Stewart after gen. warser.
Fh!dear. It seeing that the I xde pen
k nt can't keep the anti-gold standard
FAati Shylock men from pitching into
other notwithstanding all its efforts.
f jlfime it is Senator Stewart who is
hirUen. Warner. ioa 01a cuver
iaifcof the Mountains is red hot mad
jlit Gen. Warner. It is all on account of
tan Associated Press interview. Confound
'those Press interviews. The goldites
.manage by means of them to keep up a
tow all the time. What has started Sen-
!ator Stewart is that Gen. Warner was
reported to have said: "The populist
must lay aside his many minor issues
and join the silver forces." In regard to
' that remark Senator Stewart says:
"If General Warner was anxious
to
disrupt the silver forces and aid the gold-
Sites in the next campaign, it would have
been diffcult to have selected language
Vroore appropriate for that purpose. We
rpe, for the sake of humanity, that he
J Wiint nipraotlv ronnrred: but innnmnch

J widely circulated and not denied, we de
m sire on behalf of the honest and true men
: who participated in the conference and
organized the movement for theSt Louis
convention on the 22d of July next, to
I repudiate the sentiments therein con-
it tamed."
.tVThe Independent rises to remark that
) associated frees interviews wuu weu
(J who are fighting Shylock are all lies, and
no one snouiapay any hublhuu w mciu.
That organization would not send out
1 interview at all unless it was in the
Interest of Shylock.
THE PATIENT PEFFER.
Senator Peffer finally got his bond in
vestigating resolution before the senate
after sticking at it for weeks. Then
Dave Hill spoke for three days against
it, filling the pages of the congressional
record with some of the worst twaddle
that ever was printed in that publica
tion. Both the republicans and demo
crats are determined that there shall be
no vote on investigating the infamous
bond deals, and the manner in which
they have acted, was enough to irritate
a saint, but the most severe word that
Peffer has used in reply to them was
that'they had kept up the delaying pro
cess until he was getting "tired."
The resolution for the appointment of
a committee to investigate, after being
discussed by Hill for three days last week,
came up again on Monday, and the pa
tient Peffer, the dispatches say, consent
ed reluctantly to have that resolution
laid aside temporarily until the appro
priation bills now before the senate are
passed. It is still the unfinished busi
' ness, however, and as such will be en-
titled to a formal presentation to the
' senate at 2 o'clock every day.
advocating mcrdek.
Gen. J. C. Duane, who holdsa synacure
on the acqueduct commission of New
York City, bringing him many thousand
dollars a year for which service $500
would be liberal pay, having fallen upon
some penny translation of Heroditus
where an account is given of the prac
tice of the ancient despots of Egypt of
Bummarily executing every man who
could not prove his means of livelihood,
recommends its adoption in New York
City. Whereupon the San Francisco
Star remarks:
"We are perfectly ready to 'second the
motion,' provided it includes the politi
cians, landlords, railroad magnates and
and others who make tramps, including
professors of alleged political economy
and the like in colleges, one of whom, in
the art of being worse than useless, beats
a thousand tramps. Their souls far sur
pass in filth a tramp's body, and it is
infinitely better to be lazy than to prosti
tute their brains (when they have any)
for a high salary, while honest men have
to regard it as a high privilege to be
able barely to live by honest labor."
Sentiments like those expreesed by
Gen. Duane are vigorously advocated by
the Century Magazine and the New York
; Tribune. The editor of the Independent
was sharply citicised wnen he called the
Tribune and Century "demoniacal" pub
lications. When it is considered that
these publications unblushingly print
arguments in favor of murder, will any
one deny that the adjective was fitly
chosen.
Did any one, twenty years ago, ever
expect to see the journal founded by
Horace Greely, adopt the morals of the
Thugs of India and pulicly advocate
murder as the right of the bondholding
classes? Well we see it now, and we shall
see many similar things if the Kothschild
gang are permitted to rule this country
through the republican party. They will
not onlv propose, but they will establish
here, the horror, tyranny and despotism
of ancient Egypt, and God will visit
1
upon them the punishment he visited
upon the Pharaohs.
