A PARTY that stands for honost monev and the chance to earn it is the kind of a party that can count upon the support of all intelligent working- men. Globe Democrat. It is an easy thing to elect demo crats in Alabama. It doesn't even re quire votes. All it needs is to have election officials with vivid imagina tions and elaborate tally sheets. They can easily guess at the number of votes to place opposite a democratic name. When the free coiners talk about the necessity of restoring silver to the position that it occupied prior to 1873, they ignore the fact that the govern ment has done that very thing by coin ing fifty times as many silver dollars as were coined in the whole previous his tory of the country. L. T. Genung, the demo-pop nomi nee for congress in the Iowa district just east of us, is bright enough to know better. He may have lots of fun running for congress over there this fall, but he will lack a good many votes of being able to draw the salary of a national legislator. BURK CocnitAN's statement to gold democrats that their first and only duty is in supporting McKinley is very gratifying to the sound money faction at this time. lie is opposed to another nomination for the presi dency and says that those who are un willinc to vote for either of the can didates should stay at homo on elec tion day. A CAREFUL canvass of Bryan's owr voting precinct in Lincoln shows the choice of voters as follows: McKinley 210: Brvan. 71: Bentley. 1; doubtful republicans 9, doubtful democrats unknown 11. This would indicate that where Bryan is best known and where for personal reasons he might gain on his opponent he actually loses. Mr. Bryan's vote in this precinct against Field for congress was 123. W. J. BRYAN, having heard in an informal manner that he had been nominated for the oresidencv. has gone to New York to confirm the ru mor, if it should happen to be true He will rest in the city and dispense a few promises of pie in order to stir up Tammany enthusiasm until today. when the awful truth will be explained to him at the Madison Square beer garden by Governor Stone of Missouri The free silver convention at Te cumseh, together with the democrats and pops, got together last evening under one tent and tried in vain to nominate a candidate for congress. After fourteen ballots had been taken without results, the convention at 1:20 this morning adjourned to 10 o'clock. Matthew Gering and Sim Upton, both of this county, were candidates before the cosmpolitan convention. Judge Broady was finally nominated on the t wenty-f ou rth bai lot. THE treasury-deficit In July was 13, 000,000. A large shortage, of course, was expected, as expenditures are ord inarily heavier in that month than in any other in the year. The gold re serve, however is again at safe figures, amounting to nearly 8111,000,000. It will probably remain on the right side of the $100,000,000 line for several months. The purpose of the banks to supply gold to to the treasury when needed la well known, and this will have a quieting effect on timid people. , Moreover, as the campaign progresses the weakness of the repudiators and destructionista . will be revealed, and this will restore confidence 'and stop the gold hoarding. THIS IS NEBRASKA YEAR- Duiing the past week a large num ber of visitors from the middle states have been abroad in Nebraska looking the state over and taking note of the prolific yield of grain that is io evi dence on every hand. All newspaper reports agree that these visitors have been delighted with all that they have seen and have been happily disap pointed in the condition of the com munities visited, all of which are far more prosperous than they had been led to believe. Everything is "politics" these days, yet every citizen of Nebraska can af ford to "take a day "off" to stand up for the material interests of the state, and no matter how exciting political discussions may become, the news papers should find time and make space to say something for Nebraska that will live beyond a presidential year und be of benefit after the next presi dent has qualified and taken his seat. A great deal can be said in behalf of Nebraska, and when it is borne in mind that the state has been slandered and is greatly misunderstood in many eastern and middle states, it may ap pear to our people that no one should bo backward about saying what he has to say. In fact, every person should be a committee of one to make known to the extent of his ability the advantages of this great state, the pro ductiveness of the soil for the season that is passing, the possibilities for agricultural employment, and the average of successful larraing during a range of years as compared with other states in the United States. Those of us who have put in . a full quarter century in Nebraska are com petent to talk, and to sound Nebraska's praises. People who have lived in Nebraska that length of time have seen a number of ups and downs, but the condition of the harvest has not always been the cause of hard times or individual misfortune. The people who visit Nebraska this year will see the state at its best, and the good reports that they will take back to their neighbors will set the tide of immigration again in motion. Hence it is the duty of every citizen of the state to be active in helping to swell the tide and contributing to the new era of prosperity that will set in if the tariff and currency questions are disposed of on business-like con servative lines which will give an im petus to investment and production. Kearney Hub. PETTI FOGG INCi THE CASE. The silver orators are saying in their stump speeches that the republicans denounce them for wanting to emit dishonest money while the republican platform "calls for this so-called dis honest money by international agree' raent." This is a cowardly and dishonest way of putting the question, even though Mr. Bryan is one of the ora tors who engages in it. What are the facts: The sound currency people are op posed to the free and unlimited coin age of silver at its present ratio for the reason that they know such a whole sale coinage would reduce the pur chasing power of the silver dollar to the fluctuating value of bullion that is, the dollar coined free gratis for any man who brought silver to the mint would of necessity make the dollar worth only from fifty to sixty cents; that gold, being at a premium, would entirely disappear from circulation, as it did