To the F.ditor of the World-Herald:
Of lieorne W. Pi-rge, fusion candidate
novernor of Nebraska, no less may be
said t ban that he is a gent leinan of un-
linpraihahli' character strictest Inten-
ril v and hinh h"i)or. It has Urn my
pleasine to he unite intimately ac-
1 1 x :i i lit ill with him for tin1 last lit-
tren years and 1 have yet to bear from
any one a single word spoken disparan-
tnnly of him. lie is a lawyer of ability,
an orator of persuasive eloquence and
an accomplished gentleman of Intelli
gence and culture. He is honored and
respected by hlsnelnhbors li respective
of politics.
He Is a charming personality and
though reserved in Ids demeanor, pos
sesses force of character.
While a populist In politics, he be
longs to the more conservative cle
ment, ton few of whom, were recogniz
ed or given positions when the party
had full sway a few years ago. His
popularity with the electors of his own
county was demonstrated a few years
ago w hen he w as elected to the olllccof
county judge of Lancaster county
against great odds. His right to the
olllce was contested and the olllce was
awarded lit in by the decision of the
supreme court, too late, however, for
hlin to qualify and take possession,
lie subsequently was nominated fur
congress In this district, and though
defeated, made a splendid campaign
record and received a very Mattering
vote.
In mv judgment lie is one of the
strongest populists In the state, and if treasurer of New York State Uepub
elected he will honor the position of Mean Committee; William (I. Choate,
governor and rellect credit upon the a brother of Joseph II. Choate, Am ha
olllce.
In conclusion, I may say that I am
not and never have been a fuslonist,
but inasmuch as fusion is the order of
the day, I am convinced that they
could not have fused upon a cleaner
or more deserving populist than Cieorge
Hei ne for the high olllce for w hich he
has been nominated.

Ik the Populists support Mr. Peine

coast line and given us ten million ad

get rid of that Incubus, as we shall, by

either our army or our navy should be
any larger than they were ten years

Whatever of democratic disappoint

result because of the act ion of tlie Pop

action of the democrat ic assemblage.

opportunity to accept. Thedeinocrats
acted at times as though they were
afraid they might. Hut whatever re

The whole unhappy question in the