POPE BOH TURNS PREACHER.
The Christian Endeavorers scored first
blood in their prayer test contest against
Pope Bob. They prayed him into a pul
pit of a Christian church where he
preached a sermon, and just such a ser
mon as hundreds of ordained liberal min
isters preach every Sunday in Unitarian,
Dniversalist and Independent churches.
If the McKinley high protection logjc is
sound, there is no escaping the conclus
ion that the prayers of the Christian En
deavorers brought Bob Ingersoll into a
Christian pulpit, made him stand quiet
while a Christian minister prayed, made
him behave while christian hymns were
aung, and made him preach a good,
i
sound christian sermon after the man
ner of liberal christian ministers. (I.) The
Endeavorers prayed. (2.) Afterward
Pope Bob turned preacher. (3.) Therefore
the prayers of the Endeavorers was the
cause of Pope Bob turning preacher.
The McKinley logic is of the same sort
exactly. (1.) We had a tariff of 47 per
cent (2.) Afterward the democrats
lowered it 3 per cent, and hundreds of
banks failed and prices fell fifty per cent.
(3.) Therefore the lowering of the tariff
3 per cent breaks hundreds of banks and
reduced prices fifty par cent
It is only fair to add that McKinley
logic is not to be found in any of the
text books. It is a new invention.
AFTER TAUBENECK AGAIN.
Taubeueck continues to be the target
at which editors takea great pleasure in
firing their shots when they are out of
humor with themselves, or with any
body else. If they don't feel happy they
just bang away at Taubeneck and then
they seem to feel better.
This time it is the free silver "only"
fellows who are on his trail with guns
loaded and the loads well rammed down.
The thing that has excited their ire is
the statement he made in bis book that
the restoration of silver to free coinage
will not destroy the money trust.
A little while ago it was the other fel
lows who were banging away at him, be
cause they said he wanted to trim the
platform down to free silver "only."
These chaps were so mad at him that
they said he had sold out to the silver
party, that he was a traitor and they
called loud and long for his resignation.
The Independent is waiting now to
see who will open out on him next, and
what will be the line of attack. The old
guard is having a hard time of it. The
new recruits" seem to think that the
old guard cannot be trusted. Wfth these
fellows, Taubeneck is no good, Weaver
is no good, none of us are any good.
Twenty years of fighting monopolies,
corporations and the money power has
only made idiots and traitors of us. Ah!
well, all we have to say is, we hope the
"new recruits" will make a success of it.
No one will rejoice more than the few
remaining members of the old guard if
they do.
DOUGH FACES VS. MANHOOD.
Congressman Towne, after delivering
the most convincing speech against the
gold standard in congress for along
time, says that he will vote for the gold
standard if the St. Louis convention
adopts it, but Lieutenant Governor Day
of the same state has more manhood.
He says in a recent issue of the Martin
county sentinel:
"Minnesota Republicans under the
hypnotic control of Wm. R. Merriamand
other W all street sympathizers have
practically endorsed the British gold
standard. This is not republicanism as
we have been educated to understand it,
and if the St. Louis national convention
adopts a similar course our opinion is
that Minnesota will be placed in the list
of doubtful states.''
SENATOR HANSBROUGH.
The republicans of North Dakota
turned down Senator Hansbrough after
the same manner they did Pettigrew in
South Dakota and then declared for the
gold standard. Senator Hansbrough
made the best speech made in the special
session of '93 on the theory of overpro
duction. He showed by incontestable
figures that while the per capita pro
duction of all the great farm crops for
the whole world had increased, the price
had also fallen, and that instead of there
having been a per capita increase, as
claimed by the goldites, there had ae
tually been a per capita decrease. The
money power will never forgive him for
that speech. If Senator Hansbrough
wished to remain in the republican party,
be did a very foolish thing to make such
a speech.
