THE ADVERTISER, It. V. FUIINAS. EDITOR. THURSDAY MORNING, HUT. 28,1359. Public Speaking. On Saturday last Mr. Daily the "Jackass of Liberty" and Gen. Experi ence Esta brook met in discussion in this city, agreeably to appointment. The General led oil', commencing at the "year one" disturbing the peaceful slumbers of all the dead issues from that antiquated .date up to the inauguaration of "Jimmy J3uchanan," but no faktheh. He bore aloft the "glorious old Democratic party" ' all through that tedious journey; claiming it as the exalted instrument by which had been achieved all the blessings, lib erties and advantages tbat we as an Am erican people enjoy! We confess when we hear such speeches and we have lis tened to several of late, some of which came from those whose political antece dents are the same as ours that our "risibilities" are operated upon, and we are slow to believe therS was never an "nlrl WKinr nort v" that" thnt hnnnrorl and cherished political association never ac- complished anything for the good of the country ; that such spirits as Clay, Web ster, and a host more such, never lived ; that the impress of their genius, talent and statesmanship is not left upon our in stitutions ; that the historian has failed to appropriate a page that future genera tions might know that such men "moved, lived and had a being !" We are far from speaking disparagingly of the old Democratic party." We love and honor " it for the good it has done and it has done much but it has not done all, and to make exclusive claims for it, is simply all buncombe. But we arc getting off the subject. The General said nothing applicable to the day, country and age in which we . live, or the circumstances which particu larly surround us; orquestious of policy in which we in Nebraska are vitally inter ested. The people in Nebraska like something for "home consumption." The style therefore of the General's speech which would have been a good one for a Presidential campaign was, we thought and we heard many others so express themselves not adapted to the people and times. Mr. Daily, in his usual happy style, followed the General with a withering and scathing speech, in which he "brayed" to some purpose. He faced the music; talked about matters in which the people of Nebraska are interested ; dealt with the questions of the day; and the people manifested their appreciation of the speech by repeated and enthusiastic cheering. Judge Holly, of Nebraska City, came to . the rescue of Gen. Estabrook, and re plied to Mr. DailjT. The General and his friends have long since "knocked under" to Mr. Daily's superior efforts on the stump, and feel that to let the two candidates fight the battle alone, an over . whelming defeat only awaits Gen. Esta brook. It was therefore necessary that assistance should be rendered on th's oc casion. Judge Holly is an able debater, a fluent speaker, and a most excellent man, but he don't hold the cards this deal! He is a. life-long Democrat, but had the . boldness and manliness on this occasion to openly avow himself in opposition to the present Administration; in opposition to the unfair and partial distribution of fa vors heretofore bestowed by general gov ernment upon the Territory of Nebraska; in opposition to party organizations in Nebraska, and yet prcfered Estabrook to Daily ! It was easily to be seen that the Judge felt sensibly the embarrassed posi tion circumstances have forced him to oc cupy. Judge Holly ought to have been the nominee of the Plattsmouth Conven . tion, and we hope there is yet good in store for him. It was cheering to Daily's friends to know that the principal and as sistant both could not floor him. He came out as he has at every appointment thus far victorious. . In the evening, Judge Kinney of Ne braska City, D. L. McGary and Col. Nixon of this place, held forth at the Masonic Hall. We did not hear them, but are informed the speeches were of the usual antiquated and eulogistic style. The spirits of Jefferson, Monroe, and other ancient worthies, were "rapped" up; and the American eagle stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, with its "hprid hid in the thunder's home!" Poor bird ! It must feel "soporific." Let us hare a Fair Fight. " We like a fair, open, manly fight; there is always something noble about such a contest. But this biting, gouging, guerilla mode of warfare has nothing ".about it to be admired by an intelligent, high-toned class of people. Our readers know we have announced ourself as not supporting Mr. Daily on political grounds, and yet, when we see an attempt to mis represent him, we shall take occasion to defend him. It is asserted that Mr. Daily, while a . . . v iiiu. 4 vk luu w v .. , in favor of allowing negroes to testify ! '.This is a -"base fabrication." He did not so vote ; had no opportunity to do so ; did not offer such an amendment to the cod? ; did not ejun his mouth in the House upon that subject: The qv est ion va$ not liforc the House! He did, how- ever, wui