Edmiston is still doing his best to kill off Governor Pointer politically and Las boon Bending out letters all over the State advis ing against a ro-mouitaUon. Some one did not just fall in with Mr. Edmiston idea and made the matter public. The result is a big upproar in the fnssion camp and in the end it will probably bo found that Mr. Fdmiston will have done himself more harm than ho has done any one else. If ho realy desired to hurt Governor Pointer ho should have come out iu support of the lattors candidacy , North Platte Tologragh. Edgar Howard , of the Papillion 'limes , who has been an avowed candidate for the nomination for state auditor on the fusion ticket , was neatly side tracked at Omaha last Saturday by the fusion con gressional convention giving him the empty honor of a nomination for congress against Dave Mercer , the republican nominee. Bryan was on hand directing the action of the convention. Howard hasn't a ghost of a show of being elected. Ho was only given the nomination to got him ont of the way of the state house bosses BO they would have less difficulty in nominating some one more friendly to them than Howard has boon. Boward Blade. The fusionests claim that Bryan is a man of pronounced convictions which be expresses fearlessly. Either the ono statement or the other must be untrue. The Sioux Falls convention recently took ac tion that vitally concerned Mr. Bryan's political welfare , but cither ho had no convictions regarding the action taken or he was afraid to express himself. Few will believe - liovo that ho formed no opinion , but many will believe that bo feared to state them because he I must lose some support and ho de sired the assurance of the Kansas City nomination before committing himself in regard to the action of the populists at Sioux Falls. If Mr. Bryan is entirely tearless he should buve stated his opinion on this question as teadily as ho has on others , even though it lost him a nomination and election , Norfolk - folk News. The railroad asseesmoutmado by the present state board of equaliza tion is two million dollars leas than it was in 1803 , when depreciation and shrinkage were doing their worst. The assessment of 1803 W s made by a republican board and was roundly denounced by the populists as a gross undervaluation of the railroad property of thp state , What then shall wo say when it has shrunk still a oouplo of million dol. lars more , while values have been returning , railroads are prosperous , gnd there is a great deal of now jniloago and many hundreds of krf.JT thousands of dollars invested in de pots , rolling stock and other im provements. The flub is not pre pared to say that the nnpnenment was too high BOVOII yoarH ago or that it is too low now , but ono thing is novortholrpR quito clear , that Governor Poyntor's administra tion has put the reform party of the state in an ombararsing position from which it can not well bo ox- trioatod , Kearney Hub. Kewiblicnn National Convention. For l'ioeldotil , Kor Vlco ( 'resident , Win. MoKiuloy. Theo. Roosevelt. The Republican national conven tion at Philadelphia on the 10 iust. did not conclude its work until Thursday the 2'2 , which made it too Into to give the result in our last issue. The work of the convention was most harmonious throughout and the result highly satisfactory to a largo majority of the voters of tie union. The only question of the convention was in selecting a a candidate for vice president to run with Willian MuKinloy. Sev eral candidates had their supportoid among whom was Roosovalt , Governor ornor of Now York and Congress man Deliver of Iowa , The sen timent was quito unainmous in favor of Governor Roosevelt , but * ho was not a candidate and in respect to bin wishes a number of his friends tried to turn the lido against him. But as the date drew near for making the nominations the sen timent had grown so strong for the Now Yorker that those who op posed his nomination wont to work with a will to got him to stand for the nomination. When his consent was secured all other candidates with draw and-his nom ination as well as president Mc- Kinluy'a nomination was made by the unamiuous vote of the conven tion. The convention wap ono of the moat enthusiastic over held , The platform adopted moots squarely - ly the issusos of the day and offers solutions for the questions under agitation. The following comments of the press gives an intellgcnt idea of the opinion of the public upon the principles it embodies ; Minneapolis Mliucn ( lad. ) There are no great suprisos in the platform. Its every declaration has boon long forrshadowod. It points to conditions and results and promises a continuance of such blessings as the country has enjoy ed during the last four years if the the people will vote the republican party another four years' lease of power. Chicago Inter Ocean ( rop. ) The republican platform square ly faces the problem * of expansion and offers for their solution prin ciples which all loyal and intelli gent Americans will approve. The republican party counsels no shrink ing from national duty and presses forward to fulfill America's destiny. With suoh a platform and led by a president whoso administration has made the nation victorious in war , prosperoua at homo and respected abroad as never before , the repub lican party will win. Chicago Tribune ( rop. ) The platform on which President MoKinloy stands for re-election is a pledge for good government in the United States and its now depend- oncioo. It is a pledge for a sound currency , for prosperity iu business and for the successful administra tion of the nation's affairs. It is a promise that under ropubhoan