BANKERS CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
It is said that the deposits of the Mer
chantile National bank of New York City,
of which Wm. P. St. John, the great
economist and free silver advocate is
president, are swelling to an unheard of
amount and will soon over top those of
the goldite Chemical bank. The capita)
of the Chemical bank is only $300,000,
but it has a surplus of about $7,000,000
and its shares of $100, sellon themarket
for $4,300.
The cause of this swelling of the de
posits of the Merchantile bank is said to
be that a large number of bankers in the
west have found out what is hurting
them and have stopped their howling
for the gold standard, well knowing that
if prices continue to fall, there will be but
mighty little business left forthemto do,
and are now advocates of free silver.
Having changed their minds on the sub
ject of the gold standard, they arechaug-
ing their deposits from the great gold
standard banks to the free silver bank of
St. John. As soon as these western
bankers had studied political economy
enough to find out what their own inter
ests wt?re they went to work to defenp
them. "All the world is selfish except
thee and me, and sometimes I think that
thee is a little selfish."
Truthful Annin says that Thurston is
looked upon in Washington as Nebras
ka's political prophet and that he ranks
with Quay. That is the time that Anuin
hit the nail on the head, for by common
consent, wherever the record of Mathew
F. Quay is known, he is admitted to be
the the biggest scoundrel in the United
States.
THANKS TO THE T. A. A I. V.
The Independent is the great populist
peacemaker. When populists quarrel and
say hard thing of each other it sheds
great salt tear. It will not quarrel with
populists. If any of them abuse it, it
will not talk back, Now here is a proof
of its placid, calm, peaceful, pacific, tran
quil, unruffable and mild good nature.
The F. A. & I.U. quotes some hard things
written about us by Dr. Everett W. Fish
who once resided in Minnesota and
fought Donnelly, and who says: The Inde
pendent fails to fill the place of the
Wealthmakers, under the grand Howard
Gibson it is vindictive." Then the F.
A. & I. U. remarks:
"True and few have more cause to re
gret it than we have. For six years we
contributed heavily under various sig
natures, or with none, to the columns of
its successors. We were always welcome
and always advocated straight alliance
demands, the same as now. Our pen has
done more to build up the national repu
tation of the Independent than any
other except Burrows and Gibson, and
we need hardly except them as our work
was so much longer. Then to have the
new ontflt stab us in the back the first
week, shook our faith in humanity.
For the first time we regretted our years
of labor, which is used to elevate corpor
ation hirelings."
Now we want to return thanks to the
person, who has above all others, made
the Independent the great paper of widn
national infleunce that it is today. We
didn't know who it was. It was the editor
of the F. A. & I. U. Let all populists in
Nebraska and elsewhere take notice, and
be grateful and thankful for such emi
nent service. The Independent would
return thanks by giving the name of the
person that has rendered such distin
guished services, but the F. A. & I. U.
does not cary the name of the editor at
the head of its columns.
The editor of the F. A. & I. U. says
that he has contributed for six years to
columns of the Independent's "succes
sors." We return thanks for that also
double thanks for it makes sure the
success of this paper for future years as
those contributions, from time to time,
appear in its columns.
If there is anything more that we can
do to make peace, the F. A. & I. U. has
only to command and it will be done.
A POFULI9T VICTORY IN SIGHT
Now just keep quiet. There's a hen on.
If you don't believe it read this dis
patch from Washington.
"Senator Teller and Representative
Shafroth have decided definitely that
they will not be candidates for election
as delegates to the national republican
convention. They feel that there is no
hope that the convention will nominate
a candidate or adopt a platform which
they can indorse. Both say they cannot
support a gold standard candidate for
the presidency, no matter by what party
nominated, and they would only place
themselves in an embarrassing position
by participating in a convention against
silver as they consider the republican
convention will do. Mr. Teller says
that he promised the people of Colorado
in 1894 that he would notsupportagold
standard man in the campaign of 1896
and that he will not change his position
now."
