E5DAY, OCT. 26, 1898.
Dorgan previous to the contract of the
latter with Atwood & Co., concerning
the price of stone, aud in reply quoted
the prices above named, but which is
denied by Dorgan. There is, however,
no evidence that the board, or the
respondents individually or any of
them, participated in or had knowledge
of such FRAUDS or OVER
CHARGES." It will be seen from this that the
court agreed that Atwood & Newell
and Dorgan perpetrated a fraud, but
that "there was no evidence that the
board, or the respondents individually
or any of them, participated in or bad
knowledge of such FRAUDS or
OVERCHARGES."
OPINION OF POST AND KURVAL.
The opinion of Justice Post, of the
supreme court, which was concurred
In by Justice Xorval in the impeach
ment case of State vs. Hastings in
1893, makes very interesting reading
for Cass county voters this fall.
Hastings was one of the members of
the board of public lands and build
ings who were impeached on account
of the cell house and other frauds.
Both of the justices mentioned are re
publicans, and this - ia what they said:
.. Third. With re
spect to specification 3, it may be said
that THE BILLS RENDERED FOR
STONE ARE GROSSLY IN EXCESS
OF THE REASONABLE OR MAR
KET VALUE thereof through the
Begligence, incompetency or fraud of
the superintendent. The latter, it is
disclosed, contracted with Atwood &
Co., for the necessary stone to be de
livered on the cars at Cedar Creek,
Cast county, or other points not more
remote from Lincoln, agreeing to pay
eight cents per 100 pounds for common
rubble, sixteen cents per cubic foot for
dimension stone, and thirty-five cents
per cubllc foot for stone "plugged to
size" that is, drilled and blasted ac
cording to designated measurements.
It also appears that Atwood &Co.,
purchased all the dimension stone from
J. W. Zook and E. D. Van Court, of
Nemaha county, paying therefor ten
cents per cubic foot, also a portion of
the rubble at four cents per 100
pounds, and which was billed to the
state and paid for at the contract
price. The price paid by Atwood &
Co., it is shown, is a trifle below the
market value of the stone, but the
difference does not exceed two cents
per cubic foot. - Zook testifies also that
he received a written inquiry from
The ability, integrity and fitness for
the office of county attorney, of the
fusion candidate, D. O. Dwyer, are
recognized not only by bis partizan
supporters, but by republicans as well,
as witness the following from The
Louisville Courier: "The Courier has
nothing to say against Mr. D. O.
Dwyer or any candidate on the fusion
ticket. Mr. Dwyer is a clean, capable
candidate, and is deserving and should
receive the support of the - fusion
forces in Cass county.
Geohoe Towle, candidate for com
missioner in the Third district, is a
practical man in every respect. His
superior qualifications for the place are
recognized by republicans as well .as
democrats, and be has received the
endorsement of The Elmwood Review,
one of the stauncbest republican
papers in the county. He is certain of
election.
The "Omaha Bee, the leading re
publican organ of the state. In an ed
itorial on May 22, 1803: "The price of
stone 'plugged to size' may cut quite a
figure in the Nebraska campaign this
fall." It is also likely to cut quite a
figure in the Cass county campaign
this fall.
It is altogether probable that if Mr.
Patterson had paid Editor Mayfield of
The Louisville Courier the ten dollars
which the latter tried to bleed him for,
the attack upon the fusion candidate
which appeared in last week's Courier
would never have been put into print.
What has become of the republican
war cry, "Stand up for Nebraska?"
Has it been lost because the people
have found out that the cry was only
raised to deceive the people while
their officials were looting the state
treasury?
A MATTER OP RECORD.
In conformity with its well known
habit ol misrepresenting all things of ,
a political nature, The News a few
days ago published what purported to
be the record of Hon. James M. Tatter
son in the house in 1871, and in the
senate in 1SS3. The first misstate
ment is that wbeu Mr. Patterson is
accredited to the senate in 1893, when
the Hon. Orlando Tefft held that dis
tinguished honor.
