Of all the men engaged in this cam

downed at last Let all honest men
thank God and take courage.
There is woe among the State House
thieves. They will have to show up
that 800,000 of the children's school
money now.
It looks as if the people of Nebraska
want a new deal in stat affairs, vyhat
a rustling there will be among the banks
when it becomes necessary to count out
the state's assets in cold cash.
Let it be said to the credit of Nebras
ka. Even the immense majorities in city
and county were nearly toppled over.
Mr. Bryan's neighbors seem to like him
and have confidence in him and his
causa.
Secretary Piper appears to have stul
tified his honor in vain. His attempted
deception of voters, while it misled many,
did not prevent the award, of the Ne
braska electoral vote to Nebraska's
glorious son.
Mark Hanna sent a big roll of money
to Nebraska to buy populists. In the
whole state he only got three. YanDer.
Yoort, Deck and Elder and they would
have been . dear at three cents a piece.
Mark Hanna got fooled that time.
The battle of the standards has pretty
effectually weeded the corporation cap
per and assistant republicans Out of
the party that will govern this state for
the next two years, and it is to be hoped
that they will be kept at a respectful dis
tance hereafter.
The populist editors of this state de.
serve the gratitude of all honest men.
Not even the big rolls of Hannacrat
money could buy one of them. They
stood by their guns during all the storm
of shot and shell. Not one of them
flinched. Not one of them failed. All
honor to tbem.
"I have said, and I repeat it, that I do
not want a vote unless there is behind
the vote the heart of the person who
casts the vote." That was Mr. Bryan's
idea of coercion, as expressed in his re
pressed in his recent speech in Lincoln.
It ia an utterance that will keep four
years if necessary, without losing its
strength.
We have been skimming out the trait
ors. We know them now. Charles X.
Matthews, Paul VanDerVoort, Bill Decb,
Sam Elder, N. A. Dunning. They cost
Hanna some money but did sot do him
any good. There seems to be some of
the same kind of fellows down in Kansas,
who ran a ticket to ' beat Bryan with
Hannacrat money.
BRYAN.
When W. J. Bryan, standing in the
midst Of a full bouse representatives In
Washington, speaking in regard to fas
tening the gold standard upon this
country said "I would rather sacrifice
my life than see it done," he was sneered
at by the plutocratic bankers who sur
rounded him, butlthose of us who caught
the flash of his eye and the firm set lips
when he uttered the words knew that he
meant all that he said.
Haggard and worn, he returns to us
after giving all the force and power that
was in him, after being many times
warned that be was wearing his life out
. and that it would not last nntil the end
of the campaign, and now all know that
be was willing to give even life itself, for
the cause of the poor.
V William J. Bryan, yon have captured
the hearts of the populists of this state.
They are surrendered to you as they
sever were to mortal man before, and
tbey tender to yon all they have to give
their praj ere, their gratitude and their
voii. From many a woman's lips,
L ;3 macy a scant and barren borne all

WELCOME HOME.
Whatever niy be the result of the
great politi'jal confict, the citizena of
Lincoln will not falter in extending to
the gallant, eloquent and courageous
champion of free coinage a heartfelt
welcome to bis borne ia their midst
Whether they wear the silver badge em
blazoned with bis likeness or the yellow
insignia of gold standard allegiance,
they know that he harbors no resent
ment against any man who, from con
victions of duty, has felt called upon to
deny support to him and the cause he
represents. Every neighbor of Mr. Bry
an will recognise and acknowledge the
sincerity of the convictions that have
led him to undertake and execute bis un
paralleled campaign, the equal of which
has never been sustained by mortal
man. They know that be loves Lincoln
as bia home, where he first achieved
through the kindness and confidence of
his neighbors and fellow-townsmen,
such distinction as has been his
lot They know that bis residence
among us. had added glory and
fame to an illustrious name, and the
fame of Lincoln as a city has been
brightened and Intensified by ths glori
ous efforts of its foremost citizen, who
has been likened to him whoae name the
city proudly bears. They recognize with
quickened consciousness his grand quali
ties as a statesman, his marvelous
power as an orator and bis spotless
character and reputation both as a pri
vate citizen and a public servant. The
slanderous misrepresentations incident
tooverzeal in a beated political cam
paign have fallen as harmlessly npon
him, so far as his standing here at home
is concerned, as fall the stiowflokes npon
the rooted rock.
