The entire trip across the mountains was
one vast experience meeting. Tho pvpu.
list contingent had too much 20 say 20
think of salne 20 bed. and they dieiaet
up into little groups OF three 20 Ave. and
from 30. when the train left Seattle. ul.
"a o'eicck this morning. when II reached
Eilenshurg, there was one steady. avers
flowlns and unhrokcn strain OF talk.
Politics as politics was not discussed
There was little said among them as 10
-
OF the conventions. or the prospect % fu-
sion. but the financial question was dis
cussed in all It's bearings. The hueney et
the average ropulist when discussing tha
money question was never better silus-
tFatesf. In each little group one mao would
get the door and hold forth In a steady
stream while the others waited In hreath-
less eagernsss for an opportunity to get
in. A moments pause was fatal 20 thu
speaker. II he turned aside TO get rid 0f
his chew OF tobacco, the quickest of his
auditors would start with his hNie talk.
and the previous speaker would drop back
inta the role of auditor.
Hour after hour dragged by. and there
was no cessation. None OF them seemed
20 get tired Of hearing themselves talk.
and even tho auditors were kept awake
and alert ia tho hope OF getting turn
to talk themselves They were so thor
cughiy talked ont by the time Ellensbnrg
was reached that. as literal fact. thers
have been fewer free silver street corner
speeches made here today than can bs
heard in any hour walking along Second
avenue In Seattle.
or the Pierce county Popuisst delegates
quite nember arrived here hy train at
O'Clock today. with James Hamiltoa
Lewis, the wouid-be fusion nominee for
governor. There were five OF the Demo-
cratic delegates from Tacoma on the train
also. They were A. II. Tftlow. Thomas
Carroll, Assistant District Attorney Rob-
ertson. Judge Stailcup and Steve Juascn.
Mr. Tftlow ls a candidate for the ncmina-
ton for attorney general: Carroll wants
nomination for congress. Robertson also
wants q congressional nomination. As
each OF these gentlemen realizes that his
ambition cannot ba satisfied II any one OF
his colleagues gets anything. the Fierce
county delegation on the ground is divided
into FIVE distinct clinuhs. each OF which
caucuses by itself. and that caucus Is al
ways IN session.
Possibly through having exhausted
themselves in the debates" which took
place on the train. the delegates on tho
ground today arc doing absolutely nothing
in the line OF preparation for the work or
temorraw. The attitude on every hand n
one OF expectancy. They are waiting the
arrival of The fulI delegations. which will
not be. az far as Eastern Warrington II
concerned until = o'clock tonight. and with
Western Washington o'clock tomorrow
