After ten days of very earnest and laborious work on the part of half a dozen free silver democrats the Bryan ratification was held Wednesday evening-. For several days preceding- it had been an nounced that the affair would be the greatest and grandest political demonstration ever given in North Platte, and hundreds of our.citizens who had apparently forgotten that democratic promises mean noth- ing, assembled on the streets to witness the parade. Viewed from any standpoint it cannot be said that, the occasion was one of which the promoters could burst with pride in some respects it was a dismal failure. The parade formed on Front street about half past eight o'clock, and headed by the cornet band marched a mile or more throusrh the streets. In the parade were about 200 torches and fifteen or twenty transparencies, but to the dim light within the latter the inscriptions thereon could be read by few. The torches were Lduicu uiiuuuauv uy uuvs. counts - -,i : : ii i i r i 0f the voters in line were taken by several spectators at several points on the line of march, and at no time or place could more than sixty-seven voters be discovered in line. It is said that many of the boys were promised a nickel each if they would carry a torch, but we will not vouch for the accuracv of this statement. In a wagon was an immature double-lieaded calr, which was supposed lo represent the political illegitimacy of the free silver party and that the organiza tion has two heads. Cheers were en ior Brvan by some of the enthusiasts in line, but nary a cheer for either Sewall or Watson was heard. The only creditable feature of the parade was the pyrotechnic display. About half past nine the proces sion broke ranks at the court house park, where a temporary stand for the speakers and a few seats for the audience had been erected. Quite a large crowd, principally ladies.and'boys, were present when T. Fulton Gantt began his address but the crowd grew less as he pro ceeded, and by the time he finished, J. G. Beeler, who followed him, faced an audience of about 200. The audieuce present was anything but enthusiastic in fact it it had been possible to corrall and con dense the coldness shown by the crowd it would have, supplied re frigerator cars with ice for the re mainder of the season. When it is taken into considera tion that this attempt at a ratifica tion was a joint effort of the silver democrats and populists, and that several in the parade were country several additional courts are con residents, the full measure of its templated by lovers oi this sport, diminutiveness is more fully appre- A new w00den curbing is be- J 5 TT 3 t cwueu. naaauyrepuoncanwaiKea i. 11 !.i.n. r n 1 i i to tue miuuie or apruce street aud exclaimed: "Fall in linp, sound money men," a paradp outnumber ing the silver demonstration could have been formed in three minutes' time.

Price, a North Platte black smith, was in town today on busi ness. He informed the writer that he had always been a democrat, but that this election would find his vote registered for McKinley and sound currency. We have talked with a number of republicans from the south side lately and they seem confident that J. S. Robbins will be elected com missioner from their district this fall, no matter who the pops put up. We hope their predictions will prove Correct, Dr. Sawyer; Dear Sir: Having used your Pas tilles, I can recommend them to the public; I have been attended by four different doctors, but one and a half boxes of your medicine has done me more good than all of them.

That all the eyes from the east which are.turned toward Nebraska are not political is evidenced by a transaction in realty located in the western part of tlie state. One of the largest bodies of land in the state in the possession of one per son or company has been that owned by Coe, Carter & Co,, of North Platte. A portion of their holdings has been placed under ir rigation ditches, but there is a still larger body that has not. For some time negotiations have been in progress for the sale of this land to Turpie Brothers of Toledo, O. Through the manager of Coe, Car ter & Co., John Bratt, the sale has at last been consummated, the con sideration being in the neignbor- hood.of $250,000. The land in question lies partly in the bottoms of the Platte and partly on the Birdwood, about twenty-five miles from North Platte. It is in the east part of Keith and the west part of Lincoln county. A major portion of it lies in the bottom and can be irrigated without any serious difficulty. The soil is rich and with the water pro vided will produce crops that can not be excelled for quantity or qual ity anywhere. It is understood the purchasers propose, as soon as possible, to put the entire tract under ditch. This will mean an outlay of a large sum or money, out tne purciiasers are said to have unbounded faith in the financial success of the venture. On the portion of the "tract which is now under ditch the crops are said to be so much superior to those on non-irrigated land.even in this year of promise, as to demonstrate the profit of irrigation-even in the most favorable seasons.

Philadelphia Ledger, The trickery of the Bryan mana gers in pretending that they had a telegram from that facile boy pro digy refusing to accept a nomina tion from the pops unless Sewall was also nominated, when if he sent such a dispatch he did not intend to carry out the threat, appears to call forth no resentment on the part of either popocrat or populist. It is a specimen of their accepted rnodQ of political manageneqt. They count with, confidence on an eudorse inent of such methods by the crowd that mingles knavery and foolish ness in equal parts for the consump tion of their willing dupes. Jour nal.
