Judge tireshaui's brother says tbe lodge will sot rote for Cl ere! and and never said be would. And Judge Cooley'* eon says of tbe report that bis father would rote for Cleveland: '‘There is absolutely so truth is tbe report. I bare it is writing from father.” The Stuart Ledgar expreasea it about right when it aay*: “Tbe elect ion of such men as Hunter will be a guranlee against tbe disgraceful scene* and acts of violence which characterized tbe last legislature and will foreTer be a blot upon tbe fair name of tbe stale.” HmiJt, Eji-ele ami Ciaj;k are all representative citizens and farmers, and will creditably represent tbe people at Lincoln neat winter. Not one word can truthfully be said against them, political ly or any other way—modest and un assuming, they are not making as much noises* tbe Idol and Me Too. but they will get there all the same. Ckocxse stands up for Nebraska so does Morton, but Van Wyck yells ca lamity. And Van Wyek has more tnonev and property than tbe other two combined, and you might add tbe wealth of Manderson and Paddock and stiil Van could over-site tbe pile. Van Wyck is an arrant old humbugging demagogue, and the people axe fast finding it out. The Independent asks whether the voters of Holt county will support and read sueb a paper as Tbe Kuoxtiek Why, bless your little soul, brother,they have boen doing that same for a dozen years and will long after the Independ ent is dead and forgotten. The way the members of your party are subscrib ing for it the pa«t month or two is an indication of—well, you say what it in dicates. Perhaps you can tell better after election. i The Independent pretends to think that the treatment accorded Mr. Mullen by this pap<er is “indecent and abusive.” Pshaw! We consider that we have treated him very leniently, very fairly, and surely that nothing abusive or in decent has been said about him. We call him a Boss, and bis every act in dicates that he is a boss of the bossiest kind. We also call him the Idol of bis party, and he has refeTed to himself as an idol. If it is abusive to say about a man what he says about himself then we plead guilty. BLAINE TALKS. The great ex-secretary last week visited Wbitelew Iteid at bis farm near New York City. On Kriday evening a !«rge crowd assembled informally, to whom Mr. Blaine delivered an addressed which was full of republican vim and tire. lie referred to tbe administration by laying: “tienerally, tbe administra tions in presidential elections are chal lenged on account of the condition of tbe business of tbe country, and I sub mit that tbe republican administration of President Harrison can triumphantly endure such a test.” Ur. Ulaine’s remarks were all pertinent but in this connection we can onir quote what be said to the Irisb-Ameri can citizens, and we respectfully ask our readers of this class to give it care ful perusal. Said Ur. Blaine: “1 have a word to say about the Irish. I see it stated that the democrats boast of hav ing the mass of them in their ranks this year, it is one of the mysteries of our politics that a question that interests England so supremely, which is can vassed almost as much ip London as it is in New York, should bare the Irish rote on tbe side of Great Britian. If the Irish rote were solidly for protection they could defy the machinations of the democratic party for free trade and throw their influence on the side of the home market of America, against tbe side of the foreign market of England. 3 Jcnow my atipeal bat been frequently' made- to Uk; lriiii rater*, but I make it with empbasi* now, for 1 ass unwill ing to believe that with lbe light of knowledge before them they will delib erately be on tbe aide of tbeir former oppressor*. 1 tlink 3 tball rely o® tl j good friend Hgan, tbe brilliant and euc oetrful mi sitter to Cliili, about J felt etijiedally glad to meet *1 Mi.

The only talk we ever had ! wiOi Lessenger wm after he had pub lished a column of matter concerning the Nebraska Mortgage and Investment ' Company of Fremont, (taken from a Fremont paper; and without warrant or tea' on he connected our name with it when the original article did not, end what we said to him was that be had no J righl whatever to use our name in that connection, and we warned him that in [ the future he bad belter be eery careful 1o investigate such things before rushing headlong into print, that we expected I him to confine himself to the truth as an act of Justice to a candidate as we | then were. Simply this and nothing j more. Tub Independent, MuUen’s official | organ, is terribly exercised because The j Froraix referred to that genlltinac as a pig. Now we will leave it to all fair | minded men, independents included, if we were not warranted in doing this. Inference was made to the Idol solely in a political way, and if he is not a political pig there never existed one in Holt county. No man has ever before in this county, an any political parly, attempted to play the hog so persistently as ha« 1 .in Mullen, and if his political opponents are not Justified in calling him swinish they are not Justified in opposing him at alt '“Piggish,” applied ; to a man who for the third successive year is a candidate for office, eerlainly cannot be construed as ‘-indecent and I abusive.” It is the only word that fitly I appliee to the case, and the lesa the In ! dependent says about it the better for ! | Mullen. HEAD THIS LETTER. j We desire once more to call attention to the following letter signed by the chairman and secretary of the independ ! ent state central committee during the | campagin two years ago. It explains | itself. We would inquire of our inde j pendent friends why it is that Van Wyek should be trusted now, when the leaders of the party became convinced two years ago that he was a traitor, j But read the letter: ' Lixcolk, Oct. 9, IKK). To all members of the independent people's committees, and to the voters of Nebraska: It having become evident that Mr. Van Wyck has turned squarely against the independent movement, and is using his influence