The fact is that in 1883 Mr. Patter
son was senator from Caea county,
having defeated E. L. Reed of Weep
ing Water. The News criticises Mr.
Patterson "b vote upon a certain reso
lution which, it is claimed, was in the
interest of the old soldiers. The
Journal has looked up this memoilal
to congress and finds it absolutely
without merit. The resolution was
introduced by Senator Reynolds of
Butler county, and in effect asked con
gress to put all soldiers who had
served three months or more in the
union army, and who had arrived at
the age of fifty years, upon the pension
list, without any reference to whether
they were disabled, legs or arms shot
off, or anything else.
For these reasons a vigorous fight
was made against the bill, led by
Senator Dolan of Red Willow county,
himself an old soldier, having served
in the union army, and also a Grand
Army man.
The vote upon the adoption of this
resolution as will be found upon pages
480 and 481, Senate Journal, 1883, is as
follows:
Yeas Connor, Deck, Reynolds and
Walker, 4. "
Nays Barker, Bomgardner, Brown,
(of Douglas) Brown, (of Lancaster)
Brown, (of Clay) Brown, (of Colfax)
Butler, Case, Conkling, Dolan, Filly,
Fisher, Harrison, Heist, Howell, Kin
kead, McShane, Norris Patterson,
Rich, Rogers, Sboenheit, Sowers and
Thatch, 24.
Absent ' or not voting Can field,
Dunphy, Dye, Harris, 4.
An analysis cf the vote for and
against this resolution showa only one
republican for it, that is Senator
Walker of Lancaster. Of the senators
who voted against the resolution, a
majority were republicans, including
ex-Governor David Butler, . Senator
Dolan, an old soldier and Grand Army
man, Senator Harrison of Hall county,
now chtaf justice of the supreme
court, Senator Kinkead, now one of
the judges -of the Fifteenth district,
and recently a candidate for judge of
the supreme court on the republican
ticket, and also Senator Norris, sub
sequently elected a district judge on
the republican ticket, and now
the republican candidate for congress
in the Third congressional district.
Will The News please give some
more of Mr. Patterson's record?
A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.
The republican press of the county
is seeking to besmirch Mr. Patterson's
record as county treasurer, by claim
ing that he paid out of his own pocket
certain interest, which had been col
lected and due upon registered war
rants while he was treasurer.
The Journal congratulates these
republican papers in recognizing in
Mr. Patterson his high integrity, not
only as a man, but as an honest official.
When his attention was called to the
fact that money had been collected and
on band which should have been put
in an envelope and applied in payment
of registered warrants in the order of
their registration, as provided by law,
and through an oversight had not
been so applied, be promptly said to
the commissioners: "The taxpayers
of Cass county shall not be wronged by
an oversight on the part of their treas
urer. The interest that might have
been saved is $200; here is the money."
For particulars consult Captain Isaac
Wiles and Hon. Samuel Richardson.
What a pleasing and gratifying con
trast! Joe Bartley, an ex -republican
state treasurer, now in the peniten
tiary for stealing at least $500,000 of
the people's money; Honest Jim Pat
terson saying to the taxpayers of
Cass county, "through an oversight I
could and should have saved you $200
interest on registered warrants; here
is your money;" and he paid it. The
Journal again refeis to the above
named gentlemen for any further in
formation upon this subject, as they
were the commissioners at that time.
A few more mud balls like this,
thrown by republican papers , will only
make Mr. ratterson'a vote more
nearly unanimous.
The records prove every charge
made by The Journal against Mr.
Newell, and disprove every charge
made by the republican press against
Mr. Patterson. In the language of
Oh Guthman, "Look at the records!"
The farmers and stock shippers of
Cass county will not forget that Messrs.
Pollard and Young voted against the
bill to regulate stock yards charges.
