. In the bosom of the Comanches;. overnor Throckmorton was formally pre-sented to the multitude, over whom fell an instant hushas in resounding voice he related, retold, and explainedthe treaty made years before with Chief Esserhaby, andhow this great Indian had kept the faith and proven an in-valuable ally and instrumentahty in holding the hostileIndians in check, and the final establishment of his peroration this venerable and beloved statesmanand patriot paid a beautiful, glowing, and well-earnedtribute to Chief Esserhaby, a colossus of his tribe and the delivery of the oration by Governor Throck-morton, Chief Esserhaby was near by, mounted on thebeautiful cream-colored horse he had ridden that day inthe parade.
