"A HORSE" ON SHERMAN
The Real Motives of His Recent At
tacks on M B-Murphy Sot Forth
By That Gentleman.
Sherman May Read and Reflect on
the Following.
Kimtok Heiuld: I desire to reply
through the columns of your paper to the
attack mailo upon . the undersigned
"Father-in law' through the columns of
thtf paper commonly known in our midst
as the Plattsmouth sewer, and edited and
controlled by a thing whose vile tongue
and slimy utterances are only equalled
by the filth and offal that run through
the sewer proper.
In regard to the statement of Whopper
.Sherman, (and he is a whopper liar in
nearly all of his utterances) that the bill
of Judge Clifford amounting to $200
which was equitable and just was used
as a wedge to push "son-in-law" Clark's
bill through the council, is most certainly
false in every particular, aa every mem
lcr of the council will bear me out.
Judge Clifford was entitled to every
dollar of it and the council could not do
otherwise than pay the same. Now the
city attorney's bill for extra work and
expense, amounting to $225 was presented
the council and referred to the committee
on claims, consisting of . M. Jones, Dr.
Salisbury and myself; and by the com
mittee was cut down to $200, and with
out a word from me or any influence
Wrought to bear, the entire committee
recommended that the same be paid and
was so referred back to the council. The
matter was most thoroughly discussed by
the council and was for work done by
the attorney out of the usual duties of his
office and for expenses incurred by him
n numerous trips away from, the city
and in the interests of the city; and the
amount paid to Mr. Olark, was equally
as just as the bill paid Judge Clifford.
Xow then for the real animus of the
attack upon me: During Mayor Simp
sou's administration, bids for printing
were made by the Journal and the IIch
ai.I). The IIeuai.I) withdrew its bid and
the printing was awarded to the Journal
at legal rates, twenty-five cents per
square. In his sworn bills presented to
the council he charged the city about $1
per square. I discovered this steal, about
to be perpetrated by this hoy of morality
and honesty, and brought the matter be
fore the finauce committee and he was
compelled to disgorge, find pay the same
back to the city, amounting to about
$250.00, but of course, paid it back in
s-oik at lc;iil rate afttr he was caught.
Xow when Sherman ore to the first
bill as being correct, and was compelled
to pay back, and then the second time
swore to the latter amount as being cor
rect, which of his oaths are true, if so
about hoio much, and did he not in his
usual manner perjure himself, as he
would not hesitate to do for an iron dol-
! j.ir mf tjm9
In the spring of 1887, bids were called
for by the council for city printing, and
the Herald presented a bid accompanied
by a bond the Journal one without a
bond and this pattern of morality and
good looks, went to the Herald with the
proposition that the Herald raise its bid
to exhorbitant rates and divide the pro
ceeds with him Sherman Another
steal. '
Again, under his contract price his bid
was iitfc per page, for printing the ordi
nances. The number of pages, 132, am
ount, $118.80, this was what he should
have had under his contract, but honestly
lie agiin comes before the council with a
bill for 17G pages at $1.03, amount $170
with one or two other little steals am
ounting to eight dollars, making total
$184. In fact, wherever there has been
any chance for Sherman to make a steal
from the beloved people, he has always
been found as near the front as possible,
and he has at all times been ready to
hold up his right hand and swear; "The
above claim is just and correct and
wholly unpaid." Aud I desire to iefer
to the Shattuck fund and the action that
was taken to make him disgorge even
by his comrades. Oil, he is a pattern to
put bjfore our people, and one whose
examples, if followed closely by his
readers, would bring them in time to the
doors of a jail or penitentiary.
To Sherman I desire to say that any
attack he has to make on Mr. Poisall.
make it on him, and not over my

Lincoln, Jan. 31, 1889.
Editok Herald: The senate has, fi i
the past few days at least, kept the
question of submission behind theii
backs, and have been grinding away
merrily introducing a few bills, consider
ing many in the committee of the whole,
with the usual amount of standing com
mittee work between sessions. Senate
rile No. 80, introduced by Polk, of Cass,
has been reported back from the judiciary
committee with the recommendation that
it pass, commifee of the whole has
reported it back with the recommenda
tion that it pass with a slight amendment
as to the term of punishment, and in all
probability will become a law. Very few
bills pass through the judiciary commit
tee without amendment. Norval's bill
changing time of elections on constitu
tional amendments has finally passed the
senate. There has-been a lively conflict
for the past two day3 over Ransom's bill
abolishing the law under which the pres
ent live stock coninmjion came into ex
istence. On debate in seemed that senators from
the western and northwestern part of the
state were in favor of the commission
and state veterinarian, while those in the
more thickly settled portion wanted them
to go.
Tiie senator from Wayne facetiously
remarked that the bill two j'ears ago
originated the disease of glanders in his
county; that before its passage no such
disorder was known to exist. Xcsbitt
and Hansom had some very sharp tilts.
Ransom alluded to Xesbitt as the " seua
tor from the cow boy district, where all
the cattle and their owners were b.iwbng
to have a live stock commission and state
veterinarian come out to kill them off."
Ransom contended that the bill passed
two years ago creating the commission
and state veterinarian was unconstitu
tional and in direct conflict with section
20 or article V of the constitution. Xes
bitt's principal argument in favor of the
law seemed to le that it was the only
way state money could be gotten into his
district, a9 they had no state institutions,
anrl he wished his constituents to haye a
little diyy along with those in more fav
ored localities. Ransom finally prevailed
and, as far as the senate is concerned, the
live stock commission and state veteri
narian will next year be a thing of the
past.-

Why Was It?
The reason why two business men of
Omaha, who assumed an air of responsi
bility suitable to millionaires, came to
this ity the other day In the interests of
the rirm they represented, and brought a
lunch with them, as one would do when
attending a picnic, is a mystery to the
hotel men and many others. They may
have thought Plattsmouth had nothiny
g'iod enough for them and various other
thing's, buttheir actions were astonishing
to many. At noon, Wednesday, they
entered one of the saloons, made a spread
with their lunch on a table, and enjoyed
themselves in devouring the "best of the
land." They don't belong in Plattsmouth,
mid we are glad they returned to Omaha.
