IT WAS QUITE SUCCESSFUL, AND
WELL attended.

Oat " Four "Talks''-The Grand Old
Party Proven to be "No Good"
A Democratic meeting, with brass
band, bonfire and Chinese lantern

ment, was neId in this city last eve
ming. 1t was addressed by four
gentlemen who said they were candi.
dst-s for something.or other. NJ. II.
Jacobs, Chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, called the
meeting to order.
One of the speakers said that, after
three days spent III attempting to
nominate the best ticket possible, his
party convention at Boise had nomin.
ated ticket composed of business
men.
Ed. Carlisle, who said lie was a
worr-r.c 'kingman, and the joint can.
didate for the Legislature, promised
to look after the interests of his fellow
workmen. The remaining four Fl tbs
OF the community, we presume, will
therefore have to take care Of itself.
If d. r. Munro does not bury this
gentleman under $50 majority he
should 20 and drown himself.
Ben. Wilson, candidate for Cover
nor, made very pleasant little talk.
He said that he was nottingham,
too, like Ell. Carlisle; but he could
no, say trut'fully that he liked it. In
fact, he worked because he could not
ge, along without il. There are evil-
emily no hi,s On Ben. Wilson.
HON. J. w. REED,
of Lewiston, WAS introduced as the
speaker of the evening.
This gentleman is II very pleasant
speaker, uses the choicest language,
such as no lady or gentleman need
blush to he forced to listen TO. aud is
past master in the art Of holding an
audience. He began talking before
9 o'clock, and held the fl ,or until
nearly IL. He had scarcely talked
half I'm hour, when he began to in
innate that he had very little to say;
half an hour later no said he would
soon be through; and then, about
every 10 or Is minutes, he would say;
81 lust wait to refer to one thing
more" This worked very well, until
ottuse people began to detect the inn
position, and to leave, when the gem
,!eman brought his specific close
raih-r reluctantly, as it was evident
that he was wound up for an a!i>night
talk.
OF course the gentl' man demon
stratpd to his own satisfaction and
that uf his parlisans that no good
could come of the Republican party
that the Democrats were the real
friends of silver and lead; that they
had favored our admission t. State
hood from the start; tina. no Demo,
era, had vot~d against the bill and
only one Repuhlican-''o!d Edmu"ds'
who is always a, his post" he said
had voted for it. He even assured
his hearers that "Hrarst, Clunie e"d
the rest" would protect lead; but
seemed 10 be utterly ohlivious OF the
} fact tina, the Republicans had been
, doing so for over % years, and that
only few days ago, on the final vote
, in both Houses, only ONE Democrat
Clunie, of Callfornia-had voted 'o'
, the IA cents, or $40 per ton ta''tf.
Speaking of wages, Mr.. Reid see"
cd TO think the price of lead cut nc
figure in them, and seriously ASSURED
hi, miner friends that they were get
tins 50 so per day while the Mex~af
peo.s only got about orr'te"th '"a'
amount, because American miners "''
ten times as much work as the Next
cans.
The gentleman even went fur'' e'
and proved that Mr.. Duho'' wei
