D. c. Dunbar, Morris Sommer, ]. B.
Timmony, Frank Margetts and S. A.
Kenner addressed a meeting at Budd
vile last evening. which was we'll at
tended by the Democracy of the Third
precinct.
The audience manifested great deal
of interest in the affair, which was one
of the most successful meetings of the
campaign.
Mr. Dunbar was the first speaker and
confined himself to the national issues
largely. He asserted that those who
We're fighting silver in the days gone by
were now found in the ranks of the
Bryan men, and those who We're most
eloquent in the halls of congress in
other times were now supporting Nc
Kinley and monometallism. Mckinley
has changed his mind. as has Carl
Schurz and many others who might be
mentioned, and why? Mckinley was
presumed to be an honest man, and so
were the others, and why should they
change? Mr.. Dana of the New York
Sun explains this when he said edi-
torially few weeks ago: If you
spectators do not want to be held up
on the highway by the south and west
you should invest your money in real
estate. If Mr.. Bryan is elected, land
will go up and you who are loaning
money at 6 per cent will find that it
has deprecated almost One-half, on the
same relative value of the land
The speaker explained the result of
the decentralization of 1873, and the ben
efits TO the syndicates, monopoLes and
trusts and the injury wrought the far
mer by the adoption of the gold stand
ard. The coercion of railway employees
was touched upon, and the methods of
railway magnates scarified. Having
finished with the financial question, Mr..
Dunbar spoke at some length upon the
Mckinley tariff and the effects upon
the people, the Homestead strike, the
Couer D'Alene lockouts and other
events being cited. He predicted that
the laboring men would form phalanx
this year which would insure victory
to Bryan.
After a song by a Juvenile glee club,
Morris Sommer spoke. He caused some
merriment by his statement that the
Third precinct was the home of two
of the greatest statesmen in the world
Sam GalleaZzi and .Geddes. Morris
caught the crowd with this aIlusion,
but he did not stop there. In we'll
chosen words he explained about Scott's
broom brigade at the county building,
and the expense it was to the taxpay-
ers. Why, if Geddes was to take
" nave the DuHQlnR SCRUBBED
out, it would bankrupt the county 1t
costs $4,000 a year to sweep it, and no
one knows how much it would take to
scrub it"
Sommer then explained that the
proper way to vote was to put the Y
up by the rooster. Il shall put mine
by the bee hive" shouted one ruby
nosed man. "All right" was the re-
tort. "Tayloris sure of one vote
j. B. Timmony confined himself to
county issues, and declared he was not
fighting the broom brigade, but the
men who were responsible for it. At
this point one of the gardeners at the
building declared that Timmony had
slandered him by stating that the three
men on the county end did not do
enough work for one. Timmony de-
clared he had never made the state
ment, but the gravel scratcher wouldn't
be pacified, and had to be sat unon by
a husky man who held him down in
his seat until the wind cooled him
off, when Timmony went on with his
remarks, in 70 wise disconnected. He
lambaSted the commissioners for their
extravaganza and made more amuse-
ment than has been INDUCED in in the
Third for some time
When he finished Frank Margetts

He was followed by s. A. Kenner

addresses. full of ginger and spice. This
closed the meeting.
