A Real Rally.
The republican rally at Eldridge Sat-
urday night is an occasion which will
long be remembered by those who were
present. jamestown furnished half the
audience and most of the speakers. The
republican club chartered special train
to go out. Two coaches were filled with
"a jolly and enthusiastic republican crowd.
The number of ladies present was mat
ter of frequent remark, over a dozen be-
ing from this city. The Arion military
band. under the leadership OF Professor
Voigt, was present and added much to
the enthusiasm Of the occasion. It is
likely that there will be rallies at Mont
pelie2, Ypsilanti, 2ingree and other points
in tho county, and the same band will
stir things up as those places, If the
meetings eventuate as expected.
On arrival at Eldridge the band play
ed selection and ,le crowd quickly
filed the village school house, where the
speaking occurred. Somebody is respon-
sible for some very tasty decorations,
flags and streamar;, being attractively dis
played about tine room. &. l.. Holmes
called the meeting to order and A. w.
Cunningham was chosen to preside. Mr..
Cunn.nshDnl, on taking the chair,made a
few remarks plophesying that Stutsman
would be the banner republican county
and Eldridse the bright particular pre-
cinct i'll Stutsman county, sentiment
which was loudly applauded.
The temper OF the audience demanded
speeches right away, and in answer to
the calls for hin, District Attorney Frye
stepped forward and gave them some
straight republican talk. Il was more IN
the nature OF an exhortation requesting
the gentlemen to vote the straight ticket
and never scratch it. He SAID the only
ticket was to furnish a peg on winch to
hang an interview with Sunset Cox and
Bill Springer, and remarked incidentally
that Mr.. Roach, the democratic nominee,
would not leave his home during the
campaign. Hon. Alfred Dickey, who was
honored with the second place on the
state ticket, was then called on and
given handsome reception. He said ne
would not urge the audience to vote the
straight ticket because he was on it him
self, and it might look like personal
matter, but he never heless proceeded to
enumerate and elucidate upon a
number of reasons why a good citi-
zen should not vote for demo-
crat. He reviewed the democratic party s
record and pulled out a few of the party s
4 tail feathers. He said he did not blame
the democrats for objecting to review
OF their party record. The democrats
say ..let the dead past bury its dead and
SO, he saio, would he, did his party have
SO unsavory record as that of democra-
cy. Attorney General Nickeus, who can
speak on most any subject and at most
any tune, made one of his happy efforts.
He again reverted to the fact that there
were no sore heads at Fargo Every defeat
ed candidate bowed to the majority and
threw his hat in the air for the hrst re-.
publican state ticket. John Mllsted OF
Z Iowa precinct, is winning an enVlaole
distinction as a public speaker, John
! came next. He did not say much about
politics but confined his remarks to the
irrigation question. He rung IN a quota
ton from Mellette and another from
Chauncey Depew. County COMMISSION,
er Eddy was called upon but excused
himself and q. A. Boyn1on, in answer to
AZ. e.. ~, pH TO
issue the pronunciamentO that he had
y been |. hard working farmer that day and
that Stntsman county would give oUO
gmaiori5, for the republican state ticket.
Il. NJ. Camp struck happy vein and
amused the audience with an lronlcal
! defense of democracy. Somehow OF
other his remarks had boomerang
moYelneut like McFingals' gun and the
points scored were against instead OF for
democracy. lie spoke of the importance
OF thorough organization and said he be-
Eeved that what little success democracy
had met with of late was due manly to
organization. He said a democrat never
voted anything but straight ticket and
he wanted to see republicans initiate
them in that particular. d. p. Buzzell
made few political observations and
ran off on a tangent. What he could
not see was,why there should be any eau
cnssinu before q convention meets.
Fredrus Baldwin, who followed him, pro-
ceeded 10 give some reasons why 1T
should be so and I'VE utterance to a few
thoughts arising from the remarks OF the
preceding speaker and a few more call
ed out by the spirit of the evening.
EVERYBODY DRINKS LEMONADE
At this point two good citizens OF Ed
ridge appeared with trlb of lemonade'
which the ladies had thoughtfnlly pro-
vided to quench tho mild republican
thirst. j. A. Frye moved that a recess
