makes the following curious remarks:
Il have had occasion to observe some
infants Immediately on their births and
have found an astonishing resemblance
between their profile and those of their
father. A few days after this resem.
blance almost entirely disappeared The
influence Of the air and food and prob.

could have believed it different in

children die, one at 6 weeks and the
other at years Of age, and about
10 hours after their death they imme-

the profile of the dead child was, az
might be expected, more strongly
marked and more terse than that of the

situation and said: 1.-THE Republicans Of

Mr.. W. J. Bailey of Nemaha county

Subsequent events have proved that the

Populists guessed at it, and guessed
wrong. All that seems to be left for the
Populist and Democratic parties to do is
to find fault with the Republican party.
1t seems to me that you, my Populist

Curtis, BrOderick and Bailey,
One of Whom
Will Be the Next Republican
Nominee for Congress.
Address Large Mass Meeting Of Re-
publican Voters at the Old
Court House.

Charles Curtis, Case Broderick and w.
J. Bailey last evening addressed a big
Republican meeting in the old court house
building. The room was packed and it
was an enthusiastic audience. These
three gentlemen are all candidates for
congress from the new First district.
They were brought together for the
people to see and hear them, but they
made no reference whatever to their own
candidates.. ]. C. Slonecker was chair
man of the meeting. In opening it he
said: This meeting is called by the state
central committee. The Republicans of
Kansas and other parts of the country
meet now under more auspicious circum-
stances. What we promised has
son why every voter shouldn't t
vote for the Republican county ticket.
It is eminently better than the crazy
quilt ticket of the fusion forces. Many
of their meetings have been opened with
a corkscrew. But tonight we are here to
hear speeches by well known men. This
district now has two congressman. This
is an unusual thing, but it is made 50 by
the change in the district We have with
US three prospective congressman. With
out further introduction I will present
Mr.. Case Broderick.'
Mr.. Broderick, attired in neat fitting
Prince Albert suit, stepped forward and
said: Since the institution of civil gov
ernment there has been a difference of
thought which has resulted in political
parties. Originally the issue between the
parties was the tariff-the issue over
which many battles were fought in this
country. The Democrats wanted a tariff
for revenue only, while the Republicans
wanted a tariff for revenue and to pro-
tect American industries. Under the
Cleveland administration the Republicans
tried to keep the Democrats from reduc-
ing the tariff below the revenue figure,
but they did it, and you see what they did
mills shut down and men were thrown
out of employment. Now, instead of
taking up the newspaper and looking for
failures in business you turn to the mar
ket page and see how the country IS
prospering. The Republicans based their
theory that we should raise the revenue
and stop the issuance of bonds. An eX-
ira session was called and from that day
to this you have not heard any apprehen-
sion expressed about the gold reserve.
The gold reserve now is S54,000,O0O. Even
the opposition papers now cOncede that
there are 4.000O 600 men at work now who
were idle this time last year. That means

issued by the Populiszs. What has hap
pened? The stamp is put on state vouch-
ers Not paid for want of funds This
is the first time this has occurred in many
years. Yet the Populists issue book here
telling how they have saved the state
money. 1t is their fault, for they had
the house, the senate and the state Of
1cers and they didn't make the levy big
enough because they wanted to show how
economical they were. They state here
that they have saved the state money.
At the state penitentiary for the months
from February to September their ex-
penses were $1,000 more than for those
months of 1886. But they show that for
that time they have sold $40, 600 more con-
Wet coal than the Republicans did for
that time. There are 10000 miners in the
state 5000 voted last fall with the Popu-
lists. I think that when they hear about
this convict coal being sold in excess they
will want to buy one of Captain Curtis
kicking machines and whirl it rapidly.
I'm one of my campaign speeches I
spoke of the law of supply and demand
in the money question. A Populist said
to me, When we get in power if the law
of supply and demand interferes with US
we will repeal it GaUghter0 Honest
bimetallism will remain. You perhaps
know what the Cleveland administration

COLD AND HUNGER
lse a Riot in the Streets of Athens.

Cause a Riot in the Streets of Athens.
Brindisi. Italy Oct. "a dispatch
from Athens, which the censor there re
fused to allow the operators to send,
says that great excitement prevailed in
the Greek capital on Monday. Several
hundred volunteers, the message con-
tinues, invaded many of the shops of
that city and seized clothing and food.
The shOpkeepers resisted, some of them
using arms in so doing. This caused
panic.
All the shops in the town were hur
riedIy closed and. finally the rioters
were dispersed by strong patrols of
troops, who succeeded in arresting the
ring leaders. The rioters defended
their conduct on the ground that they
were cold and hungry.
