BRYAN ADDRESSES AN AUDIENCE OF
WOMEN.-One OF the most unique
features OF the Bryan Presidential
campaign, which took place in Mime
apolis, Monday night, was an address
exclusively to women, in Lyceum
Theater. There were 1000 OF the fair
sex present. Bryan was received with
enthusiasm. When he arrived, about
10 o'clock, the ladies arose en- nsasse,
waved handkerchiefs and flags, clapped
hands and shouted his name. His adj
dress was just such a mastery array
of sound argument as only Bryan can
condense in brief speech, with the
inspiration which such an audience
can give finished oratory.

CHAIRMAN Butler, of the Populist
National Executive Committee, in an
interview at Chicago, Tuesday, stated
that Bryan's chances we're improving
daily. One of the strongest factors in
the Republican campaign, until re-
Gently, is now one of its greatest weak
nesses, the prodigal use of money.
Bryan can be elected without either
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota or Iowa.
Ohio is trembling in the balance. II
the sentiment continues to grow in
our favor in that State at the rate it is
now growing there is no doubt the
State will 60 for Bryan by large ma
jority. In Kentucky there is hard

SHARKEY, the San Francisco pugi-
list, must be regular land shark, il
his present pilgrimage to New York is
fulfilled. He goes to get up q fight

him he will pull his nose, if he refuses
to meet him in the fistic arena. 1t is
safe to say that if Sharkey reaches

IT is surprising how insignificant
public man become with the goldbugs
when he declares for Bryan. A short
time ago a son of Gen. Grant came
out for the Peoples candidate and was
at once crushed by the Oregonian'S
remark that he was no great shakes
no how, and now it is brother of late
President Garfield who feels the weight
OF that luminaries' ponderous body for
the same offense.

w. III. WOODRUFF, of the Peoples
Store, Tacoma, has just returned
from three months trip East, and
he says that he purchased a cotton
dress Fabric in New York for 8 cents
a yard that during the war sold for
$1.10 per yard. While much of this
decline may be attributed to improved
and expeditions means of manufac-
ture the great cause is the demone-
tization of the unit Of value that had
maintained stability of prices ever
since our government was established.

The Amende,

A few days ago the Olympia Theater
bill poster secured an order through
our local MARK Hanna" for posting
200 "quarters," announcing the meet
ing of the "filled cheese" Democrats
in the opera house tomorrow after
noon. After the posting had been done
the bill was promptly paid by Mark.
These facts leaking out, it became a
matter of jest and banter, and the
general belief was expressed that a
common interest must have suggested
the use of the same astute organizer
and campaign manager for the promo
ton of an object of mutual concern to
Republicans straight and Republicans
OF the Jack variety, which was simply
to advance the political fortunes of the
tin-joss who sits on the back porch at
Canton.
1t was not supposed for an instant
that there was anything connected
with the transaction that required
concealment or that needed explana-
ton. 1t was regarded simply as q
union OF forces, openly made, to &C.
complish a common object, in which
both so-called parties had an equal
and mutual interest.
What was our surprise, therefore
to receive call last Tuesday from Mr.
Faulkner, who seems to be managing
the "flling" of the cheese in this
county, to insist that the money paid
for bill posting did not come out Of
the original Mark Hanna's try.kettle
that it was collected by himself in this
city and it took him only few min.
utes to collect enough to pay the ex.
penses OF the whole local Jack Repub.
lican campaign. This is probably
true, for the movement belongs to
that character to which the lugubrious
refrain applies
Oh! I'm so soon to be done for
OH what was begun for?"
If there is anything. however, that
We abhor, it is misrepresentation, and
We hasten to explain that the money
paid by Mr.. Filley, Chairman of the
Republican County Central Commit
tee, was from funds collected by Mr..
Faulkner and did not come out OF the
Hanna "barl;" that Mr.. Faulkner
used the Republican machine simply
for convenience and economy, as it
would have cost much more to have
bad the posters distributed by special
messengers than by the henchmen
who are now perambulsting the coun-
ty engaged in party service. In re.
ply to tho inquiry. Why had he not
applied to Mr.. Eckert, the People,
Committee Chairman" he naively
remarked, "Oh, he would not have
done it. He is not in sympathy with
our object" Now we sincerely hope
nobody will blame Mr.. Faulkner and
his corporal's guard for any act OF
which they are not guilty. So we re-
capitulate:
The cost OF bill posting did not come
out of the original Mark Hanna's sack.
1t WAS placed temporarily in the
little Mark Hanna's sack so as to
economically meet certain expenses Of
the Jack Republican campaign.
1t was feeling OF sympathy as to q
common object, the unfolding o.
"sound money" by election of the
enemy's standard bearer, that ZEN.
dered this plan feasible and prompted
this "unholy alliance"

Republicans at Delphi.

