lilorul.lv, LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 29. 1900.
Incompetency Is gcttlnk In Its dead
ly work at several of the state insti
tutions. It is lndeod a crying shame
that the poor, unfortunate people of
the Btato who are helpleas to protect
thomsolves from results of lgnornnce
and abuses rhould be thus treated.
Govornor Poynter has placed these In
stitutions in tho hands of spoils-hunting
polltLln.a and tho result is that
everything' is demoralized and the
unfortunuto inmatos are suffering to
tht extent that in somo instances
death follows.
The following correspondence bo

"Yours of tho lO.h addressed to Mr.
Brown la nt hand. Ho will consider Its
contontB and wolijh It in tho now light
thnt has developed In our case, and let
you know as n-qulsted.
"You no doubt know that wc visited the
Institute Oct. Sth und tho result of that
visit Ib not yet known, only to us. What
wo found there, Cod ulono knows. Dr.
Lang, I want you to ascertain the truo
condition of Chaillo when you loft him
und his condition during tho two pre
vious months. For how long a time hna
ho been In fnlllm. health? Do you know
If ho hnd "the spells" dally or mrr.thly?
3omo of his attendants should know about
this. We were never told one woul auoui
him bolnB in a failing condition, but ex
pected to find him In his general good
health, considering his disease, and wo
found a total wreck, and I am very much
In doubt ns to whether It Is tho result of
only two or three weeks of neglect and
abuse. When we got there thnt morn
ing we had to wait one hour before ho
win- brougnt to us nnd when ho was drag

believe it to bo our Charlie. He wn3
wasted and unable to sit up. blue and
oold, fiesh from a cold bnth In a cold
loom. Fifteen minutes after I got him
Into a bed ho was In a raging fvcr Dr.
Lang, I bellevo you to understand enough
of humanity to realize our feelings at
such a discovery. Charllo had dovelopcd
Jung fever and his body Is covered with
bt uiscs nnd cuts and on his back is a
deep fostered sore. Is It possible, I ask
r.yrlf, that this Is all tho sinful, wicked
n-g'ect of tho new administration? Wo
huve had the bet skill In the profes
sion to examine him nnd nil agree that
h's physical condltl'.n Is tho result of
neglect. He has tho next thing to pneu
Mrnla. lies helpless and has ono hard
spell after another. In tho building that
cuid morning there was no sign of flro
or heat. .
"Well, Charlie has come home to die
and If It takes tho remainder of our lives
we expect to hunt this thing down nnd
llnd redress, not in political barterlngs,
but It shall be paid even as he hns paid
tlio price for this sinful neglect In the
I. ih. Dr. Lang, I request this of you:
Wilto us all you know of his condition
i 1 asked you. Two days boforo wo
retched there a letter came here that our
o lid was In bin general health nnd good

tl.it he hnd been down sick. The whole
l"vn and surrounding country here are

f :1 discovery. Dr. Maxwell of Dakota
' .y and Dr. Way of Wahoo were tlio
H-.t tn examine him. Wo did not oxpect
to get him homo alive.
"Dr. Lung, I pray you, give th's your

