The Ladies' McKinley dab with their
decorated carriages, traps aad buggies,
arshsllad by their president, Mrs. Gar
low, made a splendid showing in pro
cession Friday afternoon.
The experience gained on this occa
sion will stand them in good stead an
other time, and we know of several
ladies who will start to decoratiag about
daylight, in order to be surely on tiase
at 1 o'clock.
The prize decoration was by Missis
Madge Gushing, Doris Bscher, and Mat
tie aad Nellie Post All decorations
were handsome, but this was superb,
and attracted universal attention.
The Rough Riders under Capt C. J.
Garlow and Lieutenants John Brock
and George Winslow, made a fine ap
pearanceyand in maneuvers, did admir
ably for the very short time spent in
drill.
The City Band did their share in mak
ing the parade attractive.
A splendid audience, a crowded house,
greeted Indiana's young senator at the
opera house at 2 o'clock.
The meeting wss called to order by J.
D. Stires of the republican county cen
tral committee, and the Polk County
Glee club composed of four young gen
tlemen, the 8tull brothers and Webster
brothers were called upon to render
America.
Senator Beveridge, upon being intro
duced, struck at once into the heart of
his subject aa bsiag a proposition to
change managera, whan the fact is that
the present manager (the republican
party) has been successful every time in
securing prosperity at home and respect
abroad, while its opponent (the demo
cratic party) has brought disaster at
home, and shame to Americans a'broad.
After the sample managements by
Cleveland, by Harrison and by McKin
ley, it is simply amssiag- that Bryan,
the candidate for hunger, should ask the
endorsement of the American people at
this time.
He referred to the tariff laws from
Washington to Lincoln, and defied the
delirium of partisanship to find fault
with the Grand Old Party, which ad
vances, constructs and builds.
Then he answered the questions What
have we done? and, What do they pro
pose? by an array of historic fscts sim
ply invincible, aa to what the republi
cans have done, both in times of peace
and of war. The opposition propose to
destroy what the republicans have done.
If they don't, there is no issue in this
campaign.
Plainly stated, the republicans would
carry the flag in the skies; .the democra
cy would drag it in the dust
We do not aim to reproduce any por
tion of hie speech even his exact words i
could not do that, as they could not
bring again the peculiar manner of the
orator. , His style of oratory, and it is
oratory, is sweeping, convincing, irre
sistible and fascinating. Everybody was
pleased with the speaker, and it was cer
tainly a great gratification to republi
cans; undoubtedly the best political
meeting ever held here, with perhaps
oue exception, when Butterworth was
here.
Jamai S. aTortk.
The republican candidate for state
senator of the Twelfth district, is well
known to most Journal readers, having
been in business here many years, and
always taking a lively interest in public
matters.
There is not a question of doubt as to
his ability to serve this district in the
office. Twice before he hss filled the
office of senstor from Platte snd Colfax,
and is thus all the more fitted for its
duties.
The coming session is more than
usually important, outside the selec
tion of two United States senators. The
first session sfter the census, a reappor
tionment of the various districts of the
state will be made, representative, sena
torial, congressional, judicial, and the
problems to be solved are always per
plexing. Often it has happened that everything
was thought to be arranged reasonably
satisfactory all around, when, on a sud
den, all arrangements were declared off,
and the tedious, tireless work wss all
gone over again.
Mr. North's information on county
andBtate matters with which ssoators
have to deal will probably not be ex
celled by any member of the senate, and
his acquaintance throughout the state is
such as to be of great benefit to him,
and through him to bis constituency.
