It was held at the court house and there was an overflow meet ing on Fayetteville street, near the court house. The star speak er was James II. Fou, who made one of the most remarkable speeches of his life, repeating part of it at the outdoor meeting. II spoke in the plainest terms, about the city administration's failure and fraud and said it was m longer a question of who was going, to be elected, but who w as to go to the penitentiary. Speak ing about the mutilation of the records in the city hall, he said all the evidence was that the crime was of a domestic charac ter. He ridiculed, amid roars of laughter the bogus arrest of Van Gdi, saying this was a grand stand play by the administration. IU pronounced the adm'nistia tKn fools and liars and gave sol emn warning of the necessity of watching the halkit boxes all day Tuesday as any one of Ave fraud might be perpetrated. Other speakers were Alfred A. Thompson, Joseph G. Brown and J. Wiliara Bailey. Excitement was at white heat daring the speaking. One ad ministration follower attempted to interrupt Ton during the street speaking and called him a liar, lou told; him to come up on the stand and he would whip him. The man was taken away, mak ing threats to do Pou next day.