Tho foregoing brought forth the fol
lowing reply from Dr. Lnng, who, by
tio way, has long been considered on--o'
the strongest men in the fusion
party:
LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. t8. 1900.
Wr and Mrs. Drown:
i"nr Frletuls I received the very sad
Kitunent about your little son whom
y ui were obliged to take away from the
.euraska Institution for Feeble Minded
Youth nt Bentrlce, Nebraska. I am not
surprised at your statement, and I am
i that tho taxpayers and voters of
Nebraska will not be surprised either.
Only a few days of nogleot of tho poor,
imfertuna.o children at thu Institution
will cause, not only what you deacrlbo,
hut death. You will he astonished that
two have died at tho Institution within
iv wvk, so reported by nttendnnU. Miss
Vngonor, an uttendant, who died last
"tioMlay, wanted to quit tho morning I
loft the Institution, hut I advised her to
t-mnln to enro for the Inmates If possi
ble. It a strong, vigorous person llko
stlo enn be the victim of bnd sanitary ev n
dolors and neglect, need you bo rurpr fl
ed thnt your weak nnd nflllctr.. 'utio
son would ' found in the coniltlli n de
scribed In your letter. Not only thee,
but I am Informed that others ate now
conllned to tholr beds with low forms of
fevers. You ask mo If bis con Htlon
could have been the result of ihiee or
four weeks' noglcct? It could hive been
even worse with the neglect of only one
week. Your sons visited tlio Institution
while under my charge, and you know
how well pleased they were with your lit
tle son's condition, nnd you, about Juno,
visited and was granted every privilege
nnd Invited to investigate every doparl
monl. You had Charlie with you for two
days, not in basement rooms, but wen
treated as every fatbor and motbei
should be, in the guest rooms of that
Institution. You know his condition wh n
you visited him in his ward at night and
your testimony Is worth everything to tho
voters of this state.
I am very sorry, my dear friends, thnt
you found your afflicted little boy in such
a condition nnd if I could bo of any holp
you know that I would gladly assist you.
Tha votM-E of tho state of Nebraska havi
tho only remedy to correct there evlli
In our state Institutions, by electing leg
Islntors und a governor who will not be
led by hungry political pie huntcts.
Any further Information I shall be glad
to give. Yours very truly,

