did royalty, they seemed 10 undtrsl anil
ElleiE business. the hall was well seated
and decorated, the public school WAS
there and a fine choir, assisted ly
some of the candidates, sang several
political songs, and every one seeme,l
to say "welcome" and the audience
was greater in number than the city OF
Newport or Yaquina had, both put
together- The speakers were cheered
and when MIR. Stakely, in behalf Of
the citizens. presented beautiful
bouquet to the candidates the house
went wild. Toledo is the most ener-
getic political and self,respecting town
on the bay. BY common consent the
democrats and republicans gave the
management of the meeting to the
alliance people with Mr.. Parrish in
the chair. Mr.. Stakely proceeded to
demoIish the old parties, appealed to
the blue and gray to uphold the old
flag that was fast disappearing and
drew woful picture Of distress,
brought about by the mismanagement
of the old parties. He failed, person
ally for the want of time 40 minutes)
to tell us how or when the alliance
party intended to bring order out OF
chaos. When you come to think of
it 40 minutes IS a very short time to
plan out "a reorganization OF the govern
ment i'll the matter Of finance, it Is
astonishing to see how simple the
question seems to some minds. II
Stakely is right then Fisher Is wrong,
and they should Immediately exchange
places before any man, woman or child
becomes public charge on somebody
or something, and our loyal friend, S,
T. Jeffreys, has dropped into the al
mighty pot, destruction for America Is
certain unless free trade is adopted,
and any place in Europe is better for
the American wage Garner than this,
he can see nothing to be proud of,
nothing to point to with pride, this
bill Of the great voters, the Mckinley
bill, has ruined us, he felt in his pock
cts and asked the people what he had
hold of? Most Of them seemed inclined
to give it up, but he said it was not !,
dollar, and we all felt relieved. This
attempt to illustrate the poverty OF
the people by the condition of a can-
didate who hrd run the gauntlet OF
Newport is considered unfair Beik-
nap is a patriot aud his young blood is
stirred to "A fever heat when he heard
these dismal TRADES against one Of the
most liberal governments on the earth.
He appreciates and tells his hearers
everywhere how the young man of tl,is
glorious country can rise from poverty
to affluenee, where the laboring man is
the aristocrat, where the government
protects by wise legislation the III
terest of the daily toller as it is in 10
other country. He scorus man who
for political purposes can fad the
Heart to compare this country with
any place in Europe, when every one
knows that the gates of Castle Gar,len
always swing outward, never inward.
With all our enterprise and desire to
find better places, he says no one
thinks of going to Europe to find bet
ter wages or better times; this is really
argument enough to convince the most
skeptical mind.
With Jeffreys,- Bryan and ,Stakely to
contend with, Belknnp feels better; it
keeps all of them hunting authorities
and managing to hold their own witt,
Belknap. Mr.. Ingle has IA chance to
exhibit himself by stating that he and
Mr.. Stearns had entered into an agree
.ment whereby both were to stay at
home, very small item in the paper
would have saved Mr.. Ingle thistroubIe,
besides to the ordinary man it looks as
if he was daily violating his part OF
that agreement. As christian gen.
tlaman Mr.. Ingle can hardly afford to

e SUMMIT.
Here the delegation was met by S.
N Lilly, of Corvallis, who was in his
N 'rfnal condition, two sheets in the
wi I'd and the other futtering. He was
armed as usual with grave doubts as to
the success Of Jolly and determined to
do what he could to defeat the man
he had helped nominate. He stag,
gered between Mrs. Posts and a hen s
nest behind a log that had Osburn
eggs in it until the sun went down
and night shut out spectacle Of pol
'itieal treaeheiy that has become a
familiar word in this county. The
candidates had IL far audience at the
school house and there was nothing
new said or done, each man acquitted
himself to the satisfaction of his politi
cal friends. The canvass is progress
ing on friendly lines and if the aspir-
ants never have anything else in the
way of reward they will look upon
this '.swing around the circle" as an
event of their lives, full of fun and
pleasure. They have crossed the di-
vide and are now among the low lands.
Let lis hope good cheer will meet
them everywhere.