No matter what may the verdict of the
American people as to the merits of
financial policies, the heat of the cam
paign will not have begun to cool be
fore the warmth of Mr. Bryan's welcome
borne will be manifested by a generous
acknowledgment of his' glorious efforts
for the success of the cause he has cham
pioned as no cauae has ever before been
championed by any man.
Whether he remains, at home as a pri
vate citizen or goes to the national
capital as the nation's chief executive,
Mr. Bryan will honor Lincoln by his
residence here, and her people welcome
him with glad hearts and hands.
THE WOMEN OF NEBRASKA.
No small part of the credit of the great
victory in this state is due to the work
of women, of which the Mary Bryan club
of Lincoln iaa aample. That club on
ths night before the election numbered
over 1200, The practical hard work
they did in canvassing every ward and
precinct in the city tor false registration,
vacant houses and imported voters in a
great measure prevented the raid on the
ballot boxes which had been planned.
But this was only part of their work.
The writer of this knows of eleven votes
secured against the yellow fever , plague
by the persistent work of these women
who plied the voters day after day with
oral argument and printed documents
nntil the men were convinced and cap
tured. All honor to the women and
may the day come when they will be a1
lowed to vote as well as to work.
NEBRASKA REDEEMED.
The day long waited for has come.
Nebraska is redeemed. Redeemed from
the rule of the railroads, from State
House steals, asylum steals, peniten
tiary steals, from oil room lobbyists,
from the rule of the State Journal, from
contractors with their "stone plugged to
size," from state treasurers who turn
over certificates of deposit in banks
where there is not one cent of money,
from men who grow rich on money that
belongs to little children, from an innu
merable band of villains who hare for
years lived on money taxed out of the
debt-ridden farmers, from a bond of
traitorous representatives in congress
who advocate tree silver at home and
vote tor gold bonds as soon as they get
to Washington, and from all the horrors
of a government of railroad corpora
tions, by corporations, for corporations.
A new era will dawn on this state. Its
honor will be preserved, its credit main
tained and the flag will wave over a
state house filled with honest men who
will administer the government wisely,
honestly and well.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN WAS FOUGHT.
If ths republicans had had an honest
principle to fight for there would have
been no necessity for them to fill the
daily papers with unblushing falsehoods
and absolute contradictions from the
beginning to the end of the campaign.
They constantly asserted that free coin
age would make a fifty-cent dollar and
at the same time raise the price of silver
bullion 100 per cent They declared
that free coinage would result in an
enormous contraction of the currency
and at the same time reduce the value of
money left in circulation one halt. They
would wave the flag above them and
shout for honor and honest money and
at the same time rob the school children.
They flooded the state with English
money to buy an election for the English
gold standard and claimed that they
were the only patriotic Americans, while
every statement of the fact they made
was a lie, and every proposition pro.
posed a palpable aelf contradiction.
They tried to raid the ballot boxes by
deceiving the voters, by patting the
nominations of a Hanna' annex,' on the
ticket under the name "democrat."
But with all tbeir falsehoods, all their
money and all their chicanery, they could
not deceive or buy a majority in this.the
most intelligent state in the American
Union.
On the other band the popuiists made
an honest campaign, based on principles
of political economy laid down in every
standard work treating of that science
in the whole world. Our orators did
not froth at the mouth, yelling "an
archy" and "repudiator" at their fellow
citizens, but tried to teach the science of
money and its functions as taught by
every thinker and philosopher since the
days of Aristotle. We made a state
campaign in support of an honest and
economical administration of the state
government We bad saved the tax
payers $200,000 in the administration
of a few institutions over which we bad
had control, and furnished the official
figures to prove it
Now we say to the people, what the
populists have done in state offices, we
will do in' national offices if you give us
con trol of the government at Washington.'
