One Thousand People Listen Il,
ExpOundint Of Republican Prin-
ciples by Prominent Men.

The biggest and most enthusias-
tic political rally ever held in the
Musselshell valley was that pulled
off in front Of the Grand Hotel last
night when such prominent men as
Ed. Donlan, candidate for governor
on the republican ticket, Congress-
man Pray. Secretary Of state Ioder.
Railroad Commissioner Stanton.
Judge Cheadlr. Dan. Boyle, can
didate for railroad commissioner.
and 6. w. Smith candidate for the
legislature from this county, adj
dressed the people OF Roundup and
vicinity on the issues OF the day.
The gentlemen mentioned above
came in on the evening train and
were met ut the depot BY the Round
up Cornet Band rs had been prom
iscd by NJ. II. Wall in telegram
to the chairman of the state central
committee. Fully Il thousand peo-
pie gathered in front of the hotel to
listen to the speaking. and the en-
thusiasm displayed by the crowd
was most gratifying to the speak
ers. They declared that this was
the most enthusiastic rally that
they have yet had this year any
where in the state and were pleased
beyond measure at the reception
given them here.
Judge Cheadlc was the first
speaker introduced by l.. Il. Car
roll who acted as chairman for the
evening, and his talk was we'll re-
ceived. The Judge has no oppo-
sition in the coming election and
therefore will continue to be the
Judge Of this district for four more
years.
Mr.. Cheadle was followed by the
Hon. Ed. Donlan, republican can
didate for governor. who made a
hit with his short. pithy speech and
straight from : the shoulder state
ments. Mr.. DOMAINS genial per-
sonality and open trankness won
many friends for him in Roundup.
A. n. Yoder followed Mr.. Donlan
and he was IN turn succeeded by
Dan Boyle. b. 7. Stanton, c. ".
Smith and Congressman PRAY. Mr..
Pray made the principal address of
the evening and with his eloquence
and personal magnetism kept his
audience intensely interested. He
dwelt on some OF the questions
which were before the last congress
J and coming to t he issues Of the
present campaign, sounded a warm
ing note against the putting into
power Of the democratic party which
would inevitably mean a return to
the conditions of 1893. His ex-
planation of the workings of Bryan's S
pet measure, the guarantee of bank
deposits, showing it to be unsound
in principle and not practical in its
workings was convincing. Mr..
Pray is a foweful speaker and his
address was interrupted by frequent
and prolonged applause. Mr. Pray
has just completed his first term in
congress where he has made i,
name for himself, having received
J several important committee ap-
pointments. and If the reception
given him here is any criterion. he
will be returned IL that position
by a big majority.
q. W. Belden, chairman of the
county central committee. made
the closing remarks, and incident
ally referred to s"mc of the dirty
methods Of the opposition in fight
ing J. {. Huntoon for the office of
county attorney.
All Of the speakers paid glowing
tributes to Roundup and its enter
prising citizens and expressed SUR
prise at finding city OF over 1000
inhabitants here. They went west
} on this mornings train.
