THE COItVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY MAY 25, 1894. Ufa GEER ON PENS OYER. He Uses Cold Facts as a Knife Poppies Doria Up. On Tuesday evening the Benton Coi nty KenIicHii Club h;ld a torchlight profession in honor of the Hon. T. T. Geer, o" Salem, wh. later on, addressed an audience that filled the court house to overflowing. After an introduction by Chairman W. E. Yates, Mr: Geer quietly, but ia his earne-t and Mncere manner, that carried conviction with each argument, and they were many, proceeded to wnJe into our much warped governor in a mariner that showed his th iroujrh knowledge of his movements ard iminoere utterances and the motives which actuated th.-iii. "I have a warm personal regard for Pen njyor as ti mar., said Mr. Geer, but I pity 1 ia monomania. , I am a farmer, have been 'or years, and consider a farmer as good as i ny governor of any state especially in Oregon. " The i, p-nding from Ponnoyer's speech de livered in Ashland on Apr. 20, "That bus' n.iss, and in fact all the mercbantile pursuit-!, had not felt such depression wilhin tile last frty years" proceeded to review the hi; t ry of the country for that period as there are nlentr of j-tatistics. records and all the op portunities necessary to make an actual and complete comparison to date. ' Heading from the congressional record of 1837, after a short period of democratic power, that adversity overtook the land and always follows that party in po'ver; that in six months real estate in the city of New York alone had do preeiated .10,000,000, fully equal to that of of 18j:l, also that in two months 250 failures of business houses occurred in that city. So when the governor saj-s everybody was pros p.irous, he forgot to search the records and there leain that 20,000 individuals weie thrown out of employment in the same city .and that the discharge of that number of men then, was fully equal to that of the year just past; and yet the brilliant states man and jurists never thought of the popu lists' plan of grinding out money by the bushel to make all men rich and thrust away the depressing times then existing, for the . inly known way of getting money then, was to work for it. There was no Coxey's Army in those d:iyp nor any populists for the former is simply the people's party on wheels. On June 9, 1840, Mr. Johns', of Kentucky, address to the house asserts that "There are on all sides signs of serious distrust in busi ness circles. Trade is prostrated and suits are piled upon suits until through such a multiplicity of disasters, confidence is entire ly gone and property is valueless." Doesn't this prove an intentional misrepresentation on the part of Gov. Pennoyer? Why. many western states passed relief laws for the . farmers. Why, forty years ago my own grandfather, Jhen living in Kentucky, had but one single garment, and made his calls on the girls and his visits to church in the same and it consisted of a long tow shirt, while tho girls, themselves, carried their shoes in their hands and only put them on wh ;n nearing the house of God. Do any of tho boys go calling in a long tow shirt and nothing else? I guess not. You cannot tell any of our boys apart the clerks and the bankers' sons dress alike. Notwithstanding that two-thirds of our men are out of employment, yet I was three , days trying to find a man to do tho farm work daring my absence and then only for $18 did I sccura a neighbor owning his own plat of ground, while I, as a young man of 19, could only command $i for the same service. And the idea of talking to intelligent men arid wo nen about the purchasing power of of money! .My wife, as a girl, earned 75cents perweek.and c;lico then cost 25 cents per yard. Supposing she wanted a new dress, she got just three yards of calico for her j week's work. Now, any girl gets $3 per I week, and if she had a notion to invest it the same.way could get 80 yards for the same : sorvico. jiovr consider inn situation niter a& yars of republican administration. President IlnrrWon, in his message to congress in December,1 1892, says: "'The nmncial and commercial interests are in the very highest state of prosperity. The coun try is . in such a si ccessf il, sound and prosp?rous condition rs was never le fore known in this country's h.ttory. " The Governor's favorite shot di ected from the populists' camp is at the banking systo n: "llie government now loans money oiuy to National banks" is the silliest assertion yet ; made and purposely and intentionally mis represented, yet is the simplest understood when oxplaincd that National bank notes or bonds are issued in tho proportion of nine tontlis of the actual amount of actual cash deposited for their security. This is not a loan by the government but an exchange of medium in which the government is 10 per cant, gainer, and no money loaned, only a bond is issued, stating that there is sufficient hardca-h back of it with whichtoredeem.it