Kelley Speech Electrifies Illinois House in Farm vs Lawyers Clash
The Illinois House witnessed a dramatic debate over abolishing the grand jury system. Fog Horn Kelley, a farmer and rising orator, addressed the chair after a long session, delivering pointed satire toward lawyers and emphasizing farmer interests. He poured water to steady his voice, drew a standing audience, and halted without a grand peroration, leaving a stunned chamber and lingering echoes. Additionally, notices from San Francisco report King Kalakaua of Hawaii dying of kidney disease and the royal funeral plans awaiting arrangements.
