Stewaht has transferred his business in Atkinson to Minor Davis, — - ' We wonder if the Independent ' will publish the protest, signed by nearly all the leading populists of Atkinson, which was sent him after his “cnjustified attack” on Jim Perry. He 'Wes an apology” to Mrs. Perry, but we havn’t the least idea that he will be gentleman enough to make it. The attaoks he makes on live men are bad enough, . hut he should leave dead men alone. ■ iv The Independent last week raised * great howl about our "unjust • A attack” on Rev. Lowrie, and says we "o** «n apology.” We owe Mr. Lowrie no opology. Thj Feohtieb bias never criticised him as a minis ter of the gospel, but when he becomes a small-bore politician, then he lays himself open to criti cism by anyone so disposed. This is not the first attempt of Mr. Lowrie . , to turn the prohibition vote over to the populists. He tried the same thing two years ago, end failed. Tm pop* are driven to sore straits when they attempt to bribe a news paper man to qoit fighting them. Bat . that is just what ooenrred the other day. John Stewart went to CoL O. 0. Bates, who is employed as editorial writer on the Stnart Ledger, and tried to bribe him to 1 quit work on the Ledger nntil after ; election, but without success. After a little more experience of that sort, Stewart will learn that—aside from a few unsatieble offiical pap seekers i. —newspaper men are souls of honor. They cannot be bought Poona who are acquainted with John 1L Stewart, the populist | nominee tor sheriff, were surprised that he was ever nominated, but | they are more surprised that he still remains upon the ticket Tax Fboxtub was in hopes that the . populists would put up men who i were morally dean, so that the campaign would be conducted on ' [higher ground than has been in the v. past . But we owe it to the people A 'of Holt county to show up the cnfit '■'.V'.'V : i.- ■< ness of John Stewart to occupy the office of sheriff. He is and always has been a tyrant He is and for a long time past has been a hard drinker. The two combined has resulted in the breaking np of his home. His wife got a divorce from him once before, bnt on his promise to reform she returned, and the decree of divorce was set aside by the court. Her life has been one of sorrow ever since. She sued him again some three or four weekB ago, and knowing h,s vicious disposition, had him restrained by an order of the court from molesting her or the children in any way. That made no difference to him. He went home, broke in doors, and took possession of the ^ouse. His wife and daughter, who are Christian ladies, were horrified beyond de scription. The city marshal was sent for and guarded the house for the remainder of the night The district judge has since issued an order prohibiting him from in soy way interfering with his family. All that is necessary for anyone who doubts this is to go to Atkinson. He is not a fit man to hold the sheriff’s office, and Bhould be rele gated to the rear. AN OUTRAGE. Atkinson, Nib., Oct. 1$, 1897. Editor Frontibb: The following article taken from the Holt Ooanty Independent of last week is too oat rageoas a lie for any one to believe: The cattle men of the connty are being thoroughly aronsed over the efforts of the cattle thieves to elect Bill Dickerson sheriff. Men are learning of the dose relation that existed between John Fanton, Jim Perry, Joe Bartley, Bill Dickerson and| Dell Aiken. They tnow that Dickerson is part of the gang, and for that reason they do not in tend.to have such a man for sheriff, when they know that his election would mean a return of the cattle thieving, hog thieving and harness thieving of the past The people see the sneak thieves and cattle thieves legging for Diokerson and they propose to out off their little game m the bud. With the experi ence of the past we cannot afford to have the oattle thieves’ candidate hold the important offioe of sheriff. . ; What are the facts? John Fan ton was arrested and sent to the penitentiary for stealing cattle. James Perry, who is now dead, was his father in-law, and while not being in sympathy with him tried to save him from the penitentiary for the sake of his little 4-year old granddaughter. While Fanton was out on bond though, on an appeal to the supreme court, Mr. Perry became convinced of his guilt, and being one of his bondsmen, sent for Sheriff Hamilton and tamed him over. Mr. Hamilton took him to the pen at once. With the exception of Fan ton, not one of the above named men ever approved of oattle stealing in any form. The Independent man knows that to be a fact, but he believes that the people of Holt oounty can be induced to vote the populist ticket if he feeds them on that kind of stuff. Such trash about James H. Perry » an outrage, and we understand that a protest has been. sent to M. F. Harrington by a number of populists of this place. There should be Borne kind of punishment for an editor who will maliciously put in eiror'ation such infamous lies. h. A POPULISTS OPINION? Atkinson, Nib., Oct. 16,1897. To the voters of Holt county I address this article, not however with a view to prejudice anyone in what he conscientiously believes, for I think that every man owes it to himself as a citizen of this county, state and nation to use his franchise according to the dictates of con science, without being led to believe everything that may be said, no matter what the aouroe; then and then only oan the title of “citizen” be raised to that position which ancient Borne designated to be greater than the title of “king.” To be a citizen of the United States seems to mean little to very many men of today. They do not seem to realize that they enjoy a God-given right not afforded the individuals of other nations. It is your franchise, my dear reader, that obtains for you the right to “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” How many ever think of these principals when they vote for an unworthy man ? A max (whom they know deep in their owi conscience) that will bring disgraci on the name of citizen. Tet the} will vote for him because they