NEXT CONGRESSMAN SPEAKS POWDERLY DIDN'T GOME. 4 4 E. E. SAPP AT COLUMBUS. E.

E. Sapp, fusion candidate for probate judge, spoke to an audience of about two thousand people in the court house yard last Saturday evening. Considering the fact that not a bill was printed announcing his speech until about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the crowd that assembled was very flattering indeed in fact there were more voters present than at the Troutman Republican meeting in the afternoon. Many Republicans were there largely of the heeler variety who hoped that in some way the speech might be a failure, but the speaker administered to them such a drub 50 Dozen Goods that we bought very cheap, to close out the lot. Not too heavy; underwear that you can use for this season of the year.

Regular $2.00 Goods; our price $1.00 a WE appreciate very much the great interest the ladies manifested at our Two Days' Opening. Everyone enjoyed seeing such great varieties in Fine Millinery, Dress Goods, Silks, Capes and Jackets. We are sorry we could not devote as much time to each and everyone as we would have liked to have done, owing to such vast crowds. We ask you to call at your leisure and inspect all the new novelties and we will do our utmost to please you. Respectfully, Weiler Bros.

Co. 0m HE WASN'T ETEN EXPECTED THOUGH LOCAL REPUBLICANS INSIST THAT HE WAS. DONE TO HOLD THE CROWD. A Report That the National Committee Has Pulled Powderly Off Vigorously Denied. T.

V. Powderly didn't speak in Galena last night. He wasn't even expected to be here by local Republicans, though they made it appear that he was. They personally visited the offices of the evening papers and announced that Mr. Powderly would positively be on exhibition.

The meeting had been advertised far and wide and when the telegram came saying the speaker had gone to Leavenworth, work was at once begun by telegraph to secure some one to fill the date. It was not intended that the contents of the first telegram should be publicaly known, but it leaked out some way, together with the rumor which gained currency that the national committee had pulled Powderly off. These rumors were going to have a bad effect upon the success of the meet ing, so something must be done to save it. Then it was announced with great gusto that Mr. Powderly was coming: he will be- here sure.

The TIMES wanted to print the truth and tried to locate the fellow who had received the word that Mr. Powderly was coming, but all we could get out of each individual man seen was "Why, they say he is." We weren't able to run down the fellow who was called "they." The local committee was in possession of the fact that Mr. Powder ly had left Weir City on Thursday niaht for Leavenworth and that he would not be in Galena, and the announcement that he would be here was done to fool the people and nothing else. It was even noised around late in the evening that Mr. Powderly was at the hotel, having arrived on the belated Memphis train.

One fel low toldthe reporter that he had actually seen the ex-labor leader at the banks, band ana tiam-beau club paraded to the electric line terminus, though what for no one seemed to know. When the meeting opened at the pavilion Dr. King was selected to make the apol ogy to the audience. He stated that Mr. Powderly knew nothing of tne Galena meeting until o'clock Thursday night, when he, the doc tor, happened to mention it; Powderly said he was under instuction to go to Leavenworth, and started for that place.

Dr. King says he then telegraphed to some one to "send Powderly to Galena by all means," then this some one sent back, "Powderly may speak at Galena; Leavenworth date cancelled." But by this time Mr. Powderly was ensconced in a Pullman palace sleeping car and gliding swiftly on to Leavenworth. After King's apol- cgy, which was coldly received, President Cody introduced a man from Buffalo, N. by the name of Rolf or Wolf, or something like that.

He didn't take with the audience. They couldn't bear the idea of a man coming all the way from Buffalo to tell them anything about fin ance. He tried to get into tne gooa graces of his hearers by commencing to ridicule Mr. Bryan, the free silver and the free silver movement. No one likes that kind of argument and consequently the audience began to leave, in little crowds and big crowds.

There were vacant seats long before the meeting closed. The Bon Ton Oyster Parlor AND Short Order tfoiJse.

Over Haines, Loomis Co GROWN AND BRIDGE WORK. E. K. KIDGELT GIJE3 A MASTERFUL DISSERTATION OF THE MOXEI QUESTION. SILVER THE HOPE OF MASSES.

AND THE RESTORER OF PROSPERITY SAPP'S OPERA HOUSE CROWDED. Notwithstanding the crowding of the length of Main street last evening by a line of curiousity seekers awaiting the advent of T. V. Powderly who bye-the-bye failed to put in an appearance and thus spoiled a "great" Republican demonstration, Sapp's opera house was readily filled at 8 o'clock by an appreciative audience and a little later was literally packed from auditorium to galleries by the friends of silver and admirers of Mr. Ridgely, who is now before the people of this district as the nominee for congress.

E. C. Weilep in a well-chosen introductory presented the speaker to the audience and for two hours and a half Mr. Ridgely held his hearers spell-bound with his clever analysis of the money question. He clearly and logically traced the history of money and the gradual encrouch-ments of foreign influences on our financial system since the adoption in 1816 of the gold standard in England.

Mr. Ridgely digressed for a few moments to congratulate the Galena people on the exceptional prosperity of this district, which is going forward in spite of the odds of a general depression. For sixteen years the commercial and industrial conditions of this country nave been shrinking from general benefit to the people and centralizing in the fewer hands leaving the trail of decay over the broad land but building up immense cities and fortunes. Mr. Ridgely cleverly reviewed the growing dissatisfaction of the people during this period, the abrupt changing of policies by alternating Republican and Democratic adminis trations and the final outcome of this dissatisfaction in the great issue this year of the money question.

He scored the money conspiracy for its theft of the name of the Republican party at St. Louis. The gold plank of the bt. Louis platform was abhorrent to the great body of Republicans, it was against the teachings of the party for a quarter of a century and was shameful stultifying of all the glorious traditions of loyalty and good government credited to that party. The speaker was a complete encyclopedia on political economy, ana nis unansweraoie tracing of the corruptions which have encroached on the people's money, tnereoy centralizing tne wealth and impoverishing the masses was a brilliant and learned presentation of facts.

He was there to voice the people's necessities, not as the advocate of a mere party. The Chicago convention was a people convention and Bryan, in the inexorible logic of events, was called to the front as the people's tribune and standard bearer. The restoration of the people's money silver to its debt paying use was the all-important and primary reform to be accomplised now and all other reforms would follow in its glorious wake. Mr. Ridgely incontrovertible points were repeatedly applauded and the whole of his address an education in the financial and economic reforms now before the people.

Many old soldiers were present in the meeting and the speaker's appeal to them as a comrade and as one of the 115th Illinois regiment, not to be flurried by the sophistries of the gold men to the effect that their pentions would de preciate by the rehabilitation of silver, was clear, forcible and convincing. Mr. Ridgely's whole address was masterpiece of close reasoning and sincerity and at its conclusion he was the recipient of hearty handshaking by hundr eds of those present. It was apparent to the observer that the next congressman from this district will be the Hon. E.

R. Ridgely as he evidently is in close sympathy with the people, knows their necessities and is a fit and proper person to serve them in the national legislature.
