The greatest excitement bas prevailed
nere since last Saturday. when the rail.

dry, immediately after their failure to
control f. Bot the lowest depth of
political villainy Was reached TODAY.
Ine regularly elected Republican uule-
gates 10 the County Convention, all Vt
Snom were anti monopoly Republicans
with a uery te'e Exceptions, assembled
al Chappris Hall, the place appointed
oy the Central Conmittee, and found
tee monopoly Republicans there in foil
fsrce. w. l.. Stabier, one Of the Conn.
" Committee (got a deiegdte) }, called the
meeting 70 order, and at once asked the
SECRETARY Of the Commatee to call tue

precincts, Yakima and Wenas. ignoring
esfirefg the regularly elected Republican
Delegates. ThIs shameless atten. ut to
set aside the popular will aroused the
indiRnatioa of all honest men of both
parties. Hon. Edward whItson, Ross
Beck, Capt j. +. simmons and Others
advanced-an demanded their seats as
Republican delegates, and in the name
Ut justice protested against such an out
raRe. Itfey were waved aside and hoot-
cd d OWN by the railroad monopolists,
who had thus violently usRI ped the
control OF the meeting. As bloodshed
seemed imminent, Colonel B. A. Grover
struggled TO the front and b4gged the
Republicans to retire to the other end
of the ball and proceed with she CON
vention, which they did, while the mo-
nopolists proceeded with their farce.
The Republican Convention placed q

w. l.. Stabler, who presided over the
monopolists. Was chairman of the pre-
cinct convention at Atahnum, and rec
oRnized the delegates who were then
elected % and declared the proceed

these same delegates we're thrust under
his nose at the county convention he ig-
nored them altogether. bot dares not
give reason for his action. A general
gloom has settled over the community.
The black cloud so vividly portrayed by
your grand exponent of the peoples
rights seems to settle still closer down
upon us. Men Of both the Republican
and Democratic parties men who pio-
neered the way for freedoms advancing
hosts men and women who wrested
this empire from savage beast and eav-
age man and lighted up the sign Of civil
IL stion in the wilderness, are protesting
IN the name of their children, of future
generations and of common Justice,
against this browning act of infsmy of
the Northern Pacific railroad, and still,
with unblushing effrontery, they con-
tinue their nefarious work, and will az
pear With four delegates at the Terri
torial Convention, and, by every art
known to their masters, try to consum.
mate their scheme in the nomination Of
a Delegate to Congress, a Representa-
tive to the Legislature, and JOINT
Councilman. When asked how they
expect to succeed in electing a ticket
thus " conceived In sin and brought
forth in mystery" they boldly answer.