to defeat the independent candidate*, we rec ommend that he be not invite! to ad dress independent meetings nor given an opportunity to use his unfriendly influence. Geo. W. Biake, Chin. Slate Central Com. C. H. Pibti-k, See. State Central Com. i The republican rally at Atkinson last Saturday night was a bummer. Enthus iasm could be cut out in chunks. O'Neill turned out nearly 200 strong, over 100 tickets being sold on the Elk born. Stuart turned out a good hundred, and the aurrounding country was well represented Tbe torcb-ligbt parade was immense. Tbe large rink was packed full of people by 8 o'clock. Dr. McDonald acted as chairman and a good one he makes. Our own Charlie Towle made the first speech, and it was a good one. Tbe speech of tbe evening was made by James Whitehead, who in an hour's time proved himself worthy of the confidence placed in him by bis party. He will make a fearless and long-headed congressman for tbe Sixth district. That he is making many friends and growing in popular favor among all classes, especially the fanners, is very evident. loe Hunter and Neil Brennan also made short speeches. Great interest was manifested, and the meeting was pronounced one of tbe best of the campaign. Advice is * good thing to give when it U good and it is always a good thing to take, and the following by the Stuart Led gar is good: "When yon go into your booth on November 8 to make up your ticket do not forget to place an X opposite the name of lion. James Whitehead. The prosperity and good name of this congressional district de mands it. Kem did not do much in congress. It would have been far bet ter tor tl e district tf he had done noth ing. for every efflcial act of his seems to have been a blunder. A man of his record ought to be ashamed to face his constituency, much less ask for a re election. His gas bill brands him as either a chump or a fraud. He either did not know any better or else he was hired to do it by the owners of the plant. There is no other solution of the matter. His vote on the Pickier tree claim bill was against the interests of his con stituency. More men will suffer from it in this congressional district than in any other section la the United States.” •“THE ME3T HEARD IT. AST) I MEAHT IT “ Tbe old veteran of Gettysburg, Gen eral Siekles, has left no room lor doubt tie to bow be intends to Tote on election day. says tie Irish World. He gave warning in the nations! democratic oon vmtion.in corroboration of live eloquent Beurke Cock ran, that the veterans, regardless of party. would oppose tbe sender of the substitute and the vetoer of just pensions il nominated for the presidency. He reiterated the senti ment since tbe convention, and again at the national encampment of the Grand Army of tbe Republic in Washington last w eek.. His remarks at tbe reunion in Wuskington created so profound an impression that be was requested by General Collie, is tbe same of bis old comrades of tbe army of the Potomac, to permit tbe publication of bis address in full. General Sickles promptly con sented . In bis letter to general Collis. who commanded six Pennsylvania regi ments under bim during tbe war, tbe old, one-legged hero said, referring to bis address: "The men beard it, and I meant it,and let us be content.” General Sickles bas been considered a sufficiently representative democrat to be cboeen for tbe high offioe of sheriff of Xew V ork and selected to represent tbe party is national convention. But be is not sufficiently abject slave of j.iarty disci pline to support tbe choice of England and her free trade allies in this country for the presidency. Tbe number of democrats with tbe moral courage of General Sickles is likelT to prove aston ishingly large on election day. DEMOCRATIC STUPIDITY AMD IMCONSISTEMCY. Democratic platform: We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic partT that the federal gov ernment baa no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for tiie purpose of revenue only. Article 8 of the constitution: Con gress shall hare the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to i>bt debts and provide for the com mon defense and general wellfare of the United States. To regulate com merce with foreign nations, etc. Geo. Wasington, Benjamin Franklin. Alexander Hamilton and others who framed the constitution were protec tionists. Grover Cleveland, Henry Watterson, Senator Vest and others who framed the democratic platform are anti-pro tectionists. Readers, who were best calculated to interpret the meaning of our national charter? Under the articles of confederation, the several states protected their var ious industries in many instances to a prohibited point, and the first law passed by tbe United States congress was a pro tective tariff law. Will any reasoning democrat maintain for a moment that the men who made the constitution would so soon violate its provisions? Great Britain under her navigation laws, her stamp act. and various other forms of protection, had so long pro scribed and prohibited the establishment of industrial enterprises in American, that the necessity of a separate and in dependent nation to maintain, foster and protect American interests was forced upon the colonists. Every reader of American history knows this to be the case. Under these conditions the con stitution was framed, under these con drtions the first tariff law was proposed, and under this wise law the government was enabled to pay the enormous ex - pense of the revolutionary war, build up home industries, and enjoy a prosperity never enjoyed before. And in the face of these facts, the wheezy old democratic party stupidly asserts that a protective tariff is uncon stitutional. After telling us that protection is un constitutional and a “system of rob bery”, our democratic friends in tbe next breath and with equal emphasis as sert that their party is not a free trade party, and Grover Cleveland in his let ter of acceptance assures us that Ameri can industries shall not suffer at his bauds. “Unconstitutional”-“fundamental