guidance there shall bo no tamper ing with tbo nation's money or cre dit , that unprincipled monopolies will bo combated , that legitimate enterprises will bo protootod and fostered and that the duties and pledges of the nation to its island dependencies will bo fulfilled. On the old issues and the now alike it maintains the high and honorable attitude of tbo party of constructive progress. It is a platform that voices the sentiments and convio lions of an overwhelming majority of the American pooplo. Chicago Uocoril ( lud. ) The framers of the platform of the republican national convention showed cleverness in one thing. They placed the money question in the forefront and dwelt upon it at length. They declared the party squarely in favor of the maintenance of the gold standard an established by law by a republican congrcsH , They denounced the democratic party for its adherence to the cause of free silver coinage at the ratio of 1(1 ( to 1. They lloutod the issue in the faces of their opponents , seem ingly daring them to stand by th position taken at the Chicago con vention in 1800. In this the re publican plalform makers wore shrewd , for the more they can center - tor interest in the money question as an issue in the coming campaign the stronger will tlm republican ticket bo with the voters. TJiLLB 1TB OWN SfOIIV. St. 1'ftul I'lonettr Proas ( rep. ) The piatform adopted by the re publican national convention tolls its own story. It is a story of pro mises fulfilled in a golden harvest of national blessings far beyond the measure of reasonable expectation ; of achievements for the wollboing of the Atnoricau people , for the na tional honor and the national glory , for humanity and tor liberty with out a parallel in American history or in the annals of the world. It is a story of duty wisely and brave ly performed iu steadfast reliance upon the common sense , the com mon conscience , the patriotism and the benevolence of the American people of a statesmanship whoso beneficent triumphs in dealing with the conditions of prosperity at homo outshine in their untarnished splendors even the victories achieved in the generous war for the libera tion of the oppressed people of ether lauds , The Mid Rooders Defended.

Editor RKI'UBLIOAN : Our attention has boon oallod tea a letter in the inane of the Custor County Chief oi Juno , IClh , under Iho flaming headlines of "a letter from J. R. Rhodes. " After n careful perusal of the epistle emanating from the massive brain of the Ex- County Judge ( ? ) Johny Rodenl Rhodes , wo are con. Btrainod to bolicvo that the "jedgo" iu fumbling ever bis mauuscripls , that he unintentionally exhumed his speech of acceptance , that was written some time since , ostensibly to spring upon the Senatorial Con vention in the event of his nomina tion , but not as a literary produc tion. No doubt but that the "jedgo" has fallen into the fatal error of talking to much. Whether or not the "jodgo" was dreaming , wo are not advised ; it may have boon th the ho was only soliloquizing and look ing for some pretense * for not allowing his name to go before the senatorial convention as the em bodiment of all that is good and pure in the populist party of Ouster county.

His manifested and pretended populism lasted only up to and in cluding his tenure of office , and before he became "superanuated oflioo holder" , ho was the first man to betray , besmirch and revile the character of ? man whoso populism was without question , his oflioial record was above reproach , his many manly qualities , Christian charity and bonovoolonoo shone out with ten fold more brilliancy end exceodud those of this great apoatlo OTHER FARMS FOR .By WllklilS CADtiEIiIi , Broken Boua land 80 acres iu oultivation , $1000.00 half cash , OAIIWKM. 480 acrou , black loam loll , rolling , ' f KKNNBUV 120 acres , rough grass land , 30 aores oultivatod half mile to school houo fiir doil , Sto'ojOO . * . onflli live miles from Broken How.

AnJ wo find him in trenched with malice aforethought , marshalling his hosts and emplor- ing the arch enemies of reform , entrenching them behind the breast works of populisim and made a cowardly asbault upon the first and only candidate that it was our mis fortune to lose , soloy and purely for the gratification of his morbid desire to injure the party irrepro- ably in thin county , that had honor ed him twice for the honorable position of county judge ; and that ho ( Rhodes ) tinning out that ho was no longer to be feared nor res pected by the rank and file of the party , dul and was accessory to and by the aid of certain democrats and jopublioans , was a party to the betrayal of the first candidate of the populist party that was over de feated in Ouster county , and at that time used his influence and vote for J. A * Armour , the republican candi date. Wo have no means of find * inc ; out , whether or not Mark Hanna'fi "barrel' , had anything with the "jedg es" conspiracy at that time or not , the "jodge" may know. If Mark Hannahs "barrel" didn't have anything to do with the "jedgCB" ilauk movement , will the "jodgo" kindly tell us what "in spiration" of"hunch" ho did receive , that prompted him to ono of the atrocious and dastardly political tricks that was tevor sprung upon an unsuspecting people. "Tho jodge" at that time sought to , and did sink into the lowest depths of political polution and besmirch the "judicial ermine" that wag foisted upon him by the very men that ho today calls "vicious and ignorant eot. Many very many of us have sup ported the "jedgo" upon his past party affiliations , ho assured us that his entire anatomy bore marks of populism , populism , such