today ) The poor peoplo.
Our building associations have $1,100,000,000
Invested in them. What man so moan , so
poor , so degraded , that ho will rob tbo poor
in order to save a little in paying an honest
debt )
"Nothing proposed has struck rae ns so
bard unti severe us this most infernal propo
sition to open our doors to the free put chase
of silvc.r. [ Long continued applause. !
Silver minors have no right to demand ot user
or attempt to force the government to pur
chase Iheir article at a pricn in advance of
what it Is worth in the open marltut. "
The senator said congress had gone to
extreme lengths to satisfy tbo silver men
and inntanned the bill for the purchase ot
5r > 00,00J ( ounces of silver a month. This was
bought at market price , however , and the
certificates issued upon it are as good as any
other monoy.
The senator said if the international mono.
tary conference falls to iind u solution of tnc
vexed silver question "you b'j iness men
have cot to moot this proposllion ; you have
cither then to stand up for t
sliver standard and banish our gold tc
foioign lands or do tbo other , which I nm ic
favor of , and that is to put enough silver In
the silver dollar to make it equal in value ic
tbo gold dollar. "
The .senator also spoke at some length on
the larliT and reciprocity questions , nnd ii :

Much enthusiasm was manifested at the
rally at Forest hail , Sixth and Pierce , last
evening , though the attendance was not as
largo as it would have been had the ward
club and the county conlr.it committee
known what the other was doing nnd worked
In conjunction in the matter. Many of the
southsidors had hoard of n later mooting that
is to bo bold , and took tt tor granted that
last evening's meeting had boon postponed ,
nnd wcro much surprised on passing at n
late hour to Iind n falr-sl/od crowd In at
tendance and n number of apaokors ox-
poundtng republican doctrine In a convinc
ing manner.
Mr. E. J. Cornish , In nailing the mooting
to order , said ho understood there was a
lukowiirmncss all over the country this year ,
duo probably to the Australian ballot law ,
whlen had done away , to a largo extent , with
the familiar mothbds heretofore employed In
arousing political enthusiasm , and people
were depending on their ability to influence
their friends individually In this campaign
of education. Ho had just returned homo
from Washington county , where ho found
the farmers a-.v.iko und full of enthusiasm ,
nnd believed that moro Interest was boinir
shown among the soil tillers than among the
aboriug classes in the cities ,
The speaker devoted his remarks prluci
tally to the protective tariff , showing the
: eneral prosperous condition of the country ,
and the direct interest , of tbo laboring : man
n a continuation of good times nud national
prosperity. The results of free trnda and
irotcetivo systems were compared and their
effect on labor shown ; froa trade wrecking
.ho vast inanulauturlng industries of the
aast , leaviug huge plants deserted mid tuni
ng loose u horde of penniless tramps to
cover the west , wutla protection moans tlfo
npul increase nnd devtiopmont ot those In
dustries all over the country , operated by
veil p ld , well ted mechanics , "and , " said
the speaker , "let mo tell you that high
iriced , cheerful , hopeful labor Is xtbo best
mid labor on the face of the earth. "
Democracy mid Calamity Co-.nparcil.
Ho insisted that a change could not bo
nndo from ono byatcm to the other Without
teaiiug down the industries that hud been
so carefully fostoied , und therefore dcstruc-
.Ivo lo the well being of tbo workmsmau.
in speaking of the "natural alliance" be
tween the democrats and indepsndeuts ,
which tha speaker declared to bo about as
natural an alliance as ono between a speed y
racer and a balky mule , tbo overweening
tendencv of the democrats to sav "no" to all
firogrcssivo legislation was touched upon ,
logclhor with tbo demands of the populist
platform. The original purpose of the alli-
uico men was to regulate railroad rates and
prevent trusts , and such other measures as
every honest man could subscribe to , but
they listened to the calamity howler whoa
tils mouth was open , ana had been commit
ted to the vagaries of the old jjreenoacH :
party and the fallacies ot grcouoaclttsm
