pointed by President
Dalles Cotumercikl Club,
Like the attainment of
dream, beginning so long
that the first impressions are obliterated
from memory, comes this definite prom
ise from Capt. Fisk' to the people of tbe
Dalles. It is like tbe sight of land to an
ocean-tossed mariner; the glimpse of
the waving palms of the desert oasis to
a thirsty and footsore wanderer upon
the burning sands of Sahara. Hope has
been deferred until it has made the
heart-etek, broken promises strew tbe
weary pathwav of past ambitions;
many have died waiting for the event of
next Thursday, which they believed
-with the utmost confidence would have
occurred years ago. Oilt; citizens all re
member old Linns Hubbard, one of the
most iixjjfaligable workers tor an open
river, alwayio petal, always confident,
but who wentfco the old home in Ro
chester, and there passed over that
darker stream, the river of death, hisf
life hopes unrealized. And he was but
one of a thousand who expected to live
to see a fleet of boats in the Columbia at
The Dalles direct from salt water. Many
of our citizens yet are loth to believe
that the event is ectcally at band. In
further confirmation we anrionnce that
Mr. E. C. Wiley, for a long time gov
ernment inspector at the locks, has jast
been ordered to a changer ot quarters.
The locks are built, and there ia no fur
ther need lor his services. Mr. Wiley
has been ordered to St. Louis to super
intend work upon the Mississippi
dredgers. His family will follow in
about three weeks.
All of the committees appointed, by
the Commercial Club are requested to
meet at the Scbanno'hall tonight at
7:30 o'clock, and plans will be at once
entered upon for tbo most gigantic cele
bration that has ever occurred in our
history. .

' TJ-IE BRYAN MEETING.
Bennett of Tbe Dalles and Smith and
Xolanrt of Astoria.
Messrs. Smith and Xolarid of Astoria,
and our intelligent townsman, Mr. A. S. !
Bennett, of whom, notwithstanding the
politics of the partv with which he is
unfortunately affiliated, we are excus- I
ably proud, divided tbe time u the
Baldwin last evening. The first two
of the gentlemen named ' made short
bat ingenious speeches, and were fol
lowed by Mr. Bennett in a speech of
about two hourp length. When he ap
peared before' the audience he was
greeted with a flattering ovation in the
way of applause which visibly affected
him. He opened with a quotation of
tbe familiar verse which has immortal-
ized John Howard Payne, "Home, j
Sweet Home," in a voice filled with ;
emotion. Words of a gifted orator have
a remarkable effect upon homogenious
audiences. As Mr! Bennett progressed
he threw into his speech all of his great
talent as an advocate at the bar. With
the same apparent earnestness and
truthfulness he would plead tor a guilty
wretch who hali committed murder
most foul, he now plead for the advent
of a national disaster which would follow
independent free coinage by the United
States, free 1 trade, and victory, at the
polls of the maddened masses, frenzied
by anarchistic speeches against the rich.
Jefferson Davis did not urge secession
with more consummate tact or con
spicuous ability than did Mr. Bennett
argue for repudiation by paying our
debts with a 50-cent dollar. It is true,
he claimed that under free coinage of
silver by the United States alone there
would be no 50-cent dollars, that Ihis
country can make . the silver dollar
worth 100 cents in gold by saying it
shall be worth 100 cents, but when the
long listof nations which he quoted that
are now on the gold standard, give to
silver tbe ratio only as 32, to 1, who but
tbe reckless and unreasoning can say
the United States can sustain the tre
mendous load that the difference would
indicate? This is the faulty link a the
chain which otherwise Mr. Bennett
showed-to be reasonably . strong, but it
is the link which might precipitate us
into the abyss. With that link shown
to be secure, none would regret giving
to silver its ancient value, make it what
the Republican party .expect to make
it by international agreement, at
a ratio of 16 to 1, and restore its
value as a primary money. That is
what the Republican party promises to
promote in its platform, and they be
lieve it is the only safe and conservative
way to da it. Mr. Scboon maker has
shown to us how we may force England,
presumably the most obstinate of all
these nations, to this agreement.
Mr. Bennett is among the few Demo
cratic, Populistic or silver Republican
speakers who have thus far appeared in
The Dalles, who has . not abused the
bankers and business men. and charged
them with being particept crimini to an
alleged gigantic conspiracy. He was
therefore respectively and attentively
listened to, and did 'much by that
means to promote a friendlier feeling
between the two great parties who are
now racked and torn by what they im
agine to be contending interests.

A Word to Democrats.
Democrats, Before yon vote, if you
do vote Tuesday, ponder well these un
disputed truths : .
1. The Chicago convention was ir
regular. 2. Tbe Chicago convention adopted a
Populist platform and nominated Popu
list candidates, y
3. Political jugglers ! in Oregon re
moved Mr. Sewall, but you have Palmer
and Buckner, who have no idea of being
elected.
4. The Chicago platform means revo
lution. Bryan is a bolter and a revolu
tionist. ' '
5. Those who stand for principles
vindicate their honor. "
