among other things In aifording al rain
between New York and Sc

stzong's war record. and on the same
ground attacked the record of Mr..
Voorhees' father. some Of the amusing
hits In this speech were recefved with
shonts Of laughter, and IL served to put
Me audience In q better humor than Il
had before been.
o. n HOPKINS,
Of Colfax, editor Of the Paionse Ga
ssffs. was the next speaker. He consid-
bred this the prondest moment of his
life. He had not been old enough at
he time of the war 20 fight for his
souutry, rs his old father bad done, but
be was now here 10 stand With his old
father ON this platform TO fight for the
party. He referred TO Mr..
Voorhees, as his friend. bat declared
hat he believed him 10 DO insiacere on
he question Of forfeiture. He himself
vas opposed TO forfeiture, as the people
II Eastern Washington must have
'ailroad nc all hszsrds. The speaker
hen paid some attention 90 the female
mirage question. and arraigned the
Territorial Democracy for It's plank
concerning woman jurors.

mos, as he had lately occupied = differ
mt position than that which King
soanty Republicans thought correct
,ut, rs In years past he had stood

rice. He referred 10 the length of Re
publican rule in the Territory aud to

yiven TO King county, claiming that
now the Republicans of that county
should repay their debt by giving Arm
strong a hearty support. He referred
70 MIR. Voorhees, aud to Mr.. Voorhees,
'aiher In quite uncomplimentary terms.
Major Armstrong. he declared, was not
he railroad candidate before the Con
Fention Of September 4th. He brad.
shaw himself was the railroad oandi
late. and be didn't get the nomina-
ton.
Mn. >. G. HArNEs

rs was that Of admission TO the Union.
10 was as sure as future event could
be that Blaine would be elected Presi-
dent, aud that both branches of the
next Congress would be Republican.
The Territory of Washington could not
demand admission unless "a Republi-
van State, and In case Voorhees, were
slected this year our opportunity would
be thrown away.
