ing many North Platte youths in a

R. H. Langford of this city
goes to Madrid, Perkins county to
assist the republicans to open the
campaign. The republicans along
the line of the B.&M. are thoroughly
alive to the importance of the situa

lineto make an aggressive and win

The juvenile orchestra under

very delightful little concert at

the first portion of the entertain
ment many of whom, as the even

The joint debate at the court
house last night upon the silver
question between Messrs. Ridglev
and Edmonds attracted quite a
good sized audience, although it is
doubtful if a vote were turned either
way. While the former is the more
argumentative speaker and cites
better accepted authorities, yet the
latter is one of your "bawn orators,
sab," and is better calculed to catch
the unthinking ear. In a discus
sion of the money question it is the
most convincing to make a cent per
cent speech, the subject being one
of figures and statistics, yet such
an effort will never appeal to the
sympathies of an audience like the
ratrt'and roar of a populistic prose
lyte yet in the ,end it will have a
more enduring effect.
