The fiirst iintrod'uction made was Joihm V. Sheehan, wto had Just rcturned from the Chicago convention. He spoke of that cona-ention as being mie al tJi'S greatest gather'mgs ever sveefn in t.h'js country, and he doubted if the iike would ever be Been agtiin. He feit Bure fcbat the enthusiasm there created would take the ticket of its choiee thrwigh to victory. The venerable Ex-Gov. Felch then spoke a tew wopds oï encouragemeni to the boys. The next speaker was Prosecuting Attorney Leluman. WÈem about half way through hfc speech tlie fiireworks coinmenced going off, and though the speaker increased Wis lung power fco its fullest extent lie wa-sn't quiite equal to the emergency.
