"Xo eu appeared to want to talk about

tile matter. as near as they can be l*am«l,
were as follow*:
"Lee Faifrhild t» a from Se

with a fcioTw!.- mustache. a cowboy hat
and a nasal twane which he?on** rather
to New Hampshire than the Pacific coast.
He has a rich fund of humor and stands
high with both national and state com
nittMi as an effective campaign talker.
Indeed, he t* bHied throughout the state
u 'the Depew of the West." and lets the
best assignment* on the books.
"Actor Edward Vroom is another spell
binder who makes up for what he doesn t
know about politics by an effervescent and
lurid oratory very taking before some
audiences. One of the chief admirers of
Mr. Vroom's eloquence is Mrs Vroom. a
handsome young woman, who accompa
nies him to al! his meetings and sits on
the stage while he talks for McKinley and
sound money arid the old flag -principally
the flag.
"Wednesday night 'the IVpew of the
West" and Mr. Vroom were advertised to
speak at the Thirteenth Regiment Arm
ory. Brooklyn. The two have spoken to
gether on several occasions, and Mrs.
Vroom bad complained that Mr. Fairchild
was allowed to speak first, which wasn't
fair to Mr. Vroom. BtiM their relations
were not strained, and Mr Fairchild ac
cented the invitation of the Vrooms to ride
with them in thetr carriage to the Armory.
Ho was introduced first to the audience
f NIGHT there will be a Republican
rally at the Armory. The speakers
will be Will E. Humphrey and
Frank M. Cushman, the Artemus Ward
of the present campaign. John £. Hum

named gentlemen will act as vice-presi

and spoke for seventy minutes, holding
the audience well.
"By that time many persons had become
tired and soon left the hall. This did not
please Mrs. Vroom. and she made some
Indignant remarks, audible to every .->ne
on the stage, about the 'cheap Jokes' and
'Western slang' of some speakers, and
also expressed her opinion as to the gen
eral intelligence of an audience that would
listen to that kind of oratory and not re
main for a really able address.
"So great was the lady's displeasure, and
so pointed her remarks, that when the
meeting mas over Mr. Fairchild dec!in*tl
to ride home In the carriage, but came
back by trolley with the direction of a
few policemen.
"The matter did not drop here. Yester
day Mrs. Vroom visited lioth headquar
ters and left larg<> pieces of her aggressive
mind. 8h? called three times at state
headquarters, and divided up her time !*•-
tween C. A. Hall and Gleason,
who have charge of the speakers' work,
and told thi m what an outrage It was that
Mr. Vroom didn't get better assignments
and wasn't put the first speaker In tho
Ifst. so that he could g< - t a fair hearing.
"She got in to see Gen. Clayton at na
tional headquarters on. e. but Secretary
Smith, of the speakers* bureau, had to see
her twice. Ho told her Mr. Fairchild
didn't six-ak a minute longer than they
wanted him to, and that they wished they
could send him to two or three meetings
a .*ight instead of on*.
"Mr*. Vroom left headquarters J n high
dudgeon, but will probably be back this

Yesterday Mr. Thorne received a letter

Mr. Thorne thinks that If such a man as

doubt as to the great majority of tho
••doubtful" vote going for McKinley.

in receipt of a letter from A. F. Hoffer, of
St. Louis. Mo., which states there is no
doubt that McKinley will be elected, and
he further states that the sound money
Democrats will vote with the Republicans
In th* coming election.
Mr. Hoffer I* a prominent citizen of St.
Louis, and is well informed on the state'*
political affairs. Among other things he
says: "Of the general result there is no
longer any doubt. McKinley will be elect
ed. and in the East will receive a very
large popular majority. This dty (St.
Ix>uis> will be largely Republican, the poll
showing over 25.0)0 majority. Conceding
that block polls are not always reliable.
It is. however, certain that the majority
w'.ll range from 15.W to 30,099. The regis
tration la 133,000 in rctind numbers. 50.000
greater than ever before. This increase
ia largely Republican. I should say about
two-thirds. But conceding it to be equal
ly divided, say 25,000 Republican and 25,900
Democratic, the town Is still Republican
by quite a respectable vote in national
elections of only ordinary interest. I have
heretofore conceded the state to Bryan,
and still think the chances favor Bryan,
but there see.ms to be a change going on
In the state, and if the Judgment of such
old campaigners as Col. Pat Eyer is good,
there will be a landslide in favor of Mc-
Kinley. The defeat of Ix»u Stephens for
governor is conceded by some Democrats
now.
"Illinois is all right.
"Indiana is all right.
"Ohio is all right.
"And the conservative forces are going
to win.
"It cannot be otherwise. If you- were
here and saw and felt the interest taken
by men who never have taken any Interest
In campaigns before, you would say that
this was the most wonderful campaign
since isrti. I had never a doubt that you
wero for sound money, and if you w-ero
here you would find that most of your
Democratic friends are with you. It does
an old Republican much good to be able
to have so many of his Democratic friends
voting with him. and 96 per cent, of the
sound money Democrats here will vote
direct for the Republican ticket. You
should do the same, so that your vote may
be the more effective."

