The Inten tion was te have no speaklng, but alter the pole had been ralaed Charles Strlckler, the junior Jehn Manlier of Re publican polities, appeared. This youngster loves te mske a speech and he could net leave this opportunity pans. He had a ebalr brought out from a neighboring house, and after meuutlng It addressed an audienoeof little white and colored boys en tbe tariff' and weather, He left the chair covered with foam and aaiaklng from excite ment and beat, and his disgusted hearers Hed for fear that Turnkey Miller might have another ene et the aame kind tespring upon them. m Pele Railing at bperllng Hill.
