EXCURSION TO TACOMA.
IL the Weather Proves Favorable
Great Crowd WtlIGo,

The people of Pierce county will
formally close the campaign Saturday
night. On that evening both parties
have parades in Tacoma, part of the
time being allotted to each political
organization. The Peoples Party has
made preparations to have the largest
political parade ever seen in the city
of Tacoma, and to that end have ex-
tended an invitation to the supporters
of Bryan and Rogers in Thurston
county to assist in their demonstra-
ton. At the close of the meeting last
night in the club rooms, the matter
was laid before the members of the
club, and it was unanimously voted
to attend. Arrangements so far made
are that the Multnomah, carving the
exeursionists, will leave this city at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, arriving
at Tacoma at 5 o'clock. The Multi
steamer will be held ut Tacoma until
after the exercises of the evening are
over, probably until III O'Clock. Adj
ded to this inducement, is the low fair.
of which everyone can take advantage.
Just think of round-trip to Tacoma
and an opportunity to hear Senator

to that paper in particular and to the
goldbug contingent in general:
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Times this
morning prints a letter from Mr..
Morton Frewen dated at Chicago ex-
pressing confidence in MIR. Bryan cleo
ton: He is certain, he says, that Nc
kinley must carry all seven of the
great central States in order to avoid
being beaten. The Times points out
editorially that their correspondent in
New York, who has hitherto main
tanned that the Republicans are in
little danger of defeat. sends dis
patch to-day admitting that the situa-
ton in Chicago is disquieting.

an address from him on the occasion. 1t

A Tough Experience.

Frank Convey, end man of the Nc
Kinley Glee club, tells this on himself:
"The other night our speakers and
the glce club held a meeting at South
Bay, which was almost exclusively at
tended by Populists. Talk about Pop
ulists being thick! They grow on
bushe: out there. Populists to the
right, Populists to the left, Populists
before and behind us. The meeting
became so chilly for our boys, that 1

my sorrow and soothe my nerves by

tie, l threw it over in the brush. What
was my CONSERVATION to find that l
had hit Pop square on the head and
he jumped up, following Hurrah for
Bryant" 1t didn't take us long to get
out of South Bay after that deal, but
all the way home the "dead wagon "
was saluted by Pops who would Jump
out from behind stumps, clear up to
the city limits, with this Internal veil:

A Waste Of Funds.

The other evening, at the Republi,
can meeting at the theater, the follow
ing colloquy occurred at the parquette
door between an ofiice-holding pet OF
the goldbug State administration and
a silver man:
Goldbug-"The house is awful thin
tonight. What's the Use of putting
up money to hire the opera house
when Columbia Hall or Unity Church
would have done as well?"
Silverite-" True; it does seem to be
a needless waste of money; but you
must not expect the house to do all
the 'drawing'-the ATTRACTION has
something to do with it."
Goldbug-" That's so. We've had
several fine audiences, when men of
extended reputation have spoken"
Silverite-" Yes; but you must have
noted that they were composed largely
of silver men. Mark you knew, took
some exceptions to the enthusiasm
of the audience when the name of
Bryan was incidentally mentioned by
Mr.. Craven"
Goldbug-"So you think we can't
gather full audience without your
assistance?"
Silverite-" That's about the size of
it. You see, sam, the people are not
with the &. o. p. this time. Your party
deserted free silver, and free silver sem
timent has gone with the coinage of
the people, and to use cant phrase,
You're not in it,"
Goldbug-"Pm afraid you're about
right, and that's the reason Pm kick
ing about putting up SO much money
for 'non-essentials.'

WEDNESDAYS MEETING.
a Crowded House Gathers to Hear
Eloquent Speakers.

If the Republicans of Thurston
county could only secure one of the
hearty, prolonged cheers that were
given at the Bryan-Rogers meeting
last night, it might possibly aid in
pulling them out of the Slough OF
Despond" into which they have COM
pletely fallen. Never was such al
amount of enthusiasm crowded into
such limited time before in this city
The usual great crowds which attend
the peoples meetings was out in
force again last evening to hear the
eloquent addresses of Hon. Joseph
S. Allen and Hon. VIM. III. White
DIR. Ostrander presided and in q few
well chosen and appropriate remarks
introduced the glee club, which
started the cheering, and which kept
up at intervals all through the meet
ing. Mr.. Allen then took the plat
form, and was warmly welcomed by
his old friends in Olympia. His
speech was one of the best ever lis
tened to by our people III this or any
other campaign. At times during his
remarks he rose to the nights of clio,
qucncc, particularly in his glowing
apostrophe to the Silver Knight OF
the People, when the immense aud.
fence was swayed to an extent never
before witnessed in this city.
After another pleasing song by the
popular glee club, Mr.. White was in
PRODUCED. His reception was fully as
cordial as that of his fellow speaker
as he is almost as well known in this
city. Mr.. White is an earnest speaker
and his efforts were fully appreciated
by his auditors.
The main part OF Mr.. Whites
speech was directed towards showing
up the political inconsistencies o.
Judge Burke. Those who have any
knowledge OF the speakers command
of language, may realize how little
the subject of his remarks appeared
after Mr.. w. had stripped him of his
cloak of deceit. He showed thai
Burke had never been a Democrat
more than in name, and that his pres
ent campaign is the work Of mere
tool of corporate power.
The speakers remarks were in strik
ing contrast with those of the oman
from Main" who spoke at the theatel
the night before, and as has been TIE
case in this campaign, the argument:
and indisputable facts only were pre-
scented, while the abuse has been alb
sorbed by the opposition.

Another Account OF the Bucoda
MEETING.

