siastically received. John Il. Mitchell
was at his best and brightest and mad,
not only the speech OF the evening
but OF the campaign. He held the

and was frequently and enthusiastic.

Gus, logical and concise, and made al
most excellent impression on all who
heard him. Rainier will always

REPUBLICAN.
Saturday evening about fifty, great
many OF whom were silver men, gath
cred to hear the Republican glce club
ANA Col. Owings and Hon. J. OBJ.
Scohcy. Our local Mark Hanna re-
qucsted that the audience refrain from
asking the speakers any questions.
MIR. Owings characterized the union
forces rs dcmagogucs, hot for office,
who were gathering the forces of repu-
diation and anarchy for an assault
upon civil liberty, and that the Rcpub-
lican party kept coming silver as long
rs they could force it upon the people.
He Is strong on "want of confidence"
He is afraid of demagogucs who want
office, and those who heard him speak
thought "big demagogy for little
office" Mr.. Scobey gave the Populists
the credit of knowing their own plat
form, which is more than can can be
said of some Republicans. As he con-
fined himself principally to the money
question he didn't make much of a
sensation, as the Republicans want
tariff. That is what Hanna has prom
lscd them and they believe in Hanna.
He gave some two hours to the finan-
cial question, and the tariff, which he
called the create ISSUE" some two
minutes. BIGE EDDY.

WHY is the report of the State
Board of Equalization not available
to the public? They completed their
labors last month, and there is no
reason why the State Printer should
not have turned out the work in two
ar three days. Is the hornets nest
that Robert Bridges is stirring up in
culcating policy of suppression, di-
gression and silence? Is there any
thing to cover up in perpetuation of
that infamous policy by which corpor-
ate wealth was enabled to escape its
Just share of taxation?

A WHITE CHINAMAN.-The Olyn,.
plan says that there is but one China
man in the United States who will
vote, and it of course claims his vote
for the tin-jOss at Canton. Our con.
temporary is slightly in error. We
have Chinaman in this city, who
is as white and intelligent rs anybody
who will vote. His parents were, how
ever, full-blooded American citizens,
and it was not his fault they were
away from home when the important
event of his nativity occurred. We
are afraid that he too will vote for the
tin-god. All Sam!

No "FAT" FOR OUTSIDERS. - Our
local Mark Hanna had arranged free
excursion to-day to Seattle to hear
Ben Butterworth sing peans to Nc
Kinley, but it seems that hitch has
occurred in the proceedings. He had
very naturally thought that the ex-
penses should be paid out of the cor
ruption fund apportioned to King
county, instead of the "dab" thrown
to Thurston, but Seattle Republicans
say they need three or four times the
amount contributed from the Canton
try-kettle to elect a single man on the
goldbug ticket in King, and very nat
urally decline to spend what they have
in steamboat charter for the mere
purpose of using visitors to count
from. The boys" are of course dis
appointed, as many who at home wear
the Bryan badge had decided to 90,
just as they have to Canton the pact
few months, as legitimate means of
" foraging on the enemy"

Gems from Bryan's Speeches.

The gold standard means half time
in the factories and double time on
the farm.
If you ask me what the campaign
song ought to be this year, will tell
you there is no better than "Home
Sweet Home"
We find against us those who will
contribute to the corruption fund
we find those with us who have no
money with which to corrupt anyone.
We have opposed to Ills every man
who has attempted to destroy labor
organizations; We have with lis those
who have aided labor to better its
condition.
If Presidents of railroads will man.
ipulate votes before election, they
will manipulate men after election.
What is the use of opening the
mills unless you first assist the people
to buy what the mills produce?
Show me man who makes money
out of legislation and l will show you
a man who abuses the people when
they want legislation for themselves.
A financial system that commend;
itself to the wealthy only, is curse to
the land.
Show me a man who has made
money out of unjust laws, and he viii
deny legislation can be of benefit t.
anybody.

A Challenge From III. l.. Forrest.
Mr.. EDITOR:

a CnalIenRe from II. l.. Forrest.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The Peoples Party, Democrats and
Free Silver Republicans, are so well
pleased over the result of my joint dis
cussion with Mr.. Fisk at Yelm on the
Goth inst, that l have agreed to say
on their behalf that will arrange for
a joint discussion at any suitable point
within Thurston county between how
and election with any State CAM
paign speaker of the Republican party.
AS the Olympidn seems confident from
its late utterances that they can do
us up" they will certainly not object
to this invitation. Respectfully,
H. l.. FORREST.