in war times. That a panic such as the country never saw would be in evitable. It is the consistent belief of gold standard people that silver should be used as money just as fur as its parity with gold cad be maintained. That the limit of silver coinage has already been reached, as Is evident by the raids on the treasury for gold by the conservative business world since the depreciation of silver bullion has created serious doubt of its continued maintenance any longer at par. The sound money advocates aro not ene mies of silver, as professional dema gogues would have the public believe, but on the contrary they favor the white metal to such an extent that they want it maintained at par with gold at its present ratio, and they go even further than that they say and believe that if all the commercial na tions of the- world would open their mints to the free and unlimited coin age of silver at its present ratio that it might be maintained at a parity with the yellow metal, and it is for that reason the republican party honestly says that it would favor free coinage by international agreement. There is nothing illogical or inconsistent in the republican position. It is only cheap demagogues like a pettifogging lawyer in the trial of a case devoid of merit, that 6eeks to befog a jury by digress ing from the point at issue, and dis tract the' minds of his hearers from the real facts which condemn his posi tion, by injecting a lot of sophistry that won't bear even a casual analysis. Younu Vanieiuhlt showed his mettle in true Plebeian fashion and married the girl despite his father's protests and threat to cut him off. His bride is a warmed-over one, who was engaged to marry Cecil Baring, bead of the great Baring . banking house of London that went down in the South American' collapse a few years ago. Alter the failure the en gagement was broken. She was "out for the stuff," like all the rest of her family, all of whom have rrarried into the richest American families and 6he didn't propose to be the victim of the deflation of Argentine fiat money. Her love for Baring deflated just as quickly. She is eight years older than young Vanderbilt, whose eyes will eventually be opened. But his father will probably be willing to buy him a divorce. Ex. : The populists woreoutfieured at the recent convention, the democrats hav ing had too strong a pull. The man who deserted the pop crowd and nom inated Broady was B. F. Allen of this county, and his brother populists do not feel first-rate over the deal, either. The frictton which has been caused by the democrats "hogging the game," will result in the loss of several votes for Mr. Bryan, as the Tecumseh ob ject lesson has opened the eyes of many populists who are conscientious in their devotion to populist principles and have no special desire to boom democracy. As a prominent populist said to TnE News editor: "If Mr. Bryan wants our votes let him come out as a populist squarely and not try to stoal our platform while wearing a democratic cloak. The democratic party would not be a factor in this cam paign were it not for the assistance from the people's party with which they expect to save the life of waning democracy, and I for one prefer to see that organization go down rather than build it up and kill the party I have worked for ever since it was born. The democratic scheme will not work with lots of our people. I will not vote the electoral ticket at all, but I shall do all I can for Holcomb, the best governor Nebraska ever had." The editor of The Nkws finds many populists of this opinion and the dis satisfaction in the ranks seems to be growing. Buy an now knows that he has been nominated for the presidency, but his speech of acceptance was not that of the bold knight of the western prai ries, who throws down the gauntlet and dares his antagonist to meet him in the open field. On the other hand it was largely defensive and consisted of the usual platitudes and plays to the gallery. It was neither broad nor deep in the discussion of the platform. but in some instances his sophistries may rightfully have been called adroit. The customary talk about the omnivorous and soulless east fattening from the down trodden and hungry horde of western toilers for obvious reasons. He made the same old effort to stir up enmity between the classes, and then not to antagonize the wealthy and indus trious too far. he explained and smoothed over his views by show ing favor to the man who ac cumulated wealth as being entitled to fair treatment under the law the same as the man without a penny. The speech was not quite so theatrical as his western efforts, and can not be considered as specially convincing. It was one William J. Strong who introduced our boy orator to the crowd at Chicago and he said so much that the orator was somewhat nonplussed to find a place to chip in himself. Among other things Mr. Strong said that "our children are often tugging at our coat-tails asking us for bread, that we cannot give them because we are out of work." Further on, Mr. Strong as sured the people of Chicago that "any thing stamped as a dollar by the United States government was worth a hundred cents and would betaken by anybody for that sum." It would be a bright idea for Mr. Strong to go down to1 Washington and have himself stamped that way. Then he could come home and trade himself off for bread for his hungry children. Why not utilize himself that way since he can't get work under Mr. Bryan's and Mr. Wilson's tariff reform act? State Journal. Tiik auditor of the state of Colorado, in his proposed action reveals the in tolerance of silver fanaticism. Sev eral life insurance companies have sent out circular to their policy hold ers, stating frankly the inevitable losses that will come toevery holder of life insurrnce, in case of free silver at 16 to 1 being successful. These state ments aro absolute fact, verified in the history of the worlds fiinance again and again. State Auditor Parks says these cir culars evidence of insolvency on the part of the companies and he proposes to stop these companies from doing any business in Colorado, which under the state law it seems he has power to da " This is ridiculous and intolerant because the circulars are evidence of an honest desire to protect the policy holders, and not of insolvency at all Mr. Parks writes himself down an ass, that is all. Duuino the civil war. when we had a depreciated currency, the