when necessary, and this is the collapse of another and big populistic soap bubble. Concerning the Australian Ballot system, and the Governor's claim that it was being juggled with in order to defeat the ends for which it was devised: Mr. Geer says there are llti names on the Multnomah county ballot this election and it will take some men half an hour to vote it, by the existent law of erasing all names but those voted for. Whereas the law was only to be amended so as to designate by a check mark, the per sons to be voted fur, thus expediting the vot ing and lessening the chance for errors, and is o ily in accordance with amendments as already made in Ohio, Illinois and other states. And the Governor actually said that the passage of this billover his veto, will as suredly replace the political ring in suprem acy in Oregon politics. And by tho political ring, our Governor never fails to impress his hearers with the fact that Hon. Joe Simon is that ririr. Touch! ig on the extravagances of the last legislature, Mr. Geer said there were measures introduced for and against .which thev voted." according to the dictates of their -own consciences, as the Agricultural College of this city. Branch Asylum, at Eastern Ore iron. Roseburg Home, for soldiers, etc, but the Governor forgets that to pass a bill over hisveto requires 60 votes, or two-thirds majority, and therefore his vote is just equal to 60 members and yet how many bills did ha veto. Why, just two out of 172 bills passed, and two only. Governor Pennoyer would rather that tr a Republicans had made a most ex travagant and rtckloss measure and approve 1 flio rMiilt for nolitipnl ranitftl. it, pUU UCD .w .ww...- I 1 , than to veto fcueh a measure as 'becomes a man having that authority, and the Goyei nor seems very sorry, indeed that no such measure was presented. Touching on the "World's Fair appropria tion bill passed in spite of his veto, Pen noyer s'aid to Wright of Marion county: "I vetoed the measure, had to do it to be con sistent with my policy, yet 1 would rather it had passed, but I will tell you ho w you can get the money. Put it in the g ncral appro priation bill, which I cannot veto and get it in that way." , A very enlightening point is tho Govern or's sympathy for the taxpayer and his high and mighty wrath at the Judges re viving an extra compensation over and above their$l,500 salary. Would the exec utive do the same? There arc some facts fi-um the archives of Salem, concerning the compensation for being an absolute demt. gogue. Pennoyer's salary, $1,500; Prison Inspector, $500, and all the inspection he does is to go to the penitentiary, cat a good meal and return to his office and pardon C or 8 bad criminals. Member of Building Com mittee, ?500; Member of Domestic animal Com., 8250; Deaf Mute School Com., $250; Mmiber Asylum Trustee. $100; Member lieform School Com., $250. He has made iu cesvant warfare against commissions, and claims they are unconstitutional and yet combines the executive and judicial and pcoops in all the pay in sight poor tax payer. ;' The "third party" made its first appear ance in the Garden of Jden and did a little talking and is pursuing the same tactics down to the present time. Pennoyer -has been a signal failure as a Governor and a state disgrace ever since his election. He has insulted two Presidents just to advertise himself, and is a man who would rather be abused than be let alone, He must have notoriety and in the race for such, has been a disgrace to our state and the embodiment of conceit and personal vanity. Our sister states claims California credit for our apples, prunes, scenery and climate and I only hope she may have the courage t j claim our Governor too. For he is a bold misrepresentor, an arrant humbug, an arrant ass and a rank failure this , man who goes around the country preaching discon tent, socialism and anarchy, spends two days a week in the executive office and expects us to pay the bills. I am very sorry for the democrats for having to shoulder the respon sibility of having placed such a rank object in office. Mijor Bruce Should be County Charge. Made a Major Bruce, populist nominee for joint senator, assorted in a public speech the other day in Lincoln county, before a large audience and in the absence of Mr. Carter, that Mr. Carter was a rich man; bad a barn full of buggies and fine horses, while he (Bruce) was poor; toiling all the time to get enough to live on; his wife was working like a slave all the time and his children were suffering for the necessaries of life. For a long time Mr. Bruce and family have been looked upon with pitty by the sympathizing community who were thinking of taking up a collection for him and his Urviug family but had finally concluded to petition the county court to make thtm a county charge and send them to the poor farm to be cared for by Mrs,' Huguins. j The lying capacity of the average populist ia indeed