hearsals are being held nightly and by
half past two o'clock Saturday after
noon will be completed one of the
most interesting events ever witnessed
in our city.
A gentleman who has made a pretty
careful poll of the vote of Crook county
writes that there wilt be but four pre
cincts in the county that will give a
majority for McKinley, and the ma
jority in these will be more than over
come by the majorities for Bryan in
the other precincts. He also states
that the republicans of Crook are hear
tily tired of Prof. G. M. Irwin and are
denouncing the state committee for
sending him into their midst, since
the speeches be is makinjr are convert
ing voters to Bryan right along.

One christian gentleman s tys Alsea
is going strong for Bryan, he was there
and talked with people; another gentle
man who was there and talked . with
people says it is going big for McKin
ley. This is a good sample of the situa
tion all over the U. S. . One s.ys this
and another says directly the opposite.
We . will all know more about the
business after November ; 3. Albany
Democrat.
A rather laughable incident occurred
near Dufur Tuesday afternoon. Two
gentlemen who were driving away
from Dufur in a wagon, noticing a six
horse rig approaching and supposing
it contained the speakers who were to
address the McKinley club, turned
their wagon across the road and in
formed the driver of the wagonette
that he could not go further unless his
passengers would hurrah for Bryan.
They gave a good hearty Bryan yell,
and were allowed to pass on. They
were not McKinley speakers however,
but delegates to the Christian En-
10. All those holding receipts for
their transportation will receive their
tickets in the car.
Word was received here today of the
death of Rufus A. Roscoe at Victoria,

not agree with him in his political
views, they will be pleased to hear him
talk on any subject.

Iv nothing. They occupied one of
Harry Hexter's houses on the hill,

EX-GOVERNOR LUCE
"For five weeks I lived on cold water,
so to speak," writes a man who suffered
terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly kepp anything on
his stomach. What stayed, wasn't
properly digested and gave him ter
rible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys
peptics don't get enough nourishment.
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough Much of what they eat
tuns into poison. If this0 keeps on
there's no teUing what disease they
may get next. " '
That's why it U b9st to take Shaker :
Digestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms
of indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion,
and prevents the evils which indiges
tion causes.

Hon. Cyrus W. Luce, tvrnje govern
or of Michigan has for years been one
of the strongest advocates of the free
coinage of silver in the republican par
ty, and it is only reasonable to sup
pose he would be found on the side of
Brvan in this camDuign. however the
Associated Hress claims to haveadireci
statement from bini that he will not.
As evidence of what position he will
take In the present controversy, th
Democrat, published at Bad Ax-
Michigan, prints the following letter
from the ex-governor:
"In 1878 the BUnd-AUison act wa
passed. This restored the lejjal tender
righis to silver. It also provided for
the coinage of S2,000,000 monthly
During tho pendency of this bill the
same predictions were louoiy maae
that we hear now, that gold would for
ever take its departure if the bill be
came a law, but during tae twelve
years it was in force w more than
doubled our supnly of gold and paid off
more than a billion of tho national
debt. Further agitation of the subject
gave to us the Sherman bill. During
all this time both parties wore pledg
ing this country to the use of both
gold and silver as standard money
With this promise so'emnly made th
couutrv rested content, although nei
ther of the bills gavtj to silver its birth
right But when President Clevel iui
declared that hilver must go, I, in com
mou with many others, took alarm, al
though in or.v :ts lif.i 1 fought th" re
peal desperately. 0:1 the 8th of July
1893, I 'wrote a loiter to a friend, in re-
ply to an inquiry similar to tho one
you make of mo now. In that letter I
outlined the results of an uncondition
al repeal of the Sherman law. Suffice
it to say that my worst fears have been
realized. I said then and now repeat
that there is not gold enough in the
world to Berve as a sole measure of
value and sustain established prices.
For selling purposes tho shrinkage in
values of the average property has
been at least 25 per cent, and this is to
be continued unless in some way gold
is given assistance in the discharge of
duties imposed upon it. The measure
of values is made larger and larger and
necessarily the prices of products grow
lower. This inflicts an awful injustice
upon the debtor class including the
government it elf. The only relief in
sight is to authorize the use of silver
as an assistant to gold.' Their usp as
money has given to both of these meV
als a large share of their value?. The
immediate restoration of silver, to its
time honored position would doubtless
create some disturbance, but I do not
share to any extent the fears of the re
al gold men, and while I am Very anx
ious for such an adjustment as will
maintain the parity of the two metals
yet if this cannot be done, speaking in
the name of eternal justice, I prefer to
run the risk of free coinage and silver
monometalism, than to follow the road
we are now traveling."

