Edgar IIowurtl'H charge against G. W. Hitchcock as being one'of ox-treasurer's Horl ley's defaulting creditors was the sensation of the latter part of last week. Mr. Hitch cock's denial of the charges and ex planation of the transaction puts thu matter In a more favorable light. Howard claims that he has a num ber of other loiters of similar Irnpor to the one of which ho gave a fac simile photograph last week. Homo of thorn may bo required before the j , case Is fully thrashed out. It Is > really too bad that /lrothern / of the same political faith Cannot more sat isfactorily divide their spoils. Mr. Hitchcock's Defense. On Monday morning one week ago , Mr. Hitchcock replied to Edgar Howard's accusation as follows : "Yes , " said Gilbert M. Hitchcock in reply to a question , " 1 have read Edgar Howard's Insinuation that I had borrowed state funds flfton or twenty years ago and that I still owe money to the state. I have also road his statement that the insinuations lie makea will force mo to retire from the ticket. Both statements nro false. 1 never borrowed atato funds and do not owe the state treas ury any money. " Yesterday morning Mr. Hitchcock admitted that he had borrowed moro than ? 1,000 from Mr. Hartley saying "Originally the loan had been fern n larger amount and was made at the tlmo that Mr. Hartley waa in the banking and money lending business at Atkinson , Nob. Ho Was consid ered a man of wealth. My recollec tion is that the original amount waa two thousand dollars. It wau bor rowed four years before ho became it flnf niilf fit * * * 'The money was borrowed from Mr Hartley while he was state treas urer ; not from Mr. Hartley as treas urer , he claims , but from J. S. Hart ley banker and mony leaner , of At- klsson , a small town in Holt county , nearly two hundred miles northwest of Omaha. There Is evidence nt hand that Mr Barlley was not in funds before his election as state treasurer , but that when his bank failed In 1897 he had n deposit of $55,000 thore. Mr. Hitchcock's task Is to prove that the money ho borrowed did not come from the stale treasury ; that Mr. Hartley did not use his little bank In Atkinson as n convenient means of loaning to personal and political friends money ho controlled as state treasurer. It must bo said In nil ca dor and without a shade of vlndict- IvoneEB , that up to this time Mr , Hitchcock has failed to make a sat isfactory showing on that point Hut ample time must be given him fet furnishing ovldcnco before public condemnation is passed upon him. State Journal. 1 The Hroweries at Work. Since the breweries and their sup porters have not by the use of theh money boon able to turn the tried from Ihe support of Aldrlch for gov- 'j ' ornor , they have put tholr mud mills lj to 'manufacturing slander against y him. A few facts woven into a tls- n sue of falsehoods concerning a dlv- | orce case with which Mr. Aldricl I was associated as nn attorney , n few years ago Is the base of the attack They have to make his character ap pear blacker than Dahlnmn's confcs slon made his own to bo. z Conceed itll that Is said of Dahl man and Aldrlch is true the qnes tion of theprinclplo nt issuols not changed. They both may bo the best or the worst men of the state That docs not change the situation They each stand for principles thu differ as greatly as day and night It Is not n question of which Is the hotter man. It Is. the question o whether the voters of Nebraska arc lu favor of the mean power of the country controlling ; Nebraska o whether the bettor class shall ronml In charge of the ship of state. A vote for Da hi man Is a vote fo Dalilmnn's platform which declares that if ho is elected the majority ehall not rule , if his vote will pro- He- vent it. Aoto forAldrlch moans the enforcement of the present laws and that the majority shall control. There In no question wliort-tJioso two men st.tnd on law enforcement and county option , If the legislature shall patB a law on that quoflllon. No body hns oVer questioned that whether Dahlman or Aldrlch is elect ed but what ho will carry out the principles for which they stand. I5o not be fooled by the slander ous stories the breweries and tholr hireling ! ! afo publlalng against Aid- rich , the republican candidate for governor. There Is no question but ho Is HB clean n man morally an Is Mr. Dnhliuun. the democrat ccandl- dato. It Is the principles represent ed by the two men from which you are to chooso. Kdnr ; Ivanl'.s I Proof. In response to a demand for proof of bin charge- that G. M. Hitchcock , , candidate for the United States sen- atornblp. WUH connected with the Hartley strto treasury ncandnl of fifteen years ago Edgar Howard pub lltshrR In 1 IB imwr , the Columbf Telegram , n startling fas simile letter - tor written on World Herald statlon- arynndsigned by (5. M. Hitchcock. If ! addressed to "lion. Joseph S Hartley , state treasurer , " not to J. S. Hartley , personally. It reads as follows : THE WORLD HERALD I Personal. Omaha , Nob.

