NORDlN'S CIRCUS,
1t Exhibits Once More to a Very Small
Audience.

Nordin's show at Pfeifer hall last evening
was very SHINY attended, only about forty
persons being present. He opened the ex-
ercises by stating that he had been up in Ig-
natius Donnelly's district, and with his usual
frankness admitted that he had hard time
up there. The sparseness of the audience,
all of whom held picture papers and chromos
in their hands furnished at the door, he at
tributed to the caloric in the atmosphere
rather than to a lack of interest in the side
show.
G. W. NJ. Pittman, of Minneapolis, didn't
relish speaking to empty chairs. He couldn't
see why the Democratic party wouldn't stay
buried, and proceeded to tell several
funeral anecdotes relating to men and
dogs illustrative of how it was
Job this fall. Every one who voted for st.
John, Butler and Belva Lockwood gave their
vote for nothing. No one ever drank whisky
in the Republican party and the Democrats
alone consumed all this article, both home
made or imported. In turn he took back and
front holds of records ''tariff," 'eivil
service" and wrestled with old issues until
he grew mouldy. Several times he waved
the bloody shirt so as 10 bring out Nordin's
weather-beaten phiz in told relief by the re-
Fiction. He was in favor Of giving every
other acre of the public lands to the rail-
roads, but forgot to add ''if they would make
their terminus in Minneapolis" He added
a new word 10 the English language by stat
ing that the Republican party developed the
mentality of the country and had bred
statesmen in the past twenty years with
the fecundity of English sparrOws. The
Republican party must remain in power I'M
i'll all the men in the south engaged in the
war were dead and gone, and two or three
generations after them, he wasn't exactly
clear about just how many. He closed with
an argument for Capitalization and continu-
snee of one party power that would have won
applause from Bismarck and made the car
OF the Russias forget for a moment that there
ever was any such a thing as a dynamite
bomb.
T. T. Fountleroy was then introduced, who
aired himself for fun hour and a half,
mostly on the state Of affairs in sod Vir-
ginny.r from whence he hailed. Some of
the BOYS who were admiring the long stretch
OF eloquence, unkindly said that he was an
attache OF County Attorney Egan's law
office, and up to a few DAYS had been valiant
for Cleyeland and Hendricks. II this
was so ne talked bloody shirt
well for an iRtGHs Republican Of one weeks
age. Unlike his predecessor, he msde a
passing allusion to the "Mulligan letters, -
but even with his wealth of lungs. didn't
/ dare stop to discuss them. Among the bril-
liant Demosthenic flights such utterances as
| ''yuu bet your boots" found place giving a
zest to his remarks after the same character
that summer ssvory appetiLes the stuffing
Of q white fish. There was nothing that he
! did not discuss, having three large
scrap books to support his memory, aud
/ coming from ''oId Virginny" Il wss a pits
that Nordin's colored glee club was no
present to top out his big stock Of words
When he concluded it vas eleven O'Clock
/ and a hot night
