The Republican Defeat the Result of In

the people are most intelligent and
where the tariff issue was most thor

mony upon this point. The Congress
sional district in which that city is sit
uated elected Judge Joseph r. Reed
two years ago, before he had voted for
the Mckinley bill, by large majority,
and defeated him a fortnight ago,
after and because he had voted for
that bill. In discussing his defeat.
the Nonpareil says: LAS the returns
near completion and the. result both
locally and at large is known, the ma
ture and cause of Judge Reeds defeat
becomes clear. His defeat was in no
sense personal; it was but a working
out in this district of the same causes
that operated to effect the most over
whelming defeat the Republican party
has ever known. The late election was
political revolution; it is sharply ac-
centuated in Judge Reeds district be-
cause it is peculiarly district of intel.

on a visit to some of his relatives
There was no discount on him as "a
marvel of strength and the wood-cut
which pictured him throwing a bull over
a SiX-rail fence was not much of an eX-
aggeration. AS soon as it was discovered
that he had no particular scruples
against the flowing bowl, the boys set
out to have little fun Early in the
forenoon of circus day an alleged circus
man waited on 1.-The great Western
giant" and intimated that he was
fraud from way back. and that his mar
velous feats of muscle were tricks and
delusions- This had the effect we hoped
for, and four or five glasses of beer did
the rest.
Soon after noon the strong man sailed
down to the circus grounds to demand
an apology The people had begun
buying tickets, and the circus officials
were too busy to talk. The way they
ignored his presence made the strong
man madden than ever, and he started
for the entrance. The two men sta
toned there tried to prevent his in
gress, but ne threw one into farmer S
| wagon and the other over lemonade
stand and entered the tent Six of the
circus men now rallied on the center,
but the struggle didn't last two minutes.
He flung them along and aloft as if
playing with the clubs
| t.Hey, Rubber sounded the tocsin,
and every single man connected with

came with clubs, neck-yokes and wagon
stakes the strong man looked about for
some weapon. There was a long-tailed
bulldog lying under the sacred cows
cage, and he grabbed him by the tail
and widened the circle and finally broke
through it, smashing every man who
| opposed him. When clear of the circle
he pushed a baby elephant off her legs,
upset candy wagon, tore down sec
| ton of seats about forty feet long, and
| appeared outside to exclaim:
''A1l fraud and delusion, is it?
Haven't any moral right to my title, eh?
Well. mebbe haven't, but guess this
