WALLA WALLA, April 18th, 1870.


EDITOR STANDARD: As you and your
readers would like to hear from the De.
mocracy of Walla Walla, l send you this
line to say, the people up here arc moving
strong for Judge Mix, the Democratic
standard bearer in this contest.
On last night, large and enthusiastic
meeting was held at the Court House, to
ratify the nomination of Judge Mix, and
the Court House was packed and crammcd,
every foot of standing room being occu.
Fed. The meeting was called to order by
Hon. W. II. Newell, who presided and in
appropriate terms introduced the various
speakers Of the evening.
Our gallant standard bearer was first in
troduced and in speech of over an hour
gave most eloquent and able exposition
of the principles at issue in the present
canvass. The wurmcst applause greeted
the speaker throughout, and as much as
his friends expected of him, his effort sur
passed the hopes of his friends. The meet
ing Was then addressed in short and telling
speeches by Messrs. Dugan, Langford,
Lasater and Wychc. Messrs. Dugan and
Lasater made very effective speeches, and
I.angford gave the people very interest.
ing account of the working of the recon-
struction measures in the south, where he
had spent several months.
The Democracy up here are fully awake,
and were never more harmonious and en-
thusiastic. Since the last election there
has been large increase in the aggregate
vote of this county, and indeed of all the
counties east of the mountains, and fully
two.thirds of the new corners are Demo-
Gratis, and it is the opinion on all hands
that Judge Mix's majority in this county
will not be less than four hundred.
The Judge is going to thoroughly can
vass the Territory, and will soon leave
home to go actively to work, and he will be
aided by able Democratic speakers in all
parts of the Territory. You may expect
ope of the warmest and most exciting can.
vases we have ever had in the Territory.
To ask no favors and give no quarter, will
be the spirit of the fight.

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 80, 1870.
An Amusing Exhibition of Bombast and
Fury.

The Gar6eldc party held grand ratif.
cation meeting in Columbia Hall, on last
Thursday evening, about one hundred per-
sous participating, after three days persist
ent drumming. Counting boys, of which
a goodly number are present whenever
the baud plays, and Democrats who were
drawn hither by a curiosity, to witness the
amusing and frantic efforts Of those who
hold official position to keep themselves
from going out, and those who do not to
get themselves in, there were about one
hundred persons present. We were dis
appointed both in the nur'ber attending
and the enthusiasm displayed, when We
consider that this was to have been the
grand rally of the campaign, and that
liberal advertising and lavish expendi-
ture Of money was made to make it as i'm
posing as possible. Cleale's battery was
brosght into requisition, but even the
booming Of cannon did not awaken the
enthusiasm that was fondly anticipated E;
the band was chartered, and played from
shutdown till far into the shades of evening,
but martial music failed to arouse any
marked degree of excitement or zeal A
boy with bell has drawn much larger
audienc, to witness puppet show, as many
of our citizens eau testify.
The first speaker of the evening was
Secretary Scott, who made speech in
good old sledge-hdmmer style, in which
the word loir' was rounded as smoothly
as molasses from jug, and the cursing of
Copperheads was fully as fierce as 81 900
greenback Office would justify.
The Chairman anno~uced that the dele.
gates to the Garfe.de Convention should
have the first "go' at public speaking, to
"give an account Of their stewardship"
as he expressed it, and this gave Brad
shaw, of unenviable uotoriety," chance.
Oar space is too valuable to give even a
synopsis Of this trickster's harrangue
We will simply say that it was character
istic Of the man-vindictive enough to
suit Garfelde himself, and eviuced enough
zeal to entitle him to tie Office which is
the goal of his ambition, and which the
poor dupe cannot realize it is distined he
never shall fill.
Loud calls here ensued for Hill Harmon,
but Hill appeared but for moment, looked
confused and sat down. The will was
good, but the flesh was weak The only
thing Hill could do he chcerfully did, and
that was, to furni-h pitcher of water
and a tun'bler, and afford the speakers con-
xenieDt intervals to collect their ideas by
going through the pantomime of drinking
water Sensible Hill. Public benefac.

at which entertainment Mr.. Pauncefort
will give select readings from Dickens.
The Band will enliven the occasion with
music, and the evening will close with a
dance.
