THE BSY AH SPEECH.
The much talked of popocraticdem
pnstration came off Tuesday as an
nounced and attracted a large crowd
of people to the city from the coun
try and neighboring town?, in an
ticipation of heariug the character
istic flow of senlimentalism from
their leader, "William Jennings
Bryan.
Mr. Bryan arrived on No. 1 irom
the east at 5:35 o'clock and was met
at the train by a reception commit
tee of populists and democrats who
escorted their "distinguished guest"
to the southwest corner of the de
pot platform, where for half an
hour he addressed an audience com
posed of 'about eight hundred visi
tors and citizens. After his re
marks, theband played "Marching
through Georgia" and Mr. Bryan
was ushered to the Hotel Neville "in
a bus, and banqueted.
Mr. Bryan again, spoke iu the
evening at Lloyd's opera house and
was the means of filling the hall
with curious spectators. The tact
that fusion by the populists and
democrats in this county had been
a fizzle, which greatly distressed
candidates on both tickets who de
sired to be "united" upon, and the
fact that Mr. Bryan's presence was
calculated to appease in some way
the candidates for spoils, w ere con
ducive to a good attendance.
Throughout the meeting, how
ever, enthusiasm was couspicously
absent, the "boy orator" faihug to
awaken in his most pronounced ad
mirers a warm response to his ef
fort to show them that the countrv
has gone to the -bowows."
Mr. Bryan played upon the emo
tions of the audience in his usual
style, which has become so tiresome
that yawning and retiring from the
hall long before the speaker had
finished were noticeable effects of
his address.
It is safe to say that his visit
here was a waste of "valuable"'
time, from his point of view, for in
stead of strengthening the cause of
demo-populism he weakened it. He
has not only lost the grace and elo
quence which characterized lum
iormerly, but displays lessearnest-
ncss. less purity of speech, and
""more of the Altgeld Tillman style
than that which won for him so
many admirers a few years ago.
Mr. Bryan is careful not to for
get that he was a candidate for the
presidency last year, and reminded
-Ifis auditors of this fact at disgust
jngly frequent intervals through
out his address. All this is not sur

prising. The lost cause for which
he stands has doubtless beconje as
tiresome to him as it ljas to qthers.
His vain attempt to convince the
people that a "silver bug" is better
than a "gold bug" is so glaringly

Tuesday night while Mrs. Win.
Emerson was listening to Bryan's
address at the opera house, sneak
thieves entered her place of resi
dence on north Spruce street, and
appropriated two overcoats, a suit
of clothes, and other articles of
minor value belonging to her two
borders, Nick Kirsh and Archie
Adamson.
Mrs. Emerson left the house at
7 o'clock, returning about 10:30.
j From the way things were scattered
about the inen's room, the theft
was committed hurriedly and by per
sons who were familiar with the
place. Entrance was gained by
way of a rear door which was left
unlocked by the occupants of the
house when they departed.
The victims of the theft are em
ployes of the railroad company.
They received their pay checks
Monday and it is very likely the
pnrleiners expected to find some
money about the house, but being
disappointed, they resorted to the
next best thing and provided them
selves with clothing for the winter.
The goods stolen are valued by
their owners at about S70. Mr.
Adamson had just purchased his
overcoat and suit of clothes Mon
day night and had worn them but
once. He says he could not iden
tify the clothes.
The authorities were immediately
notified of the theft, but at this
writing no arrests had been made.

