He spoke of Mr. Furnlsh's former Democracy and then spoke of the he roes of the great panic caused by Dem ocratic misrule: the Demo-rats who thought more, of the people and the country than . a .political name and came over to a party, which they had so long fought and stayed with it be cause they thought it was right, were heroes In the true sense of the word, and they were honorable men and we were doing well in honoring Mr. Fur nish for his bold stand for right. He discovered his bad company and had the manhood to abandon it, and stood by the people In preserving the indus tries, the credit and honor cf the coun try. The panic under Democratic misrule was a severer blow to the country then the wars; it was a meat and bread proposition to the men and their wives and children, and It was a hero. In deed, who stood to his guns and voted against the still howling demagogues who said Republicans would mae It worse, especially when a votec was fighting his former friends. Comparing Mr. Furnish and Mr. Chamberlain a bankers, he showed that as a banker, Mr. Furnish had taken hold of a banking Institution In a railing condition and pulled it through and that It did not owe a dollar In the world; that Mr. Cham berlain, as director and cashier of a bank at Albany, had permitted his bank to fall and the creditors were st'H mourning over their losses. He made no personal reflections Vut these were the facts. He showed that the Democratic ora tors, of which Mr. Chamberlain was principal, had deliberately misstated an over the state the matter concern ing the salaries of the state officers; they had charged that the state officers had been drawing salaries beyond the constitutional limit; and they had also stated the amounts drawn largely in excess of the real amounts drawn un der the law. He had offered to forfeit 1100 everywhere If they would disprove his statements but they had dodged the Issue and gone on making the mis statements. ';,."'''' Mr. Chamberlain at one point had been for the Democratic ticket and at another had been solely for h'm- the men I used to think great; when I beheld that towering legislator with one arm extended toward high heaven, while the other hand pointed to the harmless little flshwheels, when I heard that resonate voice, tempered by eloqucnre, until It sounded like the gentle cooing of an Innocent babe when I saw that majestic bunchgraas statesman, his raven black hair dis heaveled like a lion's mane; when I saw that flery flash in his "goo goo" eyes, the flush of Indignation on his sun tanned cheeks.my eyes opened In wonderment, my soul wa enraptured; T was Indeed charmed and I said to my self: we from Astoria are 1'ke the pro verbial 30 cents, alongside the sena tor from Crook. Yes, we seemed but little rats attack ing a lion; but when the awe of the moment had passed like an irredes- I cent dream and I felt myself, I was wafted at the first sight of Mr, Wil liamson, I resolved: that great as was this illustrious "flshwheelman," the In terests of 3000 fishermen and 3000 more men and women who work In the can neries, the Iron works, the can factory and the box factories, all of whom are dependent uporr each other, were still of some Importance, and that I'd rath er be a little rat, carrying crumbs of bread and comfort Into my little nest, than a Hon who is king among the powerful beasts, who wax fat at the expense of a great Industry of this state a Hon who cowes down before a dozen wheelnwners who are destroy ing the salmon just as they are about to reach their natural spawning grounds, but only paws the ground and shows his teeth when the multitude comes near him and asks for redress. A verse from a new song I have heard my children sing lately seems appropriate at this time: "Don't Judge by appearances, but by his actions more; You never know when you may drive a good man from your door. Looks don't make the man, you know, a wise man truly wrote, For many an honest heart may beat beneath a ragged coat." Mr. Huston can call me n small bore politician, a pigmy, a rat or what ever he pleases; It Is on a par with "Fisherman" (?) saying that I am seeking to advertise sox, etc. The peo ple themselves will judge my motives and I fear not what their verdict may be. This newcomer has no idea how j much time, money and labor I have spent on this fish wheel proposition and Astoria he ran pack his little grip and leave.
