Its a vote f r Mc'Kinloy and your own govern * mont or a vote for Aguinaldo and his supporters. Republicans , got to the polls curly next Tuesday , and see that all who believe in sustaining the present administration , and the continuation of the present good times , are there before the polls close. Vote the republican ticket straight , and you will never regret it. When you go to the polls remem ber that Horace F. Kennedy served you your country faithful and well as a soldier. Ho became incapoita- ted for 'khard labor by reason of a bullet wound in battle. Ho was your substitute then , will you go baok on him now ? When you vote for F. E , Van. Antwerp for surveyor , you will have the oonpoliUion that ho is neither a crank nor a fanatic , yet a first-class citizen and a thoroughly competent civil engineer , Whore ho is known best , in the southwest part of the county , ho will got his best vote. The old soldiers of Ouster county who know that Eli Armstrong , the pop candidate for sheriff , absolutely refused to play with the band on decoration , at Westorvillo throe years ago , when they sought to honor their dead oomrada by strew ing flowers on their graves , will cot break their nocks when they go to the polls Tuesday to vote for him. If any one doubt that ho did , write Mr. LoSorvo , an old sold ier of Wostorvillo. The populist speakers Boem to have had a very hard road to travel this campaign , The voters do not attend their meetings in largo numbers and when they do they have frequently been opposed by their own parties , Several instances have boon reported where only 4' 0 , 10 , or 1C were present. Then at West union , Wester1 ? ille , Milburn , Dale and a Dumber of school houses their own people bavo publicity opposed the speakers and in some instances gave their reasons why they could not longer support the pop ticket. Caution to Voters. In marking your ticket , do not bo misled by the words "Silver Republican. " Thoao words nro only intended to deceive. Sean your ticket carefully , and put the cross only opposite the word "Republican , ' ' whore it stands nlono. The silver republican is n fuaionist. As will bo noticed from the following , which is copied from the sample ballot , the word Republic , following the republican candidates , is sot back from the square in which you should place your X as far ns possible : SAMPLE. ( Peoples Independent , ] WILLIAM NEVILLE" . V Silver Republican. j MOSES P. KINKA1D Hopulicfui , Remember you cannot vote a straight party ticket by making ono X at top of ticket an you did last year. You must make your X opposite each name you want to vote for. Got a sample ballot before you vot0 > and study it until you BOO exactly whore your X'H should ba made , Walt George is the people's choice for county treasurer , Ho is a farmer and stookraisor , end his sympathies are with the farmers , as ho is ono of them , while his com * potitor is a merchant at Call away. Then George is a thorough busines man and a good accountant , which makes him the ideal candidate , and assures his election. If Fred CummingH should hap pen to bo elected , a thing of whioh there is not a ghost of show ho would have no raorq use for that Scotch cap of his that ho is wearing in this campaign ; his head would bo so swollen that a largo sized wash tub could hardly pass down , over it- Ho is afflicted anyway with a bad case of ohronio swell head. Do Not Bet. Republicans do not bet on elec tion it is a violation ot law , besides it is a scheme of the pops to got as many bets as poesialbo and then have you challenged at the polls for betting on olootinn and thus knock you out of your vote. Do not bo caught. The opposition ia getting desperate. Wo have hoard hundreds of pops swear they would never go into the demooratio party. Nojthey just wouldont bo led therol How is it now , Mr. pop ? are you going ? Where a former [ republican of the pop party gooa baok into the repub lican party , you call him traitor , but former democrats can lug the \tholo party into democracy and it is all right. V. 0. Talbot having boon raised on a homestead in Custor county , until nearly grown , \vhero ho on. gaged in farming for his father ho knows the trials of the early settler and the hardships of farm jUfo. It is for this reason that the farmer has his dyiuathy and approoiation. Besides his father having baen a soldier in the civil war and ho himself a sodlior in the Spanish Amoroian War the old noldior has in him a warn friend * The same can not be said of his opponent as the facts arc very