A very complimentary audience
greeted Prof. Willcutt at Greeley Cen.
ter last Thursday night. The professor
propounded sound protective doctrine
for nearly two hours, and his argument
Is said to be a clincher. The professor

views, and Is always able to define his
opinions.

The farmers alliance Of Crawford
county captured the republican con.
yention last Saturday, and passed reso.
lutions In favor Of tho renomin.
alton of tho present railroad

other conventions have made. II dem.

Our Gray correspondent gives good
report of the republican rally Mt that
place last Saturday night. The enter
prising little city was ablaze with bon.
fires and enthusiasm and the republi.
cans are TO be congratulated upon their
first gun. They spread the protection
idea on their transparencies and In
their speeches, so that all present at
that meeting will make no mistake on
the main issue. The speeches were all
good, but George Gray, the father OF
that town, happily surprised his friends
by the manner In which he appeared on
the stump. For three quarters Of an
hour he propounded sound doctrines
with ready eloquence which interested
and edited his hearers.
DIR, Brigham says that the female
band Of Audubon is the crack band Of
the state, and wants the management
Of the fair association to engage their
services to play up here during the fair.
--Manning Monitor.
II is indeed deplorable that Manning
cannot secure Audubon's chief attrac-
ton for her fair; but the fact Is the
ladies band will play here during fair
week, and as tho dates Of the two exhi.
billions conflict, our neighbors must be
deprived Of this musical luxury. Man
ning's covetousness Is unssemly. How.
ever, II DR.. Brigham and other special
admirers will honor our exhibition with
their presence they shall have front
seat In the new amphitheater and all
the neighborly courtesies of the season.
