From the Chronicle of June 5:
sIf Mr.. Smith wants the entire
support Of this county he must
separate himself absolutely and. en-
tirely from the Abilene REFLECTOR. :"
From the Chronicle of June Is:
s.The Chronicle favors the candi-
dacy Of Judge r. R. Rees Of Minne-
apolis for the Republican nomination
for congress from this district.
"When Mr.. Smith became candi-
date he issued platform statement
which at the time was given the
Chronicle endorsement and at the
present meets with our approval.
This paper was at that time pleased
with his candidacy and it would sup
port Mr.. Smith to the end if there was
any reasonable chance that such sup
port would accomplish anything for
the general good.
considerable inquiry and careful
observation of the|conditions in the
districts lead the Chronicle to believe
that Mr.. Smith has not even the re-
motest chance of winning the nomina-
tion.
dickinson county would very
naturally like to have congressman
but the securing of one at this time is
simply out of the question. Mr..
Smith cannot win the nomination"
The meeting opened by state
ment from MIR. Smith in substance as
follow:

date for congress some eighteen
months ago, / desired first the un-
divided and unqualified support Of
my home county went first to the
two Republican papers and solicited
their approval. P. W. Heath, the
manager of the Chronicle, assured me
that my candidacy had his approval

nomination was made, that would

expression ! announced, and until

not until it was seen that / was going

RESOLVED, That we, the Re-
publican voters Of the city of Abi-
lene, in Dickinson county, state of
Kansas, voicing the sentiments of
practically all of the Republican
electors Of this county, feel an in
dignation which it would not be
proper to express in words
at the action OF the Abilene
Chronicle in transferring its sup
port from Hon. S. S. Smith
to Judge R. R. Rees. All those
who are. acquainted with the facts
well know that its support can
neither add nor take from the
strength of Mr., Smiths candidacy;
and we adopt and publish these
resolutions for the benefit of the
electors of the district who might
be deceived from want OF khowl-
edge, and hereby express and con-
firm our allegiance TO Mr.. Smith,
not only for the reason that he is a
citizen of Dickinson county, but
for the further reason that we be-
lieye him to be the best qualified of
The candidates seeking nomination.
We wish to further say that we
are firmly confident that the action
Of the Chronicle at this time in
transferring its support from Mr..
Smith to Judge Rees is not
prompted by the hypocritical
pretence that it does not believe
that Mr.. Smith can be nominated,
but that it is actuated by sordid
and dishonest motives.
Regretting the necessity for such
action, we, nevertheless, feel it our
duty to the voters of the Fifth Con-
gressional District to expose the
hypocricy Of the Chronicle, to re-
buke its action and express the be-
lief Of all the Republican electors
of Dickinson county with the pos
sible exception Of half dozen vot-
ers) that the Chronicle is without
influence, does not represent the
sentiments Of the Republicans Of
this county, and that having given
Mr.. Smith its support for more
than year. it is induced at this
time in transferring its allegiance
to Judge Rees by motives which
are dishonorable.
RESOLVED, That the report be-
ing industriously circulated by
two or three of be friends of Judge
Rees that Mr.. Smith is running
in the interest of Calderhead is
wilful, deliberate and malicious
falsehood, and II Mr.. Calderhead
should be nominated it will be be-
cause Mr.. Rees "butted" into the
race after Mr.. Smith had created a
sentiment and organized the op-
position in the district to Mr.. Cald-
erhead at least six months before
Judge Rees was ever thought Of.

FINE AFFAIR
Was The X. of P. Doings
Wednesday Evening.

About seventy couples assembled on
Invitation at the Turf Hall Wednes
day evening to witness the public
installation Of the newly elected Off
GERS of Ely Lodge No. l73. Knights of
Pythias. The Turf Hall was chosen
as the lodge room was figured mad
equate to accommodate the guests for
the installation and accompanying
festivities.
At promptly nine o'clock, Gran d
Chancellor Commander f. l.. Young
of Duluth began the installation
ceremonies. He was assisted by j, IT.
Davies of Duluth as grand warden
and Henry Chinn as grand prelate.
The ceremony was very impressive
and the following officers were placed
in their respective positions:

After the ceremony, G.. G. G. Young
made an address and in a highly in.
teresting manner gave history of
Pythianism from the time that the
first events leading up to the organi.
cotton of this order took place. An.
cient history is most interesting
subject especially when it is ably Civ
en- as was the recital by Mr. Young.
The newly installed Chancellor Com
mander, G, T. Ayres, also spoke few
words, at the conclusion of his able
remarks announcing that the floor
would be cleared and dancing be the
order.
The first strains Of Gregory's Or.
chestra of four pieces of Duluth, filled
the floor to the standing room only,
point and dancing was somewhat OF
an intricate undertaking. However
the crowd was jolly and such little
matters as a packed floor did not
prevent it from enjoying every min.
ute of the time. AT 1880 supper was
announced and part of the dangers
adjourned to the lodge rooms
when an elegant turkey supper wa.
served. After the inner man haC
been satiated, the hall was agar
sought and the dance went on unit

as prompter did much to keep the
crowd In an uproar much of the time

Country Press andCity Daily

Says the Red Lake Falls Gazette,
referring to the fact that certain
Minnesota daiies have cut off til.
Lime-honoIed courtesy of eXchang'
with the country newspapers: "The
only newspaper which has not joined
in this agreement is The Duluth Her
aid, in many respects the best and
greatest daily in the state, The Her.
aid is not willing to sever its paterna'
relations with the country newspapers
in order to save few dollars, and III
the end we doubt not that The Her
aid will find the friendship of the
country boys a valuable asset"
All of which is acknowledged with
deep appreciation and gratitude for
its pleasant comments on this news
papers standing. Just one correction
The Herald would make: its relations
with the country press are not pa
ternal. but fraternal, and such it
hopes they may ever remain.
And as to whether or not The Her.
aid will find sin the end" that the
Friendship Of the country boys is a
valuable asset" itshould be said righ
here and now that it always has been
a valuable asset. More than that, it
always has been source of great sat-
isfaction and pleasure to this news
paper to know that it had the friend
ship of the county press; and that
knowledge is itself a greater thing
than an asset"
Yet an asset the relationship bet
ween The Herald and the country
press certainly is. The country press
reflects public sentiment far more
accurately. as rule, than does the
city press. This is natural, and MOI
entirely due to the fact that many
city papers are more or less circum
scribed by the relations of their own
ners with selfish interests. The
country editor knows his community
far better than the city editor can
possibly know his. Therefore, the re-
Elections of the country press, as COM
piled daily on this page of The Herald
under the head of minnesota Opin-
IONS" furnish valuable insight into
the current of thought among the
people of the state. In this way, as it
enables The Herald to provide it's
readers with mirror of public opinion
in the state which reflects the play of
sentiment and the changing and pros
crossing views of an enlightened peo-
pie, the visit of these newspapers each
week becomes valuable asset, val
liable not only to The Herald but to
its readers.
For these reasons, and because it
enjoys its relations with the country
press and finds them profitable, with
the advantage by no means all on one
side. The Herald will try and worry
along awhile longer on the old basis Of
exchange. What the greedy paper
trust will force the newspapers to do
in the end. no man can say, but so
long as the trust will let it, The Her
aid will continue to exchange with
those country weeklies whose apt and
pertinent and timely comments on
Minnesota progress and politics it
has always found so profitable and
entertaining.- Herald.
