Fusionists Painfully Silent on
the $100,000 Deficiency In
the Public Funds.
Bryan Emhracn tli Tammriny Tiger nnd
Uom Crohcr In Wlafclug tb
Otlicr Kjrn.
Omaha, Oct 1. Governor Pojntcr
anil tlie fusion newspapers, an well oh
all of tin! fusion lenders, are painfully
silent on the report that ut tUo end of
J'oynter's tonu Uiertj will be h deficit
or shortage In the public funds of no
Ichh than $100,000.
Their answer to this ta abuse of Re
publicans, but abusing Itepubllcnns
will laurrlly satisfy the tnx puyerH, who
will have to ro Into their pockets und
pay the bills.
The fuuionlsto have boosted of the
tuivlnKH tlicy hnvc made In managing
the Htatc Institutions. IIow docs this
compare with fucts?
Four years ago thy pointed to tho
reduction In the amount HHked of and
.appropriated by the legislature. The
result was that at the end of the first
two years there was a deflcioucy ap
proximating nearly $40,000. Two
years ago they came to tho legislature
with n demand for more money than
find ever before been required, with a
largo deficiency and any numler of
nnpald claims. Tho legislature two
yearn ago, not only made a largo de
ficiency appropriation, but appropri
ated more than $2,000,000 for the two
years ending iu 1001. All this has been
squandered ami It will require $100,
000 mora to nay unpaid bills and labor
claims.
The shortage In the penitentiary
fund alone will amount to about $30,
000. There are at leant 11 Institutions
that will come in wJtli shortages rang
ing all the way from $8,000 to $10,000.
and in some Instances the amount will
be even larger.
This amount added to tha amount nr
preprinted will nmtfee , expense oJ
maintaining these festftstians to a
higher figure than has ever before
been reached in the history of the
state.
These statement are based, not upon
observation alone, but upon tho show
ing made by the official records in the
auditor's ofllce at Lincoln.
It Is useless, therefore, for the fu
sion leaders to'deny them, for two rea
sons: First, because theynro abso
lutely true and substantiated by tho
official records; and, secondly, because
it Is only a few months until the legls
laturo meets und then nil the facte will
have to come out When the legisla
ture meets 'and the various Institu
tions moko tholr wonts known, when
the request for a deficiency appropri
ation of ut least $100,000 is made, as
It surely will be, perhaps tboBe who
may doubt tho truthfulness of tho
statements now will be fully con
vinced of It then.
SADLY INCOMPETENT.
As an executive officer Governor
Poyntcr is notoriously Incompetent.
This fact so openly manifests Itself
that H Is hardly necessary to call at
tention to It Aside from extrava
gance, It Is a fact patent to everyone
that In the exercise of executive uu-
thorlty lie Imis been 1k)Ui weak und
vaclllutlng. Every time he has had
ocenslou to exercise this prerogative he
has evinced pltiuble weakness. His ot
tcntlon bus boon called to corruption
and malfeasance on tho part of some
of his uppolntoca, but In each Instance
he has signally failed to apply the law
ful remedy. The maimer In which he
handled the management of the Insti
tute for the Feeble Minded Youth at
Beatrice has become almost a public
scandal. Ills appointees have learned
that, no matter how they may violate
the law, all they have got to do to
keep from being removed by the gov
ernor Is to show light and he will
weaken. This accounts for the con
tlnuous turmoil and clash between
the governor and his appointees ever
since he assumed the executive chair.
Such conditions us these must of ne
cessity result In tho demoralization of
the public service. As the head of u
family and as the head of a business
establishment must, when the occasion
requires, be resolute, so, too, the head
of u state gov rnmeut must be. Va
cillation In any position In lifo where
business customs, w.here law or where
orgnuized society requires resolution,
must ultimately be attended byfr suits
Inimical to the Individual and public
alike. Nebraska is a large state with
large business Interests. The chief
executive not only has supervisor'
control over the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars of the people's money,
but he Is entrusted with the respon
sibility of executing all laws on the
statute books. The time may never
come when vacillation on the part of
the executive might endanger life and
property, thus this, .even In the best
regulated communities, Is a danger al
ways to bo reckoned with. Hut the
time Is always at hand, In the manage
ment of domestic affairs, when weak
ness of this character means corrup
tion on one hand and Increased ex
pence to the taxpayers on tho other.
That this deduction Is logical Is proven
by remits attained under the Poyntcr
administration.
DISTORTING FACTS.
It remained for Mr. Brynn to at
tempt to make political capital out of
the strike o' working men In the conl
regions. Everybody else knows It to
be a result of a difference of opinion
lietween tho employers and their em
ployes, not ovor a reduction In wages,
but over an Increase In wages, u ques
tion with vnlch politics has nothing
to do. . If Mr. Bryan would only stop
and think for a moment he would
readily rcitllKe the folly of bis deduc
tions. In the first place workmen can
not strike unless they nre at work. In
tlu lecond place a strike thut is duo to
a demand for more wages simply
means that times are good and that
workmen want what they think Is their
eharo of prosperity.