There is going to be a big bolt from
the republican party, and the populists
will get the bolters. The republicans
can't carry a state west of the Mississ
ippi. A populist victory is coming into
plain view.
IS GEAR TURNING POP ?
The following purely Farmers' Alli
ance and pop doctrine appeared in the
editoral column of the State Journal
Wednesday morning:
"If it turns out that Electrician Moore
has discovered apian for lighting bouses
at no more monthly expense than that
of maintaining an electric doorbell, con
gress ought to wake up to the impor
tance of securing the right to use it by
all the people. It should buy the inven
tion outright and open it to the United
States. It is not likely that it would be
called upon to pay an exorbitant price
to the inventor."
Gear said we were "like hogs in a par
lor" when we said such things as that
four years ago.
KELLY TAKES THE BELT
One B, B. Kelly in the Atkinson Plain-
dealer says:
Your generally humble reader hag got deeld
edly on his ear, oa accconnt of the fact that he
considers himself Included In the stinging declar
ation made In oar statepapor. The Independent,
that "the people are too densely Ignorant on
economic subjects" to be trusted to dictate the
legislative policy of onr country.
What the Independent said was this:
The editor of the Independent is the most radi
cal man in Nebraska, bat be knows if he put all
his ideas of reform Into a platforn, and went be
fore the state In a contest upon it, in the dense
Ignorance that prevails among the people on
economic subjects, not a county would beearried
A while ago the Independent awarded
the belt to John Sherman. John will
have to give it up. It goes to B. B.
Kelly.
If there is not dense ignorance prevail
ing on economic subjects, why is it that
we are suffering under burdens laid upon
us by the money lenders, land grabbers,
corporations, combines and trusts whjle
we have universal suffrage. Kelly, you
can take the belt. John Sherman isn't
in it in a prevaricating contest when
you are on the other side.
Barney Gibbs says that the free silver
men can do the country more good by
cussing Cleveland than by discussing
each other.
Forcing to the Front
, Grand Island, Neb., April 15, 1896.
X arrived in this, one of the prettiest
little cities in the Platte Valley .last night
over the St. Jo & Grand Island R. R.
Grand Island is noted forber substantial
business buildings, her beautiful churches
and her palatial hotels. The Palmer,
especially under the management of Mr.
Baker, is taking her place in the front aa

pointments are all first class in every
particular.
While in the city I had the pleasure
of meeting Judge John R. Thomp

THE NORFOLK ASYLUM.
Several papers announced last week
that Gov. Holcomb had asked for the
resignation of Dr. McKay, superinten
dent of the Norfolk Asylum. In that
they were all mistaken. Gov. Holcomb
started for Norfolk yesterday and will
make just such a calm, thorough aud
judicial investigation of the charges
made against Dr. McKay as he has done
in all similar cases heretofore. Gov.
Holcomb is determined that all the insti
tutions of the state shall be economically
administered and that persons filling
positions requiring scientific knowledge
and training, shall prove by their ad
ministration of the work confided to
their superintendence that they have the
necessary qualifications. But he will also
bear in mind that it is to the interest of
the republican party in the state to
make charges against every man holding
office under him.
The Thursto-nManderson fight instead
of being settled, is only just begun. It
appears that the Associated Press failed
to report the rows and fights between
the Manderson and Thurston crowds at
Omaha. Now the B. ft M. is making its
vengeance felt on the men who deserted
Manderson and went over to Thurston
by taking up their annual passes. One
of them, E. A. Compton, was left stran d
ed in Lincoln 200 miles from home. The
rest of them will have to pay fare here
after over the B. M. system.
Truthful Anuin has downed Senator
Allen at last. He tells how he found
Allen in a restaurant eating eggs with a
knifel Annin goes into all the horrible
details of the awful affair says the eggs
were greasy, were fried only one side,
were not turned over, etc. Poor Allen!
