sitnation I'd McPheraon.

Mcpherson, Oct. 26.-This county has
been the scene for several years of an
uninterrupted war between A. w. Smith
and J. M. Simpson which has not tended
towards the advancement of the party s
interest here. Hostilities are not sus-
pended, and PopuIsts claim it will aid
them to a local victory.
On the other hand Frank Nelson, the
candidate for state superintendent, lives
in the northern part of the county
among his people, the Swedes, and upon
Nelson's popularity, and the strength OF
his supporters the Republicans base
their hope and claims of a majority OF
200 at the approaching election.

Have you made any calculation as to
what the next house will be ?"
