The Bryan forces held their
first public meeting of this cam
paign at the court house Thurs
day evening. The big court
room was crowded, the audience
being composed about equally of
republicans and supporters of the
INebraskan. The lormer.main
tamed respectful silence, while
the latter were liberal and earn
est ih their applause. The
Philomath quartet was accorded
a generous reception
The program was divided into
two parts graceful and d;s
graceful. Judge Stuart spoke
with much earnestness and his
utterances were temperate yet
telling. That he was sincere
in his contentions, was the iin"
pression gained from his words
and manner. That his asser
tions were open to debate is, of
course, beyond question. Nor
can it be admitted that his con
clusions were correct in all in
stances. Still there was noth
ing offensive about the address,
and if he was at fault, it was iii,
his judgment and not in his in
tentions. Had he been given
the entire evening the impres
sion of the Bryan method ot
campaign lelt with the audience
would have been much better,
and the people of this city would
have been spared the worst cal
umny against our oitizenship,
our soldiery and our flag which
has been uttered since the days
of the civil war. It is to the
credit of the better element of
Mr. Bryan's supporters to say
that they do nob endorse the
tirde of abuse and inveotive
hurled at the Oregon volunteers

his disparaging comparisons of
our civilization and national
character with that of the Fili
pinos. As one of them expressed
himself: "It is a dirty bird that
fouls its own nest."
in oraer to disprove the re
publican argument that the in
habitants of the Philippine
they were meek as lambs and we
forced the war upon them and
we began hostilities. Our sol
diers and officers were guilty of
everything and their standard of
civilization was below that of the
Filipinos.
But this was false, and San
ders knew it. For after whim
pering over tne rate ot 30,000
Filipinos, he told how our troops
were opposed to the war in all
its aspects, and pointing to a
picture of Bryan, he exclaimed,
"And to a man they will sup

What ! These robbers, highway
men, lecherous brutes, to cast
their lot with that embodiment
of purity! Godsforfend!
Not content with villifying the
volunteers while they were in
service, banders made an unwar
ranted attack upon General Sum
mers because that gallant officer
recently published a call in the
Oregonian with the purpose of
forming a McKinley and Roose
velt marching club or something
of that nature, composed entirely
of members of the 2nd Oregon.
These boys are now all civilians
and only those who wished to re
spond to the call needed to do so.
About all Sanders succeeded in
making out of the matter, was
the conviction of himself as a
prime mover in an attempt to
break up the meeting in a dis-
orderly manner.

Thomas J. Denman.
The death of Mr. Thomas J.
Dentnan occurred at his resi
dence in this city of heart fail
ure, at 6:30 a. m. Saturday,
October 27, 1900. The funeral
services -were conducted by Rev.
E. J. Thompson at the family
residence at 2 o'clock p. m. Sun
day, October 28, 1900. The re
mains were interred in Crystal
Lake cemetery.
Thomas J. Dentnan was bom
at Bristol, England, November
1, 1822, and at the time of his
death only lacked a few days of
being 78 years of age. He left
and came up to his old home to dition of our civilization. This

me aarsness, ana ignorance and
immorality by which they had
been held and surrounded dur
ing years of Spanish oppression
and misgovernment, the speaker
deemed it necessary to defame
the character and morals of the
volunteers of this state and make
the republican party stand spon
sor for the eood name and con
duct of our soldiers in the Phil
ippines. If the republican party
is to be placed in the position of
champion of the Oregon volun
teers and is made to stand shoul
der to shoulder with them in de
fense of their honor and glorious
record, it accepts the charge, for
this is holy ground. That the
2nd Oregon contained some men
who had better, for its sake,
have stayed at home, is evidenced
by the spectacle presented at the
court house last Thursday night.
Mr. Sanders undertook to show
that the thievery, looting and
wanton destruction of property
by the privates of his regiment
and the lecherous and generally
immoral character of its officers,
were not apt to improve the
character of the Filipino nor im

place such a board and he expects
to be in the city for about a week
There will also be same changes
made in the central office that will
give more room. It may be that
when the time of changing from
the old to the new switchboard ar
rives there will be a brief period
that the line will be out of service,
although it may be that this
not be necessary.
The Albany Tent of the Macca
bees had some special instruction
last night and invited the degree
team of the Corvallis lodge to come
over and assist in the work and
make the occasion a rally featuie
for the opening of the work for the
winter. The team, accepted the in
vitation and about twenty members
of that city came oyer, headed by
stale representative I. M. Hunter.
They had gotten fairly well started
and were getting into the mysteries
of Maccabeism when strange and
unfamiliar knockc were heard at
the outer doors.. The picket un
locked the dofir and wa8 over
powered by about fifty Lcdy Mac
cabees, each of whom was dressed
in strange and ghostly apparel,
consisting of sheets, pillow cases
nd maiiy other suc househo'd
articles. The inner guard hearing
the cornmotion in the aiit'waH
unlqcked the door when he too was
overpowered, and the host of
strangely clad ladies marched into
the hall and took complete posses

