keep them there until after the election.

things, as it was known that the demon
strations at length, would determine the
political complexion of The Dalles and
decide beyond donbt who would carry
Wasco county next November. Enthu
siasm was rife and men were stirred to
their deepest feeling, who at other times
are remarkable for composure and con
servatism.
All day long strangers were arriving
from different parts of Sherman, Klick
itat and Wasco counties, till it is esti
mated that nearly 700 people from out
lying precincts were in The Dalles.
Shortly after 7 o'clock the Bryanites
started their procession ' up Second
street. The sidewalks were packed with
people, but the cheering was of a sub
dued nature. - After a detour around
several blocks the Popocrats wound up
at the court house yard, where a large
stand bad been erected to serve Senator
Tillman's purposes. Upon the platform
were seated the noted Popocratic leaders
of The Dalles, whose voices have' been
heard resonant upon our street corners

reciprocity law was peculiarly clear and
forcible, and 'the great invention of
James G. Blaine to stimulate American
commerce was so explained that every
listener understood it" advantages.
Ciosing his address upon the tariff, he
suggested music by the . band;', after
which he discussed the "boodle" ques
tion. His illustrations were extremely
simple, and so clear that children could
understand it. He showed how Bryan

His address tbronghout was bristling
with patriotism, wit and good sense,
and hiB large audience was convinced
that his contention was the proper
thing for the American people.

The Goldendale Sentinel speaks very
highly of The Dalles speakers who went
over Into' that country, among them
Messrs. Jotin Michell, Hugh Gourley,
H. S. Wilson, F. W. Wilson and N. J
Sinnott. The Sentinel says': The state
of Oregon is admittedly safe for McKin
ley. A thorough and safe canvass of
that Btate shows that it has been taken
from the list of doubtful states, and will
give the Republican ticket from 6000 to
10,000 majority. It is only a question of
majorities in our Bister state.
When the Bryan parade bad spent its
force, expectation centered upon the
McKinley men and the crowds upon
the sidewalks surged nearer the edg
in their eagerness to see what promised
to )e the biggest affair of its kind ever
held in Eastern Oregon. And no one
was disappointed. Second street was
ablaze with torches as enthusiastic men
stood in line waiting for the signal to
march. The large supply of torches pro
vided by the McKinley club was soon
exhausted and the doors of the building
were thronged by men asking that they
might assist in the good , work. When
A trainload of lambs, comprising Marshal Fariey gfive the order t0 march
4;000 head, were sent to Kansas City to
day by Mr. Geo. A. Young & Son. They
are the finest trainload of lamba ever
leaving The DalleB. They are but six
months old, but are full grown and fat.
Mr. Young and son sold them to A. J.
Knollin & Co. for f 1.50 per head at the
ranch. They are half-breed Shrop
fshires, demonstrating that it is twice as
profitable to raise blooded sheep in six
months for $1.50 than 2-year-old
weathers at the same money. . The
trainload is for the mutton market,
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Brooks returned

While there Mr. Brooks observed two
monster vessels, the Konura Maru and
the Yami Gucbi Maru, loading with
1,500,000 feet of lumber for use on Jap
an's new navy docs. Another large
vessel from Japan is due this week,
loaded with 6,000 tons of tea. The dry
dock at Port Orchard is the third largest
in the world. The Umatilla, a vessel
over 400 feet in length, was raised while
Mr. Brooks was absent. It was loaded
with a cargo of goods, all of which went
to the bottom. Smuggling on a large
scale was discovered by the accident,
Barrels ostensibly containing sugar con
tained small casks of whisky, which
were billed to Juneau, and which by
being labeled sugar would escape the

casks melted and they were easily
detected by rattling around "in the
barrels. The pumps which were
used in raising the boat were mammoth
affairs, capable of pumping 10,000 gal-
ons an hoar.
Tillman Was Picked Up.
Tillman, in bis Pendleton address,
challenged any Republican to meet him
in joint debate, stating he had made at
tempts ever since the beginning of the
campaign to secure joint debates with
Republicans, but bad failed. At the
close of the afternoon speaking, Lot
Livermore, after consultation with other
members of the Republican county cen
tral committee and John C. Leasure of
Portland, made the following proposi
tion: "John C. Leasure of Portland
will divide time with you at the court
house this evening, if agreeable to yon,
as follows : . You to open the meeting,
speak for one hour or less, if you desire,
Mr. Leasure to follow, and be limited to
one nour and a naif, you to havevan
hour to close."
The reply to the challenge was that
the evening meeting was intended for
Francis Clarno, whose time he could
not consistently dispose of. Several
communications passed without avail.
Tillman esked Leasure to debate next
day at La Grande. Leasure refused.

