Two weeks of aggressive cam paigning means the election of every candidate on the republican ticket. It is beginning to dawn on the minds of a good many independents that Mr. rJucuanan is not so much of a saint as some people would have them believe. Reports coming in .daily from the country precincts are very grat ifying to the republicans. They indicate a result much more sweep ing than two years ago. In W. T. Bowen, candidate for commissioner of the third district, the republicans have a very strong man, against whose ability and in tegrity his opponents have nothing to say. There is every reason to predict his election by a handsome majority. Wallace Star. The Tribune is successfully nail ing the lies concocted by Mr. Beeler as fast as thev appear in print. The people generally know Beeler's proneness to tell falsehoods, but if the campaign continued a month i i n i longer tnere would not be a man, woman or child in the county who would believe him under oath. W. J. Bowen, the republican candidate for commissioner, will al ways favor awarding a contract to the lowest and best bidder. Does the independent candidate for the same omce ravor such a course, or will he, if elected, filch hundreds of dollars from the count' by award ing the county printing to the highest bidder? By mutual consent L. C. Lenou has withdrawn as the democratic candidate for county judge and A iisher becomes the victim. Mr. Leuon will, however, be a candidate for justice of the peace in Wallace precinct. The cry of Clark's incompetency conies principally from a class of men who pay no taxes, have no business to transact at the treasur er s office, and therefore have no knowledge as to how Mr. Clark con ducts his office. As evidence of Newell Burrttt's popularity where he is best known, it is stated on excellent authority that he will not carry his own pre cinct nor one or two adjoining. This being the case, it is very evident that there is something wrong with the man. Ananias Beeler, of the Wallace Herald, is respectfully invited to call at The Tribune office the next time he is in North Piatte and re ceive a medal for being the most notorious liar in western Nebraska. It has been ready for him for some time past. m itt it t t i ihe Wallace Herald devotes a quarter of a column in relating how once upon a time Newell Burritt, the independent candidate for coun ty clerk, gave a needy and deserving woman a dollar and a half. This was undoubtedly the greatest event in Burritt s life A question in simple arithmetic: Jake Miller buys a bunch of horses forfcOOand sells-them within month for $1400, and receives three per cent per month on the notes he accepted from the purchasers, the average life of each note being six months; how much money did Mil ler make on the deal? Ant stoiy concocted b Frank Wheeling, who, when a resident of North Platte, was known as a thief, gambler and would-be murderer, is unworthy of consideration. Wheel ing shot at Baker several yea?s ajro In contradiction to an item ap pearing in the Herald, the Wallace Star says: Frank Hettinger will vote the republican ticket straight, and those who know him best will not believe anything else. He will vote for his successful opponent in the convention and work for him, and the Herald's insinuations, like most of the stuff that appears in are not founded on facts. that rag, If Jake Miller did not charge the farmers three per cent per month interest on the notes he accepted on horse sales he convicts himself of telling a falsehood for he certainly did go to a North Platte attorney and stating that he -had charged un lawful interest asked what course he should pursue in case the farmers plead usury. This occurred the early part of 1890 and it is still fresh in Miller's mind, though he is evi dently trying very hard to forget it. Much as he would like to get out and see his friends, count' judge Ray finds it impossible to leave his office for any length of time with out neglecting his official duties, and this he flatly refuses to do. This is in keeping with the judge's record throughout his term he has at tended strictly to his duties, kent close to his office and performed all his work in a faultless manner. For this he deserves commendation, and the voters will see that he is elected by a handsome majority. But leu Buchanan thinks the epublican papers of Lincoln