meeting at Rock Springs on Saturday

the hour when his manuscript was re-

one Of the speeches:
1.-The government which you are now living I'M
der has One Hundred and Forty Dollars lying idla
in Washington, This vast amount should be right

from the looks of you thinF not. We're it not for
those high tariff frauds you could all better
clothes than you have on here this night. There

the evening Mr., Stump and Mr.. Page
spoke to rather larger audiences,
confning their remarks principally
to the same inexhaustible subject.
Mr.. Stump assured his hearers that
he would be elected by 5000 majority i,
