THE KENTUCKY ELECTION
AULD LANG SYNE.
Dakota Delegate Johnson Brings it tc
Mind and Insults Senator Reagan.

BISMARCK, n. d., August 5.-Saturday
night session of the convention was passed
in discussion of the proposition giving
legislature power to fix passenger and
freight rates and to regulate the charge
on sleeping cars, express, telephone and
telegraph companies. The committee of
the whole adopted the proposition.
The only business transacted this after
noon was meeting the senate commission
on irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands. The convention then was address,
ed by Senator Stewart of Nevada, the
chairman of the committee, who at the
close of his remarks on irrigation took oc-
casion to get in his best ticks on the silver
question. He was followed by Senator
Reagan, of Texas, who addressed the
convention in favor of irrigation.
Somewhat of an unpleasant sensation
was occasioned by Delegate
johnson, of Nelson county, who
has won an unenviable reputation
for making bad breaks. During the re-
marks of Senators Reagan and Stewart on
the silver question they inadvertently re-
ferred to the war debt. Johnson rose at
the close of Reagan's speech and proceeded
to take Reagan TO task by saying that if
he read history right the Senator from
Texas was in jeff Davis cabinet when the

HARVEST EXCURSION RATES.

CHICAGO, August 5.-The Chicago tick
ct scalpers are quoting a SIS rate to Den
yer to be in force only tomorrow. The
regular fare is one fare for round trip TO
all points in the west, southwest and
northwest. but only round trip tickets are
sold. AS the regular rate to Denver is S.'6,
the round trip excursions are sold at that
figure, making one-half fare. The scalp
ers have bought up a large number of
these tickets and are manipulating them.
For example. man is sold a round trip
Denver ticket for SIG and receives rebate
order on Denver scalper for 81 for the
return portion OF the ticket. This
makes the one way rate SIS and the
return portion is put up on the Denver
market to be sold at profit to the scalper,
though at less than the regular rate. The
first of series of harvest excursions for
this year by all the roads leading west
from Chicago occurs tomorrow. 1t is ex-
pected passenger rates throughout the
west will be demoralZed by these harvest
excursions tickets and the scalpers will
reap the benefit