The Popocratic free silver parade is &
thing of the past, and the 3,M> men.
women and boys who shouted themselves
hoarse for Bryan and repudiation are
slapping themselves on the back for hav
ing beaten, as they think, the monster Re
publican parade of last Thursday night.
The number given above, 3.3 W. is a fiir.
liberal count, as that is the average ar
rived at by employes of the Post-Intelli
gencer, who made a careful count from
the windows facing on Second avenue.
This Included every one participating in
the parade, and is in excess of the num
ber counted by disinterested citizens from
different positions along the line of par
rade. 6. M. Preston, who stood on Second
avenue between James and Yes.er, made
the total number of people in line 2.&20;
W. O. Johnson, 2,700: a conductor on the
Grant street road, S.IOQ; Victor Croissant
and Carl Stcltenberg. of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company. 2.71<: Tracy Robert
son, 3,08 c. Dell Hicks, 3.32*. including the
band; four employes of M. Seller & Co..
136 girls, 96" boys. 1 Goat, I mon
key. 1 mule, 348 from Tacoma, 1.5*56
■Seattleites. making a total cf 3.300;
Capt. Anderson, 2, *36 men; Clarence
Bagley, 3.100 Abraham Kistler. 2.*»
men, 3.368 in all; Mr. Potts, at the Dilier,
2,750 men. Beside these there were a num
ber of other counts, all under 3,000. It took
the parade forty minutes to pass a given
point, Including all stops.
The parade itself, other than from a sta
tistical standpoint, was exactly what was
expected by those who have watched the
arrangements for the past several.days.
Goaded by the magnificent showing made
by the Republicans in their turnout, they
made up their minds to make up in noise
what they loat in numbers, but in this
they were not very successful. Women
on horseback and In floats were drafted
In, and while they made a pretty sisrht
and added effectiveness to the pageant,
and more than all, swelled the numbers,
they did not make the same impression
the so'.id lines of marching and mounted
voters did in the big Republican parade.
But where the Populists did get In
strong was in the juvenile department.
Boys are all right as rooters, and they
always use their big voices to great ad
vantage in tearing the atmosphere, but
their votes count no more than do those
of the women, and this could not help
but be remarked by the crowds that
looked on last night. Two counts were
made of the boys alone, and in each In
stance the total was over 700.
Transparencies were numerous, and while
the spelling on some was frightfully jum
bled and mangled, the inscriptions evoked
some laughter and still greater cheering
from the Bryanites. There were several
very pretty floats filled with women and
young girls, and a uniformed Bryan Club
from Tacoma. Towards the tail end of
the procession was a large goat, said by
an onlooker to be John Wiley in sheep's
clothing. This was meant to be the mas
cot for the parade. To the martial music
of drum and fife marched fifty-two civil
war veterans and fifty-two "Soperites,"
as tersely put by a member of the Re
publican Veteran League. The music
was furnished by one brass band, which,
when Cherry street was reached on the
march down First avenue, marched up
and Joined the parade on Second avenue,
making it appear like two bands in the
procession. This doubling up was not an
uncommon occurrence, as the two blocks
of horsemen left the head of the parade
at Pike and Fifth and galloped down to
Yesler way and rejoined the t.ail end.
This effort to swell the parade was well
planned, but "unfortunately" It was wit
nessed by a number of people who
thought the Incident too good to keep,
A notable feature in the parade was
John R. Rogers, seated In a hack and
waving above his head an American flag.
The Puvallup statesman is a believer in
the free use of the American flag in a
procession for political effect, but could
never dream of seetng one floating proud
ly over a schoolhouse.
About the only excitement of the par
ade was when Clark Davis (ex-Prohlb.)
was disturbed at one of the transparen
cies which did not suit him. and walked
into the line and seized it. Against se
vere remonstrances he attempted to
demolish it. but it was afterward repaired
and did good service. Curiously enough,
the transparency was in a Fifth ward
delegation and carried by the redoubtable
Patsy Carroll, all of whom the ex-clergy
man hopes to have as supporters and later
as constituents.
Some of the boys employed by the
Washington Shoe Company subscribed
sufficient money to purchase a banner in
serted "30 to 1 for Hryan." One of the
proprietors positively stated there were
only two voters in the crowd.