cerning the infamous, degrading
character of the officers and men.
He said he had seen privates
"hold up" poor, defenseless
Filipino women on their
way to Mauila and "relieve"
them ot the few copper cents they
carried on their person, but
failed to explain why he so far
forgot his duty as a soldier and
a man as not to interfere or no
tify his superiors of this infam
ous proceeding. Surely there
was at least one officer in the
regiment with decency enough
q demand an investigation.
The officers, said Sanders,
maintained brothels in the city
of Manila and compelled the
private soldier to stand guard
and prevent other privates from
entering and polluting the sinu
ous forms of their serpentine
amours. "Republicans," ex
claimed the infuriated speaker,
'aren't you proud of your civili
zation." He was no longer
proud of the flag, he said sinpe
it had beer made to coyer such
degradation as this.
When Sanders wished to take
issue with the republicans again
p,n the question of the fitness of
the Filipinos for self-government',
our soldiers were again made to
Pittsburg, Pa., and was united
in wedlock with Miss Jane Glass
in 1864. After living there for
about a year the couple moved
out to Kansas asd remained there
until 1868, when they went to
Missouri. Here they remained
for four years, going to Nevada
in 1872. Mr. Dentnan seems to
have had far West in view all
the time for he left Nevada after
a few years and moved to Inde
pendence, Oregon. This move
was in 1878, and he and his
family remained there until 1888,
when they moved to Corvallis,
where he has lived ever since.
Mr. Denman was pat at the
trada of briok and stone mason
at the age of ten years and fol
lowed this business with good
success until a few years ago.
He was a good workman and
had worked on many memorable
structures. His health began to
fail about two years ago. Nearly
a year ago he was stricken with
partial paralysis and was bed
fast for a period of fonr montdm
During last spring he rallied
sufficiently to be up and around
during the summer. Howevftr,
during all of this time he
was troubled more or lass with
bis heart. He was in about his
usual health until last Thursday
evening, when he was again
stricken with a chill, caused by
failure of heart action, and from
this he never rallied.
During his final brief illness
everything that could in any
way relieve him was done, but
it was unavailing, and at dawn
Saturday morning he expired,
his wife, son, George, and daugh
ter, Anna, being present at his
bedside.
Mr- Denman had a large cir
cle of friends who esteemed h:'m
for his quiet, unassuming man
ner and his many estimable
traits of character as a neighbor
and a citizen. And, although
the day was raw and rainy,
the services at the residence,
Sunday, were attended by a
large oircle of friends who were
present in honor to the memory
of the dec-eased.
Negotiations for the transfer of
the Southern " Pacific lines in
Oregon to tke Northern Pacific
Railway Company have been on
for some time, says the Albany
Herald. They were interrupted
by the death of President Hunt
ington, of the Southern Pacific,
and affairs are in such a condi
tion that no immediate results
are looked for. It is said, by
some, that the deal has been
practically abandoned as impos
sible of consummation under the
present circumstances. There is
reason to believe, however, that
the transaction will eventually
be carried through. The North
ern Pacific's desire to secure the
Oregon line of tha Southern Pa
oifio i9 believed to be based on
the fact that it has great faith in
the Pacific Northwest, and
wishes to get as much of the
business as possible.
The Southern Pacific Com
pany has no proprietary interest
in tlie property of the Oregon &
California Railroad. It has a
lease of the property running 34
years trom August 1, 1893, at an
annual rental of $5,000. This
leaves the remaining term of the
lease 27 years from last August.
The lease may be modified or
changed by the agreement of
both parties. The bonded in
debtedness, upon which interest
is guaranteed by the- lessee, is
$19,625,000, and the capital
stock is $r9,ooo,ooo $12,000,
000 preferred and $7,000,000
common. Besides these there
is a large sum of outstanding
current liabilities. Until the
past year or two these lines have
lacked about $500,000 annually
of paying expenses.

us all, a citizen whose life was a
standard of emulation to his fellows.
Resolved: That the heart-felt
sympathy of this lodge be extended
to his family in their affliction.
.Resolved: That these resolutions
