Pembina Pioneer Express: Alexan-
der Mckenzie has given notice that
he is not a candidate for reelection
as national committeeman from this
state. The motives of this act will
be variously attributed according to
the friendship of the critic. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie himself gives no reason but
says the action Is irrevocable. While
Mr. Mckenzie has made some errors
in his conceded position as the poll
teal leader Of the republican party in
this state, even his most bitter enc
mics will eoncede that it will be diff.
cult to find man of equal ability to
take his place. Personally we are in
clined to the belief that Mr.. McKen
zie's declination is made from the best
OF motives and from sincere desire
to place the success of the party above
his own personal ambition. Right!
or wrongly, there has been created :
strong prejudice against him, ant
there is little doubt that his retire
ment will help the party, provided hi
place is properly filed, and that 9th
'ers will be as willing to get into thu
background and thus heal old sores

A Challenge.

Ed M. Kafer, manager for Billy
Sherrard, called at the Tribune office
last night and stated that he under
stood there had been some talk to
the effect that the recent wrestling
matches had not been on the square.
This Mr.. Kafer vigorously denies and
states on behalf OF Sherrard that as
an EARNEST a1 good faith ha ia willing
to meet anyone in the country of from
1873 to 142 pounds for a reasonable
side bet and the entire gate receipts
He further invites those who think
things have been fixed in the pre-
vious matches to bring on any man
between 1873 and LAP pounds and their
money will be promptly covered and
a match arranged. Mr.. Kafer says
he is ready at any time to post the
money with the Tribune, and the
sooner the kickers get action and
bring on a good man the better Sher-
rard and he will be satisfied. This
certainly gives everybody a chance to
make some money and at the same
time see a good wrestling match that
everybody ought to be satisfied with.