county are making a very personal fight on him; that their attacks are slander ous. Now, so far as The Tribune is concerned, no personalties have been indulged in; and the state ments it has made in regard to him have been such as he cannot hon estly deny. It has stated facts such as they exist and surely he cannot find fault with the publication of truths. It has not been and is "no the intention of TnE Tribune to malign Mr. Buchanan. For two years he was clerk of Lincoln conn ty and the members of his preseu party insist that he made a mode officer and that all his acts as such are above cnticsm. If this is true Mr. Buchanan can undoubtedly point with pride to his ofhcial ac tious and court public investigation of his record as clerk. Taking it for granted that he does this, The Tri bune desires to call the attention of the voters of Liucoln countv to one or two things that transpired dur with intent to kill and has ever had ing his term of office. In the early Nailing the Lies. The Wallace Herald devotes a half column to what it terms the "stupendous stupidity1' of County Treasurer Clark. But when the truth is stated the stupendous stupidity is on the Herald. The portion of the article which at pres ent we desire to consider is as fol lows: On the 2uth dny o September, 169.1, Mr. C.A: Glaze, b prominent business mnn of Wellfleet, drew a check for $57.35 on the First NY.tional Bank of North rlatte, N'eb., payable to J. H. Clark, for the payment of his (Glaze's) taxes, which check reached Mr. Clark on the 27th, only three days before the land, upon which the taxes were due, would be advertised. Int-tead of pre senting the check at the Fir-t National Bank where he has daily bu? iness, Clark returned it to Mr. Glaze with the following letter: Tours received containing check for $57.35 which I return to you. Please send draft instead of check. To save advertising, set it here by Sat urday. Kespect'y, J. II. Clare, Treas. Now, in the first place, there is no bank in Well fleec, and Mr. Glaze could not therefore pet a draft to send to Treasurer Clark If Mr. Clark had possessed only the business qualifications of a fourteen year old school boy he would, instead of sticking to the letter of a rule in his office, have gone to the bank and presented the check upon which he would hare received prompt payment, as Mr. Glaze had his money deposited in said bonk The true facts are that on the date named in the Herald's article Mr. Clark received the check named (157.35) marked "no protest." De puty Prosser presented the check to the First National Bank for pay ment and the bank stated that the accounts of Mr. Glaze were $20.00 short of the amount of the check and that balance would not be ad vanced to pay the check, and then the check was returned. Mr. Beeler is there anything stupid about that? This is the kind of a business man the republicans have nominated for county treasurer. Mr. Beeler if you think it stupid to return a worthless check and save the county from be ing fleeced keep up your fight upon Treasurer Clark and you will elect him by a handsome majority. You will find lying sheets like 3ours, as well as worthless checks, are at a heavy discount before an honest and fearless officer like J. II. Chi'k. State of Nebraska, Lincoln County, s. Geo. E. Prosper, beinp first duly sworr accord ing to law, depoes and says that hr is deputy county treasurer of Lincoln county, Nebraska, unci as such officer he took the Glaze c'eck of 157.35 to the First National Bank to have '"e same cashed nnd that the bnuk refused to cash ihe same for the lack of sufficient funds to the eedit of Glaze for its payment. 1eo.

The statement made by Beeler that the commissioners' salaries un der republican administra t i o n amounted to approximately 81,000 each is false and Beeler knew it when he made the statement. No republican commissioner ever drew half that sum except during the re lief work of 1S91. The average salaries since 1SSG have been a little over S300 per annum. And yet Joe Beeler will lie and ask the people of Lincoln county to believe his wilf till misrepresentions. In order to let all honest voters know in what degree they have been deceived by Reformer Beeler and what truth there is in his state ments we publish an itemized ac count of the amounts drawn bv ; each or the commissioners since 1880 to date.

