discoursed, too, on Wall street
aid lla frrqneuten. But In truth it may b*
■aid that Dr. Feltou'a speech as to doing Ba>

It was shown upon bis own principles that

The doctor's speech wss made np of oelf lau

Tho result is that tha Gordon man are

he fully expoacd the doctor. 11a sustained all

At noon the hotel was surrounded with a
large crowd clamoring for (Iordan in tha wild
cat manner. Already tha hall where tha
■peaking waa to occur, wss crowded, mtny
having held their mats for soma time la fear
of being crowded oub
While this wss going on without an inter-
eating little drama waa going on within tha
apartment la which Gentral Gordon
was receiving hie caller*. An old

occasion, had bagged at thoofllco to ho admit
ted to tha general's pretence.
“1 haven't seed him, hoee,” eald he, ' sense
do wth, and l knows 1 would know him."
Ilia face bore a smile of exuberant joy
and bla black conateaanoa glowed with ox-
precalvogloo. Tho crowd had heard hlx con
versation, and aa the clerk directed him to
the gcntrel, they followed. Ho ctlabod

Just hen eaether pretty lacldest occurred.

Tho two charming Utile misses captured ktya

These on the street were impatiently sailing
for him, and aa ha emerged frees tho hotel

ntlnglt impulse, every man started toward
him.
Foremost snout them was brave Ramis

seemed Inspired by the occasion. Rising in
hU still ups. aid standing in the midst of thv
almost frantic crowd, he waved bis
hands for silence, aid In riuglug tours sold:

Captain J. K. Swanson than Introduced Gener
al Gordon in o moat eloquent manner. Tho
ovation with which General Gordon was (root
ed waa a most remarkable demonstration of
the earnestness of his hearers. His whole
speech was tntcrrnpted with storms oT
applanae. At his beautiful tribute
to Hill, tho enthusiasm of tha audience was
demonstrated la applause, which lasted stv-
sral seconds, sod was again and again re-
newtd. His arraignment of Dr. Faltoa was a
master piece of oratory, and was reoeived
With tremendous applause. At his picture of
the rlo»el teens between Hqjor Bacon and Sen
ator Brown, the aodience applandod and
laughed and then toughed and applauded, till
