Normal Reunion.


The reunion of the normal students
was held last Thursday night at the
opera house. 1t was to have been held
at the court room, but on account of
the sickness of Mrs. Dobson, it went to
the opera house.
The programme was an unusually
interesting one, and each one taking
part reflected credit upon himself or
herself.
Almost at the close the entertain
ment, when Superintendent Landis had
announced that there was but one more
piece on the programme, Mr.. O. f.
Child arose, and in neat, short and
pointed speech, in behalf of the normal
school, presented Mr.. Lands with a
copy OF Gibbons Rome" and with a
gold pen. This very pleasant Interrupt
ton of the programme was highly ap
preciated by all present. Mr. Lands
is not easily upset, but he was consid-
erably Illustrated" but managed 70
express his gratitude in an appropriate
manner.
The following resolutions had been
prepared, and were presented, read and
unanimously adopted:

HALO WELLS LETTER.

News-BeacOn: when the voters of
Sedgwick county have soberly and fair
ly digested the contents of Mr.. Halo
wells letter, III which he makes sundry
peculiar announcements regarding his
prohibition friendships and resubmis-
sion enmities, the result will neither re-
fleet credit upon the republican candi-
date for congress nor give him the votes
OF men who admire consistency, firm
ness and honesty.
James X. IIallowell presided over
the Sedgwlck county republican con-
yention in this city last fall. There
was presented in that convention a res
olution advocating resubmission, which
was defeated by a slender majority
For that defeat and for the conven-
TONS prohibition reservations, the re-
publican ticket was buried, in strong
republican county, by an immense ma
jority, and Sedgwick county placed
fairly, by republican votes, in the dem
ocratic column, where it will stay.
Upon roll call upon this resolution,
James IL. Hallowell voted aye. He
cast his lot with the resubmission
movement, has been identified with it's
work and its personal associations, and
received i'll the convention which nom
mated him the enthusiastic support of
the men whom he now says in his letter
are his enemies.
After such record as this, after a
vote clear ana unequIvocal which is a
matter of record, as well as other move
ments which will be ventilated later,
Mr.. IIallowell dares to affront the hon
esty and truthfulness of the men of
this great Seventh district by vOicing
and signing his name to this notorious
untruth:
have stumped the state standing
squarely upon the prohibition plank in
every platform we have had. / HAVE

a scheme is on foot to have Mr..
Simpson challenge "Prince Hal.7' for a
series of debates. Mr.. Simpson was
seriously thinking of the ACCESSIBILITY of
doing so, but his Alliance friends at
Harper and other places have advised
him not to do so, because it is simply a
scheme to give Mr.. Hallowell chance
to talk to Alliance men. They will not
turn out to hear him, and some racket
must be worked to give him whack at
the farmers.

Washington Register: Down in

Knight Of Labor, heretofore red-hot
democrat. named j. A. Simpson. Heis

Dodge City was All appropriate name
for place in which to hold the late re-
publican congressional conven:ion
The platform adopted at that conven.
tion lodges around and tries to be ev.
erything. But everything in 1t that is
sound, was stolen from the alliance
platform. The clause exempting the
nominee from the rule of the caucus is
so ridiculous that it needs no comment.
Yet it was put there to deceive the
voters,

All the fuss about the discord at
Pratt is simply ''hog- wash" If it had
been necessary, Mr.. Simpson could have
been nominated on the first ballot.
Some of the strongest friends of Simp-
son were the men who fought hardest
against nomination or an endorse

If democrats are, we don't think any
body else has much reason to 60 into
mysteries.
