The Latest Amendments to the Rules ana

The Latest Amendments to the Rules ana
Regulations.
The most important action at the Natlonai
Encampment in ST. Paul in changing the huies
and Regulations was in adopting provision
for nor. resident mem bership, as stated In the
section given herewith, following plan which
has been for some months in force in Mime
sofa.
This is intended not only for holding on to
members who in agricultural districts are un-
able to attend regular meetings OF POSTS, ana
consequently feel that the tax is too heavy wheh
they cannot enjoy all the privileges, but it is
believed that large number can, under TINS
rule be induced TO join who have not done So
because of living distance from the Post-room.
In small villages where Post could not De
sustained. the few comrades there can get TO-
pether in their homes, and thus feel that they
are in full memb ership with the great assocla-
ton of their comrades.
The rule is as follows:
The report of the Committee on Picket
posts" having been adopted by the Encamp-
ment and referred to this committee to formu-
late rules for placing the general plan suggested
in operation We recommend the following as
an additional section to Article 9, Chapter 2:
Sec. IL. Departments may authorize Posts
TO devde their membership into two classes,
"Resident" and Nonresident" members,
and e. the territorial limits within which each
class shall reside. Non president members shall
pay such dues, not less than the per capita tax,
TO Department Headquarters Including the
tax 10 National Headquarters as the Post may
direct
Where a sufficient number of nonresident
members are in any locality they may be organ
lied as an Outpost" to be designated as Out
post No. of Post No. =, Department Of.
Each Outpost may annually elect from It's
own members Sergeant to preside at meet
ings. Such meetings may be held at the home
OF any conrade at the convenience OF the men,
beers. The application of any person for non
resident membership in an Outpost shall he
passed upon by the parent Post, and the Post
Commander may in person or by a suitable de-
tail muster in such applicant, and for such pur-
pose may at his option administer only the obli-
cation of membership.
Another amendment was to Chapter ~, Arti.
g by adding: Provided that where a Depart
ment has provided by bylaws or rules for the
election of representatives by districts, then
in case of the absence of a representative from
such district the alternate from that district
shall serve"
The question of Sons of Veterans as visitors
in Post meetings goes over for printing and
submission to the Order before taking action
thereon at the next National Encampment
Sec. 5 of Article ". Chapter Y, which ex-
empted from the provisions of the same article
for suspension and dropping from the rolls;
comrades in the service of the United State on
duty at distant stations was stricken out as
being unnecessary under the present rules,
which leaves this matter entirely within the
province Of each Post.

RELIEF CORPS REPORT.

The action of the 30th National Convention
on the report of the COMMANDMENTS Chief was
read to Convention by the Chairman of the
W.R.C. Committee Of Conference with the
GAR; the report was adopted and the Com
mittee given rising vote of thanks, which is
rs follows:
Mrs. President: Your Committee appointed
one year ago to consider the question of the
consolidation of Orders of women, would report
that, upon the suggestion of the Chairman of
the Committee appointed by Commander-in-
Chief Walker, action was deferred until they
should report to the Grand Army Encampment,
which they did Sept. 3, 1896.
This Committee feels that all that can at
present be accomplished has been done by the
action of the Grand Army, which is most
heartily Endorsed.

All day yesterday farmers wagons
loaded with human freight poured
into town, until at dark the city was
crowded to an extent never before
known in its history. When the hour
for speaking had arrived the hall
which has an ordinary seating capac-
ity of $50, was found wholly made
quate. Fully $50 people crowded and
damned into the building until not an
inch of space was left unused. In
addition to the crowd in the body OF
the house, 65 persons were seated
on the stage and the crowd extended
far into the street.
Col. Lewis address was directed
principally to the Republicans present
and its impress will be observable in

His Nomination an Insult to n Free
People by Corrupt Machine.

y correspondent of the Tacoma
Morning Union after citing Mr.. Sulli-
vans connection with the Tacoma
water steal says:
The election of Mayor IIuson, Har-
; ris y. CUrell and other councilman of
his ilk. As condition precedent to the
light and water steal, was mere
child's play when compared with the
! most Infamous and gigantic scheme
| now on loot, by the Same corrupt and
corrupting forces. to capture the office
of governor, the Legislative and county
ticket. The whole ticket, with but
three exceptions, and they uninport-
ant, was plainly and manifestly die
tated by the corporate machine in this
city, organized for the purpose of run
ming politics in this city, county and
state. The machine has been so1id1y
manipulated in broad daylight, as we'll
as at all hours of the night, by the
bankrupt briber Anderson and the at
torneys of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company.
The nomination of this man Sulli-
van for governor of this great COM
monwcalth WAS the greatest insul
ever offered Il free people by corrupt
machine, organized for 1ooting and
pillage. Why was he nominated?
Was it on account of his material
wealth? He has not foot of proper
~ i'll the state, so far as can find.
He has nothing in the state that l
know of unless it be 4 possible equity
i'll the poker chips of 4 certain ganlb-
ling house.
Was he nominated on account of his
education, culture and refinement?
He never had common school educa-
ton, and has nOInore culture or refine
ment than the heelers and hoodlums
with which he has associated ever
since he has been in Tacoma.
Was he nominated for governor on
account of his high social standing?
Is there respectable and self-respect-
ing man in Tacoma who will take him
into his home and introduce him to his
family? If there is one please get his
name and publish it to the world, so
that all decent people may shun him.
Was he nominated for governor on
account of his high standing among
churchrnen? Was he ever inside a
church in Tacoma? Has he not spent
the most of his time since coming to
Tacoma in saloons, gambling houses
and like resorts?
Was he nominated on account of his
magnificent presence? AT all times
he looks and acts like the sneak. Was
it on account of his great oratorical
powers? He can't even write 4
speech, let alone deliver an address,
Was it on account of his great legal
lore? Has he ever been anything
more in the firm of Crowley, Sullivan
Il Grosseup than the political partner?
Is he not still their silent partner in
all political, Northern Pacific and Ia
coma Land company affairs? Strang-
est of all, am told he is to get the
whole of the corporation, saloon,
church and gambling house vote in
the state. a nice mixture, isn't it?
Why, the truth is he was nominated
for the simple reason that he is now,
and for years has been, the plant tool
of corporations-was the attorney of
bankrupt briber Anderson during the
water deal, engineered the deal and
was paid as an attorney for it.

