Wn suppose that if Crawford should
draw a salary as supervisor while he
was attending a meeting of a populist
central committee or convention, or
something of that kind, that bis follow
ers would say it was all right and rise
up and call him great.
Trb efforts of Ed Fry,6f the Niobrara
Pioneer, to defeat Tom Majors may be
commendable—in hit own mind—but the
end in view does not justify him in
crediting to this Journal a lot of rot that
never appeared in these columns. Tub
Frontier prefers to think that the
offense was unintentional, but trusts
that It may not occur again.

What conclusion are we to draw from
Senator Wilson’s warm reception in
England? Are we to conclude that the
' demonstrations were mere outbursts of
Joy from the hearts of the Britons at
... what they termed America’s emanci
pation from high prices, or are we to
' Conclude that they rejoiced over new
fields opened for the finished products
of their panper labor? Let the ghost of
former prosperity come forth from the
stillness of our tomb-like factories and
make reply.
Mbt, in the World-Herald, affects to
think It very strange that Thurston re
fused to outline a platform by which he
would be governed if elected to the
senate. There is nothing strange about
it and Metcalf knows it. When a man
Is elected by a political party he is in
honor bound to carry out the platform
Of that party, no matter what his per
sonal views may be. If he doesn’t care
to do that he has no tight to accept a
nomination. There is nothing strange
in the fact that Thurston refuses to
debate upon any platform other than
that of the republican party.
The Jew intimates that Scott’s letter,
which caused such a flutter among the
purified, was wiitten in this office. Cf
course the editorial fool doesn’t believe
anything of the kind—he simply pre
sumes upon the intelligence of his read
ers and his ability to dupe them. Time
is coming, and swiftly too. when Kautz
man can find no man so depraved as to
place any confidence in him. There is
no editor, no matter how great, or how
large his following, that can make a suc
cess of lying continually to his readers.
Scott wrote the article that appeared in
this paper over his signature and no
honest man doubts it, and few doubt the
truthfulness of his assertions.
If Crawford combines business and
pleasure during his senatorial canvass,
it need surprise no one. Business, as
used in this case, means hunting office:
That’s his occupation. Pleasure, to him,
is inspecting bridges and drawing mile
v age and per diem therefor. If the peo
ple In the extreme southern part of the
county buy lumber and build a little cul
vert he goes down to inspect it, even
though the donators of the material send
him an urgent invitation to remain at
home. John is so wonderfully and fear
fully made that he can Inspect bridges
and appraise land all in the same day
and draw pay for services both as super
visor and appraiser. Great fellow, that
’ man Crawford. '
Billy Bbyav in his Sunday World
Herald treats his readers to quite a flow
of words on the income tax and, almost
J tragically, exclaims “where are the
republicans on this question?” We do
not know that we are authorized to
speak for the republican party on this
question, but we ean speak for ourselves
as a unit, and in so doing would say that
as a theory the income tax is all right,
but put into practice it has never been
satisfactory and the democrats them
i .1.1* . iLfttitCX
selves were tbc first to demand Its repeal
In war times. Yes, Billy Boy, your
income theory is Rood, but don't over
look the fact that the democratic party
once declared against it, and if you now
want to return to your vomit do it
stealthily and in darkness without osten
tation. Y’our clause in the hill exempt
ing the income from government bonds
—the income of those terrible bloated
bondholders—should certainly commend
itself to the amalgamation of which you
are a part.
On our local page this week we pub
lish a letter from Jake Roll stating that
be does not intend to withdraw from the
race for county attorney. We are glad
that this is so but we fail to exactly
grasp his meaning when he says he
thinks he should have been consulted
before the matter was publicly an
nounced. No amount of consultation
could have altered the fact that the mat
ter was talked of by a few republicans,
and we insist that in our article no
wrong was done Mr. Roll. Tnis Fhon
tier was among the first to urge Mr.
Roll’s nomination and has no reason at
this time to doubt that its judgment was
good. Ue is a clean, capable man and
worthy the support of the voters of
Holt county. Below we reproduce the
article to which Mr. Roll seems to take
exceptions, and desire to add that if
fair-minded republicans can find any
open or hidden meaning in it in any
way damaging to Mr. Roll we are ready
to stand corrected:
A report, winch has the color of
authenticity, is afloat to the effect that a
move is on foot among certain republi
cans to pull Jake ltoll out of the race
for county attorney and substitute It. J.
