CHERRY COUNTY INDEPENDENT
A FEW REASONS WHY
Ucforc the next fcsue of this paper goes to press the campaign in
this siiite and county will be closed the election will bo over and the
votes counted During the campaign Vc have to the best of our abil
ity supported the straight democratic ticket both state and local and
we hope our efforts have nqt beeil fruitless We have supported the
ticket not alone because tye are a democrat not alone because we de
sired to defeat republicanism these things in part caused us to sup
port the democrat ticket but the primary cause is the fact that the
democratic nominees are betteiwrien for the positions to which they
aspire than are their opponents Should the majority of the voters
believe otherwise well and good we will trust to time for a vindica
tion of our position However in this issue we desire to make a last
appeal to the voters of Cherry county and present to them a few rea
sons why they should vote the democrat ticket
Republican state officials have during the last few years robbed
the state of almost a million dollars the republican supreme court
jpade it possible for the state treasurer to steal 200000 of the per
manent school fund the supreme court has almost invariably given
decisions against the common people and in favor of the corporations
tfre court needs renovating even as the other state offices needed
vating Will not republicans assisir in the renovation The rebuke
to corruption will do then party good After a general turning down
of rascals a party can consistently ask support on grounds of honesty
and purity Coming to local affairs many republicans will vote the
democratic ticket because they know there is not an incompetent man
thereon not a man who is figuring on prejudice to elect him not a
man who was nominated by any deal or on account of any promise
not a man who was nominated because he was the first man thought
of Every man was nominated because of his fitness for the place
This is a fact which appeals to lovers of good government and there
aremany such inthe republican party They will vote the democrat
ticket because they lack confidence in their own That the leaders
have that same lack of confidence is shown by the difficulty encoun
tered in getting a chairman to assume the responsibility of the cam
paign Republicans know they are weak and the democratic ticket
appeals to them by its strength
Popnlists should support the state ticket Though the head of
that ticket is a democrat he was nominated by the populists as a par-
jtial reward t0 the democrats for their votes last year Pursuing the
oner discharged Judge Patterson of
same plan they -will vote the connty ticket They know that their
county convention was run by a ring and that honest delegates were
duped by lies to serve the rings purpose they know that the demo
crats last year supported the same national state congressional sena
torial representative and county tickets they did when but two men
on those tickets were nominated as democrats Knowing this they
will if they believe in fairness vote the democratic ticket They
cannot conscientiously vote the republican ticket because their princi
ples are so diametrically opposed they cannot vote their own ticket if
they believe in their own doctrine and are opposed to rings and dirty
methods in polities and here is where the democrats come in Their
principles are much the same their nominees are all free silver men
they are all clean well qualified men and they were not nominated
by any ring or clique Populists have three good reasons for voting
the ticket straight to obtain good officials to rebuke the ring which
thwarted the will of the majority to do observe the golden rule A
number of other reasons exist but these are the principal ones
Democrats should vote the ticket straight from top to bottom for
more than one reason They should vote it because it is democratic
they should vote it because it is the best ticket in the field because
it represents all parts of the county because the populists have said
there are no democrats and the republicans hope to gain democratic
votes they should vote the democratic ticket because they are oppos
ed to ring rule and in favor of honest government because they were
refused assistance by those they have always helped democrats should
vote the ticket because they can elect it and once in power they need
uever again pose as a supplicant for favors from any other party be
cause if they dont vote the ticket the name democrat will become
a by word in this county Make a X under the rooster
The battle will soon be over and if we as democrats stand solid
for our ticket victory will perch upon our banner and our friends the
enemy will realize the significance of the crowing rooster as the em
blem of democracy The contest is for good government and but f or
party names there would be no doubt -about the election of the entire
democratic ticket The nominees of the -republicans and populists
are all said tc be good honest fellows and while we doubt that the
compliment can honestly be paid to all of them well let it pass
no good honest fellow will make a good public officer unless he is
well qualified for the place and his honesty may be sorely tried if he
enters office with a corrupt ring influencing him either the ring or
the office must be neglected Voters mUBbthink of these things and
if they think deeply a vote for the democrat ticket will be the result
Why is it that the populists are do
ing their best to down Metzger if he
is not in the race Why are both re
publicans and populists fightiDg Bal
lard so hard if he is the weakest man
in the Geld Why are the republicans
jumping sideways and pulling against
Childers if theyre not afraid Strong
will be defeated by him Why does
everybody stick to it that Adamson is
the best man in the field unless tbey
intend to vote for him and think he
will be elected Echo answers wbv

VALENTINE CHERRY CO NEBRASKA THURSDAY OCTOBER 28 1897
Word reaches us that the populists
and republicans especially the latter
are reporting throughout the county
that Metzger is making no race for the
position of clerk This is a mistake-
and on a par with the canard to the
effect that he would not accept the
nomination Metzger is making a
hard pull for the clerkship and he be
comes a greater favorite every day
