Col. W. b. Browne and Captain Plowman
Had n Good Audience.

Wilsonville, Oct. 14.-(Spec.al Core
spondence.) Capt. T. S. Plowman, demo-
cratic nominee for congress from the
Fourth district, and Col. w. b. Browne,
Bryan and Sewall elector for the Fourth
district, spoke here today to a fair sized
audience composed OF democrats popu-
lists, republicans and one or two gold-
bugs, so-called. Their speeches were well
received by all parties.
Mr.. Browne argued that the question
of the gold standard or free silver had
been fought out in the democratic party
and that free silver had won by "a two
thirds majority, and that all loyal demo-
crafts oughs to yield TO the voice of the
majority, lawfully expressed. He argued
moreover, that free silver was democrat
ic, and proved it by quoting from the va
rfous democratic platforms. He appealed
to all democrats not to ruin their party
record by boiting their nominees and
platform; il they did, they would always
regret it. He stated that Kolb was today
% better democrat than Jones, because
Kolb had grievance and Jones had
none. He said he was for Bryan, and
would do everything in his power to eject
him; and he appealed to the populites to
follow Kolbs example and vote for Bry-
an effectively by voting for Bryan and
Sewall electors.
Captain Piowman's speech was prin-
cipally a discussion of the financial ques-