lijuy uii.vi- iwivimu or had not heard read the code, demand that it should be, like all other bills, read in the House before being put upon its passage. Xese statements we make and defy their" contradiciion. We do no: make the denial because we think the fact of so voting or acting with proper restrictions, of course a crime alarming ly heinous; tut to show to what an ex tent the opponents of Mr. Daily are go ing; resorting to downright falsehoods; circulating reports without any CXmdation whatever. This "rip-roaring" about "nigger tes timony" is all "poppy," and only exhibits an unpardonable degree of ignorance on the part of those who are continually "harping" about it. There is scarce a suave state even, in the Union, where ne-" groes are not allowed to testify; they testify across the river here in Missouri. No sane man of course contends that the testimony of a llubber-lipped, thick skulled, long-heeled, woolty-headtd Ethi opian should be placed in the scales, en titled to equal weight with that of a white man! When negro testimony is taken, it is simply taken for what it is worth, and nothing more. A horse's or dog's testi mony is good as far as it goes, and there are actually" instances on record where the instinct of both Las been rec eived as convincing testimony. But we'll not pursue this question, for we inherently hate a nigger, and don't like to talk or write about them. Again, the friends of the Administra tion charge Mr. Daily with being in favor of "Congressional interference." While we knew the Republican platform of Ne braska contains that odious doctrine, we are free to say Mr. Daily individually has always, at least since our acquaintance with him, been in favor of "Popular Sover eignty" Douglas Popular Sovereignty. He recognizes the poiccr of Congress over the Territories. The simple question of power is one in regard to which there is but little if any difference of opinion among men of all parties. The great question before the American people is the policy or jus tice in Congress exercising that power. Mr. Daily is epposed to the exercise of Congressional power, and in favor of the people of the Territories regulating all their domestic affairs in their own way. We think this latter charge comes witl a peculiarly bad grace from Administra. tion Democrats men who are so out cf humor because the non-intervention doc trine was made a plank in the Platts moutn riatiorm. "inrow good ecgs, boys!" Another Fabrication A Base Lie I Up North of the Platte the opponents of Mr. Daily many of whom were loud in praising him last winter, because of his opposition to South Platte annexation are now busily circulating reports that he favored that movement and voted for it in the South Platte Convention in this city, on the 5th of January ! Men must cer tainly have lost all hopes of success in an honorable race, when they resort to such base falsehoods with which to bolster up their rapidly decreasing prospects. Now the facts in relation to Mr. Daily's course on the South Platte annexation scheme, are briefly as follows, and no gentleman, even Mr. Daily's bitterest opponent or enemy, dare say to the contrary. Mr. Daily, as is well known in this section of the country, was, from first to last, very bitterly opposed to South Platte Nebraska annexation to Kansas made a number of speeches against the move ment, and wrote a letter which was pub lished in the Advertiser of December 23d, 1S-5S. The South Platte Convention, which assembled in this city on the 5th of January, was called for the purpose of ascertaining the views or wishes of the people South of Platte in regard to the annexation proposition ; it was participat ed in by men both for and against the measure. Mr. Daily was present as a Delegate from Nemaha County, and made before that Convention, what was admitted by even the warmest friends of annexation, the strongest speech against annexation, made by any one during the agitation of that measure. The Delegates from Nemaha were, by the meeting at which they were appoint ed, instructed to vote for annexation. Mr. Daily, like a man of honor and prin ciple, showed his willingness to comply with the expressed wishes of his consti tuency, and under the instructions voted for annexation, but even then did so un der protest ; and after the vote was taken, was again called out, and again spoke in strong terms in opposition to an nexation. These, we repeat, are the facts; and if Mr. Estabrook's friends have no other hope of success than by basely misrepre senting Mr. Daily, they surely conclude their case a desperate one. The voters of Nebraska are too well posted ; too in telligent ; too honorable and high-minded to be imposed upon in that kind of style. Until quite recently we have felt somewhat indifferent as to the result of the Delegate contest, as is well known. But we frankly confess when we see such means used to defeat a candidate as are being brought into requisition to defeat Daily, we feel like "pitching in." We hate