ocratic victory, as an indication of voters drifting away from Harrison and Morton to Cleveland and Thurman, or as encouragement to the notion that any one of the traditionally Republi can stales oi tne north can oe transferred this year to the Democratic col umn, mis year the Republican plu rality was over the average, and came nearly up to the highest hgures ever reached in a September election. The truth is that the Democratic canvass has made no inroads upon thi solid Republican vote of Maine. There are no signs of a drift to Mr. Cleveland. it there is any dritt it is the other way.

Congressman John E. Russell, who made a vigorous canvass of the State in the interest of Mr. Cleveland, ad mits that the result was astonishing "Even Republicans," says Mr. Russell, "expected no better than 10,000 or 000 majority." The fact is the result in Maine is a great and glorious victory for the Republican party, and its brilliancy cannot be obscured by sickly attempts of bourbon organs to make it appear otherwise. The fact that the majority is a few hundred less than at first reported does not materially affect the result a3 a whole.

There is still a great, surprising Republican majority' running away up into the thousands and far above the average, which no amount of Democratic pretense can explain away or render less significant. The effort of the organs veiy clearly is to cover their own mortification and throw a damper upon Republican enthusiasm. TO LYON COCNTY REPUBLICANS. The Republicans of this county should arouse themselves to earnest work and make themselves conspicuous in the political contest now fairly inaugurated. Let them come together in each voting precinct or township settle all factional differences, where they exist, have a fair understanding for the future and shoulder to shoul der, in solid phalanx, storm the works of the opposition.

Think of it! Fifty millions of people are now more or less exercised over the questions at issue between the two great parties of this country. The Republicans have achieved splendid victories along the line from Oregon to Maine. Their worthy candidate for the presidency is daily winning additional laurels by the matchless addresses he is delivering to the enthusiastic delegations that are pouring in upon him. representing all industries and all nationalities. The spirit is moving Republicans in most places as it has not done since the war and Lyon county Republicans shouli not be indifferent to the grand electrical demonstrations and achieve ments that indicate a victory as brilliant, overwhelming and crushing as the memorable tri timph of 1810, with which the present seems so closely linked.

Try the grand old party once more and see better times are not brought about by a higher and broader administrativ policy. We appeal to all patriotic citi zens to join with Republicans in the effort to save the country from the consequences of another four years rule of Clevelandism, from the threat ening tendencies of a Democratic Con gress, backed by a Supreme Court of the United States which through death and retirement may become Demo cratic, or disloyal to all the great measures of the war- The dema- goguery of the Democratic party is so apparent, its methods so decep tive and its promises so insincere that it cannot be safely trusted with the ship it tried to scuttle. It wears its shoes with the heels on the toes. It is making tracks one way while it is go ing the other. It is a sectional party, seeking, as nearly as possible, to restore the old order of things.

Against such a party every truly loyal man should exert his influence. The well disposed citizens of all parties, here in Lyon county even, should unite in an earnest, active support of Republican principles and the ticket by which these principles are represented. THE CORRUPTION FUND. The Democratic campaign fund continues to grow in a significant way that bears no promise of an honest election. The list now stands: Roswell P.

Flower 25,000 Dr. Norvin Green, president of Jay Gould's telegraph company 10,000 Grover Cleveland 10.000 Calvin Brice 250,000 W. L. Scott, the "Coal Baron" 250,000 Secretary Whitney and the Standard Oil company 250,000 Postmaster General Dickinson 10,000 J. F.

Jonos 10,000 Jay Gould 50,000 Secretary Endicott Blank Check Expected from Federal office holders under pressure 1.00,000 Total to date 11,856,000 The understanding is that there are other subscriptions promised which will swell the amount to two and a half million dollars, which will be the most prodigious campaign fund ever raised in this or any other country. It is estimated that five hundred thousand dollars will pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign. What do the Democrats expect to do with the remaining two millions? Topeka Commonwealth. The Commonwealth leaves out of the calculation the English contributions. It is known that English manufacturers and tradesmen have raised an enormous fund, aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars, to help on the cause of free trade in this country.