prices of the necessaries of life advanced 200 per cent, while wages advanced only 149 per cent. The workinffman was a loser, therefore, to the extent of 51 per cent; and a similar result would ensue under the free silver policy. The only real, genuine, all-wool-and-a-yard-wide "boy orator of the Platte," our Col. Matthew Gering, was igno miniously turned down at the Tecum seh convention. Wo are not grieving over J, as he would have polled more vote .ban Mr. Broady will ever able to muster. be McKinley and Bryan both made speeches yesterday. The gist of Mc Kinley 's speech was that ho believed it better for the country to open up the mills for American labor than the mints for the silver of the world. As Boukkk COCKUAN snys, there is no half way ground in politics this year. A man must be for the free coinage of silver or he must be against it. He must bo for Bryan or for Mc Kinley. And yet there are news papers that are neither for nor against anybody or anything. This is the kind of cowardice which makes such a publication contemptible to all. This is a poor year for mugwumps. WHAT WILL BKYAN DO? QWhat is Mr. Bryan going to do con cerning the Populist nomination for the Presidency? It will be remembered that, when the populist convention decided to nominate a candidate for the Vice Presidency before the head of the ticket, Mr. Bryan telegraphed to his friends in that body that he would not accept unless Sewall was nominated. But Sewall was turned down, and Tom Watson put up for second place, and then Bryan was nominated, des pite his telegram. Then a motion was rushed through, the purport of which was not under stood by the greater portion of the delegates, giving the national com mittee "plenary powers," equal to those of the convention itself. This gives the committee authority to name some other candidate for the Presidency, should Bryan decline; or, it has equal authority to yank Tom Watson off, and put Sewall on. Which will be done? If Bryan accepts, it is certain that Watson will be pulled off. It is im possible for Bryan's name to be twice on the Australian ballots, the laws of most of the states forbidding such a proceeding. Mr. Bryan can not long preserve the attitude of the Nebraska sphinx. He must decide what he is going to do. It is most probable that he will ac cept, that Watson will bo hauled off and Sewall be put on, with a resulting big kick from the"middle of the road populists. Toledo Blade. IN JAPAN. Prince Ito, premier of Japan, is in tensely interested in the political cam paign in this country and has a squad of agents over here to find out about it. The reason is that Ito himself was badly bitten by the 16 to 1 dog. Some years ago it occurred to him that in order to keep Japan in bine with the nations of the west it was necessary to have some gold in her currency. He was informed that the United States was succeeding in tloating a large sil ver currency, tho largest in the world in proportion to population, on trie basis of 16 to 1. For some reason or other it escaped him and his advisers that the United States had accomplished this by moans of a great reserve fund of gold that was freely paid out on demand for silver ana that tho goverment coined its own silver on its own ac count and was thus able to regulate the volume thereof. Ho therefore neglected to take a similar precaution and endeavored to establish free coinage of silver and gold on the basis of 16 to 1 without limit. Tho consequence has been that every gold coin turned out in Japan has been gobbled up for export or for speculative purposes and that his at tempt at bimetallism has resulted in silver monometallism and that he is no nearer his object today than he was when he began to work for a bi metallic circulation. Doubtless Prince Ito's investiga tion will result in teaching him just wLat screw is loose with his monetary system and he will adopt the plan now in vogue in Europe and allofAmer ica except Mexico, of a limited coin age of silver supported by a reserve of gold sufficient to keep silver in circu lation as a subsidary coin and not a standard of value. State Journal. The mongrel convention which nom inated Judge Broady at Tecumseh yes terday was quite an affair. The free silver republicans, forty in number, led by the the gallant Colonel Pace of Liu coin were there and had as much to say as anybody. The softshell dem ocrats and the populists, whom they used to damn before they had to have them to help elect Bryan, were there in goodly numbers and the three sep arate organizations were cooped up in the same hall and a groat (?) conven tion was the result of the mixing of these elements. While Candidate Bryan was sweat ing great drops of grief at the condi tion of the poor laboring mun and was trying to impress his hearers with the idea that the "plain common" people were his constant care and devotion a pickpocket emphasized an ugly ob ject lesson on demogoguery, by trying to pluck a $o00 diamond from the shirt front of Mr. Creighton, one of Bryan's backers and closest friends. The stalwart friend of the "plain people" should shake his millionaire guardians when he goes out on a speaking tour, for. these little incidents are more ex pressive of actual conditions than ship loads of bourbastic platitudes. An indication of the wa in which fre siiver is to affect business is shown by recent dispatches sent out by the press associations in regard to the iron trade. It is impossible to make sales of pig iron because of the agita tion of free silver. Ihe use of iron is so general in nearly all forms of in dustrial undertaking: that the demand for it, or lack of demand, is a sure in dication of the condition of the public pulse. The stoppage of the sales of pig iron has led to the stoppage of the production of ore in tho Rockfeller mines at Bessemer, Mieh., throwing 7,000 men out of e nploymont. Canton Repository. The free silver man in California ia species of chump that would bo rec- a gnized anywhere by his long oars and bass voice. In that state, by law all contracts, bank deposits and debts of very description are made payable in gold. No one objects to the law and all parties have agreed to and lived nder its privileges without dissent. The silverites in that state would not be harmed vet he howls for other states to try the depreciated currency hich he does not want and would not I have for himBelf. - PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