a tneern act, let it corse from where it iiny. It is gratifying however, to Mr. Daily's friends, to 'know that the course hio enemies pursue towards him is mak ing many friends for Liui. "Since'wriung the above we have rec eived the Omaha Nebraskian of the 24th, which contains near a column of editorial charging Mr. Daily with being present at the Brownville Convention, and in . favor of, and voting for, and sustaining the annexation movement. The same paper contains a letter from Gen. Estabrook ad dressed to Capt: Mackey, a prominent member of the Annexation Convention in this city, enquiring as to the truth of the charge against Mr. Daily. Capt. Mackey replies by saying : "I have the honor to state that Hon. S. G. Daily was a mem ber of that Convention, and that he sus tained its measures by his vote;" and, speaking further, this Capt. Mackey says: "Its measures were all adopted unanimously, and the vote of Nemaha County was cast in favor of annexation Ly S. G. Daily, R. W. Furnas, and others." The Ntbraskian says : "Keep it be fore the peojle that Samuel G. Daily, the Republican candidate for Congress, was a prominent member of the Brownville Convention in January last, having for its object the dismemberment of this Terri tory !" How do some of our conscientious sup porters of Mr. Estabrook. who were pre sent at the Brownville Convention, and were eye witnesses of the course pursued by Mr. Daily relative to annexation, like this high-toned, honorable mode of elec tioneering ? Now Capt. Mackey knows that Mr. Daily opposed annexation, for he, him self, as a friend of annexation, made a reply in opposition to Mr. Daily's opposi tion speech. The editor of the Ntbraskian knows Mr. Daily opposed the annexation scheme and so noticed in his paper at the time. He knows that Mr. Daily was a friend to Omaha and North Platte in that Conven tion and throughout the agitation of that question; and now he villainously smites the hand that Vendcred him aid. This, however, is nothing new for. that man ; he is in the habit of so doing. If we can find space in the Advertiser next week, we will copy the Ncbraskiah's article and Capt. Mackey's letter, that the people in this county, who are know ing to all the facts as to Mr. Daily's con nection with the South Platte Convention in this city, may see to what base means Estabrook's friends are resorting to car ry his election. 'The Jack Ass of Liberty." . A correspondent of the Omaha Repub lican calls Gen. Thayer the "War Horse of Freedom," and the Ntbraskian desig nates Mr. Daily as the "Jack Ass of Li berty." Well, so be it. The Whigs, once upon a time it will be recollected, when "Log Cabin" and "Hard Cider" were derisively used against them, popu larized those "ancient and honorable, in stitutions, and used them as implements of warfare with which they effectually slew their enemy. Cuvier says of the family A sinus, of the genus Equus in other words the ass "is characterized for its patience, sobriety, hardy constitution, endurance and the service which it ren ders the poor !" The Jack Ass is further characterized by his "long head, ears, and loud bray." Daily has shown him self to be "long-headed" surely; an ear sufficiently capacious to catch all that the numerous opponents, "howling upon his track," may say of, or about him ; and a bray of sufficient calibre to most effectu ally cope with their combined efforts against him. lie has ever been a "friend to the poor," and his powers of "endur ance," and "hardy constitution," have successfully "laid upon the shelf" his op ponent Gen. Estabrook, who early in the canvass cried out "help or I sink." A Xcw Candidate for Delegate- We learn that M. IV. Stowell, of Peru, in this county, is out as a candidate for Delegate to Congress. By what in fluences he was brought out, or what is his hobby, we are unable to say. This we know, however, that in consequence of a personal difficulty between Mr. Stowell and Mr. Daily, the former is very bitterly opposed to the latter. So far as our ac quaintance extends with Mr. Stowell, we have found him to be an excellent kind of man in every respect ; perhaps, going to extremes in his prejudices. He cer tainly has no Congressional aspirations, and all he desires, or can expect, is to take a few votes away from Daily. He may, in the precinct in this county in which he and Mr. Daily both reside, get some half dozen votes; no more. Many of his fellow citizens among whom are Mr. Daily's friends would willingly vote for him for almost any reasonoble position he might ask, but could not be induced to vote for him now, knowing the object he has in running. Mr. Stowell we understand is North of the Platte, running as a Temperance can didate. We know Mr, S. to be a consis tent, devoted friend of temperance, and hope he may be kindly treated 'up north;' see the folly of his course before the elec tion, and come home and vote for his neighbor Mr. Daily. Daily's Prospects. We have the most cheering reports of Mr. Daily's prospects, frcm