Before the tail end of the parade had
moved away from the nclghborhod of Uni
versity street and Third avenue, people
commenced to trail away In the direction
of the Armory, where the principal meet
ing of the evening was to occur. An ad
vance guard, made up of possibly ](*>_ had
gathered and ranged themselves across
the fnnt row opposite the soeakerS'
stand. Some seats to the right r.ad been
reserved for singers, and it required the
con«ant vigilance of a man <tation.-d
there to prevent their pre-emption by the
pushing crowd.
The speakers' stand and the front of the
platform had b»M»n decorated with vines

crganisation was lost in the rash for
seats. White the people wort* pourinft in
and the oil was pouring out Candidate
John R. Rogers walked upon the platform
and a weak cheer went up.
Chairman M. M. Holme? rapped on the
table and attracted brief attention, while
he asked the speakers and vice presidents
to come to the platform without further
invitation, statins that unless they did so
they would be cut off by the crowd which
was at that time lining up against the
wa;;s and filling the aisles. Several of
the people invited clambered up to seats,
and a lull occurred, and then Mr. Holmes
rapped again. He said that it was un
necessary to make any lengthy speech of
introduction, and he consequently con
fined himself to the honor of presenting
to the audience "the next governor of
the state of Washington.'*
Just preceding the introduction a por
trait of Bryan was hung from the gal
lery. just above the speaker's head Its
appearance caused a storm of cheers.
There was no question as to the sympa
thies of the crowd toward the head of the
national ticket, but when Mr. Rogers
stepped to the front the applause was so
weak that it apparently disconcerted the
candidate, and his harangue, lacking any
degree of Are. consequently faiied to
sw.iken anything of enthusiasm. There
was nothing in Mr. Rogers' speech
throughout its entire delivery that in
spired applause, and the speaker must
have felt his position keenly. When any
point brought out a cheer or a clapping
of hands, it was a reference to Bryan or
a national issue, although Mr. Rogers
said Ciat he did not propose to speak of
national matters, as he believed his
hearers had posted themselves and were
prepared to vote, but In state matters he
would take up a number of things that
demanded reformation. These matters
affected the people and the taxpayers.
The people, said Mr. Rogers, might not
know that it cost the state under exist
ing circumstance* over Jl.uuO per day, and
At a joint meeting of committees
from the Lumbermen's Association and
the Business Men's Sound Money Club
it was decided to hold an industrial and
sound money parade on Thursday night,
Oct. 29. All organizations, both abroad
and at home, are requested to join the
last sound money parade in Seattle be
fore election. The parade will start
promptly at 8 o'clock p. m. Hon. Charles
A. Boutelle will address the meeting at
the Armory, and various other speakers
will be provided for the overflow meet
ings. Special rates from all points have
been arranged for.
that It costs three times as much to run
the state a year as it does Tennessee,
with five times the population of Wash
ington. which Mr. Rogers said was fif- !
teen times as much per capita as In tho
more favored state, south of Mason and j
Dixon's line. He then charged the pres
ent friato government with being responsi
ble. by its ruinous conduct of finance, for
the closing of the institution for defec
tive youth, and made bold the statement
that the state reform school is about to
close. He criticised the last message of
Gov. McGraw on the financial questions j
of the state, and said uncomplimentary j
things of the Post-Intelligencer.
While Mr. Rogers was talking inside
Col. James Hamilton Lewis was holding
an overflow meeting outside, addressing
his hearers from the windows above the
main entrance to the Armory. Compared