friends q conversation that took place
between DIR. c. A. Mead, of Bucoda,
and myself, on the Goth day of Sep
TENDER, 1896, at C. C. Cases drug
store. DIR. Mead said: "Loggers have
had too much wages in this country,
according to other things, especially
teamsters, when they got 1925 per
month. 1t was more than they should
have had" In reply to him 1 asked
"What do you think about office
holders, working eight hours a day?
Do they get too much wages?" DIR.
Mead: "No; remember they have to
give heavy bonds. When farmers
got 500 ton for hay, it was more than
any one could afford to pay"

Mr.. EDITOR:
F. Il. Merrill spoke here last even

ing the few weak arguments which
were advanced by Prof. Canoe, Tues
day evening. The Professor was dis
appointment to the people, his speech
being mostly a rehash of P.-L editor
ials. He was the first and only
speaker here who has had the dam
phoolishness to impugn Mr.. Bryan's
motives. One or two more like Davis
and Merrill will knock Sullivan into a
cooked hat. Our glee club is now

place at Tenino last night. Prof.
Brintnall and T. j. Miller addressed
the meeting at length and short adj
dresses were made by Robt. Graham

kinley button was removed and the
enthusiasm of the meeting was inn
mense from start to finish, contrasting
sharply in this respect with the feel
ing manifested at the Mark Hanna
meeting addressed the evening before
by Mr.. Scobey and others. Over 300
were in attendance. The Bryan peo-
pie i'll this precinct are still receiving
accessions and will give good ac-
count of themselves on the Sd of No
vember.

REPUBLICAN MEETING AT BELMoRE.
The Republicans had another grand
rally" at Belmore Tuesday evening, at
which three goldbugs and about forty
Bryan men were present. Mr.. Faulk-
nor, the candidate for Attorney, kept
the babies quiet by drawing funny car
toOns on the blackboard and trOtting
the :" tOotsy-wootseys" on his knee,
while Mr.. Linn, the aspirant for Rep
resentative, pounded the air in the
vain endeavor to show that he could
serve the people as Republican in a
Legislature that will be under the
domination of the Peoples party. The
speaker failed to perform like
friendly service for Mr.. Faulkner,
when he "took the stand" for his first
words seemed to be the signal for half
a dozen ours to begin a prolonged
howl, which in its funereal cadence, re-
semblcd the death-knell of an expiring
party. After he got under way, how
ever, it was fair sailing, for Mr.. F.'s
speeches are simply oily CANNON,
which flows smoothly as molasses
from jug, without any appearance of
oratorical costiveness. He, however,
ran against snubbing-post when he
thoughtlessly uttered the name of
Bryan. Immediately flag was
waved in the center of the hall bear
ing the legend Bryan, the Friend of
the People" and at one side the Err
dminer's cartoon of Mckinley and
Herr Most engaged in game of see
saw on gold plank was prominently
displayed. The boys will have their
fun, you know, and political senti-
ment just now is like fire-cracker
with its fuse fixing and ready to ex-
plode ut any moment.

AN ACKNOWLEDGED TRIUMPH
Complete Victory for the Knight
of the People I'm the Contest at

A Complete Victory for the Knight
of the People I'm the Contest at
Helm.
A joint debate, arranged by the re-
spective committees of the two parties,
and which was intended TO some degree
to be decisive, took place Tuesday
evening at Yelm, between II. l.. For
rest on behalf of the people, and J. p.
Fisk representing the goldbugs. The
question presented was "The Finan-
cial ISSUE" which of course opened up
the whole subject of political conten-
ton.
The building where the debate oc-
CURED, which will hold probably 800
people, was crowded, and about as
many more people listened to the
speakers from the outside. Mr.. For
rests remarks were wildly cheered, the
enthusiasm becoming so intense at
times that the Chairman was com.
PEELED to ask the audience to refrain
from applause for fear of safety OF the
building.
Mr.. Fisk, though clever in the pre-
sentation of his subject was a disap-
pointment to the goldhugs in the
audience, for they had not counted
upon the inefficiency OF their syndicate
arguments when arrayed in the light
OF reason. 1t was soon shown that
their champion was no match for his
antagonist, armed with the weapons OF
a quarrel just. Mr.. Fisk said the hard
times were caused by the agitation OF
the silver men. He finally got ratified,
and abandoning the financial question
began to abuse the character of John
L. Rogers, candidate for Governor.
Mr.. Forrest in replying casually in
timated that Fisk should be careful in
remarks on Rogers, as the latter, when
elected Governor, would be in posses,
sion of the pardoning power.
The unequal contest was closed in a
fifteen minute speech by Mr.. Forrest,
and not even the presence of the Nc
Kinley glee club was able to raise the
depressed spirits OF the Republicans
present. The victor received an ova-
ton as the Ben Hur of a match that
was to set the seal OF favor upon the
cause advocated by the successful con-
testant.
