A STUN N Z r
Largest Political Meeting
Ever Held in Stevens
County.
A Great Speech by Our
Next Governor.

AS the TRIBUNE predicted, Hon.
Knute Nelson was greeted here last
Thursday evening by an immense
crowd of people. The court house
hall was packed solid by an Interested
and enthusiastic audience, many Of
whom were obliged to stand up dur
ing the entire meeting.
A torchlight procession of 300
torches, accompanied by the silver
cornet band and the drum corps
marched through our streets, making
magnificent display.
Mr.. Nelson was received with the
most enthusiastic applause when he
was presented to the audience. He
spoke for nearly two hours, during
which time he handled in mastery
manner the management of state af
fairs by the Republicans, the wheat
question, state banks, the free coinage
of silver, and the tariff. 1t was the
universal expression of those who
heard Mr.. Nelson's argument that it
was the clearest explanation of those
subjects they ever listened to. He
has the remarkable faculty, not pos
sessed by many political speakers, of
explaining the subject which he dis
cusses SO clearly that a child can I'M
derstand it. 1t was common remark
the next day after the meeting, Il
never heard the tariff and silver ques-
tons SO clearly explained as Nelson
explained them last night" 1t was
a. grand speech, and will have a tell
ing effect with the voters of the coun-
ty. Put down big vote for Knute
Nelson in Stevens county.
Hancock and Donnelly sent quite
large delegations to the meeting, and
the country towns were largely repre-
sented.

" SENATOR SHERMAN REVIEWS
HIS ATTACK


Senator Sherman renewed his at
tack and refused to be convinced even
by the oratory of the Iowa senator.
He wanted the senate to do the
straightforward thing, and not fizzle
about it.
"Give the Fair 100000 and do
not make believe that you are deceiv-
ing yourselves in giving it 7O-cent
silver dollar, or two 35 cent half-dol-
lars" IF the children cry for it, as
the Senator has said they did, "Why
not give them Castoria?" said
Sherman. He knew it was a popular
thing with the little ones, more pop
ular he thought than even the souv-
enir half-dollars would be. The gal
laries looked down in surprise as
these remarks came from Sherman,
and congressman who entered the
chamber just as Mr. Sherman uttered
them, dropped into the chairs nearest
the door,
