The orators of the day, Senator Thurston and A. E. Cady, arrived' in the , city Sunday night, and during yesterday forenoon these gentlemen met hosts of their friends. The audience at the opera house at the afternoon meeting numbered 600, about one-third of whom were ladies. The stage and other parts of the hall were deco rated with flags and bunting, the work of the ladies' McKinley. club. It was 2:30 when the meeting was called to order by W. T. Wilcox, who introduced Senator Thurston. m As that jrentlemen walked to the front of the stage he was greeted with enthusiastic applause: The Senator's voice was well worn and husky, he having can vassed nineteen states thus far in this campaign, yet in spite of this fact the audience was treated to one of those masterly addresses that have made the name of John M. Thurston familiar in every household in the land. After a song by the glee club Chairman Wilcox introduced Hon. A. E. Cady as a man who had been engaged in the campaign for over one hundred days, making one and two speeches a day, except Sunday, yet with a voice in fair shape with out any present indications of ton siletas. Mr. Cady did not enter into a lengthy discussion of the is sues of the da-, but treated the audience to one of his short inspirr ing speeches so quickening to rer publican ism. The parade in the evening was the grandest demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in North Platte, both in point of the number taking part and m the enthusiasm which the participants, displayed. About half past six the crowd be- tmn nrnt hontiir fn SJnrna eti-onf and by seven o'clock the sidewalks were densely packed with specta tors and the street" alive with torch bearers. Shortly after seven o'clock Marshal Scharmann and his aides oraerea tne ionr column to move . t -l j t i forward and the inarch beg jl j)e cornet qana lieaaea tl?e pro cession followed in turn bv tho- Veterans' McKinley Club, the Cady Escort Club, the Girls' McKinlev Club, the Railroad Men's Sound Money Ciub. the Republican Club and a cavalry brigade. During the inarch hundreds of Roman candles were shot off, red lights were burned and fire-crackers exploded, the whole presenting a grand and inspiring sigjit. Especially was the sight a fine one as the column marched down Spruce street, light ing up that thoroughfare in one solid blaze of glory. Dozens of flags were carried in the parade, as well as a large number of transparencies bearing striking and appropriate inscriptions. Hundreds of tin horns were carried and they were continously used by the enthusiasts and helped to swell th. volume of cheers. Along the line of march there were a number of liandsornely decorated. residences. The column counter-marched on Spruce street and headed to the opera house, folr lowed by at least a thousand peo ple. The number of voters in the parade was more than double that of any previous demonstration. The audience which assembled at the opera house was such as to fill all the seats and the standing room and many who went to the ha could not yfaiu admission. ft.' Altera song by the tflee club, Judge Grimes introduced Senatop Thurston, who spoke for forty min utes, the substance of speech being an explanation of the arbitration law passed by the last congress, and plainly showed that it was a republican measure. He said that the plank in the St. Louis republi can platform-on the subject of arbi tration was the first plank of the kind ever inserted in a national platform, and further, that he was the framer of the plank at the re- qucfet ot abor organizations. After another song' py thg glee club Mr. Cady spoke for nearly two hours. His speech was free trom aouse ana covered ail tne issues now prominently before the people. The Tribune has not space in this issue for a resume of the speeches, but hopes to be able to do so in the next issue. f ; Tlire were sigty-fgur veterans in line last evening, 'and they were heartily cheered by the crowd.

The Bryan papers are leaking great parade, of the fact than sev eral manufacturers jiave annpunced that in the event of the adoption of the free coinage policy they will add 10 per cent to the wages of their employes. B,ut at the samg tijne , the prices of commodities would b,e increased at least 50 per cent. and. so an advance of 10 per cent only in wages would still leaye the laborer a large loser. It is very easy, therefore.for theworkingmen to see that such a promise of higher wages is a snare and a mockery.
