Splendid Meetings at Var
ious Points

|
Hon. Jas. r. Walker, of st. Louis,
an able speaker sent to Saline by
the Republican State Committee,
commenced a weeks campaign by
speaking at Malta Bend Monday
evening of last week. He was as
sisted at Malta Bend by Senator
Holmes Hall, candidate for con-
gress, and fine meeting was the
result.
I The gentlemen also addressed a
small meeting at Grand Pass Mon
day afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Walker
went to Gillian but failed to get
enough hearers to hold meeting
and went to Blackburn that even
ing with more bad luck, as the
train was three hours late. The
band boys had held the crowd
Though and very successful meet
ing was held at p. m.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Walker
in company with Editor Witt drove
| to Herndon to start cross-coun
try tour of the couny.
The Herndon meeting at 1.20 was
4 very successful. At 7.30 We were
1'joined by Senator Hall at Sweet
Springs and big meeting held at
lthe city hall.
! Thursday morning an effort was
made to get up a German meeting
at Emma, but owing to the Con-
cordia street fair it was impossible
Ito get crowd together. Senator
lHall in the meantime bad gone to
Napaieon, while Messrs Walker and
lWitt headed north for Elmwood
TOR the hospitable home of d. M
Harris, where experience had
taught us there was an abundance
1 Of cordiality and good things to
eat and we were not disappointed
i After dinner the editor made a
short drive around to stir up an
/ audience and the meeting in the
III. e. Church that evening was a
\ fine one; Mr., Walker was at his
best and made a most convincing
Il taik. He was complimented by
Iboth Dsmocrats and. Republicans on
Hhis able talk. DR.. James entertain
edethe speaker for supper while j
IA. Mseller looked after our wants
most sacceptably and we. were both
cared for for the night at the fine
country home of Henry Terrell.
Friday morning we started for
Rose Valley with stop for dinner
at Will Fitgerald's south Of Hern-
don. That night the speaker was
greeted by fine audience at the
Rose Valley school house and made
another of his convincing talks.
Mr.. Walker was entertained for
supper at Henry Reinwald's and the
: editor at Fred Halls. At night
, Geo. Mittlebuscher's cared for our
! temporal needs as well as our
horses.
! Saturday morning we drove to
: Blue Lick to hold a meeting that
: night. Geo. Barron had been very
busy here and his efforts were
: visible when at 7.30 one of the ban
ner audiences of the week greeted
the speaker in front of the post
office. People were there from
many miles in all directions and
!, the talk was well worth the effort
made to hear it. Messrs Walker
and Witt enjoyed an excellent sup
per with Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B.
Lasley. Our entertainment at each
!, point was most cordial and liberal
and we again thank those who
made it possible for us to enjoy
such a fine week in the county.
During the week were also most
literally treated by our readers as
will be seen by the large list of
renewals in this issue.
The political condition of Saline
was never better from Republi-
, can standpoint and prospects are
that full vote will be polled next
month.
