Silver Certificates.


Hon. George Turner, in speech at
Ellensbu-gh Saturday night, before a
large and enthusiastic audience, paid
a glowing tribute to the worth OF Hon.
John r. Rogers and placed P. G. Sulli-
van in the category of railroad monopo-
list tools in the State. For the past year
said Judge Turner, this State has been
the worst ring-ridden State in the
Union, and the election OF p. G.
Sullivan will continue to keep it so.
His remarks on the silver question
we're logical and forceful, and the
bursts Of applause he received showed
that the sentiment of the people was
with him. He closed his address with
an appeal to the voters to throw off
their partisanship and vote for
principle; to vote their sentiments re.
CARELESS of the declarations OF their
party. They owed no allegiance to a
party that swerved from the path of
right and upheld the principles OF an
English policy.
Gov. Pennoyer, OF Oregon, prophe-
sizes that Mckinley will get less than
$500 plurality in Multnomah county,
and that Bryan will carry the State by
a large majority.
About 800 Silverites were in pro-
cession at North Yakima, Friday night.
Five hundred OF them carried torches.
At Summer, the goldbugs attempted
q big rally last week, and % people re-
sponded and were present when the
and meeting was called to order, but
ID Chat unfortunate number again)
when the meeting closed.
The goldbug papers all come big"
with stereotyped supplements of cor
poration trash, furnished by Wall
streets free OF all expense.
Walla Walla had the largest Bryan
demonstration, last Friday night, ever
held in that city by any political
party. Hon. John r. Rogers spoke to
an immense throng, and the Statesman
says, created an excellent impression.
The Bryan club of the county now
numbers 1000 votes.
In scent review of the political
situation in Washington, w. C. Jones,
candidate for Congress on the Peoples
party ticket, has the following cheer
ing words for the friends OF bimetal-
lism and William Jennings Bryan:
1 have made six campaigns in this
State before, but the present campaign
is so different from all preceding ones
that it is hard to compare them. In
former campaigns our difficulty has
always been to fill moderate-sized hall.
In this the difficulty has been to find
halls big enough to accommodate the
crowds. Out OF thirty meetings have
addressed this fall, in all but two in
stances large numbers we're unable to
secure access to the hall. The Nc
Kinleyites concede that Stevens coun-
ty will 60 to for Bryan, and our
people claim that it will 60 6 to l. In
Walla Walla county a majority of all
the voters belong to the Walla Walla
Bryan club, and many, more are quiet
ly supporting him, who are prevented
from joining the club by business con-
siderations. Columbia cou MY is closer
but we will carry it by from $50 to
300. Garfield county will go 2 to l
for Bryan. We will carry every coun-
ty west of the Cascades except San
Juan and Pacific, which may give
small majorities for Mckinley. Some
of the larger counties on the other side
will dispute honors with Stevens and
Spokane, notable Whatcom and Sno-
homish.
If "clubs were trumps, what a
