Before the hour set for the beginning of the evening’s program the building was filled to itfi capacity, and many others came later who could not gain admittance and congregated outside to hear the music and speaking. < The recently organized Democratic hand of eleven pieces was present and rendered several selections to the delight of everyone present. Hon. E. P. Honan delivered the speech of the evening and was loudly applauded numerous times upon some telling remark. Mr. Honan is an orator of ability, a keen and alert student of governmental facts, and expresses his facts in a manner impressive to his hearers. The Democratic administration has passed a great many measures of incalculable benefit to the American people, and Mr. Honan made a most noteworthy effort to acquaint his audience with these measures and their relation to our everyday life.
