WHAT HE WILL SAY.

our friends who are not engaged at our
County Convention, to 60 to Columbia
Hall to-day and listen to Garfelde.
What if you do swell the number of his
hearers and give his friends chance to
brag over his big attendance? We can
afford to let them crow over such tri-
fle, because our turn will come after
election. We gave up Columbia Hall
to the Garfelde Committee so that our
friends might have this chance to hear
our Felukeus. We were the more anx-
ious to secure them this opportunity, as
it is morally certain Felukeus will never
again appear before them as the Great
Apologist.
Felukeus will clear his throat, make
a profound bow while the petty officials
go through the farce of popular ap-
plause, strike an attitude (imitated from
one of the pictured examples in the
book of elocution he studieD and then
begin. Pity, friends, the poor old
throat, worn out in your service, to
which he will plaintivcly allude. Don't
be rude and laugh at him when he gets
off his usual stale appeal to your SYM
pathies. Listen patiently to his ex-
cuses for sins of omission such as, that
he got the Capitol and Penitentiary
bills before the Committee, but was
taken sick at the critical moment when
one blast from his bugle horn," &C.; or
that he would have presented the
Legislative memorials to Congress if
Secretary Clements had only" SC. OF
that the Port Townsend Custom-house
would have been built had not Mike
Drew" &c; and study the faces Of
your Garfelde neighbors to see how
they swallow his lies as toad does
June bugs, without winking. Hear his
argument on the tariff question cut out
from published speeches Of Henry Clay,
and admire the brass with which he
presents them as his own views. We
do not think he will brag about his eff
forts in favor of the Northern Pacific
Railroad this time, or tell of his WELD
ing the fiddle bow in Jay Cookies office
he played out that tune last election,
and on the upper Columbia this year he
has said too much about the "mon-
strous monopoly" Should he mention
the Railroad at all, keep your ears open
to learn if possible why he sold out the
interest of his client, Ben Holiday, to
the corporation he has lately denounced.
Possibly he may tell you.
It is possible also that he may defend
himself against the charge we have
already made that he caused the name
of q bereaved widow, whose noble son
was slain while fighting against Gar
fielde's former friends during the late
war, to be stricken from the pension
rolls, out of hostility to near relative
of that sorrowing mother. That rela-
tive is in the country, and San Juan
island is still disputed territory and cas-
lily accessible. Keepyour countenances
if possible while he steals the credit due
Senator Corbett and Congressman Sla-
ter Of Oregon, and boasts of his success
in getting an appropriation of $50, 600
for the improvement of the Upper Col
umbia-Selucius has got to claim some-
thing, and without that, the $40, 900,
Beach's band fund, would be his only
trump card-it is not the first time he
has made the pot when others held the
cards. Be sure and listen to his pero-
ration on national issues. On them he
dilates with gushing sweetness. They
are good lodges to tickle Garieldian
ears. He may not ring the changes ON
that " church-going bell," for rings are
just now unpopular, and he may even
ignore that " isothermal line" upon
which he has strung his strains of elo-
quence like washerwoman her linen,
as line is suggestive of his latter end.
There are few other things he will say,
but we must be excused from publish
ing his whole speech, because we want
to leave something for him to say that
may claim shadow Of originality. Go
and hear his harrangue, it will make
votes for our honest, straightforward
candidate, Judge McFadden.