It is safe to count on another million from this source. What do the Demo crats expect to do with these three millions above legitimate campaign expenses? Don't Hawk, Spit, Cough. Suffer dizziness, indigestion, inflammation of the eyes, headache, lassitude inability to perform mental work and indisposition for bodily labor, and annoy and disgust your friends and ac quaintances with your nasal twang and offensive breath and constant efforts to clean your nose and throat, when Dr. Sage's "Catarrh Remedy" will promptly relieve you of discomfort and suffering, and your friends of the disgusting and needless inflictions of your loathesome disease. Bound tor the Kation-A few Indians passed through yes terday evening returning to the Nation from a three days' visit to the Haskell Institute at Lawrence.

They are from the Pawnee tribe and among them were a chief, two medicine men and an Indian policeman. The red men created quite a curiosity during the short stay at the depot and the po liceman answered very intelligently the questions propounded to him.

Wheat 142.0110 of the country are combining to "pro tect" themselves by raising the price of flour to consumers; and at the same time the news comes that the whole sale grocers are preparing to form a gigantic combination to increase their prouts. appears xo De run ning to trusts; and probably the faster they go the better for the people, for the sooner will grow the sentiment that will eventually crush them out and keep them out. The consuming public is now already robbed annually of many millions by the sugar trust, the hard coal trust, and similar or ganizations, and the feeling of hostility is becoming fairly aroused. Ihe peo ple have it in their power to stamp out these conspiracies of greedy monopol ists and to make their formation un lawful, and the more rapidly they ac cumulate and the more vitally they affect the family economy the more certain and swift will be their over throw. The public will sometimes hear of the existence of and bject is to prey combinations whose upon the State or national treas- ury, with comparative Indifference, be cause their individual and private interests are affected only indirectly and remotely.

But when the hand of mo nopoly is laid upon the family flour bar rel and the family coal bin, every citi zen feel3 the wrong unmistakably, continuously and keenly, and he is ready to protest against and resent it. This he will do with his ballot, in the election of Legislators and Congress men pledged to work and vote against these leeches upon the body politic. Trusts of all sorts, whatever the spe cific article of domestic consumption upon which they have fastened their fangs, would better make good use of their opportunities, would better squeeze and oppress and harrass the people while they may, for their time is short. A DEMOCRATIC HLUFF. A prominent Eastern Democrat, Millionaire Carson, has proposed to give $10,000 if a committee of Republi can judges will declare Cleveland's De cember message to be a free trade doc ument.

The safety of this proposition lies altogether in the definition of free trade. In the sense of absolute free trade that is, where no customs du ties hatever are levied upon importa tionsthere is no such thing a3 a free trade country among the civilized gov ernments of the world. England, which ranks as an ultra free trade country, yet raises annually more than .000,000 from customs duties. When it comes to the etymological definition of free trade, Mr. Carson is safe enough.

He would be just as safe if he should declare this is not a free country, for under a strict definition it is nothing of the kind. Nevertheless, Mr. Cleveland's mes sage is a free trade document witnm the meaning of that term as commonly employed and generally understood A tariff for revenue only is practical free trade. In other words, opposi tion to protection is free trade. Mr, Cleveland's policy would retain the tax on whisky and tobacco, amounting to some a year; it would retain the duties on luxuries, amounting to some a year.

A tariff regulated by the needs of the government economically administered would require about $70,000,000 to be collected from customs duties. The policy of the 1'resioVnt and his party does not include the removal of the sugar duties, amounting to $50,000,000, consequently there would be only about $20,000,000 to be raised from the whole range of Northern manufactur ed products. Such a policy would prac tically destroy protection, which is only one way of saying it would pro duce free trade so far as nearly all the manufactured articles are concerned. This is what is meant when it is'said that the President's message is a free trade document. This, and rrot the absolute free trade under the definition of which Mr.

Carson's money is safe, is what the people of this country fear. It doesn't make any difference whether it is called "free trade," "tariff reform" lot "a tariff for revenue only," tne tning itself is based on the principles of free trade and its effect would be to open our markets to the unhamp ered competition of cheap labor in Europe. The "Free Trade Club" of New York lias changed its name to the "Reform Club," but it hasn't changed its arguments or its aims. Over its platform is a portrait of Grover Cleve land and a copy of his message, and on the platform two of the Cobden Free Trade Club speakers present the argu ments of Cobden and his English dis ciples. FAST TROTTING.

