The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1888-10-13

On Tuesday evening the first Republi.
can rally Tor this campaign was held in
this city. About one hundred names
were enrolled on the list forming the
Harrison and Morton club and lively
campaign can now bc expected. The
meeting was held i'm Doucet's opera house.
Mr.. " X Moore, OF Detroit, was the only
speaker present, though il was under
stood that Mr.. :. NJ Stephenson, our
candidate for representative in congress,
and several other well known gentlemen
were To be here on the occasion, but for
some cause or another Jailed TO put in an
appearance, consequently Mr.. Moore was
compelled 10 work single handed. The
large audience, including goodly number
OF ladies, was treated 10 several well
selected patriotic songs by the ladies in
attendance, under the leadership Of
Mesdames l.. ID. Rowlcy and n. X Far
rand. The singers were heartily APP
plauded; then the speaker was intro
duced by ID. G. Lockwood, chairman OF
the Iron county Republican committee.
MIR. Moore's speech was "a thoroughly,
carefully and mastery compiled history
of the truly American protective system.
He pictured the workings Of free trade in
this country whenever the democratic
party succeeded i'm bringing il about or
even approaching IL. He showed 10y fig
ures that do not lie, first, how inconsist-
ant the Mills bill really is; second, he
brought out convincing proof that the
Mills bill, which was endorsed by Presi-
dent Cleveland and the democratic ma
tional convention, is free trade bill in
the broadest sense OF the word and it's
every tendency il in accordance with the
British method. BY undeniable proof il
was shown that Mr.. Mills and his assoc
lates on the committee that framed the
bill, are in no manner interested in any
OF our industries and therefore could not
and do not know the wants al this and
other northern states. Mr.. Moore de-
picted very distinctly the true merits Of
our American protective policy and the
fallacies of free trade, closing with "A glow
ing tribute To our standard bearers, Hair
rison aud Morton. The gentleman is not
professional speaker, but he il scholar
aud a master OF the English language.
His address created decided impression
ON the audience and inspired his henrers
TO renewed life and vigor which will GER
tainly manifest itself on the sixth day Of
November next. Other speakers are
booked for here in the near future.

nearly AL of the provision against which
objections were directed, leaving only
that portion relating TO railroad grants.
The public land laws will continue To he
executed AZ heretofore Persons who
have made prescription filings and tim
ber-culture entries may legally perfect

with the understanding that they could

plete the same i'm accordance with the
terms 81 their contracts, and persons
who accepted pledges ~ the government

valid and valuable claims, may continue
10 locate their scrip. The people ~ the
great Northwest are to he congratulated
upon the escape they have experienced,
ms nothing could have more seriously i'm
Iured the growth ~ their section, than
the passage of the bill as introduced.
The bill was SO changed that the title
was found inapplicable and "A bill relat-
ing To railroad land grants" was substi-
tuted. II simply provides that during
the pending OF the measures now before
congress in relation To the forfeiture OF
certain lands heretofore granted by con-
gress 10 railroad corporations and there
after 10 act done or performed by any
such corporation shall i'm anywise enlarge
the right or claim OF any such corpora
ton 20 any lands covered by any such
grant, or diminish any right now existing
in the United States To declare the for
ieiture thereof. This prog ision shall not
be construed TO in anywise affect or di-
minish or waive any right now existingin

forfeiture Of any OF the lnndsembraced in
ony such grant. HENRY n. Corr.

The chances are that the Crystal Falls
dancing club will receive considera bile
larger patronage than the Pleasant Hour
dancing club, unless the latter makes
more Roadway than il now shows signs
OF doing. The Pleasant Hour club was
organized one year ago and dances were
held every two weeks during the winter,
furnishing untold amusement to the
members. Notwithstanding the pleasure
afforded there was much enmity mani
Tested among the members, but forum
ately IL found no vent and the entertDin-
ments were amicably continued until the
end OF the season. Last week an at
tempt was made Go re-organize the Pleas
ant Hour club and about dozen names
were attached 10 the paper. Some of
the members OF the old organznti ton CON
cluded to establish a new and separate
club. Those interested formed n paper
and had il circulated, the result being
that i'm day or 40 the names OF iifty-tive
gentlemen were enrolled thereon. ma
jority OF the signers held meeting ON
Sunday afternoon, perfected the organi-
zation and elected the following officers:
A. l.. Robbins, president; T.. j. Gilbert,
vicc-president III. V. Ashby, secretary
Summer Hopkins, treasurer. full set OF

The attention Of all interested in the
schools OF the county, especially of par
ents, is called to the accompanying school
report. One OF the greatest obstacles TO
successful school work IL the frequent,
and often unnecessary absence and tard-
mess Of the pupils. Toone who has given
the subject "a moments thought this is
very evident. One pupil 10y absence,
hardness or other causes, falling behind
IN his class work, retards the progress Of
the whole class. IL ishoped that parents

children regular and punctual in. at

THE EXPOSITION.
The Director General Says They Are "a
Busy as Bees.

