A. E. Cady is gaining strength
every day and from present indi
cations he is a sure winner. The
people of the Sixth are tired of pop
ulism in congress. Vote for Cady
and be in the brfnd wagon.
The biggest syndicate in the
country is that composed of the
—bUtoi m'nn owners, vrtao are today
spending thousands of dollars in an
attempt to elevate their ohampion,
W. J. Bryan, to the presidential
chair. _
If the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 is
such a good thing for the people,
why not coin it at the ratio of 1 to 1 ?
It would make more money, and
while there would only be a few
cents worth of silver in a dollar, the
popoerats would not care for that as
it would better satisfy the power be
hind the throne, the silver mine
owners.
These soulless corporations have
no money to pay their employes
deoent, living wages, but they will
ingly spend millions to further their
grasping greed.—Sun. *
Bight you are, and as an example
of tire “grasping greed” we call
your attention to the strike in a Colo
rado silver mine a few days ago.
That “soulless corporation” can
spend money to farther the cense of
Bryan ism bat cannot pey “decent,
living wages to their employee,” and
yon support their candidate so as
to place them in better position to
trample labor under foot, What a
friend of labor thou art, McHugh.
Oua fellow townsman, O. F. Biglin,
was nominated by the national demo*
oratie state convention last week, as
their candidate for lieutenant gover
nor. This is an honor worthily be
stowed. Mr. Biglin has been a life
long democrat, espousing the prin
ciples of that party sinoe boyhood,
and, although at times it would have
been to his financial' interest ’ to
suffer a change of his political
opinion, he has ever remained faith
ful to the party of Jefferson, Tilden
and Cleveland. He stands today
where he stood four years ago, and
where he has always stood, an advo
cate of sound money. While Ths
Fbotom does not agree with Mr.
Biglin upon some of the issues in
this campaign, it does so heartily
upon the money question, and de
sires to congratulate the national
democracy upon having selected so
able a champion as its candidate for
lieutenant governor.
THE ANSWER.
T. V. Goldin : Dear Sir—Your
effusion in the last issue of the
Flopper has been carefully perused,
and, while it may seem presumptious
in our attempting to answer so
soholarly a gentleman as yourself,
we will do so.
In your letter you wish to know
why it was that you were called a
political hypocrite, and, as you are
desirous of being answered, we will
give the voters of Holt county an
insight into your political contortions
and let them judge for themselves.
On the train coming from Omaha
after the populist national conven
tion, held in that city, you informed
J. L. Coppoc, so we are told, that
you had seen the error of your way
and that henceforth you would es
pouse populist doctrine, and Mr.
Coppoc introduced you to a number
of his friends as a recent convert to
populism. In the populist county
convention that fall you received
fourteen votes for county attorney.
Shortly thereafter you received and
aocepted the democratic nomination
for that office.
The democratic party was success
ful at the polls (nationally) and you
blossomed forth as a candidate for
register of the land offioe, which, of
oourse,you had a perfect right to do.
You were an ardent supporter of him
whom you now denounce, Grover
Cleveland—although being elected
upon what was practically a gold
platform—until after John A. Har
mon was appointed to the position
to which you aspired. This appoint
ment was made in the spring of ’04.
That fall, and, mind you, two years
after the Omaha convention, you
suddenly discovered that the national
platform of the democratic party was
a delusion and a snare, and—al
though astute gentleman that you
are it took you two years to discover
that fact—in a speech in the court
house you made a public profession
of populistic faith.
■ In the fall of ’95 you again bob
up as a candidate for offioe on the
populist ticket, defeating for the
nomination the man who snowed
you under in the county convention
inttae contest for delegates. For
this offioe you were defeated, and
*t the present time, a year later, we
again find you a democrat.