To think that he should do such an
awful" thing when we all had such great
hopes of him! , ,
J. Sterling Morton told a New York
Herald reporter that the Bryan wing of
the Nebraska democracy were bolters,
whereupon Mr. Bryan rises in his wrath
and says:, "So the silver men bolted,
did they? There was a time when Mr.
Morton would have scorned such an in
accuracy (inaccuracy is mild) of speech,"
The democrats have at last put up a
candidate. Richard P. Bland has for
mally aunounced himself as a candidate
at the request of the Missouri democratic
state convention.
In February the gold reserve was f 44,

from the change?
CAPTURING THE OlttES.
Populists Making Gains ia Unexpected
Quarters
The news of the spring ejections in the
cities in the various states is arriving in
the populist weeklies. From everywhere
there comes news of the populists cap
turing the cities and towns where here
tofore they have had practically no vot
ing strength at all. Several of these vic
tories are uoted elsewhere in the Inde
pendent. The following is clipped from
Donnelly's paper the Representative:
In the recent city election in Milwaukee,
the republican vote for mavor fell off
from 24,053 in 1894 to 17,917 in 1896
a loss of 6,070 votes.
The democratic vote for mayor drop
ped from 18,815 in 1894 to 15,377 in
1896 a loss of 3,438 intwoshort years.
Here is a loss of nearly 100,000 votes
to the old parties in a presidential cam
paign year in the midst of a trumped up
excitement pertaining to caucuses, con
ventions and daily newspaper agitation
of the claims of candidates. Let us look
at the companion chapter of the story.
The people's partv vote for mayor
rose from 3,583 in 1894 to 9,120 in 1896
a gain of nearly 6,000 in two years.
In other words, the republican vote fell
off 25 per cent., the democraticvote drop
ped off 20 per cent; white the people's
party strength increased 155 per cent.
This is a significant showing. It shows
that the convictions of the people are
shaping. It presages the still deeper and
more wide-spread movement of Novem
ber next.
One fact in the Milwaukeeelection, and
a bright harbinger, of that influence
of the mutual reform movement, as rep
resented by the Mutual Reform League
and the Good Government clubs, went
largely to strengthen the people's party.
These organizations gave the people's
ticket 2,000 votes. It was thus in the
recent city elections in Fargo, Moorhead,
Jamestown, Duluth and other cities. The
people's party is the only truly reform
party through which there is present
hope of reform victory, and the reform
element of thecountry has begun to take
earnest and substantial cognizance of
the fact. . F. N. S.
Michigan Pops Win.
Last Monday the populists of northern
Michigan carried Negaunee by over 400
and Ishpeming by from 624 to 943.
The defeat of the old parties is one of the
most crushing they ever experienced.

State Central Committee.
They Have a Harmonious Session
at Hastings,
Taubeneck and Holcomb Talk to
Them.
Hastings, Ned., April 18, 1896.
The state central committee of the
people's independent party met at the
Bostwick hotel, Friday, April 17tb.
There were about thirty-three members
present and several representatives of
those who could not be in attendance:
The convention was called to order by
Chairman Edgerton, Secretary Eager
called the roll" after which Mayor EvanB
was introduced and made the welcome
address. He said this city was highly
honored, by being favored with this com
mittee meeting, and he as the executive
officer, extended a hearty welcome to the
committee, He said Chairman McCreary
of the recent republican Btate convention
tion, had said Adams county was thja
birthplace of the populist party and he
(the mayor) was glad to welcome itback
as a child grown to full and robust man
hood, He hoped the members of the
committee would feel at home while here,
and extended an invitation to the com
mittee to hold the state convention here.
Chairman Edgerton responded by
thanking the mayor in a few well chosen
words for the hearty welcome extended.
After some little discussion as to the
best method of electing delegates to the
national convention, it was decided that
a state convention for the election of
delegates be held at Grand Island, July
15, nine delegates should be chosen
from each congressional district and
three from the state at large.
