QTT3L C03CFLQCESTS TO 03EFSLDiIX
Editor Tsibuxe: Ou r attention
has been called to the following
from, the Rocky Mo nntain News of
October 8tb, 1S96, which for raean
ness, as weU as Annanlas-like ly
ing, stands to-day without a par
allel, even in this campaign of popo
cratic misrepresentation and de
ceit: "Joseph Oberfelder, of Sidney,
Nebraska, en thused over the mag
nificent parade of the festival, and
between words of commendation,
found time to express his opinion
that Bryan would carry the state
of Nebraska by twenty-five thous
and. The republican managers a
short time ago claimed the state by
fifteen thousand, but now say if
they can elect by two thousand they
will be satisfied- Says Mr. Ober
felder: 'Coercion is the method em
ployed to compel laboring men to
support McKmley. Employes of
the Union Pacific are compelled to
join republican clubs, and only a
few days ago a number of cowboys
rode into Stdnev wearing McKin
ley badges. I made inquiries and
found that the ranch where they
were working is owned by
an eastern bank, and that the Mc
Kinley badges were received trom
the east and distributed by the
foreman of the ranch, acting under
orders from the ranch owners. This
is a fair sample of what is being
done for them over the state The
Nebraska Silver Club of Denver is
doing good work in Nebraska, and
will result in much good for the
cause of Bryan and silver.' "
The author of the foregoing un
doubtedly rode over to Denver on
transportation begged from the
railroad company he basely viliified
while there- We who are so well
acquainted with the gentleman are
not surprised at all at this, for we
have known of worse to emanate
from the same source. We are only
led to think that the gentleman
must have forgotten himself when
he made the above statement, and
can even now hear him ask the
News man not to print it. Mr.
Oberfelder knows that the same is
false in every particular, and if it
is not, he has ample time to present
the undersigned with the names of
theemryecoercedTan4.-thecaUj
boys whom, he says came into Sid
ney with McKinley buttons. We
go back in retrospect a few short
years and find this same gentleman
making an. effort to. impose himself
on this same railway company as
the editor of the Sidney Telegraph,
for the purpose of getting a free
ride, and afterwards when the office
bulletined that the pass granted
him be taken up, with all the assur
ance of his immaculate gall we find
him offeripg a. gplliir- to the con
ductor as a bribe tor the ride. Such
stories as the above will make no
capital for Bryan and can only in
jure the cause of the party seeking
to profit by it. In this particular
instance the author of this infamous
lie is well known to at least two
hundred employes of the Union
Pacific com panyr and each one of
them is as well acquainted with the
same gentleman's ly ng propensities
and they should unite against the
party encouraging the circulation
of suck baseless slanders.

Let every good republican and,
as there are no bad republicans all
republicans are-good republicans
bear in mind the grand decoration
of Saturday, October 31, and see to
it that there is a McKinley por
trait in the center of every deco
ration. This will prevent the demo
crats from deadheading themselves
into the showr and claiming that it
is strictly
acter.
non-partisan .in char-
Muncie, Ind., is plucky. It
doesn't allow any "greatest politi
cal shp.w. p,n eaxth to run past the
town without exhibiting, so when
democrats failed to raise tbeS500
necessary to hear "the Boy Orator"
the. republicans chipped in and
Bryan exploded. The novelty of a
man being paid to persuade peeple
to elect him to a $50,000 per year
office is great. .
The democrats charge that "mul
titudes of workingmen are wearing
McKinley badges to save their
present situtiftns who. will quietly
vote far Bxyan," is about the
r meanest and most cowardly charge
ever- posted up against the work
ingman. There is no bigger farce
in sight than W. J. Bryan posing
as the American, patriot and the
friend of the workingman, and
denouncing all others as frauds
and plutocrats. Iner-Ocean.
A gold standard -does not imply
the exclusive use of gold, as Bryan
and his followers teach. Our stand
ard is gold, ,a'nd the circulation in
millions is. tuns divided: Gold $463-
00ft 600; silver, 5497,000, OOOr paper.
$37,000,000. The duty of a coun
try under a gold standard is. per
formed fully when gold can be had
for international transactions and
for domestic purposes without the
payment of a pr-emiam. This is the
condition-of the United States to
day. "W affiS One Haadrsd Dollars Benrard for any

FREE SILVER AND FREE TRADE.
The campaign new is started and the
"pops" are getting- thick.
Free silver is the issue and 'tis- talked
till one is sick.
The Democrats and pops axe mi ed
. into a silver stew.
But Just who'll get elected I cannofT
guess, can you?
The orators are shouting for free sil
ver and for gold.
The pops are laughing at the way the
Democrats they sold.
And Bryan he is certain to the Whitest
House he will go, .
While McKinleys just as certain ,B ry
an hasn't any show.
Four years ago they told- us they would
give us lots of dust
And we wouldn't have to labor, if in
Free Trade xve would trust.
And they told us that our troubles and
our. cares would soon be over
If we'd do just as they told us and cast
our vote for Grover,
And they partly kept their bargain but
they made us all believe
That we wouldn't have to labor for our
wants we would receive,
Oh, we do not have to labor, not a
stroke we've done begob
Since Grover got elected for we cannot
get a job.
And they tell us that free silver will
give us better times,
"We'll have lots of money In dollars,
halves and dimes.
But how they're going, to work it Is
not yet clear to me.
It may be a repetition of free trade
and Grover C.
As I sit here just a thinking- of the
hardships Tve come through
And figuring and thinking just what I
ought to do,
The days are mighty gloomy, but they
would be much blacker
So Til vote for Bill McKinley if It eosts
me my terbarker.

SWIM OUT, OH, BRYAN.
I am a wondrous craft upon
The sea ot politics.
And for the sawed-off dollar, sure, .
I'm putting in -big licks.
My voice is my protector, and
The foe I never fear;
For every day my friends all stoop
To whisper in my ear;
"Swim out, oh. Bryan!
Swim out and don't you care;
Your metaphors will put you in
The presidential chair.
Just chase the vicious goidbuga
And grab 'em by the hair;
So swim out, oh. Bryan,
Swim out!"
I am the greatest orator
That ever spooched a speech.
I have similes original
By the scores within my reach.
Original by some one else;
But that fact doesn't queer
My friends, who stoop to pat my back
And whisper in my ear:
"Swim out, oht Bryan!
Swim out and bruise the air,
FiU all the world with words.my boy.
Some day you will get there;
Keep your moutfi forever open
And you'll sit in Lincoln's -chair;
So swim out, oh, Bryan, ,
Swim out;"
My wonderful prosperity
"Per memorizing words,
On earth has ne'er been equaled quite;
My vocal chords are birds.
With this srxeat combination
To, mankind it must be clear
Just why my friend3 all shout with glee
And whisper in my ear;
"Swim out, oh. Bryan!
Swim out and don't you care;
Disseminate a holocaust
Of words upon the air;
Don't worry over logic.
Just talk and you'll get there;
So swim out, oh, Bryan,
Swim out!"
I'm sorry for the atmosphere;
It's overworked, I know.
My words have raised a mighty heat
And set the sun aglow.
But, now that I am started, 'twill
Be hard to stop. I fear,
Especially while my friends insist
And whisper in my earr
"Swim out, oh, Bryan!
Swim out for everywhere;
Tear up the Unabridged and spread
It3 words upon the air;
Just chatter on Incessantly,
Your ung will win, we swear;
fa xwfen. et, oh, Bryaz.