This is Jthe season of the year when the agricultural fair is "on," and when popular interest is awakened in that chief feature of the fair, the fast horse. Perhaps a majority of those, eveu, who profess to know much about horses are ignorant of one important fact, and that is, that the trottina horse is an American production and a distinctively American institution. A century ago there were the old Nor folk trotters, but the gait was never fostered and developed until atter Mes senger was imported in 1783 to Philadelphia from England. Messenger trotted, but this was looked upon as an evidence of a blot in his pedigree. Three sons of Messenger were trot ters and one of his grandsons was the first horse to trot twenty miles an hour.

Within the century there has been a steady and a wjnderful development of -speed in short-distance trotting. The first three-minute horse made his record in 1S1S, and in ISSd Maud S. trotted her mile in two minutes eight and three-quarters seconds. From an interesting and instructive paper on American trotters included in the report ot the Commissioner of Agriculture, it is found that from 1818 to the present time there has been an tin- interrupted progression. Taking periods of ten years, the ayerage ex treme speed of the five fastest horses gets faster and faster, from 2 min, 4- sec.

in isni-ou to 2 min. Hi sec at the present time. There is no reason to believe that the horse his reached his highest degree of usefulness or physical perfection in this country. The trotting gait, fast, even and safe, is indispens able for comfortable driving and holds its own with trained equestrians for riding. It is the gait of the future for all the world.

Scientific persons have figured out what speed the trot ter will ultimately attain; but whether they are right or not, there is little question that there will yet be a con siderable increase in speed. The Democrats are making desperate efforts to squeeze some comfort out of the result in Maine. If they can get any it ought not to be be grudged to them, for if there la any- Republican gain of 6.000 in Oregon, 8,000 in Vermont, a Democratic loss of 20.000 in Arkansas, with Indiana, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut safe for Harrison and the Virginias, X--rth Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky trembling in the balance if it is any satisfaction to Democrats to say that Maine only gave 18,500 Republican majority, then by all means let them have it. To Kansas Republicans: It is only a little over a month till the election Stir! If there is any reason for believing that Harrison will not be elected it fails to Buggest itself. HcirrnREY and Felt are speaking to large and enthusiastic audiences in Kansas.

If Kansas is to be the banner State, Republicans must get to work in every town and township. The campaign is "on." Let every Republican ao something toward mak ing Kansas the banner State. Emporia ought to have at least two grand Republican rallies before the election. Are any preparations being made? Fifty thousand is the figure that the country seem3 to be settling down on as the probable Republican majori ty in New ork. Lawrence Democrats had a trans parency, Cleveland works sixteen hours a day." The Republicans took the same transparency and added "ve toing soldiers' pension bills." And still the Democrat neglects to publish those promised $l-a-day affi davits.

This is downright unkind Many or the faithful hereabout are really pining for a sight of them. Tiiey do say that after John Martin draws his bottle and shakes it at the crowd, not a Democrat leaves till he gets through his speech. The explanation is that they are in hopes he'll offer 'em a drink. Captain LANUAM.of Topeka, brings back from Columbus the report that the Ohio State Capitol cannot compare with the State House of Kansas. There are several other things in Ohio that cannot compare with Kansas.

How green with envy must Mr Cleveland feel, as he scans his newspa per while waiting for more pension bills, to read of the enthusiastic thous ands daily swarming to do honor to the man who is to succeed him in of fice. It looks very much like Congress man Dingley is guilty of pernicious ac tivity in pursuing the President with his fishery resolutions. Mr. Dingley seems to haye no regard for the rule that it is unfair to kick a man when he is down. Two more helpless negroes shot to death in Louisiana by Democratic red- snirts.

iheir crime was "using incen diary language." In Louisiana "incen diary language" is understood to mean expressing an intention to vote the Re publican ticket. The Minneapolis Tribune epito mizes Cleveland's letter of acceptance in the following artistic manner: Mr. Chairman and ladies and gentle men: My letter ot acceptance means hrst, protection; second, free trade third, revenue tariff; fourth, tariff for revenue; tilth, anything to beat Har rison. Considerately yours. Gkovek Cleveland According to the Atchison Cham pion, John Martin in the course of his speeches from the stump draws out whisky flask and shakes it at his Dem ocratic friends, which never fails to produce the most uproarious applause And this is the man who started out to make "a decent party" of the Kan sas Democracyl Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, says of the result of the Maine election that it is an "indication of the coming of a storm which has more to fan into a cyclone in Connecticut, New Jer sey and New York, than it had Maine, Vermont and Oregon.

