Maj. Anderson spoke next, and said
he was greatly pleased to hear these
discussions from those who were not
in the habit of talking politics all the
time. Some say got out of the popu-
list party just at the wrong time, but
II want to say to my good but mis-
guided friends that got out just the
right time to prevent being completely
swallowed by the democratic anacon-
da." The major said he hoped to have
an opportunity to speak to those with
whom he had lately affiliated, and who
are permitting themselves to be thus
swallowed by the same old democratic
party that they had always fought.
He said it was 1.-The same old party, the
same old mule,' and simply because
they had grabbed hold of another
straw to save themselves did not in
the least change their raiment.
The republicans will have their first
rally next Saturday night. when Hon.
Coe l. Crawford and others will speak.

Will Wyatt Returns From England.
w. Y. Wyatt returned Wednesday
from two months absence on a visit
to his parents at Gloucester England.
1t has been fourteen years since heleft
his home for this country, hence his
visit was intensely enjoyable. He says
that times are unusually prosperous
there, especially i'll manufacturing dis
trlcts. and have been ever since this
country changed from it's republican
protective policy to the democratic
methods: that the people over there
are convinced of the reason of their
unusual prosperity, placing the en-
tire cause to Il lack of the United States
continuing it's protective policy with
firmness. He says when we come to
talk about issues in politics he never
was more impressed and firmly CON
vinced that this country needs u firm,
strong protective tariff moro than any,
thing else to revive good times, give
employment to labor and make our
country prosperous. Mr.. Wyatt is a
bright, observing man and he seems to
be very firmly impressed with the con-
clusions he has arrived at after care
full observations of the results in this
country and abroad. Mr.. Wyatt had
the delightful pleasure of returning to
this country on the steamer "St. Louis
which recently broke the record in its
run between Southampton and New
York, making the time in 6 days, 2
hours and "a minutes, leaving there
Aug. l and reaching New York Aug. 6.
The average speed was 2O.S67 knots an
hour. When Mr.. Wyatt came to this
country IA years ago it was on the
ALASKA" which then broke the record,
making the run in days and 2 hours.
This indicates the progress that has
been made in the steamship voyage
in that time. Will says that there was
great interest and excitement among
the passengers, and when they landed
and learned of the record breaking run
that their boat, "St. Louis" had made
over 400 voices rent the air with cheers.
Mr.. Wyatt had grand time and gives
avery interesting account of his travels.