LET ALL MEN GIVE THANKH.
Out of the din of battle which has
waged for the last three months there
emerges another grand figure. A born
leader of men. Nebraska is proud of all
her brave sons who have fought to i ave
liberty and the homes of the people from
the curse of the yellow plague, but of
none is she prouder than of Silas A. Hol
comb. Nebraska furnished the leader to
fight the battle of the oppressed for the
whole nation, but the people of the state
showed even greater love for the head of
the state ticket than for. the matchless
man who was at the head of the national
ticket ' His executive ability, his hon
esty, bis love of home and country, com
mended him to the toilers everywhere
and the consequence was that Silas A.
Holcomb ran ahead of Bryan several
thousand votes.
The election of Holcomb and aful
state ticket in sympathy with him will
result in a state government that will
be a model of efficiency and economy for
the whole United States and the triune
forces that put it in power will hold this
state for the neqt twenty-five years. We
are forever rid of republican boodle gov
ernment. Let all men thank God.
LESSONS FROM THIS CAMPAIGN.
The most important lesson to be
learned from the campaign just closing
is the importance of education upon po
litical subjects among the masses of the
people. The plan of campaign conducted
by the republicans has been one of deceit.
To the working men of the cities they have
said that the triumph of the silver forces
would mean that the price of the pro
ducts of the farmers would be doubled
and thereby enhance the cost to them of i
the necessaries of life, that it would mean
high priced bread and high priced meat,
This argument was scarcely out of their
mouths until they would turn to the
farmers and assure them that the tri
umph of silver would mean that they
must sell their products for 50 cent dol
lars and would be ruined by the very
cheapness of their productions. In one
breuth they wodid tell th people that
the free coinage of silver would not
bring up its price, that the government
could not "legislate value into anything"
and in the next breath would asBert in
just as strong terms that the whole
compaign was merely a scheme to in
crease the value of silver and make the
silver miners rich.
This was true of their entire campaign.
It was one argument to one class and a
different argument to another class.
From all this we must learn that the
time to educate the people is when their
minds are tree from partisan prejudice,
not during the excitement of a presiden
tial campaign. Now is the time to be
gin. There are many important ques
tions yet to be settled by ballot. The
land and transportation questions.
The banking question. Government
ownership of railroads, telegraph and
telephone and other utilities. The mu
nicipal ownership of electric lighting
plants, water works and street railway
systems. All these and many other im
portant subjects will be given careful
consideration by the- populist press of
the country. It was the populist papers
that originated and forced to the front
the money question to its final solution.
With the proper support of the popu
lists of the country it will force to the
front all the other practical reforms un
til each and every one is settled correctly.
Now is the time to begin the campaign
of education and there is no better in
structor than a first class populist paper
See that yon have it in your house and
that your neighbor gets it. Voters that
are thoroughly educated on the issues
of the campaign and the principles of
the populist party cannot be intimi
dated, cannot be bought or deceived.
Begin the campaign of education now.
And amid it all comes the comforting
reflection that the retiring state treasurer
will be required to count out in cash to
his successor the amount of cash that
should be found in the state treasury.

A GREAT VICTORY,
One of the greatest victories ever
achieved by any state was achieved by
thjjple of Nebraska on Tuesday when
theCTowned the Burlington road. That
corpfration bos been the most insatiable
tyrant of modern history. With a single
exception, it has dominated every legis
lature that ever assembled in Lincoln
since the organization. It has elected
senators, controlled the courts, taxed
the farmers of Nebraska nntil thousands
of tbem have lost the homesteads given
to them by Uncle Sam, and filled our
asylums with wives driven insane with
toil and hopelessness.
