Another gentle zephyr.

| i ne Ddttle Is on once more.
After election we may expect affairs to b.
| rather dull.
The west-bound passenger train, due here
at 2:40 A. NJ, did not arrive until 6 thi:
morning.
The election passed off to-day without
any marked disturbance, although many
amusing incidents happened.
Rev. G. NJ. Irwin occupied the pulpit OF
the Methodist church last evening. He
delivered a very eloquent discourse.
Mrs. c. NJ. Bulger and daughters Kate
and Annis left on the afternoon train to
visit relatives and friends in Massachusetts,.
Mr.. J. A. Anderson, the sheep-buyer of
British Columbia, is in the city. He has
more sheep than any man on the western
hemisphere.
Judge Bennett, with the tenacity of pur.
pose for which he is 80 well known, made
the last speech of the season at the Locks
this. morning.
Rain fell at Hood River and Cascade
Locks Friday night and Saturday, and also
at Antelope and vicinity, leaving crops in
fine condition.
The Sunday school excursion last Satur-
day, near Mosier, was largely attended,
and a number of ladies, gentlemen and
children of this city had an enjoyable time.
Judge Bennett and others discoursed
Democratic doctrines in the Vogt Grand
liant Saturday night. Our reporter was not
present, and we have heard no comments on
the speeches delivered.
The eagle heads the Republican ticket,
while representa- tion of commerce and
,,,fo oof,, &ha
racy, and deer standing in pool of water
the Union The eagle will scream victory
ovaT all of these tomorrow.
at Cascade Locks Saturday evening
speeches were made by Mr.. Hugh Gouray
and another gentleman from this city. Mr..
Gourlay was in his happiest mood, and
made good impression on the audience,
which will have Its effect on the vote cast
to-day
The last day of the campaign there was
a political picnic at the Locks. The hall
had been secured in advance by the Re-
publicans, and Col. Nevius made one of his
thrilling speeches. He was willing to di-
vide time with the Democrats; but suitable
arrangements could not be made.
Mrs. Britton's residence, near the Union
lodging house, caught fire in the roof to-
day; but Mr.. VIM. Mccoy, hero not to
fame unknown, soon mounted the roof, and
by the aid of Mr.. James Gibberson, one
of those silent heroes who acts more than
he talks-who handed him buckets of
water, the flames were soon brought under
subjectIon.
The last day of the canvass there was a
rousing speech by Col. E. w. Nevius at
Cascade Locks. The crowded hall which
greeted his appearance at times went wild
with applause over his telling hits on the
Democratic psrty and its candidates. The
colonel made fine impression ON the peo-
pie and will be welcomed at any future
time.
Commencing next Saturday the Union
Pacific will sell excursion tickets on Satur-
days at Sl.50 to the Locks and to Hood
River and return for 81. This will afford
our citizens fine opportunity of visiting
these points of interest in our county, and
should make these Saturday excursions
quite popular. These rates will continue
until Sept. 30th
Last Saturday evening at the court house.
Col. 4. W. Nevius made tne crowning
speech of the campaign. His language was
well chosen, his sentences rhetorical, and
his logic unanswerable. The public career
of Gov. Pennoyer was dissected in good
shape. and the charges against Thompson
completely refuted. He was frequently
applauded, and every one in the large au-
dience seemed satisfied with the address
and the reasons produced for voting the
Republican ticket
