were received with great applause, and
and he was the recipient Of hearty
congratulation ons from all present.
Mt. Angel is noted for its good
music as we'll as good people, and the
brass band Of that place on this occa-
sion outdid itself. The music was
superb and fitting for the event, which
proved one Of the most successful of
the week.
The meeting at Gervais was not
we'll attended. The Republicans
made serious mistake by not hold
ing young McCourt until the last,
for it appeared that nearly all the
Republicans in the house had come
TO hear the young orator. McCourt
was called down in order to leaYe two
minutes for McCullock. But the
chairman soon discovered his mis-
take IN not giving all the time to the
10y orator. McCullock arose and
tried his best to get the ears of those
before him, but his efforts were in
vain-not six persons beside cardi-
dates were present when McCu ok
concluded his effort.
At Woodburn the large hall was
reasonably we'll filled with the people
Of the thrifty little town and sur
rounding country. The Republicans
lead off with Rev. Bro. Cummings,
who seemed to be enthused by the
size Of the audience. He made no
reference to the Republican platform
whatever. He took up Mr.. McCourt's
idea that the Union is imperfect, that
three parties are trolling along to.
gether trying to ride on one platform.
He talked while upon sixteen to one
and tried to make his audience nix
that he knew what it meant. Fl le-
clared that the "fusionist" bel Yed

rency issued direct to the people SO
every one could have his pockets full.
Then on top Of the statement he
declared their percapita circulation
did not effect business, "makes no
difference to you or me" whether it is
two dollars and fifty cents or twenty
five dollars. He also said the "fusion.
lists" would have the people think
that they are opposed to class legls-
lation but that their plan is the most
gigantic scheme of class legislation
eyer proposed. He talked about COM
mercial value, about the mints,i the
silver mine owners, the amount of
money in the U. s, treasury, govern.
ment by injunction, profits or seigno-
rage etc. ETC. He declared that sill |

time adding largely to the circulation
and great many other false a. |
absurd statements rolled from Il I
mouth like a pile OF pumpkins tuu
bling down a cellar.
When the gentleman had wearied
with what he thought was
n exhaustion OF his subject, he gave
up the floor.
Mr.. Hendricks then introduced the
1ther candidates in turn who made
lice little speeches each in his own
behalf.
The Union candidates were then
n troduced and as usual made brief
speeches until the venerable G. w.
Oimick candidate for state senator
vas called. Mr.. Dimick had but few
minutes at his disposal, but those few
minutes were sufficient to show the ,
