Wkyler announces that his only
mission in life now is to avenge him
self for the insults offered in Presi
dent McKinley’s message. He wants
war, and would like first rate to lead
and invading army. A single camp
of Holt county vigilantes would rub
him and his army off the map.
A meeting of the freeholders and
taxpayers of O’Neill and Grattan
, township is to be held in.the court
house in O’Neill at 10 o’clock, a. m.
on January 8, 1808. The object of
the meeting is to call a halt on the
extravagant expenditure of money
of the taxpayers in fighting the
Grattan township bonds voted and
turned over in good faith years ago
to the builders of the Pacific Short
Line. When these bonds were voted
it was by the very decisive vote of
500 for the bonds to ten against
them and the conditions were that
the bonds should be delivered upon
Completion of the road through
Grattan township to O’Neill. The
railroad builders carried out their
part of the contract, the bonds were
delivered and in the delivery of them
the taxpayers carried out their part
of the contract. So far, so good.
Later, however, a very few of our
worthy citizens undertook to contest
the validity of the bonds and H. E.
Murphy, now of Chicago, I1L, then
county attorney and a popular gentle*
man, was employed at the sacrificing
figure, to himself, of 11,500 cash
down ancj a promise that he should
receive $1,500 more if the bonds
were finally held to be invalid. Mr.
Murphy received the $1,500 and the
township, besides paying him this
exhorbitant sum, also paid the ex
penses incurred in the oase. Through
the different stages of litigation the
Case was lost to the township and
just recently the United States Cir
cuit Court for the district of Ne
braska held that the bonds were good
and should be paid. It is now pro
posed, we understand, by Mr. Mur
phy, to appeal from the decision of
the United States Circuit Court and
carry the oase to the Court of Ap
peals at a cost, whioh cannot be
avoided if the oase is taken up, of
several hundred dollars more.
We are glad to see the movement
on the part of the taxpayers to stop
such a useless expenditure of money
in an effort to repudiate the honest
debts of the township and believe it
will result in much good, not only
ih stopping the throwing of good
money after bad but in giving notioe
to the outside world that we individ
ually and as a municipality believe
in the payment of debts we have
contracted and are opposed to re
pudiation in any form. The sooner
that individuals and municipalities
realize that honesty is the best
poliey the sooner will they enjoy
* the confidence of those who have
money to invest and are looking for
suitable places to invest it
w e Miieve that every enterpris
ing citizen of O’Neill and Grattan
township is anxious to Bee the
Pacific Short Line extended on west
* from O’Neill and that they would be
glad to see this done under the
management and guidance of the
man who brought it here, Donald
McLean. Mr. McLean writes to
several people here that he proposes
to build the road on from here, but
he says, too, that he finds it hard to
| interest capital for many reasons,
chief among them being that invest
ors fight shy of investing where the
people are inclined to repudiate or
give trouble in the way of litigation.
PASS IT ALONG.
Lracoui, Nra., Die. 28, 1897.—
Special Correspondence: I got a
letter this week from “an Abe Lin
coln repuMicaa” of Hamilton eoonty.
He denounces me aa a slanderer of
t good men, says that the populists of
his neighborhood do not read these
. letters, do not believe them, are
indignant that such bold f»1«>hoode
. should be published broadcast,
i*. especially such as the last week’s
letter which treated of passes; and
that because of these wicked sland
ers the republicans in his locality
are joining the populist movement
out of sympathy for the persecuted
state house officials.
I am sorry to offend good men,
especially these Abe Lincoln repub
licans, and do not understand how
they can be offended at what has
been published if they have not read
it, but for the sake of all Buch, I will
now repeat the indictment which
stands against the official represen
tatives of populism as to their greed
for free passes, and will ask each
republican reader to cut this letter
out and mail it to some indignant
populist who does not read the
republican papers, that he may
know just why he is indignant and
in turn may mail it to the state
house officials that they may know
just why they are indignant, may
know just what slanderous charges
are being published against them
and may have an opportunity to
refute these slanders by a statement
to the public.
I want to be perfectly fair, for I
do no not intend to be unjust
toward any man. I write what I
believe to be true. If it is untrue
let those who are aggrieved come
forward and defend themselves.
THIS IS THX INDICTMENT.
1. That a year ago each newly
eleoted populist official within a few
days after his eleotion hurried to
the railroad headquarters where he
made arrangements for a year’s
supply of passes for himself, his
family and his friends.
2. That between the 15th of
November and the 31st of December,
1890, these officials and other reform
leaders procured and sent out over
000 free passes.
3. That on assuming their offices
at the first of this year, they de-!
manded and received more annual
railroad passes than were ever be
fore issued in one year to occupants
of the state house. This included
Pullman passes and express franks.
4. That 98 of the reform mem
bers of the last legislature held up
the railroads for passes for them
selves and their families, and that
most of them have continued to
demand passes ever since.
5. That the state offioers first set
the example, that the legislative
members then followed, that this
bold lead by two branches of the
state government threw off all re
straint and bad the effect to inocu
late the fusion party with the 'pass
itoh from one and to the others
until there is now established a
complete pass system that reaches
every county in the state, binding
the party hand and foot, winding
about it the toils of corporation and
ring rule, so that today the party
machinery is in complete control of
its betrayers, who snap their fingers
with contempt for all the platforms
and promises whioh the reform
party haB made to the voters of this
state.
6. That by means of this arrange
ment with the corporations and the
establishment of this free pass
system among the reform politicians,
they have procured within the last
twelve months and sent out to the
“pass reformers” of this state more
political passes than have been
issued this year altogether, to all the
political parties in all the states of
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa combined.
7. That Governor Holoomb dur
ing his first two years, through his
private secretary, procured from
ex-Treasurer Bartley several hund
red railroad posses whioh were sent
out by the private secretary to the
governor’s political organizers
throughout the state.
8. That Governor Holcomb and
his private secretary now carry more
annual passes than were issued to
the last three republican governors
and their private secretaries all told
9. That Governor Holcomb has,
procured for himself, his private
secretary and their families more
free ride, free bed and free board
political junkets than any former
republican executive in this state.
10. That Governor Holcomb, for
the sake of a pleasure trip for him
self, his private secretary and their
families, which carried with it free
ride, free bed and free board,
allowed himself to be borrowed by
the gulf road and used as a decoy
to attract the attention of Nebraski
people to the red apple country of
Arkansas and the qninine districts
of southeastern Texas.
11. That Auditor Cornell, who is
a member of the state board of tax
equilization, before he would pass
on the railroad tax assessment, re
quired the tax agent of one of the
railroads to furnish him and his
family a free junket to the Black
Hills and return, by special train
and private car, which was pro
vided with all the extravagant'eating
and drinking that could be procured
with railroad money.
12. That Auditor Cornell pro
cured a similar junket to, through
and from the scenic districts of
Colorado, and that he and his
Nebraska relations are now touring
in the cities of the Atlantic coast on
free ride and free bed railroad
passes.
Id. That Secretary Porter, while
the legislature was yet in session, at
the most critical period of his duties,
junketed to the Gulf, paying for the
courtesy with a newspaper interview
on his return which recommended
the south and startled Nebraska peo
ple with the statement that there
are no mosquitoes in Florida.
The outlook now is that these pass
reformers will secure more “forage”
from the enemy next year than they
have this year. No farmer gets a
pass. They are only for the pass
reform politicians who farm the
farmers and the corporations both
at the same time. Out this out and
pass it along. If you doubt the
truth of it, cut it out, send it to the
state house and wait for a letter of
denial. These pass grabbing re
formers cannot pass this by. They
must either fish or cut bait.