almost every portion of the Territory. He makes friends wherever he goes and is just as certain to get a majority cf the votes in Nebraska as that the election will take place. What Would He think or It? "The groat point made ty Senator Douglas in his memorable canvass cf Illi nois last fallwas that he was supporting the regular nominees, duly made in Dem ocratic Convention. This was the strong point made by the honorable Senator to those, who, exhibiting more zeal than dis cretion, attempted to read" him out of the party. He showed his party fealty by yielding a loyal and earnest support to the decisions of his Democratic brethren of his own Stated The Brownville Ad vertiser has not unfrequently spoken in the most complimentary terms of Senator Douglas. Indeed in its last issue, allud ing to that Senator's recent paper on Popular Sovereignty, the Advertiser says: "It is decidedly the strongest paper ever produced by any statesman in any age." What would that honorable Senator think if he knew that the Brownville Advertiser was doing its utmost to -defeat his friend, the regular nominee of the united and entire Democracy of Nebraska ? What would the Little Giant say? . Mr. Douglas, as is well known, ranks among the ablest champions of Popular Sovereignty. The Brownville Advertiser has hitherto possessed great regard for that principle, and indeed so has the People's Press of this city. What would the Little Giant think that a hitherto pro fessed friend, through an influential jour nal, was attempting to throttle his "great principle," when first it came before the people of Nebraska for adoption or re jection ? What would he think if he knew that it was compelkd to yield to a bitter and intensified localism and sectionalism ? It is not our purpose to denounce the Advertiser for the course it takes. It has a hard enough road to travel in all con science. We will not scatter thorns in its path. We only throw out these re flections for its calmer, better moments, when that journal is entirely untrammelled and uninfluenced by any 'considerations' of whatever kind." Neb. Cty News. Did the "head and front" of the Demo cratic part)7 President Buchanan, and those who obeyed his "wink and nod" sustain that great man, Mr. Douglas, in his 'strong point V Did they not like 'blood hounds' 'howl upon the track' of Senator Douglas endeavouring to 'throttle his principle' and him too? Were not the very men in Nebraska, who sanctioned every throttling effort of Mr. Douglas' bitterest enemies Administration Dem ocrats now the main supporters of Gen. Estabrook? Has not every effort to ex emplify 'Mr. Douglas great principle' in Nebraska been throttled by these very- men, who, to-day, are denouncing the course of the Brownville Advertiser1. Are not the powers, we are urged to curry favors with, by electing Gen. Esta brook, now to-day denouncing 'Mr. Douglas' recent paper on Popular Sove reignty !' Let us have 'the papers.' The Washington Constitution the Ad ministration organ no longer ago than the 27th ult., denounces Mr. Douglas' 'late paper' in the bitterest terms. Mr. Buchanan's State organ, the Pcnn sylvanian, speaks thus: "It seems that the Illinois Senator has published a lengthy article, false in its history and vicious in its intentions, on the territorial question, in the intensest of all Black Republican Periodicals, Har per's Monthly Magazine. This periodi cal is rabidly anti-Democratic, so much so that it is not to be presumed than an Essay of a truly Democratic character would be permitted to find a place in its columns. Judge Douglas has, therefore, chosen a ft organ for the promulgation of his heretical opinions. "There is not in the whole land a mere busy, fussy, intriguing, anxious seeker af ter the Presidential office than Judge Douglas. His game is a disgusting one, and the country is becoming tired of the pertinacious and shameless solicitations of himself and the class of mercenary men who follow his fortunes like a Swiss guard for pay, present and prospective. It can not be but that the people will turn their backs indignantly, and with a sense of loathing on the entire pack." The Louisville Courier another journal that "shows his party fealty by yielding a loyal support to the decisions of his Dem ocratic brethren," in refering to the arti cle the Brownville Advertiser was pleased to style as "decidedly the strongest paper ever produced by any statesman," says: "Squatter Sovereignty will hereafter usurp the place of love-sick stories and sectional poetry. If, however, if squatter sovereignty is all that the South has gained by the Nebraska-Kansas act, then we have been greatly deceived, and our people have been most shamefully treated. Is it pos sible that for the establishment of this silly dogma the statesmen of the South have labored month after month and year after year ? If we concede squatter sovereignty in a Territory, we have enacted, beyond all cavil or dispute, a most effectual abo lition measure." . We had really