"Tho Columbus day services In the after
noon were turned luto reDu Dlican nesting,
with Judge Field to speak. This failed to
draw the crowd the result being that the
farmers all left for home and the attendance
at the meeting composed of boys, ladies' and
citizens was on actual count only ninety
eight. Judge Field scored the Independent
and democratic parties, MIR. Bryan getting
the best share of it. His remarks and recep
tion here were as COOL as the state of the
weather, which was anything but agree
ableD
Now, the facts are that this was adver-
tised as an afternoon republican meeting
and drew an immense crowd. Tue LARGEST
hall in the city was secured and seated
about 300 people, and the standing room was
all taken, there being at least ninety eight
Dy actual count unable to obtain seats in the
hall, and large NUMBER were unable TO get
in Us far the aute-room The meeting
was enthusiastic in every way, several
former independents occupying front seats
and vigorously applauding the utterances of

CREIGHTON, Neb., Oct. 25.-TSpecial to
The BEE. w. A. Poynter spoke to the
Independents yesterday on the promise of q
| large gathering, and to show there was no
hard feelings on the part OF the republican
business men Of the town, they contributed
| a fund and had the Santee Indian band here,
dressed in war paint, buckskin and feathers
as a drawing card, but all to no purpose, as
| there was no perceptibe difference in the
number of farmers in town from any ordi-
nary Monday Mr.. Poynter in very
| pleasant vein conceded that Nebraska was
prosperous, together with tho balance OF
| the United States. was thankful that he was
| an American citizen and claimed patent
| right on behalf of the Independent party to
| the expression "stand up for Nebraska
In the opening sentences of his effort he
| rather captivated the small audience, but
| when he mounted his calamity sulkey, with
| ball-bearng ana Pneumatic tires, he made
| even the very faithful weary. He scored on
the wonderful prosperity oil 1860, eulogized
| the reDu blicans dead and deDounceu the re-
| publlcans living. He wanted Iowa trans
portation rates, the free and unlimited coin
| age OF silver, and enough paper money tC
| make $50 per capita, and do the business
| of the country on cash basis
| He said the farmers of Nebraska were In
| debt on account OF the eXhorbltant freight
| rates, but admitted that the Iowa farmers
| were in debt worse than those of this state
In all his romancing he never mentioned the
| name of that eminent citizen, who, during
| the war, drew paw as amember of conRres:
| ana colonel at the same time, nnG has beer
"foraging on the enemyP every since.
