IT WAS ALL ONE .WAY.
The McKinley Parade Eclipsed Tbat of
Kryan SchoonmaKer's Speech.
Republicanism was everywhere trium
phant in The Dalles laat night. Such
scenes of enthusiasm were never wit
nessed upon the streets of our bright,
bustling city as were seen yesterday
afternoon and evening, when the cohorts
of Bryan and McKinley struggled, figur
atively, for- supremacy. Preparations
were made on both sides for great
things, as it was known that the demon
strations at length would determine the
political complexion of The Dalles and
decide beyond doubt who would carry
Wasco county next November. Enthu
siasm was rife and men were stirred to
their deepest feeling, 'who at other timea
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
doed nature. After a detour around
several-blocks the Popbcrats 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
for the past two mouths.
When the Bryan parade had spent its
force, expectation centered upon the
McKinley men and the crowds upon
the sidewalks surged nearer the edges
in their eagerness to see what promised
to le the biggest affair of its kind ever
held . in Eastern . Oregon. And no one
was disappointed. Second -street wag
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
Marshal Farley gave the order to march
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 countrya 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 bouses were
lit up 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 sat the distinguished guest and
speaker, Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker. He
was kept busy lifting his hat 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
house which was already filled with ex
pectant listeners.
The contrast between . the scepea at
the court house and in the opera house
was diamal for the Popocrata. Fully
three timea aa many people crowded to
hear Mr. Schoonmaker as gathered to
listen to the famous pitchfork anarchist.
Upon the stage were seated many well
known Republicans. The stage was
beantiiully decorated, while a life-sized
picture of Major McKinle?, wreathed in
the national colors, gave inspiration to
the scene. '
The singing by the Glee Club, com
posed of twenty-four voices, was beauti
fully done and appreciated by the audi
ence, while the solo .by- Mr. John
Hampshire, with chorus by the club to
the tune of "Paradise Alley,' provoked,
repeated applause.
In a very neat and pleasing introduc
tion President Crowe presented Mr.
Schoonmaker, who was greeted -with
long continued applause by the audi
ence. After saying tbat he had never
seen a demonstration of this magnitude
in a city of this size, and paying pleas
ant tributes to the people, the band
and the Glee Club, he launched forth
into his subject.
That he was complete master of his
subject no one who listened to him will
for a moment question. He devoted
about one hour to the discussion 'of the
tariff. By reason of his personal ac
quaintance with the glove manufactur
ing business of New Jersey, be 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 of farm product?, stimulates
competition and improved methods, all
of which tends toward prosperity of the
nation. In the same manner, using the
watch industry, he -proved that the
American people, by the aid of a protec
tive tariff, established the industry here,
make better watches and sell them
cheaper - than the manufacturers of
Switzerland. His presentation ' of the
reciprocity law was peculiarly clear and
forcible, and the great ' invention of
James G. Blaine to stimulate American
commerce was so explained tbat every
listener understood its advantages.
Closing bis address upon the tariff, he
suggested music by the band, after
which be discussed the "boodle" ques
tion. . Hia illustrations were extremely
simple, and so clear that children could
understand it. He abowed how Bryan
proposed to make 32 ounces of silver,
which -. every man can now procure
with the .money equivalent of one
ounce in gold or -other currency, ccst
twice as much ; how the wheat raiser
Senator Tillman.
The great bugaboo from South Caro
lina has come and gonfti- The Bryan
club here put forth some herculean ef
forts and actually got up a parade.
There were some 150 in line, about half
of whom were provided with torchep
and banners, one of the latter inscribed
as follows: "The Millions Against the
Miilieniers." These, with about 150 by
standers, ranged up at the court houpe
corner,1 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,
aa they marched by, a block distant. I)
was full fifteen minutes before- he could
make himself heard and the interim
was filled by an occasional sentence
from the pitchfork orator, meant to W
sarcastic or derisive. Mr. Tillman said
nothing new of value to hia ownadber
ents or any one else. He preached the
gospel of repudiation in the orthodox
way, varied only by that acrimony of
statement for which be is noted. Whilr
it will be of no interest to reproduce
anything he said upon the monetary
question, for be said nothing that hat
not been refuted time and again, and
while it is impossible to report bis tariff
viewa, for he left these absolutely to
conjecture, it might be of interest to
state some of hia - extravagancies on
what he pretended to believe would be
the outcome of the election. First, ht
eaid Oregon would" go for Bryan, and
that ' he had so informed Chairman
Jones. The cheer tbat greeted thip
statement was somewhat marred by the
shouting of the McKinley parade, no
two blocks distant, but with fatuous in
difference tbey pretended not to hear it,
and continued to wboop for Br-r-r-ryan.
Hecl aimed also, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan', Ohio and New York, and if
he hadn't choked a little' bit when he
mentioned the Empire state, he 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 hia own im
portance, for an Oregon audience is in
dulgent. '.
Judged by the respective turnouts and
the enthusiasm of each, The Dalles will
go about 3 to 1 for McKinley.
