M HEADYFOR ACTION
Nebraska Kepublicans Prepar
ing to Reclaim State.
Chdrmaa Lindsay of the State Central
Com mitt Formulating Plans for
Vigorous Campaign Concerted Efforts
to He Mad to Redeem the State From
Fusion Vires.
Appreciating the potency of an edu
cational campaign, and Imposing con
fidence in the sagacity and intelligence
of the electorate of Nebraska, the re
publicans have opened up headquarters
at the Her Grand, in Omaha, and are
preparing to conduct a vigorous cam
paign along this line.
The campaign in Nebraska will be
directly in charge of II. C. Lindsay,
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, and he will be ably assisted
by competent men at the nead of the
various departments who will devote
all their time and energy to reclaiming
Nebraska from fusion mismanage
ment. President McKinley.
Looking out upon a peaceful sea of
prosperity bequeathed to them by the
statesmanship of McKinley it was in
keeping with good judgment and sound
reasoning for the republicans in na
tional convention assembled to attest
their appreciation and gratitude by
unanimously choosing William McKin
ley for their presidential candidate. In
the four years he had been at the helm
of state he had not only banished dis
tress from the doorway of millions of
American homes, but he had gone forth
to a struggling people of unhappy isl
ands and torn from their limbs the
chains of servitude and silenced for
ever the sovereignty over them of one
of the most merciless monarchies
known t modern history.
The Vice Presidency.
Mindful of the importance of posi
tive and experienced statesmanship,
the republicans placed, as second on
the ticket, that sturdy compatriot,
Theodore Roosevelt. There are few
name3 in American politics better
known than this, and none more sym
bolic of nonesty, fidelity and intellec
tual and moral qualities. Roosevelt
had won his position in popular confi
dence in the open forum, where as sol
dier aiW civilian he has exhibited 6uch
qualities are found only in the most
unsullied type of American citizenship.
A man of lofty patriotism, broad and
progressive ideas, schooled in the.
science of government, he Is a strong
companion-piece to McKinley and his
candidacy bears with it an assurance
of honesty, patriotism, care and cir
cumspection in the administration of
public affairs. Roosevelt may justly
be claimed by the west as its represen
tative, for, though a resident of New
York, he has for many years been in
t created in the stock Industry in the
Dakotas and has spent much of his
life on the frontier. No man in public
life is more mindful of his duties.
Whether his task te to stand between
the people and rapacity, or to lead a
column of soldiers against a death deal
ing storm of shot and shell in the cause
of humanity, as he did at San Juan
hill, it is all the same. Manhood is
there and it asserts itself.
McKinley and Roosevelt both men
of splendid type. Both possessing a
Judgment that Is profound. Both
stand for conservatism in public af
fairs for peace at all times when war
can be avoided without dishonor and
consistent with the decrees and obliga
tions of humanity. They are opposed
to militarism, and they both are op
posed to a large standing army. War
Las only been accepted as an inevitable
and unavoidable obligation. They and
the republican party favor the main
tenance of only such a standing army
as will suffice as a nucleus in the event
of foreign complications and as is suffi
cient to maintain law and order at
home. The object of the American peo
Dle as typified and set forth in the re
publican party is, not to subject dis
putes to the cruel arbitrament or war,
but to settle all disputes at home and
abroad without resort to force. No
nation was more ably represented nor
more outspoken in favor of peaceful
arbitration in the settlement of inter
national controversies at The Hague
peace conference than the United
States, and the representatives of the
United States in that conference bore
their commissions from William Mc
Kinley. Had ne favored military rule
as a function of government it is not
likely, in a conference held to suppress
military rule, he would commission
some of the ablest men in the nation
whose protests against military adiu
dlcation were so forceful and brilliant
as to electrify the world. At this con
ference the United States took the lead
in favor of universal disarmament and
in this the commissioners from the
United States voiced, not alone the
sentiment of President McKinley, but
the recorded sentiment of the republl
can party. .
Nebraaka Will be Watched.
In the approaching campaign no
other state will be more closely
watched than Nebraska. One reason is
that It is the home of the fusion can
didate for president, William J. Bryan.
Another and still more potent reason
ia that It Is an agricultural ana man
ufacturing state, and as such has been
largely benefited by republican pros
perity. Four years ago reDrasna, nyp
notized and frightened by the alluring
promises and startling predictions of
the fusion campaigners, and by those
of Bryan in particular, gave its elec
toral vote to the fuslonists. The peo
ple of Nebraska had faith In the pre
dictions of the "boy orator" and they
followed his leadership. He was (Mr
' -reated notwithstanding and his predic
tions have been exploded.
