WILLIAM HENRY SCORES EUSTIS' INNIN6.

The Eloquent Republican Orator Speaks to a Vast As­

semblage.

Sound, Practical Doctrine Pro­nounced by the Great

Orator.

Democracy and Populism Come In for Heated, Logical Re­

views.

William Henry Eustis, mayor of Minneapolis,scored at the opera house last Monday night. A packed house greeted him, and had the room been as large again it would have been packed, because many people were obliged to return home for want of standing room. It was the Mayor's eloquence as well as his subject which brought them there—the magnetism of the man, the truth and good old logic of his arguments. His theme was Republicanism, and throughout the entire evening his audience was rolling in laughter or bathing in tears —for William Henry is a man of the people and can descend from pathos to humor and humor to pathos with a man naturally acquainted with the woes of the people, and whQ himself has suffered with them.

On the platform,aside from the dis­tinguished speaker, sat Hon. O. B. Turrell, S. J. Race, J. E. Stowell, a life long friend of Mayor Eustis, May­or Bell, J. N. Jones and W. S. Clay-son. The band, whose music is ever fine, rendered the customary outdoor and indoor selections, while the Glee club, composed of Messrs. Chas. Bux­ton, DeWitt Martin, Geo. French and C. R. Tanner, with Mrs. G. R. Pease at the piano, sang two or three cam­paign songs during the evening, and the applause was immense.

It was a Eustis Republican meet­ing, and William Henry had the audience.

It was just 8:20 o'clock when Presi­dent Race,of the local league, stepped to the platform, and stated that owing to Mayor Eustis suffering from a se­vere cold, Hon. J. N. Jones had con­sented to take a portion of the even­ing. Mr. Jones was introduced amid applause. He stated that he had been speaking for three weeks, and from indications he thought it would be a long time before the Democrats would see the reins of government again. Mr. Jones briefly reviewed the history of the two parties during the past thirty years, and said that the Repub­lican predictions of two years had al­ready become true. Workingmen were begging for work,and they are anxious to place the government back in the hands of the party from which it was wrested two years ago. In this coun­ty Democracy has been wiped out, he said, and Populism alone is to be con­tended with. Here Mr. Jones reviewed the two per cent, money and sub-treasury propositions of the Populist party, and said that it would be an un­safe step for the government to adopt the doctrine. In closing he said that there was not another organization in the country which had advanced the country so much as the Republican party.

The Glee club rendered another campaign song, a parody on the De­mocracy, after the "Old Oaken Buck­et," and the audience applauded the rendition to the echo.

"It gives me pleasure to introduce our distinguished speaker," said Presi­dent Race, "Hon. William H. Eustis, Mayor of Minneapolis."

"It is always an inspiration to face a Redwood audience," said the Mayor in opening. "We have been to school for the last two years. We have been schooled. It has been compulsory ed­ucation. Democrats, Republicans and Populists all. They have had to take their medicine. I wish that I could sleep like Rip YanWinkle, over this Democratic administration. I would

be willing to have that much taken out of my life." Laughter and ap­plause followed this remark.

Here Mayor Eustis commented on how the Democratic hard times had struck all professions and business. He remarked that the public assault upon this administration was on, to wind up two weeks from Tuesday— and, he said, if there is any of them left after that day he would like to look at them.

Mayor Eustis dwelt upon the Al­mighty's endowment of this country with minerals, called J. E. Stowell the Christopher Columbus of this sec­tion, and believed that he was doing the work which would lead to the dis­covery of coal.

"We should have a government that will have a policy to develop this country—to encourage manufacturing industries in this country, and not to develop the factories of other coun­tries," remarked the speaker. "We have had lots of assignments this year—one-fifth of the railroads of the country have gone into the hands of a receiver. Business has not been En­couraged by our government—except foreign business. When the McKin-ley bill passed we started to make our own tin plate and our factories fur­nished work. Work is what we want. But the Democrats didn't like to see this. They passed the Wilson bili. They monkeyed with the buzz-saw. Factory fires in England were lighted, but ours went out. Recently they have started up, but with reduced wages. The reduction has come out of the American workingman."

Here Mayor Eustis censured the burning of flax straw, which he de­clared as valuable as the seed. The McKinley bill tended to assist in the use of this flax straw and a linen fac­tory was put in at Minneapolis for its consumption. But lo and behold! the Wilson bill passed and we fellows that built the factory made an assign­ment. If I could run this government I would have linen mills all over this country. I would furnish work and work is what we want. We would make our own linen, and we wouldn't have it come from foreign countries.

The speaker thought it would be a good thing if every quarter of section of land could have a little herd of cattle and sheep. The sheep has been having a hard time for the last year. We have gone back on him. The Democrats have given us free wool— or within nine cents of it. A whole flock of sheep was sold at 85 cents per head recently and pelts sold at 25 cents. This was in Chicago.

When the audience roared at the sheep story of starting at the wrong end to shear him Mayor Eustis begged to remind them that it was nothing to laugh at. It was a serious thing for the sheep. We want the sheep be­cause he adds to our own industry. He read from President Harrison's last letter of acceptancp, and from a prediction made by that great states­man, James G. Blaine, to the effect that the Chicago Democratic platform would destroy the prosperity of this country. "I have heard the cry for bread. Ah! it has been a sad cry. In my brief term of Mayor I have heard it. I have seen strong men cry for work, and failing to find it have come to my office crying for bread." The audience was in tears.

If Jeremiah had prophesied as plain as Blaine and Harrison did we would know when the day of judgment is to arrive, and not be fooled by continu­ally preparing for it.