Hayes. We confess that we cannot see
the advisability of this move, or where
anything is to be gained. Mr. ltoll was
the unanimous choice of the convention,
made up of republicans representing
every township in the county, and not
withstanding he was not a candidate, it
seems to us to be the heightb of imperti
nence for anybody to request him to
pull out. But in case he should decide
to withdraw, which we trust he will not,
it is quite probable that the county
central committee will have something
to say about who is put up to fill the
vacancy. This thing of a few men
manipulating the machinery to suit
their own sweet will is about played out.
Votem stood aghast and were amazed
when the charge was made that Scott
had used county funds for campaign
purposes, and the independents used
that as their only argument against re
publicans in the campaign of one year
ago. We desire to ask those voters who
took the matter so much to heart, what
the difference, if any, would be in Scott
using county funds and John Crawford
using county funds for the same pur
pose? Our readers are all aware that at
the time Scott’s bondsmen <offered to
settle and the settlement was .rejected,
that the board immediately instructed
the clerk to draw a warrant for $500
payable to the chairmun of the legal
committee) to be used in prosecuting
county litigation. This legal committee
went down to Neligh to attend the §cott
trial. Crawford was there during the
whole time as a witness, drawing per
diem right along when he could have
returned after the first day and saved
this county several dollars. But this is
just an incident and not the main point.
While he was at Neligh doing nothing
but drawing two dollars each day from
Holt county, the independent senatorial
convention was called to meet at O'Neill,
and Honest John, to give the bee in his
bonnet a chance to escape, wanted to
attend the convention. He was finan
cially embarrassed. A happy thought
struck him and be went to the legal
committee and tapped them for 810 for
himself and $10 for his friend Cord
Smith. The committee did not owe
him the money. And that was the way
Honest John came to O’Neill to secure
the independent nomination. The inde
pendent legal committee that loaned
him the money is a partaker of the
crime. While we were not an eye wit
ness to this transaction we have it direct
from headquarters and we do not be
lieve it can be successfully contradicted.
It will do no good to say that he repaid
the money. That cuts no figure in the
case. Scott might have done the same
thing had he been allowed an
opportunity.
The Nebraska Republic, Omaha, says,
and it speaks by the card, that the Ne
braska Business Men’s association or
ganized on Tuesday in Omaha on pure
ly non-partisan basis and with the single
aim in view of saving the credit of the
state by preventing the election ot a
populist state government. A large and
well attended meeting was held on Wed
ensday, fallowed by the appointment of
a strong executive committee, which
convened in the Paxton block for the
purpose of completing the organization.
Its members comprises at the outset a
majority of the influencial wholesale
and business men of Douglas county. It
will be added to within the next fe^
days by four or five times the number.
The organization proposes duiing the
coming weeks of the campaign to ex
tend itself into every town and hamlet
of the state and to bring before the peo
ple of Nebraska the great menace which
is now hanging over them in order that
disaster to the state and to individuals
might be averted. The organization is
specifically limited to working for the
defeat of populism. Its members are
pledged to this end and this end alone.
Upon other questions they are left free
to their own party and individual prefer
v*f, .• r, rf.
ences, but upon the Issue of the defeat
of populism and fusion, whose only aim
is to turn the state over to a populist
governor and with it beyond question to
a populist legislature, the Nebraska
Business Men’s association are a unit.
Many of its members in the meetings
held yesterday and today produced the
stiongest of evidence from correspond
ents and from business connections out
side of Nebraska that the election of
Judge Holcomb would be the most mon
umental disaster to the progress ahd
the prosperity of the state which has
ever befallen this commonwealth. -Sta
tistics were produced from Kansas and
Colorado. These were not from assist
ant cashiers of small banks in the east
ern part of the state or from secretaries
of local loan companies, as the statistics
with which Editor Rosewater attempted
to'answer the charges that populism
would be a calamity, were secured.
But they were from great financial in
terests, from large wholesale merchants,
from individual loaners of capital and
from men whose interest it is to watch
carefully the rise and fall of credits, and
who had learned from bitter experience
as principals and agents that not even a,
crop failure or a grasshopper scourge
bad proved such a bar to investment in
the western states as rampant and
triumphant populism.
