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has withdrawn as the democratic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.

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.

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.

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.

sertion that Mr. Clark went to 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

and paid balance of money due on

warrant was to pay the taxes on

born consults his tax receipt he will