different. Notwithstanding the dire predic tions of Bryan , in 1800 the , impor tations in the past two yoara amount to 8205 , 300,020. loss than those of the last twenty four months under the Wilson law , whioh added that much to the manufacturing intersts of the united states , while the Dingloy law yielded to the uni ted states $40,050,705 raoro i rove * nuo } in the first two years than did the Wilson law , in the same length of time. Yet there arc editors and spekors who denounce a protooiYo tariff. Judge Sullivan begins to show evidence of great mental distress from the painful experiences ho has in listening to the incipient Domoe- thonoaos and Wohstors , who belabor their audienooB , Just aa soon as a pop gets a nominrtion ho thinks ho is also "called" to bean an orator and to save the country. It is reported that Orr , Osborno , OummingB , Armstrong and Sohnor- ingor are making aomo inightyjhefty speeches , Lester ought to Ir'ro another stenographer to take down these speeches. However Lester don't know just whore he's at since Mr. Pigman used him up in debate , Lester should see Si at once and find out what to say. Claria Talbot , the popular young man who is running foi sheriff en the republican ticket , is making friends every day among tl e people. Captain Talbot ia not life infant the pop papers represent Irm to bo , and if elected sheriff ho will make the best officer the county bos had sinoo Charles Peun made Ouster county a warm plaoo for evil doers. Courier , Judge Armour's record the past two years as county judge , has been highly satisfactory. Even the pop oounty attorney has taken most of his oases before' him whioh could just as well have been tried by a justice ot the peace. This alonu is an evidence that Judge Armour is not a partisan on the bench , and that fair , honorable treatment is given nliko to all who como before him , Look out for Ballot Frauds. The pops state three men who engineered the imfamoua recount fraud-iu 1897 jiro in absolute control of the popooratio machinery. It is bolived they have planed to follow their old practise , Word baa gone , out that two or three votes'must1 bo * gained in eaoh/'preoinot by any moans , Will theyinstruct the p"bp clerks of election to gain that num ber of votes by tallying a republi can vote opposite a pop and , then make the republican clerk come to bis tally. See to it in every poll ing places that the vote is fair and the talloy is honest. All wo ask is justice. ' That will elect our state and oounty ticket. When Bryan urged the democrats and populists of the U. S. senate to approve the treaty of peace with spain ho then and there committed himself and all his followers to all the conditions of that treaty. That treaty made the Philipioo islands part of-the United states possess ions and when it booamo part of the United states that moment Again * aldo booamo traitor and an insur gent. For Bryan or any American citizen now to condom the war is to give aid and oonfort to our enemies in war. In short it ia treason. Bryans atituda has forfitod , all the allegiance of persons or party that may over have boon duo him. It would bo an insult to our soldiers , our nations'history and our flag to longer give aid or oonfort to snob follows , The Nebraska Blizzard , non par tisan , says ; "Tho ropulioans nominu nI. B. Reese for Supreme 'Judge. Mr. Reese has boon on the supreme bench before and was turned down by the machine ropdhlioans because ho was a clean and ant-machine man The better. eloraout of the republi can party seems .to bo in the sadlo and are putting the best iuou for * ward , Mr. Reese will give Mr.Hol- oomb a hot chase and if elected will do honor to himself and the party that nominated him , " The eun ot popocrats U setting , And the ere Is drawing nigh , When a llood of votes will cover All iho hopes of "ellppery SI.

Ury n leep with' "Slippery HI , " Some of the pops of West tinbn prooinot suggest that Judge Aimour accept Cnmmings chall enge for [ debate and give Freddie all the time. They say no surer way could bo devised to defeat Fred. Those who have overheard Fred practising in the canyoas , say ho makes things sulphurous. It don't seem that any ordinary man like Judge Armour would do Fred justice , May bo John M. Thurston could bo induced to tackle him * It will ho a loss to the world that oan never bo ropaicd if Cummings speeches are left to ooho unheard in the canyons of West union prc- oinct , His fund of knowledge must bo a vortitablo klnndiko of politioal wisdom. Informed pops openly admit that their party