M. Einstein, Prop,
The election of the populist tick?
et means a continuation of the
present extravagant and unlawful
management of county affairs. The
candidates on the republican tick
et are pledged to conduct the coun
ty affairs with economy and accord
ing to law. The tax-payers should
lay aside all partisanship and vote
the straight republican ticket and
thus put an end to extravagance
and misrule in county government.
The election of Major William
Woodhurst to tue ofhee of county
commissioner will be a step toward
the redemption of the count' from
populist misrule. Every tax-pay
er in this commissioner's district
should see to it that he cast his
vote for Major Woodhurst and a re
turn to economy in the manage
ment of our count' government.
Major Woodhurst is one of the ear
ly settlers of Lincoln county, a man
of business experience, and will
make a valued member of.the board
of county commissioners.
The populist ring from Buchanan
down are in the habit of posing as
"holier than thou" men; constantly
prating of their honesty and econo
my until they have fooled a great
many people into believing that
there was something in their pre
tensions. But pretensions ot this
character do not account for the
fact that it has cost the taxpayers
over eighty thousand dollars more
to carry on the county government
during the five years 1893 to 189
under populist rule, than it did for
the five years 1883 to 1887 under re
publican management.
So well known is Chas.. P. Ross,
the republican candidate tor coun
ty surveyor, that he needs no intro
duction at our hands. Mr. Ross is
a civil engineer with an established
reputation and has been employed
on some of the most important sur
veys made here and elsewhere. He
has been employed on government,
railroad and irrigation ditch sur
veys where only civil engineers of
recognized ability could secure a
position. Mr. Ross has lived in the
county a number of years, is well
acquainted with the government
surveys, and his general knowledge
ot the county makes him particu
larly well qualihed for the position
for which he is a candidate. His
fitness is unquestioned and in vot
ing for Mr. Ross you cast your bal
lot for a man who will render excel
lent satisfaction.
A ElutGE share ot the taxes ille
gally levied against the tax-payers
of the county during the past four
years have been absorbed by the al
lowances of exorbitant and" unlaw
ful fee bills from the sheriff's of
fice. The law forbids the allow
ance of fees to the sheriff in mis
demeanor cases out of the county
general fund. Yet notwithstand
ing the law thousands of dollars
have been allowed Jacob Miller for
fees in these cases during the past
four years in defiance of the law.
And these bills are in the hand
writing- ot Keliher the populist
candidate, for sheriff. A vote for
Keliher is a vote in favor of the
continuance of this robbery of the
taxpayers. Vote for Claude "Vein-
srand who is pledged to run the
sheriff's office according- to law,
and who will be satisfied , with the
legal fees of the office.
A county judge suouid be a man
possessing a leiral education, a man
well read in law, and therefore com
petent to lairly and impartially ad
minister the duties of his oihee. In
A. S. Baldwin, the republican can
didate for county iudjre, is found
such a man. Mr. Baldwin is a law
yer ot ability, has had many years
experience in law affairs, and it
I 4
goes without saying- tht as county
ludire he will render his decisions
Jo. i
in a fair, impartial audi intelligent
manner. mere is no question in
regard to Mr. Baldwin's election,
it is only a matter of the size of the
plurality he will receive. In him
voters recognize a competent man
for the position, and they, irrespec-1
tive of party affiliations, will cast
their ballots for him. Mr. Baldwin
for four vears held the position of
register ot the U. S. land office in
this city.
The law limits the term of coun
ty treasurer to tweyears and makes
the treasurer ineligible for more
than two successive terms. The
object of the law is, that at the end
of every four years there shall be a
new deal in the treasurers olhce;
that somebody will be elected that
will demand a settlement: that the
funds of the county shall be ac
counted for. The election of the
populistic candidate, with A. D.
Orr, Buchanan's deputy, retained
in the office as deputy, would de
feat the intention of the law, and
deprive the tax payers of the bene
fit of a complete accounting. In
view ot tue rottenness ot the popu
list ring, and the illegal manipula
tion of the county funds by the
treasurer and county board, it is
very important to the tax-payers
that A. C. Barrv, the republican
candidate for treasurer, be elected.
With Barry in the treasurer's office
it will be conducted according to
law and there will be a check on the
illegal manipulation of the county
funds by the populist commission
ers.
O,, . .O
Ix nominating Claude Weingand
for sheriff, the republican conven
tion made a selection which is tak
ing exceedingly well with the vot
ers of the county, and although Mr.
Weingand has considerable odds
to overcome, as shown by the vote
of one and two years aro, we are
well satisfied that he will pull out
a winner. Mr. Weingand came to
North Platte nine years ago from
1.1111101s, coming west, as many
young men do, "to seek his fortune.
Born a "rustler," he did not wait
for employment to hunt him but he
hunted employment, and his first
work was that of assisting to clean
up the streets of North Platte.
Later he secured employment with
Victor VonGoetz, as grocery clerk.
where he remained as a faithful
and trusted employe for several
years. Severing his connection
with Mr. VonGoetz, he purchased
a confectionery and cigar store.
wnicn ne conducted lor a vear or
more with much success. He dis
posed of this business to John Fed-
erhoff and purchased the oil busi
ness then conducted by Alex. Adam
son, and in tins vocation lie has
since been engaged. Nature has
endowed Mr. Weingand with a fine
ysique, a genial disposition and
a courage that knows no fear. He
position fof which he is a candidate
and we, as well as all his acquaint-
ances, know that he will make a
model sheriff. His character is
above repaoach he is honest, capa
ble and popular, and if any man in
Lincoln county deserves his popu
larity it is Claude Weingand. The
voter who casts his ballot for Mr.
Weingand will make no mistake
in lact no better man tor the posi
tion can be found in the state.
W. M. Holtry, the republican
nominee for county clerk, is making
a very active and aggressive cam
paign, and there is but little ques
tion ot his election. For this posi
tion he is exceptionally well quali
fied, possessing a thorough clerical
and business education, and being
a graduate of the Iowa Business
College at Des Moines. Prior to
coming to North Platte he was en-
geo in tue lumber business in

the flouring nulls on the west
limits of the city, an enterprise in
which he invested all his money.
The mills, owing to crop failures
and other causes, did not prove a
success, and Mr. Holtry and his
partner lost all the funds they had
invested. Mr. Holtry subsequently
moved to Sutherland and engaged
in a limited scale in tue lumber and
coal business when there was
scarcely a house in that now thriv-
g village. He has since continued
m tnat business with increasing
success and to the handling" of lum
ber and coal he has added the buy-
g of live stock. Mr. Holtry is a
very agreeable man, pleasant and
obliging and when installed in the
county clerk's office willmakea very
efficient and popular clerk. A vote
for W. M. Holtry for clerk is put
ting the voter on record as iu favor
of efficient county officers and an
economical administration of coun
ty affairs. Vote for Holtry.
Miss Bertha Thoelecke is one
of the most successful teachers in
the North Platte schools, and her
ability will be attested by the sev
eral superintendents who have had
charge of the city schools. In all
departments of education she is up-to-date,
and her attainments well
qualify her for the position of coun
ty superintendent, for which office
she is a candidate on the republi
can ticket. If you have any doubt
of Miss Thoelecke's ability, ask any
member of the city school board.
Under her superintendency the
schools of the county will advance
more rapidly, more thoroughly and
more satisfactory than they have
