Egan went down to Yankton,
the home town Of Governor Nc
Master, and abused him before ms
neighbors There and at other
places over the state he propound-
ed some twenty-seven questions
that would ask the Governor it
he were here tonight. Well, he
had the Governor with him at 500
Falls. Did he ask his questions!
We challenge his supporters te
take the stenographic report OF
the debate and point out the ques-
tions Egan has been clamorlne foi
aschance to ask the Governor. The
fact is that those questions are SC
fiimsey, and Governor McMastel
was loaded with answers. After al
his palavcr Egan did not dare t.
ask them.
