AssARIA, Kan, Sept. 2Sd.-In
Smoky Valley news Of Sept, lath,
appeared q criticism on the citizens Of
AssariR, saying among other things,
that II It bad not been for the
Plumed Knights aud citizens Of
LIndsbOFg, the political meeting Of
John A. Anderson would have been
q tame affair. We think that Hon.
John a. AndersOn's speech would
have been fully ~ good had the
Plumed Knights Of IsiRdsborg never
been organized, let alone coming to
Assaria, aud for the more 50, had the
Plumed Knights not come, our
speaker, John. A. Anderson, would
not have been disturbed IN the midst
Of his speech, and our citizens would
have occupied the comfortable seats
In the school house. It also claims
that their coming here was q surprise
to the AsBarians, and alsOrthat they
were hungry and did not get any
thing to eat. How could the citizens
Of Assaria be prepared to set q table
for q dozen men coming 10 surprise
them at 8 o'clock IN the evening
We Of course expected that q city like
LindsbOFg was able to find its citizens
at the proper time, and we think that
n the pluunod Knf0hfa ~ TNndebo-,-
travel three hours between LlndsbOrg
and Assaria, Il IL no wonder they
could not get here before the meeting
commenced. Was Il not for the |
Plumed Knights Of LlndsbOrg. the
city certainly could not exist. Pity
for the citizens Of AssaFia, IL they
have to learn manners Of the d. B. Of !
CITIZENS or AssARIA.