under its latest guise of free aud unlimited
coinage of silver.
"There were three clas&os of free uilver-
Itcs in the national convention of the popu
lists , " said the speaker. "They wcro the
men from the silver mining states , the Hol-
lamyitcs , 'and the old greonbackers. The
people's party mon demand enual rights for
all unn special privileges for none , but that
is not wtiat.thoy bid fair to tret , and that ,1s
why that party is losing its strength and its
fair-minded members are returning to the
republican ranics , where thov will find an
honest disposition to give them all that , is
Jiut and right , as has ever been the disposi
lion of the republican party and over will be. "
Mr. E. Uoaowater was introduced , but was
suffering from a severe soreness of the throat
and was compelled to cut short his remarks.
Ho said that ho bad just returned from a
trip out through the state- and brought
cheerful tidings , as ho was just ns conlldent ,
from what be bad seen and heard , that Judge
Crounso would bo eloctcu the next
governor of Nebraska , as ho was
two years ago that prohibition
would be dofcatcd. In discussinir the
tariff , the speaker referred to tlio famous
embargoes of tbo llrst Napoleon to protect
tno French people from foreign invasion and
her industries from suffering by the sale of
English goods , and said that the 11 rst tori ft
bill of the United Slates was approved by
George Washington , and the principles there
advanced had boon fostered and strength
ened by the McKlnley bill and tbo most ex
cellent administration of President Harrison.
Unlit Up by Protection.
Numerous Instances were cited to show
the growth ot American industries that had
run foreign made goods out of the country
and were furnishing u much .better article
for munh less money. The now industries
in Nebraska , the bcot sugar and chicory
mills , were sot forth as practical examples
right hero nt homo showing what protec ; Ion
would do in developing Iho resources of a
section , and the oft-repeated democratic ns-
sortion that American tin cannot bo success
fully produced was mot witb the statement
that the Omaha flrtn of Rector & Wilholmy
has been selling carload afler carload o'f
American lin , and that it Is just as cheap
and just as good as that imported from
Wales.
It was stated that McICmloy was moro In
tensely haled In England than any olhormnn ,
and that the election of Cleveland would occa
sion n shout of joy m that country tnat had
not boon equalled since the battle of
Waterloo. The charges made regard
ing iho " "Homestead trouble were
brielly touched upon , nnd the speaker
said that , ho would In a measure grunt that
the republicans were responsible for the
wild occuVroilces In that thriving little ulty ,
as the republican principle of protection was
respoubiblo lor the great steel mills being
there , and that if it had not been for that
policy the mill would not have been there ,
and the republicans , were , therefore , respon
sible to that extent. There wus no doubt
but that It was possible to abolish factory
strlKes , and the factories with them if free
trade was to bo adopted as the policy of this
country.
Too great strike of 1SSS on the "Q" cost
more blood , moro monov , more riot and moro
inconvenience that did the one at Homestead -
stead , and it would be .just as sensible to
charge it up to the democratic party under
Cleveland as it was lo allege that tbo repub
licans were responsible for the outbreak at
Iloiiiostead.
( iru.it Kll'oris anil ( ireiit Wealth.
The populists were then given a little at
tention , and it was charged that an effort
wai being made to embroil and
embitter the ranks of toil against
men of wealth. Tha speaker held
that the reason that the accumulation of
wealth was going on at a greater rate tnnu
over bofiro wus bacauso of the application of
genius through the great Inventors of tbo
age , rcsulllnir In a concentration of capital
and tbo cheapening of products , It was
maintained tbat the only kind of wealth that
wiii dangerous was that used to tha detri
ment ot labor , aud certainly not
ttmt accumulated by the great in
ventors and reinvested in immense
plants giving employment to thousands
of worklagmen , A score of the millionaires
of the country , whose wealth uirKre uteil

