No Excuse Now.

In past years it was common thing for
Republican candidates in Carroll to solicit
votes on account of poverty and the need of
the salary of office. That cannot be done in
this campaign. Every Republican now says
the country is prosperous and the tide is still
rising, and no candidate can preach prosper
ity in one breath and plead poverty in the
next. The Republican that is not prosperous
now, when the whole country is booming, y
would scarcely be good man for public

Senator Teller, of Colorado, is opposed to
a union of the Silver and Mckinley Republi-
cans in that state. He says it is the purpose
of the Mckinley Administration to retire
greenbacks and treasury notes, let the banks
issue paper money, which will not be legal
tender, leaving gold as the only money by
which debts can be paid.

tanned a spicy article in regard to the ban
ner which has been awarded to company NJ
of that city for two years for excellence in
drill. The impression given was that the
Burlington boys were hot under the collar
because the banner was not presented to
them this year, and evidence was given to
show that company NJ took the highest
ranh this year. The News said that it was
reported that Capt. Brownell had resigned.
The simple fact is that the banner was not
in competition this year, and therefore was
not awarded That there was no compe-
tition was due to a misunderstanding be-
tween Capt Tutherly and Lieut.. Hovey,
the regular army officers stationed in Yer

tition in previous years
