senator

Wednesday was a perfect autumn day,
and people came from twenty-five miles
away to hear Senator Kyle. Every chair
that could be gotten into the opera house
was filled and from fifty to a hundred
stood all through the ninety minutes
talk. No speaker that ever visited Kim
ball faced a finer audience and the large
number OF ladies was particularly MOTTO
able. Largo delegations wer present
from Chamberlain and Pukwana. Tho
speaker confined himself almost wholly
TO the money question, touching briefly,
but very %pertinent!y and pointedly. the
tariff and he spoke, he said, not from
a party standpoint but upon the broad
plain of citizenship as against British
assertion. The briefest synopsis Of his
speech would take more space than we
have at hand, suffice to say that it was
the most telling and eff. ctive address
from the silver standpoint ever delivered
in Kimball and undoubtedly made new
converts to the cause as well as adding
fresh encouragement to the friends of
white metal.
Senator Kyle was driven to Chamber
lain in the evening. where he held a re-
ception.