Savage had gotten most of the exhibits
in place, and at boon the doors wee
thrown open to the public.
The pavillion is not so well filled as

are some creditable displays. The

THE TIIIE.O BRYAN it ALLY.
Very Large Audience Greeted Mr.
Weatherford at the Baldwin.
When the Bryan fife and drum corps
marched through the streets of The
Dallas Tuesdayeveninganaouncing the
opening of the Baldwin for the third
Bryan rally, people began pouring in
from all directions and in a remark
ably short time that spacious hall was
filled to its utmost seating capacity.
Mr. Weatherford was introduced by
Judge Story, president of The Dalles
Bryan club, and at once entered into a
discussion of tho. money question, and
frequently quoted from Mr. Blaine and
Mr. Mitchell to show that the con
traction of the currency, through the
demonetization of silver, is the cause
of the present depressed conditions
which have grown npon the country,
reducing the price of labor and its pro
ducts gradually since the enactment of
the coinage law of 1873. To remedy
this condition the speaker held the
only safe method was in the opening
of the mints to the unrestricted coin
age of all the money metals that might
be presented. '
In closing, Mr. Weatherford paid a
gwiog tribute to Bryan, whom be
pictured as the candidate, not of. any
particular .party, but of the masses of
of the people, one in whom all would
find a friend and an advocate, one who
would administer the government in
the interest of the masses, and not for
a favored few.
The fact that the dredger Ecterp-is
A'hich Day Bros, brought from Port
land to dredge out the upper end of the
anal at Cascado Locks, failed to per
form the work ind had to be taken
back to Portland, caused considerable
uneasiness in this city lest, this.--would
hinder the opening of the locks, but
the fear becms to be without founda'
tion.
On hearing the report the TlMES-
Mountaineek wrote Messrs. Day,
and Tuesday was informed that
they are constructing a dredger of
their own which will -be in readines:
o operate within ten days, the scow
s now completed, and machinery for
the dredger is on the way to Ca
ades. Further they Pay the channel
leading to either end of the canal is
now open sufficiently to admit the pas
sage cl the largest boats on the river,
hence if the rem iining dredging is not
completed by the tim vtho canal is fin
ished it will not inmrfere with traffic,
though the contractors expect to have
the canal completed and all the . dredg
ing done before Nov. 15, so there will
b n i:np sHrnunt to t-ra.'Hc on the riv-
r by that date. i.
. This morning tht contractors began
laying the fifth tier of stone on the
north wall, and at the rate of two tiers
in threo days, which they are' able to
lay. the canal will be finished before
the specified time. Taking everything
into consideration, there is no imme
diate cause for alarm regarding the
completion of the canal by the 15th of
next month.
The Bally at Wapioltla.
Wapinitia, Oct. 7, 1896,
Thomas Harlan, of Mosier, opened
the campaign here last night in a tell
ing speech of nearly two hours, speak
ing to a good house of attentive listen
ers, and his speech had a telling, effect
upon those who. were wavering. ' It ' Is
thought his" address' had the effect of
changing' many votes from McKinley
to Bryan.
Mr. Harlan stated that although he
was a republican, be considered the
great issue in this campaign was not a
party measure, and that -no man was
bound to. act. with his party on this
occasion., The financial question was
ably and. .exhaustively discussed, and
was shown so be the "paramount issue
of ' the campaign, while the tariff, Mr.
Harlin considered could bnly be made
of secondary importance.