as that exemplified by the Hon. Peter Cooper , Solon Chase , Daniel Campbell and John Jofiooat , etal. , whom ho now tra duces and calls "political shysters. " The tatooing upon a more closer examination we found that ho had the . "hands of Esau and the voice of Jacob. " and that his masquerad ing as a populist was for "revenue only. " The "jedge" further sayp , that "middle-of-the- readers iu wo - - - our oppositson to Bryan , is false pro- tense. " "Principle least concerns us" and classifies us with ' 'Mo. Kinleyisim and Co. , " and the i.jsdgo says to assume such an admixture it ? mistaking hon esty for ignorance and vioiousness and that wo wore fusionists as lonp as we wore kept in office , and that as soon as wo wore reduced to the ranks wo oamo the party's deadly fee , " and the "jecfgo"- further says , that the fusionists liavo given UH the best county governor we over had , " When did the populists of Ouster county over have a fusion on Coun ty ofiioors , save and except the time the jminuses betrayed us and we lost our candidate for County judge ? That was not "fusion" it was poli tical treachery and you wag a party to it. There may have boon fol lows who have hold positions of trust and honor who arc now fuai- cnlets because they waut uu office and oau't get it , and if my memory servos mo correctly , ( and wo think it does ; ) that at the time the "jodga" made his debut1 in politics as a can didate for county judge , that the lopublicaus and democrats "fused" in the formation of a ticket that was ohristinod "A Citizens Ticket. " And by reason of the unholy alli ance and the opposition to the painciple of fusion the "jedgo" was elected by the largest majority that it was possible to give him , and the "jedgo" says "shame on such in gratitude and blatant dornagognory. " The "Jedgo"'bsays that Mr. 3ryan represents all there is in re- 'orm. It 10 to 1 , is all the reforms that we populists demand , possibly Mr , Bryan stands for that , but 'Jedgo * ' did you ever know a pop ulist that was ever in favor of a re deemable money ? Mr. Bryan's platform declares for coin redemp tion. Does the "Jodgo" believe that 10 to 1 , with a string to it , is the great panacea for all our politi cal ills ? The "Jodge" says "reform from the mouth is faith without'works. " Now the "Jedge" puts us in mind of the Irishmen's frog , ho is all head and month and has as little to his credit an a true reformer as any "supornaluatod ofliuo holder" that over uamo down the pike. And he further says that "tho only inspiration of the mid-readers will bo what they draw trom the Ilanna barrell , and that they will not lack funds to bring speakers from the distant clime of Alabama to Ouster oounty to preach the gospel of dis content and opposition to Bryan. That their impractical and vision ary schemes will be hocked all ever the country with a view of deooiv- inc the people. Yes "Jedge" we have had the Hon. M. W. Howard , of Alabama , "a speaker from a distant clime" to speak in Ouster county , and if the "Jedge" is doubtlul as to where we draw our inspiration , we will gladly show him our expense bill for the same. Wo are solely res ponsible for M. Howard's appearance - anco before a Ouster county au dience , Qand up to date wo have paid the freight , and have aot as yet , nor neither do wo intend to draw upon Mark Hanna's barroll for our inspiration either. ( The straw man that the "Jedge" put up And labels "Barker , " and attempts to give him a knock-out- blow by striking him 'in the solar ploxis , with vile ophitets and abuse , such "busted banker" as and at- ributing to him purpdrted 'and pretended tended interviews , availeth nothing and is a striking resemblance of the political "bushwaking" that the "Jedgo" is an adopt to. The middle.of-the-roadors in Ouster county and of the United States , arq the men who have been in the Vanguard of reform for many years past , and have been consis- tant reformers and not reformers "for revenue only , " nor have they been chasing after political phan toms and every false God of reform that in the past has mnsquraded for votes , with only a reform table as an iusigm , Our candidate for president , Mr. Barker , is a tried and true reformer and was a delegate - gate to the convention that norui. natod the Hon. Peter Cooper , and was a member of the committee on ruBolutioua , Ignatius Donley , our candidate for the vice presidency , was and is the man who wrote the Omaha Platform , which you Jedgo" got onto w'th both foot when you was a candidate for , Couh- ty Judge. ' $ Instead of wo rniddle-of-tlla- readers being the "deadly foo" arid the worst clement that you fusionists - ists will have to contend with , will depend largely upon tlio attitude and the "longtonu" and small bore political shysters that infeat the ' ' fusion ranks. , p , j The intention ofthe readers , is the open door , policy , fso that the vilest sinner may' return , and that the prodigal spn of - popu lisim may have a place where-4io may lay his head wj hout , .leaning pp against the democratic "party for bis support , and after the Kansas City convention , wo will welcome your return to the populist fold- with hospitable hands . upon the bosom of your pan'ts , that you may make amends for your political short comings and the error of your way and that the "bushwhacking" brand of politics , that now covers the broad part of your anatomy will bo effaced to such an extant , that you will not be a standing candi date for State Senator , "or any other old office , " but instead , will Htaud up for the principles of'popu- lisin , because it will bo more < comfortable fortablo for you to Htand than to sit.