You say: “I was opposed to
fusion then when obtaining the
offices and the emoluments was the
only object I am opposed to it
now.” We rememember, friend
Tom, that a few years ago you
sought a proxy to attend a demo
cratic senatorial convention that was
held at Bartlett Your object was,
you said, to endorse the populist
nominee, Mr. Day, and, if we mis
take not, you secured the proxy, at
tended the convention and voted for
him.
Now, Mr. Golden, we come to the
most inconsistent part of your article.
In referring to the financial plank,
of which you were the author, yon
say: '‘The first paragraph endorsed
the national democratic platform of
1892 upon the financial question.
I endorsed that then, I endorse it
now.” Well, well! If von now
endorse the democratic platform of
of 1892, how can yon be an advo
cate of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to If
In yonr quotation from the
platform you only used a part
of the money plank, the part
you imagined would help your case.
The plank adopted by the democratic
national convention of 1892 is as
follows:
We denounce the republican legisla
tion known aa the Sherman act of 1890
m a cowardly makeshift fraught with
possibilities of danger in the future
which should make ail supporters as well
as its author anxious for its speedy re
peal. We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country and to the coinage of both gold
and silver, without discriminating
against either metal or charge for mint
age, hut the unit dollar of coinage of
both metals must be or equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintanence of the parity of
the two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and the payment of debts: and we de
mand that all paper currency shall be
kept at par with, and redeemable in such
coin. We insist upon this policy ae
especially necessary for the protection
of the farmers and the laboring classes,
the first and most defenseless victims of
unstable money and a fluctuating cur
rency.
What opinion would you form of
a man who endorsee the above plat
form and is, at the same time, de
fending one that is diametrically
opposed to it ? If it is not a sound
money platform then we are unable
to interpret the English language
composing it. How did President
Cleveland betray his followers by
not “introducing a bill fcr the free
and unlimited coinage of silver” at
the ratio of 16 to 1 ?
Yon say farther: “Believing at
that time, that Cleveland was an
honest man, and that he would
fulfill the pledges of the party plat
form by the introduction of a bill
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver upon the repeal of the
Sherman law, I was in favor of such
repeal.” We cannot see how you
or any democrat could expect Mr.
Cleveland to bring this country to
a silver basis when he was elected
upon a sound money platform.
There was nothing said about the
free and unlimited coinage of
silver in the platform, and what
reason had you to believe that he
would “introduce” such a bill?
“At that time Morton had not
shown the cloven hoof.” No, prob
ably nob His influence had not
been exerted to keep you from se
curing the appointment you were
after, and it certainly stood you in
hand to laud him.
Now, my dear sir, we regret that
it has become incumbent upon us
to lift the veil that screened your
political gyrations, but we believe
that if these lines are carefully per
used by you, then the time we have
devoted to your letter will not be
spent in vain, as you will have an
opportunity to see where Cleveland
“betrayed the party.”
“Cast thy bread upon the water
and it shall return after many days.”
The truth of this biblioal admonition,
like many others, daily occurranees
teach us to observe. In 1803 when
Occidental Bates introduced his
troublesome free silver resolution in
the county democratic convention
Golden and his minions, as cold and
unsympathetic as a boarding^ house
potato, jumped upon him with their
brogans and flattened him out four
degrees thinner than a liver pad,
but now Mr. Gulden admits over his
own signature that he was wrong
and Bates was right It must go
hard indeed with Mr. Golden to be
forced to concede that any man at
any time knew more than he did.
Thk free silver speakers tell us
that the price of silver regulates the
price of wheat; that when th8 white
metal falls, wheat, being in sympathy
with it also declines. During the
past ten days the price of wheat has
been going up and that of silver
down. How do our free silver friends
acoount for this? ' Has the bond of
sympathy been broken?
Rick, Trommershausser and Bene
dict are going to be elected. There
is no doubt about it. From all
parts of the county comes encourag
ing reports. You might as well vote
for them and make it unanimous.
