A TOUR IN OLD YAMHitL,
Bryan Meetings in Towns and School
Houses

: days spent on the historical soil 0
Yamhill county convinces me tha
the movement among the masses o.
the people is growing and very stronE
for bimetalIism. Farmers are travel
Ing with their pockets full Of litera
ture, handing 1t out to whoever they
meet. Farmers are debating the
question at the school houses where
no speakers ever go.
A PIONEER
OF the past was recalled by passing a
residence amid an old oak grove near
Dayton-the residence of General
Palmer, who ran for governor on the
Republican ticket quarter Of CEN
tury ago, and was defeated. His SOD
William still liyes on the old home
stead. His father was farmer and
nan of fine character above reproach.
We also saw the farm home Of DR.. B.
F. Swlck, an old lifelong Republican.
who tells a Bryan campaigner occa-
sionally: "You are right; go ahead"
AT DAYTON
we had very interestiong joint de-
bate with one of the Mckinley
champions of WOodburn, Mr.. Tooze.
He repeated Til Ford's argument that
the debts per capita of the nation
were 800 and the wealth of the ma
S1,1OO. Therefore the more children
a man had the richer, etc. The way
these fellows distribute wealth Is not
alarming poor people so much as as it
is the rich.
Some of the Bryan and Free Silver
workers OF this town are Committee
man r n. Smell, l. E. Fenton, Fl. A.
Bertram, Robt. Earle, VIM. Hibbard,
f. NJ. Crabtree, e. B. Collard, j. w.
Fishburn, j. E. Pemler, s. j. Dunn,
ii. Oliver, Mr.. Tucker, j. Wirff, B. F.
Lewis. These men are in earnest and
will get out the full vote Of the pre-
clnct and see that the vote is honestly
counted.
There was large crowd at the
grove, the band played we'll and the
gold men cheered part of the time.
The ladies present conducted them
selves as usual, with greater modesty
and proprlety than the speakers or
the respective partisans. The ladies
always do. Dayton is Republican
stronghold and some of these may
vote for Mckinley as personal mat |
ter, not because they have any notion
of endorsing the gold standard or vot-
ing down silver as money. en
AT NEwBERG. u
A nine-mile drive to this live town |
brought us to Hotel Newberg, now
kept since three weeks by VIM. Hen |
dershOtt, formerly of Butteville, and
late Democratic county chairman of
Marion county. With Mrs. Hender-
shott, his son Harry, who is student
at the college, and daughters Anna
and Lola, they make everybody feel
at home regardless of politics. Mr..
Hendershott is Bryan man, but his
main platform bis to entertain the
public. Some of the Bryan men
of this town are Hon. o. G. Emery, j.
G. McRae, H. D. Fox, Emmett Dunbar,
Adrian Bowman, Chas. Berry, 1 L.
Myers, G. T. Hardwick, and about
ten more who will read THE JOURNAL
HARD COMPETITION.
The first football game of the sea-
son was billed for the same hour as
the Bryan meeting-Saturday at 2p.
m. The town is strong Republican
and Prohibition precinct. There have
been many meetings of late held by
able speakers. With band and in full
parade and with ribbons flying the
:and McMinnville college
teams marched out TO the gridlron
and left us with about 100 people and
a little blackboard, blazing sun
overhead, and the problems of finance
and piece Of chalk to entertain
them. The football game came out
