party has broken the shackles of partisan
affiliation and has loaned to the epubli-
can party the in: diligence and patriotism
and the loyalty of the best elements of
that great organization help us keep
that great banner as truly democratic as
1t was when carried in the battlehelds so
long ago. Cheers and applause.]
There are men here honoring me with
their presence tonight who know how
much there is in what 1 say when I bear
testimony to the difficulty that confronts
members of that organization in shaking
off party discipline and the control of or.
ganization. Party harness has rested far
more lightly upon the Republican party
than on the old Democr acy. We have
been accustomed to be far more lenient
with our members than that organization
which worships at the shrine of Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
I'VE have reached period and con-
dition where that great political party has
been rent in twain as by the parting of
the veil. 1t is significant sight to the
American people and ought to have tre-
mendous weight in the present campaign.
al ask any man here tonight if there be
one, who is proposing to strike such a
as to vote for the Populistic ticket nom-
mated at Chicago on the ground of bis
being a Democrat ask him to go over
with me the names of the great men who
have shed luster upon the records of that
organization and see with me how many
of then come under what is claimed to be
the Democratic standard. Looking over
the vast expanse of our country to-Iay,
we find more than 800 of the great Demo-
cratic leaders imploring the American
people to rise up in their Loyalty and their
intelligence and put away forever and for
ever the false doctrines now in the Demo-
cratic fold. Tremendous cheering and
shouts of That's so.'

The vast area oil Woodward's Pavilion
was packed early last evening, and the
proceedings had to be delayed while busy
ushers pushed and showed to find room
for the throng that still clamored for a
place within the sound of the speakers s
voice. 1t was certainly an inspiring spec
tacle, a great political event, before word
had been spoken. The great pavilion was
almost bare of bunting or any OF those ac-
cessories that are called in al times to help
to emphasize the spirit of an occasion.
Their very absence, however, in the
presence of this great multitude OF en-
thusiastic people seemed to score its point.
When the speaker, accompanied by
Chairman Frank Mclaughlin of the State
Central Committee, Irving M. Scott and
other leaders, entered the hall the great
audience rose to its feet and nearly lifted
the roof from the building. The cheering
continued long after the party reacned the
platform.
Mr.. Mclaughlin introduced Irving M.
Scott as chairman of the evening. and Mr..
Scott at once rose to an introduction of

He did it we'll. He said that the visitor
was one OF the most distinguished states

HISTORY OF THE ARAao.
First Steel ship Erer Bmttt by the Unton
Iron Works.


The officers of the wrecked Arago were |:
A. Reed, master; c. F. McCollum, purser
F. Warner, first officer; ]. Banks, second
officer; w. E. Brown, chief engineer; F.
Croghan, first assistant engineer; P.
Friel, second assistant engineer; R. Pat
terson, steward Francisco Fernandez
head cook; P. Mus /, second cook.
The Arago was the first steel ship ever
built by the Union Iron Works. She was
of 947 tons gross burden, 200 feet long, 30
feet broad and is feet deep. After being
fitted out in 1885 she was put in the coal
trade between here and Coos Bay and has
renamed on that route ever since Nearly
all the officers have been in her for years,
and they considered her the smartest ship
OF her size on the coast.
Formerly she had no upper cabins
amidships, but when the trade incre ased
the alterations were made, and ever since
she has been favorite with the travelling
public.
The Coos Bay bar has always been coz
sidered the most treacherous on the
coast. II is only a couple of years ago
since the whaleback Wetmore went
ashore on the very same spit that caused
the wreck of the Arago. The Whetmore
was never got off, and the latest news
from the Arago reads: "All that's left OF
tue Stedmef Is TWO SpaTS pTOIeCtlng on the
beach," The tank steamer Bawnmore
also went ashore near the same spit and
went to pieces.
vi all the numerous steamer wrecks on
the coast during the past tew years only
three have been accompanied with loss OF
life. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany's Los Angeles went ashore and eight
lives were lost. The Colma disaster is still
fresh in everybody's mind and now comes
the loss of the Arago.
Pilots and captains OF coasters all report
heavy swell and very heavy current
setting inshore for the past few days. At
times it would be perfectly calm and then
in an hour tremendous sea would get
up. Captain Jordan, the pilot, brought in
the Wennlngton Hall last Monday and re-
ported perfectly smooth bar. An hour
later Captain Freeman brought in the S.
P. Hitchcock and the bar was breaking.
From this fact seamen argue that some
thing similar happened at Coos Bay and
the heavy swell and treacherous inset put
tAe steamer on the north spit.
