SEVILLE FOE SUPREME JUDGE, "Williani Neville, of this city, was nominated for judge of the supreme Qourt by the populist convention at Hastings Wednesday. This is supposed to be the result of the po litical deal made between Holcomb. Green and Neville, whereby the trio were to assist each other in unnga nomination for tliere- spective offices which they sought. The full particulars of this -tripar tite deal is given as folllows by the Kearney Hub of Wednesday last: Judge Neville of North Platte spent several days in Kearney this week closing up the political deal between himself and Judege Greene whereby Judge Greene is to assist Judge Neville to the populist nom ination for supreme judge and Judge Neville is to assist Jndge Greene in return to the populist nomination to congress in the Sixth district. Governor Holcomb, who is a party to the transaction, could not be present, but he had sanctioned m advance any adjust ment of the details of the political agreement that has been entered into by '"three judges." It is understood that Holcomb and Greene were a trifle "leary" about incurring the hostility of T. Fulton Gantt, Judge Neville's fellow townsmanand who is also a candi date for the populist nomination for congress, but Judge Neville reasoned that the combination was strong enough to ignore Gantt and fix up the spoils without regarding his interests or the possible result of his antagonism. n the same connection, it leaks out that the placing of the congress sional convention at Crawford was ingeniously arranged so that there would be a small attendance of delegates from the western part of the district, in the Platte valley, which is Mr. Gantt's stronghold, and in this'way it is intended to minimize the Gantt influence eveii though he should be so fortunate as to carry his own county or it should be deemed advisable to let him have it rather lhan precipitate a fight. i It is one of the smoothest politi cal deals ever evolved in these parts, and everyone knows that Holcomb, Neville and Greene are adepts in the art of political mani- oulation. These gentlemen have I no use for Gantt.1 first for the reason that thev. haven't anv "Christmas- gifts" to spare just ml. . now, duu ior xne xurtner reason i x . a. r . i i 1 it 1 -. . cnat ne uas an independent way of actinfr ahd thinkinp- for Tiimlf fi?,nH- ,v ajci this congressional Matter, and in- i nori, t,. t, been green- backer, a crransrer, an indeoendent and a populist, and stood out in WW', i WPcfflm TVoKt I C-1-lS inlmn 1, almost alone, he is liable to make the combine a p-reat' deal of trnnhTp The Hub is interested in it only so far d 5t feds interest mJthe under dog, a position in which Mr. Gantt apparently finds himself at the present time.

One of Ihe oldest and largest man ufacturers of patent medicines in the United States vrites The Tri bune as follows: To protect our selve in time of panic and financial distress which we regard as in evitable if the unexpected should happen in November we have de cided to add the following condition to all contracts made for advertis ing: It is also agreed that should Free Silver Candidate Bryan be elected, this company has the priv ilege of cancelling this contract. Bryan will go to New York to be notified of his nomination by demo crats, to Baltimore to hear of his nomination by silverites, to to be told of his nomination by popu list, but he can stay at home in November and learn all about his defeat. Bryan's Chicago platform asserts that the present financial system has been a bar to the nation's pros perity, and caused all the hard times. What are the facts? Right after the war the statesmen in power began the work of rebuilding. The statistics show that in 1870 there was $1,700,000,000 invested in manufactures in the United States; in 1890 this sum had increased to $6, 200, 000,000. In 1870 the number of employes in these establishments was 2,000, 000;in 1890 it was 4.500,000 The amount of wages paid to these bread-winners in 1870 was $620,000 000, an average of S310 per annum per head; m 1890 it was $2,200,000, u00, an average of $489 per annum per head. The total value of man ufactured products in 1870 was $3, 400,000,000; in 1890 it was $9,000,000, 000. Dr. Sawyer; Dear Sir: Having used yonr Pas Ulles, I can recommend them to the public.

And they want Bryan for president It cannot be possible that in the closing years of the nineteenth cen tury and in this great and free re public the people themselves will irritate the bad example set by the corrupt -potentates ot Europe, who lave made their names forever odious in history by debasing the money of their subjects and robbing he industrious poor of the just re wards of their labor. The great est crime that could be committed the workinginan in this country would be to confiscate his abor for the benefit of the employer by destroying the value of the money in which his wages are paid; but this irreparable wrong can never be perpetrated under our system of government unless the laboring man himself assists in forging his own chains Secretary John G.
