The May Louise Aigen Theatrical
company were greeted at the opera
house Tuesday evening by the grinning
and skeleton-flke backs of hundreds of
empty chairs. The manager said the
slim audience was on account of the
democratic rally at the court house, but
we take it thftt our citizens are awaken
ing to the fact that these 75-cent shows
are an imposition. There are* two or*
three members of the company who pos
sess talent, but take them as a whole we
would just as leave listen to an aggre
gation of phonographs.
All the news received at the head
quarters of the republican congressional
campaign committee is encouraging,
and, notwithstanding the enormous dem
ocratic majority in the house, which
everybody knows was obtained by con
certed misrepresentations of the McKin
ley tariff law, there are good prospects
for electing a majority of republicans to
the next house. The workings of the
McKinley law, as shown by. reports pre
pared in numerous states by democratic
as well as republican officials, are prov
ing to be the most convincing sort of
arguments, and republican speakers who
took pan in the campaign of 1890 are
proudly recalling to their hearers the
prophecies made then as to how the law
would work. The wild-cat money plank
in the Chicago platform is also reported
to be doing good service for the repub
licans.
There arrived on the Short Line train
Monday evening a woman whose guid
ing star, it seems, has forsaken her.
She is one of the many, perchance, upon
whose path the bright sunshine has
seldom fallen. She was en r jute west,
and desired to have her baggage trans
ferred to the Elkhorn road. Upon mak
ing known her penniless condition the
transfer man received her check and in
formed Ler that be would , comply with
her wish. But on Tuesday afternoon,
her baggage having been neglected, she
missed the train. Then the apparently
pacific air of the premises was disturbed
by bitter wailings. To an assembled
audience she poured forth the pent up
nnguish of her heart. Her voice was
tremulous, her actions hysterical and
her every word and accent bespoke a
life that had been steeped in the hyssop
qnd gall of penury and misfortune. She
punctuated her story with gestures that
excited pity from all. After partially
giving vent to the burdens that weighed
upon her almost imbecile mind she de
parted, check in hand, and tried to hide
her emotion as she imprinted her pedals
upon the dusty sidewalk en route to the
depot. _

Carl Brown, of California, was in the
city last Friday night.
Who U Carl Brown?
We don’t know.
What is he?
A calamity acreecher.
The sun had sunk behind the western
hills, the lone night bird was calling,
while o’er this sad and dreary world the
shades of night were falling, when
silvery tongued bells In the hands of
small boys, mingled with their cries of
"Carl Brown In front ot the First Na
tional Bank to-night,” made discord
that was torturing in the extreme, but
compared to the speech of the speaker
was as soft and sweet as any strain e’er
born from Pollan strings touched by
the breath of angel minstrels. Quite a
respectable audience congregated on the
corner, more out of curiosity than any
thing else, and once there were as unable
to leave as t^e visitor, who, in ye ancient
times, was guided by capricious chance
Into the Grove of Dephane. Not that
the speaker’s shrill voice and spavined
pronunciation could in any way remind
one of the garden where love was law
and nature united her voices in obe
grand symphony of delight, but It is
not every day that the denlxens of these
lerme prairies are permitted to see a.
man dressed in buckskip, pants in bis
boots and lizards in bis shirt, and bear
him discuss politics and see blm draw
funny pictures. It was the novelty of
the thing that chained bis bearers teethe
spot and held them fast like some hor
rible nightmare. He sang a calamity
song for a couple of hours, pounded the
air and tore his hair whenever the con
dition of the poor laboring man would
force itself upon him. But the end
came; a good brother passed the hat,
the speaker proposed three cheers for
Weaver,but the echo, multiplied an hun
dred times, came hack with three lusty
whoops for Harrison; the small boy
threw eggs and the stranger valnlshed
into the darkness, chaperoned by Henry
Murphy and Judas Woods.
Hon. J. L. Caldwell, of Lincoln, spoke
to a large and enthusiastic audience here
last night. Mr. Caldwell is a fine speaker
and the way in whioh be disposed of the
free trade fallacies, whioh were presented
by J. Sterling Morton on Tuesday even
ing, made the democrats present4‘smith
a sickly smile." One of the most pleas
ent features of the evening was the
torchlight prooession and parade made
by the republican club, who were out in
uniform 100 strong and after marching
through the principal streets of the city
escorted the speaker to the court bouso.
The Fair.
The eighth annual exhibition of the
Holt County Agricultural society is now
being held in this city. The exhibit of
live stock is good. The farmers have
not taken the interest this year tbat
they generally do and the exhibit of
grain and other farm products are not
as large as it has been other years.
The races yesterday were good. The
pony race being won by William Pettis’
pony. The Holt county trot being won
by DeYarman’s horse.
One of the principal attractions yes
terday was Prof. Ward, of Sioux City,
who made an ascension with a baloon,
going up 3,000 feet and then making a
parachute drop, alighting about 400
yards from where he started. To-day
and to-morrow promises to be two good
days and you should attend. All the
business houses will close from 13
o’clock to 4:30 to-day in order to allow
their employes to visit the fair grounds.
We will give a more extended descrip
tion next week.
The Alliance Bud.
There were ninety and nine that came to
town
And groaned of the farmers' woes,
While one stayed out on the prairie brown,
And toiled with his spade and hoes;
Out on his homestead, all day long.
He rustled nor Joined the groaning throng.
The noise they raised, those ninety and nine,
Was heard all over the land.
While one tolled on with the plant and vine.
And delved In the mould and sand;
Little by little he put away
A roll of cash for a rainy day.
The farms once owned by the ninety and
nine
Were Bold at a sheriff’s sale,
While one stood by with a smile benign.
His roll In his left coattail;
He bought and bought till he owned the land
That once was owned by the groaning band.
There are ninety and nine who bit the ties
As they journey from town to town,
A cold wet dew on tbelr whiskers lies,
And their hearts are broken down;
One views his farms with a happy air
And marks the crops that are growing there.

