Wb would tliink Mr. Paraotin
would canvnns Perkins county, his
old home and among- old friends, in
the interests of J. K. Morrison and
the fusion ticket.
Ii" Bryan 1b still hunting for evi
dence of prosperity, he will find it
when he reaches North Platte next
from twenty-five to fifty per cent
better than when the Colonel was
here three yeara apo.
Wb don't understand why the
managers of Mr. Morrison's cam
paign don't Bend Mr. Calhoun to
Mcl'licrsou county to campaign
against Judge Grimes. Calhoun is
well and favorably known there,
having run for county attorney and
received i'ivi: votes.
Wiikn M. C. Harrington said,
"there will be but one more year of
fasten he voiced the sentiment not
only of the Nebraska democracy
but of V. J. Bryan as well. Mr.
Harrington probably was a little
premature in allowing the feline
to get out of the bag, but the news
bad to be broken sooner or later to
the populistB, and perhaps the
sooner the better.
Wb admit that the surveyor is
paid a per diem salary, but there is
this difference between Meyers and
Ross: The former managed to
"farm" his ofHce by putting in
about every working day in the
year, while the latter does the
necessary work in just one-third
uie nine anu uic taxpayers are
saved eight or nine hundred dol
lars a year.
Ah we have before remarked,
Bill Elder is the worst thorn that
has ever penetrated the side of the
fusion gang, and if they could by
sonic hook or crook by some dirty,
tinderhn tided work defeat him,
their joy would know no bounds.
But try as they can, they cannot
defeat Bill, He has proven an
cfiicient, accommodating clerk of
the district court, and will be re
elected. And mark this: He will
receive a majority In several of the
BtrongeBt populist precincts In the
county.
The local fusion organ now tells
us that there in not much difference
between a populist and a democrat.
How the 13ra has departed from the
course in which it was steered by its
former editor, Mr. Cheney, who lost
no opportunity to roundly denounce
the democrats, even those of the
16 to I brand. The 12ra evidently
ia preparing itself to be swallowed
as gracefully as possible by the
great unwashed democracy. But
it will not be the first time its pros
ent editor has changed his political
garments.
The fact that county clerk Hoi
try turned over?800 in excess fceB
to the county treasurer in less than
twenty-two months while his pop
ulitttpredecesser turned over but
S240.88 in forty-cight months is a
solar plexus blow to the ftiBionists.
A -I A 1 i .
tu utu-iunu popuiiBt, who was
present at the time Mr. Iloltry
turned over the money to treasurer
Holcombe, remarked that such i
transaction was equal to a certifi
cate of election in other words, it
was undisputable proof that Mr.
Iloltry conducted his office in
economical manner.
Judge Ghimbs requires no de
fense to the groundless charges con
tained in the slimy, anonymous
sheet that is being put in circula
tion by a convicted embezzler and
his aids. The people throughout
the district know that II. M.
Grimes has made an upright, fear
less and impartial judge, and by
their vote they will show their con
tempt for the ghouls that are at
tempting to besmirch his reputation.
Tin: writer who juggles villi the
figures wc submitted from the
county records showing the in
creased cost of running the county
under populist administration is
fully as successful in that role as
he waB in juggling with the county
funds. But fortunately the days of
the jugglerB am fast drawing to a
close. After January 7th, 1900, with
two republican commissioners to
look alter the affairs of the county,
a reign of economical management
will begin.
"Aid" Smith, the fusion candi
date for county commissioner, owns
a farm in Saunders county lor
which he receives a cash rental of
$400 per year, and also 800 acres of
land in Wallace precinct. A man
in such comfortable circumstances
might naturally be expected to be
liberal to the church of which he ia
a member and a deacon, and yet
wc learn that at a recent collection
for home missions taken in the
Congregational church at Wallace
he gave the princely sum of five
cents. This is a fair index of
Smith's generosity.
In all the columns of political
matter which the Era has directed
to the republican nominees on the
county ticket the question of their
fitness for the offices to which they
aspire has not once been raised
and it cannot truthfully. The
present incumbents, MisB Thoel-
ccke, W. M. Iloltry, Judge Bald
win, C. P. Ross and W. C. Elder
haye proven their capability and
their honesty, and the nominees for
commissioner, treasurer and sheriff
are men who are equally wullquali
ficd and honorable. The republi
can county ticket commcndB itself
to every voter in the county who
favors placing good and reliable
men in office.
The fusionists have given up hope
of electing "Aid" Smith, their nomi
nee for commissioner. Smith is
very unpopular in the precincts
where he is best known by reason
of his many picayutiioh acts, and
even in his own precinct, which us
ually gives a large populist ma
jority, it is stated that he will get
but few votes. Mr. Carpenter, on
the other hand, is popular wherever
known, is a man of excellent busi
ness ability, his honesty and integ
rity is unquestioned and in all re
spects is an ideal man for the office
to which he aspires. No voter in
the Third commissioner district
will misplace his confidence when
he casts his vote for Lincoln Car
penter for commissioner.
Those witnesses and jurymen
who attend the next term of court
will get their warrants eight months
after they render their services to
the county, and if they are o un
lucky bb not to have sufficient cash
to pay their board bills, they will
discount their vouchers just the
same as they have for eight years
past. The Era, in its item, is
simply trying to mislead the voters
Into believing that those who render
services to the county will be given
a "cash warrant" upon the comple
tion of their services. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
The general fund will be exhausted
when the bills now on file are paid,
and no other warrants can be drawn
on that fund until next July.
Bisiioi Doane in an address be
fore the Episcopal missionary
council nt Sf Louis Wednesday
came out squarely in support of the
administration's policy in taking
the Philippines under national pro
tection. The Bishop said: "To
my mind there were but four tin
aiiciauiu alternatives, we were
obliged either to leave the islands
under Spanish control for a renewal
of hostilities, wc were obliged to
leave them to destroy themselves
in internecine strife, we could have
left them to be fought over by Euro
pean nations or we could have as
sumed the position of protectors of
the islands. 1 see no other conclu
sion and the fourth alternative was
the only one which ought to have
been taken. We did take it, and
nits great trust jwnsj be adminis
tcred."
The Erratic Era.
Our comparison of the current
expenses of the county during the
last eight years under populist rule
with the preceding eight years un
der republican rule, showing the
increased taxation under popuiiBt
rule to be $75,818.00 for the period
of eight yearB, has opened the eyes
of the tax payers to the necessity of
a change. The Era meets the
charges by a plea of confession and
avoidance. It says that the com
parison is not fair; that during the
former period when republicans
were in power there were less peo
ple in the county. The compari
son was made of the periods from
1884 to 1891 inclusive, with 1892 to
1898 inclusive. Now it is well
known that the great influx of set
tlers into the table lands and sand
hills of Lincoln county was during
the years 1883, 1884 and 1885; that
outside of the Platte valley there
were more people in the county dur
ing the former than during latter
period. During the last eight
years there has been a great falling
off in the population of the county
outside of the Platte valley and al
most an equal increase in the
Platte valley. That the popula
tion of the county as a whole has
been almost stationary for a long
time is evidenced by the fact that
in the election of 1889, which is
embraced in the first mentioned
period, there were 1803 votes cast
in the county, while in the election
ot 1898 there were but 1836 votes
cast,
The shifting of the population
from the hill lands to the valley
can be illustrated by the vote of
the following precincts in 1889 and
1898:
1889
Wallace 233
Dickens 43
Nichols 29
O'Fallon 32
1898
108
17
98
75
The again the Era attributes the
cause of the increased taxation of
nearly ten thousand dollars per
year under populist rule to the fact
as it alleges, that the U, P. railroad
quit paying taxes on their lands in
1893; which is not true, as the rail
road company paid taxes on all its
lands up to and including the tax
levied in 1894, But even if the al
legation was true it could have
made no difference in the taxation
for the reason that while the taxes
have not been collected the com
missioners have expended them by
the issue of warrants against the
levy.
Then again the Era lays the
blame to the U. P. Ry. Co. for lead
ing off in the matter of not paying
taxes on its realty, in which the
Era is again mistaken. An inspec
tion of the tax list published by the
Era shows that while the U. p.
Ry. Co. quit paying taxes on it
realty in 1895, VViiliiitn JJeyilJe. the
fusion candidate for congress, has
not paid any taxes on his realty
Bince 1889.
And the Era intimates that this
failure to pay is from a desire to
deprive the Era of its rake off for
publishing the delinquent tax list.
Evidently the Era has overlooked
the fact that it is only by the fail
ure of the taxpayer to pay the real
ty tax that there wonjd be a rake
off for the printer. The Era will
have to try again.
SKVlittAL weeks ago we stated
that Sheriff &clihcr paid his deputy
only $400 per year, atul that he had
no right under the law ta retain
more fee money for deputy services
than he actually paid his deputy.
If the fees of the sheriff's office
reached the maximum, our position
would be correct, but Sheriff Keli
her assures us that the fees of his
office fall below the maximum and
that under these conditions he is
entitled to the $700 allowed for the
services of the deputy,, no matter
what sum he pays the deputy.
A ballot cast for the republican
county ticket registers a vote for
economy.

