Vote for John C. Gammill.
A VOTE for Weaver is a vote for
Cleveland. Tote for the gallant
and patriotic and wise Harrison.
STAND up for Nebraska by voting
ing for the manly young parson
"W. E. Andrews.
A VOTE for Crounse is a vote for
conservative , business-like admin
istration of the affairs of state.
IT might be a pretty good ideate
to have a solid republican north ,
uot necessarily fo : victory but only
as evidence of loyalty and common
sense.
GOVERNOR BOYD as a letter
writer cannot be said to be a total
failure. Unlike Cleveland , how
ever , he says just what he means
and means what he says.
DON'T fail to vote for the amend
ments to the constitution. Ne
braska should have an elective
railroad commission and the
school fund of the state should be
loaned out to the school districts
with which to build school houses.
From now on no republican
should pay any attention to the
side issues , which the democrats
"are evidently bent upon forcing
into the present campaign. They
have nothing to do with the actual
questions involved in the national
fight. The chief issues in this
campaign are protection and hon
est money. Nothing else is vital ,
and all the rest can wait.
HON. W. E. ANDREWS is made
o that manly stuff which warmly
recommends him to the suffrage
of the people of the Fifth con
gressional district. Clean , able ,
brim full of work and enthusiasm ,
he merits a splendid , patriotic sup
port , such as Red Willow county
will take pride in bestowing upon
him on Tuesday next. With all
thy voting , vote for Andrews.
IN his speech at Nelson Mr. W.
McKeighan , our representative
in congress deliberately said to his
audience : ' 'Invest $2,000 in a
farm and go to farming in Ne
braska , and I will tell you what
will happen in five years ; you will
have a first class sheriff's sale. "
Independent farmers , do you hon
estly believe he told the truth , in
the face of the fact that farms
have been sold in this county ,
seven and eight miles from town
for from 85,500 to $7,000 ? And
do you believe that kind of talk
will help you to sell your farms to
those Illinois buyers "rope" them
in at the above prises as it
were ? We don't believe you can
support a man for congress who
defames your state and depreciates
your property. It isn't good
sense. Juniatn Herald.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
Chairman Carter Dissects It in an Inter
esting and Vigorous Way.
Mr. Cleveland's letter ofacceptance
Is conceded to , be the weakest document
that he has given the public. It was
generally criticised as a pitiful attempt
to straddle all the doubtful issues of the
campaign and make enemies of nobody.
Hero is what Chairman Carter of the
Republican committee said of it :
It is rather difficult to figure out from
Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance pre
cisely what he believes about anything.
Ho starts out by saying that ho is more
than ever confirmed in the belief that
all the things which he has heretofore
believed are true and excellent. I sup
pose that' nobody will doubt Mr. Cleve
land's regard for his opinions. Still in
the present situation , the Republican
party having declared plainly and ex
plicitly in a tariff so devised as to protect
American industries while raising the
revenues necessary to support the gov
ernment , and the Democratic party
having explicitly declared that such an
arrangement of the tariff is unconstitu
tional , it would have been interesting to
know whether Mr. Cleveland agreed
with the Republican or Democratic the
ory.
ory.It
It will be remembered that in 1884 Mr.
Cleveland ran for the presidency and
was elected on a platform which stated
that the Democratic party simply de
sired to reform the tariff , and that in re
forming it they did not intend to disturb
existing industries. They said that they
were aware of the fact that many in
dustries depended on the protective tariff ,
and that all changes of existing law
must take note of the interests of the
labor and capital invested. This was
one of those characteristic Democratic-
dodging planks which was intended to
mean , and did mean , anything to any-
body. Mr. Randall stumped New York
saying that it meant protection ; Mr.
Hurd stumped Ohio saying that it meant
free trade ; Mr. Mills stumped Texas say
ing that it meant an income tax ; Mr.
Watterson stumped Kentucky saying
that it was exactly in line with the views
of the star eyed goddess of reform.
