The democrats Of Caldwell held the
largest and most enthusiastic political
meeting of the campaign last Friday
night. The occasion which was one Of
good feeling and friendly endeavor,
was in honor of Idaho's next governor,
Hon. John M. Burke. About 8 p. M,
! amid the roar of the cannon and cheers
OF the populace, the special from Boise,
having aboard the distinguished visi-
tors, was received at the station by the
Caldwell democratic club, seventy-five
strong. The Boise democratic march
ing club with torches and Transparent
cies were also on the train and immcdi-
ately formed for parade. After par
aiding the principal streets for half an
hour the column brought up at the
Pacific hotel and the speakers OF the
evening took carriages and were es-
corted to Athletic hall where large
audience Of citizens, among which the
ladies Of the town were well repre-
scented, had already assembled. Among
those who had seats on the platform
were Gov. Burke, Phil. Tillinghast,
chairman democratic state central COM
mittee, Hon. p. A. Regain, candidate for
state treasurer, J. NJ. Ballentine, can
didate for representative, Chas. Mullen,
Of Colorado, and Hon. H. X. Hartley.
Mr.. G. r. Shaw, presided, and first in
troduced Gov. Burke. Space will not
permit synopsis Of Mr.. Burke's
speech, but his candid manner and evil
dent sincerity undoubtedly made him
many friends. The inconsistency Of the
protection bugaboo and the utter unfit.
ness for Office Of the ring which at
present dominates Idaho republicans,
were two Of his strong points. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Burke's address,
Chas. Mullen, Of Colorado, was intro
duced. This gentleman made speech
of considerable length reviewing the is
sues of the campaign as seen from
miners and workingman's standpoint.
He made many telling hits. j. M. Bal
lentine was introduced and said he
would reserve his remarks until later
in the campaign. After three ringing
cheers for John M. Burke the meeting
was dismissed. The democrats of Cald-
well are grateful to the Boise marching
club for their fine street demonstration.
Chairman Tillinghast, of the demo-
cratic state central committee, informs
The. TRIBUNE that Col. j. w. Red, of
Lewiston, will speak in Caldwell, on
Monday, October 81. Col. Reid is ad-
mitted by all to be the ablest stumper
in Idaho and his meeting can well be
attended by persons Of every political
belief. This appointment of Col. Reid
at Caldwell IS at considerable sacrifice
on the part of the central committee
as his services are in demand at larger
points. With this in view our people
should by. oil means turn out. No man
can attend this meeting without profit.
If the audience that greeted the peo-
pies party county candidates at Ath-
letic halliast Monday nighk WAS srnail,
that fact had no effect ON the Sneakers,
as they waded through the campaign
issues with evident relish. C.. w.
Cooper, presided and introduced M. f.
Eby, candidate for representative. This
gentleman's speech was a carefully pre-
pared effort the effect of which was
married by the fact that it was read
from manuscript. j. w. Brose, Y
rancher from near Hunter spoke upon
the necessity Of water legislation and
the method which his party advocated.
Johnny Davis then roasted both the
old parties and the meeting dismissed.
