12 THE ALLIANCE -INDEPENDENT. Stand up for Nebraska next Tuesday. If you have your country, do your duty on November 8th. Shkadeh will run ahead of his ticket In Majors' own county. At a rough guess we would set down McKeighan's majority at 8000. Sknd in the returns to the state com mittee as promptly as possible. Tom Majors can have one consola tion: Ho will have his bluo shirts. We hope to be able to publish tho re sults of the election in next week's issue. AFTER election wo promise our read ers loss politics, and more general reading matter. A VOTE for Weaver and Field will be something to bo proud of as long as the voter lives. How to mark your ballot: Put an X opposite the name of each independant candidate. It will be a grand day for General Van Wyck when, after all his years of battling, he dethrones the corporations. A vote for Weaver means a vote for principle. A vote for either Harrison or Cleveland means a vote for the money power. Jndepedents of the third district, stand by Poynter, work for him with all your might, and he will bo triumph antly elected. . ... Alabama and North Carolina are sure for the people's party, and there is an excellent prospect in half a dozen more southern states. Now comes the report that tho inde pendents will defeat Church Howe in Nemaha county. Can such good news be true? W. II. Dech has stood by the princi ples of tho independent party for twenty years, and now the people will stand by him. The republican state committeo has made up an estimate of the results for bluffing purposes. They "claim every thing" as usual. It is high time Nebraska had an able educator, and broad-minded man for state superintendent. Trof. H. H. Hiatt is just that sort of a man. It will no doubt be a source of en couragement to the independent voters in all parts of the state to know that we will poll a heavier vote in Lincoln than ever before. The independent boys of Lincoln are getting a great move on themselves this week. There has been a torch light procession and a good meeting every night. If Eggleston should get the voto of every man whoso interests he will work fur, he would not get over a hun dred or two. If Leonard should get the votes of all whose interests he will represent his election would be almost A 00BRE0TI01I In our article on state property pub lished la3t week we stated that a desk belonging to the state might be found in tho private office of ex-Auditor Bab- cock in Lincoln. It appears that our informant was mistaken, and we cheer fully withdraw the statement. Also wc think It likely our informant made a "slip of the toDgue" in speak ing of a young lady typewriter in Tom Benton's office, and that he meant to say Tom Cook's office. Incidentally we will remark that we stand ready to correct any statement publishedln this paper, whenever it is shown to bo untrue. We have been very careful In otir statements, and do not intend to do anybody an injustice. We understand Tom Cook, Brad Cook Capt. Bax, Johny Allen, Tommy Ben ton, George n. Hastings, J. E. Hill, (ius. Humphrey, and several other peo ple are very angry at us. If the charges we have made are not true, wo will cheerfully correct them whenever these parties see fit to show up the facts. Wo don't expect them to do this for the best of reasons. In this connection we publish the following card from Mr. Howe who gave us part of otho information concerning state furniture: Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2, 1892. Editor Alliance-Independent: Not wishing to do an injustice to any man I take this opportunity of making amends to ex-Auditor Babcock. I was in error in regard to a desk in his pos session, uy making a personal exami nation I find he bought a desk of Hardy and Pitcher in May 1800 and I hasten to set him-right before the public I am according Mr. Babccck more than the press of this city . will accord mo. I have been maliciously misrepresented and have no paper behind me, and the authors are not men and will not come before the public and retract. " Yours for justice, M. Howe. AFEAID TO SHOW UP. A few days ago the editor of The Alliance-Independent went to the state house to look up some matters of record in the secretary of state's office. Wo politely asked Secretary Allen the privilege of looking at a certain record book. That individual (gentleman, we were about to say, but will not out of respect for the word), turned white with rage, and replied in a most insolent and in sulting manner that we could see no records in that office. Tho statutes guarantee to every citi- izen of Nebraska the right to examine all puttie records. At first we thought of securing a mandamus from the su preme court, and com polling the petty tyrant of the office to show up the rec ords. But remembering the short time he has to stay in we decided to let it pass. Allen's object in refusing to show up the records was doubtless two-fold. , First He has had as much exposure as he wants. Second He wanted to teach the editor of The Alliance-Independent that he must truckle and cringe at the feet of a petty tyrant in order to get any information from that office. It will take him a long timo to do it. When Allen's time is out we hope to be able to do business with a secretary who is not only a gentleman, but who keeps no records ho is afraid to show Up.
