Meetings of the Outside
Parties Last Night.
The Butterflies, 81. John Men, lE-
dependents and HOOdlums Gath
er Around the Court House
and Entertain Curious
Crowds.

Last evening as there were no meetings Of
the two political parties. the members OF the
various tidts shows iookioceasion to whoop
'er up all along the line. Lively was no
name for IT, and the old court house got a
dose Of variegated wind. from all sides, that
| It Will not soon recover from.
The Republicans, with the llberality
| exhibited by them just before an election,
| had placed their stand AT the disposal Of the
| Butler ndherents. 4 ife and drum opened
up. and soon a crowd gathered. Major Isaac
| Klnley, candidate for Congress on the
| Butler ticket, was the first speaker lie
arose and surveyed the sea of faces eompla.
Gently. Just then Capt James commenced a
| Del Vale speech on the east steps Of the
Court House, and the ungrateful audience
deserted Major Klnley in the twinkling of
an eye, and Captain James found himself
speaking tO the largest crowd Of his life.
The crowd stayed by the Captain aud
cheered so long as he spoke for Del Vale.
but when he commenced to advocate the
claims of James his crowd left him and wan.
dered back to the q. rs, where the fiery
Bunch, without collar, was assaulting the
English language and Vociferonsly calling
on q Times reporter to buy him a suit OF
clothes The utter absurdity and Wild i'm.
probability Of reporter having money
enough to buy even paper suit Of clothes
was too much for the audience and greater
part Of II drlfted around TO the north side Of
the court house, In front OF the NOlks Hall
saloon where the chilly ~. John men were
having pow WOW. Rev. +. u. Mather, of
Pomona was the first speaker. Mr. Mith-
eris,
That shakes when he laughs like bowl full
Of Jelly"
lie made really excellent speech and the
adjacent saloon did large amount of bust
ness. The saloon was 50 convenient, how
ever. that the audience lost little of Mr..
Mathers' speech. An interested 81. John
man could slip In and get glass Of beer and
be back in time to catch the next sentence,
Mr.. Mather was lengthy so when the res
onant voice Of "Rough and Ready" the
q. Is. candidate for the Assembly floated
over the Court House from the Butler stand
| the fckle crowd got back In time to hear
him begin II TRADE against County Clerk
Potts, and q laudation OF Charley Dnnsmoor.
| The cry ale has met Dunsnoor's sack, was
| raised throughout the crowd II Is said that
| In the late Butler Convention Ready was in
| favor OF Mr. Potts being endorsed by that
| body, His change of heart was sudden.
| His remarks about the salaries the clerks
| has" been getting called to mind his short
| career as q clerk in the Court House He
| also paid his respects to the sub died"
press. lie mentioned the name of a man
| named Mickey, who Is n candidate on the
| BlitleF TICKET, ana some flsfi man tlnppeu
| his hands The man was promptly arrested
| for disturbing the peace
| Col. Sam IIeilner, who was on the stand,
was loudly called for and gracefully stepped
| to the front of the stage, made one Of his
| best bows aud opened his mouth Just then
| S. A. Waldron seized the valiant Colonel
and ynnked him back aud took his place.
| The crowd at this manifested so much dis
| approval that Mr. Waldron said, "You ex
| peetcd to hear hard words from me, but II
| DOM Eapn sill Will fnnl burfl
| blows" AT this war-like statement the peo
| pie near the stand lodged back, and Mr..
| Waldron entered on the discussion Of the
| tariff question. which his long experience
as a school teacher had made him perfectly
| familiar with. His remarks were received
| with such long continued applause that
| Major Hamilton, Of the First Wnrd, arose
and threatened to send for n United States
Deputy Marshal. A deathlike stiffness i'm
medlntely prevaded the crowd,
While Mr.. WaldrOn was cropping his way
In the dense tariff fog the crowd striycd
back to the temperance meeting, where the
great good and only VIII ID. Gould was rend-

date for Congress and will bet pint OF but
termilk he polls more votes than kinley,
There was quite sprinkling of ladies pres.

prevails that he stands in with the fair
Belya
BY this time waldron had finished and
IIeilner, Hazard and Ryan took possession
of the Butler Sth1lu. a member Oi the cock
eyed party arose and stated that the But.
lertes were In no wise responsible for
the speeches about to be made and the th!r
teen members indignantly withdrew, claim
ing that Republican hoodlums had broken
up the meeting. This statement was pretty
nearly true, and great surprise was expressed
at Hazar rs action. Many of the friends OF
both Hazard and Ryan tried to get them of
the stand, but they obstinately refused to
leave.
These two orators spoke duet, us il were,
That Is they were both up and gestlculnting,
and with mouths wide open, at the same
time, The din kept up by the crowd was So
great that nothing they snid could he heard,
II is To be hoped that II special joint discus
sion will be arranged out on the Arroyo Seeo
for Ryan and Hazard. and that another po'
litioal meeting will not havetO be broken up
to give them chance to mir their peculiar
views before the people.
This ended the meetings of the Butterflies,
the ST. John men, the James party nnd the
X. 4 IL. outfit II was the night of the special
parties, and they certainly made the best OF
1t. II Is not true that the Butler men will
try to break up the Republican meeting to-
night out OF revenge
