The entrance of Bux ton and Simmons to the hall was greeted by perfect storms of applause. Mr. Buxton made a fine im pression on our people and Burke will roll up a big major ity for him.

Mr. Simmons touched on the threatened attack on our amendment by the Republicans, and declared that he would de fend the amendment anywhere, in any court, as well as the men who helped to ratify it. He then discussed the emperial istic policy and tendency to wards colonialism of the Re publican party, and wound up with trusts and the remedy of fered by the Damocratic party for the evils the people suffer from them.
