STATE MMDS TALK, Correcting More of Governor Hoi comb’s Misrepresentations. - i ! ' * GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE.' fin Governor Plnyi Uttle fkit In the Tran—rtlon of Baslnaen—AnCnJut right j •n Superintendent Corbett—General ChorahUl end Mntnnl Ineumnoe. | : ZdNOOLN, Neb., Oct. 24.—At the be ginning of the last week of the cam* paign the atmosphere of the state capi tal has a decided tinge of republican confidence in the ontpome, and no re publican connected with the manage ment of the oanva'S has any reason to change his estimate of a liberal re publican majority for the entire ticket. Populists are basing sbme hopes on the trip which their candidate will make through the central part of the state November 2, but there is every reason to believe that republican sentiment is so perfectly crystallised that it cannot be shaken at any point by Mr. Bryan’s flying tour. There are indications that the mana gers of the democratio-populistic cam paign have little hope of carrying the state for Bryan, and are preparing to hedge and make a strong bid for sup port for Holoomb during the last week of the campaign. Already reports have been reoeived from a number of coun ties stating that the popoorats and dem opops are offering to give McKinley votes in exchange for Holcomb votes, and while it is not probable that many republicans are disposed to make the exenange, it is nevertheless not amiss to eaution them against such trades. The state is good for a major ity for the entire ticket, national and state, and it will be wise for every re publican to vote his ticket straight in stead of considering trading proposi tions. oo nr as Oovernor Holcomb >■ con cerned, he has been running a campaign strictly for himeelf for a couple of months past, and has had campaigners out working in his personal interest His leading oard has been a misrepre sentation of republican state officials and a glorification of himself. His rep resentations in regard to state educa tional funds have been referred to in a previous letter, wherein it was shown that the credit of the management and Investment of the permanent school fund has been entirely due to the re publican officials who oo apprise the board, and of whioh the governor is merely the presiding officer. Bothers Is nothing in that. That Two Hundred Thoasand Dollars. Governor Holcomb and some of his speakers have been very industrious in .. telling the voters of the state how he has saved two hundred thousand dollars by his careful and economical adminis tration of afTairs. In the first place there has been no such saving. The appropriations of the last legislature were pared down so that no suoh saving could be effected, the business of the various departments and state institu tions already being on an economical basis when Holcomb oame into offioe. He does not, in fact, have the disposi tion of any state funds except those ap propriated for the maintenance of his own offioe. He has the appointment of heads of most of the state Institutions, but he has little to say as to how the tends for these institutions shall be expended. Supplies for the state •nd all of the state institutions are purchased by the board of purchase and supplies, on competitive bids, and contracts are awarded to the lowest bid der. The conduct of the various insti tutions is entirely in the hands of the board of publio lands and buildings. It will bo found upon the olosest investi gation that the interests of the state have been carefully oonsnlted by these boards, and so far as Governor Hol comb's voioe and vote have gone, he has been equally considerate. There is no in timation to the contrary. But when the governor takes to himself the credit for an impassible saving, and re flects upon his brother offioials in the same connection, it is as well that the faots should be stated and generally un derstood. A Ctapalfi of Mhwjriouktloa, Dwlnt the peat few week* of the campaign there ia a (till stronger ten dency of the populist press and speak er* to break over the barriers of troth and make unfair attack upon some of the republican candidates. To the credit of republicans it can be said that they have not made this sort of a cam paign, and have not even shown a disposition .to retaliate, believing that tne troth will be found ont before election day and that justice will pro vail at the outcome. : State Superintendent Corbett is one of the officials who has been subjected to attacks which have no foundation in truth, reason or justioe. If the charges made against him by a few personal enemies ever required any refutation, it has been given posi tively and publicly long ago over the ■ighetnrea of men and women of the highest standing in the state. Among these are the farmer superintendent of the Omaha public schools; oh»nn«iw OanSeld. formerly of the Nebraska state university, and Hon. O. H. Mer rill of the board of regents of the state university. These have all shewn oust positively that Mr. Corbett’s course has bean above all reasonable censure, while his administration of his impor tant ofBoe has called forth the t«000 Teatimoniala.

The Semi Weekly State Journal, Lincoln, Neb., supplies the demand, as it will be mailed twice a week from now until January 1, 1897, for only 25 cents, or from now until January 1, 1898, for one dollar. The twenty-flve-cent proposition takes you all through the campaign, gives you the election returns, and through the balance of this year. A dollar for the great twice-a-week paper from now until January 1, 1898, is the biggest offer ever made to readers. All through the campaign, all through the Nebraska legislature, the congresses and the inau guration of a new president. Never since the war has so many incidents of vital interest to the masses been crowded into sixteen months, as there will be during this period. The Semi-Weekly Journal is almost as good as a daily.
