Mr. Leepbr did not leap into office
with the acclaim he anticipated.
Garter Harrison, democrat, was
elected mayor of Chicago. He seemB
to be as popular as his father was.

Leaders who do not lead, is what
the democratic party is overstocked
with, in congress and out of
congress.
Judging from the election returns,
from eastern cities, the democrats
are still alive. But where are the
populists?
- It is now stated that there will
be not less than live candidates in
the first campaign for mayor of
Greater New York.
Tin free trade democrats should

Sou of the democrats in the
house insisted upon voting for the

Thi first chapter in the amend

Grand Island Democrat rapidly to

it advocates, it would be one of the

Could the anti-irrigationists find
no one to ran for director bnt J. W.
Leeper, a man who became a free
holder on March 27, or two days
after the petition nominating him as
a candidate for that office, was filed
with the secretary of the board.
To be a good letter writer will be
one of the necessary qualifications
for a populist candidate for a state
office in the future. Our own Jack
son, who fills the office of state
superintendent, is liable to be shut
out after the first heat. He never
practiced the art in politics.
The dedication of the Grant
mausoleum in New York is going to
be made ah event worthy of the
name of Grant. The president and
his cabinet, and doubtless a consid

representatives, will go over from
Washington, and foreign nations
have been invited to send warships.
Senator Hansbrouoh thinks the
business relations between the U. S.
government and the solicitors of
patents are too close for the latter to
use lottery sohemes in their business;
hence the introduction of his bill
making it illegal for a solicitor of
patents to offer any prize or prem
ium to inventors by means of so
called competitions, or in any other
way.
Billy Bbyax’s southern partner in
the race last year is still unconvinced.
‘‘Compare the sale of Bryan’s booh
now,” he writes in his Atlanta paper,
“with those of Coin’s Financial
School in 1804, and you get a fair
idea of the decline of public interest
in the single issue of silver coinage.
Harvey'B book outsold Bryan’s at
the Japanese ratio of about 32} to 1.

Pbiob to the city election the
adherents of populistic doctrine said
there was no political issues in this
election. But as soon as the ex
pressed will of the voters on their
choice for mayor was made known,
several advocates of the white metal
informed the 'writer that free silver
again carried O’Neill. They claim
it was a great 16 to 1 victory. Let
us see. Last fall the Bryan electors
received a majority in this city of
about 60 votes. On Tuesday Gil
lespie received a majority of 23,
making a loss to tie silver cause of
87 votes, if they wish to claim it as
a silver victory.
BEACHING THE LAST~STAGE.
There is no orime so great as that
committed against the people’s suf
frage. The ballot box is the foun
dation stone of our liberties and the
guarantee of the rights of citizen
ship. The murderer is a menace to
society. The thief is obnoxious in
the eyes of all honorable people.
The embezzler is a betrayer of both
public and private trusts. But in
all this round of criminality there is
a mere personal responsibility. In
dividuals do not condone their
offenses and large aggregations of
people do not connive to save them
from the penalties of their follies,
they must stand alone.
Nebraska has been under the con
trol of the republican party since the
admission of the state into the Union.
During that time the number of
state officials, who have betrayed the
trust reposed in them has beyp com
paratively small. Embezzlement
and malfeasance have sometimes
been punished, and in every instance
the attempt to administer the proper
penalty has been made. Neither
republican officials nor politicians,
nor the organization of the party,
has been called in to protect a crim
inal or to beoome a party to a orime.
The republican party has always had
a healthful respect for law. The
republican polioy in case of dis
agreement has been (hat of recourse
to the courts. That policy has
always been to submit disputed
points under the law to a decision of
the higher court upon the constitu
tionality of a legislative enactment.
That is the position that the party
maintains in Nebraska at this time.
No republican in this state today
has been heard to condone the offices
of the defaulting state auditor and
treasurer. When it is shown that
they are guilty there is a unanimous
republican demand for their punish
aaeni. . Republicans believe that
they should be held strictly account
able for illegal and criminal acts.
These acts have been committed as
individuals, and. not as representa
tives of the republican party, or by
and with the advice of a party cau
cus or cable.
Not long since a conspiracy was
hatched in this state to amend the
constitution of Nebraska by fraud.
It had the sanction of and was form
ulated by men high in official posi
tion and in the councils of a certain
political party. In order to carry
out this plot three members of the
house of representatives were un
seated, whose, right to hold their
seats was unquestionable. A special
act was then passed .for a recount of
the constitutional amendment bal
lots. The work of recounting was
delegated to a rank partisan com
mission. An order of the district
court of Lancaster county enjoined
further counting of the ballots when
the work had been about half com
pleted, until the higher court could
pass upon the constitutionality of
the act creating this commission.
By order of the house of representa
tives these ballots were taken pos
session of by the sargent at arms of
that body and his deputies. In
other words these ballots were* stolen
from the commission. The resolu
tion directing the theft did not and
can not repeal the previous statute.
A republican member of the com
mission addressed a letter to the
governor alleging certain frauds in
the counting of the ballots, and was
dismissed from the commission for
his pains. The'governor would not
take notioe of the charges. A reso
lution was introduced in the house
to investigate them but the resolu
tion was voted down. It is now
proposed to repeal the previous
recount act and pass a new one
providing for a recount by a legis
lative commission.
Herein we have an admission that
the entire previous procedure has
been wrong. If it had been pro
posed in the beginning to recount
the ballots by a commission com
mission composed of members of the
legislature, in a public manner, in
the presence of representatives of all
parties, so that there could be no
question,of an honest intention and
no opportunity for fraud, there
would have been no ground for ser
ious objection And the trouble we
have been having would have been
avoided. If it can be shown con
clusively to the minds of a large
majority of the people that errors to
the extent of thirty thousand votes
that should have been credited to
the judgship amendment were made
by the original returning boards,
then the two populist judges should
be seated. The matter is not parti
san nor iB it political. Partisan
frauds will not be tolerated and a
political crime will be resisted to the
last moment.—Kearney Hub.