But the Democratic convention of
1892 , when this identical plank was pre
sented to it by its platform committee ,
overwhelmingly threw it out , and by a
vote of 546 to 342 the convention de
clared itself for free trade pure and sim
ple. To have regard for any other pur
pose , it said , in devising a tariff , than
the one purpose of raising revenue , was
unconstitutional. In dealing with this
plank Mr. Cleveland has twisted in evi
dent distress. He means what the plank
means , but does not dare to say so. In
stead he says he believes what he always
believed , and that everybody knows what
he has always believed , and that that
ought to be enough. Finally he says
the people cannot be frightened by the
specter of impossible free trade , which
means , if it means anything , that the
people must have confidence in him and
his party , because they do not really
mean what they say , and have not the
courage of their convictions.
This is certainly a , curious ground on
which to appeal to intelligent people for
their suffrages. The Democratic con
vention declared at Chicago in favor of
the repeal of the 10 per cent , tax 011
state bank issues. This has excited the
profound alarm of every believer in a
stable currency the country over. Those
of our people who lived before the war
will remember the condition of congress
and affairs when everybody was per
mitted to start a bank and print slips of
paper called money to the extent of his
inclination. Millions on millions of more
or less worthless money floated around
the country , nobody knowing precisely
what the bills he had in his pocket would
be re'ceived for at the bank , nor indeed
whether they were genuine or counter
feit.
feit.The
The Republican party is fighting in
this campaign for protection to Ameri
can industries and American labor. The
Democratic party is fighting for free
trade. Mr. Cleveland dodges the issue.
The Republican party is fighting in this
campaign for honest money dollars of
equal value , and that value 100 cents on
the dollar. The Democratic party is
fighting for wildcat money an unlimit
ed issue of meaningless paper. On this
issue Mr. Cleveland is silent.

GIVES HIS REASONS.
Mr. PhlUeo Tolls Why He Will Not
Supportthe People's Party
Ticket.
Ayr , Nob. , Oct. 17 , 1892.
To THE PUBLIC : I hereby give
notice that I shall not vote the
people's party ticket this fall for
the following reasons :
Iirst Because there is no
possible show , as I believe , to carry
a single state for the national
ticket , for General Weaver has
been rotten egged and driven from
the canvass in the southern states
where he went to break the solid
south. While in Georgia where
the people's party and the republi
cans did combine the democrats
carried the state by 75,000 major
ity , increasing the majority ovei
the last election 25,000 votes. I
want to say to all that General
Weaver is not in it ; the contest is
between General Harrison ncl
Grover Cleveland , and every vote
cast for Weuver is a vote foi
Cleveland , who , in four years as
president vetoed G79 bills , 524-
pension bills and one the depend
ent pension bill which was eight
years under consideration by con
gress and was passed by a large
majority a democratic house of
representatives. This bill has
passed a democratic house and
been approved by Benjamin Harri
son. 1 see that republicans , demo
crats and independents alike have
and are receiving their just dues
under this bill. Of the private
pension bills vetoed by Cleveland ,
I shall call attention to but one ,
the case-of Sally Ann Bradley ,
wife of Thomas Bradley , 24th
Ohio , -who enlisted in 1801 , and
was discharged in 1865 remaining 3
through the war. He received a
gun shot wound from which he
died in ' 82. Mr. Bradley had four
sons , all of whom entered the
army in ' 61. Two were shot dead
upon the battle field , another had
his arm shot off , and the fourth
had an eye shot out , both these
sons being disabled from earning
a living. They had no property ,
and Mrs. Bradley over seventy
years of age , went to congress and
asked for a widow's pension and it
was granted , but Grover Cleveland
vetoed it , and on the same clay he
signed a bill putting Fitz John
Porter , the traitor , on the retired
list at S3,500 per year. Be it
remembered that the twenty-two
presidents in ninty-six years
vetoed only 109 bills , therefore I
shall vote for Harrison and Eeid.