A MANLY DENIAL.
Hastings, Neb., Oct. 22, 1900.
To tho Public:
A circular letter has been Issued and
circulated throughout tho stato of No-1
braska by tho Antl-Hnloon Longuo of tills
state, which states thut tho republican
nominee for governor pulled off n prize
fight in the city of Hastings, during the
month of "'September, 1899, during tlio
street fair carnival. Tho facta arc as
follows:
Tho Street Fair Association, by William
Dutton, its prosldent, Fred Homier, sec
retary, William lirach, treasurer, and tho
committee on miscellaneous sports, of
which Mr. Dietrich was only a member,
decided to have a sparring and wrestling
contest. A contract was entered into for
a sparring contest with six ounce gloves
and for points only. The ministers of tho
city, having been misinformed, under
stood that there was to bo a prlzo light.
A commltteo of ministers called upon tho
ofneers of tho association and with tho
mayor of the city Investigated, und tho
contract was shown them and they, them
selves, nproved of It, provided the con
tract was lived up to. It was a matter
entirely In tho hands of tho association
and nothing thnt could bo charged up to
Mr. Dietrich personally.
J. D. MINES, Sec. Miscellaneous Sports.
WILL M. DUTTON, I'res.
WILLIAM URACIL Treas.
FRED RENNER, Jr., Secy.
I have read tho above statement nnd
vouch for tho correctness of tho state
ment and positively assert that there was
no prizo fight held, but a sparring contest
was held under tho terms of tno con
tract. JACOB FISHER.
Mayor City of Hastings.
William Dutton, who Is ono of tho
persons who3e names appear abovo In
exonerating and clearing Mr. Dletricn
of all personal responsibility, Is ono
of the most substantial business men
of Hastings and heavily Interested in
Omaha, being a mombor of tho firm
of J. H. Halnoy & Co. Mr. Dutton is
also a member of Governor Poyntor's
staff.
William Brash, another of tho sign
ers, is a democrat and Is a mombor of
tho firm of Walbach &Jrash, ono of
the largest business houses in the cltv
of Hastings.
J. D. Mines Is now and for years
hns boon troasuror of tho city of
Hastings and is a highly osteomed clt
zeu. Tho fusioniats have scattered lies
and falsehoods broadcast about Charlej
H. Dietrich. They are conducting a
campaign of villainous deco.'tion. Every
time one of these falsa reports is in
vestigated it is invariably found to bo
untrue. It would be a gross Injustice
should Governor Poynter be olected by
voters who havo been influenced by
false roports concerning Mr. Dietrich.
Poynter's public record is that bad
that falsehood could no', make it
worse. His management of tho stnto
Institutions has been shameful In tho
highest conceivable degree. It woull
be a public misfortune to re-elect him
and contintio tho reign of politicians
ovor affairs of tho Btato two mora
yenrs.
SURRENDERED TO TAMMANY.
Bryan Is tho first democratic can
didate for the presidency, from Tildcn
to Clovolund, that ovor surrendered to
Tammany. All the othor candidates
on the democratic ticket have man
fully refused f) rccognlzo Tammany
Tammany has always claimed as tho
prlco for Ub support tho right to con
trol and distribute all tho federal ap
pointments in tho stato of New York.
No man of high moral standing would
consont to such an Illicit compact and
tho result Is that for years Tammany
has failed to take concentrated inter
est in tho national elections nnd has
confined its efforts to preying upon the
metropolis. It was Grover Cleveland's
stubborn fight against thnt iniquitous
organization that led that sturdy old
democrat, General Edward Bragg of
Wisconsin, speaking in tha democratic
national convention, to romark: "Wo
lovo Clovoland for the enemies he has
mndo." It Is a matter of history tluit
honest democrats everywhere havo
kept aloof from Tammany Hall. David
B. Hill, ono of tho leading domocratB
of the nation, only a few weeks ago
In a public speech denounced Tam
many as "a monster of vice, ignor
ance and persecution." Hill nt that
timo was making a speech in support
of Brynn, but that did not stop htm
from placing tho brand of vicious in
iquity on Tammany, But along cornea
Mr. Bryan, tho man from Nebraska,
the "reformer" of reformors. nml
startles tho.bonest men ot all partloa
liy ru::ns '.hrougn r.s strfle.a o" "ow
York with Boss Croker aa n compan
ion nnd following It up by proolnl,.lr.
In his speech in Mndlson Square Ga'
don that same evening: "Great 13 Tain
many, and Cror.or Is Its prophet! '
Other democrats lees loud in their pro
fesslons of deconcy thnn Mr. Brynn
hive refused to hnve anything to d
with Tnmninny, and Mr. Bryan's nc
tlon In this respect will not only onus1
ninny of his adherents to vlow the as
po t with disappointment, but will
Etiengthen belief In tho accuracy nnd
truthfulness of othor reports concern
lng him which many havo been r.low
to believe bepnuse of his auppo-Od In
tegrity. Tho simple fact of tho mat
ter la thnt tho bargain between Brynn
