Ths Vengeance of the People.
Nothing that has happened i:i a
Ions time has been so impressive,
so dramatic, as the fate which has
ately overtaken those gentlemen
who were chiefly concerned in the

Ages such a fate would have been
recognieil as me tiireci vengeance

sent a bolt from a clear sky and
blasted the evil-doers where they

A DESTRUCTIVE ERUPTION
With an early convention, the
nomination of a gentleman like
Judge Sullivan for governor and a
live and energetic state committee,
backed by an enthusiastic democ
racy, the state can and will be
redeemed from the clutches of its
proven enemies.
Tin- prospects for the jarty of
Jefferson and Hryati in Nebraska
arc exceedingly bright. The lead
ers are united, the rank and file
harmonious, and the state house
gang realize that they have the
fight of their lives before them.
They know they deserve defeat.
Tin: idea advanced that the nom
ination of a candidate for United
States senator by the democratic
state convention would not prove
beneficial is all bosh. There is just
as much sense in nominating a sen
ator as there is in nominating a
candidate for governor or any other
state office.
Mi-TCAUK opposes a primary for
nominating a candidate for United
States senator, which system our
friend (i. M. Hitchcock favors, as
neither objects to the state conveu
tion makingsuch nomination, why
not let the matter rest at that
That's the only sensible way of
-doing it, anywav. I,et that be
recorded also.
Tin: democrats should now be
looking around in their various lo
calities to see who they have among
them that will make a good work
ing member on the state committee.
An able and eiiergeticconunittee can
do wonders in the way of carrying
on a campaign that will lead to vic
tory. A poor committee is worse
than done at all.

The Tariff Iniquity.

trust is an understanding as to
prices, output and the territory in

dealer who is selling American
watches at from one-third to one-

dealers. He goes into the markets