Ill mpninina v had purchased 160 sheriffs sale, but that Baker had re fused to make him but a deed at the time of the sale and af ew days later sold the land to A. D; Buckwortb at a slight advance 07er Filbert's bid. This statement is absolutely false. The facts in the case are as follows: The loan on the land was made J. W. Rhoades by a Hastings firm, the members of which were personal friends of Mr. Buckwortb. ana they asked him to look after- their interests. Khoades failed, to meet his notes and by order of the court the land was advertised and sold under foreclosure of the mort gage. Filbert wanted to buy the land but had not the money to pav for it, nor could he succeed" in "bor rowing the necessary funds. The laud was bought in by Buckwortb for the Hastings parties for $425, which was a little above the .mort gage and the costs in the case. The Hastings parties have, we believe, gone out of business, or at least have not yet taken the land off his hands, Buckworth desires to dispose'of this land, in tact has ever since he found it on his hands, and will sell it to Mr. Filbert or anyone else for just the amount he paid for it, namely, 8425. He does not ask interest on the 425 since last February, - the only condition beiuerthat the trans fer be made for spot cash. Tffaf Mr. BuckworM does not want this land is evidenced by the fact that he has offered The "Tribute five per cent canimissiou if it sells the prop erty lor 8425 cash. We have never said a word against the candidater of the other parties for supreme juuge, as are not in the habit of running a man down because he does not be long to our party. But as Judge Maxwell whom we considered the best and most available candidate, and whom we would have supported against any other man for the posi tion of supreme judge, has refused to come out as an independent, (what, according to our opinion he ought to have done), we as all the voters have now to choose one of title three who have been nominated. And as Judge Harrison is equal to the others in every respect, and is superior to them as a considerable older and more experienced lawyer w believe that he deserves our sup- Tinrf W nre of the opinion that Judge Maxwell, who out of respect to his party's decision withdrew from the contest, will himself vote for Judge Harrison in preference to the candidates ot the other parties. i Grand Island Independent. And "Parmer" ia Oorreot. Do the farmers of our county understand why it is that the Era is so savagely jumping onto Stod dard and Clark? If not let me en lighten you. If you have a quarter section of land it has, where practi cable, been entered on the tax books in one description instead of four as liuchanan did it. The Era is al lowed by our commissioners twenty cents for each description for pub lishing delinquent tax-list when the Telegraph and Tribuxe offend to do it for one-half the price: so that every one of us farmers who are-oV; lmqueut this hard year only pavs twenty cents for advertising when the Era would have it eighty cents; see the milk in the cocoanut?

In giving publicity to an' statement purported to have been made by Wheeling the independent gasbags give additional evidence of being extremely hard pushed for campaign thunder, for no one would believe Wheeling un der oath. Mr. IvELiHER h attempt in last week's Era to prove that John II. Clark was not turning into the treasury the interest he received on county monej's was very lame. Especially can it be considered so when Mr. Keliher admits that Mr. Clark has a written opinion from Attorney General Hastings by which he, Clark, justifies his actions. The Tribune has a copy of the attorney general's opinion, but its extreme length excludes it from our col umns. The part of the opinion, however, which is directly applic able to the case is found in follow ing quotation: "I conclude that the count3' treasurer under the law is required to deposit all funds in treasury belonging to the county in the county depositor-, and that it does not extend to and include a fund or funds which do not belon; to the county. Mr. Clark is deposit ing all moneys in the county de positories and is turning into the county treasury all the interest he receives on couut funds. He is acting in direct accordance with the opinion rendered by the attorney general, the highest authority in the state to which he can apply. Messrs. Hill and Diehl state that Mr. Clark has not accounted for in terest on the several precinct bridge funds, which is correct, for he has no authority to turn into the coun ty treasurj money which at some future time may be demanded by the respective precincts. The in terest accruing from the precinct funds is held in abeyance by Mr. Clark and when the supreme court settles the question, as it undoubt edly will in the near future, as to which is the rightful owner, the county or the precincts, the money will be forthcoming. Ihe course pursued by Mr. Clark in this mat ter is observed by tre.