Political Pot BofIs,

DAVID CITY, Neb June 23.-(Special) y
The political pot in the fusion ranks in
Butler county has passed the sizzle point
and commenced to boil and is liable to boil
over and land the democratic contingent
outside OF the fusion ring. The populsts
are declaring that the democrats are
not entitled to anything. The sn-called
free silver republican wart on the fusion
animal is so insignificantly small that 1t
amounts to nothing. Butler county has
more standing candidates to save the dear
people than all the other counties in the
Fifth judicial district combined, and it Is
safe to say that the greater majority of the
delegates to the fusion judicial convention
Will be candidates. The court house gang
all want denomination, and they are
meeting with opposition. Some of the faith
full who have never been rewarded with
even supervisor of country road district
are kicking over the traces and swear 1t
is time some others were given a pull at
the public teat While the fight is going
on in the fusion ranks the republicans are
saying nothing, but saving wood. Hon. S..
H. Sedgwick, district Judge will have the
solid support of the republicans of Butler
county for a denomination.