Growing
Children
One-third of iH the children
die before they arc five years
old. Most of them die of some
wasting disease. They grow
very slowly) keep thin in flesh;
are fretful; food does not do
them much good. You can't
say they have any disease, yet
they never prosper. A slight
cola, or some stomach and
bowel trouble takes them away
easily.
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phites is just the remedy for
growing children. It makes
hard flesh; sound flesh; not
soft, flabby fat. It makes
strong bones, healthy nerves.
It changes poor children to
children rich in prosperity.
Book about it free for the asking.
No substitute for Scott's Emul
sion wUl do for the children what we
know Scott's Emulsion will do. Gat

Why Does Not Bryan Answer?
Mr. Bryan tells the farmer that free
coinage of Bilver will give them cheap
dollars with whioh to pay their debts.
Mr. Bryan tells city workingmen
that free coinage of silver will raise the
metal to $1.20 per onnce, bringing the
silver dollar to par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city workingmen another
dollar as good as the present one with
whioh to bny the fanners’ products.
That is to say, to the farmer the Bryan
silver dollar is to be a cheap dollar to
pay debts with. To oity labor the Bryan
dollar is to be a dollar of high purchas
ing power to bny with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produoe
these two dollars. It oan produoe only
one of the two. Why do not would-be
supporters of Mr. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farmer
who wants to pay debts and the work
ingman who must buy farm produce
are interested in having this question
answered.—Chicago Post.
Shaving the Pensions.
In his letter of acceptance Mr. Bryan
says: “Mo nation can afford to be un
just to its defenders.” Why, then, does
he propose to cut down the purchasing
power of soldiers’ pensions one-half by
paying them a 63-cent dollar? In his
speech in St. Louis on Saturday Mr.
Bryan said: “When you raise the price
of gold in a gold standard country you
lower the prices of all the products whieh
are measured by money.” He therefore
proposes to raise the prices of all pro
ducts by lowering the standard of
money. He would thus cut down the
purchasing power of the soldiers’ pen
sion one-half according to his own doc
trine; and this he calls justioe to the na
tion’s defenders.—Philadelphia Reoord
(Dem.)
Nebraska Political Notes.
The South Omaha Tribune, a Demo
cratic newspaper, came out squarely
last week for MoKinley and honest
money.
Tom Watson made several addresses
in the state lsst week for Tom Watson,
Populist candidate for vice president,
and talked fiat money from start to
finish.
The incendiary speeches of Groot and
Donnelly at Lincoln have not set well
with the thoughtful, law-abiding peo
ple of Nebraska, and have done the free
silver cause an injury.
At last aooounts Judge Greene had not
come to the soratoh in the proposed de
bate with A. E. Oady, candidate for
Jack MaoOdl, Republican candidate
for governor, has been campaigning in
weetern Nebraska with marked snoceee.
Bryan votes were a scarce article in
the recent encampment of the Nebraska
National Guard at Lincoln.
There is a growing coolness at Lin
coln toward candidate Bryan since he
went abroad to be notified and is stomp
ing the country instead of Staying at
home as becomes the dignity of a presi
dential candidate.
The Lincoln Journal publishes a con
tributed article showing that the Wil
son bill has knocked nearly ten dollars
per head off of Nebraska cattle and par
alysed the cattle industry in the state.
A party of old soldier notables will
make a flying railway tour in the state
next week, making short stops at sta
tions and making speeches for their old
comrade, Major McKinley.
Watson’s reception by the Populist
leaders of the state was more formal
than affeotionate, owing to the fear that
he might break in on their scheme tb de
liver the entire electoral vote of Ne
braska to Bryan and Sewall.
Walking in the middle of the road
may be a thankless piece of pedestrian
ism, but there are thousands of Popu
lists in Nebraska who want to take that
path. Notioe is made of their intention
to call a convention and nominate a
straights tete ticket and electoral ticket.
The electors will be for Bryan and Wat
son. If the Democratic managers don’t
like that they can very easily bring about
a peace by amputating the political head
of Mr. Sewall.—Lincoln Journal.