The speaker as frtcd thnt Van Wyck had
nothing tn common with the laboring classes ,
nnd never hud. Ho inherited $100,000 , and
was now n half millionaire. The nopuhsts
were shedding deeftiis of tears ovcry day
over the poor mllttatmlro mlno owners ot the
silver states who hud wnlUod into that coun
try with patches on their trouser * . nnd rid

nnd marry tholr daughters to Italian counts.
"They want $ .10 per capita , " said the
speaker. " 1'or ray part , a country that won't

lon ot laws and proceedings of congress
elating lo Ihe queslion of eligibility to con
gress of u retired army oflicer. Mr. Smith
ays it has been claimed but once Intho
history of our government that under the
clause of the constitution making e&ch
house of congress the" judge of the qualifica
tions of its o vn mcinucrs tbo house of
representatives acting ulouo , had the power
to add to or change tbo qualilications of its
members. That attempt made in the Tenth
congress in the case of Barney vs McCreory
resulted in such u signal failure that It bus
never been repeated. At a result of his ex
amination Mr. Smith concludes that General
Sickles , while on the retired list of the army ,
.s ineligible to congress.

score , but they made the visitors earn their
points , and the game abounded In Interest
ing plays nud clover team work. In tackling
the teams were verv evenly matched. Both
did very creditable work und
short gains wcro the usual occurrence. In
rushing , however , the Illinois team way
outclassed their opponents , nnd they kept
thu Nebraska eleven on the defensive most
of the time. This advantage was largely
duo to their supnor woicht , which was nn
Important fao or when the play was

gain several yards by sheer force of wetsht ,

deculou In ttio Northwestera case , declaring
that two or moro roads may malto propor-
lloiuito rates to moot the through ratoa
of a competing Hue , without in the least
disturbing their loc.U rite ; , is caus
ing n good deal ot comment among railroad
men. They-nro both surprised ami gr.ill-
llud , Heretofore they hnvo besn roslr.unod
by the Ir.tofAlato Commerce commission from
meot'.ng ' Canadian compcilllcii , on iho ground
thai to do so without cutting down local
rates to u corresponding level would bo a
violation of the laws. Generally speaking ,
the local trafllo nt Iho roads , both east and
west of Chicago , n too valuable to bo sucrl-
liced for the purpose cf protecting
tlu-ough trnfllc. and , as a consequence , Iho
Canadian 1'ucillc anil us allies have for sev
eral years been able lo appropriate u nu-ge
percentage of their throtiim business Unit
has properly belonged lo the American roads.
Judge Brewer's decision changes nil this. In
effect bo tolls the American roads that they
can legally meet such competition without
changing Iheir Ioc.il rates nt all.
Chairman MU'RCly ' of the Western Freight
association will go east next week to consult
with the Now lOnclund connecllons of the
Canadian I'acllie wilh a view of bringing
about a r. slorallon of westbound freight
rates alter Ihe close of Inlto naviga-
lion. Ho made the trip several times
before aud always on the same
mission , but lltllo good came of it. He will
not go tint time as u subordinate , but with
full authority to tell the o.i&lern roads Ihoy
must advance I no rates west or liiko Ihe con
sequences. Undo rlhe now decision the lines
by the way of Chicago have it in tholr power
to administer severe punishment to tbo rate
cutters if they rotuse to come to term *
Although passenger rates from Chicago
to southwestern Missouri river points will
bo advanced November 1 , tie ! through
rates train eastern points cannot bo ad
vanced on that data. Uoprosoutatlvos of the
lines in the Central Trafllc association
will meet Monday lo check rales to the
Missouri river or. lliu basis of the advance ,
after which duo notices must bo sivon before
the rates cau bo put into elteeU This will
delay the actual" adoption of the rates until
about November 10 , aud until tint lime iho

NKW Yomc , Oct. 21. John .lay , lately
presIJont of the Civil Service commission of
Now York , has written a letter to Wayne
MacYe.igh in reply to bis recent speeches in
1'hiludolphia and New York , giving reasons
for his announcement that ho would vote for
Grover Cleveland. Mr. Jny says that both
of Mr. MacVeagh's spsocnos express aontl-
inontsvith which intelligent anil devoted
rcnubllcans and civil service reformers will
heartily ngroo. Iio falls to lliul , however , in
either of those siioeclius. grounds for beliov-
inc that the olhioal spirit tlril pervaded tlio
democratic convention at Chicago and In
spired its platform on the tariff was ono cal
culated to rciiconi and rogohcrulo the ronuo-
lic , or the special order and social Jucv
tico. And , yet , there would soum to
bo no eood reason for ignoring in this dis
cussion the principal Issue of tno tariff , the
chief question on which the democrats are
divided. .Mr , .lay Insists that , dcspito'thu
issues of gigantic Importance which demand -
mand instant nnllonal action , the tariff is
still the chief issue of thu pending pras-
idoutlal contest , unit says that its frank dis
cussion was recommended by Mr. Cleveland
lilmsoir it : his letter of accoptanco.
Mr. .lav then quotes the sentence from Mr.
Cleveland's ' letter : "Wo will rely upon the
iutnliigenco of our fellow countrymen to re
ject , the charge that a party is planning the
destruction of or injury to the American
interests , anil wo know that they cannot oo
frightened by the specter of impossiolo free
trade , " nud remarks that Mr. Cleveland
omlttod to refer to ihcall-important ; fact that
the democratic convention had spoken doll-
nitely on this point , and that a resolution in
concurrence with the views expressing oppo
site views Irid been adorned.
"That omission by Mr. Cleveland in his
letter of reference to the convention on the
tariff pliicu , " Mr. .lav continues , "Has per
haps led to a similar omission in your own
speeches , and an omission that may ho ro
d-cited us depriving us of your candid opin
ion on this leading feature of the democratic
platform , and of your reasons for approving
such a radical and revolutionary change In
our national policy. "
Mr. .lav concludes as follows : "With Mr.
Cleveland's views and actions in regard to
civil service reform , I found myself in accord ,
when I had the honor ot Herring , bv hit np-
polntinent , on the Civil Service commission of
this .state. Hut , in the tariff plunk , which hu
tiai accepted , I see great dauber to the cause
of civil service reform , for it sulntltutes thu
decision of a domocratlo convention without ,
the slightest regard to the rulings of the
constitution and the yladsotno light , of Juria-
ptudonce"
