Republican Rally at Ridenour's.

The Republican meeting at Ridenours
WednesdayWas most enthusiastic gather
ing. The house was full to overlooking
and members had to stand
Teddy's Rough Walkers were there in
their picturesque uniforms and the ladies
too, numbering at least third OF the
audience.
Post Master Clohan who has most APP
propriately been nick-named the Mark
Hannah of Berkeley Republicans, intro
duced Capt. Capers, who opened his adj
dress with fine tribute 10 woman and
her influence which was highly gratifying
to all and then launching out upon his
subject. He held the strict attention of
the large audience for an hour, discussing
the differing policies of the two parties,
and showing results of each. This was
followed by mastery address by Hon.
c. Van Metre Gates, who expounded the
meaning of Impe ialism and Expansion,
and referring to historical notes and drafts
from reports TO congress, proved concu-
sively that Thomas Jefferson, the great
father of Democracy was an Expansionist
also Protectionist of the highest type
and by his acts laid the foundation of our
magnificent, proportions and present
greatness
He spoke of the benefits of the Gold
Standard and of the curse OF Free Coin
age of Silver. He named but two nations
which held TO bimetalism, viz. China and
Mexico.
He showed the insincerity OF Bryan,
brought to light MS receptions and
branding him with treason-in aiding and
encouraging enemies of the nation
upheld the Policy of Mckinley
who has stood, and still stands true to the
flag of our country and who is the wags
workers best friend and advocate.
In short, he held the audience spell
bound till the close OF full hours speech
of rare merit.
What strikes sLot" as particularly rep
rehensible in Bryan'S conduct is that he
charges the Republicans with crime in
their Philippine policy after he turned his
back on the flag, laid down his uniform
and left the army for congress, there TO
use his great influence in persuading
enough Democrats to sign that very treaty
with Spain which he now denounces and
which the Republicans could not have
carried into effect without this help.
Bryan's propheses have failed, every
ole-He is wild schemer, visionary,
deceiver, whose wild cat financial policies
carried out and whose lack of principle
and want of good faith would stagnate
business and paralyze the arm of labor as
never before, would.debase our currency,
destroy our credit, empty our treasury oil
its gold and turn us into a borrowing in
stead of lending nation and create for
the American people disaster second TO
none in the animals of its history

A New Church.

The members OF the Christian church
OF this city have decided to erect hand
some brick church on their lot on Win
chester avenue and in another column will
be seen a notice asking for bids for the
construction OF the church.
The plans tor the building have been
drawn by architect G, w. Kramer. Of
New York and are in the hands OF the
committee. The style OF architecture will
be something new in church construction
in Martinsburg. The main building vii
be 42x47 feet and will comfortably seal
ago people. The building will be con.
structed so that an addition can be added
to it as soon as the increase in the con.
gregation demands it. Ii will be erected
at the corner OF Maple avenue and the ex.
tension OF Stephen street, facing on Win.
chester avenue. AT the northwest corner
will be tower, in which will be the main
entrance. with side entrance on Stephen
stree. Besides the main building there
will be robng rooms,a pastor study and
other rooms adjoining the man building
The pulpit will be in the opposite corner
to the main entrance and the seats will
run ulagOHdily dSlosS INC uuiiuiHS.
AS soon as the contract is awarded II
is the intention of the congregation TO be-
gin work at once. The Christian congre-

time been taking steps toward the cree.

Political fleeting.

I If public speaking has anything to do
with the casting OF votes on election day.
then Republicans in Berkeley county
ought surely not fear the results OF the
election on November 6. Nor in any
campaign in the county have the issues az
stake been discussed more thoroughly
from Republican standpoint nor more
methods used to dispei the apathy among
the voters. Brass bands, organization,
catchy uniforms, the unfurling Of the stars
and stripes-all that appeal to the senti-
mental--haye been brought into use BY
the party in the county 10 arouse enrhusi-
asin in the campaign, Probably ia no
other county and IN no other district in
the state is so much interest cehtered in
tile present campaign as in Berkeley
county and in the Second Congressional
District. The fight is close ore. Both
parties predict victory. There are gains
and losses on both sides and as TO the
outcome it is difficult to forestall

escorted the speakers to the hall
The attendance was not as large as on
former occasions,a number Of seats being
vacant. bur the enthusiasm was not lm-
paired by the lack of crowded house.
Hon. Geo. f Evans called the meeting
to order and introduced first Gen. Ski
KaFf. Gen. Kapf devoted the greater
part of his address TO pointing out the
good work done by the Mckinley adj
ministration. He also spoke OF local is
sues, pleading TO the voters to cast their
votes for the Republican candidates.
Gen. Kapff concluded his. address at
five minutes past nine O'Clock and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Anderson, who spoke for
an hour. The address of Mr.. Anderson
was an exceedingly interesting one and
was delivered with much impressiveness.
He branded Bryan and Wellington as
traitors and said If the laws as set forth in
the constitution We're enforced they would
be placed on the same level and made &c
suffer as Benedict Arnold His ground:
Tor this were their aiding the Filipnos il
their rebellion against the country by
arousing sentiment against the policy pur
sued by the Government. MIR. Anderson
referred back to the days OF Jefferson anC
Washington in speaking OF imperialism
and expansion, concluding his address il
an appeal TO the voters for their supper
of Mckinley and Roosevelt.

SOME RAILROAD TALK.
Official Of S. V. R. R. Makes
Promises and Predictions.

c. W. Nibley, Manager of the Stump.
ter Valley railroad, was in Portland Sat.
urday, and did great deal Of talking to
Telegram reporter. He was evidently
talking for publication, and the effect he
hoped II would have. II he will fulfill the
following promise, Sumpter people will be
appeased to some extent. He said:
"On March IS we shall put on double
daily passenger train service between
Baker City and Sumpter. The present
logging train will be continued, but will
leave Baker City late in the afternoon, so
rs to carry the days mail and the evening
papers to all the mining camps in that
district"
Then he talked about railroad building
and extentions, declaring positively that
the Hilgard.Granite road will never be
built. and that the survey is a bluff by the
Grande Ronde Lumber ompany, to
protect lot OF timber lands. To the av-
erage mind, this would appear to be
poor way to "protect" such property,
making u appear valuable, nj least, and
exciting the cupidity Of the publii-but
that Is neither here nor there. After an.
nouncing that tins proposed railroad will
not be constructed, he causually remarks:
"The Sumpter Valley Railroad Com.
pany fully appreciates the importance Of
the business in sight for the coming sea.
son in Eastern Oregon, and YOU may say
that commencing almost Immediately. we
will extend our present line southerly
from Sumpter 10 miles, through Bonanza
and on toward Prairie City, and we may
build this season as far as Canyon City,
If negotiations now pending In New York
are cOnSummated."
There would appear to be some con.
nection between the two statements.
