Badly Ratified.

Our Cedar street contemporary is
still in no end of trouble about its
uncalled fol and malicious attack upon
Mr.. Frey. It first stated he was i'm
ported into this country" FIVE or six
years ago. This lie was so apparent
to about half the county who knew
Mr.. Frey, that the News swallowed the
falsehOOd the following week. 1t next
stated that he had not taken out his
papers. By the next week it learned
that the records on file in the district
clerks Office showed that Mr.. Frey
took out his Erst papers in April 1882,
which entitled him to all the rights
and privileges of an American citizen
and that ever since that time he had
exercised the right by voting and being
elected to Office. Mr.. Frey, like the
democratic candidate for governor, Mr..
Boyd, did not think it necessary to
take out his final papers, but since the
Supreme court of Nebraska unseated
Mr.. Boyd because he had not his natur.
alization papers, Mr.. Frey, knowing
that he will be elected, has prevented
a contest by taking out his inal
papers.

The Wichita Beacon says that when
the farmers walk out of the peoples
party they walk into the democratic
party" Do you suppose that because
man has had enough of being singed
he is going to walk into the midst of
the fire? No, the farmers will go to
the only party that ever helped them,
the republicans.

When the column, headed by the grand

1t seems to be pretty difficult to get
the peoples party orators to discuss
political questions with republicans.
There was Simpson who wouldn't
meet Dawes, Willis who wouldn't
meet Bradford, Duohett who wouldn't
meet Johnson, McKeogan who wouldn't
meet Anthony, and. about a dozen
other skulkers who wonld not stand up
to the rack. We have yet to learn of
an alliance speaker who has been will
ing to hold joint discussion. They
know that their theories are not sub
stantial and are ashamed to defend
them before an audience with republi-
can speakers.

as strong wind blew in the faces of
the horses in the second half of the new
kite-shaped track. Experts predicted
that Sunol, who was to trot against the
record of 2:Os2( held by Maud s., could
not do better than equal her own record
of 2:1O1l in the face af such a wind.
She went to the quarter very fast max

grand finish in 2:1O, most remarkable
mile ever trotted under the circum-

Why They Won't Debate.

The reason the calamity hunters
refuse TO participate in joint discus
sions has just come to light. About
six weeks ago at n meeting of the ALI
ance State Central committee at Tope-
Ia the question of JOINT discussions
came up. After thorough discussion
of the matter the committee arrived at
the conclusion that considering the
great superiority of the republican
speakers and the evidences of general
prosperity throughout the state it
would be iDjudicious to hold joint dis
cnssions, and the committee pro.
nOunced an edict that no one in the
employ Of the committee should parti-
cipate in joint discussion this year.

The idiOtic zeal of the News in its
mistaken notion that personal vilifica-

is going to give James Frey the largest

easily be tempted to ignore party lines
in defense of unjustly assailed private