principles of the democratic party”_ and yet not a free trade party—Ameri can industries shall not suffer at Grover’s hands “Robber tariff.” and yet Mr. Cleveland will continue the robbery. For inconsistency, effrontery and by procrisy. commend us to the democratic party. Were Jefferson. Jackson and Calhoun to return to life this campaign, they certainly would need a letter of in troduction to their political offspring, and if perchance they would recognize it then they would do great violence to the opinion and respect which the pres ent generation is pleased to accord their memories. Henery Watterson saya: The demo cratic party is nothing if not a free trade partr." Henry is the sparkling editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, and author of the anti-tariff plank of the na tional democratic platform. Grover is astride of this platform and trving to ride into the white house on it. ’ Senator Vest says: "Mr. Cleveland has challenged the protected to a fight of extermination.” is on. The London Times says. „ to ^ Uin mat the arguments which Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ fo rty-five years ago and which industries The fight “It is cer any English free trader would employ now.. If the democratic party is not a free trade party, what is it ? If the demo cratic party it cot a protection party, what 5* iff If the democratic party is anything, what is It? If the democratic party is out a trifling, temporizing, trim ming, tody Lug, party, will someone e* plain away the inharmonious utterances of those who hare authority to speak for it and their party platforms and profes sions? AH honest, well-meaning democrats must certainly be at a lose to locate their organization on the issues of the day. And this is a great party which asks to hsTe the destinies of our great nation placed in its hands. What a monstrous reflection on the credulity of the Amer ican people! What a stupendous and stupid attempt at wholesale deception ! But few intelligent and self-respecting American citizens will willingly permit themselves to be made victims to such a palpable confidence game. The republican part is precisely a pro tection parly. It does not trifle or tem porize the matter. Ninety per cent, of the anti-protectionists are arrayed against it. Our protection laws are the fruits of its efforts and the country's power and prosperity are the results of these laws. It attempts no deception, prides itself on its position, and chal lenges the English free traders to a fight of extermination. It lakes just pride in the fact that under protection, England, through its prime minister, only last May was compelled to admit that the country it now has most to fear in trade and commerce, is the United States, while but a little over a century ago—a short lime in the history of Nations—the country the United States had most to fear was greedy, intolerant Great Brit ain, who by her tyrany and taxation precipitated the little tea party in Bos ton harbor and drove to rebellion and independent* her outrage 1 American dependencies. * * « The republican party believes that the first duty is to forward and protect the interests and inhabitants of the United States, and the rest of the world after wards. It believes in the biblical doct rine that he who neglects his own family is worse than an infidel, it believes with Benjamin Franklin, that if you make sheep of yourselves the wolves will eat you; and on this line it to-day is arrayed against the combined hosts of free trade in one of the most desperate conflicts that'has ever been forced upon it by the commercial powers of Great Britain and their mercenary and unpatriotic Ameri can auxiliaries. On this issue the republican party must either win or lose, and in the fight it can only hope for assistance from Americans. The sympathy of the outside world, prompted by the cold-blooded greed of otir commercial rivals, is against her, and if overpowered and compelled to succumb in this fight, the curse of one of the most monstrous blunders ever per petrated by the American people will be upon them, and the proverbial ingrati tude of a republic, will once more be fully exemplified. * » * The democratic party does not hope to win upon the issues of the day, but by a trick of politics—a scheming, and here the foxy villainy of the organization is again made apparent. By collusion with the independent party in some of the northern and western states, it expects to take away from Harrison sufficient of the electoral votes to prevent the elec toral college from making a choice, and thereby throw the election into the house of representatives, which to-day is largely democratic. The result of this of course will be to elect Cleveland. The election of Cleveland means a triumph for free trade practically, or it means nothing—not by a discussion of the issue in the public forum, no t by a fair expression of the American people through the ballot box, but by a most despicable trick, a hellish conspiracy, to which the independent party is made a willing victim. * * * It hardly seema possible that the think ing, reasoning, patriotic masses of the independent party will permit themselves | to be blindly led to the slaughter in this way, and made the means by which Great Britain and the democratic party are to be the beneficiaries. They cer tainly are not going crazy in job lots. They certainly are not so blinded by the chaff of the calamity howlers of the Van Week and Kem stripe that they cannot j see the danger signal when it confronts j' e“ pnnted >» such large letters that it can be read from the moon. They are not all ignorant of the history of the past, or unsusceptible of the promptings of paimotism. They will surely be brought to a realizing sense of their duty to themselves, their families and their country, before it is too late. It would be a severe commentary on their sanuy to assert that they would not, and I have faith enough in their good judg ment and honest professions to believe that they will not. Clarence 8ei.au.