Second I believe that Hon. J.
H. Powers was elected governor of
Nebraska in 1890 and was counted
out by fraud , and that he was kept
out by treachery and bribery by
his own party who had a large
working majority in the legisla
ture , and they refused him even
one hour in which to present his
contest as permitted by the consti
tution and laws of the state ; know
ing as I do that John H. Powers
has done more than any other man
to make and build up the people's
party in the state , and he is strict
ly honest in every respect , and a
man who , through this campaign
would have added thousands of
votes to the party , when a re
form party will side track such a
man as John Powm-s. mirl in his
stead nominate for governor such
a demagogue and corporation tool
as VanWyck , who in congress cast
every vote in opposition to what
he now professes to be right , and
who in 1890 was published as a
traitor in the following language :
LINCOLN , Oct. 8 , 1890.
To all members of the independ
ent people's committee , and the
voters of Nebraska :
It having become evident that
Mr. YanWyck has turned squarely
against the independent movement ,
and is using his influence to de
feat the independent candidates ,
we recommend that he be not iu-
vited to address independent
meetings nor given an oppor
tunity to use his unfriendly in
fluence.
GEO. W. BLAKE ,
Chairman State Central Com.
C. H. PHITLE ,
Secretary State Central Com.
I say knowing these things as I
do , and knowing that no man can
successfully deny them , I shall
give my vole to Judge Crounse
for governor , whom I also know to
be an honest man and also his
running mate T. J. Majors.
Third I cannot vote for W. A.
McKeighan , becausa he is not , I
know , a clean , honest man , and his
record does not show that he has
the best interests of the state of
Nebraska at heart ; neither is he

, Neb. JONAS ENGEL , Manager.
an independent or tlie friend of
the laboring man. He talks free
trade and an income tax to raise
the necessary revenue to run the
government , yet he has been two
years in congress and has not in
troduced a bill to bring about
either. I want to call attention
to the fact that two years ago
when the vote was canvassed for
state officers and representatives ,
and the announcement that Boyd
had been elected governor , Mr.
McKeighan went to Omaha and
attended his democratic "blow
out , " and was one of the principal
speakers on the occasion to the
chagrin of all honest independents.
And again be it remembered that
in the fall of 1890 the independ
ents in every convention demanded
the reduction of the legal rate' of
interest to 6 per cent and that the
state alliance which met in
Lincoln , but a few days before the
legislature convened , passed a
resolution demanding the same.
Now I want to say that McKeighan
went to Lincoln and lobbied
against the bill reducing the rate
of interest to 6 per cent. He is
down on National banks , but he
goes to one to sell a cadetship in
stead of giving it to an honest
farmer boy. He pretends to be
khe enemy of soulless corporations
yet he rides on one of their passes.
In accepting the nomination two
years ago in Hastings , he said
shat he was in favor of service pen
sion to every honorably discharg
ed soldier ; based upon the time of
service. Has he introduced such
a bill in congress ? I say no.
For these and other good reasons
[ shall vote for the farmer boy W.
E. Andrews. .
In conclusion I want to say that
[ am an independent and anti-
monopolist , and have been for
years , and have cast my votes that
way , and I shall coutiuuo to do seas
as long as I live , but I will not
vote for men whom I know to be
; raitors or unfit to represent decent
neople. I stand on every plank of
the people's platform and shall
stay with them , but I cannot go
with the party on its free' trade
cruise with the democratic party ,
nor in its support of men whom
: hey themselves have published as
: raitors. Give us honest John
Powers and men like him for lead
ers , but with YanAVyck , Mc
Keighan and their like in two
years more , we wont have a cor
poral's guard left to bury the
party corpse.

THE TRIBUNE is reliably informed

we understand that Mr. Belles asks
these Christian men to vote for him
because he is an infidel. Or is this
another of Mr. Bolles' sneaking tricks