It abso lutely settles the election of Harrison. No man ranks higher in Congress for intelligent judgment and fairness than General Grosvenor. Judge Peters has arrived from Washington and reports that Congress will probably hold till within a few days of the election when it will take short adjournment to give members an opportunity to go home and vote. He thinks that Mr. Ryan, being a member of the appropriations committee, will not be able to come home before ad journment.

We commend the following from the New York World, high Democratic authority, to the careful consideration of the Emporia Democrat: "Mr. liar rison has written a letter to brand as lie the assertion that he once said that a dollar a day was good enough wages for a workingman. Nobody of com mon sense ever supposed that he said so. There are some campaign lies which are transparent, and this is one of them." Mr. Carlisle, in trying to make believe that the Republican party fa vors trusts because Mr.

Blaine said was not the province of individuals interfere with them, stoops to the methods of the demagogue. This to be regretted. Mr. Carlisle has hith- erto been considered a gentleman Of honesty and fairness, whatever may have been thought of the soundness of his political views, and it is unfortunate that this high estimate placed rip- on him should be forfeited.

I know my eye is blackened and my nose smashed and collarbone and two ribs broken, but four years ago in addition to all this I had four teeth knocked down my throat.

Talmage, who has just completed an extensive tour of the West and South, is quoted by the Brooklyn Eagle as saying: "In Indi ana, notwithstanding all that has been said in the newspapers in regard to there being no enthusiasm for their candidate, I have to say that I never saw so much enthusiasm for anY can didate as I saw among the Republicans for General Harrison." It is now it order for some great Democratic lieht to declare that Dr. Talmage has sold himself for $5,000 to the Republican campaign committee.

Drain the country of money. Drive labor largely to the land. Lower the standard of comfort. Scale down all salaries and profits Revive here the British colonial sys tem. Inundate this country with foreign gooas.

Turn the balance of trade against us Destroy our capacity for cheap pro duction. Universally reduce the value of farm ing land. Unsettle all forms of mercantile busi ness. instantly cause a paralysis in iron manufacture. Increase farm products and diminish the market.

Strike the skilled laborer first and most severely. Destroy the possibility of diversified employment. Paralyze the arm of the worker and empty his Add greatly to the wealth of the rich and make the poor poorer Leave skilled labor the alternative of idleness or English wages. Close up thousands of mills, facto ries, furnaces and workshops. Empty the building associations of their tens of millions -of dollars.

Throw the South back to the one general industry of cotton-raising. Put the whole labor population back to the ante-bellum conaition. Force capital out of fields of enter prise into permanent retirement. Rifle our pockets to swell the in comes of greedy foreign corporations Take from the home of the artisan the comforts and necessities of life. Reduce us from a state of commer cial independence to one of depen- aence.

Destroy our coasting trade, from which all foreign tonnage is now ex eluded. Make two blades ot grass grow where one now grows in manufactur ing towns. Rob us of our industrial prosperity for the benefit of Manchester and Bir mingham. Make labor a beggar at the feet of capital instead of a partner and an equal, as now. Give the foreigner an equal chance with ourselves to profit by our natural advantages.

Stifle the genius of Americans for the advancement in the civilized arts and sciences. Invite a struggle between home labor on a high plane, and old world labor, on a low plane. Enormously augment the burden of national, state, county, municipal and individual debts. Stimulate the spirit of discord springing from the seeds of socialism transplanted from Europe. Substitute for the music of the looms and lathes and hammers the complaints of idle workmen.

Make us the victims of Old World monopolies, which cannot be reached by American legislation. Leave no better opportunity here than there is in Europe for the success of brain and muscle combined. Make this country a seller of raw products at low rates and a buyer of finished products at high rates. Leave educated, skillful labor no bet ter chance for promotion than the hewer of wood and drawer of water. Eventually place America practically in the condition of agricultural countries like India and Southern Russia.

Bankrupt many railroads and dis place an immense number of laborers in transportation, by reason of a diminished internal commerce. Make these States the dumping- ground for England's surplus products, which necessity would compel us to take upon her own terms. Cincinnati Times-Star. Free Trade will do all these things. Democracy means Free Trade.

