alton day EXERCISES a success. The demo
rats are not only failing to express any
appreciation, but enE theeother hand are
tctually complaining that the republicans
ia not do more 20 make the day a success.
A visitor from Oklahoma In talking to a
prominent republican said:
You people here do not appreciate Mr..
{sryan. or you did you would have decor
! tied your stores better. and you would
lave done more to make the day a memoir
uble one"
The story vas told around town and
iaturally It has MADE the republicans indig-
rant. The republicans predominant In this
own and county and they did take an &C
i've part in the exercises OF notification
lay. They decorated their places of busi-
less and turned out in large numbers to
Lttend the proceedings. Their town pride
,aused them to do this as much as their de-
lire to pay respect 10 a distinguished citi-
zen. z ~ #D
The notification was the fifth occasion
n Lincoln in which the republicans here
lave paid honor to Mr. Bryan in sixteen
years. When he was elected to congress,
when he was twice before nominated for
he presidency and when he returned from
lis trip abroad.
In return for all this the. republicans Of
o. lincoln we're compelled to stand in the hot
' un and hear Mr.. Bryan on his notification
lay. abuse the candidate Of the republican
party for president AMI" the things he
stands for; they read of him going 70 the
lome Of the martyred president, William
Mckinley, and appealing for votes, and de-
lounce republican principles; they heard
' lin charge the republicans with adopting
4 platform of deception, which their own
INtAlA Quot
sheldon (who is here during his term of
,ffice) and other prominent men of the
state helped to formulate.
The republicans Of Lincoln believe they
1--WE very little to Mr.. Bryan. The debt is
coming the other way. That his friends
should ~criticise them is past their under
standing.
Taft-Omaha Day at state Fair.
Thursday, September 3. is to be Taft
Omaha day at the state fair, and the
good people of Lincoln, which means
everybody in the city. are going to show
the people from the Big Muddy town a
good time. While some Of the Lincoln
ties may wear gloves on that day, there
will he no cockleburs concealed therein,
but the glad hand will be soft and vel
vety and the shake will have the true
4 ring to 1t. Those of the capital city
who attended the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
' several weeks ago have not forgot the
good time the Omaha bunch showed them
and they intend to take 1t upon Them
selves to act host for the day.
Lincoln's streets will be lighted for the
occasion as brilliantly as the streets of
Omaha during Ak-Sar-Ben. This light
Ing will not interfere either with the
pleasures of the evening, for they close
a Z o'clock, anyhow. The fun will be on
the fair grounds that night. It might
be possible Mayor Jim will be asked to
ride the Bryan trick mule a sa feature
> of the day. Lincoln expects a big crowd
from Omaha and so does the state fair
management. Colonel James Walsh of
Omaha Is especially invited to appear on
this occasion. because he fathered the
' SIS, 900 appropriation bill for the fair.

( Funk. Ed slade, Jack Matthews and Cap
