McPher aon Is an extreme atand-patter and an Implacable foe of Governor Cummlna. He waa acheduled to respond to one of the toasts, preceding Governor Cummlna. When railed upon he arose with un steady logs snd clung to tha table for eupport while speaking. . He talked In a rambling and Incoherent manner. He remarked that one was not always able to choose the company he should keep. Could he have doneao, be declared, he would nave kept far away from Council Bluffa, for he always detested the town. So, too. In politico he bad no time for reforms or reformers. He thought It an outrage that so-called, self-styled Republicans should advocate . reforms that really branded them - Democrats and were at variance with traditional Republican teachings. . He Ignored the toplo that had been assigned to him. became maudlin and .unintelligible and wound tip by usurping tha function of toaatmaater, Introducing the governor himself.
