Judge Pout In liodgo County.
FIIKMOVT , Nob. , Oct. 27. [ Succial to Tun
Duii.1 The people of Dodge county , irre
spective of part- , have been favorably dis
posed toward Judge Post from the day of bis
nomination. Through his long service OH
the bench in this district they huvo learned
to esteem him most highly as a man and to
regard him ns an exceptionally clean and
able Jurist. So when tbo democratic party
managers decided to make no nomination In
the place of Broady mid lutor pulled their
candidates for regents oil tba ticket they
wore compelled to go cither to Post or to
Edfc'crton. They have been going in great
numbers to Post and when the ballots are
counted ha will bo found to bavo a largo
majority over Edgorton in Dodge countv.
Nearly nil the best known democrats of the
county are giving Post their hearty support.
W. H. Mungor , who is well known from
Omaha to Ogullula , says : "I am for Post
because I bollevo him to bo an able and up
right man , whose ability is of a much higher
older than that of bis opponent. "
Prod W. Vnuhan , a democratic attorney
whoso practice In Post's court bus led him to
admlro tbo man , says : " 1 am satisfied that
Post is the ablest man of the two. "
Otto Huolto of thu hardware linn of Theo
dore Huctto & Son , has boon an enthusiastic
Post man since the uuy iiroudy withdraw
from tbo democratic ticket.
Dr. N. U. Brown is another democrat who
is an out-spoken friend of Post. "I bellovo
In Post , " suld Air. Brown. " 1 know him to
bo n man excellently qualified for the place
mid I am well satlsllcd that his opponent Is
not , I nm nho of the opinion Hint Post has
been outrageously abusoil und misrepresented
in the vllo attacks which have neon made
upon him and I do not bcllovo in voting to
endorse such violations of decency. Post is
a good enough candidate for mo. "
J. O. Lee , for many years a democratic
member of the city council , Is unqualifiedly
for Post. "Ida not thlnklulll bo found
voting for Edgorton , " said Mr. Lee. " .My
party has no candidate In the Held and T feel
at liberty to take my cholco of the others and
therefore I must vote for Post because I
know him to bo au excellent man for supreme
premo Judgo. I would never vote for Edgor-
ton. "
These are samples of expressions showing
the democratic sentiment in Fremont. In
other parts of the county the fcoliug is Just
as strong for Post. In tbo north part , where
everything is overwhelmingly democratic ,
Post will got a largo majority. J. I' . Smith
is working for him , Jobr. M. UioH is betting
money on Post , and so U John lionborg and
hosts of other democratic lender * , whoso ef
forts will all assist in swelling Port's ma
jority on election day.

of flvo years. Ho was put to work in tlio

panied by n letter , presumably signed by
N. W. Baptist of the 11 rm o'f Baptist As

said :
Business Moil IndifToront.
It must bo confessed that both hero and In
other parts of the eountrj those i > niiigi > d In
business pursuits hive Uopt too miioh aloof
from public alFalis and bine too cenerally
acted upon the theory that neither their duty
as citizens nor tho'r personal Interests re
quired of thorn tiny habitual participation In
political movements. This Indllleienco and
Inactivity ha MI resulted In a losstoo'ir publlo
service. I am firmly of the belief that If a few
business men could bu substituted for
professional men In olllelal places the
pcoploould positively gain by thu
exchange. And It lu stranuo to me that our
business IIUMI liaio not been quicker to sco
that tholr ne.'leet of political duty Is a con
stant damtor to their Inteiests They may
labor and plan In their conntln ; : houses or In
tholr exchanges , but | n the inuiintliiiu laws

ha\o lelezated to thn iit'ilo campilxn now

topics which should be discussed In the prose
cution of this campaign.
What Should he Dmunssuil.
It has been contended that the canvass
should be conllncd to vtuli ) Issues
and It has neon claimed hat
national Issues should he most promin

to bu that both aiu proper tmb-
jects of discussion at this tlmo ;
und. In the presence of this
assemblage , called to.iut.hor to consider the

employ by av of discovering the leglllmauy
of any tnplo In the pending camp iltfn Is to In-
qulio v > holli'rlUicounuijledlili.lho uood ot

nudJWto whbtnSrlt vlll bo lt all Jplliieneod
by the results of thu ( innvuvH. fan jiuy om1

Hike place one year henceID this view the
pioiiur adjustment of the tnrllFlilcli con-
UCIIIH , not on'y ' all our people , but the com
merce nnd the business of oin city , should bo
discussed. Til's ' , und the question of Hound
currency , cannot bo separated fiom the busi
ness Interests of our state ; mid ihoy should bo
put befiuo our people now for tlio purpose of
Inviting their thought and Nettli.i ; tlielr opln-
IIIH. Appblnz this Hamo test , it. Is cnlliely
plain that an economical administration ot
sfto a Hairs and the numerous other sub
jects having rcforoncot to u just .honest
and beneliclonf stutu go\ eminent are
In a business sense Important and
legitimate.
Democracy Always Hl ht.
In all these questions mo Mew
York democracy Is tight , nnd Is willing to dis
cuss them In any pluuu or at any lime. Hut
our opponents , apparently seeking to avoid
the discussions of KiibJoatH legitimate to the

are shrieking throughout tint Htuto the de
merits nnd dangerous piocllvltles of n eert tin

that , oven if all they aileize fi ulnst thin or-
ganUallon were true , the perils our oppo

absurd. Hut It HOI ins to me the argument ot
such a question belittles nn Imuoiliint Hit na
