Another Republican Speaker
The speech of Hon Chester B Brad
ley of Casper Wyo at Cornell Hall
Tuesday evening was well attended1
and attentively listened to but the
gentlemen failed to make any converts
He carefully retrained from referring
to democrats except asour populistic
democratic friends reserving the
title democrat for Palmers supporters
He jumped all around the silver ques
tion and struck the Mexican snag
which all smart republicans haye
learned to avoid and quoted figures
which were manifestly false The
first hour Tvas devoted to prov
ing that silver legislation and agitation
was solely responsible for our present
financial depression and gold standard
democrpts smiled Then he climbed
into the tariff wagon and swore that
tariff tinkering is the only thing
that made hard times and said more
tinkering is necessary to make 4them
better That was different Taken as
a whole his speech was a failure He
advanced no new point he made no
new argument he did uot prove a
single statement he made Next
Sheridan County Fair
The races were considered very good
this year There was but one trotting
race that being a free for all Guelf
Jr won first money in the trotting
race time 2 4A The Tace was made
against a strong wind The remain
der of the racos were running races-
and carried with them the usual in
terest and excitement There were
some very good horses on the track
The last day ot the fair was windy
and dusty But few were on the
grounds before noon The speaking
had lo be dispensed with The rtfees
came off as advertised and for all the
wind blew and the dust was blinding
the gate receipts were not behind last
year and the crowd seemed to enjoy
themselves Thereceiptswillbe suf 1
ficient to pay every dollar of premiums
in full All the races were paid in full
before the horsemen left the grounds
There was not a murmur of complaint
from tiny source All the horsemen
were well pleased at their treatment
This is our style of doing business
The other premiums will all be paid in
full in about ten days Gordon Jour

The second batallion Twelfth In
fantry under command of Maj Hum
phrey in camp on the Mmnechadnzaj
last Friday night prepared to resist an
attack which was expected to be made
by the first batallion sometime between
7 and 1030 oclock pm and in Com
pany withcSeven other gentlemen the
editor went out to see the fun Major
Humphreys men were stationed and
vigilant we learned and we were es
corted to his tent by a guard which
halted us at the river fdrd lEvery
body waited patiently for the attack
but it came not It seems that two
men from each company at the post
were sent out with orders to enter the
camp if possible but they were all
caught with one exception before
they accomplished their purpose
When the nature of the country where
the camp is located hills and gulches
canyons and bluffs is taken into con
sideration this fact speaks well for the
vigilance of the men and officersbf the
second batallion When recall was
sounded at 1030 the hills echoed with
the cheers of the men and they all re
turned to camp in good order
Our party was splendidly enter
tained after the play was over and
while we did dot see as much as ex
pected none of us failed being much
impressed with the way Uncle Samfs
boys did their duty Lying on the hill
side of a cold night waiting with every
sense alert for one knows not what is
certainly not the pleasantest task in
the world but there were no kicks

Many of our farmers rejoice over
the fact that some of their produce

was certainly an entertaining sight to
see the capabilities of our sandy soil
when it receives sufficient moisture
Try again is an excellent motto
Well our picnic is past and
much disapproval is expressed
in our neighborhood of the action of
some parties in calling down Mr Car
roll after he had commenced his
speech To say the least it was a sad
breach of good manners and a viola
tion of our national constitution which
grants the privilege of free speech to
all
