Voters. can you be deceived ?

For stalwart lying commend us to
the Ledger correspondent at Tenino,
last Wednesday, in his report of the
"Gland Republican Rally" He
declares that Gas if by magic the
whole country round about had
been aroused, and men, women and
children turned out by hundreds,
by fifties and by scores to hear the
great political issues of the day com
mented upon. Five trains, includ-
ing one freight train, haudcars wag-
ons aud saddle horses were utilized
in bringing the people together.
The fact is just as stated in another
column; nobody responded to the
call for grand rally; not more than
dozen attended the meeting except,
those who went out from Olympia.
1t was o decided and fat failure,
which the disgruntled crew tried TO
account for by stating that Mr.. Por-
ter had telegraphed change of
time for the meeting to the succeed
ing day. The letter of the cores
pondent, giving such graphic de-
scription of the speakers and mar
rating what they said, was written
in the hotel parlor before the meeting
took place. The writer of this item
read the letter before the meeting
was called together.