Mistaken Identity.
A few days since an item appeared in
these columns announcing the birth of
a nice, bouncing girl in the family of
Ed Mays, and many readers supposed
the new arrival was in . the family of
Ed, the rising young attorney and
popular society man of Portland, who
formerly resided in this city. Acting
upon this supposition, Postmaster
Crossen wrote Mr. Mays, congratulat
ing him upon the happy event, and has
received a reply stating that it is not
our Ed, who is the happy father; in
fact be declares he has no intention of
becomining a father, having not yet
been able to prevail upon any fair one
to enter into a life partnership and
share his home and fortune. The Ed
Mays who is the father of the promis
ing young American citizen is a gentle
man in the employ of Winans Bros,
and not Ed ' whose early life is con
nected with the cares and vicisltudes

the piano reshipped to us because that
will involve a considerable expense of
freights. We are therefore willing to i
sell the piano actually below cost. The -piano

El-Goreruor Pennoyer Tells of Its Con.
piracy to Throttle the Nation.
Ex-Governor Sylvester Pennoyer re
ceived a splendid welcome $t the Vogt
opera house lust niuut. The hall was
crowded to the very doors, ami whoo
the speaker of the evening appeared
ou the platform he was received
with cheer after cheer. The greetin
was but an introduction to what fol
lowed, as interruptions to the address.
when the - audience answered th
eloquent words which fell from thi
speaker's lips throughout the eotiiv
evening.
Governor Pennoyer spoke under thi
auspices of the Bryan club, and war-
met a the Umatilla House by a dele
gat.ioa of over 300 Bryan men, and
conducted in a carriage from there to
the Vogt. At 7:30 the march to the
Vogt began, lead by The. Dalles con
cert band, the governor's carriage and
300 members of the Bryan club follow
ing. Crowds cneered . the procession
as it passed through the streets and
entered the opera bouse to meet the
enthusiastic throng within Judge
Story called the meeting . to order and
introduced the speaker, and - it was
several minutes after the governor had
stepped to the front of the stage be
fore the enthusiastic audience ceased
cheering so that bis voice coul I be
hoard.
The governor spoke for nearly two
hours, holding the attentiou ot his
hearers almost spellbound. Ia open
ing he thanked the people of Wasco
county for the 500 majority they gave
him the last tim he was a candidate
for governor of Oregou, and urged
that they give a like hearty support to
Wm. J. Bryan, whom he' eulogized as
one of the greatest of American states
men. He then began an exhaustive
discussion of tho issue? of the present
campaign.
Through a close and careful line of
reason iug, he showed bbat the founda
tion for the presort depressed condi
tion of business, and the financial mis
fortunes that have overtaken the na
tion did not have their origin with the
revision of the tariff, but began with
the contraction of the currency in 1873,
finally culminating with the repeal of
the Sherman lawia-1893. He substan
tiated this position by the fact that all
the great financial crashes of the na
tion, beginning with that of 1837, fol
lowed an act of .the government that
contracted the currency. He even
went further back loan the dates of
American history and showed that-
every period of depression in the
world since history has been written
followed a narrowing down of the cir
culating medium, while . the most pros
perous times the civilized world has
known was when money, both ,met-
alic and paper, was the most plentiful.
From these historical facts he reasoned
that the depression in business which
now exists, is the result of the lack of
sufficient currency with which to trans
act the business of the country.
Under such circumstances as now
exist he said no class but the money
lenders could be prosperous. There
fore he held that the money power had
a selfish and personal motive in at
tempting to contract the currency of
the county and keeping it down to the
lowest possible limit, for by so doing
the prices of the results of labor must
fall, while the price of the use of money
would advance. Unless this can be
prevented, the speaker held that the
time was soon at hand when the money
power wouid throttle the producers of
the country aud reduce them to servi
tude. To prevent this awful calamity with
all its attendant miseries, he held the
opening of the United States mints to
the free and unrestricted coinage of
silver was the only remedy. ' Silver ho
said was a metal whose production
could net be contracted by the money
powtr, therefore it was the natural
basic money metal for the producers.
In conclusion, Governor Pennoyer
urged all true and loyal Americans to
stand up ana assert tbelr rights as
freemen, and consider their individual
rights as such when casting their
ballots for president of the United
Stales. This he held could only bo
done by supporting a candidate who
was free from corporation influences,
and that candidate he said was William
J. Bryan.
