where was contained such language now
going the rounds of the press as it is
said Blaine delivered himself Of A
party that will do this cannot be right
upon any question, said the speaker
strongly. We must conduct echool-
house campaign throughout the land.
A party must not rule that con-
United States, or threatens a presi-
dent because he orders dispersed mob.
Mr. Hill of Kansas. now teacher at
Hood River, was present and was invited
to speak. He reviewed the financial
history of the nation from 1899. He ex-
posed the platitudes of the Democratic
platform, laid bare their plan of appeal
ing to the lprejudices of the people, and
concluded with a brilliant peroration
that is it as important to respect the finan-
cial honor and the laws of the nation as
strict obedience of the laws beyond
the grave.
Hon. w. r. Ellis arrived about this
time and upon invitation took the floor.
1t is not so much what Mr.. Ellis says
as his manner of saying it which capti-
Yates an audience. His faith in the Re-
publican party is unbounded, and when
4 making speech his eyes are slight with
enthusiasm. His earnestness is conta-
gious, his words magnetic. All within
sound of his voice must pcrforce listen.
He disclaimed any intention of max
/ ing political speech, but said he
hoped at no distant time he might have
the pleasure of addressing many au-
diences in the state. t'I am in hearty
sympathy with the movement to effect
a Republican victory this fall. 1t is fol
the best interests of the people that the
Repu blican party shall succeed. I con
slider that the platform as whole is the
very best of them all. and that it is es
sentially necessary that the party should
succeed. We must not go astray be
cause we disagree on minor points.
10 out of 20 planks are in accord viii
our views we should support the ticket
AS regards the financial plank, it is NOR
important that what money we have go
shonld be put gin circulation than t
bubble about the kind of ofmoney. Wha
is wanted is to restore the names O
laboring men to the pay roll, and whei
Saturday night comes pay them in dol
lars that will be worth their face any
where in the world. I am willing to pi
my faith to the Republican party an
trust them to do the right thing. TIL
candidates on both tickets are me
above reproach in their private lives
1t is therefore not question of men, bu
of principles. shall do ell in my pow
er 10 promote Republican success.