know be is on the ticket What we want is the man! Remember that a good party does not make a good man nor docs a bad party make a bad man, in either case it is the mac that makes the party. Guided bj this truth I am going to show the fallacy of party leaders, who think they can nominate any man and elect him, because the party bar been successful. This is a mistake, as experience of the past has shown, and as the result this fall will show when the votes are coanted for John M. Stewart, the populist candidate for sheriff. I will confine myself to facts, as to this man, as they have occurred, leaving it to you, dear reader, to render your decision on November 2. ^ However, before touching, upon the antecedents of this man, I want to say, that by reason of my resi dence of 20 years in Holt county, my continued efforts in the cause of the people’s party, since my majority, both by speech and pen and the helping to support the government of Holt county by reason of the heavy tax levied on my father’s property here at Atkinson, for these reasons I think no one has a better right to express an opinion than I have, Which I have often done before through the columns of the Beacon Light, against the machina tions of unprincipled men. Remem ber the fathers of the party had to take a back seat when it came to nominations. The machine which we so emphatically denounced a few years ago was at work, and the result was the nomination of John M. Stewart, of Atkinson, for sheriff. Now, understand me well, my belief in the principles of the populist party is unshakable, but remember that we must have men to maintain those principles and that an unj principled man cen bring no glory to the party. Uow did Mr. Stewart get the nomination? Was it the voioe of the people? Nol It was obtained by his machinations and his tools. I am opposed to this way of obtain* ing a nomination and so are you, dear reader. What are the antecedents of this man, Stuart? I need not ask you to believe me, believe his works. A man’s future actions are judged from his past. That John M. Stewart did strike an inoffensive boy of 15 years in the mouth with his fist, and that he did acknowledge to both the hoy’s father and brother that he was drunk when he did it, is beyond question. It is none of my business nor yours, my dear reader, if a man gets drunk, but it becomes youra and my business just as soon as that man sets himself up as a model for office. Who ever heard of a man of 35 or 40 years of age striking a boy in the face with his fist? If so, was he not an unprin cipled man? If he was not I should like to see what he looks like. That John M. Stewart has been on several occasions needing a very wide track on the sidewalks of Atkinson, and calling people vile names, cannot be doubted. Yon may oall this by whatever name yon please, for my part, when I see snoh actions I draw the inference that outward actions suggest inward feelings, thus, when we see smoke we draw the conclu sion that there is a fire. Kind reader, note this, and read it twice, and oall it drunkenness if you will, you are the judges I have Bimply mentioned the facts. I will not mention the fact that he was instrumental at the annual school meeting in Atkinson in vot ing a six months term for the Atkin son schools, thereby depriving the district of the Btate apportionment This shows his public spiritedness. But happily for the children and district the people turned out en masse, the like of whioh was never seen in Atkinson, and reconsidered what had been done, and righted the wrong. This determines "John Stewart’s standing at home. Mark it well! Watch for it on November 2! Neither will I speak of the fact that he uses language too low for I BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE' !

Don’t forget our grocery department where you can always find a choice assortment of good goods at the lowest prices. human ears; and that a certain individual cannot teach his children, alleging aa the reason, “What can you expect from anyone from the bogs of Ireland?” The person against which such language was used is proud to belong to a race which has for its foundation such men as Robert Emmet, Edmund Burke, Daniel O’Connell, Grattan and the Shields’, and that long line of illustrious men that helped to make us a nation. And so are you, my dear reader, proud of your father aud mother and of the land that gave them birth. Why should a man single out anyone with regard to his race unless it be an attack on all of his kind and all that are for eign to him. He forgets that his ancestors must have been one day foreigners. The best men of our party have acknowledged their error in nomin ating him. In a conversation with a leader of the party a short time ago, he said emphatically that Stewart was “not a fit man, and if he is a man, after all he has done, he will leave the place to be filled by some other man.” “Surely,” I re marked, “you will not support suoh a man ?” “Oh yes, oh yes,” he said, “we cannot turn down any of our men, let us vote the straight ticket;” to which I responded, “if you do you are not nor cannot be a good AlflKAn." Let as have this on the authority of W. J. Bryan, who says that “any one who has voted the straight ticket at all times cannot be a good citizen, because in the history of all parties nnprincipled men have been nomin ated.” Fellow citizens, I am for the principles of the popnlist party. I have supported these principles through all the ups and downs in Holt county, and I support them today regardless of what some may say or have said to the contrary, for which reason I have written this article to make it dear to all that I am right in taking the stand I have, and those that malign me are wrong. In conclusion let me say, that the oontents of this article have been written with care, carefully guard ing against presenting anything against Mr. Stewart except the cold facts, and when you weigh them, dear reader, think of the right given to every American citizen, the right that makes us free, the right to vote for good government in whatever man it may be found. ft- F.