surprising and in this Hue Bruce is a daisy. . Mr. Carter has raised a large family all of whom are respectable citizens of Benton county. Bruce has oue small child. Last year Bruce paid taxes on $10, 843; Carter uu $9,715.' Bruce is known throughout the state as one of the wealthiest if not the wealthiest farmer in Benton county. A fair valuatiou of his property would be at least $25,000 free of all indebt edness. He owns a herd of blooded cattle; drives good teams; dresses as well, or bettor than any mm in Beutou county; p.iys cash or its equivalent for merchandise; is sup ! posed to be entirely free from debt; conies to town in good style, yet he goes about the j county breeding discontent, socialism and e .'en anarchy. If he is insaue he should be promptly placed in the asylum, but if he is not and is taking advantage of his noniina ' tiou to go about willfully and maliciously misrepresenting his ueighbors and the present condition of things, he should be j incarcerated and not allowed the privileges of free born American citizen. Such men are dangerous and a menace to good govern- ment- They are of the game ilk as Herr Mogt bnt lack ui(J.couraKe. Mr. Bruce is an imposter and his given no credence. statements should be There was a nice little meeting of pops and p roh is at Oakville, in linn county, on Tuesday, as was easily seen by the picnic being held at the intersection of three dusty roads surrounding the town pump. It was acute little affair, indeed, for when, the windy utterances of Itamp and fellow Cox eyites went rolling down the lane to get hung up on the hazel brush, they could im mediately adjourn to the afore-mentioned cucumber pump and soak their collapsible heads. Everybody cheered everything that was said and seemed totally uumindful of the cruel splinters which were penetrating their seats of knowledge and populist prin ciples, and all returned to their neglected homes, full of visionary plans for spending their many thousands of machine-made, without- interest, dirt-cheap money. A team owned hy Mr. Voss of Granger, became frightened Wednesday morning and r in away. At the corner of Second and Jackson streets, in front of the Exchange hotel, the team collided with and smashed the rear of a buggy driven by Mrs. Mclllree of Linn county. No one was injured. The tongue of Voss' wagon dropped, caught under a crosswalk and snapped off, freeing the horses that cut for home and throwing the wagon twenty feet in tha air. That part of the tongue broken off is firmly em bedded in the crosswalk. Tuesday evening a daughter of Norm Lilly was driving in from the country with an old "gentle" family horse that become scared at the college and started for town in a run. Miss 'Lilly was accompanied by a fnend, and although considerably frightened she kept the horse in the middle of the road until Main street was reached, at Allen & Woodward's" corner, where the fractious animal was stopped by John Stewart, before any damage or injury had occurred.

An audience of' 300 intelligent persons was on hand to greet the participants in the fourth semi-annual literary contest between the Websterian and Ciceronian societies of the agricultural college. The contestant, teu iu number, had been rehearsing faith fully for several weeks and had prepared a program superior in excellence if such a thing were possible to any similar one heretofore given. These contests have taken place half-yearly during the past two scholastic years, and in each of them much interest has been manifested, not only by the participants, bub by the entire school and faculty. A year ago when the medal was first offered the Websterians were vic torious. At the next contest the Ciceronian president was accorded the honor of wear ing the trophy. The last time the societies met in combat it again passed to the Web sterians only to be wrested from them by the Ciceronian last Friday evening Conspicuous among the stage decorations were portraits of Cicero and Webster, also a large American flag, and from its presence the contestants seemed to gather inspiration. An immense burst of enthusiasm was ac corded the participants as they entered upon the stage to again struggle for possession of the costly medal. In point of enthusiasm the content fell far below former ones, but for careful preparation and excel'enee of the entertainment the last one would certainly take first place. The entire programme evidenced that rapid advancement had been made in literary work during the past two years, and each number reflected credit upon the societies interested. If the rendi tion f this programme be taken as a crite rion of the work being accomplished in each of the several departments of the agricultu ral college, the faculty have reason to con i;ratulate' themselves upon their success. No one stumbled over his linen; there were no corrections or promptings, and each con testant acquitted himself iu a most credita ble