the favor and strict attention Of the
auditors, seemed TO point with an un-
erriDg finger 70 the day OfVictory, when
the popular enthusiasm thus
engendsred will magnify itself
in the ballot. According TO call,
the two hambeau clubs met Capt. Page
early in the evening, and after donning
their attractive uniforms, marched out in
q brilliant procession, keeping time to
the music furnished by the K. P. band.
The clubs marched all over the primer
pal business parts Of the city, marching
and cOunter-marching, being set off
with an occasionally brilliant flare
of the flambeau. The marching
of the Senior hambeau club
was very good. but the boys were
wretchedlY out Of time After marching
ing TO the court house the last flare was
followed by a song of the Welsh Glee
club, shouting the Battle Cry of Free
dom" During the course of the even
ing several fine songs were sung.
Colonel Taylor, IN happy speech, in
troduced the orator of the evening, Hon.
s. b. BtadiotdI candidate for at
tOrDeY general on the ticket.
Mr.. Bradford hogan calmly and
deliberately and after thanking the peO-
pie of EinpOria and Lyon county for the
part they had borne IN his nom-
nation aud pledging them
that If he were elected they sboHld have
no reason TO regret the part they Lad
taken in his election. He began talking
on the great issues of the day. He
Waxed warm aud eloquent. He made
statements and then he proved them
He laid the bare facts before the p oPlc.
He attacked the Democrats with un-
| gloYed hands. He discussed the tariff,
making his speech clear and concise.
His address was rae. lived and every
where spoken of with the highest praise.
Hoo. j. NJ. Mill, r, OF Council Grove,
was then Introduce, d, vi o in an eloqucn ut
and impressive spes eli, which came as
the water rushes down ail inclined plane,
about the state OF Kansas aid The future
standard beaf,r.
He first spoke of the early history of
Kansas as the birthplace OF freed"m in
this county; then Of the meu who fig
ured largely in making it free state,
and of the fact that John A. Martin, our
standard bearer for governor, WAS
closely connected with every good
work II the history Of the
Empire OF the West Every word
ever uttered by him in connection with
Kansas were words OF friendship. of 10y
atty and devotion To the principles of
the Republican party which made Kan
sas free state. He spoke of his record
as soldier, and as Il private and public
citizen, saying that during all his life he
has devoted himself to the best inter-
ests of our state. While on the other
hand his opponent, George w. Click,
was the enemy of Kansas 10 her early
history; q copperhead during the war,
aud traducer of Kansas memories from
the day 1t became q state down to the
present hour, and a man unworthy the
support of men who respect even de-
cency in public men. From Kansas
with her glorious history the speakers
turned to the record of the Democratic
party, and briefly reviewed 1t from the
time 1t sought to make Kansas a slave
state down to the nomination OF a man
without record, or rather without g
political record. His arraignment Of
the party was very severe to say the
least, and met with the hearty approval
of the audience as shown by the ap
plause that greeted almost every sen
tence as it fell from the orators lips
He concluded with thrilling review Of
the record of the Republican party and
its grand leaders, urging every Republi
can to be true TO his party with all 1t;
glorious memories and elect men thai
were the embodiment of all that is good
and pure in our republic.
Col. A. B. Jetmore was then Intro.
duced, who arose amid cheers and
spoke in his usually characteristic man
ner.
Mr.. Jetmore's address was one Of
power and eloquence combined. His
impression on his audience was strong
and lasting, and one of the happlesl
things he said was Tint he would return
in the near future.
He paid his respects 10 his prohibition
friends and then TO the anti
Republicans. He spoke of the private
character of st. John IN the highest
terms, but said that his present course
was wholly uDjustifiable, and referred to
1t as a direct boost for the Democratic
party. He discussed the homestead law,
and said the people owed all they have
received from 1t to the Repub-
llcan party who have wrench
ed it from an unwilling
Democracy. He touched lightly on the
tariff and said he would like to say more,
but would wait till he came again. 1t
was nearly midnight when Mr.. Jetmore
concluded, but the people were all lis
tening with as breathless interest as
ever.
