WALIA waLnA. Sept. 27.-fSpeciall-
Two hundred gaily uniformed Republi-
cans marching through Main street and
swinging aambeaus beneath arches
of Roman candles and rockets light
to martial mu.ic--such was the
spectacle that was witnessed in
thoroughfare soiidiy lined with
enthusiastic people tonight. The occa-
sion was the coming of Hon. John II. Nc
Graw ard Col. Patrick Henry Winston TO
address the citizens of Walla Walia on the
issues of the campaign. Long be-
fore the procession had reached
SmalI's opera house the auditorium
and by the time the speakers of the night
had taken their seats on the platform, &C
companied by the Republican leaders of
the county. both the body and gallery OF
the house were packed. The meeting was
presided over by Judge William II.
Upton, and scarcely had he uttered half a
dozen words before there came shout
from the gallery: "Thres cheers for John
II. McGraw," which set the assemblage
into wild cheering. The formal introduce
ton Of Mr.. McGraw evoked second out
burst of enthusiasm.
Judge Upton paid Mr.. McGraw fine
eulogium in tracing his career of industry
and honesty through which he had risen
step by step to his present eminence in
the state. and was frequently cheered.
At the close Of Judge Upton's remarks
when the applause, which threatened to
be prolonged indefinitely. had subsidized,
Mr.. McGraw testified his appreciation of
the enthusiasm shown. To him
1t bore strong testimony of the 10y
atty and devotion of Walla Walla
to the interests of the Republican party.
1t gave assurance that the Republicans of
the county were prepared to go forth to
battle and to victory under the banner of
protection and reciprocity. For the first
time in the existence of the state its
citizens were called upon tn vote for
presidential electors. and it would be re-
membered whose proclamation it was that
gave this fair young state to the sisterhood
of states. Mr.. McGraw warmly commended
the craftsmanship and patriotism Of the
party's leader. Benjamen Harrison, and
when he mentioned the presidents name
he was applauded long and loudly. Mr..
McGraw then dwelt upon the fact that the
nomination for governor had come to him
unsought. He had never expected nor
looked for it. Having become the nominee
ofthe party. he had accepted the high honor
with the grave responsibilities it imposed,
and, having done 50, with the help of the
Republicans of the state, he expected to
win. AS executive of the state, he would
promise an administration whose
members would be- selected be-
cause Of their fitness and owing

none Of which would be lost. thanks to the
timely and thoughtful action of Gov.