SHELTON, Wash, Oct. II, 1896.
Hons. Fred. 7. Merrill and Il. O..
Abbott, both of Tacoma, spoke here to
a good sized audience at the Court
House last night. Owing to the late
arrival of the boat bringing the speak
ers many persons went home before
their arrival. Mr.. Abbott was intro
duced by Chairman Knceland, and
made very argumentative and logical
speech of three-quarters of an hour,
after which Mr. Merrill was introduced,
and although his voice was not in
good condition owing to a severe cold,
he made one of the most eloquent
speeches ever heard in Shelton. His
witty, sarcastic, logical outbursts of
oratory and sound reasoning brought
forth frequent and enthusiastic ap-
plause. The speeches have done much
good here.

The Profundity Of jealousy

Because Bryan's versatile mind GEN.
ceived that elegant classico-scriptural
SMILES, the "Crown of Thorns" and
"Cross of Gold" great hue and cry
has been raised by the Republican
press, and he is denounced as having
perpetrated palpable blasphemy.
Had Mckinley stumbled upon the
happy metaphor while Grating from
his veranda in Canton, too much praise
could not have been heaped upon him
by the brave men and fair women who
would kiss the grass in his front lawn;
and the wonderful excerpt would have
been trumpeted from the Atlantic to
the Pacific as just too sweet for any
thing. But it makes great deal of
difference in this little world of ours
who it is that says all the pretty things.
Now in regard to this matter there
are two notable considerations and
one of two things must be true,
namely: If Bryan's calumniators are
sincere in their criticisms, then are
they consummate asses in rhetorical
lore and know not how to construe
the English Alright; if they are not
sincere, they are simply dishonest
journalists, and they would not hest
tate to steal an adversary's thunder
bolts if given but the shadow of an
opportunity.

A FrOsto for Dooiittle.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Congressman Doolittle and J. ID.
McCutcheon have made two speeches
each in the logging camps of this
county and have encountered decided
frost" The first evening they spoke
on the Blakely road to the crews of
two of Sol. G. Simpsons logging
camps. The foreman of one of the
crews afterward said: ave had four
gold men. in our camp before those
speeches were made; now even they
are silver men," They met a similar
reception at the camps on the PENN
sular road last night. Every men,
ton of Bryan's name was wildly
cheered. These gentlemen speak in
Shelton tonight, and Our local silver
paper, the Shelton Tribune, asks Doc
little if he is resisting the gold stand
ard as he would the invasion of for
eign foe" and challenges him to
square himself if he can with the
voters of Mason county.
Mason county is solid for free silver.

Impeaches its Own Witness.

1t is surprising how circumstances
alter cases: how man may be saint
when he agrees with you and an arrant
sinner when his judgment runs coun-
ter to yours. An instance in point is
the Pts attempt to belittle the work
of Abe Spring in unearthing the cor
ruption of the McGraw administra-
ton. Having disclosed the alarming
fact that through incompetence and
extravaganza the State has been pay
ing 81 800 per day for the privilege of
living ever since the boss assumed the
Executive chair, he is now engaged in
digging up the facts in the Coblentz
Penitentiary defalcation, with view
of showing who is responsible for APP
preparation of the States money and
the failure, after two years of waiting,
to secure some recompense from the
suicides sureties. This is, of course,
creating feeling of alarm among Me-
Graw's henchmen, and they have let
loose the dogs of war upon Mr.. Spring.
Time was, however, when the Pr.
was glad to quote Mr.. Spring on most
any subject and to accord him full
credit for probity and sound judg-
ment. That was before the gentle
man had left the Republican party,
with many Others, in consequence
of its degeneracy and utter unworthi-
ness.
Facts that may be easily proven by
the record, and figures that worry and
annoJ, are not easily downed by mere
denial and abuse OF those who use
them, in prosecution of righteous
cause.

Bill. They are going to kill him No
vember 3. The ukase has gone forth
and Republican stump speakers ar,
talking tariff. The Republican Com
mittee still concede Bryan 40 cleo
toral votes. Very generous of them
indeed! How nice it would be if tn,
Mckinley men could have Nc. and
the Bryan men Bryan.
Corporate greed holds place and power,
Labor strives in vain for bread:
Since labor casts the winning vote
The foolkiler must be dead.
Railroads and palace cars he builds
For plutOcrats to use;
Himself he hOofs it on the ties,
With hobnails in his shoes.
Rich fruits he raises for mankind,
And corn and wine galore;
Himself he feeds upon a crust,
At the plut0crat's back door.
The Republican speakers start out
by conceding our honesty, but before
they get through we aren't so sure OF
their opinion, for they call us repudia-
tors and anarchists.
