Meaderville Is all right. That fact
vas demonstrated last night. Meader-
Vile is not gold republican or any other
kind of republican. Tom Marshall
stands ready to vouch for the truth
fulness of this assertion. He was there
last night and addressed a small but
representative body of the workingmen
OF that mining and smelling town. He
did not convince one single man that
the republican party was the party of
the people. They knew better: they
know that the republican party is the
party Of h yeilow-ribbed oligarchy of
Wall street. The only applause that
genial Tom received came from the
carpeted dias on which were seated
Ex-Governor Richards. Rev. w. G.
Shipper. G. II. Leonard. A. +. Bray,
Charles Kohl and John Miles. who act
cd as chairman. Malcolm ellis. Farm
er Hinkle Tailor Wise and a few other
Clark goldbugs occupied seats near the

A. y. Bray filled n a few more
minutes and told the crowd that the
