duty was TO have at once cited Spry
for contempt and meted out 10 him the
punishment duo 70 his extraordinary
and brazen offeuso. That Judge How
ell understood this TO be his duty is
plain from the statement he made at
that time, wherein he threatened TO
arraign both Spry and Breeder for the
contempt they had committed. The
fact shat he did not so arraign them
shows either such a weakness in his

or it shows that he himself was q party

mitted upon his court. In either case
he is not fit man 10 be Judge Of

body was referred to who could be
identified as connected by kimball with
any Of these matters, those persons
have emphatically and peremptorily de-
nied his story and pronounced him as
wholly lacking in truth in telling it,
base and spectacular liar.
However, Kimball is the protege Of
Spry, aud Spry 10 bound to take caro-
of him. The presumption is that Kim
ball would not have given out any such
story except in consultation with
Spry, and with his permission. So that
tho only responsible connection TO
which those Kimball stories can be
traced is that Spry connection. He Is
the man, undoubtedly, from whom and
by whose permission those klmDall
stories reached the public. And these
stories, together with Spry's discharge
of the old soldier to make room for Sol
Kimball, are not going to help Spry in
tho least in his gubernatorial caudl'
dacy this year.

AMERICAN PARADE TONIGHT.

1t was a telling stroke which the
American party delivered when its
committees determined 10 have 4 mon
stcr parade tonight instead OF the usual
campaign meetings or rallies. These
| will all be superseded by the splendid,
! enthusiastic parade that is 10 be had

Lake City.
The preparations for this parade arc
now practically complete The indica-
tions are for finc weather. Everything
is in the Americans favor, aud The
parade will. excel everything Of the
kind ever seen here.
The occasion is timely. 1t is the
close OF warm, vigorous campaign,
which has stirred Up the people as they
have not been stirred heretofore. Some
opportunity was necessary TO afford the
people chance to give vent to their
feeling of confidence aud enthusiasm.
That occasion is offered in tonight g
parade. The evening is well selected,
with a view Of giving the greatest op.
portunity for all to take part. The
week s work is done, and a day of rest
is at hand. So that all are free to Join

finish.
All who believe in the rescue of the
county from the hands of the clumsy
grafters and incompetcnts who have so
long imposed upon the people and NAL
administered their county business; all
who believe in the control of politics
and civil affairs by the people in their
own interests and for their own bene.