WHICH IS DESERVING? Once in a while when a Democrat doesn't just know what to say next he falls back upon that mouldy bit of claptrap: "The mission of the Republi can party ended with the abolition of slavery." The most recent use of this oracular piece of wisdom was made by Mr. Vilas in a speech at Milwaukee. It is not supposed that those who re peat the momentous deciaratmi ever pause to think of its absurdity. They utter it because it happens to suggest itself to their minds as something that has been said many times before and hence can be said with impunity, and because it sounds severe upon the Re publican party. It is true that the Republican party's original mission was to abolish slavery, and it fufilled it.

But because a pub lic servant does one piece of work faith fully and well, is that any reason why he should be discharged? Is it not rather the best of reasons hy he should contiuue to be employed that he may do other useful service. Had the Re publican party failed in its first mis sion it might well have disbanded as unworthy of continued existence. But it did not fail. It succeeded nobly and grandly. And that was but the begin ning of its usefulness.

It wrought more real reforms and rendered more valuable service to the country during its twenty-four years ot power than is placed to the credit of any other political party that ever existed. But if a party which performed one mission well should cease to live as no longer useful, what excuse is there for the existence of a party which neyer had a mission? Or if it had one failed to perform it? If the ejnocratic party ever had a mission which it did not fail to perform it was a misson of evil. In the past its mission was to perpetuate slavery, encourage secession, organize rebellion, and oppose all the great reforms instituted by the Republican party. Its present mission seems to be to defeat the popular will by coercion of voters and frauds upon the ballot, and to subvert the American system of protection to workingmen. In all its history it cannot point to single great useful purpose it ever subserved.

Did it ever oc cur to these Democratic wiseacres that for everv reason that can be given why the Republican party should disband, there are a hundred good ones why the Democratic party should be hanged? AS TO MAINE. hat the small-bore organs may have to say about the Maine election is, of course, mere partisan clatter. The following extracts show the intelligent Democratic opinion up on the subject. The Philadelphia Times, than which Mr. Cleveland has no more ardent supporter, oa the morn ing of the Maine election said: A Republican majority of today that is a loss of 5.000 on the party majority of 1SS4 would be fairly holding their own on the part of the Republicans, as they did in Vermont by a gain of 5.000; and an increase over that figure could be justly claimed as a positive Republican victory, while any less than 15.000 could be justly claimed as a chill upon Republican hopes for November.

The New York Sun passe3 its judgment as follows: The plain truth about the Maine election is that ingenuity can devise no Ollieial Paper of the City and County. THURSDAY, EI'TEML'EU 20. 1388. Only seven weeks Harrison's election. until General Now let us hear from Mr.

Tburman and Mr. Morton, as briefly as possible. Nothing short of a revolution can defeat the Republican party this year. Foil some reason or have altogether ceased talking about "Cleveland luck." Yes, certainly. Maine is "all right; but it sounds queer to hear a Demo cratic organ saying so.

Jcdck Tuckman is old and frail and tottery, but he is not referred to when mention is made of the "weak end'' of the ticket.

The Wichita Iieucon inquires if we will inform it "which part" of the country considered Judge Thurman's opinion of Cleveland's letter weak. Certainly. The honest, intelligent part. The Soldiers' Orphans' Home a Atchison is crowded to its lull capacity. Applicants are being turned off almost daily.

An enlargement of the institution would be a worthy benefi cence. President Cleveland denies that he ever said he believed in free trade as in the Protestant religion. His con duct hitherto shows that he is a much better disciple of free trade than of any sort of religion. Norwood, the fusion candidate for Governor in Arkansas, claims to have been elected by TOO majority and will make a contest. Mr.

Norwood's cause is no doubt just, but that is no reason for believing that it will succeed not in Arkansas. A itoruuoN exchange is of the opinion that ail the offices should be filled by "tried" Democrats, which leads a contemporary to remark that many of President Cleveland's Democratic appointees have not only been tried but convicted. It pains bs to state that the Emporia Democrats who have been eagerly ex peeling a promised publication in their local organ of a number of affidavits concerning the expression at tributed to General Harrison, are still the victims of disappointment. ro Joe Smith wants a joint canvass with Colonel Flory Now if it were not that the Colonel is a very busy man and has no time to waste, he might agree to a few discussions with Joe, just for the fun of the thing.

