Watson has spoken in Washington, And tberotton egg element that had so fresly threatened to give trouble and had swi n to mako it hot for tlM champion of the Populists, did not show Its yellow bead. A Humor baa tor some time said that Watson could not speak is Washing ton. A counter rumor ba* said that be could, and would. The 20tb of July showed that the lat ter was the true prophecy. The 1 lo'clock train with extra cars at tached brought Watson and with aim live or six car loads of populists A larga aumber of popullsta had gath ered at the depot to meet Mas and these added to tbs trains cargo mads a crowd of 1000 or more. Before leavtog the da pot Mr- Watson made a brief address from * * -- the steps of hie carriage, baas- ting all to preserve the boat of order and to give no cause for offense, that nothing could stop the onward, successful march of our esuto but rasLooteaaoar part. Heartily did tho crowd respond to this appeal and tbeu deploying on aids walk and street they sought the grovf «a the outskirts of town ta was to take place and where the large part of iba crowd bad assembled. The speak ers stood was at tbs foot of a large am phitheater like hill, and tbs croed that gathered on its circling side numbeedr 000 Despite the prophecy and fear that’ there would be trouble, not a ripple disturbed the quiet and pence. No soundaave thatof cheering or of approbation was hoard be neatb the old shading trees. And tho speech; Lnck of time will not let us give it justice. It was such a dis course that only Watson can give. Mild uooffensive to his opponents, yet a strong tower of truth and tact for the patri ot His speech, as he said, was intendedfor the truth seeking democrats, (or times who had been caught for suckers by Glevslau d and the promisee of his followers. Ih took the democratic compaign book of txe last campaign and read from it ex tracts that showed how the Bobber Tar iff was running the poor farmers by a heavy tax ou nearly every thing that they had to buy. In his matchless style he then reminded them that the tariff was •till robhi ng him just as it always had and that those leaders who were so torirUy wrought up over the tariff before the elec tion were off fishing or junketing. In like manner he reminded them that every promise that bad bean made them was utterly forgottou or cast aside as old bait to bs used in the next compaign when again they would bs ''cauyht fur suckers.’ He said be had been accusod of chang ing but produced a copy of the Washing ton Gasette containing extract* of a speech be had made there last year and showed by that be was still advocatiag the very asm# principles. He then dwelt upon Hamilton and Jefferson and their opposing doc trios*, showing how the north was naturally Hamiltonian whils tbs South and West was corn pa! lad to bold the duct nose of Jefferson. He tbeu showed that Uamllto uiaa bankers aud boo Lera «f the North ■Mid Last controlled ins democratic party with a rod of Iroo, and that no Jsfferaetuan laws had or could he enacted so leaf as bommi - Aod to olU ‘“ * -he «U party Urn.

Mc Gregor arose and made a short hut stir* ring speech, and w hen he touched on the fact that Gov North on had ordered the State troops to be ready to move on Woshisgton that day—bit language was such as would inspire contempt for the miterablu being, who was elected by the votes of the very men whom now lie would be glad for a pretext to suppress by military fores. It was not generally known then that the borne militia com* pay of Washington was In their armory ready on a moments notice to march out and shoot——whoT Such was the rase however. Maj McGregor said nothing of It then, but bagged that the crowd preeent the same good order they had up to that time. Through the acts of the Governor and of the military of Wilkes was no doubt in tended for provocation, bo it recorded, patriotism and party love nnd pride; not the fear ot adudo military company that the* immense crowd could have swal lowed at single charge, made every thing move ns smoothly as n May day picnic at Washlnguon on the 20th of July 1893.