This Is the most extraordinary ox- posureyet made In connection with the Hartley defalcation. Only once noioro nas nnyuiing IIKO it appear ed in print. N'lne yearn ago almost to a day the World Herald drove Regent Goold from the republican state ticket been use his bank had borrowed a thousand dollars of state money. When ho facts became know through the blackest of the World Herald Head lines , Mr. Goold tend ered his resignation to to the re publican state central cammltteo. Mr. Howard has exceeded all ex pectations In the suddenness and dumbfounding nature of his evidence The state will nowawalt action by Mr. Hitchcock with lively Internal. The proper course for him to take , unless ho Is nblo to prove this let ter to be a forgery was outlined by his own paper in October , 1901. State Journal. Spot-lal Correspondence. Washington , D. C. , Oct. 18. Thor probably Is no question of more vital importance today to Nebraska than that of developing Its vast territory In the northern and northwestern section of the state , particularly that country which comprises the sixth Congressional District. In late years this section has shared liberally at the hands of congress In the matter of land legislation , the const ruction of Irrigation projects , erection ofn nninhQr of fine federal buildings , ad ditional mall facilities , etc. . which has nmdo II possible to create thous ands of now farms , Increase the aprl cultural output , and materially benefit - fit the commercial centers of the Btato. Although the development of this section of Nebrncka has only been realized during the past six years , It has , according to government fig ures , been the direct cause of In creasing Nebraska's population olvor 100,000 or more. Furlhermors , Ne braska has become the first dairy atato In the union , the government officials contending that the Kln- knld one-section hoomstoad law hav ing boon the greatest factor in bring ing abouf the success of this Indus try. The development of this section of the state has boon brought about largely by the untiring efforts of Congrossmar M. P. Kinkaldwho en tered the housoln the winter of 1903 Every hit of the legislation effecting Its progress was constructed and placed upon the ptatuto books by him His ono-EccUon homestead Jaw open od to Hcttlomont cloven million acres of the public domain. Of Ihls area only 1,750,00 acres remain untakcn. Mr. Kinkald figures conspicuously an a member of the Houae commltte on Irrigation , llo worked hard to obtain the construction of 'a largo Irrigation project which Is located In the western part of the Sixth Dis trict , and Is now In a position lo beef of special service to his constltutontu whoso Intciosts will bo affected by ( his great public enterprise. Ho wa identlfiod v , 1th the passage of a bill In theIIouso last session authoriz ing the Issuance at' $20,000,000 boner or certificates to aid in the comple tion of the Nebraska projocl and other Incompletcd irrigation works licattorcd over the west. When Kinkald waa elected to Congress gross , the sixth district had never received an appropriation for a pub lic building , although all the other Nebraska districts had secured sev eral such structures. Ho secured first for Kearney nn appropriation for a postoffico building. North Platte then came In for a building to house Ihe United Stales court , postofflce and land office. However Mr. Kinkatd first secured an act making North Platte a place for the holding of the Federal Court which carried with it an appropriation of $110,000. When the bill designating the var Ions cities and town in the state for the holding of Federal Court session was under consideration the Nebras ka do' ' 'gallon was plunged into one of the ; nosl vigorous fights ever cn- cottntc ed among Us members. Each Sennto and member fought with a view o' protecting his own Individual Interests. Kink&id would agree tone no prorrnm outlined bytho dclogntlo unless t\vo or moro towns wore desi gnated In the Sixth District The delegation as well as the committee on judiciary , at first thought this district was not entitled to more tliMi one place for holding Federal Court , but , by persistent fighting Kinkatd secured two places North Platte and Chadron. During the last session a rule was adopted by the committee on public buildings allowing a member to In dicate his choice of but one propo sition , the authorization of a public building site , or the authorization ol the construction of a Federal Build ing on a site hitherto provided for Notwithstanding this arrnngcmeti of the committee In distributing Its public building appropriation prizes Congressman Kinkald effecled the 1 corporation in the gorcrnl bill of tw Items providing for the purchase ol sites for buildings at Alliance and Chadron. Each of these towns wll receive $15,000 for the sites. Al Alliance Hie slto will provide for n building to house the postoffico land office and government signa station. The Chadron site will be occupied by a building for both the Federal Court and post office. Ap propriatlons for the buildings a these two points will bo provided fo lu Ihe next public buildings bill tha passes Congress. There Is another feature of Congressman grossman Klnkaid's legislative worl which commands him lo Iho people He has always been loyal to the Oh Soldiers of the Civil and Spanish Wars and their widows In securing original and Increased pensions through the pension office and by promoting special private bills In Congress In behalf of the many to tally disabled votrans who failed for one reason or the other to establish tholr cllams In the department. At the opening of the last session Mr. Kinkald introduced a general bill Increasing the pensions of ol'd soldiers. This measure had the In dorsement of the national Tribune , which is the official organ of the Grand Army organization. It was not possible to secure a hearing be fore the house pensions committee on this or any other pension bill last , session , but Congressman Kinkald hopes to Interest the committee In his bill at the coming session this winter.
