The political meeting held at Opera
House, following the raising of the Nc
Kinley and Hobart flag on Tuesday even
ing last, was well attended. The large
hall was full, and ladies were present in
unusually large numbers. The band dis
coursed popular music. The meeting was
called to order by Hon. w. w. Miles,
president of the Republican League, who
introduced d. M. Camp of Newport, who
spoke briefly but well on the general con-
ditions of the campaign. Mr.. Camp was
followed by Ex-Gov. Dillingham;, who
took up the two metals, currency, finance
and the Democratic platform. The ad-
dress was a candid, plain and intelligent
treatment of the subjects named, and
great amount of interesting and useful in
formation was impaired The speaker is
of such standing in the State that his
words are taken as truth. He abuses no
body and let's plain statements Of facts do
the work. He showed that the very things
which the repu blicans are now struggling
for were among the chief opinions and be-
liefs in the early times of democracy. He
pointed out the changes which had been
made in the currency laws and showed
that the condition now existing between
gold and silver never existed before The
commercial value of the silver was never
SO low as at present, and the quantity of
the metal so large. He stated that the
campaign is advancing satisfactorily, and
that the silver craze has done very. little
in this State. The prospect for large
republican majority is good.
