His anoeetora wore Sootoh, and his early manhood was sprat on a Canadian farm. He left home in 1880 and immediately set oat for the west His first work was as a laborer for the Union Pacific B. B.

He hold the ofloe thirteen yearn, although he took it in the beginning under protest He has never been an office-seeker, nor a p^'tiHan in the aooeptad sense. He served one i term in the Nebraska legislature, •ml a capable, conscientious member. In 1880 his friends in \ ■ western Nebraska urged him to be < 4 come a candidate for the republican r nomination for governor, and he ra il Instantly consented. L. D. Bichards was nominated.

Fer guson, of Inman, by the republican supervisor convention of the Fifth distaiet, the delegates acted wisely. Hr. Ferguson is a young man of sterling quality and unimpeachable character and will carefully guard tile interests of the people on the county board. Vote and work for Ferguson. Tan republican . candidates for representatives can be numbered as being among the ablest and clean est men ever nominated for office in this county. This will be a business session in every sense of the word and it behoves the oitisens of Holt eounty to see that they have repre sentatives there who will carefully guard their interests. Vote for Trommershauaser and Werts. It sum a waste of words to laud the character of J. A. Rice, the re publican candidate for the legis lature. To almost every voter in western Holt county he is personally known. No one has ever had a business transaction with him who did not find him fair and scrupu lously honest in his business trans actions and his dealings with his fellow men. Sinoe the beginning of the campaign the writer has heard more than one man make the remark in substance: “Mr. Rice is a man of whom I have yet to hear a dis paraging remark” It is an important item to western Holt oounty that one of our number, a man identified with our own interests represent us in, the legislature. Ur. Rice is honest, capable, conser vative and judioious. He is a man of ability. He took a classical course in one of the best colleges in Iowa and graduated with honor and dis tinction. He would be an able and useful member of the legislature and would command the respect of his colleagues and would acquit himself with distinction and credit His friends, and they are legion, should be diligent in his interests. Not only his but they should remember also his running mate, J. A. Trom mershauaser. A good, hearty sup port given “Trom” in the west end will be reciprocated by his friends in the east.—Stuart Ledger. »»■ BAUUOH B BHICH. The republican party fronts the destruotionists and trampets its de fiance to the enemies of sound money. It will fight, however, with out oovering any of the glorious mottoee and inscriptions that are upon its banner. The atmosphere of the Ohicsgo convention was surcharged with the spirit of revolution. I am quite as much opposed to cheapening the American working, men and workingwoman as I am to] cheapening our dollars. The courts are the defense of the Weak. The rich and powerful, have other resources, but the poor have not, ' We can eoin silver freely, but we cannot make sixteen ounces of silver' equal to one of gold unless it is. The first dirty errand that a dirty dollar does is to cheat the working pian. . ‘ ■ l! The question is whether’- Mr. Bryan's view of the constitutional question shall prevail or that of the august tribune appointed by the oaoriitutioo to settle it. The Republican Party's State Can* didates. btahd high nr public favob. Strmgwt TUskat Bnr FWmtit to tto ▼•tors at MhMto-lta Wlaoan tor Comgrmm. It is now nearly three monthi alnee the Republican state ticket was plaoed in nomination, and dnrlng the whole of this time the opponents of Republican iam in Nebraska hare not been able to breathe a word derogatory to any can didate, or to aaaail the ticket aa a whole on any material point. Aa a matter of fact the ticket aa a whole ia the beat that haa been put in the field In thia state for many years. The comment of the press of Ne braska upon the nomination of Jack IfaoOoll has been the most flattering ever aooorded the candidate of any party in this state for tin gubernatorial olfloe, and the enthnaiaam that Waa shown ia the beginning haa not only not shitted but haa grown with each week of the campaign. His oanvaas thua far haa been almost entirely in the wee tern part <f the state, whioh section ia respond* ing nobly and promises the greatest Re publican rote shown sinoe the inception of the Populist movement. It is hot neoeasary to dwell upon Jack IfaoOoU’a personal fitness or business qualifica tions, because they are well known to au men. It is enough to say that his manliness and great-heartednsas ate sure passports to the affections at the people, and there is ground for the be lief frequently expressed that he will lead the entire Republican ticket, even though the tioket be exceptionally strong through and through. Orlando Tefft is one of the pioneers'of Nebraska, and has a peculiar hold upon the people at Oasa oounty, where he has resided for so many yean. That regard extends to all parts of the state where he is known, and that is throughout nearly all of the length and breadth of Nebraska. He has held various posi tions ef public trust and had served sev eral terms in the legislature of the state without one word having ever been breathed against his personal character or official acts. He will make a oapable, honorable, conscientious presiding offi cer of the senate, and if emergency should ever require, would fill with sat isfaction the executive offioe. Joel A. Piper, who has served one term as secretary of state and was re nominated unanimously, by tion, was entirely deserving of that com pliment. He has conducted the affairs of the offioe and served as a member of the various state boards to which he be longs with both intelligence and fidelity to the publio interests,having no *t»«»»g*it except the interests of the people of the whole state. His election. cannot-pe unanimous, like his nomination, but it will follow as the reward of good offi cial oonduot. The nomination of P. O. for auditor was more than a recognition of the Swedish-American and the foreign voting element of the state. He. has served nearly four years as deputy auditor and has proven to the people his fitness in every resjpeot to fill the of fice as Its chief. He is one of Nebraska’s best business men, ha is a htgb.