Judge Carey said. SO far as he knew.
there were only three papers In the
whole district which advocated the rlrc'
ton Of Judge Northup. These papers
aro the Astorian the Orcsonan and the
Telegram An the remainder OF the pa.
pers are In favor OF the slcetioa of Ellis.
The speaker said he was inclined to
tho belief that Judge Northup was mis-

dldnte honest, conscientious and able,
but he thought he was tho nominee of a
dlsgruntlcd crowd. headed ny Mr. Hhr-

crowd. He appealed to everyone TO vote
for Ellis. and said vote FOR Mr. Nor

jority There was not the slightest doubt
but that Ellis would be elected.
Mr.. c. W. Fulton followed Judge Carey
and confined himself to an awfui arraigu'
meut OF the Populists nat money scheme.
Mr. Fulton-strnngc as Il may appear
made an excellent and forcible gold
speech. He did not say very much In
favor OF the gold standard. but what he
did say was all-lmportant He wanted
to know II tho free coinage OF silver
would increase the volume OF currency.
In answer he said Il would not.
Then the Popullsts got II, Mr. Fulton
said their favoritc doctrine was the lssu-
ance OF an enormous quantity OF green
backs The per capita would instantly
be increased to 80. and the government
would loan tho worthless paper to tho
people at a low rate OF intcrest-four per
cent. why charge interest on such
worthless stun? asked the speaker Why
not give every man n printing press ana
let his coin his own money! And then
he told a little story.
He said there was man down at TIL
lamook who built boat on new and
marvellous plan. or course. all boats have
trial trips. and the man from Tlllamook
gave his boat a trial trip. When boats
have trial trips they whlstle-and whistle
a whole lot. The Tillamook man blew
his whistle many times. and every time
he pulled the string the wheels would
run slower But the fellow kept on
whistllng Finally the boat drifted out
over the bar and tug went and picked
Il up. The men on the tug asked the
man what was the matter with his boat,
and he replied:
"oh, there's too much d---d whistle
for the wheels"
And that's just what's the matter with
the Popullsts."
Then he asked how many would like
to see n Popullst In congress as the rep
resentatlve from oregon. There were
more Popullsts than Republicans present
and those persons naturally spoke up.
Then they got II again. The speaker
pictured tho successful populst rushing
to Washington with his long hair 6ow-
ing from his head and his coat tails
flying in the wind. This did not meet
with the approval Of the Pops. and sew
cral walked out.
There was but one candidate for con-
grcss-Ellls. Vote for him, said the
speaker. Mr. Fulton referred to Judge
Northup ns that man NorthuD," but did
not say much about the sound money
candidate Mr.. Fulton's speech was a
red hot one, and the Populists got an
awful raklng over. He concluded his re-
marks by calling attention to the worthi-
ness Of the Republican ticket and asked
the voters to elect McGregor and Parker
to the legislature, as United States
senator is to be elected this year.
Prince Henry Of Prussia, who, to the
surprise OF many Germans, has been sent
TO Moscow to represent tho emperor at
