the Board submitted proposition to enlarge
the school building In Kirkwood, NE
people very decidedly voted no. Again,

Last Nights Meeting.

The meeting at City Hall last night was
indicative of success. Congressman Reed
received an ovation. 1t was some time be-
fore he was able to begin his speech, and
he finished it too soon. His address was a
model of political disquisition-calm. can
did, forcible; strong in argument and char
liable in tone. Some conception OF its
strength and grace can be formed from the
eport-necessarily imperfect-We give in
another column. 1t will De observed that
he did not discuss dead issues, studi-
ously Stunned mention of the ques-
tons that have already been determin-
ed at the bar of public opin-
ion, and confined himself TO review OF the
doings of the existing Congress and consid-
Grafton of the themes that voters are consid-
ering to-day. DR.. Loring's address was a
vigorous and eloquent discussion of nation
al issues, scholarly in diction and elegant
in deliyery-an address which every man in
the great audience felt the better for hear
ing.
The meeting was marked success and
an encouragement to the Republicans of
Portland. The interest manifested by the
people present-their quick a I'd intelligent
appreciation of the points made by the
speakers, and the warmth with which they
welcomed Mr.. Reed are cheerful omens, the
significance of which no political augur can
mistake.