Bryan declared from the rostrum
that if McKinley was elected, farm
products would decline in value. On
the contrary, they have advanced .
He sail the adoption of gold stand
ard would precipitate a slavery of the
masses. On the contrary, it has re
sulted In better wageB, more money
and general prosperity. He said
through the free coinage of silver alone
could prosperity come. Free coinage
waa defeated along with Bryan and
such prosperity a3 thi3 country has
riiver twfnre known now Drevalls.
But Nebraska, though swept by ad-
TM-aitv from end to end under a dem
ocratic administration, which, barring
the silver proposition, waa a reminder
of what Bryan's election meant, gave
Its vote to Bryan. What will it do this
year? Will It still believe In a prophet
who has fallen and in prophesies
which when now held up before the
lamp of intelligence and experience ap
pear ridiculous? Will it turn Its back
to the advance agent of prosperity and
Its face to the advance agent of the sil
ver or bullion trust? Will it still Insist
on the government making it so that
the man who produces sliver bullion
can have Its value increased 100 per
cent, so that he may trade 50 cents
worth of silver bullion for a dollar's
worth of wheat, or corn, or labor, or,
will it be loyal to itself and Insist on
cettlnc 50 cents worth of silver or 50
( cents' worth of gold for 50 cents worth
wi wneat, corn or laDori " , . ,
Nebraska Otherwise Concerned,
And Nebraska Is otherwise con
cerned than in the ultimate triumph
of the national republican ticket. The
success of the congressional and state
tickets are of the highest importance.
The re-election of Congressmen
Burkett and Mercer should by no
means fail. Both have rendered splen
did service. Congressman Burkett
has, during his term, secured the al
lowance of 342 pensions, mostly for
veterans of the civil war. He has
been, like Mercer, . a strong advocate
of the rural mail service, and has suc
ceeded in establishing three of these
routes in his district, with more to
follow. He has also succeeded in hav
ing several additional postoffices es
tablished. Though not on the com
mittee, he was successful in .securing
an appropriation of 250,000 ; for im
provements along the Missouri river,
especial provisions being made for
Improvement at Rulo and . Nebraska
City. " ' - ' :
Congressman Mercer was - equally
successful in securing appropriations
and concessions vastly .beneficial to
the state. He is a firm advocato of ,
equitable pensions, and has gladdened
many a home In his district Dy success
in securing the allowance of a pension
claim. Congressman Mercer strongly
champions the rural mail delivery
system and has done much to encour
age it. Much credit is due him for
the Missouri river appropriation.
In the other districts the republi
cans have chosen their candidates for
congress from among the very best
and ablest men in the party. Every
one of these stands In strict accord
ith the administration, and their elec
tion means support to republicanism
as typified in President McKinley. It
should require but little mental energy
to determine the importance of sup
planting fusion congressmen with
these.
Fusion Sham Ileform. .
Fusion management is a stench in
the nostrils of the people of Nebraska,
Governor Poynter's administration
has made it so. Never before in the
history of the state has there been
such an exhibition of utter incompe
tency and political depravity. Never
before have the Interests of the peo
ple and of the state been so openly
disregard and trampled upon. Tnei
not a state institution that is not
blighted by dishonesty or cursed by
incompetency. The public patronage
has been divided up as spoils among
the politicians, and they in turn have
looted the treasury, and, In most in-
stances,wrecked the Institutions under
their care. Nebraska under the ad
ministration of Governor Poynter has
paid a terrible tribute to ignorance
nd incompetency. This applies
no more to Poynter than to the rest of
the state officials, particularly to the
Attorney General's department, where L
the people have been treated to an ex
hibition of torn torn beating tnat woum
startle the Chinese. -
The State Ticket. '
In nominating a state ticket the
republicans, having in mind the evils
of the fusion administration, and the
necessity of selecting honest and cap
able men, nominated a ticket com
posed of the strongest material in the
party. It headed the ticket witn u. H.
