in short, no barbecue at all, bu. only one

though the mental aliment furnished by the
Rev. Henry Clay dean and c. C. Cole, were
not sufficient to repay the Omahas for their

1--WE published the vote Of Massachusetts, on
the two years amendment" Courier
When did you publish that vote?
Pray let us know. The fact is. no
snch statement ever appeared in
your paper, for the simple reason
that il did not suit your purpose to
give it. Come neighbor, spunk up!
Have a little courage for once, and
give the figures. Let US have the
vote for and against this amendment,
together with the number OF votes
the Democracy can command in
Massachusetts, and the Republican
vote too, If you c'oose.
The Eiitor made a showing o.
the comparative strength Of the De-
mocrats and Republicans, bnt very
carefully kept out Of sight the very
Insignificant vote cast in reference to
the amendment. lie reasons thus
the Republicans could have CON-
manded los, 900 vo.es-sufficient ia
defeat tho amendment, therefore,
they are responsible for its adoption
Now let us zee how his reasoning
will apply to the Democracy. Ac-
cording to his own showing, the Dc
mocracy can command 80, 900 votes
in Massachusetts. The whole mum
ber of votes cast for and against tn,
amendment. according to the officia
returns, was 5,sS2, of which 2O,S0t
were cast for it, and 1919 agains
it. The Democracy having there
fore votes enough to defeat the
measure are responsible for it's adopt
ion, on the gentleman's own princi
pies Of reasoning.

KANSAS ELBcTIoN.-The election
TOR delegates to the Kansaa Cons.i-

favor of the Republicans. A des-
perate effort was made, by the pro.

seats of a number OF the successful
candidates will therefore be contest

There has never been q ticket nomi-

prospect now is that the Republican

by casting an overwhelming majority