-isurers all, over the state, in fact they cannot: do otherwise than obey the instruc tions of the attorney-general un less they except an interpretation of the law by the very learned Mr. Keliher, and this they will hardly do. part of 1S90 Mr. Buchanan began making a daily abstract of all mort gages and like instruments filed m the clerk's ollice, and sent copies of such dailv abstract to some tiveutv five or thirty bankers, money lend ers and real estate dealers in this and adjoining counties. From each of those to whom he sent a copy he received two dollars and fifty cents a mouth, the whole making a monihly aggregate of from forty to sixty dollars. The work of making these abstracts devolved on either Mr. Buchanan or his deputy Mr. Dick, and it was always performed during business hours, neyer later than five o'clock in the afternoon. The furnishing of these abstracts continued during Mr. Buchanan's term of office, though toward the latter part of term the number of subscribers had somewhat dimin ished. Now, in all honesty was not the moneys received from this source fees of the office, and should not Mr. Buchanan have reported them as such? The county was paying for the time of himself and his de puty, and the work of making the abstracts came out of that time. It was part of the revenue of the office and cannot be considered other than fees. But Mr. Buchanan, in niak-; ing his settlement with the commis sioners, never reported these fees. Now, is this strictly honest work; did he not take advantage of the commissioners and defraud the county out of at least SSOO? Voters carefully weigh this matter and then ask yourselves if Mr. Buchanan was not guilty of a dishonest act. Mr. Buchanan is supposed to be a "reform" candidate and would there fore not take advautage of anything that would add extra expense to the count, and et we find that during the last year of his term he charged and received 8400 as clerk to the commissioners, while both his prede cessor, Mr. Evans, and his successor, Mr. Stoddard charged but S200 for a like service. The statements made in this ar ticle are facts, and can be substan tiated by a number of true and good witnesses. The' prove that Mr. Buchanan was not a model officer, that he took advantage of the tax payers, and that he is indebted to the county the full amount of fees he received from his abstract sub scribers. M. Buchanan s official acts will be further considered next week. Total.. James Helton L. Walker J. L. McAllister... Total.. L. Walker J. L. McAllister ... M.

The action of Judge Holcomb in calling an outside judge to the bench in this district and making a regular stumping tour of the state is a sur prise to a great many people and is provoking a great deal of unfavor able criticism. It is within bounds for a candidate for supreme judge to appear at public meetings, make the acquaintance of the people gen erally, and talk politics a littls as possible. This was the old idea. but Judge Holcomb is discounting it by long odds, in making astaight out "pop political campaign. Kearnev Hub. Total SS00 50 lo show the falacies of populist statements and how easily a man whose mind is poisoned with politi cal prejudice can be mistaken and led to believe that some county offi cial, opposed to him politically has done him an injustice, we wish to correct a statement that has been ventilated quite freely here the past week. Frank Welborn it seems had a county warrant due him for road work. Mr. Welborn makes the as sertion that Mr. Clark went to the county clerk's office and got his warrant and put it in his safe and instead of applying it on his taxes advertised them. The facts in the matter are as follows: The county commisssoners ordered the county treasurer to go in the clerk's office and get a $37.87 warrant belonging to l'rauk Welborn and apply it to ms uacK taxes, iur. uiarK din as instructed and the same was held until Welboorn sent in his receipts which was not until Sept. 27, 1S92, when he was given his tax receipt and paid balance of money due on warrant. His laud for which this warrant was to pay the taxes on was never advertised, Mr. Welborn is either honestlv mistaken or has allowed his political prejudice to get he upper hand of his better judg ment in this matter. If Mr. Wel born consults his tax receipt he will find it is dated Sept, 27, 1892. and then looks up the law he will find that the delinquent tax list is not published until after October 1st.

The arrangement naturally met with opposition from the citizens of the towns where the offices were abolished, especially at Chadron. Congressman Kem came to the rescue by sugeesting that the Chadron office remain and the Broken Bow office be abolished. This suggestion has created a storm at Broken Bow where they cannot understand why Kern should favor an injury being done to his own town, and some have even become so indignant as to suggest a coat of tar and feathers as about the proper thing for the read-headed congress. man. It is earnestly hoped that out of all the turmoil aroused over, the many blunders of Kern, will corne a demand for the retirement of bis incompetency that will be einpbV sized by his emphatic defeat at. -the polls next year.
