Special Dispatch to The Daily AUskan
Fairbanks, July 23 ? Wickersliam was greeted last
night at Fox city, one of the thriving mining camps of the
Tanana section, by the blowing of whistles from every claim
on Goldstream. The crowd was so great that he was
compelled to address the miners in the open as there wan
no hall or enclosure large enough. McLeod, ex-president
of the Western Federation of miners, was president of the
meeting and made an address that was enthusiastically
applauded. He laaid: "We want no more experiments
in the matter of a delegate to congress, but rather a man
known to be capable, aud who is a fighter. Down with
iloggattism! We are not selling our votes for a glass of
beer or a cigar, to a Seattle lawyer."
Fairbanks, July 28 ? Saturday night has been set for
the holding of a grand ratification meeting at Fairbanks in
the matter of the candidacy of Judge Wickersliam. Iiati
lication meetings will be held at Valdez and at Nome on

would suggest that ratification meetings be held at all
points throughout the district where there are friends
of Judge Wickersliam, that expression may be given of
the sentiment toward him.