O'Neill, Neb., Oot. 4, 1803.
At. 0. B. Howard, Chairman Independ
ent Central Committee, O'Neill, Neb.—
Deer 0ir: You having published your
second lettor to me relative to the joint
, discussion between our candidates, and
having placed those candidates and my
self in something of a false position, 1
take this way of replying: In the first
place, I desire to say that you were not
honest to begin with, and to prove this
it is only necessary to refer to your let
ters. In your letter of September 18
you say “that the independents believe
that political parties are formed for the
advocacy of principles and not as a
means to deceive the people to procure
office, ” hence your challenge to our nom
inees, while in the one of September 28
you say it is tl.e standard bearers we de
sire to bring together that the people
may have the advantage of comparison
and an opportunity to exact pledges,
etc. If we accept the last as your rea
son fur the challenge, then the first must
be false, and it is the offices you are aft
er and Cot the advocacy of principles—
a fact further proven bv your refnsal to
allow representatives of each party to
discuss issues involved.
Surely the men who helped to make
the platform are as capable of discussing
the principles therein contained as are
the nominees un the platform. 1 wish
to assure you that my proposition was
no “ruse,” nor was it made as you say
"to deceive or draw attention from our
candidates,” but it was made with a sin
cere desire to get the issues between the
two parties clearly and forcibly before
the people of Holt county, knowing full
well that independents would be scarce
when the falliOfes of their leaders were
once exposed.
Please consider the proposition still
standing. You say that my admission
that our nominees for the legislature
might not be a match for your nominees
in a “battle of woids" is something you
did not look for, and undertake to prove
from that they are not fit for legislative
duties. The history of our country will
bear me out In the assertion that many
of our most successful legislators have
been men that could not make a speech.
Did anyone ever bear of Thaddius Stev
ens making a speech?
Your efforts therefore to show that be
cause a man is not a speech-maker he is
not capable for the legislature counts
for nothing. An ass is noted for its loud
braying. And as to our nojninees being
able to cope with the "trained lobbyist,
the railroad cappers and jobbers," 1 will
say that the republican party of Holt
county stands ready to give a written
guarantee that if these men are elected
they will not be stolen and run out of
the country, as a noted independent was
during the last session of the legislat
ure. Very respectfully,
G. C. Hazelet,
Chairman Republican Central Com
mittee.

mittee.
Morton and Wolboeh,
■ J. Sterling Morton, the democratic
nominee for governon, and 8. N. VVol
bach, the nominee for lieutenant govern
or, addressed a large crowd at the court
house on Tuesday evening. Mr. Morton
is a fluent speaker and was frequently
applauded. But when he started to dress
Van Wyck a little, by telling some com-1
leal stories about him- and the third
party tbs audience fairly shrieked. Al
though a large number of those present
were republicans and independents still
there were quite a few democrats out,
and it was a successful meeting.
Harrison and Cleveland,
"Harrison and Cleveland commenced
political life before the war. They be
gan, and have ever since continued, in
opposition parties. They have all their
lives represented and contended for con
flicting and opposing ideas, principles
and purposes.
“The first great question with respect
to which they differed was human slav
ery. Harrison thought it should be
stopped where it was; Cleveland wanted
to extend it into other territories. Har
rison thought it a blighting curse; Cleve
land thought it a divine institution and
social blessing. From such a begin
ning that which followed was natural.
“One took membership in the party
of Abraham Lincoln; the other in the
party of James Buchanan. One was
the partv of freedom; the other was the
party of slavery. One was the party of
union; the other of disunion. One
party produced such men as Sumner,
Grant, Garfield, John A. Logan and
James G. Blaine. The other gave us
Jefferson Davis and treason at the south,
and Fernando Wood, Adlai E. Steven
son and the Knights of the Golden
Circle at the north.
“When the war came on it bnt ftensi
fled their differences.
nuriaon Became a soiaier ana
Cleveland became a copperhead.”
t After paying further tribute to Presi
dent Harrison and bis administration,
ex-Qovernor Forakercontinued:
“Cleveland has no share whatever in
the great victories that have been won
in either the field or the forum. He was
a democrat when democracy meant the
auction block and the whipping post.'
He was a democrat when democracy
was enacting and enforcing laws that
made it a crime to teach the black man
the letters of the alphabet. He was a
democrat when democracy taught the
treasonable doctrines of secession. He
was a democrat when democracy fired
on Fort Sumpter.
“He was a democrat when democracy
denounced Lincoln as an ape, a gorrilla,
a tyrant and a usurper. He was a demo
crat when democracy pronounced the
war a failure and demanded an immedi
ate cessation of hostilities. His. whole
life and all his political affiliations and
experiences were such as to prepare
him for the work of vetoing pension
bills, returning rebel flags, advocating
free trade, and making war generally
upon the patriotism and the prosperity
of bis country when he became presi
dent. It was not to the credit of the
American people that he was made
president once. It would be inexcus
able to make him president twioe.—
