the lowest depth Of political lnfamy

McNall has made a good insurance
commissioner, but it will be another
"Mc" who will represent this district
in the next congress)
The populst congressional Conven-
ton for this district has been called
to meet at Smith Center, June 7th.--

populists that Mccormick will be re-
nominated without opposition.
We note that our old friend Ike
Drummond, the Wandering Jew Of
journalism, who has been editing
paper at Beaver City, Oklahoma, for

BelleUille Freeman On Saturday
last the receivers sale Of the remain

Bank commenced at 1870. There
was q large crowd present and the
bidding was slow on most OF the

$292, being the bid OF j O Dawson,
making the purchase for j B Case Of
Abilene, who was present at the sale.
