first place, it introduced the \u201cman from Nebras- ka\u201d to the citizens of the commercial metropolis of Canada; in the second, it showed that he was a man of many parts, that he was equally as eloquent in the pupit of the church as on the political rostrum; in the third, it demonstrated most effectually that he could talk on the deep things appertaining to the spiritual life of man with as great a power and with as attractive an eloquence as he commands when speaking on the political and economic questions of the day.Mr.Kryan, during hls stay of two (Photo by Gordon, St.Catherine street

\u201cThe Signs of the Times.\u201d In the last-named address he took up points of the great political system which prevails in the United States, and added that he denied that one man\u2019s
