Your correspondent had Ihe pleasure of attending a discussion on thetarilt question a few evenings sine between two Elliott Trairie republicans and two Whiskey Hill democrats, and if the democratic crowd that was there that even ing nas a fair representation of the demo cratic party ire don't want any of it. Por ing the time the republicans were speaking the democrats throughout Ihe crowd would laugh and sneer, and try in various ways to confuse and bother tha speakers. The chairman had repeatedly to rail for order. For shame ! for shame, boys, on such con duct! At this lima we should give the most earnest attention to the great political question which so much demands it. Al though we may not be listening to eloquent speakers yet by careful and close attention we cannot help catching some thoughts that will be a benefit to us. Remember, boys, that these young men are making their first attempt in proclaiming to the people their views on the tariff or any other question. Remember, too, that not one ot you w ho had the audacity to participate in such conduct has the courage to get up before an audi ence and make a speech of any kind. G. C. I'e.-due and family nude a trip to Silverton Inst Saturday, returning Sunday'. We would advise our democratie friend who took part in the discussion on Ihe tariff question the other evening, to get his speeches out of something larger than the "populist primer," as it is commonly called, and when be gives figures to tell what they are for. That is Ihe reason his aide lost the question. He did state what he wished to prove with his figures. Some of our republicans attemied the club at Needy last Saturday evening. They re port having had a good time. We note with pleasure that the people are waking up and giving more attention to politics, and when they do that we know it means a gain to the republican party.
