The gathering at Odd Fellows
ball Friday night was the largest
aud most enthusiastic meeting that
has taken place in Mountain Home
during this campaign.
The meeting was presided over
by f. NJ. Wolf, who introduced
first Hon. f. B. True. Democratic
candidate for Congress. Mr.. True
is not an eloquent or flowery speaker,
but he is a gentleman of high cul-
ture and extensive information.
He spoke mainly upon the tariff
and silver questions and made some
effective hits against the G. o, p
showing up its Inconsistencies and
deception.
Hon. John NJ. Burke then took
the stand amid great APPLAUSE and
held the close attention of the as
semblage for fully an hour. He
confined his remarks principally to
State issues, and pictured to the
audience the present Republican
State officials as reeking with cor
ruption, deceit and treaehery TO the
people. He condemned Willis
Sweet for his Incidence in Congress
and allowing the Washington con-
gresham to secure the paying out
of large sum of money in that
State to the Ceur d'Alene Indians,
when it should have been disbursed
in Idaho. He censured the State
officials for their acts during the
past two years in the most scathing
language and characterized the
martial law policy of the Repbli-
cans as an outrage and a shame.
He pronounced the statement that
he was in sympathy with the mine
owners of the North as the basest of
untruths and said that he was a
friend to all labor organizations, as
his acts for over twenty seven years
would attest. He displayed in
most hideous form the conduct of
Moody and Harroun in their fraudu-
lent Idaho Educational Bureau"
and showed how they had swindled
thousands of poor women in the
east who were anxious TO better
their condition by coming to Idaho
for the purpose of teaching schools.
Unlike Mcconnell, he did not beg
and implore voters to stand by him,
but simply asked their support
provided they thought him the best
man for the position of Governor of
Idaho. His remarks were enthusi-
astically received and we believe he
made many friends for the De-
mocracy.
]. III. Wickersham candidate for
Secretary of State, was next called
upon. lie said he did not propose
making a speech-he only desired
to exhibit himself that the people
might see what kind of a hair-pin
he was. Yet before taking his seat
he had delivered himself of a pretty
little speech which was we'll received.
Chas. M. Mullen of Boise then
took the rostrum and made an
address replete with new ideas and
unanswerabIe argument which
brought forth much applause. He
showed up the great school land
steal in Idaho Of the Republicans
and warned the people against the
perpetuation of the present law if
they desired the school funds of
Idaho to remain plethoric-for the
school lands we're rapidly being
stolen from their children by the
unprincipled Republicans now in
power. Mr.. Mullen is miner and
a wide-awake. forcible speaker and
he knocked McConnell's pretty mica
story into smithereens. By his
voluntary assistance he is doing the
cause of Democracy much good.
After the speaking a social hop
was INDUCED in and a very enjoya-
BILE time experienced by all present.
Most assuredlv Friday nights
Democratic rally was a decided
