Judge Northup spoke of the criticism
passed upon the name of certain person
who hud signed the petition asking- him
to be a candidate, saying he wa not
acquainted with all of those who had
signed the call; but he waa willing to
aubmlt the list In comparison with th
name of those who had (at In any ot
the recent convention of Portland.
Possibly, ho suld, the gentleman who
hod criticised th signer ot the petition
knew the person to whom objection
wa raised better than did th speaker;
but, It all that wa stated wer true,
he would be the last person In the world
to turn them aside when seeking repent
ance. W iry Magdolene came to the 8a-
lour and was received; and, If these
people against whom the crltlclMm hu
been matlo desire to leave former as-
soclattM und begin a new life, he would
welcome thorn to a higher piano of cltl
ieiiKhl; and to the truo stanUurd.

the people 0111 ihere were surprised
when Ihey heard the other side of the
utieatlnn. They hail tsx-n accustomed to
listening to silver orators, and were
amused when told of the dangers of n
Stiver system.
"The -.Kills will tell." said the juilce,

unite often says: My dmr Northup, you
are making an awful fuss about this
motify question. Just settle the tariff
and the money Issue will settle Itseit.
My fri.-nds. I say the niuney iiuestlon ia
foremost. We cannot have the tariff un
til the tiimncial question is a--ttled."
Judire Northup then told of severil ef
forts to have tariff measures massed tn
.'ongrss, and each and every time once
dulte re ?ntly, when President Cleveland
requested the house and senate not to
adjourn for the holidays until some steps
hud la-en taken to relieve the treasury
the bills had been killed by tho finance
committee of the senate, a majority of
whom were In favor of free silver, by
striking out the tariff proposition and
adding nn amendment declaring for ihe
coinage of all the silver bullion now In
he treasury.
"Th bill as amended was then re
ferred buck to tho house, where It met
It Waterloo. Thank God! I ask If the
money question la not first? The silver
monster must be strangled, or else It
will strangl u all."
The speaker then explained that there
wn a. conspiracy on foot to elect a free
sliver president. Then, with such an
executive and a ailver senate, where doe
th nation' safety lie?
In the house of representatives: and.
If you aro patriotic, you will do your
duty, regardless of party."
Judge Northup explained what waa
meant by the expreaslon "sound money."
It means, said he. the us of both gold
nd silver to an extent to which th
parity can be maintained. What doc
free silver mean? ha proceeded. It
mean, he (aid, that regardless of other
earthly condition, aa unlimited amount
of the white metal can be taken to th
mint and coined. He then explained
that, contrary to the silver men's argu
ment, free coinage would contract the
currency.
A friend of mine, who ha recently
Islted Mexico, approached m not lorur
Ince and told me ho wanted to sell me
Mexican silver dollar. He suld he
would soli It for just what he paid for
It. . 1 asked him hi price, and he said
cents;' It uppeura during hi visit to
Mexico, he went Into a store one day
to purrhfuio some curios. He thought
he would buy a dollar and asked tho
lei'k for one. In return for which he
handed the clerk an American dollar.
He not another Mexican dollar In chance
in other words, two Mexican dollars
for one American dollar. Now. why Is
his? liccuuse an Ainerlcun dollar is

It w-aa one of tne most enthuslaatio
political gatherings ever held In Ihe stale.

continued for some minutes. He spoke
briefly, saying that while not a candi
date for th position, he believed that it
should go to this county aa the largest,
richest and most populous of Ihe state.

PROHIBITION WRECKED.

leaders of both faction freely admit to
night, Tho split win come, they say,

As yet scarcely a word has beea said
about prohibition. Th money question
has been the all absorbing topic of dis
cussion. The bitterness of feeling In
crease hourly and when the convention
meets It promises to be a little battle
of extermination. If the gold atandanl
plank should be adopted m the platform
by eastern delegate, then tho favor
ins; the coinage of silver at the ratio of
It to 1. will aecede. -
It on the other hand, the so-called:
free silver delegates adopt a free coinage
plank, then the gold standard crowd will
leave, and ahouki the convention fait
to declare for woman cuff rage, the femi
nine portion of the convention will sever
Its connection with the party. It prom
ise to be a memorable convention for
the Prohibitionists, and bid fair to
wreck the party.
