CHADRON. Neb. , May 2C. ( Special to
The Bee. ) When It comes to the nrplrants
for congressional honors to succeed Omer
II. Kem , any town In this district that does
not sport at least one candidate can be de
clared dead. John T. Mallalleu of Kearney.
an avowed aspirant , was looking up his
ptcspcctlve fences in this section of the
district some time ago. He appears to
have quite a following in the southern part
of the district. Judge Klnkald is In the
race , and expects to win. The judge has
many admirers in the Fifteenth judicial
district , where he has presided lor some
years past , and his followers c'alm ' he can
carry more votes outside of his
own party than any other man.
Certain It is that he is a strong man
for the place. Hailing from the same place
( O'Neill ) comes Colonel A. L. Towle , who
is of the opinion that he can carry the honors
gracefully , and report has It that he carries
considerable weight In his own vicinity. Then
comes that hearty , bluff and genial gentle
man who is at present holding down a posi
tion under the present administration in the
United States land office at Alliance , Hon.
Fred M. Dorrlngton , who , It is said , has
many friends throughout the district in ad
dition to his own immediate followers at
home. Mr. Dorrington was before the re
publican convention two years ago , but was
defeated by a small majority by James
Whitehead of Broken Bow.

tended and enthusiastic.
The fact that Chris Hoeppner of Omaha
appears as one of the signers of the call for
the free silver democratic convention , meets
with considerable surprise in Hastings ,
Hoeppner's old home , Hoeppner was elected
county attorney by the populists here four
y > rs ago , and after sen-ing two years , was
reiiomlnated by the Independents. He was
defeated , however , and moved to Omaha to
appear as a democrat on this call.

night upon the political issues of the day

one , but the principles of the democratic

both In the past and present. The financial
question was ably handled by the speaker.
and illustrations used .to make plain his Ideas
were right to the point. The independent
party was hardly mentioned or recognized.
Several democrats were , present and seemed
