It may bo interesting to give for
what It is worth some information vol
by John N. Baldwin, of Iowa, who has
been here this week trying to fix up the
railroad tax case for tho Union Pacific,
in whose department ho is retained. In
a loquacious mood Judge Baldwin de
clared: "We arc not bothering about tho
governorship any more. That's been
settled. Wo had a conference a day
or two ago, and WE- ALL AGREED
ON MICKEY AS OUR MAN."'

The foregoing article is perfectly in keeping with the
abject cowardice the Times has ovor displayed. Whenever
the Times wants to roast a man good and hard it just waits
until the man is gone beyond the possibility of defending
lumsolf against it and then fires off its whole mud battery
of abuse and misrepresentation at him. It took the Times
a long time to discover that republican ranchmen were be
ing persecuted. Colonel Mosby had been here several
months and during his sojourn here the Times was very
careful not to say anything derogatory of him or his work
although it knew both perfectly; but the colonel has been
gone a week now probably is in Washingtoi so it thinks
it is safe in making an onslaught.
And of all affairs the Times has misrepresented even to
absolute lying, no previous falsification is falser than this
one. Tho Herald docs not attempt nor jvish to defend
Colonel Mosby; perhap9 that would bo uhneccessary if it
did, as ho simply followed tho departments instructions.
His work hero inconvenienced and wronglid far more people
than if benefited in any way. Although from tho large
number of ranchmen who have complained of tho trouble
they were to be caused Dclatour'a statement docs not seem
to be either untruthful or unwarranted, even though ho is
not a republican, tho country would be better off if tho
Department of the Interior would let matters pertaining to
the fencing of government land rest until the matter can
bo adjusted with less expense and trouble to ranchmen.
But be that as it may. The statement that republican
ranchmen were tho men who were especially harrasscd and
persecuted by Mosby is absolutely false. Whatevef threats
he made or whatever severe measures he took they wero
done regardless of tho political bclcifs ,pf tho ranchmen
against whom they were directed. In fact Coloihcl Mosby
seemed to have no preference as to his associates, politically
or otherwise. All ho cared to know was that a man had
government land under fence, and he began operations
against him. In one case a man from Dawes county sent
in a complaint against a neighboring ranchman, and fol
lowed it up with a withdrawal of the complaint and a request
that tho matter be dropped. But not so Mosby. He sent
the writer word that there was just as much government
land in his neighbor's enclosure then as before he made
complaint, and proceeded to order down all fences required
to free the government land in that ranch, That has been
his method of procedure in Colorado and all states he vis
ited before coming here, and he naturally became odious to
the ranchmen of this section, as he had to those of other
sections where ho had Lcen.
The political part of the whole transaction begins here:
as the Times says, a great many of tho big cattlemen of the
section are republicans. Mosby's work, if carried out,
meant the loss of thousands of dollars to them. No appeals
to Mosby had any effect, as he was simply following the
department's instructions. If tho politics of ranchmen had
had any influence with Mosby .whatever, tcqucstsmade him
by republicans would have been granted, as he has been a
staunch republican ever since the beginning of tho recon
struction of Virginia, having held a federal job of some sort
at the hands of republicans ever since he was made consul
at Hong Kong under Hayes with the exception of Cleve
land's democratic administrations. Seeing any requests to
him wero of no avail, petitions accompanied with threats
were Bent to Nebraska's two republican senators. Senator
Deitrich wrote requesting Mojby to come to Hastings and
confer with him regarding the matter, and Senator Millard
wrote requesting him' to come to Omaha for tho same pur
pose, to both of which the colonel replied that his work lay
here; if they desired to sec him thoy should come to Alli
ance. Seeing nothing could be done with the department's
obdurate representative and knowing the surest relief would
be gained bv threatening to bol from the party, the matter
was laid before the department, representing that unless
Mosby were recalled the cattlemen of this section would use
their means and influence to defeat the republican ticket-r
that the thousands of dollars loss that his work would occa
sion them meant more to them than a republican victory
this fall. Their appeal proved efficacious. Mosby was rq-j
called over a week ago. ' .
Tho facts are sufficiently well known that the republi
can leaders of this section are worrying lest the administra
tion's zealous representative has already injured their
chances for a republican majority from this section of the
state and arc seeking every fair or foul means to hide the
real motives which led to his recall from this "district; and
ns the above grossly false statement of the case, trying to
throw'the blame for the trouble caused by Mosby upon
democrats, shows to what extent they are exercised over
the affair. Whatever willful misrepresentation the party
leaders may desire, all thoy have to do to spread the reports
they wish is to give the Times directions concerning the
matter and it will fix up a string of myths and pipe dreams
that almost more than fills the bill. In this present one,
for instance does anyone suppose for a moment that Mosby, '
a republican, would act upon the advice of democrats to the
injury of the party to which he owes his appointments
Does the Times think the people of this section so unin
formed as to this republican administration's representative
that it can make them believe he was one of Grover Cleve
land's henchmen?" Doesn't the Times know that it is a
well known fact that it was Grover Cleveland who let Col
onel Mosby out of the consulship at. Hong Kong? That it
is also a well known fact that Mosby has held fat federal
jobs only at the hands of republicans? That everyone
knows lie is too shrewd a politician to do anything he knew
would bring the party to which he. owes all into disfavor
with the people of any section of the country? The Times
certainly underrates the intelligence of the people of this
part of the state if.it thinks it can make them believe the
childishly gotten up fable in its Tuesday's issue. The
Herald is well aquainted with the inside of the whole deal
and has here published the exact truth regarding it. It was
not a political manoever in the beginning, but when the re
publicans saw the administration's appointee had run them
into a hornets nest they beat a hasty retreat and tried to
make it appear that the democrats had thrown the stone
that stirred the nest up. That's the extent to which tho
"watchful republicans" have made "nefarious discoveries"
regarding the "persecution of our stockmen." The people
know better. If the g. o. p. leaders want to pull tho wool
over the people's eyes they'd better use a smoother instru
ment than the Times to do it with.
As to Mosby's return: the interior department for some
time past, ever since range difficulties assumed any promi
nence, has been causing these fences to be torn down. It
is not at all likely that they will make an exception of this
one case. The suspension is doubtless only temporary,
the length of suspension dependent only on the time they
consider necessary to the party's success.
