DISCIPLES OF HAMILTON
Eat, Drink, and Talk Politics at the
Auditorium.

Chicago, Aug. 3O-Prominent men from
al parts of the country gathered around
forum hotel last night to attend the feast
given by the Hamilton club of this city,
in their honor. The Hamilton club is a
Republican organization and its banquet
was, after the menu, banquet with poll
tics the chief thing under discussion.
The great hall was never more hand
somely or deliberately decorated. The walls
We're hung with the national colors, great
bouquets and garlandS of flowers of the
same colors as those in the flag were found
upon every table and the decorations
throughout were of a patriotic and mill
tary character. Among the notable guests
were Speaker Henderson, of the house of
representatives; Senator Davis, of Minne-
sofa; Senator Dolliver. of Iowa; Comptro1-
Ter of the Currency Dawes, Commander
Inn1T ;,s Shaw; Of the 6; A R.: General
eral Daniel E. Sickles, Judge Leo Raisseur
and others.
President Bangs opened the speech-mak-
ing with a short address, at the end Of
which he introduced Speaker Henderson
who spoke briefly.
The name of Hamilton suggests three
thoughts that may be appropriate to 1900
First, strong government; second, a just
government; third, protective govern
ment.
I'm this great world of ours, full of pow
erful, massive, aggressive governments,
strong to take care of our people and their
that is not just We can not hold the
love and support of our people unless. We
probation and in the n 5cution of law
This government must protect capital
and labor and give each fair chance. 1t
must protect the rich and the poor, the
black and the white and the brown, also
Mr.. Bryan. Unless we have a govern
ment big enough to extend its protective
power everywhere that old flag floats. it
will come short of its duty. Aye, and gem
tlemen, it must be a government that will
protect its citizens in the heart of Chicago
or in the heart of China
Those doctrines of Hamilton, which I
assume are supported by this club, must
be the text word, of the hour I want
elected man who not only preached
those doctrines but, like Mckinley, acted
them from his heart, because 1 believe in
those doctrines and 1 urge the American
people to support the people who believe
in them"
The speech of Speaker Henderson was
most happily received and he was heartily
cheered as he resumed his seat. Senator
Cushman K. Davis responded to the toast,
'tOur Destiny
Senator DolIiver. of Iowa, was greeted
with prolonged cheers as he arose to
spond to the toast Prosperity and Its
Causes"
The new senator from Iowa received, at
the close of his address, an ovation which
surpassed the reception that met him be-
fore he began to speak.

B. F. Grant of Harlan arrived on
a business mission Sunday and re-
NAMED until Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Grant, as is quite generally
known, has been considerably inter-
ested in goat-raising for the past
few years, but to THE LEADER he
expressed himself as being some
what discouraged. IN addition 10
his losses from the new disease
that has attacked many bands of
goats in Oregon, he has been the
victim of a cougar, which killed
nine for him one night and three on
another raid. Mr.. Grant and his
sons own some well-trained dogs
and could soon capture the animal
if permitted to do so, but some of
the settlers in the cougars field of
operation are in the habit of killing
dogs unlucky enough to trespass
upon their premises, and they are
compelled to take their dogs off the
trad whenever il leads toward the
dead line. - With the aid of their
dogs the Grant boys have killed
four wildcats recently-two of them
monsters. Mr.. Grant says his dogs
are the protectors Of his small stock
and without them it would be i'm
possible to follow stock-raising with
any profit, owing to the depreda-
tions Of wild animals.
