II is currently reported that Mr.: New
horn. the Farmers Alliance candidate Tor
Congress from this district. is kepubll-
can. 1t has been charged In print that he
voted for Harrison for President. These
reports have tendency to make things
unsteady among the members of the ALL

The postponement of the nomination of
county officers in this county until the LIST
