WE ARE BIGHT AND WE WILL SUCCEED. We Will Fight it out on This Line if it Takes the Host of the Cen tury. The populist of Nebraska should take heart. The ollicial vote of the state shows that we have made gains all along the line we have polled more votes for the head of our slate ticket than ever before in a straight light. We have cast nearly 18,000 more votes on candidates for district judges than in 'J1. We have added to our percentage of the total vote; we have increased our number of county oflieers. ANALYSIS OK THE VOTE. The oilicial canvass shows the follow ing result on supreme judge: Norval (rep) 79,150; Maxwell (pop) 70,50(5; Mahoney (gold bug dem) 18,031!; Phelps (silver dem) 10,214; Wolfenbar ger (pro) 4,311; Norvals plurality over Maxwell 8,590. In the three counties of Douglas, Lancaster and Gage, con taining the three largest cities of the state, Omaha, Lincoln and Ueatrice, -Norval received 17,4.'15, Maxwell 8,619, Norval's plurality in the three counties 8,78flso that outside of these three counties .Judge Maxwell carried the state by 190, Omaha alono gave Nor val about half of his plurality. Out of the 90 counties of the state Maxwell carried 49 and Norval 41. The populist, candidates for regents received about the same vote as those of 1893.. compakison of votk with ritEviocs YEA US. In making a comparison with former years, in order to get at the straight populist strength, we cannot take the vote of '91 or '94 as in both years the head of our ticket was practically en dorsed by the democrats. Taking the other four elections, since the people's party has been organized in the state, we hnd the following results: In 1890 Powers (pop) for governor re ceived 70,187. In 1892 Van M yck (pop) for governor received 08,017. In 189.'! Uolcorab (pop) for supreme judge received 05,000. In 1895 Maxwell (pop) for supreme judge received 70,500. From this it will be seen that we cast the largest vote for the head of our I ick- et this year that we ever did In a straight three-cornered light. laking the result on percentages in these four years, which is the only fair way to test a party's growth or decay, we hnd the lollowmg results: In 1890 Powers 70,187 out of a total vote for governor of 211,071 - popu list percentage of total nearly 33, In 192 au Wvck 08,017-total vote for governor 197,293- populist percent age of total vote nearly 35. In 1893 Jlolcomb 05,000-total vote for supreme judge 181,000-populist per centage of total vote about 30. In 1895 Maxwell 70,500 total vote for supreme judge 182,910 populist per rentage of total vote, nearly 39. lo be moreexactthethe populist per rentage of the total vote in these years lias been as follows: 1V.K), 32;V per ceut.

Tie (, losses were mostly borne by the popu- lists. iiKiM iilicass sti:al a .irmii:, 13ut even with the large emigration from these districts, the republicans had to resort to bare-faced fraud iu one of them In order to count in their candi date. In the Fourteenth district Judge Welty (pop) was rightfully elected by three plurality. In Furnas county, however, partisans of Mr. Norris, the republican candidate, gained access to the county clerk s oflice, went into the oflice on Sunday and forged both can vas books, raising Mr.Norris' vote 0, by forging a cipher into a six, at the same time forging live tally marks in Union and Heaver precincts. The lirst fraud was discovered and the supreme court was asked to order a corrected . return, which it did but the corrected return still rec ognized the live forged tallies, stat ing, nowever, tnat these tames repre sented live more votes for Norris that, were fhownby the certificates of the judges and clerks of election. The state canvassing board, however, insisted on counting the forged tallies, thus elect ing Mr. Norris, the republican candi date, by a majority of two. This action was bitterly opposed.by (Jovernor JIol comb, but he was overridden by the four republican members of the board. This is perhaps the most open fraudjagalnst an honest count, ever attempted in Ne braska; and by the action of the state board of cauvssers, the crime of for gery of election returns and the open stealing of a district judge must be laid at the door of the republican party of this state. There will be a ecu test instituted in this district and if we are successful in securing our rights, we will then have lost but one judge in the state and this loss may be accounted for by emigration from the Thirteenth district. OAINS ON COt; TV OFFICEUS, Jn county ollicers the populists have made a net gain iu the state of about 25, compared with '93. Counting the majority of the county board as one oflicer, we elected something over 300 in the fct'ule. These, together with the olli cers holding over, will give us some thing over 350 county ollicers in the state, after the lirst of January, OA ins in otheu states, News from other states show almost uniform populist gains. In Ohio our vote has grown from 49.0D0 in '94 to 55, 000 in '95. In Iowa we have more than doubled our vote. In Kansas a gain of county ollicers and district judges is re ported. In Colorado and Kentucky we have more than held our own. In Mis sissippi we have reduced the contest to a square-toed fight between the demo crats and populists, though the former by adopting a free silver platform, cut us out of much of the vote we would otherwise have gained. From theses figures, it would appear that the siren song warbled by some of the republican papers and joined in, ac cording to popular report by one so called populist paper, that "the pops are dying out" becomes too silly and childish to require refutation. The same song has been sung for the past five years; and all the time the party has steadily grown. LESSONS TO III; LKAI1NE! I. At least two wholesome lessons should be learned from the late contest. Kver since the organization of the party, we have been cursed by traitors, cropping up here and there. We had a few of them again this year. From this time forward every traitor should be branded with the mark of Cain. Treachery should be made unpopular and selling out unprofitable. The second lessou should be learned by the free silver demorrat. They should lee that nothing but ruin awaits the honest free silver man who fullnns either of the eld parties farther.

