What They Think of Him.

The following from the republican
papers of the district show how the
nomination of Mr.. Reeder is received
by the editors. The platform says of
him:
"We approve of the earnestness,
zeal and industry which has marked
the career of Hon. w. A. Reeder in
serving his constituents in all matters
to which his attention has been called
or which his knowledge of the de-
sires, wishes and wants of the people
have prompted and we pledge him
our united support in the candidacy
for reelection upon which he has
entered"
Hon. w. A. Reeder was renomina-
ted at Hays City on Tuesday. This
Is as it should be. He is entitled to
that honor as much as many another
officer of the district. He has been a
faithful worker, and if he does not
get the impression that he is a great
orator will give perfect satisfaction to
his constItuents.-Norto Courier.
We have read Mr.. Readers speech
aud will say that the only point he
made might be aptly applied to him
self, in his roll of representative of a
superior intelligence enjoying super
ier advantages. He failed sadly to
prove that the circumstances under
which he has lived endowed him with
the capacity of showing as good
good Judgment as his self-advertised
honesty. manlIness and ability, en-
title his constituents to expect of him.
Had Mr.. Readers effort been made
for the purpose of maintaining the
reputation of the sixth district for
producing freak congressman, he
could not have better succeeded