The Denver News tells us of the efforts
it has mode to keep us slaves in the fol
lowing words:
"The Burlington road has gone into
the free transportation business at
wholesale in an effort to defeat Bryan
for president in Nebraska. Free trains
have been inaugurated for the purpose
of carrying into that state every former
resident who is willing to express his in
tention of voting for the goldbug candi
date. Within the past two days nearly
200 men have left Denver on passes for
Nebraska points, all furnished in the in
terest of the Hanna syndicate which is
making such desperate efforts to turn
Bryan's home statei nto the McKinley
column."
"In face of the fact that 500 former
residents of Nebraska who are now living
in Colorado have joined - in an address
urging their Nebraska friends to stand
by Bryan and the interests of the west,
to make it possible, by its success, for a
poor man to earn a living in Nebraska
as well as Colorado, the Burlington has
decided to 'turn its pass distributors
loose for the purpose of defeating the
will of the people within its territory.
And the road has found enough men who
are living in Colorado who are traitors
to the state's interests to fill a series of
specially provided political trains with
men willing to do Mark Hanna s bidding.
Men who have been in Colorado for
months and many of them for years,
professing to have the state's interest
and welfare at heart, are in Nebraska
today, giving as the price of a pass,
their votes to the candidate that repre
sents all that is calculated to retard and
destroy the prosperity of the state and
the west. While several thousand citi.
zens were parading the streets of Denver
last night, carrying a portrait of Bryan
and cheering his name to the echo, sev
eral hundred of their neighbors were
sneaking back to former homes in Ne
braska on passes, for the purpose of
stabbing Bryan in the bock at his home.
And when they have voted they will re
turn to Colorado and ask their share of
employment and patronage from the
people of this state."
' Now that the farmers, of Nebraska,
by the aid of W. J. Bryan, have it by the
throat, who could blame them if they
wrenked vengeance upon it? But they
will not do that. The people will only
deal justly by it. They will make it
their servant,' not their master. A ser
vant is worthy of his hire, but shall not
lord it over .his master hereafter. It was
a great victory.
HOLD THEM IN LINE.
Friends of the free silver cause who re
mained around the various headquarters
last night in hopes of hearing something
definite in regard to the result were
forced to suspect that events were some
where transpiring of an inexplicable na
ture. For hours the telegrams brought
no tidings from the states that were be
lieved to be in doubt, and when after a
long time meagre returns began to come
in they were bo indefinite and conflicting
that they were enough to excite the ut
most suspicion. The dispatches from
Chicago to the afternoon papers con
tained intelligence that the republican
national committee had wired the Ne
braska republican committee to "hold
the returns for Nebraska in line, as we
may need it." This expression was cer
tainly enough to arouse suspicion, espe
cially when it was found that the repub
licans, in the face of the fact that the
returns showed them to be badly beaten
in this state, continued to claim the
state. .
What the national committee expected
to accomplish by "holding the returns
in line" in the face of known defeat can
only be surmised. There could be but
one conclusion, and that was that they
hoped to claim everything and steal
whatever they needed if possible. "We
may need it" was an expression that
signified an intent to try and get it, by
some means that can only be surmjsed,
regardless of what the returns indicated.
There is no question that the' same
telegraphic order was sent to other
states, and hence it was that bulletins
stopped coming for a long time and
when they were, resumed the republicans
were claiming everything but Mississippi.
They were "holding them in line," for
fear that they might need them. Under
the circumstances it was not strange
that democrats began to suspect that
fraud and trickery was contemplated.
Meanwhile private dispatches were
coming to democratic headquarters
denying republican claims, some of
which came direct from democratic na
tional headquarters. Possibly due al
lowance might have been made for the
non-partisan character of the latter bad
not that suggestive telegram been sent
out from Chicago to hold the returns in
line. It was known that in compliance
with that instruction the republi
cans continued, in the face of certain de
feat, to claim Nebraska on the alleged
pretense that a mistake of 4,000 had
been made in the count of Douglas
county.
