SEDALIA, Mo-. Oct. 2-Senator George
G.. Vest arrived in this city at an early
hour this morning He proceeded to the
home of mis- daughter, Mrs George P. b.
jackson, where he received a stream O.:
callers all during the forenoon. The
address to be delivered at Wood Opera
House was to commence at 2 p. m. Long
before that hour the street in front of
the building was packed with people
waiting for the opening of the DOORS
At few minutes past two o'clock the
orator was introduced by Charles 6.
Yeater of the county committee For
two hours and a half he held his audi
ence rapt with the sound truths which
he uttered. The large auditorium was
completely packed, and there has never
been a better speech delivered in Seda-
liza. The speaker was freq uently inter
rupted by bursts of applause. The time
was not spent in the recital OF flip
pant stories, but one continual tide
of political truths were poured out
by the speaker. Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike turned out and every Dem
ocrat felt better for having heard him,
and every Republican was brought face
to face with the true system of govern
ment that he is upho1ding, and was
shown, as George G. Vest can so we'll
demonstrate. the evils resulting from
the present laws governing the people,
laws enacted and enforced by Repub-
lican government

John. c. Tarsney spoke here this after
noon at the opera-holse to a great
number of our citizens and farmers,
who fiocked in from the surrounding
country TO hear him on the live issues
of the day, and the house was filled to
it's fullest capacity. His address
directed the attention of the great
West to the silver question and
to the outrageous rulings in the
House by Speaker Reed on all cues
tions. The manner in which he tore the
obnoxious Force bill to pieces produced
great applause. His remarks on the
tariff were applied to the great West,
showing the need of an ample market
for the farmers on account OF over pro-
duction. His reference to Mr.. Blaine
as the leader for high protection in 1854
and 1888, and his great brake for free
trade and reciprocity in 1880. brought
down the house. Ills speech gave greg.

The supreme lodge session will be the
nucleus around which the performances
of the week will gather. That body con-
sists of two delegates from each of the
grand jurisdictions, and though compri5-

OF the most prominent members of the
order from all parts of tine United States
and Canada. Many matters affecting the
interests of the order will come up for
discussion. The question of sustaining
or everything the action of the supreme
chancellor in suspending the celebrated
Kokomo, lind division will create gem
eral interest. Up to the Cincinnati ses>
sion OF the supreme lodge, the kosomo
division had for some years carried off all
the best competitive drill prizes. At Gin
cinnsti they were awarded the second
prize by the judges. although there was
only about one~half of one per cent be,
tween their marking and that of the wins
ming division. The members of the Ko.
komo division published some very severe
censures on the decision of the judges.
For this they were ordered by the SUI
preme chancellor To publicly apologize,
which they refused to do. The supreme
chancellor thereupon issued an order sus>
pending their functions as division. A
strong effort will be made ny the friends
of the Kokomo division who think the
supreme chancellor's action arbitrary and
uncslled for, to have it set aside, and the
crack division re-inststed.
Perhaps the most important matter to
come before the supreme lodge will he