and Tnmninny has boon struck and
everybody with nny knowledge of pol
itics knows tho consideration. In thi3
ns In all othor respects Brynn and hi.,
ndvisers brush asldo tho logic of ex
perience nnd history. It Is a mutter
of history thnt Tammany's most do
structlvo Influence In national politi"
Is Its support. Tho more fact thnt
Tammany supported a cnndldnte In
times past has beon enough to turn
chastened sentiment against him. Tho
record of tho organization is so preg
nant with Iniquity that its opposition
Is tho strongest certificate of chnrnc
tor any candidate or nny party could
havo. Dick Croker, Its chiof, camo to
tho position a poor mail, yet In n few
years, with no othor way of accumu
lating a fortune than by fraud nnd
tho spoilB of office In Now York City,
ho Is nlrendy several times a mllllon
nlro. Tammany has beon for years re
galed In tho public prints and do
nouncod from tho public rostrum as
a monster of vlco and corruption and
nobody hnB darod to deny thoso dras
tic impoachmont8. Tho thievery nnd
corruption of this organization waB so
openly manifest that doninl waB use
loss. For years it has had its tenta
cles fastonod upon tho government of
New York, with the result thnt It
tnkes $90,000,000 per year to maintain
municipal govornmont in thnt city, or
nearly ono-flfth of what it costs to run
tho entire government of tho nation.
It will be observed, therefore, that
Tammany is not in politics for Its
health. This is tho organization tint
has made its truco with Mr. Bryan.
Tammnny's Bupport ban always been
on element of weaknoss, and with a
rocord shaking under the weight of Its
own rottenness It must continue to
bo. By this alliance Mr. Brynn may
nnd will secure tho slum element of
that great city, but he will lose tho
support of docont democrats, which
will send tho republican majbrlty in
the state high up In tho thousands.
It Is quite apparent that Bryan haa
been tricked by Boss Crokor. Crokor
knows as well as anybody that public
Bupport by Tammany Jn national cam
paigns will defeat an ticket. But
Croker is looking out for 1904. Ho is
bent on defeating David B. Hill at that
time, and he must In order to succood
have control of the municipal machin
ery of New York City. Cunning poli
tician that he Is, ho has laid his plans
well. Disastrous as tho nlllancc with
Bryan will bo t Bryan It is tho only
hope Crokor haw of rotalning Tam
many's grip on Nov York City. Should
Bryan be elected Crokor would of
course bo tho power behind the throne
in stato if not In national affairs, but
his eye is sot on conditions four ycara
honce. But how will Mr. Bryan's "re
form" friends In Nebraska view thlB
latest performance? Will they calmly
yiold to tho party lash, or will they
roslst tho affront? In other words,
will they uphold a candidate who "re
forms" by going over to tho enomy
bag und baggage? The popocrats pro
fess to favor honost und. economical
govornmont. How can they reconcile
this profession to the alliance between
Bryan nnd the most subtle, corrupt and
Iniquitous political organization this
country ha3 over known?
NOT AUTHORIZED.
It develops, however, that Darnnll'3
use o ftho Antl-Salopn league to pro
mote tho candidacy of Govornor Poyn
ter is nbsolutely without authority.
Fiank Carpenter of Omnhn, vlco
president of the leaguo and a momber
of tho Carpenter Paper company, one
of the largest establishments of this
kind in the west, when asked if the
league had authorized Darnall to take
actlon against Mr. Dietrich, said:
"Positively no. I regard Mr. Dietrich
as being a thorough and substantial
business man and good citizen. I feel
confident that no hotter, safer or ex
perienced man can be found. I know
Mr. Dietrich well enough to know that
tho temporanco cause Is perfectly safe
in his hands, and safer than it would
bo In the hands of somo who Just at
this time profess to bo so keenly con
corned about it. I regard Mr. Diet
rich as being ono of tho very bost citi
zens and a man nolther politicians nor
schemers can control. Ho will do
what ho thinks Is right regardless of
consequences."
SOLD OUT TEMPERANCE.
In an intorvlew with Dr. Lang upon
tho position taken by Governor Poyn
ter and his friends towards tho tom
perance pooplo of this state, he said:
"I waB chairmau of the York county
populist delegation o'f the Btato con
vention whloh nominated W. A. Poyn
ter in 1898, and it Is amusing to note
tlio position that the frlondS of W. A.
Poynter have taken and tho arguments
they aro UBlng that tho 'temporanco
people of the state should not voto for
Mr. Dtotrlch as against Mr. Poynter.'
I was an ardent Biipportor of Mr.
Poyntor's candidacy in 1898, as I bo
lleved thoro waB a domand at that
time that a man of temporanco repu
tation be noralnatod. I remember well
tho Ion? and tlrosome siego that tho
populists had at that time In Lincoln
INorsuadlng the democrats that Mr.
Poyntor waa a fit perBon to bocomo
govornor of tho great stato of Ne
braska. Many of tho nopulle.B who

