night His magnetism and his flre a. q speaker
won him many friends. Dignity and manliness
characterized = powerful arraignment by
him Of his enemies and the enemies
OF Seattle who are making personal
light against him here in Tacoma Those who
went to Germauia hall to hear him speak and
were prejudiced against him to begin with,
yielded to his vigorous and manly appeal for
Harness. Righteous indignation seemed to in.
spire him at times, and in every instance when
he placed his case before the audience he was
notified by approving cheers and applause that

thing more than an ordinary orator.
he was thoroughly In earnest, and every
word had . true ring that charmed the

residents within half mile of the
hall that he had mode q great hit
He did not spare the SEATTLE haters, all
OF whom were over at the Tacoma theater at
tending the Democratic mass meeting. This
was shown in telling relief when the list OF vice
presidents was read.
All of the seattle-haters, who are sscretely ar
ranging TO knife Seattle and Mr.. McGraw, were
with Absconder Snive!y.
All OF those who nelped prepare the resolu.

were named in q perfunctory sort of way a.
vice presidents OF the Republican meeting were
the following: Isaac W. Anderson, Theodore
Hosmer and H. A. Corell, president of the city
council.
The chilly reception predicted and hoped for
Mr.. McGraw by Seattle haters was lack
ing, and it displeased them greatly. They
envied the attention which tho loyal
Republicans bestowed upon McGraw.
Nelson Bennett, or his ghost, appeared at the
rear OF Germania hall just a. Judge Evans was
making his remarks and just as the audience
cheered McGraw, and Judge Evans read the fol.
lowing telegram from Gov. Ferry:

Judge Evans vas interrupted four times BY
vociferous applause while reading Gov. Ferry's
message. When he concluded Nelson Bennett
had fed.
A most curious incident was the opening fca-
tuTe OF the meeting. The hall had filed
up SO rapidly that the Fiambeau Club
could not get in. Men left their
seats on the floor to make way for
ladies, who came in just a. the band reached
the hail. At $50 o'clock Mr.. McGraw appeared
on tho platform. Rousing applause announced
it. When quiet was restored, an enthusiastic
admirer OF McGraw took everybody by surprise
and demanded three cheers for the standard.

"Three Kisses for the traitors of the Repnb.
