If the A. & n. voters of Platte
could have seen Post and Sibbets
last Friday evening as they came
into McAlpin's school house, drench-

The friends of competition in
Platte county feel grateful to Butler
and Seward county men, one and
all, for the enthusiasm which they
helped TO arouse, and the great aid
they rendered in making the short,
sharp canvass in this county from
Tuesday morning last, until Satur-
day evening. Their interests were
with ours and likewise their heads
and their hearts. They did most
excellent work.
We are informed that there is a
woman in the southern part of the |
city, lying very i'll with typhoid |
fever, with 10 medical or other |
sufficient attendance and is in a
really pitiable condition. Some |
good Christian lady should interest |
herself Immediately in her welfare,
and we are sure that our citizens
only need to be called upon to con-
tribute of their means for the well
fare of the family, who are said to |
be worthy i'll every respect.
The regular campaigners, the
old veterans, took an active part in
the recent canvass for the A. q n.
bonds. While the public in general
believed that nothing was being
done, the very best electioneering
work was going forward. The COM
mittee deserve commendation for
listening to and needing every hint,
from every quarter, calculated to
swell the majorities in favor of COM
petition, and for selecting the proper
men for making the canvass in the
several precincts.