THIS PAPER ALL EIGHT. Its Work Endorsod by an old Stu dent and Economist. Omaha, Ned,, Nov. 29, 1895. Kditou Lincoln Inuei'Enoent: I have read with much interest and pleasure the article in the Inihi'en dent, Noy. 22, quoting 1'rof. Francis A. Walker on "the quantity theory of money," and of value, and herewith wiah to thank you with all my heart for publishing the same. The people need educating upon this question of money more than all other questions or differences of opinion com bined. The mass of the people are as it were, are being rapidly devoured by a monster, and they do not understand or appreciate the danger. Not only the people oft he United States but the whole human family are fast drifting upon the rocks of revolu tion and anarchy because of the de plorable ignorance of the principles of money and commercial exchanges. As the wealth ol the world and all means of existence concentrate into fewer and fewer .lands, as is inevitable under the present system of money and absorption through interest, rent and profits, the cataclysm gets nearer and nearer. With the invention of the maney labor saving machines for pro duction, rapid transportation and com munication, and all becoming monopo lized in the hands of the few, the ava landi is moving at lightning speed. What providence can save us if we will not investigate educate ourselves and accept the truth in this matter? As showing how "great minds agree" and "what I know about money," as said by Ilorrace (Jreely "what he knew about farming," I send some newspaper clippings something I myself have written on the subject of money and what constitutes value. 1 would like very much to have Prof. Taylor and others of our University read the articles "Value and Prices," and "Definition of Money,'' also G. H Poach. Wishing yon every success I remain, Yours Fraternally, John Jeffcoat. The clippings referred to in the above are ns sound writing as ever came from the pen of John P. Jones or any other economist Ed. I NtEr en- pent. J This Paper Free.

He Steps Into Leadership of For eign Affairs in the United States Senate. THE POPULIST SENATORS HOLD A CAUCUS. Associated Prosa Lies About Stew art and Jones. Washington, Dec. 4. Special. Senator Allen by a parliamentary move which would have done.credit to the' shrewdness of Gorman or Teller, who are recognized to be the tacticians of this body, stepped to the leadership in foreign affairs today. He had on yes terday introduced a series of resolutions on that subject which today had the right of way and he proceeded to make a speech full of sound statesmanship and patriotism. It was curious to note that whilehe spoke the galleries and the senate lioor were crowded to their atmost capacity. That was not the manner in which the great populist sen ator was treated two years ago. Then there was nothing but sneers and con tempt meted out to him. Now th listan to him with the most respectful attention. Ills speech was upon his resolution for the recognition of Cuban independence. In a statesmanlike way, in forcible and simple English he described the strategic significance of Cuba in time of war, and its importance in times of peace, and declared his belief in the justness and equity of recognizing the revolutionists and assisting them m all lawful ways to establish a free republic. He did not desire this government to plunge into a headlong strife but he be lieved it to be the true policy of the United Statesthat, whenever a people showed themselves desirous of estab- lishing a republican form of govern ment upon adjacent territory they should receive American encourage ment and support. He believed that the time was speedily coming when not only the people of Cuba would be free, but when the people of all the adjacent Islands would have established a repub lican form of government or would have become integral parts of the United states. Ho did not favor greed for ter ritory or the glories of conquest, but he did believe that the sober.candid, think ing, patriotic people of the United States fully realized the necessity of promptly taking steps in that direction to secure their country against foreign invasion and to extend the interests of their commerce. He also believed in the Monroe doctrine and thought that tho people were dissatisfied with the foreign" policy pursued for the last twenty-five years. He thought that it had been diliatory, if not absolutely trivial and contemptible. It had been a hiss and byword among the people of the United States. This burst of patriotic eloquence was received with evident signs of delight and every pencil in the press gallery was busily at work taking down the words and the eyes of the whole senate were fastened upon hint. I.'ut Allen wag only beginning to warm up. When he wound up with these words it was hard for the great audience to refrain from applause, which is contrary to the rules of the senate.