there swung into line the grandest
parade The Dalles or any Eastern Ore
gon city ever witnessed. Five hundred
men marched with even step to the
patriotic music of our proficient band
There were all conditions of life repre
sented. Old men, with halting steps
and young men with exuberant spirits;
veterans who had risked their life to
save the country's honor once and who
are willing to do it now. Farmers,
laborers, merchants, doctors and lawyers
all united in one magnificent outburst of
patriotism. As the long column -swept
down Second street the scene beggars
description. Our business houses were
lit ap by illuminations of red fire, while
skyrockets ascending at regular inter
vals made trails of glory across the
heavens. Men, women and children
shouted themselves hoarse, while from
the marching men there came volley
after volley of hurrahs. The Dalles
never saw such a scene as last night's
parade. In a carriage with Col. Sin
nott, ex-Gov. Moody and Mayor Mene-
fee eat the distinguished guest and
speaker, HonF. X. Scboon maker. He
was kept busy lifting his bat In ac
knowledgment of tributes of cheers and
it was easy to see that he was deeply
impressed by the demonstration. After
marching down the length of town the
procession stopped at the Vogt opera
bouse which was already filled with ex
pectant listeners.
The contrast between the eceneeat
the court house and in the opera house
was dismal for the Popocrats. Fully
three times as many people crowded to
bear Mr. Schoonmaker as gathered to
listen to the famous pitchfork anarchist.
The great bugaboo from South Caro
lina has come and gone. The Bryan
club here put forth Rome herculean ef
forts and actually got op a parade.
There were some 150 in line, about half
of whom were provided with torches
and banners, one of the latter inscribed
as follows: "The Millions Against the
Millieniers." These, with about 150 by-
slanders, ranged up at the court house
corner, when Tillman began speaking.
He had not spoken more than a few
sentences when he was interrupted by
the noise made by the McKinley hosts,
as they marched by, a block distant. It
was fall fifteen minutes before be could
make himself heard and the interim
was filled by an occasional sentence
from the pitchfork orator, meant to be
sarcastic or derisive. Mr. Tillman said
nothing new of value to his own adher
ents or any one else. He preached the
gospel of repudiation in the orthodo:
way, varied only by that acrimony of
statement for which he is noted. While
it will be of no interest to reproduce
anything' he .said upon the monetary
question, for he said nothing that has
not been refuted time and again, and
while it is impossible to report his tariff
views, for he left these absolutely
conjecture, it might be of interest to
state some of bis extravagancies on
what he pretended to believe would be
the outcome of the election. .First, he
said Oregon would go for Bryan, and
that he ' had so informed Chairman
Jones. - The cheer' that greeted this
statement was somewhat marred by the
shouting of the McKinley parade, now
two blocks distant, bat with fatuous in'
difference they pretended not to hear it
and continued to wboop for Br-r-r-ryan
He claimed also, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Ohio and New York, and if
be hadn't choked a little bit when he
mentioned the Empire state, be may
perhaps have continued up through the
northeast and included Maine and Ver
mont. He said Aitgeld would be re
elected governor of Illinois and that he
could be elected governor of South
Carolina again if he wanted to. The
small crowd listened quite patiently
while he was recounting bis Own im
portance, for. an Oregon audience is in'
duleent.
Judged by the respective turnouts and
the enthusiasm of each, The Dalles will
go about 3 to 1 for McKinley.

That he was complete master of his

uhoiit one hour to the discussion of the
tariff.. By reason of his personal ac
quaintance with the glove manufactur-
ng business of New Jersey,- he used this
industry to demonstrate the claims of
the tariff advocates ; that a protective
tariff does not raise the price, but does
decrease it;' that it gives employment to
consumers ofMarm products, stimulates
competition and improved methods, all j
of which tends toward prosperity of the
nation. In the same manner, using the
watch industry, he proved that the

Young Bendershott's Return.
Detective Cody last night, returned
from The Dalles, bringing with him
Orville Hendershott.the young would-be
self-murderer, wanted here on two
charges of forgery and one tor obtaining
goods under false . pretenses, says the
Portland Telegram.
Hendersbott is but 19 years old,
thrown upon the world without a guid
ing hand, and is more a subject for com
miseration, in certain respects, than se
vere condemnation. On his trip down
be was a trifle communicative with
the officer having him iu charge. The
youth confessed to forging the orders on
Eggert & Yonng, the shoedea'ers, and in
Watson's check restaurant, because he
was shoeless and hungry, without means
or employment to obtain these neces
saries. . He says that after he awoke to
a realization of what he had done, he
wanted to kill himself, and he is sorry
that he was not successful.
"Hendersbott is nob a natural crimi
nal," remarked a detective, who is
as close a student of human nature as
any man ot nis calling, "and here is a
chance for true Cbtistian spirit to come
to the front and do something for a boy,
who might not possibly, but may prob
ably yet become a good man if some one
would take him in band. Did my in
come warrant it, I'd just risk it upon
turning a good man out of this boy n lio's
