The number of cars being iced

Republican Mooting.
The republican meeting at the
court house last evening, which
was addressed by Johti'N. Baldwin
ot Council Bluffs, was attended by
nearly three hundred citizens,
many extra chairs being- placed in
the room to accommodate tlu crowd.
The meeting was opened by a
selection by the Gothenburg glee
club, and so loudly were thev ap
plauded that they responded with
two other selections. This organi
zation is an excellent one, and
materially assisted in making1 the
meeting a success.
Mr. Baldwin, whr, was a class
mate of Judge Grimes, wan intro
duccd by the latter, and b-,o1;c for
about two hours. His address was
a masterly one, absolutely ireo from
abuse, and replete with log'c. many
saying that it was nne of ihc best,
if not the best speech they bad tyer
heard in North Platte.
The speaker compared the
prophecies made by by Bryan and
his followers four years uiro with
the actual facts as they exint to
day. showing how absolutely
fallacious were those prophecies
In his1 argument Mr. Baldwin give
uncontroyerted facts and figures; if
they wercnot true he challenged
any one in the audiencc'to disprove
them.
Mr. Baldwin discussed all the
issues oetore the people, and
handled each subject in si way that
made the truth .clear ti each
auditor. His references to the flag
and to President McKinlcv and his
work were outburst of pivti iotism
and oratory seldom beard. The
address was throughout one which
stirred republicans to the core and
set the fusiouists present to con
sidcrinL'- the issues before the
people in the true light.
The meeting closed with a song
by the Gothenburg glee club.

proposition to erect and maintain
an electric niriit system. air.
Wilkes a-ks for a twelve year fran
chisc and agrees to put in a plant
capable of supplying at least
twenty arc lights and 1500 incan
descent lights. The schedule of
prices to the city, based on the
Philadelphia moonlight schedule,
would be ninety dollars per vcar
for a 2,000 candle power arc light
and $2.25 per month for thirty-two
candle power incandescent lights
To private parties the prices would
be fifteen dollars per month for all
night arc lights and ten dollars il
burned only to midnight. The
incandescent lights are based on
the metre system at the rate of
nine-tenths of a cent per hour for
:i sixteen candle power light. Ten
per cent discount will be made if
bills arc paid before the 10th of each
month.

has yet been submitted to the city,

council at its meeting next Tuesday