Suspicion was not unnatural. Demo
crate knew the character of the men who
are conducting the gold standard cam
paign. Tbey knew they would not hesi
tate to commit any political atrocity to
secure the success of their cause. They
knew that these unscrupulous men bad
the backing of powerful elements and
forces equally unscrupulous, including
the two press associations npon which
the people must depend for their infor
mation. There were plenty of reasons
for democratic suspicion.
It is possible that the states claimed
by the republicans may have gone for
McKinley and that he may be elected,
but although all democrats ore not from
Missouri, our suspicions have been justly
aroused and "you will have to showns."
WHAT OF THE RESULT.
At this writing, and the paper has
been held a day so as to give the result,
the election is still ia doubt. There ap
pears to be a close vote, in Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio. The
means of communication being in con
trol of a goldbug corporation, the poo
pie are not. allowed to know the trqtb.
But we have fought the bravest fight
against the greatest odds ever waged by
an oppressed people, and do what tbey
will with their goldbug press associa
tions'nnd telegraph monopoly, they con
ceal the tact that the people have risen
up in countless masses and proclaimed
themselves against the gold standard,
the railroad corporations, the syndicate
and the trusts.
If Bryan is declared not elected this
fight goes on! The allied forces will be
come more thoroughly organized and
harmonized. While the suffering and
misery will become more intense as the
evil of the gold standard presses upon
us, while farmers will be made beggars,
while the starving multitudes in the
great cities may be made riotous by
cold and starvation, still order must be
maintained at whatever cost.
Whatever may happen, the issue will
prove thatjthe populist and free silver
forces will always stand for law and
order. Their numbers are mode np of
the men and the sons of men who have
ever stood firm in the hands of national
peril. They are of a blood and lineage
that have ever been willing to die to
preserve liberty and Jaw. There they
stand today and ever will continue to
stand. .
On the other hand, if Bryan is elected
the fight is not over. Henry Clews
knew what he was saying when he talked
about the "reserve power of Wall street"
that no 'congress dare to oppose. If
Bryan is inaugurated, there will be ar
rayed against him in congress the most
cunning, devilish opposition that a pres
ident ever had to contend with, and the
fiercest battle will wage in Washington
that hasjever been fought there. "
AH the other forces that have fought
this battle must get together now.
Close up the ranks. Let an immediate
order be given to go forward. The next
campaign has already begun.

When this paper reaches the reader
the election will be over. At this writing
the result is unknown. It is not out of
place to review the contest and look
back over the last v few months to study
and contrast the two political elements
that have made this country a bloodless
battlefield.
That McKinley 'e candidacy was placed
in the hands of an organized syndicate
at the crisis of his financial embarass
ment, that this organization paid his
debts and took bis note therefor and
that these same notes were afterward
bought by Mark Hanna is now but his
tory. We have seen syndicates and
trusts organized for almost every other
purpose but a "Presidential Syndicate"
was a novelty. The management of
this syndicate fell into the hands of
Mark Hanna and be began bis unique
and iniquitous campaign early. He had
but one plan, his motto was "Every
man haa bia price, buy-buy-buy," and
he bought. He invaded either hi person
or by his trusted emissaries, every
state and county. He dominated al
1
most every state convmition, to secure
instructions for McKinley. It was
cheaper to buy the state conventions
than to buy the delegates after tbey were
elected. There were other candidates
tor the nomination, better men and"
better leaders than McKinley, men with
more than one idea, but tbey lacked
Mark Hanna's backing. This man who
had spent all bis life talking tariff, but
whose every utterance on finance had)
favored silver, suddenly lost his tongue
and state conventions in the south and
west that would never, have endorsed
him as a goldbug, sent delegations to
support him. The republican conven
tion at St Louis was billed to be the
greatest convention in history but a
the masses of the party saw, that Mr,
Hanna's little man was sure to win with
bought instructions, the interest waned
and the convention was the most poorly
attended, staid, cut and dried meeting
of its kind ever held by the republican
party. It was common talk among old
leaders that political clappers and pro
fessional rooters mechanically yelling:
"Mo-Kin-ley" were a poor substitute
for the hearty cheers and eager crowds
that had nominated Buch men as Lin
coln, Grant and Garfield. The honest
men were filled with disgust at this un
American meeting. The arrogant man
ufacturer, the bond clipper, the national
banker, with the fearful and wonderful
Hanna at tbeir head were all that .dared
to show tbeir hands. It was tbeir con
vention the people had nothing to do
with it. The crowd even forgot to cheer
when leaders like Foraker and Depew
came on the stage. They even forgot to
cheer when Lincoln's name was men
tioned. - Everything was Hanna and
McKinley. The only disturbance in be
half of the people was senator Teller's
speech and his leaving the convention.