«.iw^«^ gentleman of irreproachable character, and is ih fact one of the kind of «wi that all men delight to honor. All of the beat qualities of manhood and the highest attributes of the suc cessful and honorable businesn man are combined ia Charlee E. Oaaeyv the par-. ty’e nominee for state treasurer. He has been known for many yetusin the business and political circles of Nebraska and never has aa evil been breathed against his name. As a banker he has been conservative, safe, and hon orable in his dealings with all men. tii<t fact is attested by the nmarkalils unan imity of sentiment ia his favor through* out southern Nebraska where he is best known, and by the people ef all parties in his own oounty who Jain la the testi monial of confidence that has been sent out bo the entire people of the state. The office of attorney general hm never been better managed the incumbency of A. 8. Churchill, the nominee far reflection. He has shown himself to be a lawyer ef ability, and no personal interests or political prejudices have ever swayed in the least the decis ion* that he haa been ealled upon to ren der. His ra-leotion will be a jut recog nition at his KKIHMts and personal integrity. Captain H. O. RuaraU, the old easier candidate, ia as heave and fearless inithc discharge at his afflcial duties as he was courageous ia helping to beat down armed sc rend on. Helen faithful and competent official. He knows nothing but his duty and he doee it at all He ia a strang man personally and his oeadidaoy adds strength to Os entire ticket. Th» candidate* for supreme iadgeaar* Jndga H. P. Kinkaid of O’Neill, and Hon. Robert Bran of Unooln. Jodcn Kinkaid'a popularity In* been attmtedn oonple of times by his election to the fistatot Judgeship in a Populist district. Mr. Ryan la oae of the leading lawyers of the state and stands high at the easter county bar. Both are well qnal ifled for eervioe npon the supreme beach. The eleotoral candidates are: Prude J. Sadilek, J. B. Honta, A. J. Bom ham. A. a Poster. Sol Draper, O. A. Derby, J. L. MePheeley and M. L Preese. Bvacy voter who wants to be counted for McKinley and Hobart, and. that if what a majority of the rotors of Nebraska want, Will place a oheokmark opposite these names npon the official, ballot. The Republican congressional candi date* in the six districts are as follows: In the Pint, J. B. Strode, of the city of Lincoln, who has served one term and whom re-election is assured. Dev* Mercer has sored two terms In the Seo ond or Omaha distrlot and will be re turned (or the third term by a rousing majority. Ross Hammond, the capa ble youug newspaper man of Fremont, has been nominated in the Third dis trict, and while he has to meet the uni ted opposition of the Democrats, Popu lists and free silverites, he has a hoat at friends and there is little doubt of his election. Congressman Hainer, again a candidate in the Fourth district, has made an'admirable record and his re election is a foregone conclusion. Con gressman Andrews has a walkaway for the re-election in the Fifth, as a result of the excellent service that he has given in the past. A. E. Cady, the “giant” of the big Sixth, ia making a magnificent campaign against odds, but his ability and honesty are recognized by the masses and reports from the district give every assurance that he will over come the fusion majority that he had to meet at the outset of his campaign. All of the candidates of the Republi can party in Nebraska stand for safe, conservative, and a businesslike admin istration of public affairs, and their elec tion along with the majority that Ne braska will give the national ticket, will go hand in hand with the return at bet ter conditions and a renewal at prosper ity in state and nation. And bow we ate told- by the local Bryan organ that 90 per cent of the engar beet growers of Metoe county will ▼ote for Bryan. If this were literally true It would only show that the sugar beet growers of Nebraska are willing to abandon beet growing and go back to growing oora and oats. Nobody has tried to stab the beet sugar industry aa persistently as has William Jennings Bryan and nobody has worked harder than he to give the foreign sugar beet grower preference orer the American mgar beet grower. The best sugar producers of Germany, Austria, Franoe and Belgium receive bounties on all the sugar they export to the United States. But Mr. Bryan is not willing to give the American sugar beet raisers any protection either in the shape of bounty or import doty to en able them to compete in their own mar ket with the foreign product raised by half-paid labor. Mr. Bryan’s principle has been: “Buy in the cheapest mar ket and let home industry take care of itself the,best it can.” The sugar beet growers of Nebraska know all. this and that is one reason why they will not ▼ote for Bryan. In Taring against him they Trill only be carrying out Bryan’s own precept that they should cast their votes for their own interests.—Omaha Bee. __ MHm Him Tor in IlMT Tltw of Bis Bslag Thoroughly JbMrtaii* must Tassos Money. In 1867 the price of wheat ranged from 91.66 to |2.87 per bushel, end the per oapita circulation of money in the United States was 918.98. In 1877 the prioe of wheat ranged from 91.01# to 91.76# per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was 916.68. In 1887 the price of wheat ranged from 66# oenta to 94# cents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was 929.46. In 1894 the price of wheat ranged between 60 oenta and 66# oents per bushel and the per capita circulation of money was 924.80. If mom money is all that is needed to Insure a better prioe for wheat, will some of the Bryimlte school of poli ticians bring their ponderous intellects to bear upon these figures and explain bow it is that wheat commanded three times mom money when the per oapita circulation was from 916 and 918 than it does now when the per oapita circu lation is about 9287—27. Y. Oommerdal Advertlser. Be it remembered that, Monday, Sep- I leather 14, 1896, in Omaha, ▲. D. Benner met one R. L. Metcalf, manag ing editor of the Omaha World-Herald, and that the said Metcalf, editor of the World-Hearld, then and there told the ■aid Beemer: “Ton can go up to the OoMaonm tonight and see a big crowd, bat yon will not hear Bonrke Cochran.” And now the name Metcalf in the rant, moribnnd organ of diehoneat debtor*, denie* the premeditated, organised rowdyism of the silverites which dis graoed Omaha at the meeting Monday night, September 14, 1896.
