INSULTED THE OLD FLAG. npelled to Call the Time, Union Veterans Alhance t Love City, Neb, Oct. 25.-~[Special Tole- gram Tie Bee.)—S. P. Holcomb and W. H. Dech addressed a small audience of independents, composed mostly of wome: and children, here today, They had adv tised for & big blow outand had a grand stroet parade, headed by the Loup City band, followed by a string of wagons containing twenty-three voters and apout seventy-five women and children, The feature of the day was the running up of the American flag, stars down, by R. Taylor, the local allia eper. The tizens took this as an insult to the flag and sent a committee of two to have it either taken down or put up right, giving him one hour to change it. Three-quarters of an hour passed, when the sov of an old soldier climbed the ladder and pulled it down and pulled it up again in the proper mauner. ce sto Edgerton at Minde Mispey, Neb, Oct. 28.—Special Tele- gram to Tie Bre—The great Edgerton meeting was neld this afternoon as hud been announcod for the past two weeks, and as a political rally was as complete a failare could be without being a total oue. Ka ton was here and made his spoech to an audience composed of sixty independents, forty-six republicans, sixteen democrats and cight ladies, by actual count. An evening mecting wus aiso advertised, but faiied to materiulizo for want of people aud was andonced. i At the nllianco meetings boing held over the country their orators uve announced that the republicans were afraid to meet them in jointdiscussion, which, when brought to the notice of the repuolican committeo, re sulted in a challenge both publicly, through and by a personal letter” to them, and was ac- to name the time, place, etc., copted by their chairman, who named the placegand date and numed the meeting held today.

Tate, who was proposed or J. L. MePheely, a local attoraey, or anybody olse. It was u complete backdown in “every sense and Edgerton had the effrontery to mike the statement in his specch that tho re- publicans dia not dave stand before tho peo- ple and discuss the issues, knowing that he bad rofused to meet men who sat in bis audi- ence. His specch consisted of a hemorrhage of bad grammar, promiscuous and inconsistent charges against republicans, abuse of M Roscwater and a defeuse of the last legisla- ture. He didw't lay down u single proposi- tion or wake a sugwestion in solution of i wrougs which he claimed existed, and his genious bid for demoeratic votes wus pain- fully patent and all but silly. B foré the meoting began the republicans uested room and accommodations for aphers, which were at first denied but vd granted, because it was learned that the speech would be taken as it could be caught from a seat in_the audience, Politically, intellectually and as far as enthusiasm was concerned the meeting was a failure and made not a single vote. McKeighan (onnds Democrats, Trevasen, Neb,, Oct. 25.—(Special Tole- gram to Tue Bk, —Today the independents had a rally. About 150 alliance men listened to McKeighan for over two hours. In his speech he pounded the democrats as well as the republicans. Ho said the demo- crats had mo test of mewbership and tnat you never know where to find thom, ‘to_ which & democrat remarked, ‘ou will not find them voting for Edger- ton.” In tho ovening Paul Vandervoort made a talk of several hours. His speech was mado with a view of catching tho old soldiors, but they didu't take to it kindly. After abusing every leader of the republican party, ho closed his tirado by saying that if the present supreme court wera turned out to grass thoy_ couldn’t make a living, Such statoments from such *a man as Paul Van dervoort were regarded as in porfect keep- ing with hun.
