WELLINGTON.

At night he addressed the largest
political meeting Of the year in Well
ingtOn. The wigwam's seating capac'
ity was far too small to accommodate
the thrOng that came to hear Mr..
Simpson and many we're unable to
get even standing room. Farmers
were in town who lived more than
ten miles away. The livery stables
and eating houses were taxed to their
limits, to accommodate the crowds in
town. Jerry made speech that car
ried conviction and enthusiasm with
it. Following Mr., Longs address and
the many false reports 10 the Repub-
Ecan newspapers, Simpsons speech
comes as a revelation. Instead Of
"abusing President Mckinley" as
they charge lie cOmmends him for his
able conduct of the war. There il
not a word of abuse Of Mckinley from
the opening TO the close Of his speech.
Instead of "sympathizing with Spain

taxable and unstinted patriotism,

CALDWELL.

At Caldwell Jerry was greeted by Il
crowded house at night. He was
worn and weary but there was no
trace of it in his speech, In fact we
are not sure but lie made the best
speech Of the whole series at Caldwell.
He met every issue fairly and square
ly and rendered an opportunity to any
of his hearers to ask him any Ques-
tiOnS about his record or his views on
public questions they might choose,
His speech was so complete that no
queries seemed necessary and none
were asked, He had many Republi.
cans in his audience. He gave his
ideas concerning expansion in full. a
portion of his speech which he unin-
tentionally overlooked in Wellington.

New York, July 9.-The survivors of
the steamship La Bourgogne arrived

taken in charge by the Compagnie

were there to welcome friends who
had escaped. and others to get infor-
nation of friends or relatives who had
been aboard the i'll fated steamship
when she sank. The survivors of the
crew of La Bourgogne, as they passed
through the station, were Kissed by
the crowd. The crew deny the charges
of brutality made against them, but
1t is significant fact that Of the ia
souls on board the steamer the rescued

would shoot the passengers.
Any one who saw the band Of survi- |
