. tibunc. . : fHIRTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING , OCT. 19 , 1894. , ' ' NUMBER 22 , - , ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICANS reet Andrews and Crounse Here Last Friday Afternoon and Evening With i IMMENSE AUDIENCES. Hon. W. i. Andrews and Governor Lorenzo Crounse discussed the issues of ; this campaign in our city , last Friday afternoou and evening , to large , deeply interested and enthusiastic audiences- the Menard opera house being crowded upon both occasions. Mr. Andrews opened the afternoon meeting with an address on the pension and money questions. He conclusively proved that the pension policy of the republican party was based on gratitude , justice and patriotism. That the republican - lican party has always been the true , tried and consistent friend of the old veteran. That about all' the desirable legislation and fair execution and administration - ministration thereof have been secured - ' . . , , n . .through the republican party and policy. . : As to the money question he favored a true bimetalism , a sound and honest currency , the frees ; use of silver consistent - sistent with its maintenance at a parity ; / with our gold and paper money. And incidentally roasting the walking delegate - gate in a gentlemanly way for his contraction - traction of facts and expausion of errors in his money discussions. Governor Crounse followed up this able and convincing speech with some remarks touching the republican administration - istration of state affairs , the extravagance - gance of populistic legislatures , the damage the state has already received aud the menace and danger to the ' state's credit threatened by populistic domination ; and closed with a brief characterization of Senator Allen and Congressman McKeighan that carried his audience by storm. The evening meeting was even larger , if anything , than the afternoon , although the attendance of farmers was larger upon the afternoon. The ladies were 'cell represented in the evening meeting ! at is gratifying to note. f The opening remarks of the evening were made by Governor Crounse , who covered pretty much the same ground as on the afternoon , explaining , among other interesting things , the reason why a special legislative session was not .called by him to devise means to assist those who need aid in this section of state , viz : that populist extravagance had long since exceeded the constitutional - tional debt limit of the state , etc. Mr. Andrews closed the meeting with a most eloquent speech covering as fully as might be in the limited time the labor and tariff questions. That labor should have a just portion of the wealth it produces. That this result can best be secured through the protective - tive policy of the republican party as promulgated by McKinley , and reciprocity - ciprocity as set forth by the lamented Blaine. Altogether the speeches were well 're- ceived , 'and an intererestand enthusiasm and admiration aroused in many breasts that will go with them throughout the campaign. Gentlemen of McCook. Mr. P. A.

The newly wedded and happy couple were treated to a charivari , Tuesday evening , which is described by the people of that section - tion of the city as being a corker with several well defined sets of horns , lasting through a vociferous period of about four hours , and only concluded when the horny-handed son of the Czar had invested in a copious supply of the amber - ber colored liquid for the crowd.

Fifteen members of the McCook high school alumni met at the home of Miss Johannah Engel , last Saturday night , for the purpose of organizing an alumni association. After some discussion a temporary organization was effected with the following officers : Miss Edna IIe- serve , president ; Miss Augusta Hunt , vice president ; Miss May Stuby , secretary - tary and treasurer. A committee on constitution was selected as follows : Mr. J. -Fowler , Miss Della Johnston and Miss Hattie Varger. The next meeting will be held subject to the call of the committee , and will be when the committee - mittee are ready to report a constitution for the approval of the association. Thirty-three pupils have graduated from the McCook high school. Of this number twenty-seven still reside in the city and vicinity. It is expected that the fifteen present on the evening of the temporary organization will be joined by most of not qnite all of the graduates still living here. A Successful Social. The Baptist friends conducted a most gratifyingly successful social in the A. 0. U.W. temple hall , last Saturday even- ing. A musical and literary programme of merit and excellence was given in the fore part of the evening , which was most satisfactorily rounded off with an oyster spread. The programme rendered consisted - sisted of a chorus by the choir-with a soprano solo by Miss Ellington Wilson , a recitation by Miss Bertha Boyle , a song by five young girls , an instrumental trio by the Misses Bomgardner and Mr. Ely , a'chorus and duet with Miss Wilson and Mrs. Robinson , a solo by Mrs. Utter , a recitation by Mrs. Chute , and concluding - ing with two choruses by the full choir. The programme throughout was well rendered , the several numbers being warmly applauded and appreciated. The affair in its totality reflected credit upon all concerned , and deserved the measure of patronage bestowed-and it was very generous. Ladies of McCook. The McCook Mercantile Co. has just received from New York city a full line of the latest novelties in dress goods. These goods were selected by Mr. J.

Campbell of our city that the supreme court had affirmed the decision of the district court in the county-seat case , which was in McCook's favor. On Wednesday , however , another telegram was received , from the clerk of the supreme court , to the effect that the supreme court had modified its decision of the previous day and that the case had been dismissed - ed on the grounds that the contestant Thomas was not a competent person to bring such a suit. What the next move will be time alone will tell. But this "modification" cost McCook merchants a quantity of good kindling wood , the band boys a little wind , a few private individuals a small quantity of fire works , Tuesday evening , and the small boys some enthusiasm.

Quite a sensation has been created throughout the 14th district , this week , by the arrest of Judge D. T Welty on the charge of receiving a bribe. The complaint was sworn out Saturday by A , D. Gibbs , late court reporter , and the warrant was issued by Judge Anderson of Furnas county. The arrest was made on Monday by the sheriff of Furnas county at Beaver City. The preliminary hearing was set for Oct. 25th , and the bond fixed at $ Iooooo. The complainant Gibbs was recently discharged from the position of court reporter by Judge Welty , and John Stevens , Jr. , son of John Stevens , Sr. , now populist representative from Furnas county and up for reelection , was appointed - pointed to succeed Gibbs. Both Gibbs and Stevens were former employes of W. S. Morlan of our city. This action caused the arrest. Among other allegations in the complaint - plaint is one that Morlan paid Welty $225 oo for Gibbsappointment as official stenographer. Another incident enlarged upon is the fact that at the convention held in 18gt when Welty was nominated for judge , a pledge was secured from \Velty that he I would not accept a pass from any railroad - road under airy circumstances ; and letters that could not have beet : secured honestly by Gibbs are by ] tiny produced in evidence on this point-that Welty + has used passes and mileage , the latter being used in this district as a blind. This seems to be about a11 , if not all , there is iu this matter , and the fact is doubtless not denied. But whatever may be the merits of Gibbs' case , no man will attempt to condone an offense so offensive to and at variance with even a low ideal of manhood and honor , as violating private confidence and trust. And again the public will doubtless indulge - dulge the question which will naturally arise in their minds , as to haw Gibbs came into possession of original letters front iris employer's office , or of even copies of tare same. Judge Welty is doubtless open to political criticism for pledge-breaking in using transportation and THE TRIBUNE does not condone the offense ; but we feel perfectly certain that the offense is no graver than that , and hence have no disposition to manufacture sentiment against him or his party on that line. As to the charge of receiving a bribe from W. S. Morlan , we have reasons to believe that the allegation is false , and the preliminary examination on the 25th will bear us out on the statement. As to ex-stenographer Gibbs , TuE TRIBUNE will be excused for saying that in his passionate peek and vigorous - ous vindictiveness he has bitten offntore than he can gracefully masticate , and if he experiences some difficulty in swallowing - lowing before the end of the chapter it will not cause much wonderment. Next Monday Mrs. E. E , Utter ex- pectsto have her studio , room 3 in the Union block , over Ganschow's store , in readiness to receive pupils. The southwestern Nebraska teachers' association will meet in Ioldrege. Nov ember t , 2 and 3. Buy your tablets , inks and box papers of L. W. McConnell & Co.