hibition people of tlie' str.lo, woro' In
clined to stay by Poyntor at all haz
ards, an wo wero Informed that ho
was a tomporanco man. Wo could not
understand why tho democrats should
have beon do persistent In tholr oppo
sition, after agroolng that we Bhould
designate tho mnn for govornor, but
Poynter, being an unknown factor to
many of tho populists, they were In
clined to woakeu and give way to tho
demands of tho doinocrnt?. Tho dom
ocratB Insisted that they would not
suport a man whom tlioy hnd nny sus
picion waa tainted with prohibition
personality. Tho fight wnu long and
hard nnd lastod until tho woo hours
of morning, When tho couvontlon nd
Journod a commltteo was nppolntod
to fop If they could not ngreo upon
some othor cnndldalo or some futur1
action. I remember thnt tho (Ple
brntcd Edgar Howard, who is now
running for congress In the Socon.l
congrealonnl district, hold tho hon
orablo position of ihairmrtn of tho
f'omocrntlc party a that t'tno. At tho
Llndoll hotl ho statod, when naked
why the democrats woro holding out
ng'ilnst Poynter, "that of all the hnrJ
things In this world for n domocrat ft
do wns to tnko wnter from n popti
llBt convention." Thin stntomont gave
away tho whole thing nnd tho popu
lists ronowod their courage nnd woro
determined, after bolng rerreshed, thnt
thoy would go back nnd fight It out.
When tho populist convention hnd con
voncd a stampodo wns mndo to throw
Toyntor ovor tho transom. This wns
plnnnnd nnd oncournged by tho dem
ocratic allies and n few dicgatlon8 of
tho populists who hnd opopsod Poyn
ter's nomlnntlon. Seeing thnt noth
ing could ho dono tho democrats do
mnnded thnt Mr. Poyntor should np
pear nt tholr convention and mnko
clear IiIb position townrd tho tompor
anco pooplo of tho stnto nnd whether
ho voro tied up with thorn. Ho np
pcarod boforo them, nnd, much to the
chogrln und humiliation of his popu
list friends, who had stood by him
from tho first, he said: 'I am from
Kentucky nud you undorntnnd my po
sition,' and Immediately a motion wns
mado that they ondorso his nomlnn
tlon, and It wns carrlod with a whoop.
To say thnt tho populists wero ombar
raBscd by tho position ho had taken
mildly expresses il ns thoro wnB no
sucn Ishuo boforo tho people Had
this been the last of tho matter th.
poopullBts and temperance pooplo ol
tho stato could hnve forgotten tho on
tiro doal. Tho least that could be
said about It nt that tlmo was that
ho was a very weak man or ho novor
would havo yloldod to tho domand
mado upon him. Nothing else could
bo dono at tho time and tho differont
elements convjjoslng tho fusion forces
rallied nnd congratulated thomsclvoj
believing thnt ho would straighten up
and show .his mottle later In tho cam
pnlgn. Among tho different elements
tha composed the fusion party wors
tho prohibition pooplo who desired to
oxpress themselves and to havo recog
nition. Thoy woro nllowed to ratify
and to congrntulnto Mr. Poyntor upon
his nomination. Ho nBEtirod them
that thoy had his sympathy, but hla fu
ture actions disappointed them. Whon
thoy asked the privilege of placing hl
namo and thnt of LloutonUnt Gover
nor Gilbert at the head of tholr tickot,
hnving beon led to bellevo that tl(ov
sympathized with them, upon ho tom
pernnco lssueo of tho day, they woro
rofusod this courtesy. Tho prohibl
tionsto havo not to this day forgottou
the cool rocoptlon Poynter gave them,
nud although ho and his Biipporters are
out slandering Mr. Dlotrlch, tho can
didate of tho republican pnrty for gov
ornor, and holding up their hands In
horror, warning tho people against any
supoprt thnt he mny recolvo, It will
not hnve much weight with thoso who
romombor the decolt and doublo
handed dcnl thnt ho mndo at his nom
ination In 1898. Tho argument nt thnt
tlmo thnt h oknow thut If ho allowed
his pumo to go upon tho prohibition
tickot would Iobo him many votes,
clearly 31owb tho charncter of tho mnn.
Tho fact alono would not havo much
significance had tho matter droppod
there, but his association and tlio rec
ognition that lie has given to the
worst element In tho political arena
of any pary In this state will not only
condemn him with tho prohibition
pooplo, but with all rospcctnblo poo
plo. "Tho mallclotiE and uncalled for at
tacks mado upon Mr. Dlotrlch and
falsehoods that nro continuously cir
culated have' alroady reacUid, as It is
Blmply another deal to miSlead honor
able pooplo and to cover up tho ac

element which cannot bo tolerated by
respectable people. His appointees of
tho Flro and Police commission of
Omaha ctnnd out as a warning to ev
ery respcctnblo man that ho cannot bo
tiusted In any manner 'n tho future.
One of tlio hardest flghta ever madoln
this stato, that common doconcy and
reBpectubillty should havo a -standing
In our Btato lnstltutlonB, was at Be
ntrlct., when Investigation showed that
tho whisky bottle waa tho solo causo
of tho disorganizing elements. Whon
Governor Pointer waB obliged to face
tho proposition ho chose rather to
stand by tho bottle, stating that It wns
purely democratic and nnd should
havo recognition. What waB oqunlly

"I am not surprised, at tho prosont
tlmo, that tho only recommendation
that ho Is seeking 1b to E-landor and
blacken tho charncter of hlo onponentB.
Govornor Poyntor's roputation and

hla roputation for truth and voracity

Thoro Is not a county In tho stato but
