but for the low scores dealers were un-
usually willing 10 accept most any rea-
sonable bid, while the car market was
generally quiet little better demand
was manifest for 90 score cars. Cars
OF $3.50 score were offered at the cur

buyers. The weaker feeling Of the mar
kct this week Is making it impossible
to move the same quantities OF short
held and storage butter. Buyers now
have n larger choice OF fresh offerings
at rnre attractive prices.

hard worker. and vigorously seconded
by an energetic lieutenant, young
man named Grist. These, and others
they had been able to draw to their
faction, were bitterly and eagerly OPP
posed to Beasley's nomination, and
worked without ceasing to prevent it.
/ quote the invaluable MI DOwden
again: "Grist's against us because he
had quarrel with clerk In Beasley's
office, and wanted Beasley to dis
charge him, and Beasley wouldn't;
Sim Peck's against us out Of just plain
wrongheadedness, and because he new
er was for anything nor fer anybody
In his life. I had talk with the old
mutton-head the other day; he said our
candidate ought to be farmer, man
of the common people, and when /
asked him where he'd find anybody
more a man of the common people
than Beasley, he said Beasley was too

was too much for me, and laughed

course, that made Sam twice as mad
as he started out to be; and he went
off swearing he'd show me, before the
campaign was over. The only trouble
he and Grist and that crowd could give
us would be by finding out something
against Dave, and they can't do that
because there isn't anything to find
out"
I shared his confidence on this lat
ter score, but was somewhat less SAN
guine on some others, There were only
two newspapers Of any political In
I fuence In Wainwright. the Despatch
and the Journal, both operated In
the interest of Beasley's party, and
neither had "come OUT for him. The
gossip / heard about our Office led me
to think that each was waiting to see
what Roadway Sim Peck and his fac
! ton would make; the Journal espe-
cially, I knew, had some inclination to
coquette with Peck, Grist and Com
pany. Altogether, their faction was
not entirely to be despised.
THUS. my thoughts were great deal

than with the holiday spirit that now,
with furs and bells and wreathing

over the town. SO little, indeed, had
this spirit touched me, that, one eve
