THE CAMPAIGN OPENED
At BeIIairs by Feran's Able
Spsaeh
On Friday-What the Candidates are Doing
Serious Accident-Surprise-The
Weeks Resume.

II. A. Foran was the orator Of the evening,
and the hall was well filled with voters,
who wanted to hear Democrat who was
elevated to Congress from Q strong Repub.
lican district. VIM. S. GallAher, of the
Second ward, presided, and in very neat
little speech presented the speaker Of the
evening, who spoke about two hours on the
issues Of the day, and the speech through
out was one Of the incest and plainest ever
delivered here, and was we'll received and
heartily applauded. The Republicans did
not like it, of course, and denominate it
weak speech, and this is one of the best
possible signs that the speech told; il
hurts, and this is the reason they don't
like it.
Political matters are beginning to warm
I'D little as the election dsy draws near.
Two weeks from to day is the day, and the
Republicans are becoming decidedly I'M
easy; there is something the matter with
their boom; they got it in too soon and it
has about died out now, and their candi,
dates are growing somewhat shaky. Both
candidates for State Senator have been here
looking over the ground. The candidates
for Representative are neither one paying
very much attention TO this side OF the
county, and have been here but q day or
two during all the campaign. The other
county candidates are hard at work, how
ever, and are busy as bees. Will Cash, who
has surprised even his most sanguine
frit nds by the amount OF work he can do,
and do thoroughly, is forever on the go
and is by far the best campaigner that ever
ran on either ticket in this coun.
ty. He is doing The county
in the most effective manner
and unless we are very much mistaken
his work will show up in good shape on
election day. Barrett and Jackson, the
candidates for auditor, and Feeley for
treasurer, were all in the city on Saturday,
and are busy looking to the details Of the
canvass There never was a time in the
history OF the party here when such good
feeling existed among the Democrats, and
there is every possible reason to believe
that the whole ticket will be elected. Let
every man but do his whole duty and vic
tory is ours.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A lad named Baker, who lives in this
c''y, met with very serious accident on
Saturday. He and some companions had
gone out into the country to gather wal
nuts, and Baker had climbed tree to shake
them down, when by some reason he
slipped and fell to the ground, and was
very seriously injured. His companions
ran into town and told his parents, and a
conveyance was sent out and the boy
brought home. The nature and extent Of
his injuries we could not learn.
