voorhees, says Ills Little Piece.
LeaFned's Opera House was well filled
last evening on the occasion of Delegate
Z. ). VoQrLees' speech-making visit.
Guns were fired, bonfres illuminated
the streets, and the band did duty to do
honor to the gentleman who is distip
guIshed as MIR. Bradshaw's connection
Hon. X. &. Hill, chairman of the demo
cratic county committee, and A. l.. Teele
escorted Mr.. Voorhees, to the platform.
and after inviting everybody to seats on
the stage succeeded in getting W. H.
WhIttlesey TO occupy one of the vacant
chairs. The audience was about half
repu blican, and was patient through q
tiresome address that lasted nearly three
hours though by the close nearly half
had yawned themselves out Of the room.
among the retiring ones being many
prominent democrats.
a. l.. Teele, candidate for prosecuting
attorney, was introduced first, and de-
livered himself of a short speech, the
substance of which was to the effect that
our present prosecuting attorney didn't
know beans and couldn't do anything
unless first told how; that the county
was all wrong, and that our laws were a
miserable farce; that it was all right for
laboriug men to violate the law because
the law was in the interest of capital aid
against the laborer; that the Seattle
riots were right because they we're simply
an uUtburst of righteous Indignation
remedy; that Gov. Squire was a despot
for not allowing lawful authority to be
trodden under foot, even when the chief
justice and the democratic e. s. attorney
asked for declaration OF martial law
which the democratic president upheld
and approved. There was lots of dyna-
mite anarchy in Judge Teele's address,
and If it meant anything besides bid
for votes it meant that we should dis
courage capital aud manufacturers that
require corporate organizations. Those
who have been anxious to secure manu-
facturers for Port Townsend bay are
likely to inquire if the mill companies,
the iron company and other corporations
are not friends to labOring men by giving
them employment. Judge Teele left the
inference that if he were elected all would
be righted.
HON. C. s. VOORHEES,,
Who was next introduced, started in by
referring to the civil war when the |
shackles were struck from black slaves |
(Which war for freedom was opposed by
papa Voorhees, who declared it failure |
and wanted Union soldiers labeled Lin
coin dogs; then he wandered off on the |
statehood question and said 1t might oe |
casion some wonder that he had subor-
dinated our statehood bill to the for
feiture question, and had left the bill to |
its fate while he joined the railroad COM |
pany's efforts in preventing forfeiture.
He said his bill to annex northern Idaho |
back by the senate-forgettiDg to say |
that it was included in the Dolph ad- |
mission bill which passed the senate and |
is now held by the House committee. |
He devoted most of his time to attacking |
Senators Doiph and Mitchell and the |
republicans who did not vote for him |
last election, showing cOnclusively that |
they we're pack OF railroad hIerlings |
throughout without any principle and |
without sense enough to go in out of the |
ram. Ia this connection he impressed |
the audience with The good fortune this |
benighted people of Washington Terri
tory met with when G. s. Voorhees,
deprived himself of the comforts Of his |
Indiana home and flew to Their relief by |
that they might elect him to |
office. His style is much improved since |
is. he was not so violent in calling names |
as he has been at other places. He de- |
claims like six-bit actor, aud launches |
around till completely exhausted. He |
said he didn't need to hire anybody to |
talk for him; III fact he demonstrated |
that he was created during the gaseous
period, and hadn't been stinted in ma
te rial either. He said Bradshaw was !
railroad man who bad changed his mind |
Immediately upon receiving the repub-
lican nomination-uo willing to be fair |
enough to say that the latter favored |
conditional extention OF time two years |
ago on the Cascade branch, for specific |
reasons. and uuder conditions that DO |
not exist today. In fact he proved |
that
You may masquerade voorhees, under any gus, |
Bus the ofor of a demayoguc will hang round |
him still.
For over two anda-haf hours did this |
young elocutionist make up grimaces,
strike attitudes aud below, evoking oc-
casional applause till finally worn out
he wished the republican party in hell
and said good night. He lost votes
among democrats, aud might better have
stayed away.