If the object of reducing the tariff is to lighten the farmers' burdens, as it is claimed, why rot reduce it on sugar and rice, which the farmer has to buy, Instead of removing it from wool, winch he raises to sell? The Mills bill provides that sugar shall be protected per cent, and rice 100 per cent, and that wool shall have no protection at all. 1 uk Democratic rejoicing that the Republican majority in Maine is a few Hundred less than at tlrst reported loses sight of the fact that it is still a great Kepubhcan victory in that Mate.

Republicans have ample reason to be satisfied with the result in Maine. Pvblic opinion even in England is waking up to the necessity of placing severe restrictions upon immigration. At the Trades Congress which has just been held at Bradford, England, a resolution was passed favoring the ex clusion irom tne country or semi-pauper immigrants, unless they are skilled workers. The general senti ment is that every country should take care of its own paupers.

Ir is well-known that Chairman Brice, of the Democratic national com mittee, is a millionaire banker, but it has only recently been divulged through a congressional investigation that his bank at Lima, Ohio, is one of the pet Democratic institutions to which the administration has loaned large sums of the public funds without interest. The amount of the people's money that Mr. Brice thus enjoys is The Democrat is willfully obtuse concerning the quinine question. It cannot be ignorant of the fact that a thorough expose of tbe free traders' claim regarding that article was printed in this paper only a few weeks ago. It was then shown that the reduction in price of quinine was not due to removal of the duties but to a new and groatly enlarged source of supply, in consequence of which the price went down everywhere, in all countries alike.

The first case called was that of the State vs, Jesse Goodrich, charged with robbery, The complaining witness is Harry Rob inson. Six or seven ladies were in at tendance, all of whom were witnesses in the case.

As told by the witness, Harry Robin son and Miss Bechtel were out in the neighborhood of East Lake one Sunday night the latter part of July, and while there some one came along, drew a revolver and ordered Harrv to de liver hich he did. Frank Burnham testified to having got a confession of the deed from Goodrich, and the latter was indicted by the grand jury. The defense used their time aud witnesses in establishing a justly strong alibi. Other cases disposed of are: State of Kansas vs. Maggie Moore alias Elliott; plea of not guilty; jury waived and trial was held before the court; she was found guilty and fined $-30 and costs, which was paid.

General Harrison writes the judge an exceedingly interesting communication, kindly referring to the old war times when the then Captain Culver was a member of his personal staff and therefore a member of his army family. It also refers to the late reunion of his old brigade and their call on their commander. It is safe to state that the judge is exceed ingly proud of his old military chief, and highly values the kind letter just received. Married.

All report having had a magnificent time and hospitable treatment by the Buckeyes. Many, however, are still eaafc visiting relatives and friends. Many incidents of the trip are related by the returned excursion ists, and the accident near Chicago is especially dwelt upon, where, although several cars were badly wrecked and two car loads of stock nearly all killed. the Emporia train was so fortunate as to have only two of the party slightly injured and their car load of produce badly shaken up not so much, how ever, as to keep it from now being the best display of the kind at the Colum bus centennial, where it attracted much attention.

Our band covered itself with laurels during its absence, and, at the head of the Kan sas column, received marked attention at the hands of the immense crowds of spectators, continuous applause being its accompanimtnt while playing, and it was the universal verdict that the Kansas Headquarters band was the best, for its numbers, in Columbus.

District Court. In the case of Ritch vs. Talley, the jury returned a verdict of $3-5 and interest for the plaintiff. The time of the court was occupied yesterday in the matter of the es tate of Miles R. Brown, deceased, Mat-tie Brown, claimant, vs.

James M. Brown et executors, appellants. This case is one appealed from the probate court, where it wa3 tried last spring. According to an agreement entered into between Brown and his wife she Wds to have $-5 a week for tak-ingcare of him, and $100 more in case of his death, it she, on her part, would not trouble him during lm illness about the division of the property. (His will gave her half the estate.) The case came before the probate judge and after hearing the evidence he allowed her the $-5 a week, but held that she had violated the part of the contract referring to her troubling her husband about the property, and he did not allow her the $100; hence the appeal.

The lady's evidence in court was very snappish, and Col. Feighan, who is conducting the de fense, had a difficult task to keep even with her. Miles U.