"Make abundance of labor and you will see wages climb every time. I want to see high wages, and I want to see abundance of labor," said the speaker.

He eulogized Blaine's reciprocity treaty, which was repealed by the Wilson bill,and which cost the United States $40,000,000. He read a letter from a Philadelphia commission house to a flouring concern refusing flour consigned for Cuba for the reason that the Wilson bill had raised the tariff from $1 to $4.75 per barrel, and could find no market in Cuba at the regular price with the high tariff at­

tached. Mr, Eustis censured Democ­racy for its sugar tariff, and eulogized the Republican party for the bounty it placed on sugar grown in this coun­try and its free sugar act. He contend­ed that this country ought to manu­facture all its own sugar.

"If we could take our Populist friends and put them into a creamery separator like we do milk we could get the sense out of their non-sensical ideas. Their woman suffrage plank is excellent. But they did not put it there. God put it there. He knew that if they ever got there He would have the women to turn them out— —make it dizzy for them until they got out. To my Populist friends I want to say that the partition is very thin between you and the insane asy­lum. I heard an inmate of the North Dakota insane asylum eloquently orate last week. It was visionary. I re­turned to my room and looking over my books I found that he had been delivering a Populist speech."

Mayor Eustis censured Democracy for striking off from the rolls innocent pensioners. He believed that the wrong would be righted as soon as the American party got into power. He complimented Prof. McCleary for his position on the money question. He appealed to voters to vote the Re­publican ticket on all questions affect­ing National legislation. He asked that Gov. Nelson receive a solid sup­port.

In closing he said that it was faith in our God, faith in our country, faith in the principles of protection, that would make us a strong, happy, pros­perous and united people.

PROF. HILLEBOE. , Sound Sense From the Pro­

hibition Orator.

-The schoolmaster appears to be strictly at home in politics this year. Those who listened to Prof. McCleary several weeks ago, and again to Prof. Hilleboe last Friday evening, are gen­erally disposed to say on this line, "So much the better for politics." With such speakers a campaign of ed­ucation is possible, in its best sense.

Prof. Hilleboe was introduced in well chosen terms by Mr. Clipfell,and put himself right with his audience at the outset by saying that although he was a formal candidate, he had not the slightest expectation of being elected Governor at the approaching election. Nevertheless, he wanted to secure as large a vote as possible for his ticket, and would state his reasons therefor.

The speaker devoted the first two-third of his time to a review of the history of all the parties. In all civ­ilized lands there existed and would always exist a conservative party—a party opposed to new things and giv­en to opposition to progress and change. This party he aptly char­acterized as the ballast of the Ship of State. Opposed to this party—at present the Democratic party in this country—there was always a radical, progressive party, which from the na­ture of things is constantly shifting, going to pieces as soon as the purpose for which it had been formed was ac­complished. Such a party was the Republican party, prior and during the war period, and the reconstruction period which followed. Prof. Hilleboe contended that its mission was already fulfilled, and that the tariff agitation which it maintains is not now a direct issue.

Next passing to the Populists, the speaker characterized them as the ex­treme radicals, who make all other is­sues subservient to the money issue. He poured hot shot into their theories

of a currency based on credit alone, and paid his respects to an allegation of Congressman Boen, that the suc­cess of the Revolutionary war had been made possible by a similar cur­rency. He read from a standard his­tory the real facts about this currency, which early fell into contempt and was never redeemed.

Prof. Hilleboe contended for his party that it stood for sound money based on gold and silver bullion at market value. He claimed that while it was not yet a strong party numeric­ally, it stood for a vital idea, and that the power of an idea would ultimately make itself felt. He scouted the Pop­ulist declaration in favor of the na­tionalization of the liquor traffic,, as the adoption of a discarded experi­ment from the old world, and asked if drinkers would consume less liquor if they could get it at one-third the price. As to license, he went over rather familiar ground in comparing the theory to licensing the Asiatic cholera, the ravages of which had been insignificant compared to that of alcoholism, and roused no little ap­plause by asking what would be thought of a proposition to set apart certain territory in every community for the colonization of the Russian thistle. After giving the figures of the national drink bill, showing the wastefulness of it,Prof. Hilleboe closed with the prophecy that America would ultimately cease to be the land of the spree and the home of the slave to al­cohol.

PEAVEY KILLED

Israel Peavey Has His Neck Brok­en in a Runaway Acci­

dent.

Israel Peavey, a farmer about 45 years of age, in the employ of David Weaver, of New Avon, was instantly killed in a runaway accident last Tuesday evening. He was a bachelor.

Peavey came to Redwood during the day with a load of wheat for Mr. Weaver, and started for home, after getting the mail, about 7 o'clock. When the team passed the farm resi­dence of Henry Charter a mile to the southwest of this city,* the Charters noticed that it was apparently without a driver. A moment later there was a loud cry of "whoa," and the noise of a runaway team. This occurred mid­way between the residences of Henry and Levi Charter. A few moments afterwards Levi Charter found the team badly tangled up in his pasture and had it not been for his timely ap­pearance one of the horses would have been killed.

After taking the team to his resi­dence he started for his father's place and on the turn pike stumbled over the body of Israel Peavey, utterly destitute of life. There were bruises on the left side of the face, and the neck was apparently broken.

County Attorney Pierce was notified, and ordered the remains to be placed in charge of an undertaker. Skinner & Persons brought them to this city about 11 o'clock and placed them IB; their morgue.

In many cases, the first work of Ayer's Sarsaparilla is to expel the effects of the other medicines that have been tried in vain. It would be a saving of time and money if experi­menters took Ayer's Sarsaparilla at first instead of at last.
