BOY L OAKINQ PCWOtn CO. , MWOIA When Bryan rushed to Washing. ton to bog democrats and pops to rat. ify the treaty of peace with Spain he was acting either as a Demagogue and traitor to imperil his country with what ho believed to bo wrong or else ho then believed tLo condi tion right. If ho though the treaty was right ho must stand by the conditions of the treaty. If ho was acting the demagogue ho should bo abandoned and hooted by all patriots. What objoot pops can have in following such a scout for political trouble and democratic scheming is beyond oonjuoturo. It is time all former republicans of the pop party wore getting out of this Democratic whirlpool. They are getting out. 22 1800 Editor REPUBLICAN. Door Sir Please lot mo occupy a small spacein your paper , just testate state that I am acquainted with Capt.Talbot , who is running for sheriff of Cnstor county ; and that while in the service of bio country I only knew him as the bravest of the baavo , a soldier every inch of him and as a man was always found where duty called him. I was only a private soldier while it the service of my country. Ho was LSeut'thon promoted to captain ; but I think a private soldier can many times see mo goou qualities 01 men , both otli oers and comrades in the ranks. Thinking this , all I can say to the ciizous of your county is that you will make no mistake if you vote for and oloot Capt. Talbot sheriff ho surely it * as bravo and honest u man as can bo brought forward in my party. Vote for himoloot him and ho will , am sure make you a good bravo honest < oflioer. Hoping to hear of his election and that Custor couty will always bo prospered , I am , YourH Truly J.W.Staploton. Private Co.A 1 Nob. Vol. Prof N. P.

Assaulted by tlio Enemy , but Cnmo oh Victorious. The largest ami uioatouthuei'Btio political gathering held in thit ? city this Hoanoujgrootuit Chaplain Mo lley at the opura house Monday ni lu. On his arrival Monday evening iio was mot at thu traiu by a number of his comrades of Company M , who took m charge and uuturtainod him during his stay. For noaily two hours ho discussed thu political in- suus in a foruiblu and able manner. As the uudiuuuo entered thu hail , ouch person was handed a priutod copy of n letter headed "Tho n aiiu Now , " dated January 80 , 18)0 ; ) , at Manila , written by Chaplain AJ-iilley to Congressman Stark , in opposi tion to holding thu Philippines , and censuring Col. Stotsonburg f jr his strict discipline of the soldiers , re- forriug to his unpopularity at that time with the regiment. JiiHt how ho would answer thia unexpected attack from the fee caused no liltlo anxiety by his fnouds. But it proved a bomb shell in the camp' or the enemy before ho was througl with it , judging from the palo 00111 * ploxiou of some of the loaders who had berm prominent in securing tus distribution of thu circulars. A * ho remarked ho had a painful duty to perform , ho displayed the oirct - lar , acknowledged the authorship ot the letter , and confessed it sot fouh his honest convictions at the time it was written , which was prior to luo beginning of thu actual warfare la the Philippines * Ho tirst took up Col. Stotsouburg , and related luw grandly and horoioly he led hie regiment in every engagement , u' d how his moo , with whom he h > d boon so unpopular but a short tii : > o before , wore forced to BOO his real worth , ai well as the benefits to thbiu resulting from his strict discipline , concluding with a grand eulogy ou Col. Stotsonburg , for his oou.abo and unselfish devotion for his mo. . , and indignantly denounced tin so who for the purpose of party sue * cess , would drag from au honored grave the bones of a dead hwro , wl'o fell in defense of his flag , at t.io uuuu ui uia uuutuiuuu. JULIO uuuun- oiation was severe of the loaders of the party who would resort to such tactics. In takiug up the portion of the lottoi m which ho opposed the annexation it the Philippines at that time , ho sr Id it was after ho saw the Filipinos in uar , that he know them moro per fectly , and was forced to change his opinion of their ability of fat If government , and had so expressed , himself in a letter to a Now Yc.-k magazine , written the iirst week in April. As to changing his views on the money question , aad the other fads of the populist party , ha had little to say , but said that wiicu he reached the United States and saw the country prospering aa never before , ho realized the utter failure of Bryan's predictions , and to bn true to IIIH convictions , was again forced to acknowledge that tUo promises of the republican party had been made good , and as an honest man ho could do nothing else than espouse the cauao of thu present administration. Ho absurod his audience that both populists and democrats approved ol his course , as they frequently told him in ' 00 , when ho eipousod the cause of Bry an and 10-to-l , that ho was the kind of preacher they liked to HOD , and wished all preachers would be true to their convictions , and boldly advocate what they believe to be right , and that was what ho was doing then , and is what he is doing now. During his address ho wns enthusiastically appllaudod , and at the conclusion ho was accorded A warm reception by a largo number of his audience. See WillL.