hoped to escape being compelled to refer to the "skism" exist ing between Administration and Douglas Democrats. Our "voice has been for peace;" but we are unwilling to remain silent, while the opposition preach "peace! peace ! !" and practice, war ! We hope our charitable and good na tured friend of the News, who is disposed "not to scatter thorns" in our path, will not let the "Little Giant" know that the Brownville Advertiser is "attempting to throttle his great principle!" . A knowl edge cf the fact might influence him to abandon its advocacy. We commence to-day the publication of Senator Douglas' great paper,' Its length prevents us givibg our readers the whole of it in one paper. "We speak for it a careful and impartial perusal. Hew about that "Estabrook Demon stration" Tuesday night last ? Run rather late, didn't you, gents? Take things tool, and "don't fret the cattle 1" Territorial Asrlcultnral Fair. Last week we attended the First Ter ritorial Agricultural and Mechanical Fair at Nebraska. The result of this, not only the first Nebraska Territorial Fair, but the first Territorial Fair ever held in the United States, was most gratifying. It was a perfect success, when we take every thin into consideration. The tiVes are hard and many at a distance felt that they could not incur the expense of attending. The regular Steamboat Packets were all out of order one sunk, and the other fast on a sand bar and going to and fro in that way cut off; we are in the midst of election excitement, and everybody thinking and talking politics. Taking everything into consideration, we repeat, the result was all the most sanguine friends of the enterprise could expect. We met many in attendance from the counties of Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe, Cass, Johnson, Sarpy, Douglas and Wash ington. There were others no doubt from other counties. We were glad to meet so many representatives of the press, viz RoBEnTSOJf-of the Ntbraskian, Webster of the Repullican, Irish of the Press Reynolds of the News and Giles of the Sentinel. The exhibition of Stock, Farm Pro ducts, Mechanism, Works of Art, &,c. were creditable indeed. Of course there was not that variety to be found in the county or State Fair in the States. Wha there was, however, was unsurpassed any where. The attendance on the last two days especially, was large, embracing the Politician, Farmer, Mechanic, Artizan Professional men of every variety al 0 0 classes were there, from the Chief Exec utive to the humblest citizen ; all enjoyed themselves and felt that it was 'good to be here.' . The address, by Secretary Morton was excellent and appropriate, and was listened to attentively by hundreds of his fellow citizens. It, together with the Premium List will be published in due time. Not Ashamed. The Ntbraskian complains that since we have announced our intention to sup port Daily, the Advertiser has not been received in exchange at that office, and wishes to known if we are so ashamed o our course that we no longer exchange with our old friends ! No, Rob, we are not in the leas ashamed of our course in this Delegate matter: no sir. We believe we are right; and further, believe that a very large majority of the people in this Territory will agre e with us in our position. As to your not receiving the Advertiser in exchange ; we know not how how that happens , it is sent you regularly. We have on two occasions since the opening of the campaign, because of the demand for our paper, been compelled to cut oft cur exchanges oit of the Territory. We never fail to surply our Territorial ex changes however. "We hope Robertson you may receive the Advertiser regularly hereafter, and that it may have an influ ence upon you for good. Getting Desperate. We understand the friends of Esta brook have become so much alarmed that they are importing speakers from Iowa If they will be content with speakers and not import voters, there will be no very loud complaining. But, querry ! Don't it look as though the chances of success are thought to be slim? It is said one of these imported speakers will visit this region. We know Iowa feels a great interest in the success of Gen. Estabrook Cause why ? The Rail Road interests of Iowa and NORTHERN Nebraska are identical. Nothing local in this election ! ! No, no; nothing of the kind. Some people's eyes will be opened one of these days when iVs too late. How About It ! We see the candidates for the Leis Iature this year in this county are dis posed to 'slip out' of 'addressing the people.' We hope they will not fail to let their 'fellow citizens' know how they stand on the Hartford Convention, the Alien and Sedition Law, United States Bank and all such 'living' questions in which the people of Nebraska are interested ! You should say nothing about whether you are in favor of, or against the passage of an act authorizing the convening cf a Con stitutional Convention in Nebraska, and other matters in which Nebraskians are not interested ! A Good Count) for