with the chill and lack of enthusiasm
within, the meeting outside was a fur
nace. and Mr. Rogers appreciated this.
While Col. Lewis" admirers were yeiling
themselves hoarse the large crowd Inside
the building listened calmly to Mr. Rog
ers' statements, some of which he said
he could prove. While he was saying that |
he could prove things, and was failing to j
do so, the roar from Col. Lewis' opposition
meeting rolled into the building.
"I wish those doors could be kept clos- ;
ed." said Mr. Rogers, testily. He then
read from his notorious publication, "The
Irrepressible Conflict." in which he said
that the statement occurred that he had
said there were prostitutes in the bar, the
pulpit and the pr »ss, "and I leave it to ■>
you if there isn't a prostitute in the Post- >
Intelligincer office now." "Why," said '
Mr. Rogers, "the book of Holy Writ may
be distorted." The comparison between ,
the Bible and "The Irrepressible Conflict" J
fell hke a wet blanket.
Mr. Rogers attacked the state land com- !
mission, saying that one man could do the
work 4f the three now engaged, and that
those now holding the ofllce« had hard
work to keep out of one another's way.
"We are for the Democracy of Jefferson
and the Republicanism of Abraham Lin
coin." said the speaker. He got three
weak cheers, and retired to repeat his
talk at Ranke'a hall. "We wlil now have
IS to 1," said Mr. Holmes. "Is Prof.
Sharpe in the hall"" Prof. Sharpe failed
to materialize, and sixteen girls in whito
dresses and silver stars, and one with a
yellow dress and giit stars sang "Amer
ica"—without an accompaniment. Mr.
Holmes announced that as Col. l>ewts had
always thrown bouquets at the ladies, the
latter had decided to present Coi. Lewis
with a bouquet. He named a committee
to escort Col. Lewis in, but that gentle
man had a good thin*; outside and It waa
twenty minutes before Col. Lewis could be
prevailed upon to come Into the Armory
and try to warm things up a little.
Judge I. J. Lichtenberg was then intra- j
dueed as a veteran of the last war. He j
saw! he would s«ay that whk*h would be j
applicable to those who fought for the Hag
during the war. In the campaign he took
his stand with the immortal Lincoln, with
malice toward none and charity to all.
He sa'd the man who speak* of veterans
as coffee coolers and used other opprobi
ous nam'* toward them had kntt the r'ght
to be i al.ed a patriot. Judge Licht«-nberg
then denied that the Chicago platform
was anarchistic or revolutionary- He de
n:«»d that the Fopul'sts were devotes of
the red flae. but sa.id :nut on the contrary
they ar>* admirers of the stars and at ripe*.
T.ie cry of revocation and anarchism :s

the ant. uronism and pat riot'.sin of the peo
ple. the men Included n that ;
charge were many who stood up in the
defense of their curury dur.ng the war
of the rebellion. He hurled back the
charge of anarch sm ma le »g.» nst them
and sa ;i it wu as infamous and black as
the act of Ben«>i:et Arno.d. Then he relat
ed that th*» contest of today was like the
come* • of 118&. Abraham L.ncoln said
that the contest in was a people's con
test. and it is the same today, although
the .saue in the campaign is said to be a
financial <»ne. In iWO u was c*!!ed slavery,
anl in 1576 it was taxation, >n PC"* finan
cial.
Thfn he took up that part of the Chi
cago platform whKJi denounces a govern
ment by Injunction and the so-cwl.ed ar
bitrary use of Federal troops plank. He
said that the psatform of It® objected «o

er by the courts. He held that eit xens
had a right to critie.se and the r.ght to
change the number of supreme court jus
tices whenever it became necessary They
forget m this contest that the supreme
court deri\e« :ts power from the people,
and that the people do not derive their
power from the supreme court. He ask<*d
if Hale. Sumner and L-:n co.n were t»narci»-
fasts.
"It t* not a N t(*<i*on th»it rnvnt but
A Llncoin.* and a»ch » nutn w# nave In