Then, too, on tho subject of strikes
Mr. Bryan and his party should go a
little slow. Under Democratic rule,
from 1802 to 180U, 282,000 laborers
went on a strike against a reduction
In wages. More than 300,000 were
thrown out of employment without any
wuges through the operation of the
Wilson law a Democratic free trade
that closed more than half the facto
ries in tho United States and was an
Incumbrance on every Industrial en
terprise and domestic Industry.
It Is well remembered that In the
large cities free soup houses had to be
maintained to alleviate the suffering
of the masses. Many citizens of Ne
braska will recall that In the city of
Omaha a place known as Rescue hall,
a large building on Douglas street, was
maintained by charity and was each
day and night called upon to feed and
shelter hundreds of Idle people from
the storm and cold, all willing to work
but none able to ilnd employment
These were Democratic days. Bryan
may have forgotten tbem, but there
ore thousands of others who were Idle
then and are at work at good wages
now who have not and never will. The
Impression made upon them was one
they will ever remember. What Is truo
of Omaha is true of all the large cities,
especially those cities whose popula
tion Is largely employed In manufac
turing Industries and which felt tho
full force of tho terrible suffering and
distress at that time.
It will go Into history that under the
Mckinley administration not one of
the 10,000,000 wuge earners of this
country went on a strike against a re
duction In wages. There have been
very few strikes In the lost four years,
and those that have occurred have
been causeu, If over a dispute about
wages, not by a decrease, but as tho
result of a demand for an Increase.
Mr. Bryan's solicitude for labor,
while advocating free trade and spu
rloiw money both fatal to tho welfare
of the artisan brings the sublime and
the ridiculous Into very close contact
CAVORTING WITH TAMMANY
HALL.
In a public Bpeech Boss Croker of
Tammany Hall stated that It is the
Intention of Tammany Hall to give
Bryan on his forthcoming visit to Now
York "the greatest reception ever glvea
a presidential cundldato."
This Is n big contract Tammuny Hull
has taken, but It ought to be equal to
the occasion. It has stolen enouch
from the people of New York City in
the muny years It has hud Its tcntuclos
fimtened upon them to pay for most
anything. At tlie cud of its tnuuy
years of existence It enjoys the unen
viable distinction of bolug the most
Iniquitous and corrupt organization of
its kind tho world has ovor known. I
For years It has been a mentor of pub
lic thieves and u czar In New York
politics. It has existed on the spoils of
office from the date of Its birth. The
story of the "Forty Thieves" Is, with
the exception of a numerical discrep
ancy, a true history of Tunimany Hall.
Richard Croker, chief of Tammany
Hull. Is as lmporlous In Democratic
politics In the Empire State as the czar
of Russia Is In the government, of the
Russian empire. Ills edict Is law and
his command and orders are as exact
ing of obedience as any Imperial decree
could possibly be. When Tammany
Hall speaks Now York Democracy
bends tho knee.
Bryan and Tammany nnlll What a
theme for contemplation out here In
Nebraska 1 A nice picture, Isn't It for
"reformers" to look upon 7 Tho Tam
many tiger snarled and snapped at
G rover Cleveland because that gentle
man refused to be dictated to and In
sisted, even In politics, on his right to
choose his associates. But It has
finally succeeded In luring the "boy
orator" Into Its den. Cleveland did a
few thlngM for which he deserves to le
leinembered and one of these was
when Tnuui'aiiy Hall demanded as a
price for Its support all the appointive
offices In thut state, when he boldly
declared that "I'll be doubly damned
If I'll do It." Whether he meant that
the public would so treat him or meant
that ho would not nnike such a per
sonal sacrifice has never been ex
plained. So It Is todny. If Tammany Is for
Bryan It Is simply a question of spoils.
It exists on spoliation, It lives for It,
It has no other or higher object In pol
itics. That has been Its price for sup
port In the past and It Is Its price now.
It Is but consistent with historical
facts to assume that tho bargain has
been mndn. When Tammany shouts It
Is when there Is plenty of provender In
sight, plenty of hay In tho manger.
But how will Mr. Bryan's Nebraska
constituents look at It? Will they
make room In their affection for that
hydro-headed monster, Tammany
Hall? Wl they follow Bryan In muk
Ing u truco with the foulest beast that
ever strodt 1ie arena of politics, the
Tammany tiger? Will they Join u'ltn In
a compromise with what for years has
been known us a menuclng evil? Will
they uphold a man who reforms by
going over to the enemy? The moun
tain didn't come to Mohammed and
It la Just as certain thut Tammuny
Hall dldnt come to Bryan.
It was ouly u few weeks ago that
David B. Hill, In speaking of Tam
many, said It was "a monster of Igno
ranco, tyranny and persecution."
This Is tho same Tammany that ac
cording to Croker, Is going to give
Bryan one of the "greatest receptions
ever given a presidential candidate."
