Opera House Saturday Night
The bcst'and most largely at
tended republican rally held in
of j Corvallis this
took
i place a'j the cnera
house Jast
! Saturday evening. me spaci-
ous auditorium of the court
j house has been capable of ac
comodating all other sneakers
who have appeared here during
the campaign and it was intend
ed as the place for the meeting
Saturday evening. Early in the
day, however, it became evident
from the large number of people
from the outlying country who
were in town and who expressed
their intention of remaining to
hear Congressman Tongue, and
from the general enthusiasm
manifested by citizens of Cor
vallis, that a larger hall must be
secured. Accordingly printed
posters were circulated announc
ing that the plaoe of meeting
had been changed to the opera
house.
At seven o'clock the band ap
peared on the street and after a
stirring march, mounted he
large open buss of the Occiden
tal hotel and were driven through
the principal streets of the city,
arousing the people with martial
music. They wire accompanied
bythe quartet in a cab, which
sang campaign songs. Prompt ,
ly at eigne tne singers ana musi
cians entered the opera house,
which, notwithstanding the ex
treme inclemency of the weath
er, was filled with eager and en
thusiastic people.
After a soug by tbs quartet
which elicited tin encore win ch
would not be be denied, and a
selection by the band, Chairman
J. B. Irvine, who assured the
audience that ho could scarcely
retrain trpm making- a speecii
himself, introduced Mr. Tongue.
The storm of applause which
greeted . that gentleman was
spontaneous and prolonged. Nev
er has Mr. Tongue made a bet
ter speech in Corvallis, and
never has any speaker been giv
en Defter attention nere. vvuiie
he took Bryan severely to task
for his action in securing the
ratification of the treaty with
Spain and then seeking to shirk
the duties and obligations im
posed by that instrument, Mr.
Tongue's remarks were so fair
and unanswerable that Mr. Bry
an's supporters took no offence
and acknoweledge the truth of
the speaker's assertions. In be
ginning his address Mr. Tongue
said that the many evidences of J
improved business conditions of j
the country during the past four i
years which vindicated the j,
promises and prophecies of the
republioau platform of 1896, and !
tlie splendid manner m which
the administration had carried
out the obligations of that plat
form, should be sufficient to re
elect William McKinley and
continue the republican party in
power. Never had the earnings
of labor been so great and the
earnings of the dollar been so
small as at. tho present time in
this country. The people should
be content to let well enough
alone. All admit that our peo
ple were enjoying excellent
times under the administration
of President Harrison, yet they
were not satisfied and clamored
for a change, and they elected
Mr. Cleveland. The conse
quence of this disastrous move
are too familiar to need discus
sion. The speaker was remind
ed of an inscription on a tomb
stone, beneath which rested the 1
subject of the epitaph: "Iwasj
well; I wanted to be better; here;
1 am."
Mr. Tongue's 'handling of the
Philipine question was masterly
ai-id original. He explained why
Mr. Bryan rushed post haste to
Washington to bring aboufthe
ratification of the treaty with
Spain. Democracy had been
looking for a new leader and a
new issue, and Mr. Bryan, who
is nothia? if he is
politician, was aware of this.
Gorman was leading the fight
against the treaty in the senate.
The eyes &f tho country were
upon him and his name was be-inp-
nttered ofteucr than Brvan's.
! Gorman had b
in a power fit the
! old-line democracy before the
i populistic element of that party
had become enamored of Bryan.
Here then was the candidate,
and the treaty with Spain would
be the issue. But Mr. . Bryan
did not propose to be unhorsed
in this manner, so ho went to
Washington, opposed Gorman's
position on the treaty, secured
its ratification and was ap-ain in
0-.
the saddle. This explains why
Mr. Gorman is not taking part
in the Bryan campaign in Mary
land. Concerning trusts the
speaker said they were confined
co no party' mere were aemo-
crat as well as republican trust?,
j and the BrvailitCS had UO UIOHOD

The only party, which had done
anything to curb them was the
republican party, and it could
be depended noon -to reined v the
"rtr s
evil so far as it was in the power
of any party to dogo. Speaking
of the abolishment of the tariff
as a remedy for trusts, Mr. Ton
gue said that the Tammany ice
trust could find no fault with
this as there was no tariff on ice
and Mr. Croker didn't care how
much was shipped in from tlie
Wet ludes or other points free
of duty. There is no tariff on
copper and Mr. Clarke, of Mon
tana, who has a monopoly in
coppec and was able to contri
bute $iod,coo to the Bryan cam
paign fund, had bo objection.
There, is no tariff on anthracitoi
coal and the coal trust which has
been, experiencing a strike in
Pennsylvania will net object to
having protection abolished.
Mr. Tongue went into details
concerning every subject dis
cussed, giving facts and figures
which were unassailable. At
the close of the address he was
warmly congratulated by numer
ous persons who were in the
audience.
Just About Football.
The Eugene football team seems
to be experiencing some of the dis
appointments and misfortunes
which attended the O A C aggre
gation last season. Some of its
star members are on the sick list,
and a number of her best men have
been iaid on the shelf by sprains
and bruises received in practice.
Last season Eugene was exceed
ing fortunate in this regard, while
O A C. had unusually bad luck,
many of her best men being com
pelled to stay out of practice .for
slight injuries, only to appear in a
match game soft and unfamiliar
with signals.
Eugene's line is badly demoral
ized Jjy the absence of Waddell
and Wagner, who were obliged to
discontinue practice. Edwards,
w ho has had his knee sprained, has
been unable to resume his place at
quarter, and Scott, of last year's
O A C team, is playing that posi
tion. Goodrich, also a member of
O A C team last season, will proba
bly win a ball-back position on the
'varsity. A game between O of O
and a team from the C inital City
Athletic Club of Salem, will be
played at Eugene next Saturday.
The contest promises to be a close
and exciting cue, with the edds
slightly in favor cf Salem. Our
sympathies arc with the university.

of all. His bride is also a native
of this county and is a young lady
of refinement ami education. The

The Philomath Road.
The inclemency of the weather is
tho only thing which now delays
the work of improvement on the
roadlleading to Philomath. Special
Supervisor Thomas Cooper informs
us that he has succeeded in secur
ing a contribution of $80 in cash
and has assurance of enough labor
to make the amount $100. The
-court will appropriate $100 out of
the county funds tomeet this. This
fund of $200 thus raised will sup
ply enough gravel to put the road
in passable condition. Ten tsams
will be employed, and it is estima
ted that each will haul eight or ten
loads per day. At this rate a
week's hauling would complete the
work. The prospects now are for
weather and if this should
I prevail, roans will soon be m con
dition for hauhog.

in the various saloons. About, 2
o'clock Sunday morning, the 30th,
just as he left Whitehorn's saloon
he displayed $85 in gold which he
had been carrying in a tobacco

Young told him to put his money
in his pocket. He did so and im
