Governor Sheldon Repeals It
The Journal some weeks since pub
lished what GovernorSheldon said in i
nublic sneech. and. if we remember
a '
correctly, the Cass county gentleman,
who is now seroing his first term as the
chief executive of the trreat state of
Nebraska, used such language as would
insult every democrat in Jthe sttte,
Now, according to the Omaha Bee's re
port of Govornor Sheldon's remarks al
the Taft banquet in Omaha Monday
night, he virtually admits sayingwhat
we credited him with saying in the fol
lowing.
"Reiterating what I said on a former
occasion, I say that any man nomin
ated at Chicago will make a better
president than the man nominated by
the democrats at Denver. '
Many of the democrats of Cass coun
ty, who have always supported George
Sheldon at the polls, were very both to
believe he could possibly utter such in
sulting remarks, know now that he did.
After such insult as the above, will they
support him again? The Journal would
rather believe they will not.
Now that Tom Watson has been a
t residential nominee for several days, We have a new government public

There is not much comfort for re
publicans in reading the returns from
the various municipal elections over the
country yesterday. The democrats
seem to have been "right in it" at
Kansas City and Milwaukee, both of
which elected democratic mayors.
Samuel Hinkle was' elected mayor
of Havelock and Michael Shirk and Ben
Hempel members of the city council.
All former Plattsmouth boys. Where
was Pollard's second lieutenant when the
light went out? .
South Omaha elected a republican
mayor by a small majority. Most of
the other officials are democrrtic. This
is about the only consolation the republi
cans can receive from all the city elec
tions held Tuesday, and that is certainly
vary small.
When we consider the personal of
the Taft following in Nebraska, we feel
assured that we have not misjudged his
political character. The unanimity
with which the machine men fall in
line for Roosevelt's chosen successor is
evidence enough that Taft is not con
sidered very much like his chief.
Congressman Pollard was a visitor
in the city today, and was closseted for
several hours with two of his chief lieu
tenants, who no doubt wanted "pap" of
some description. Where were the old
landmarks of republicanism? They ev
idently have about as little use for Pol
lard as Pollard has for them.
Someone reported to the Lincoln
Journal that "Plattsmouth went repub
lican." When she takes that turn we
guess this paper would know something
about it. There were no candidates to
be voted on in the city at large, ex
members of the school board and they
are D. C. Morgan and Dr. Cummins,
both democrats.
Democratic newspapers are laying
stress on the fact that Mr. Bryan is
greeted everywhere by enthusiastic,
cheering crowds. Mr. Bryan learned in
1896 and again in 1900 that Americans
do not necessarily vote as they cheer.
Omaha Bee. Now, wouldn't that stun
you? Every fair-minded voter in the
land knows that the presidency in 1896
was brazenly stolen away from Mr.
Bryan, and that in 1900 Mark Hanna
spent millions upon millions of corpora
tion money to defeat the will of the peo
ple by purchasing and intimidating the
voters. It appears rather cheeky on
the part of the Bee to make such
a statement as the foregoing. The cheer
is a reality and comes from those who
admire the greatest American states
man of the present age, while Fatty
Taft, the grafter candidate, moves
over the country with the idea in view
that he will be elected by the same
sort of outrages that were perpetrated
upon the people of this great and glo
rious country of ours in 1896 and 1900.
The voters come out voluntarily to hear
Mr. Bryan, while the grafters in every
instance are compelled to shell the woods
in order to get out a crowd to hear the
booby candidate from the Buckeye state.
Would He Do It?
Does anyone believe that if Bryan
were president he would appoint a man
secretary of the treasury who would
take orders from Morgan, Rockefeller
and Stillman? Would he appoint an at
torney general who would allow reba
ters to escape the penalties of the law,
and the senatorial land thieves to grab
a large part of the United States with
out bringing one of them to answer for
their crimes? Would he appoint a comp
troller of the currency who will always
be cheek by jowl with Wall street banks
and before his term was out, receive as
reward for his favors to the banks the
presidency of the great national bank
or trust company? Would he appoint a
secretary fo the war who did not spend
one day in thirty in his office, but was
constantly traveling over the country
and the whole world for political pur
poses? Would he appoint a postmaster
general who would make rulings to drive
the country weeklies out of business
and never apply the same rules to
weeklies and dalies alike? Would he?
If he did not, but put men in these ex
ecutive offices who would enforce the
laws against all alike, would we not
soon have a different sort of govern
ment?
Does any man who knows Bryan be
lieve that he would turn the treasury
over to Wall street and the men who
have slandered and fought him for
seventeen years?
But Bryan is not nominated yet and
he will not if it be within the power is
of money to defeat him.
Did you read Mr Bryan's answer to
"Booby Bill's" Omaha utterance? Well,
if you have not you should do so as
soon as possible, and see how easily he
does the republican candidate to a fin
ish. The peerless is too much for the
Buckeye booby, or any other republican
tiey can pit against him, and the most
of them know it.
