Jmk MaoColl took i homestead
■ adjoining what ia now tho eity of
Lexington, in 1870. 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. Go., and the following year he
took np the homestead where he
now lives. From the first he sno
needed, beoaose he had learned basi
• method as well as farm rontin*
The first oonnty clerk of Dawson
' eonaty was removed for cense, and
, HaeOoll was appointed in his place.
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. Font years later
he was an active candidate, but the
nomination fell to T. J. Majors. In

Dtraisa the excitement incidental
to the preeidential campaign the
state, congressional, senatorial and
county ticket should not be over*

all good men and competent to dis

Which they aspire. The vay to do

Is thx nomination of 0. M. 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.

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

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

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