Busy as Bees.
What is the latest regarding the Ex'
position ?" was the question pumped al
DR.. Henry c. Jones. Director General 0l
the proposed Exposition, yesterday.
1--WE are all as busy as bees working al
it," was the reply, land every day ap'
plications for space are being received
| To-day one came from New York, and
one from Philadelphia, and we are con-
stantly getting similar communications
away from here. This shows that the
Exposition Is attracting attention
throughout the country"
at promises then to be great suc'
cess"
Every indication points in that di-
rection. Our people are somewhat slow
| in taking hold of 1t, but all the prospects
| are that there will be large attendance. y
By the way, continued Dr. Jones, there
is one very important point to when
public attention should be particularly
called, and that is the necessity for pro-
viding for the visitors who will attend.
A Bureau of Information has already
been started, under charge Of Messrs.
Samuel Ii. Bowman and w. l.. Waring,
at No. 10 South Ninth street These
gentlemen have been making up this
bureau for several weeks, but as yet have
received but little encouragement. 1t Is
absolutely necessary that arrangements
shall be perfected by which strangers
may be directed where the rooms and
lodgingsare without any difficulty, in order
that the crowds may be comfortably
taken care of. What is desired is that
everyone in The city who is willing to
furnish board and lodging TO visitors to
the Exposition will give their names and
addresses to these gentlemen, so that they
may be placed in book, and properly
recorded.
Mr. Bowman was then seen at his place
of business on Main street, and asked
what progress had been made in getting
up his bureau. He replied that he had
prepared number of blanks containing
spaces for the names of the parties pro-
posing to take dodgers, the location Of
heir houses, prices of single meal, for
table board per day, for meals and lodg'
ings per day, per week, and per month,
lie total number that can be accommo'
dated, and all information necessary to
be given. About 5000 of these blanks
! have been sent out, he said, but only
about twenty-five or thirty answers re-
ceived. They can be obtained from him
at SIS East Main, from Mr.. Wariug at
5l5 East Main, and at No. 10 South
Ninth street
This is y very important matter, and
one on which the success of the Exposi
ion largely depends. Atlanta's last Ex-
position was somewhat Of a failure on
account of a neglect of just such precau
tons, and ii would never do 10 permit
our Virginia Exposition to differ from
any such cause. Parties who propose
taking dodgers should. therefore, give In
their names to Messrs Bowman and
Waring at once.

THE RICHMOND LOCOMOTIVE AND
MACHINE WORKS

Given Big Contract for Electric Cars.
Superintendent Burt of the electric
road, and Lieutenant Greene of the
Sprague Motor Company, some weeks
ago visited the shops of the Richmond
Locomotive and Machine Works, and
made such favorable reports of their
equipment and capacity as to lead to con-
tract being given by Messrs. Thornton n
Motley & Co. of New York, to the loco
motive works for fifty electric cars to be
fitted with the Sprague motor Ten Of
these cars 60 TO Connellsville, Ohio, and
it is thought the others will be used on
the City Railway here.
Messrs Flynn and Motley say that their
wanrs will be not less lhau 25O cars
per snnum and possibly more Mr.. j.
J. Montague, Vice-PIesident Of the
Richmond Locomotive and Machine
works, was seen and asserts his ability 10
turn out the cars in as goodshape as those
made by Northern builders, and hopes
10 make the first delivery at an cary
dae. We should have at least one Of
ihee Richmond built cars at the Ex.
position.

CHICAGO, June 22-Late last evening
Blaine procession marched into the ro-
tunda of the Grand Pacific Hotel with a
band of music and hoisied their trsnspar-
cncies. The cheering was tremendous,
tin horns, flags, canes, umbrellas and
hats helping on the general enthusiasm
4 Gresham procession had returned to
the hotel only few minutes before. and
some of the Gresham men did not relish
the Blaine enthusiasm. They went to
the Gresham rooms and brought out
couple of ,ransparencies used In the par
ade and hoisted them to counteract the
cheering for the man from Maine. The
din now became frightful. the big ro
tunda was one solid mas of humanity,
men standing on chairs, lounges and
wherever they could obtain foothold.
CHEERS FOR BLAINE AED COUNTER
CHEERS FOR GRESHAM.
rent the air until Clark street became
impossible from the crowds trying TO get
into the hotel Hats were hoisted on
canes and umbrellas, and amid the din
the old campaign shout of Blaine,
Blaine, James G. Blaine" could be heard
like the yell of marching army. The
sympathizers seem to be evenly divided
and wi en- the Blaine noise faltered
| the Gresham men cheered like mad.
Suddenly the man carrying the Blaine
transparency was hoisted on the should.
ers of group of enthusiasts, and from
this eminence he waived the name of the
Plumed knight The crowd went wild.
Then the Gresham men did the same, and
for twenty minutes there was rivalry
to see which motto could be placed the
high hest. Men pulled off their coats,
climbed on top Of each other, and waved
the names of Blaine and Gresham within
| few feet of each other. II one motto
fell il was grasped by a score of hands
aud sent alott again.
Finally the Blaine man reached the
capital of the pillar. His banner was
now the highest but a Gresham fellow.
more of sailor, climbed up his pillar to
the projection above the capital and
pushed his bander against the ceiling.
The crowd went wild, He had hardly
descended when pack of Blaine men
set upon him, and In second every yes.
tige of linen was torn from the frame he
carried. The Gresham men retaliated,
and he Blaine banner was only saved BY
being rushe. out through the cigar store

in the face and several of the men were
knocked TO the floor. Policemen In vain
tried TO force their way through the
crowd, but before they reached the COM
ba.ants the struggle was over. Iu re-
venge two Gresham men climbed up and
fl xed their favorite's picture on the
highest points of the pillars and left
them there. Such scene was never
known in Chicago before.
