held Thursday by the silver forces,
Notwithstanding Republican meet
ing was held the same night at Cedar
vile and two church meetings were in
progress in the same neighborhoOd.
Hon. J. S. Allen spoke, and his dis
course was clear and convincing. The
iisrbUu-asd applause 10 received shows
the argument left no standing room
for goldbug Republicans.
Judge Litchenberg and Judge Win
sor addressed Il Bryan-Rogers meeting
at Sumner, Thursday night. Two
hundred people were present, 120 of
whom were voters. The audience
fairly bubbled over with enthusiasm.
An Ellensburg dispatch of the 22d
says: The most enthusiastic and by
far the largest audience ever assembled
to hear Il political speech during this
campaign greeted the Hon. John II.
Rogers and Rev. Clark Davis in the
armory hall last night. Fully 600
people were present. Above in the
opera house ex-senator John B. Allen
also addressed an audience of not to
exceed $50 people. The goldbugs had
n band to help enthusc, but even with
music the enthusiasm was of the cut
and dried order.
Hon. Chas. S. Voorhees, is doing cx-
cellent service for the Silver cause in
the State campaign. He speaks with
Hon. John p. Fay at Tacoma to-
night, and if weather will admit an
outdoor meeting will bc held, rs it is
anticipated that no hall in the city
will hold the crowd that will assemble
Melvin G. Winstock, the "talented
Hebrew orator" attempted to answer,
at Hoqium, a few evenings ago, some
of the positions assumed by Hon.
James Hamilton Lewis, at Il previous
meeting. He talked, however, to
empty benches.
Reports received at the Peoples
Party headquarters in Seattle, from
all parts of the State, show that Me-
Graw's henchmen are attempting to
effect n trade, in every county of any
and every candidate on the Republi-
can State or county tickets, to lead n
forlorn hope for Sullivan. In some
districts they will agree to vote for two
candidates on the Peoples ticket for a
Single vote for Sullivan. This course
is by no means conducive to harmony
in the 6. o. p, but the command has
gone forth, ELECT Sullivan at any
sacrifice"
1t is said by an eyewitness of the
Republican parade ut Seattle, that not
more than 800 people took part in it,
and they were largely "bums" from
the slums hired for the occasion. The
P.-L always was a boaster and in this
instance it fairly outdoes itself in ex-
aggeration.
Hon. George Turner is announced
to speak at Ellensburg to-day, Fair
haven Monday, Everett Tuesday, in
Klickitat county on the 29th and at
Spokane on the 30th. He is doing
splendid service for the Peoples ticket.
The union campaign committee of
King county is making extensive prep
arations for a great parade and rally
at the armory in Seattle, next Monday
evening. The speakers will be Hon.
John Il. Rogers, candidate for Gov
ernor; Hon. James Hamilton Lewis,
candidate for Congress; Judge I. J.
Lichtenberg and Frank J. Browne,
candidate for Superintendent of Public
Instruction. They expect to turn out
in much greater numbers than the Re-
publicans did Wednesday night, and
indications point toward having a
splendid parade. The uniform Bryan
Rogers club of Tacoma and the Bryan
16 to l club will be there.
The Peoples committee at North
Yakima have telegraphed to Seattle
for 400 torches and are going to have
a big parade. Arrangements are being
made at all OF the other points to make
the Turner meeting one of the largest
of the campaign.
The State Peoples Party Committee
had list of dates fixed for State SEN
ator E. w. Taylor, but have Cancelled
them so that Mr.. Taylor can spend his
entire time in Pierce county from now
until election.