Votes. We hear it intimated that Gen. Esta brook will get four hundred majority in Hall county west some 200 miles and the Lord only knows how many in L'Eau qui court Ft. Randall ! ! Come, gentle men, lake part ot that back. You will undoubtedly need that many votes from such outside places ; but hadn't you better distribute a little more? We'll bet two or three dollars and a half that there are not two hundred votes in both those counties all told. "Go slow." Break Him Down. The opponents of Mr. Daily finding that he is, on the stump, slaying General Estabrook,""and making for himself hosts of friends wherever he goes, are new in for a new game, and say "Lit us break Daily down sow him vp !" Well may be thai game will win ; but whorever it has been tried thus far, Daily gctj the benefit of the operation ! Bally Crniahs for Estabrook thickens. We gather from our exchanges the following items in regard to the Con gressional Canvass, iii the Northern por tion of the Territory. A letter from Ft. Calhoun, of Sept. 7th, says: "Our gallant leader S. G. Daily has this afternoon achieved a glorious victory over Gen. Estabrook, commander-in-chief of the Democratic forces in this Terri tory. The meeting was composed of a large and respectable gathering of the citizens of this county, who met by the appointment of Mr. Daily, to which Mr. Estabrook was invited with the privilege of replying. The General, like many other generals before him, evidently under estimated the strength of his antagonist, but before Mr. Daily had closed his open ing remarks, it was evident to all, the i Gen. regretted having heard of this ap pointment; and he certainly is not a pru dent Gen. if he does not keep out of the ranc of his antagonist's batteries during the remainder of the campaign. Mr. Daily has, in this debate, sustain ed himself nobly. His admirable tact in debate, and inexhaustible knowledge of the politics of our country, and especially of the delinquencies cf the democratic party, enables him to pour broadsides into his antagonist with telling etiect. Tekama, Sept. 9th. "A discussion took place here this afternoon between Gen, Estabrook and Mr. Daily. Nearly every voter in the precinct was present The Daily men are firm and hopeful." Florence, Sept. 9ih. "The school house in DeScto was well filled yesterday p. 5i., to listen to the discussion between Mr. Daily and Gen. Estabrook. The Gen. had the first half hour in which he made sundry stale charges of abolitionism against the Republican any. He then proceeded to show a clean democratic re cord from the time cf Washington ad ministration to that of Buchanan's. He touched carefully upon Pierce and old Buck, they being so immaculate as to need none of his praise. The Gen. did well in dividing the live issues those in which the country and the world are interested, from those in which the democratic party are interested. The Gen. closed without the least manifestation of enthusiasm by the audience, and Mr. Daily then pro ceeded in strong and forcible language to exhibit the modern democratic party in contrast with the one of former days, and as he portrayed the corruption, the elec tion frauds, the sale of the party body and soul to the slave power, the audience could no longet keep quite, but give their approval in repeated cheers and so thro' the whole discussion the people of DeSoto gave unmistakable evidence that they are for freedom. The charges of abolition ism and sectionalism made against Mr. Daily fell harmless ; and the more people become acquainted with him the more they feel that he is a power; and the general's affinities with the President and cabinet will not save him from defeat in October as he is Daily becoming better assured.- The people north and south cf the Platte will not swallow modern de mocracy." Fr emost, Sept. 10. "The claims of Mr. Daily were brought before the people, to which they all gave one general huzza and response, by saying "we intend to hear of Mr. Daily being seen Daily 'at Washington during the next session of Congress." Fontenelle was indeed a grand affair, and all seemed elated with the belief that Mr. Daily would be their next Repre sentative. "St. Helena, CedarCo., Sept. 14th. We had a fine meeting here to-day. Mr. Daily, our talented and energetic candi date for Delegate in Congress made a powerful speech. Set down Cedar County a large majority for Daily at the next election. "Po.vca, Dixon Co., Sept. 16th. A large number of the citzensof this county turned out to near Mr. Daily, our candi date for Congress. He spoke eloquently and forcibly. We are satisfied here that he is just the man for us. Speeches were also made by Collier, of Burt, Paddock of Washington, and Taffe, Warner am James, of Dakota county." "Decatur, JJurt Co., Sept. 19. Our candidate, Hon. S. G. Daily, arrived here on Saturday afternoon, returning from his tour north of the Reserve. In the evening a large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the warehouse cf Welch &. Stevens.
