POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Niwell Burritt says that had
he known the campaign was to be
so warm and full of hard work he
would not have accepted the nomi
nation. This means that Burritt
is not sanguine of success and
that he feels that he has wasted
time, energy and money in. making
the, canvass of the county.
The intelligent .voter will not be
influenced by the circulation by the
fusionists of the report that a
banker at Wallace expects to move
to North Platte and establish a
bank for the purpose of handling
the county deposits. This claim,
so assiduously used by the fusion
ists.is simply a campaign lie; there
is not the least foundation for it.
County Cm:kk Hoitry turned
over $800 in excess fees in less
than two years, while his prede
ccssor, iNewcu uurritt. turned in
$240.88 in four years. Iloltry is a
republican, Burritt is a fusionist:
the former .believes in conducting
county affairs in an economical
manor; the latter belongs to
party inat oeneves in larmiug an
office for all it is worth.
Con Scuawarnk has lived in
North Platte for nearly twenty
years and the best people of the
city endorse him as an honest,
straightforward young man, one
who will not allow anything to
swerve nim lrom tlie line of duty
and conscientious work. He is a
young man of excellent morals, is
udustrious, and is deserving of the
cote of all who desire to have good
men fill the county offices. '
In their dig pair over the certain
defeat of their tcket, the fusionists
are circnlatlng more lies in this
campaign than usual. One ot the
rotteuest lies is the claim that it
Carpenter is elected commissioner
the commissioner districts will be
changed so that there will be repub
lican majorities in each district.
This claim is absolutely groundless.
From now on each commissioner
district as at present constituted
will give a republican majority, and
therefore no change would be
necessary to accomplish the end
which the fusionists claim the re
publicans are attempting to attain.
The majority of the voters of the
county are today ready to belicye,
however, that it would have been a
great blessing to the taxpayers
had all the commissioner districts
given republican majorities during
the past eight or nine years
That there is a general revival
of business throughout this coun
try is shown by a canvass made by
the Cleveland Leader. These fig
ures show conclusively that pros
perity has returned, and that hun
dreds of thousands more workmen
are now employed than three years
ago. The Leader has made a can
vass of seventy-eight factories in
that city, showing the condition of
affairs now and at the correspond-
ng time in 18. It appears from
this that the number of men now
employed in these factories is sixty
per cent larger than three years
ago, wliue tlie total sum paid per
mouth as wages is 75 per cent
greater than 18. The average
svages in those factories show au
ncreasc of S7.25 A partial canvass
made in the Miami valley, au i in-,
portant manufacturing section,
shows that in ninety-two factories
and shops the number of men now
employed is G4 per cent larger than
three years ago, the increase in the
total wages paid per mouth is f9
per cent and the increase in the
average monthly wages is 58.31.
Figures obtained from .255 shops
and factories scattered through the
state show 68 per cent increase in
the number of men employed as
compared with the corresponding
lime in 18 and 8'J per cent in
crease in the total monthly pay
rolls.
The Political Falso Prophots.
There have always been false pro
phets, who for a time thrived on the
gullibility of unthinking or unsus
pecting people, but there has never
been a more pestiferous and prcsist-
ent lot than the breed of 1896
These latter-day prophets predicted
all sorts of disaster should McKiu
ley be elected. None of these irruc
some misfortunes have come to pass.
and now in impotent rage these pro
phets ol poverty are venting their
spleen on tlie administration of the
successful party because of the
failure of their own prophecies. It
would certainly seem that the limits
ot patience have been passed with a
suffering people, because the
present prosperity of the countrv
not only surpasses all claims made
by republicans in 18, but is mov
ing on au asccudinir. scale that
promises to still fnrthcr discount
all expectations.
The republican party has been in
power only two years and eight
months, and four months of
that time had elapsed before the
enactment of the new tariff law.
Business confidence was restored
immediately when McKinley's elec
tion became known, and money
immediately came out of hiding.
Everyone knows, even if it is not
generally admitted, that the con
dition of the country has been
greatly improved, that all classes
of the people are more prosperous
that the trade balances have been
reversed and are now in favor of
this country, and that agriculture.
manufactures and labor are pros
pering uniformly as never before in
our history as a nation.
This is not an age of miracles,
et if it were we could readilv he.
lieve that a miracle rdulrl lmv
fleeted this magical trausforma-
tion. Instead this beneficent result
has been wrought by the applica
tion of correct business nrincinlos
and the adoption of wise economic
laws. These are no more matters
of chance or "luck" with nations
than with individuals. If we admit
it to be coincidence that democratic
politick Have been detrimental to
tlie country's interests, still the
fact stands, and whether we attrib
ute the fact to coincidence or "hard
luck" it is no longer worth while for
tlie American voter to experiment
with fatal theories or temporize
with an ovcr-indulgent providence.
me democratic oartv has been
so often tried and bo often found
wanting and the attempts to nut its
economical theories into practical
operation have so invariably been
accompanied by disaster, that it is
worse than folly to listen now to
those discredited prophets of dem
ocracy who are going up and down
tlie land begging and beseeching
and berating the voters to give
them still another trial. Kearney

office.
