The Red Cloud chief., 1896-10-09

After he had hammered away for
tbout IN hour Boss Walsh gave him a
swift look and he subsidized, but not
until he had given tho audience to
understand that he was a great scholar
and had given them some points on
some eight or ten different branches of
study, including philosophy.
Boss Walsh sat near with ready
hands to start the cheering at the right
moment, but somehow the people
failed to respond. More especially was
this noticed when the Prof. was telling
them about the crime Of 70. Some Of
The poor ignorant people up here whom
this great man would teach wonder
why such a scholar as he il should
stick to the republican party and know
nothing Of the crime OF 13 until %
years a%ftcr~ard, and then have to be
told by Billy Bryan.
The Prof. is no doubt a smart man,
probably u good teacher in public
schools, certainly a gentleman, but AS
a public speaker he is the most hideous
failure that it has ever been the lot Of
The %lnavale people To hear, and the re-
publicans are only hoping that he will
be kept ut it until he turns every pop
vote to the republican side. Surprise
is everywhere manifested, however,
that a principal Of schools, a mar sup.
posed to be strictly nOn.partisan in his
teachings, should be going out into the
held and laboring for free silver and
reputation. 1t will be well for the
people OF Red Cloud who do not want
their children's minds polluted to look
well after this a Geo. McCrary had
better look out too, or he will not re.
ceive the nomination for county super.
intendent again with this man in the
field Of politics.
As soon as the Prof. sat down Mr..
Windy Jennings Vance Immediately
rose and turned himself loose on the
political question without yer as
much as saying, by your leave. He
made one or two rank statements tina,
were Immediately contradicted by old
republicans, but after recovering from
them he scared still higher and wider
waving his arms around remarked
"In 1902 the republicans put n plank
in their platform in favor of sympathy
for home rule in Ireland that pleased
me, later the democrats introduced 9
similar plank that pleased me, but nov
(here he grew very tragic)l am in favor
of home rule in this country" A
this point he gasped for breath, ant
Lou Olmstead who vas sitting quit,
near remarked quite audibly, "Yo,
forget you are married jim" ThiJ
was too much for James. He got $,
red that even his hair and whisker
turned red and he quietly sat dow
amid the applause that followed.
After the Bryan quartet had sang an
other sweet ditty they proceeded o OF
ganizc a Bryan club by electing Chas
Townsend, j. p. Hale andJ. W. Vanc
chairman; A, b. Ward, secretary, ant
II. ii. Holdredge, treasurer. Wn
Irons got disguised and left before tn
meeting was out, leaving only ten l.
join the Bryan club, five besides the OF
ticers They agreed to meet ever
Tuesday evening, Boss Walsh agreein
to send IL speaker, but they were care
full not to invite Prof. Wilson again.
As they closed Henry b. Simons pr,
posed three cheers for Bryan but h
could not say farther, Tor up here the
don't know whether they are for Sewa
or Watson. The cheers were faintl
given but were completely browne
out be cheers for Mckinley and tn
other crowd. BY Gosh.