Mr.. EDITOR:
James Hamilton Lewis made one of
his eloquent addresses here last night
to an audience which taxed the
capacity of the largest hall in the
town to its utmost. A few Republi-
cans fearing collapse of the building
left before the speaking began, but at
tracted by the irresistible flow of the
ColOnePs eloquence returned, to be
converted from the error of their WAYS.
A large number who could not gain
entrance to the building erected
stages under the windows in order to
hear the doctrines of free silver so
ably expounded.
The hall was gaily decorated with
evergreens, flags and bunting, while
the emblem of Liberty graced the
hands of every enthusiastic supporter
OF the cause. The Bucoda glec club,
assisted by the Bryan glee club OF
TeninO furnished excellent music and
were compelled to respond several
times to prolonged encores.
The Colonies effort has been pro-
ductive of much good, a number OF
voters who have formerly supported
the Republican ticket have announced
their intentions of voting the silver
ticket from Presidential candidate
down to Constable.
While Bucoda has been considered
the Republican stronghold in Thurs.
ton county, the fact still remains that
the silver meetings have been marked
by the largest attendance and great
est enthusiasm, which bespeaks fol
cause glorious victory in November
Respectfully yours,

leading from the door to the speakers
stand, and from the perturbation
manifested by the ladies present
whose sensitive natures are so easily
aroused, the natural conclusion was
that mouse had concluded to escape
the political flood that will soon de-
stroy everything without the ark OF
safety. Soon, however, the cause of
the disturbance was found to be a
small toad, which hoped along till
he had arrived in front of the speakers
stand, where it quietly sat with
blinking eyes until the conclusion of
ne Of Bro. Whites imprisoned
rhapsodies, when, in a clear frog
like voice it emitted a shrill croaking
which sounded for all the world like

interruption may be letter imagined

THE OLD SOLDIERS MEETING.
A Packed House and an En- thusias.
tic Crowd Greets Them.

49, " - OACCsD nCAMs
The old soldiers meeting Saturday
night at the Bryan-Rogers club
rooms, was the banner assemblage Of
the campaign in point of enthusiasm
displayed. The hall was crowded to
its limit long before the hour for COM
mencement of the programme. Veter-
ans OF the war to the number of
thirty-five were seated immediately
fronting the speakers, and the meet
ing was essentially their own. When
the speakers of the evening entered the
hall escorted by the veterans, the en-
tire audience arose to its feet and
cheer after cheer was given them.
Comrade H. r. Hill presided at the
meeting, and after an excellently rem
dered campaign song to- the patriotic
and appropriate air of Marching
Through Georgia" by the glee club
the chairman introduced Villas
Rathbun, who rendered in an excel
lent manner an extract from Bryan's
Chicago speech. Judge Litchenbere
was then introduced and he held the
close attention of the audience fol-
over an hour, being frequently inter.
rupted by demonstrations of approval
At the conclusion of Judge Litchen.
berg's address, the glee club rendered
another campaign song, which was
heartily applauded, aud then Judge
Winsor was introduced. Judge Win
sors remarks seemed to strike re-
sponsive chord in the large audience
from beginning to the end of hi,
speech, as the applause was as times
almost deafening. The numerous
telling points made by Judge Winsol
were too frequent to demand detailed
mention here. Another song by the
glee club and repeated cheers for the
head of the ticket closed most sue
cessful meeting.

TRAGEDY AT SHELTON.
Geo. vining Kills james Jones and
Then shoots Himself.

Then shoots Himself.
SHELTON, Oct. pa frightful trag-
edy occurred on one of the principal
streets Of this city last night, late in
the evening, in which two loggers from
the Williamson camp met with I'M
timely deaths and another man, whose
name could not be learned, was shot
through the arm. 1t appears that
George Vining and the unknown man
had had quarrel early in the evening,
during which Winnings lip was badly
bitten by his antagonist. Vining was
enraged beyond control at his treat
ment, and went home, secured his
rifle and returned to the scene of the
quarrel. Vining took up position
opposite the front door OF saloon in
which he supposed his antagonist was,
and waited his chance for revenge.
James Jones, an intimate friend of
Vining, was the first man to emerge
from the saloon, and Vining took de-
liberate aim at him and fired. His
shot proved fatal to Jones, who was in.
stantly killed. The next man to
emerge from the saloon was the man
for whom Vining was looking, and he
again fired, this time striking his VIC
tim in the right arm.
The effect of the shot was to knock
the wounded man down. Vining
then evidently realized that he had
shot his friend, and thought that he
had killed his antagonist. so turning
the weapon on himself he finished
his work by killing himself with the
still smoking weapon. The shooting
was the elimination OF row due
solely to the men being under the in
fiuence OF liquor. The wounded
mans arm has been amputated, and
he will he brought to this city to-
morrow to be placed in the hospital
for treatment.

the speakers at the meeting last night,
incidentally remarked of the Oiunl-

speech, that it was the most admirable
"bit of irony he had ever read. 1t was
indeed admirable, and for the reason
that the dnin,us came from the heart.

Voters OF the county are urged to
go to the polls early to cast their
votes. 1t has been ascertained that
the supply of ballots in some of the |
remote precincts will be extremely |
limited, and they are liable to become
exhausted before the latter part of the |
day. Particularly is this the case in
settlements tina: have grown in the |
past two Hears. The law requires
that only twice as many ballots shall
be supplied as there were voters at the
last election, when when several bal
lots have been destroyed by voters in
a small precinct, it cuts down the
original number to dangerous mar
gin. The only way in which to cir
cumvent any difficulty of this char
acter is to go to the polls early and
cast your vote.

sadness soon settled about the soul of

An amusing little episode occurred
at the Bryan meeting Wednesday
night. During the speaking a slight
rustling was heard in the long aisle,