At Delphi, the other night, Mr..
Faulkner, the Republican candidate
for County Attorney, was asked sew
eral questions, and his invariable re-
ply was, in that suave, childlike and
bland way of his, that he would an.
swer them later on. This kept his
audience in state OF expectancy till
the close of his address, but what was
their surprise to find that the later
on" was like the algcbraic 4, an un.
known quantity, which in thi. in.
stance failed to develop. After the
meeting was over, he said in explana-
ton, that the questions involved propo
sitions OF party faith with which he
Was not in accord, and that he did
not want to be held responsible for
such vagaries and mistakes as hi.
party might commit.
This necessity for candidates to
repudiate their party platform was
made still more apparent when Mr.
Linn, the candidate for Representa-.
tive took the stand. He is s man O
ingenuity and craft. He believes in
" foraging on the enemy" in politics
the same as in actual battle on the
red field of courage. He wants votes
and is determined to get them, il
assimilation will affect that object
His first plan was to chang up" a
the Bryan Rogers headquarters anc
assure its members that he was al hear
with them although his lips were sealet
10y party dictum. When the STAND
ARD prodded that air bubble, he built
himself little individual platform
embracing some very radical Populis
tic ideas, and has been showing it be-
fore the eyes of small audiences in
the country, with the hope that, Xix.
the fly-paper sold by druggists, it will
entrap a few struggling voters.
One point that gentleman tried tc
make was the injustice of allowing
pauper immigration to this country
without any admission that it hat
been prohibited by the government,
several years ago, or admission tina,
the paupers within our domains were
made 80 by the crime of 1878. Mr.
Olsen, one OF Mr.. Inns auditors
fairly knocked him out by the query
Has not the foreign capitalist done
infinitely more harm to our country
than the foreign pauper7" He said
he did not know, nor did he care
whether it was so or not.
This boomshell seems to have had
a disastrous effect on the party mana
gers, for the meeting broke up, with.
out affording Hopkins, the candidate
for Auditor, an opportunity to parade
his " cooked" figures, by which the
county's expenses are apparently re
duced several thousand dollars per
annum. Mr.. Smith was likewise
shut out from explaining how he
would endeavor to raise the large
amount of revenue necessary to STOP
the annual deficit by a reasonable
valuation on property for assessment
Probably it is rs well, for neither oil
these candidates OH the Republican
ticket is able by juggling to deceive
the people in this canvass.
From this the reader is able to size
up the vest-pocket statesmen that
are now travelling around giving
Punch and Judy" performances at
every cross-road.

A GAME OF BLUFF.-The campaign,
under Mark Hanna, as was expected,
is rapidly developing into a grand
game of bluff. With a ten million
dollar backing, and more promised,
there is enough left to get up quite a
spirit of braggadocio for the China can
didate at Canton. Offers to bet are
consequently frequently made, with a
chief reliance placed upon the inabil-
ity Of the Peoples supporters, who
have been UNANIMOUSLY robbed of prop
erty and money by the gold standard,
to cover any bet, and the loss falling
upon the corruption fund if the bet is
by some means taken and lost. "I'll
bet" is the FOOLS argument and the
goldbug's bluff; it is intended simply
to bolster up a cause, that is on the
decline, and is the heroic remedy de-
signed to kill or cure.

A Sample Republican Meeting.

The Nympidn bases hope of sue
cess in Thurston county in the fact
that " from two to four meetings are
held each week in various parts of the
county" Now it strikes all ordinary
observer that if any reliance is to be
placed upon the temper of the people
from their conduct at these meetings,
they are conducive OF anything but
hope.
If they are not "frosts" to Republi-
can anticipations, in nine meetings
out of ten, they are at least lukewarm
and tame affairs compared with the
rallies of the Peoples Party. Take for
instance, at chance, the meeting Tues.
day night at Belmore. The audience
was composed almost exclusively oil
silver men-indeed it is said there are
not more than three goldbugs in tina,
district.
Col. Owings was the chief speaker
and made the assertion with charac.
teristic goldbug assurance that the
moneyed-power had never secured
class legislation. A farmer present
MIR. Clough, wished 10 ask question
and was 1" sat down upon" by the Col
onel with the demand that he remain
quiet and he (Owings) would instruct
him. After a still further emphasis O
the position that no trust legislation
had been asked OF Congress by cor
porations, Mr.. Clough again insisted
upon enlightenment, and was per
mitted to ask if the Reilly bill, fol
funding the Union Pacific indebted
ness was not class legislation, when
the redoubtable Colonel declared tina,
he did not know anything about 6
Reilly bill and did not believe there
had been such bill before Congress
Mr.. Clough quietly took his seat with
the remark that he thought that some
of our Republican leaders needed " ed
ucation" more than those they were
assuming to instruct.

-Four Suits by the Receiver of the N. p.
Clarke Company.
ST.. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 25.-The
heavy suits to the number of four,
brought by Assignee Kells, in the mat
ter of the assignment Of N. P. Clarke
& Co., for the purpose Of recovering
from alleged preferred creditors, have
been commenced. All will necessarily
be tried in Stearns county, and the out
look is good for a continued litigation
The complaints have been drawn in all
OF the cases, have been served and the
service has been acknowledged by the
defendants in each case. Answers have
been filed in two Or three of the actions
and it is not improbable that the May
term Of the Stearns county district
court will be the time for the prelim-
lnaries in the actions The reason for
bringing the several actions in this
county is from the fact that provision
in the statute has been discovered
wherein to make any judgments Sc
cured valid, against the defendants, it
requires that the original actions must
be brought in the county where the
transfers were made.
The smallest case of the four involves
transfers covering $52, 900, and the 9TH
ers swell the aggregate to nearly half a
million.
