Everything seems to v getting along smoothly. Hackett is managing the Red Fox in a lively manner, and keeps him in a.hole most of the time. They say McGhinnis is making good speeches. Brer Somers doesn't say much. He announces that he is a candi date and is for the gold stand ard, and sits down. The oth candidates talk as much asx they please, and though they talk a little 4 'sassy" sometimes, there's been no blood shed nor any prospects of it. There are plenty of candidates' in the field, and they all seem to want to be elected. Everybody a grees that the last proposition is strictly true. McNeil and Barker, the Republican-Populist candidates for the Senate, are with the county candidates this week. They were in Lincoln last week. Everybody ought to hear the county candidates. They say Sheriff Call has won the compliment of being the most energetic and loudest speaker in the crowd. Later Mr Barker returned to Lincoln the first of the week. The Darkey Downed Tommy. The Sentinel this on Tommy Settle, which sizes up the 53 cent dollar business pretty well: "Republican speakers are fond of talking about 9 .53 cent dollar. You never hear a speech without it is dwelt on at length. "It is told on Tom Settle that he made a speech the other day, devoting the ussual time to - the subject. After the speaking an old colored- man hitched up his horse for him and Mr. Settle asked him how much he owed him. "Ten cents", I recon,' aid the darkey, whereupon Settle handed him a silver dollar, tell ing him to get it changed. The old fellow went off and soon came backwith 43 cents which he tendered the nominee. " 'How's this?' he inquired; fyou charged me ten .cents; . I gave you a dollar and you hand me back 43 cents.' ' " 'Well, you see, boss, you said as how de silver dollah is only wuf 53 cents; if dats so you has de right change seer' "Mr. Settle 'saw' and had no more argument."