However much his subsequent conduct
may be criticised, his leave taking of the
party for which he had done so much,
and the rallying around him of younger
men whose future was certainly jeopard
ized by the act was surely important.
The plutocratic leaders were relieved
when he was gone. They showed it
They feared that the little fire of honesty
might burst into flame and give them
trouble. When this was out of the road
the rest was quickly done; The plat
form with its British flavor, its falseness,
its daring espousal of a ruinous finan
cial policy was adopted. The profes
sional claquera in the galleries hurrahed.
The delegates almost to a man Bat silent
The farce of nominating favorite sons
was gone through with in a perfunctory
manner. McKinley was nominated.
When the drinking and carousing was
over, when the hirelings had done as
they were told, they pled into the freight
like coaches and were hauled to where
their furnished transportation indicated.
The real rulers steamed away in the one
hundred and nineteen private coaches
with a silent ease that was but a lullaby
to their opulent owners. Their victory
was more than half won, they had cap
tured the strongest political organiza
tion in the United States and with it
hoped to intrench themselves in power.
They felt content. They had fooled
some of the people. They hoped to fool
the rest of the people before the cam
paign ended.
All the world knows of the gigantic
corruption fund that Hanna began at
once to gather up. Money poured in
upon him. Rockefeller gave $150,000:
Sage, 90,000; Carnegie, 100,000; Yan
derbilt. $120,000; Pullman, fl50,000.
To give lees than $10,000 was to be
come a target for the wrath and ridicule
of Hanna. Not many honest dollars
went into this charnel house of liberty.
No poor man sent his dollar with his
blessing. The plan was to buy, Intimi
date, coerce.
In striking contrast to all this was the
Chicago convention, where a plain hon
est man of the people stood up alone,
and the multitude claimed him as their
leader and champion. It was futile for
the traditional leaders to advise a strad
dle, a compromise, a middle man. That
was a convention of and for the people.
Bland, Stone, Altgeld and Blackburn
with others as brave and as earnest
turned back the Hi'la and Whitneys and
told them to their face that the time had
come when the West and South would be
heard. This convention represented all
that was honest of the democratic party.
It was made up of the rank and file of
that party and as a rule the plain mem
bers of a political party are honest, how
ever corrupt the leaders may become.
It was true in this case. With a leader
of the common people in the field all in
terest centered in the action of the new
party at St. Louis. They saw in Mr.
Bryan a leader of honesty and ability, a
friend of the common people and readilv
turned to his support. A man never had
more loyol support from his own politi
cal party than the populists have .ac
corded to Mr. Bryan. To them more
than to the democrats he owes his elec
tion. It is they that he must thank, for
they are the ones, who deserted their
party, placed their patriotism above
party fealty, and fought manfully in hie
behalf. The populists have felt that Mr.
Bryan was their man and if he sits in the
White House, peoples party votes will
have put him there.
The gallant leader of the populist
party, Tom Watson regardless of the
consequences to himself fought from the
beginning to the close of the campaign
for Bryan's election. The populist party
deserves and demands at the hands of
the democratic leaders that Mr. Watson
be elected vice-president in preference to
Mr. Sewall. Will they be as honorable
in the distribution of the spoils as the
populists have been in carrying out their
pledges made at St. Louis? It is a test
of their honesty and by tbeir actions the
populist party will judge them.
