Parsons returned this mornig from
the west end of the state where
thev made several free silver
speeches.
It is reported that Governor
Holcombjwill be one of the speak
ers at the free silver meeting to be
held in this city nextMonday even
ing.
Senator Hoagland has been
making speeches in the west part
of the district this week. It is
quite probable the stormy weather
interferred considerably with his
work.
The celerity with which the
snow was removed from the side
walks in the business portion of
town this morning was creditable
to the property occupants, and they
received the thanks of pedestrians.
Wild ducks are very plentiful
on the small ponds northwest of the
city, and hunters can in a few
hours shoot a wagon load of the
fowl. Wednesday evening Will
Woodhurst and Dell Huntington
killed eight mallards in two shots
To-morrow night is All-Hallo w-
Een and the small boy will prob
ably indulge iu his usual pranks on
the occasion. It might be well for
property owners to nail 'up their
gates and weight down their, side-
walks, else these objects are likely
to disappear during the night.
There is quite a demand for
cattle in some sections of the coun
ty where corn is plentiful. A bet
ter price can be obtained for the
grain by feeding it than though it
were shipped to the eastern mar
kets. Lincoln county will not reach
her highest condition of prosperity
until she feeds to cattle and hogs
all the grain she produces.
The city council will hold a
regular meeting next Monday ev
ening, providing the members are
not too much absorbed in politics
to attend. If a quorum is present
the clerk will render a statement of
the expenses of the city from May
1st to date, and other business of
r
more or less importance will be
transacted.
Election returns will be re
ceived and posted at republican
headquarters in the Meyer building
on Tuesday night of next week.
The room will be fitted up to ac
commodate a large crowd and all
republicans, as well as others, are
invited to be at headquarters on
election night..
The Wilcox Dept. Store has
that stove board you need at about
one-half usual price.
Republicans of the Third ward
have applied for a mandamus re
quiring the county clerk to place
upon the ballots the precinct nomi
nations made by petition. In the
opinion of the clerk the nominations
were not filed with him within the
time specified by law, while the
parties interested claim that they
were.
There is no doubt but people
generally, will be glad when elec
tion is over. The campaign has
been a long one, has been lull of
interest and has absorbed people's
attention to the exclusion- of busi
ness matters. With election over
and near approach of cold weather
a perceptible increase in bdsiness
may be .expected, especially in the
dry goods and clothing lines.
. Saturday has been designated
by the republican national commit
tee as flag day, and it should be
generally abserved bT republicans
in this city. The day is intended
to be one of practical devotion to
country and flag and to the party
which stands for good government,
sound money and protection to
American workingmen and indus
tries. -E. B. Warner, Dentist, office in
Hinman block, up stairs Spruce st.
When J. R. Bangs was at the
World's Fair at Chicago he was im
pressed with the appearance of
some corn in the Canadian exhibit.
He asked the superintendent for an
ear but was reiused. He, however,
gathered up six grains from the
floor, and bringing them home
planted them the next spring. Each
3'ear since then' he has saved the
crop, and this year he harvested
three ojr four bushels. This season
he planted the corn on the 15th of
May and harvested it fully matured
on -August 15th. It is flint torn,
exceeding!' . hard and the ears,
though not extra large are well
filled.

AN OCTOBER BLIZZARD.
Back east they will tell you
that out in Nebraska the tempera
ture changes so quickly that chick
ens have been known to freeze fast
in mud while attempting to cross a
road. This is perhaps overdraw
ing the matter somewhat, ret it is
a known fact that a change of forty
or fifty degrees in the temperature
frequently occurs within twenty-
four hours. During the pleasant
weather of Monday and Tuesday
several local wiseacres told us that
the warm temperature was breed
ing a storm, and these prophets
were apparently correct, for yester
day we were visited by the severest
October blizzard within the recol
lection of the oldest inhabitant.

THE BANTINGS OF SCOTT.
The smiling- countenances ot re
publicans observed everywhere, this
week, on the- streets, are an indica
tion that protective and sound
money principles are at high tide
and those who ardently suppor
these doctrines a're correspondingly
happy. Monday evening- the town
was ablaze with republicanism, and
the wistful, far-away look on the
faces of the few democrats lett,sa a
louder than words that the silent
monitor has whispered .in their
ears that word "defeat," than
which no other word has so harsh
a sound to the American ear de

As if to add insult to iniurv, af-
ter Senator Thurston and Hon. A
E. Cady had dealt witirtke issues
involved in this campaign in clean
cut, logical speeches, in which no
one word of abuse appeared, alonjr
came C. Ranter Scott, whilom un
known judge of Omaha whom the
republican party lifted up from ob
curitv to a position of honor and
trust, and he delivered an address
which gave the republican party an
impetus which will only end when
the battle is over, and victory and
triumph are inscribed upon the
banner of the party which favors
sound money, protective principles
and honest government
The "eminent jurist's"' speech
can be summed up as follows: one-
fourth of time to abuse of Senator
Thurston, one-fourth of time to
abuse of John Sherman, one-fourth
to slandering" Queen Victoria and
her children, and balance of time
"cussing" the republican party
srenerally. ForAveakness of argu
ment but strength of abusive epi
thets and billingsgate, the
fudjre
bears the palm, and
ins talk in
that regard was a gem of
water.

knowing- that the Senator would
not descend to notice his scirrilous

t and was ow actinff the t of
tbe bad bov wll0 when he .vas not
permitted to plav in the nice yard.
ffot even, by throwing" mud at the
got even, by
windows of the house, the first part
of bis talk is dismissed as unwor
thy of notice 'and too rank to han
dle with a long- pole, much less
with a pencil.
The speaker said it was the
avowed intention of Ins party to
array the masses against the rich,
to excite class against class, and in
short, play the devil srenerally till
dent, and swore that he would, if
he and his party had to wade in
blood up to their knees, and over
the dead bodies every republican
in the country, forgetting the
striking fact that no democratic
president has ever met with a vie-
lent death, while two republican
presidents have been assassinated.
The "eminent iurist" (?) then
mopped his brow, caught his sec
ond wind, and with the venom
of a snake, shouted forth in his
high-keyed voice that his party un
der certain conditions proposed to
erect a monument composed of, the
dead and mangled bodies of the
gold bugs of ti6 country.
After the speaker had slain and
mutilated the gold bugs, he paused
a moment to collect ins wanino'
strength, and then, like a beast of
prey, lie sprang upon tne venerable
and respected head of the Metho
dist church, Bishop Newman, de
nouncod him as a liar, and as one
disloyal to the trust imposed in
him by his people. After he had

One of the roarbacks which the
populists expected to spring- was
that Jack MacColl had not "taken
out his naturalization papers. They
had obtained, presumably, an affi
davit from clerk of the district
court of Dawson county to this ef
fect. The clerk of the court failed to
find Mr. MacColl's name on the in
dex of the records and supposed that
j naturalization papers had not been
issued. Further search, however,
developed the fact that these
papers had been issued tq Mr. MacT
Coll in 1873, but through the negli-
gence of the clerk the next gover
nor's name was not placed on the
index.