Is jr true $lr. Bryan that you

from the democratic ticket,
Is it true Mr. Dryan that you
demanded and received $2,500 for
your week's work in Kentucky in
defense of theauthorof the infamous
Goebel election law?
Bryan and Croker have formed a
political alliance. Why should not
they? Are they not both in politics
for the money that is in it?

Wmws you are decrying trusB
Mr. Bryan, won't you please cite
your followers to the laws for tlier
suppresbion or regulation that you
sought to have enacted during the
years you were in congress?
You say, Mr. Bryan, that your
heart beats for the common people;
won't you please cite us to some
act that you attempted to have
passed during your tour years in
congress in the Interest of the com
mon people?
Bryan was four years in congress
and the only act that he was iden
tified wifJi during that time was
the passage ot t)e jnfatnoiiB Wilson
tariff bill: a law that i)i two years
closed more factories and mjlfeund
made more tramps and paupers
than ever before known in the
country.
Bryan is the first candidate for
president who has ever succeeded
in compelling Ins followers to pac
tum for advocating his own candi
dacy. He has made more money in
the past .three years out of politics
mujtipied t.en.fold than he earned
in b's whojlefie pje?jfl,usly. This
simply goes t,o show that he fp still
true to the sentuuen hs epr,cssed
in 1880 when he wrote to J. Stef
