big turn out. Aullville did grandly she had
the largest club at the grounds led by that
gallant old veteran of two wars, w. Boone
Major. They came In, in double column,
dressed In bandana suits, both men and
! women. AS they came with steady tramp it
made one think Of the serried ranks OF sad
der days, when brother met brother in battle

used in this kindly struggle for supremacy.

OF Kansas City. was on hand and gave utter
ance to sound democratic gospel. Our gallant
standard bearer, j. g. TaIsney, who reminds
one so much Of our loved and departed
Shields, was also here with his charming
wife, and met the sophisms Of our political

hours length, and last, though not least, was
our next governor, that progressive young
democrat, David X. Francis. Some of US,