On motion of S. M. Elder of Clay county
the proposition of Hastings for holding
the convention for the nomination of
state officers at this place be accepted,
and in order that the central commit
tee will know just what the embodiment
of the Hastings proposition was, it was
read by Mr. LeDioyt. In substance it
was that the hotels would make reduced
rates to the delegates, and the railroad
facilities of which we are justly proud!
and the ability of the Queen City to care
for any crowd that may come here.
The motion to accept was seconded by
Adjutant General Barry, who said he
knew what the hospitality of Hastings
was, having been here last year as a
member of the late militia. Mr. Ed
wards of Grand Island and several others
seconded the motion to accept the Hast
ings proposition, and it was carried
without a dissenting voice.
The time for holding the convention
was left to the executive committee to
determine and will be made known at an
early date.
After the business of the convention
was all disposed of Chairman Taubeneck
of the national committee and Governor
Silas A. Holcomb were introduced and
requested to address the committee, to
which they responded in a very enthusi
astic manner. The meeting was one of
perfect harmony and good feeling
throughout.
They are Still for Allen.
Omaha, Neb., April 15, '96.
Editor Independent: I enclose here
with copy of resolutions adopted by the
Wm. V. Allen Club, on the occasion of its
organization, yesterday evening. It is
the desire of the members of theclub that
the resolutions be published in the Inde
pendent. Yours truly,
J. J. Points
Whereas, The name of Senator Wm. V.
Allen, of Nebraska, has been frequently
mentioned in connection with the nomi
nation, by the people's independent party,
for the high office of president of the
.' United States, therefore, be it
i Resolved, By the Wm. V. Allen Club, of
r Omaha, Nebraska, that we recognize in
Senator Allen an ottlcer who holds his
position, not through promises of party
patronage or threats of party discipline,
not through the influence of great corpo
rations won by unquestioning service,
not through the profession of political
priuciples by the man that the officer has
not dared defend, but one who confers
upon his office as great honor as he re
ceives from it.
Resolved, That we have followed with
ever increasing satisfaction, the official
career of Senator Allen during the past
three years, and that we indorse his
course in congress as that of one worthy
of the highest honors at the hands of the
people whom he has served so well.
Resolved, That Senator Allen owes his
exalted place in the esteem and respect
of his countrymen to his high character,
to his intelligent appreciation of the
needs of the people, to his courageous
defense of popular rights against the en
croachments of purchased privilege and
organized wealth, to his steady opposi
tion to the substitution of the power of
a greedy and irresponsible aristocracy
for the liberty of the citizen, to his con
tinuous protest against the transfer of
the property of the masses to the few
who have not earned it.
Resolved, That we hereby pledge the
best efforts of this club and itsindividual
members to the nomination of Senator
Allen, by the people's independent party,
to the office of president of the United
States.

what shall be ikept 001" of a har
vester than to say what shall "go
into" it It is so easy to do the
wrong thing and the wrong thing
has such an inviting appearance
that less experienced manufacturers
than the McCormick Co. frequent
ly find themselves "putting their
foot in it" and building a machine
one season which they are obliged
to abandon a season or two later.
Because a good thing is a good
thing in its place, it doesn't neces
sarily follow that it is a good thing
in a harvester or mower.
Fight shy of the machine whose
best recommend is that "it seems
to have a bright idea" in its make
up. Remember this every day in
the year: McCormick Machines
will work where others fail.
The makers of McCormick Ma
chines have been at it for sixty-five
years. By long experience they
have found out how to build the
best binders and mowers.
The new McCormick Light-Running
Open Elevator Harvester and Binder,
the McCormick No. 4 Steel Mower and
the McCormick Corn Harvester are
unequalled for capacity, light draft
efficiency of service and long life.
Built, sold and guaranteed by the
McCormick Harvesting Machine Co.,
Chicago.
