sengers on board. The GAZETTE m,n
Counted all but one aud he kept displaying

ma Ks any difference.
| Like the atmosphere in great thunder
storm imbusd with electricity was tie at
mosphere OF the repuh.ican-laden ira n
charged with ,husia>in and before We
reached Phi omath it had .,ain.'' almost a
white heat, and as the bel. al the engine
rang out "Protecti"u!' "McKiries liar.

two clubs marched to the cul.ege and more
beautiful torchlight procession or more ell =
thusiastic the GAZETTE man Lever SAW. AT
the college chapel door we stopped III
amnz .ment and will tell our readers wh%t
we saw before entering First, four of Phi
inmaths beautiful little girls stood dealing
ont bou !eniers to the voters they came
in On their lovely white costumes Were
written "Pretection' Oh two OF them and
Nj OK inley" ON the other two. Their
names were jessie Buny, Grace Boles,
Lydia Kisor and Lucy Wyatt. The walls
were covered with national colors in neatly
arranged groups. Enthusiastic patriotism
could not have been other than greatly ell
HANGED by the presence of Lincoln, Grant.
Mckinley, Garfield and Harrison by large
PORTRAITS. Written over the speakers
stand were the words, Protection to
American homes and American Industries.
All this aud more, for the sweet odor of
profuson of llIacs and other beautiful flow
ers placed intevery available place Imbued
enthusiasm Through all five seiises, seeing,
smelling, hearing, feeling and even tasting.
Before tue GAZETTE man had been enabled
to make these nasty stcnographic notes he
was iostled from side to eide and found him
self luckily in chair near the speakers
stsud, aud wherever there was room for a
man to stand or sit, on the floor or other
wise. one ii not more was trying to make
himself comfortable and besides, rs many
more we're turned away from the door.
With great effort the chairman, Mr.. r.
A. Loggan, quelled the enthusiasm to per
nit the orchestra to begin the entertain
msnt, which was followed by quartette by
the Blondes, already very favorabiy known
to our readers.
Toibert Carter was introduced and told
the audience how he had changed his mind:
Il want to be elected and have d chance to
i bsa
gond people of the state of Oregon whom l
love" He believed III ''Lincoln republi-
cauisn, Grant republicanisln, Garfield re
publicanism and Mckinley republicanism." "
{Great appiause.) At the close of his re-
marks Bill HAIRLESS could keep still no
longer and proposed three cheers for this
speaker, and we could hear victory for MIR.
Carter echoed thereby.
Miss Anna Samuels, of the Auxiliary
cinb, sang a solo in her usual sweet way and
added a new laurel by answering an en-
Core.
The Introduction OF Mr. ]. Fred Yates
brought forth the second outburst ot entheai
shouts and ne delivered twenty minute
address, every word of which proclaimed
liberty and patriotism, adding fuel to the
burning enthusiasm.
Prof. R.,s4bronk with his cornet was
called to repeat his solo and afterwards
showered with b"quets in profusi"n, and
the orchestra played another selection.
which it Is not necessary to say was excal
lent. Miss Jennie Gellatly, always at
home as soloist, sang and resang lovely
selection.
Hon George Waggoner hurled torpedpes
right and lett into the democratic ranks for
!. half hour, Lack of organization. he said,
has Eeen the cause of republican defeat, de
pending entirely upon the good Judgment OF
citizens in voting it's principles, whilst de
mocracy has won only by concerted aud
systematic organlzatlon. He ikened the
democratic party toa blind Sampson, VINO
was afraid to take out the pillars of iron
and graniLe-American protection. upon
which American pr *perity is hu t. con,
Guiding that Sampson" would soon tie sent
forth to better, hut more humble life.
The Blonde q art tt: was again called.
which was intend. d to close. the r gram,
but an entheal audience would not have ii
so. but called upon r. F. Holm. nominee
for school superintendent, HeI r. k"ri-
hauer, npmnee clerk, Jadge Hnfford,
Mr.. Clark, Geo. omith, MIR. Cooper, and
Mr. Bristnw, al "f whom replied briefly,

Col. K lsa was called: 20 yes. yes.
it is now over thirty years since L began
republican party, and like old whiskey 1t
gets better with age" The colonel soon
found himself into an enthusiastic tariff
speech, but the lateness of the hour, he
said. made it necessary for him to cut it
very short.
The orchestra played selection especi.
ally dedicated to democratic candidates.
closing the program with, HE got 1t where
the chicken got the ak.
Cheeer after cheer went up; enthusiasm
pura reigned supreme from that time until
midnight, when all went to the ar-is OF
Morpheus wiser and better prepared to cast
a vote than ever.