can not srrvivo. They realize that it is being swallowed by democracy. The only excuse now in keeping up thn pop organization is to fool the honest voters who still hope in their party and rofuoo to go bodily into the "whales belly" . It has been predicted for years , by honest pops that fusion would kill the party but these prophets have been politically stoned till the party is about dofunct. Just the same lorcesB that destroyed the old "Greenback Autimonopoly Party" unless there IB a vigurous protest at the polls , this fall will witness the end of the pop party When are these "Sacred Principles" to go ? Horace Kennedy , our candidate for clerk cf diptrict court , 'in spite of the mud that IB being thrown at him by the opposition , is growing stronger as the campaign advances. IIo is a soldier who Ins been in capacitated for hard work by a wound receivad in defense of the flag. His opponent , Orr , Jis also a soldier , but did not pass through the hardships that foil to the lot of Kennedy. Besides this , Orr has laid a good long pull at the public crib in the capacity of deputy sheriff , a positionin ! which > bo dis tinguished himself on but one occasion , this is * when ho allowed a criminal prisioner > to walk .iway from him. in broad daylight , through Orrs carelessness and lack of attention to his business. Courier. Did you ever see 'Tumble-Bugs rolling their ball ? They teach a great politioal lession. You have noticed the ball grew larger and argor so long as it rolled in dirt , you also noticed that it grow larger jy t'hinga sticking to it. You know the ball has no life of its own , or to put it in the language of a great statesman , it grows "By no reason of its own" Well that is just the way itho democratic party jrows' It just keeps rolling over and over , and growa by things sticking or. to i t. It has rolled all over the "Greenback party , ' , and is. now rolling all over the /pop party. Bryan , Ilolcomb and Co. act just like old tumbling-bugs. They ride on the ball and look wise while the poor voters go backward and push. This is the way Bryan and Holoomb superintend the offi cial eggs in the democratic ball. Whoop-or.up. pops ! "Whoop-o-o. " The Beacon is the mouthpicco of the Boal-Shinn combination to got Shinn's relative , Fred Cummings into the county judges' toflico , is leaving untired no disreputable method to prejudice the voters against Judge Armour stands in with the gamblers and lets them off easy whenever ho has > any of them before him. For personal investigation of his charge wo learn that it is absolutely unfounded , and every attorney in the oounty knows it. All of the gambling casts tried in the oounty are bought by the oounty attorney , and they properly oomo under the jurisdiction of the justio of the peace. The oounty attorney is a populist , and ho has made a gocd record in prose cuting gambing whiskey cases. If Judge Armour is friendly to the gamblers , why is it the populist bounty attorney [ poicists in having those cases tried before him instead of some justice of the peace ? Lot us sco if thu Beacon will answer this conundrum , Courier. KINKAID'S SUCCESSFUL CAMAIUN- Lincoln Journal : Judge M. P. Kinknid is making a marvelous campaign , not in speeches , red fire and band wagons , but in results. There never was a cleaner , more upright polished gentleman ever nominated for an office , As ho goes quietly over the district , the dignity of his character , the uprigt- nesB of hia life and the [ modesty of lir demeanor as.in . each striking contrast to the material furnished L > y the alleged reformers that Neville , like Cain , is crying for mountaing to profo in their [ solemn duly. The wiittor has known Judge Kinkaid from the day ho tried his first law suit to this hour , and in a1 ! that time there ? has never boon a personal , social , politi cal or business act for which any friend had to apologize or thut an enemy today can critioiso. In all the desperations bon of such defeat there is no ono solitary act connec ted with the judge's long political career in the state to which they dare allude. Every actthon , known , strengthens him. No pep can deny that tin pop party has the corpration candidate for supreme judge. Do you remem ber , Mr.pop how the Bopcon and all pop papers lauded Reese a few years ago ; Yes Beal , Stookham , Dean , Hiatt , Painter and Webb all were vociferous in the praise ol Judge Reese , a very few years ago. Pops are wodorful atblots in politi cal somersaults , Were the "dear pooplo"consultcd when the county board ordered the 