manner. Of the essays too much cannot be sai-1 for the pains taken and the careful research exemplified iu their preparation. One or two of them continued many beautiful thoughts and were thoroughly appreciated by the audience. In the rendition of the recitations, elocu tionary talent of a high order was dinplayed; the readings and the able manner iu which the debate was handled, all met with com mendation from the audience. Professor John Straub, of the ' university of Oregon, Rev. J. A. Townsend, of Inde pendence, and Prof. Eugenie M. Earle, of Albany, acted as judges and occupied seats in various parts of the house. After the results had been announced Prof. Straub was called on to make a few remarks. H stated that the judges were, sorry that only one medal had been ottered; that several had acquitted themselves so well that they were individually entitled to some reward. He also spoke in a most flattering way of the evening's programme. President Bloss stat ed that it was somewhat peculiar that tha medal had passed alternately between the two societies, aud for fear that some might imagine that the matter had been "fixed" beforehand he would state that the judges were in each instance disinterested parties, and that everything had been conducted in a regular manner. The total number of possible points for each side was 1300. The Ciceronians were credited with 12251; the Websterians 1193, the former winniug by 32J points. ' Holm and Bryan. Ed. Gazette: It is not often, and cer tainly not in the regular line of campaign work, that candidates should cause reports to be circulated that under other circum stances would be detrimental to their inter ests, but such seems to be the case in the instance to which I am about to allude. There it? a report in circulation' through the couuty to the effect that E. L. Bryan, nom ine on the democratic ticket and present incumbent of the Office of county school superintendent of Benton county, is iu the habit of getting drunk whenever favorable opportunities present themselves. This is indeed news to the people of Philomath, where he has lived since early childhood and all know that ifjhe had no greater sin than this to answer for and his moral char acter was as blameless in other respects as in this particular, his passport to the king, dom when Gabriel blows his trumpet would indeed be there. The above report comes from Monroe, a part of the county where Bryan has done the principal part, of his campaign work; a part of the county where Professor Holm is not known and has never visited. E. L. Bryan, with his small following,, appear to be straining every nerve in the way of circulating any' and all kinds of reports which they may think detrimental to the iuterest of his worthy opponent. It is said that Professor Holm is comparatively a stranger in Benton county ;this is true, but to their astonishment, he is making friends wherever he goes and isjdcveloping a strength under which their boasted majority cf two hundred is fast disappearing and it would doubtless be to the interest of E. L. Bryan were he also a a stranger, particularly to voters of Phil math precinct, as will be clearly demon strated on the 4th day of June next. There has developed a general dissatis faction with his official administration; he is charged with not visiting the schools of the county as the law requires. He is also charged with partiality in the examinations in granting' certificates to applicants above their grades and denying others where their grades entitle them to pass, as one lady is said to have expressed it in Corvallis some time since, that she obtained a first-grade certificate because her brothers electioneered and worked for Bryan two years ago. He is also charged with nsing his official capacity in the interest of teachers belong ing to certain factions to the detriment of others better qualified, but not belonging'to said certain factions. In. conclusion, Mr, Editor, I appeal to the voters of Benton county in order that we may have an honest and impartial administration of our school affairs in the coming two years to vote for R. F. Holm for county school superin tendent. A Votes. BRIEF LOCALS. New goods weekly at-Nolan's. See Nolan's fine black suits at $15.00.

The annual city election passed off qnietly last Monday, resulting in the election for councilman of Thomas Samuels, in the first ward, James R. Smith in the second, and W. T. Peet in the third. The state law provides that the county school superintendent shall make out annually by the 30th of June a finance re port to the county court. No such report has been filed during the incumbency of the present inefficient superintendent. We are reliably informed that the en gagement, of Miss M. L. Manning and E. L. Bryan has been canceled by the young lady in order that Ed. may have more time to devote to the five or six other young ladies to whom he is said to be bethrothed. Miss Nellie M.

Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure de afness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur faces. . - We will give One Hundred Dollars for an v case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The political canvass opened in this precinct today, The meeting was called to order about 1 o'clock aud a rather small audience greeted the populist candi dates aud Hon, Tolbert Carter, who were the only ones on the grounds until the ar rival of the train about 4 p. m., on which were the rest of the pominees for the dif ferent offices. Hon. Tolbert Carter, being o:i the sick list, retired early, and Maj. Bruce, populist candidate for joint senator, took advantrge of this and made the remark that Carter was a gold bug aud a million aire, but neglected to remark at the same time that he was worth at' least three time as much money as Hon. Tolbert, and just as much a gold bug. The boys of the town had a little fun at the expense of the populists this day. Of course we all know that it is customary at this time of the year for cigars to be parsed rather freely. Of c irse the pops were tackled fur-cigars aud p isiuveiy reruse'i. iney vainly tried 1 r so ne time to j e su de them to produc , but all to no' purpose. Filially the boys grew weary, and taking up a collection among themselves, bought a box of cigars and passed them around among the popp, but the Right Houorab'e Felix Dodele, he of the Horr fame, eagerly grabled for one an 1 it was a source of great laughter for tbe boys. notes. , This precinct will give, the republican ticket a Rood m;.j.tity. Korthauer and Smith are making friends rapidly and are sure of election. Dr. Lee is, so fur, consicious by his al -sence. Good scheme, as he will make votes by it Blodgett, May 22. Quite an audience of ladies and gentlemen greeted the candidates here today. The meeting was held in the warehouse and w: s presided over by J y Harris, who filled the b II to a dot. Maj. Bruce was the first ou the list and ranted around for fifteen min utes, which, by the way, is the time now allotted to all the candidates, telling how the old parties were rotten, oh, well, you know what they say, the same old story. Tolbert Carter followed in one of his sensi ble talks and made many friends. He is making friends rapidly. Tolbert told the people how he had been instructed in the repub'ican principles by Judge Cheuoweth, who is on the canvass running the party down for all he is worth. Thos. Stakley snirted awhile for the 0:)s. Money! M'tney! is all he can say. John Daly fol lowed with a neat speech and referred to the parties by saying that , the two old parties hail a record and the 'other had a scheme.. Felix Dodele. who has been dub bed "Crazy Felix,", showed his eloquence for his allotted time, and five minutes more, which was given ' him by Mr. Daly. If Felix gets any worse a commission will be appointed to examine into his sanity. Something is surely wrong, for' when you staml close to him the buzzing of cogwheels iu his head can be plainly heard. A. F. Herelnier now made a few remarks which were well received. At this juncture Dodele flew to his feet again and caused Chairman Harris to call him down grace fully. The several candidates for school superintendent were introduced and spoke a few words. Miss Harrington stated that she was one -of the schemers men tioned by Mr. Daly. She didn't make the impression she thought she would wi.h the boys. Hufford and Cauthorn closed the mseting with short speeches. "Crazy Felix" tried to hold the crowd longer but failed. Wresn, May 23. Meeting called to order at 1 :30 by the chairman. Here, as at other points, the republican ticket is gaining strength. Honest Tol. Carter told the voters in his usual candid way that if elected he would represent the people of the two counties to the best of his ability. His sincerity can not be doubted, and his high sense of honor so thoroughly impresses his listeners that he is making many friends on the canvass. John Daly said that the rcheme of the "scheming" party was to scheme Pen noyer inte the U. S. .senate, but their scheme wouldn't work. If M. H. Bruiik was op hand he would stand no show by the side of our Daly. Korthauer has got onto the political string and is gaining admirer) all along. ' "Crazy Felix" is determined to go to Salem at any cost, and the chances are that he will get there fur a few months' stay in the asylum for the feeble-minded. At this point is where Osburn and his henchmen hrst sprung the embezzlement racaet on George Smith, which is known to be an in famous lie, and instead of injuring Smith, it is doing him good. lUe voters put no credence in it and consider it a blackmail ing scheme on the part of Osburn to defeat his opponent.

