ering ut Gracey ut night, The Boyd
candidate failed to attend tho latter
appointment. Julien, Ncwstead, Ben
neitsiown and Lafayette have all been
visited and to-day Beverley and Gar
rettsburg will listen to the flow OF elo-
quence. Meyer have the people been
40 aroused. Even the old men are ON
hand and listen with eagerness TO the
plain facts OF fraud and corruption.
The whole county Is excited over the
approaching conflict. The women
aud children even are talking politics
and there will DO no cessation Of inter
est until victory is achieved in August.
The Republicans have virtually |
given up most of their ticket and are
concentrating oil their oporgies on the
election Of Anderson, Boyd and
Prowse. Morrow, West and Cowan
are proving equal to the emergency
and arc making new friends ut every
discussion. The unmanly dirt
Hinging attacks made upon the
latter gentleman have strength
ened him, as fair-minded men
everywhere deprecate the bring
ing OF tria:ng personalities into the
race. This was probably resorted to
In orcor to distract the attention Of
the public from the one great issue
upon which the "Big Four" has
been forced to go before the people.
In the Supefintendent's race Prof.
Froggo has bean marked as a winner
from tho first speech aud bis opponent
Is not eyOn meeting him except at
long intervals.
Taken altogether the outlook for
he last week is bright and hopeful.
