During last week Judge Lochren Of
the federal court heard the suit of ex-
County Attorney Frank NJ. Nye against
the Western Union Telegraph company
for $50, 900 damages for carrying tele-
gram, in the regular course of business,
in which the charge was made that Nye
sold out, in the campaign of 1896. when
he had been an ardent silver man. The
defense brought out with cor siderable

that matter. The writer says:
IF you could see how comfortable
the states wards are housed and appear
since brought here, and hear, what
have heard regarding their improved
condition, you would feel like com
mending Governor ind's course as

on which the Republicans will rely il
the coming election, was well shown a
the antitrust conference, in a repor
made on the extent to which individual

country at 600, with capital stock, wat

This power will largely be at the com
mand of the trust : party
Added to these are thousand
