The landseekers have come in to possess the land , and scores of them are scouring the country over in quest of choice farms. The keenly anticipated Andre ws- Kcighati joint debate lias passed into history , and with it go a train of most highly gratifying remembrances to the Republicans of iMcCook and south western Nebraska. In the first place the demonstration made by the Repub lican clubs of Holdrego , Cambridge , Benkelman , Ilaigler , Max , Hayes Centre and McCook , preceding the debate , was unparalled in point of numbers and enthusiasm in local annals. There were perhaps over f)00 voters in line , led by the uniformed brass hands of Cambridge and McCook , and the uniformed martial bands of Benkelman , Uoldrego and Hayes Cen tre ; and together with their torches and banners galore , they made an inspiring scene , unbounded enthusiasm prevail ing all the while. The attendance exceeded expectations and the wigwam provided in the open space noi th of the Commercial [ louse was entirely unequal to the task of ac commodating the applauding hundreds present. As to the merits of the debate our independent friends doubtless entertain other and different convictions than do the Republicans. But the latter have every reason to feel proud and gratified at the splendid defence made of Repub lican doctrines and principles and poli cy by their admirable and able champion and standard bearer , Hon. W. E. An drews , who gave most convincing and entertaining proof of his ability to cope with the wily and practiced veteran Congressman McKeigban , who has met in Mr. Andrews a gentleman , scholar arid debater pre-eminently worthy of li\s \ steel. The Republicans of this part of the district will go away from this debate ; with a confidence immensely strengthen ed , for their leader has in their hearing given most vigorous evidence that their trust has not been misplaced , that he is able to maintain their cause with digni ty and power. The ladies of the Congregational church realized a neat sum out of their supper , Jast evening , and assisted large ly in feeding the crowd which thronged to hear the debate. As usual both sides won or think uitjy uiu wnicii is not. auogeiner unue- sirable , as all can feel happy. When it comes to banners galore the Soldrege Republican club is strictly in it. - It was the largest and most intensely enthusiastic political gathering ever held in southwestern Nebraska. A genuine ovation to Andrews. There were about 150 members of Dundy county Republican clubs in the procession , leaded by a martial band from Benkelman. One of the prettiest features of the proces sion was the martial band of small boys in uniform from Hayes Centre. The Holdredge Republican club in uni- : orm and with a martial band made a fine howing. The Cambridge brass band headed overlOO members of the Cambridge Republican club. Reid Testimonial Concert.