Dietrich for Governor, a man of wide
business experience and splendid judg
ment. In business and social affairs
Mr. Dietrich commands the respect and
esteem of all. He is not a politician,
in the general acceptation of that term,
but is a citizen who recognizes the
right of the people to summon him
to duty, and a compliance with that
request is at the same time an implied
promise and assurance that he will, j
if elected, perform that duty fearlessly,
honestly and conscientiously. The elec
tion of Mr. Dietrich will insure an
economic, business-like, administra
tion, and would put the institutions.

DEMISE OF F. H. WILSON
Telegram From Indianapolis An
lioiuic-CM His Death
Was a Ureat Shock to His Family and
Orbor Relatives In Plattsmooth His
Death Doe to an Attack of Pneumonia
Body Will Be Shipped to This Place
For Bnrlal.
From Saturday's Daily, -
Captain L. D. Bennett received a
telegram at 10 o'clock this morning
from Indianapolis, Iod., which an
nounced the death of his son-in-law,
Frank H. Wilson.
Whilo it was known that Mr. Wil
son had been sick for some time, it
was not' thought that his case was
soriou--. and the news of his death was
. , ., , .v,Q-
j?rent shock to his family and other
relatives in this city.
Shortly after the arrival of the rues
trage Mrl Ilonnott received a special de
livery letter from the physician who has
bren attending Mr. Wilson. This letter
was written several days ago, and it
t-oko in hopeful terms of Prank's con
dition, stating" among other things
that he was suffering from a 6evore at
tack of pneumonia, but he thought Mr.
Wilson would recover, as he had with
stood two previous attacks.
Deceased was an old-time Platts
mouth citizen and leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his demise.
About two years ago he went to Indian
aiK)lis and since that time has held a re
spond olo position as secretary for a
largo manufacturing establishment at
that place. Ho was a veteran of the
confederate army and shortly before
his dnnth hrtd planned to make a trip
to bis old homo at New Orleans.
HomiIo many other commendable
qualification.-, Mr. Wilson held the
distinction of bjing one of the best
pniitnen and accountants in the United
State. His abilities in the latter line
of work secured for him a good posi-
tion as examiner for the state insur
ance commission, and his services were
not only required in this state, but he
was often called to eastern cities to ex-
inline ine dooks oi insurance com-
pinies.
Mr. Wilson has many friends
throughout C.tfs county who will be
crievod to learn of his death.

the Scene of a Pleasant Gathering.
Delightfully pleasant was the garden
party given Friday evening by Mr. and
Mrs. Burton, Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell
and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Johnson on the
adjoining lawns of Messrs. Burton and
Twitchell. Myriads of lights, cosy
corners and tete-a-tete seats were ar
ranged to enhance the beauty of the
grounds, which are in themselves very
attractive with their wide sweep of
velvet grass carefully tended.
Punch was served on the arrival and
througout the evening to the thirsty
guests, an artistically draped flag
designating tho corner where it was
dispensed by a charming corterie of
young ladies.
Hotly contested games of croquet
amused the onlookers as well as par
ticipants, and for those who wished to
play card9 or other games, tables were
arranged convenient to the lights and
speedily taken possession of.
The News quartet sang several se
lections. A fair young lady told for
tunes, delicious ice cream and cake
were served, and the hospitable enter
tainers were every whero looking out
for the wants of the guests and insur
ing a pleasant time for all.
About 150 guests enjoyed this novel
and unique form of entertainment, and
if the clerk of the weather would al
ways furnish so perfect a specimen as
last evening there would be no inside
functions for the remainder of the
summer.
The guests departed at a late hour
declaring garden parties, conducted
after tho manner of this one, a decided
success.
IS IT KIUUT
For an Ktlitor to Kecommend Patent Med
icines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevaid,
N. C. It may bo a question whether
the editor of a paper has the right to
publicly rocommend medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have Known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many ca
ses a dose of the remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Dirrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and ad
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For
sale by all drugists.
Oarrlson Is Kedneed.
With the removal of two companies
of infantry from Fort Crook the garri
son will be reduced to one company of
about 100 men, says the Bee. South
Omaha merchants will fesl the loss in
business as the soldiers frequently visit
this city and, as a rule, make many
purchases here. Fort Crook City will
virtually be depopulated by the re
moval of the soldiers. At present
four ealoons are in operation there, be
sides a hotel, livery stable, etc. It is
thought that some of the saloons at
Crook City will close on account of the
moving of the troops.
While stationed at Fort Crook the
members of the Tenth infantry made
many friends in South Omaha and the
departure of two companies is re
gretted.