1808 taxes collected , by distress war rants ? What kind of men constitute this board ? They are all'pops , but one. They are the same follows who lot off Huso Brown and Judge by promsing to pay about ono half of their dnbt to the county. The pops are truly great finaciers. It is certainly true for the rofer-end- over-end em to bo to the pops. The pops are becoming great ex pounders of the ideas of Thomas Jefferson , but wo vent.uro they know as little about Jefferson as they seem to know about A uinaldo- Jefferson was'Very far at least from being a pop * Read what Jeffersans said Oct. 28 1813 in a letter to John Adams. "I agree with you that there is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and tal ents. This natural aristocracy I consider as the most precious gift of nature for the instruction , the trusts and govrumeut ot society"- How docs the idea of virtue and talents strike the average popocrata as a qualification for office. Had Jeffer son's ideas been carried out there would not have been BO much finan cial loss to Ouster oounty , by pop officials. Jesse Gandy was in a few days ago making a roar against the Chief for crediting him with soiling four head of cattle , as agent when he sold lour herds. But Jesse has no right to kick and wo protest for the Chief. To have acknowledged that ho had sold four hundred cattle in the past month , would have been an evidence of prosperity , whioh would have been inconsis. tent for both the Chief and Jesse , just now on the eve of election. You Should Vole for Armour. Ho has proved a faithful and honest official. Ho has boon true to the trust reposed in him. lie baa not loft hia office , in neglect of hia duties , to travel over the county to persuade men to vote for him , but has remained at his office where his duties demand his presence , and for which ho was elected , lie is a man the office sought. Ho was nomi nated two years ago against his pro- testb. Every unbiased voter realizes that it is not the office seeker that makes the best public servant , Judge Armour has proven it , The Chief's suggestion that he might hire a clerk and go on the stump at his own expense , but proves what their candidates would do , By Judge Armour remaining in hie office and attending strictly to the duties of hia office , the receipts of the ofii'jo will not only pay hia sal ary , but will give $400.00 , a nice little surplus to turn over to the county an excess of fees. Have you ever heard of a pop judge turning iny fees in to the treasurer ? Last Av ' year , after paying his olork biro , M4.00 , the receipts of his office only lacked $20.40 of reaching the limit. Had the judge hired a olork , as the pops suggested , the money would como out of the oxooss and nt the coat of the county. It wan , 1 after wo stated in the REPUBLICAN ' on the 28lh of September , that Judge Armour would not go out in the campaign , that the pop committee - < tee nought to make a politioal point by issuing their challenge to him , to debate with Fred Cummings , Had they wanted to test the qualifi cations of Armour and Cummings , why did they not call for a commit tee of jurists to give them an ex amination on questions of law ? Simply because they know that Cummings could not stand the tost. Judge Armour has tried more civil and criminal cases than any pre > vious county judge in the same length of time , and nearly twioo as many probate matters have been brought before him. Yet the only thing the opposition brings against him is that he has taken , in all that array of busineee. two bad bonds , in gambling cases , hence they say ho is the gambler's friend. Now a sufficient answer to this is , at .least , so far as the opposition is concerned , that the county attorney , Kirkpat- rick , has brought every gambling case that ho has begun , and forty- one other criminal cases ( all that ho has brought but four or live ) before the judge , that might have been begun before any justice in the county , and there are four justices in Broken Bow , and just as convenient - veniont ns Judge Armour. This shows to any fair man that the judge has not only taken bonds , satisfactory to the county attorney , but that the attorney behoves ho receives fair and just treatment , as well aa a propar interpretation of the law from the judge. If this ia not true , the county attorney must stand in not only with gamblers , but with all other criminals. In short it is well known that the in tended slander is entirely without foundation , and unworthy any one's belief. ' I & \VIIITIS , i rop'rt.