magnetic ttan of the people. William J.
Bryan."
Loud calls were made for This
nettled the Judge a little, and he said;
"Keep still a minute and 1 will finish. 1
have stood where there were bullets and
been called a Lincoln hireling, and I did
not flinch. I will not flinch now. and I
now propose to speak till I finish what
1 have to say."
He closed with a flowery peroratKm in
which he predicted victory for the Peo
ple's party.
M. M. Holmes said he had sent a man
with a bouquet out for Col. Lewis, and
after a search he had found him sur
rounded by 2.t*Jo or S.«WO people. He had
been found and was now in the hall. Col.
Lewis appeared then with a big bouquet
of chrysanthemums, and It was two min
utes before he could speak, owing to the
applause. As he stepped on the stand,
he said: "Ain't I a sight?" and some one
replied; "That's what you are." and in
deed the colonel was beginning to show
the effect of the 117 speeches that he as
mtde and the hard work incident to »
campaign. He thanked the people fo* the
honor >nown htm. and said the camy* srn
had been a long pull and a strong one,
but he felt sure of the result. Then he
paid a glowing tribute to Judge Lichten
berg. and said his missing limb, lost in
the defense of his country, showed
whether or not he is a true American.
Mr. Lewis took up the Post-Intelligencer,
and said it denounced every man who dif
fered from it by dubbing him with some
opprobious name or epithet. Then he said
he would say a word for himself. It had
been stated that those who opposed the
Post-Intelligencer were disloyal.
It had also been stated that all the fu
sionlsts in the city could leave with all
their belongings and they never wouid be
missed. He asked If W. C. Squire. J. T.
Ronald. L. C. Oilman were not taxpayers,
were not loyal and good citizens? As for
himself, he was willing to compare him
■clf socially, loyally, financially, intcl-
lectually or in any other way with the edi
tor of the P.-I. Mr. Lewis asked If he
had ever been recreant to his duty when
ever he could help the city.
The audience said he had not.
Then he told how Messrs. Doolittle and
Hyde were elected on promises to do some
thing for the state, and yet they had done
little or nothing. There were no United
States buildings In Spokane, Tacoma or
Seattle as the result of their efforts, and
yet they come before th«> people and ask
to be re-elected on the record they made
while in congress.
Col. Lewis in conclusion said he had to
go to Ranke's hall and speak, and after
a short peroration, the burden of which
was "Turn the rascals out," he disap
peared with his bouquet of chysanthe
mums in the direction of Ranke's hall-
There the audience gave three cheers
for Lewis, three cheers for the ticket and
three cheers for the American flag and
dispersed.
"DER ('HAIL IS Ol'D.**
Sneli Was the Startled Exclamation
of a Teuton as the I'urndr Panned.
Trie advance guard of the parade had
just swung Into Pike street. There was
nothing to disturb the stifled spasmodic
tooting of fish-horns in the hands of the
marchers. Suddenly a stout, stumpy Ger
man forced his way through the crowd.
He gazed a moment cn the parade am!
then a deafening roar pierced the air,
drowning the sound of horns ami band.
"Och, der chail is oud," exclaimed the
German, "der chail Is oud. Stob dem,
G.'tch dem. Holt dern."
This brawny Orrman suddenly found
h;mself in the envious position of the
funny man. and, like t.»e usual funny man.
failed to realize his position, being entirely
oblivious to the roars of laughter that
were occas on»-d by his deria'v* remarks.
"Vas 1st?" he yelled, as :fte female con
tingent swept by. "Vas Ist? I>er voornans

"Say. get onto the Dutchman'" yelled
a torch-bearer, as the parade came to a
halt.
"<Jo mit ant got rat moralised,"
reported the German. "Hoorrah for Mug

"G'wansmashvernose." howled the s|i

face.
"You vlll smash notings. you repootlnder

"I'll cave yer fi.ee in. bejees. in a min

procession moavd on.
"Hully Chee"' from the German, as he
caught sipht of the banner, "ter toll.ir

Just then the impulsive motorman of
the car that had been slowly making it*
way through the crowd, seeing that the
German was perturbed by the frantic
rinsing of the gong, turned on the current
at full sj»eed. The ear swept on to the un
suspecting German. Ho wax lifted of a
