A REPUBLICAN RALLY.
Judge caples Talks for Mckinley and
Hobart al the Armory.


Take out the persons on the pubic
piy rolls. aud directly or indirectly
interested in public pap, and there
would not have been many left of his
own political persuasion to hear Judge
Caples at the Armory Tuesday night
in Salem.
As one Republican said: 1T was
not argument we wanted. II was
enthusiasm we went there to get"
People who went-there TO here argu-
ment on the great. gold and silver
question were disappointed. The
speaker took pains to Insult Major d.
C. Sherman, commander of the Grand
Army of Oregon, a lifelong Republi-
can who is now a Bryan man, and the
crowd displayed its enthusiasm"
The meeting at the Armory was at
tended by. a large number Of silver
men who do not relish the way Major
Sherman was treated, and Grand
Army men who were present and in
doubt as to how to vote were obliged
to go away prejudiced in favor of the
cause of free silver, because they had
expected to hear facts and arguments
instead of personal abuse. They will
not so soon again attend upon the
grand Moguls of Goldbugism sent out
for Mckinley.

ted while the Auxiliary spent the
entire afternoon in planning for their
entertainments to be given during Oc-

The entertainments will number two

Two Lives Saved.

had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles OF DR.

cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers, l39 Florida

MIsTAKEN.-It seems the JOURNAL
was misinformed the other evening in
stating that Chester Murphy had been
hazed at Stanford. Word from the
young gentleman himself goes to show
that there was nothing in the report.
The report originated in the mind Of
a mischeivous student who would
likely be quite active in perpetrating
such "jokes" himself. We gladly
make the correction.

Easily Expanded.

"How strange it is" remarked a sill
yer man this morning, "that a few
weeks ago when Councilman Rigdon
addressed a crowded house at the
armory it was reported that the build
ing contained only 600 people while it
is reported the same building held
1000 people last night when Judge
Caples delivered an address. The ex-
pansive power of the old armory is
certainly remarkably" "I'll tell you
how that can be accounted for" said
another Bryan man, "when the gold
bugs got inside they drew in their
horns and sat closer together, thus
making more room" His solution
Of the mystery seems accepted but for
the fact that the rows of chairs were
placed three feet apart.
