able to build up wholesale trade; It Is
tho people that suffer on account of the
high freight rates. and we want to sec
whether goods can be shipped across
the territory and back, instead Of drop
ping, them of here, and reducing the
freight charges"
COLONEL J. W. FEIaHAN
was the next speaker listened 10, and he
held the attention Of the audience with
one OF his characteristic and telling
speeches. He said tho people OF the ter
ritory as family would follow the In
ciinatlons they received Ut the inception
of thc new state, and that IL we went
INTO the Union straight and right the
IN reviewing the tariff question the
colonel adduced able and sound argu-
ment and made some forciblc illustra-
ions, and when lie had finished upon
thnt point he wanted to know how
many desired to bring their productions
~ competition with the ,pauper labor of
cluded from this country because they
can live so cheaply and because the
men Of this country cannot compete
with them In the price Of their labor,
ana u Ii the republican party who arc
looking aftcr the interests of the labor
ing classes.
MIR. Feighan was struck with the
cheek of tile men who framed the demo.
cratic platform ut their last convention,
and said the democrats had forgotten to
tell us that they attempted to colonize
this territory at ono time.
In speaking of his candidacy he said
he had hcen nominated without his So
iieitstion,, but If elected he would give
his attention to y number of important
measures and do what In his Judgment
seemed best hc regarded the laboring
man as good as any corporation, and
when In the legislature he would surely
have them In mind; the tide lands and
the schools would receive his attention;
| also the matter of exemption from taxa
taxation. hc remarked that there ought
70 be something 81 sacred about u home
that even taxes could not touch. lie is
opposed to the introdu uction of contract
labor into Washington, and in his clos
Ing remarks hc called attention to the
fact that the rcpublicans,. IN their plat
form adopted at Walla Walla, had made
declarations to the effect that they would
support the widows and orphans of the
soldiers OF the late war.
COLONEL p. IL. WINSTON
was the last speaker, and when his name
was announced the audience .loudly
chccrcd. The colonel with his usual
cloquencc commanded the attention of
his hearers from the time he commenced
until he had finished, and was constant.
~ interrupted by vigorous applause.
The force of his remarks arc briefly
mentioned us follows:
ABOUT ono year ago tho issues
between the two great political parties
were thoroughly discussed. and after u
hard fought campaign, the republicans
were victorious, and the result was to
bring into the union the great territory
Of Washington, and nothing remains
for MS to do now but to reap the harvest,
or to turn 1t over to the enemy; the
democrats accused US of waving the
bloody shirt and bringing up dead is
sues, and for the sake of politics VIC
laid aside, at the last election, those
issues and fought them squarcly
upon their own grounds, and
upon the one important issue, and we
whipped them and gained glorious
victory.
..who are tho candidates you are
asked to support?
'We are to send to congress a man
who, by the geographical location of our
state, and who, as "a representative of a
state where coast defentcs are SO essen
tisl, will hold u position
SECOND TO NoSE
In those historic halls. Itis stated In
one OF the Sound newspapers that Our
candidate originated from an ancestry
that was on the side of the confedcracy
during the late war. Admitting that
tho statement is true, that ought not to
prevent the democrats from voting for
him; but OH tho contrary, Mr.. Wilson'S 4
father went into the Union army pri-
vate soldier and came out brigadieI
general, and six of his fathers brothers
served through the war in defense OF
the union.
"Our candidate for governor hos lived
twenty years among us and needs no
comment, while our candidate for attor.
ney general is our own w. Z. Jones,
whom you all know"
After briefly mentioning the candidates
upon the local ticket, Mr.. Winston made
an eloquent appeal TO the voters at the
coming election to vote the republican
| ticket, and it Is to be regretted tnat
space prevents publishing further cx-
tracts from his address.
