The Democrat cannot regard all of these can didates in the saint! favorable light. Mr. Metcalfe, who is the most able ami, perhaps, the best qualified lo till the oliice of the three candidates named, is, with out question, the most illogical candidate because he would enter the race at the general election the weaker candidale. The esteemed vv orid-iieraiil takes a false view of the situation when it asserts the opposition lo Mr. Met calfe comes only from the Lincoln News. The Lincoln paper has call ed attention to an immovable con dition and the Worbl-IIerald can-' not improve that condition by showing a magnanimous spirit to ward him. There are thousands of demo crats in Nebraska who, not stop ping to consider the right or the wrong of their action, won hi play the game of politics with regard to Mr. Metcalfe that he played the democratic parly lasl year. II sounds pleasing lo Ihe ear to hear a man say that "all is forgiven and forgotten," but the cold fact still abides in his heart that he really believes that "all is fair in the game of politics." Last year Mr. Melcarfe took the stump and advocated Ihe election of a repub lican governor. The democratic candidale has as many party friends as Mr. Metcalfe. II would be unreasonable lo say that they volid support the man who so recently sent them to defeat. It is an unnecessary error to assert I iial they will do so and thereby become a parly in bringing about anolher defeat similar to the om brought about last vear. "Willi all due respect to the World-Herald, ami the kindliest tel lings toward Mr. Metcalfe, we believe il is wrong from every point of view, under the existing circumslanees, lo encourage or asisi in .nr. .Mi'iraile s candidacy, ess you desire llie re-election of (lovernor Aldrich, who will be the republican candidale Ihc same man who was good enough for Mr. Metcalfe one year ago. The wise thing to do is to ad vocate and secure Hit! nomination oi a man vuo can enter the race free-handed and not the especial enemy of any of these entangling factions; who is clean, a rep resentative of the people ant not haml-l ieil or longue-t ied. We be lieve I hat man is Thomas W. Smith of York county. Tom Smith is just a plain, everyday democrat, not anlagnislic to any factional elements, forcible per sonality, strong executive ability, clean character and successful in every undertaking in life. If the democrats of Nebraska desire to win in the state next year, they must be led by a man at the head of t ho stale ticket who was not a conspicuous party lo turning the slate over lo the republicans last year.

To this Ihe more obvious reply is lh;il if "Poverty" has neither ash nor credit he would much! heller pul any money lie may be' able lo scrape up into a good I opiaro meal for his family, which i is probably hungry, than inlo( luxuries . like sofa pillows.

After all, Ihe poor need Ihe glamor of sentiment even more than anyone else, lo cover up the sordid grind of a losing badle.