An indictment was iound by the grand jury of Lincoln county, last Tuesday, against Cyrus Burleigh charging him with assault with intent to commit rape upon his little 12-year old grand daughter. Burleigh is an old decrepid person who lived with his family last winter in the Diller house, and is the father of "Big Six," a notorious female character, who married a fellow by the name of Irish, and for a time last spring lived in a tent on the flat just south of town. The crime is alleged to have been committed at the home of his daughter near Nashville. The girl's condit:ra was first discovered by one of the neighbors named Altree. At first the girl refused to tell them the circumstances but the little thing J woa 11 11 any inuueeu 10 expose me matier on De ing assured that no harm would come to her at the hands of her relatives. - The old man plead not guilty to the charge and claims that other parties had been committing wrongs upon her person. If the reports that reach Corvallis re garding this matter are true the whole outfit should be dealt with in the most severe manner. The family bore by no means a savory reputa tion while residing in this city and our people considered it good riddance to bad rubbish when they pulled up stakes and vamoosed. I.ATBB. Burleigh was tried yesterday, found guilty and sentenced to p years in the Peni tentiary. He was escorted to his new home today by Deputy Sheriff Ball of Lincoln county. Memorial Services. Memorial Sunday will be appropriately ob served in this city with services at the opera house at 11 o'clock. The G. A. R. post, relief corps and the sons of veterans will attend in a body. Music will be furnished by the O. A. C. quartette and a large choir of mixed voices and the sermon will be preached by Rev. Powell. Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning a committee from Benjamin Harrison camp, Sons of Veterans, will decorate the graves of all old soldiers buried in the county. At 1:30 Wednes day the parade will form at G. A. R. head quarters, iu which the pablic school ceildren, the O. A. C cadets under the command ol Lieut. C. E. Dentler, the various civic societies and the post, corps and sons of veterans will participate.

Democratic State Candidates Visit Corvallis and Speak to a Good Audience; At tbe Opera House last Thrfrsday .even ing a good sized audience met id listen to speeches by the nominees on the democratio ticket for governor, for congress, state treasurer and superintendent of public in struction. The countenance ot each of these genial gentlemen betrayed the fact that each of them recognized be Was leading a forlorn hope. The audience was nnen thusiastic aui attempts on the part of the speakers to create a Huw bt party enthus iasm proved futile. .Mr. Galloway seemed to impress his listeners tbat be was sincere and would not steal if elected, as the pres ent democratic governor does. His most pertinent suggestion was that his hearer should go to their homes and meditate 111 e finnn nav sum T.nnn unrmui himself and Mr. Lord. This suggestion was unnecessary, lhe people bad already concluded to vote for Lord. Mr. Weather ford was next introduced and aimlessly led off to river and harbor improvements, evi dsutly forgetting for the time that river and harbor appropriations were the result of the fostering care of the republican party. This, however, is usual with that party, which has always lagged a decide behind, only to pick up some thread of progress made popular by republican enterprise against democratic opposition. He at tempted to answer tbe arguments of Mr. Hetmann regarding tbe effect of the Wil son bill on the hop, prune and lumber in terests of this couDtry by asserting that some of the commodities had found sale at better prices since the "change" thau be fore, which is certainly no argument that these industries will not suffer much dam age, if uot total destruction, if the Wilson bill becoir.es a law. He stated tbat our sawmills were shipping cargoes of lumber to South America and elsewhere on the.; same waves that carried the lumber of British Columbia to the same foreign ports, but failed to show that the United States would become the chief market for Cu nadian lumber if that commodity was placed on the free list. He failed to state that a home market was the best market and that by destroying it a destruction of other interests would inevitably follow. In speaking of the grain bags he cited an establishment in Oakland, Cal., that was manufacturing sacks-fostered by the tariff which cost the poor farmer so much, and declared that the factory gave employment to a few whites and a good many Chinamen, and then with tearful eyes complained that Chinamen aud manufacturer were robbiug the farmers aud the wool growers. Bat the spe ker said nothing regarding the recent treaty promulgated hy Cleveland, Yang Yu and Wong Quong Gresham that will render all our Chinese restriction laws void and again flood tbe country, with this class of pauper lalxr. The nam of Cleveland was not mentioned by any of .the speakers and the present administration was only incidentally referred to. It ie probable they are not proud of the record being made by the party whose principle they espousa and the acts of tha present democratic governor seem t be contem plated with remorse. Mr. Davidson. Ith party's nominee for state treasurer, who ie known as a chronic office hunter during m period of. at least. 15 years, spoke in ny thing but a brilliant manner. The principal thing he said was: "Now my fellow; citizens I jut want to get hold of that sack, which Phil Metschan now has his fingers v on." There is little donbt bat Mr. Metscnan will continue to hold it lour year longer. Mr. Reid closed the meeting vM a sort of an apology for Davidson and finished with some slurring remarks about his opponent, Mr. Irwin.
