The audience was an intelligent one u uaimwna eulogy

There was a noticeable lack of farm
ers and country people generally but
this is said to have been due to a lack
of proper advertising not lack of de
sire to hear an eloquent enunciation of
republican doctrine The ladies were
out in force and they composed probr
ably one third of the audience and
their presence added much to the gen
eral appearance of the assemblage
The remaining two thirds of the audi j
ence were McKinley and Bryan men
the latter turning out in large numbers
but owing to a misunderstanding they
did not attend in a body as originally
intended

after a couple of seleotions the chair-

introduced the orator of the evening
Mr Caldwell is a goodlooking man and
a fairly eloquent talker With bis
long blac coat aud quiet expression
of countenance he might easily be mis
taken for a minister until you heard
his talk He has a habit of shaking
his head when talking which is decid

Here came a part of his ppeech that
received the condemnation of all who
heard it Although he did not say it
he tried to leave the impression that
silver is redeemable in old He en
tered ubon the grandfloquent when he
he dramatically wavedhis arms in the
air and said Tbe lver dollar is in
a better position ihi the Christian
for it knows that its Redeemer liveth
and is upon tbecaTtJfr After all of
this it was not farpnsing for him to
