tt was on the fateful day Fri
day that Bryan received his thin
uo initiation for the presidency.
Bryan says that if he Is elect
ed he will not be a candidate foi
re-election. The question tha
aiost concerns the nation is
.what will be his attitude foui
years hence in case he is no
elected.
The main burden of Chairmai
Clayton's speech at Denver wa :
President Roosevelt. After tin
burdening himself by such a dis
play of wrath , he should feel like
a loyal democrat. He maele nc
political capital however by slur
ring the president of the United
States.
Question : If Pennsylvam ;
was not so hopelessly rcpubli
can , would Bryan have scarce
Ouffy or would he have made
liis peace with him as he has
with Sullivan of Illinois ane
Murphy of New York and as he
did with Crolcer in 1000 by say
ing , "Great is Tammany ane
Crolcer is its prophet1 ;
There are many able men it
Ihis city and elsewhere who woule
be insulted if you were to deti }
their belief in democratic princi
pies , who arc opposed to Bryai
for president. They of course
will not openly denounce him ane
his policies , but those who an
close to them soon see that the ]
regard him as the greatest dicta
tor that the country has eve ;
known. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The markets on last Monda ]
morning as given by P. S. Hca
cock & Son were as follows
wheat 80 cents , mixed corn 7 (
cents and white corn 7f > cents
outs JO cents , Hogs $0.25 ane
cattle going up so fast that we
are afraid to quote. Bryan says
the country needs a change ane
if elected he will see that ;
change is made. Mr. Farmer ;
do you want a change ?
Be patient if the weather : seem ;
a little too warm for comfort
Good hot weather with an occa
sional rain will insure auothei
large crop of corn for this state- -
Wheat is yielding nicely , the croj
of tame hay was heavier than ii
has been for years , and pastures
have bet'ii exceptionally good
Sunk.s .Vst you can and con
"rauil.itc juure'.f : because of oui
count ) i splendid prospects.
Bryan says his committee wil
take no money from corporations
What rot ! Corporations are a :
legitimate as partnership or in
dividuals. Under such a ruling
Bryan would take no money fron
any of our three banks , from tin
Vinegar factory or any othe
local corporate body. The Trib-
tine is a corporation and we don'
feel any the worse for it. Bryai
is quite willing to take monej
from the individuals who fern
the corporations , but will taki
nothing from the corporations
If this isn't the act of a dema
gogue we will stop guessing.
Kern. Who is John W. Kern
What qualifications has he fo
the vice presidency of the Unitee
States ? First he is a democrat
second he has been city attorney
of his home town anel was enc <
3. member of the Indiana legisla
ture ; third he has been twice de
Seated for goycrnor of his state
These are his qualifications. Hov
do you like him afl a man win
might be called npon to act ai
the president of United States
Reflect on this a little my demo
zratic friends.

Anel now the devil is to pay ,
The republican state central
committee placed a Taft banner
across the street at their head
quarters in Lincoln and at once
the hotel keepers , street rail ,
way magnates and saloon keep
ers who expect to make a little
money out of the pilgrims whc
will visit Bryan this summer
raised a howl. The banner was
cut down one night by some
misguided enthusiast and the
committee will raibe it again.
The ordinary republican will
fail to see why the party should
go out of business for the bene.
lit of the hotel anel saloon men
of Lincoln , Cincinnati , the
home of Sec. Taft has several
Bryan banners Hying and we
havn't heard of anyone cutting
them down. Ii Taft banners
cannot lly in Lincoln it might
be a good idea to move the
headquarters to Omaha.
Bryan says , "Guffy of Penn.
sylvania is a boss" . "No more
of boss " "than
a , replies Guffy ,
I was in 1890 anel 1900 , when a !
Bryan's request I contributed so
largely to his campaign" . Bry
an says "Guffy is a corporation
man" . "No more of a corpora ,
tion man than when I was when
helping Bryan in 189G and 190C
with his knowledge anel at his
request. Then I was all right ,
because I was for him" , contin.
ued Guffy. "Now I am all wrong
not because I am a boss , neither
because I am a corporation man
but because I am opposed tc
him" . Bryan excoriated Roger
Sullivan of Illinois in 190-i when
Parker was a catulielate , anel
called him a boss and a "politi
cal highwayman" . Now he and
Sullivan are political intimates.
If Bryan is looking lor bosses ,
why not take a tall out ol Mur
phy of New York ? The reasons
Bryan scores GulTy anel not Sullivan -
livan and Murphy arc two ; the
lirst because Pennsylvania is
about 250,000 Republican , while
New York anel Illinois might gc
Democratic ; the second is. Boss ,
es Sullivan and Murphy are for
Bryan , while GulTy is against
him.
Lincoln seems determined tc
put the Republican national
ticket out of the business so tar
as it can for the reason thai
Bryan is an asset and the capi
tal city needs the money. The
Taft banner is cut down in the
night , the State Journal devel
opes what Mr. Dooly calls the
"Judicial tempiramint" to ar
extent that leaves its readers ir
doubt as to its politics , and the
cabbys arut hotel keepers a n e
moist emporiums ring up the
cash registers at the expense o
the visiting Bryanites with r
regularity altogether pleasing
to the town of daylight saloons
However , the great body of Re
publicans throughout the state
are not entirely absorbed witl
the idea of Lincoln's prosperity
The rank and file ol the partj
are too far removed to hear tin
tinkle of the bell as the barkeej
rings the register. The tire or
the altar still burns in the rura
districts and Taft and Rooseveli
are still names to conjure with
The truth of the matter is thai
Lincoln has been the most con
sistent beggar on the corner ,
Never a legislature without it
commercial club , its prominenl
citizens , its newspapers , mer
chants and its plethora ot states ,
men appealing for appropria
tions. The Regents of the uni
versity are besieged by Lincoln
merchants to the point of des-
peration. The members of the
legislature arc told of the needs
of the public institutions in Lin.
coin until they take to the high
grass for protection. The avar
ice of Lincoln is a by-worel and
has been for years. The next
legislature will be Republican.
The next legislature will watch
Lincoln's vote this fall as will
the thousands of Republicans
throughout the state. The Re.
publicans and the Republican
legislature are willing to be
shown , anel having once been
shown will profit by the experi
ence. _

The following letter from a
Democratic member of Congress
to Mr. Taft is only indicative of
the feeling of many Democrats
toward Mr. Taft and their dislike
of the Denver platform and its
candidate. Coming from a Denr
ocrat , it is good reading.
JKKSKY CITV , July 10 , 1908.
Hon. William II. Taft , Hot
Springs , Va. My Dear Mr. Taft :
I cannot subrcribe either to the
candidate or the platform of the
democratic convention. The con
servative citizens of this country
who are neither reactionary nor
the representatives of predatory
wealth or special interests , but
who desire a rigid enforcement oi
the law with equal justice , must
look to you for protection against
the wave of radicalism and class
prejudice which will follow the
Denver convention. You will have
my vote on election day and if ,
during the campaign , my services
will be of any value to your na
tional committee , I will cheerfully
tender them. Very respectfully
yours ,
