A good many democrats who felt incen
sed at the refusal of Hon. John H. Ames
as United States circuit court commis
sioner to entertain the charge of at
tetnped coercion and intimidation pre
ferred againetWater Commissioner Byer,
growing out of the peremptory dismissal
of Freman Kennedy of the water depart
ment for his refusal to support McKinley
have been heard declaring their inten
tion of opposing Mr. Ames' candidacy
for appointment as United States circuit
judge to succeed the late Judge Dundy.
Recent events, however, prove that these
democrats could not do anything that
would operate so greatly to Mr. Ames,
advantage in this contest as to oppose
him on the grounds stated.
There is no question that the action of
the water commissioner was cowardly
and despicable, and in direct : violation
of the federal statute for the prevention
and punishment of (attempt to coerce
and intimidate voters, but such acts of
political tryanny are but the outgrowth
of modern political methods. Lincoln
is bo unfortunate as to be burdened with
a republican administratfon, and it is
but natural, perhaps, that the admin
istration should use the full power of the
city government to ; further the suc
cess of the republican party. Custom,
which too often ignores and discedits
laws specifically enacted, prescribes that
the man who holds office under a repub
lican adminstration must show himself
to be a republican or get out of the of
fice. This custom is the rock of Gibral
tar upon which. Water Commissioner
Byer builds his fabric of justification for
the removal of Fireman Kennedy, and it
is doubtless upon this ground that
United States Court Commissioner Ames
declined to entertain acoroplaint against
Mr. Byer under the federal statutes.
It the electric light of the most search
ing investigation - were turned upon Mr.
Ames' course in this matter and the facts
were made plain to the administration,
they would not in the least embarrass
Mr. Ames' candidacy for the federal
judgship. One would at first blush sup
pose that a man who would excuse or
. wink at a violation, even in spirit, of
federal law, could for a moment be seri
ously considered as a fit and likely can
didate for a federal judgship, but the
truth is, that under existing conditions
nothing would so seriously operate to
Mr. Ames' advantage in his race for the
judgship as to have full knowledge of his
acts in this matter brought to the atten
tion of the administration. This can be
aid without any design to reflect un
justly upon the national administra
tion. It would doubtless be tacitly ac
knowledged by the administration, but
if it were not one would not have to
search history further back than the
telegram of this morning to prove it.
Theprees dispatches snow that Presi

McMillan were friends of Senator Black
burn of Kentucky and were active in
the Blackburn-Carlisle contest for the
Kentucky senatorship, and Byan was a
free silver candidate for congress in the
Rochester district in New York.
In his contest for the judgeship Mr.
Ames ought to bear down hard upon his
record in the Byer episode. It will ap
peal to the bigotry of the appointing
power. No certificate of good character
or legal ability that could be presented
could be relied upon to have so much
force and effect. His ri vais for the ap
pointment are Judge Crawford of West

ing the result of the election has been
received. I beg you to accept my hearty
thanks for your great services in the
cause of sound money and protection
throughout the campaign now closed.
They were most generous and effective,
and will receive the warm approbation
of your countrymen everywhere. I will
be pleased to have you convey to your
associates of the national committee my
most hearty appreciation of their
efficient services.
The people, in their majesty, ignoring
party lines have declared their detesta
tion of repudiation and dishonor in
whatever specious guise they may be
presented. They have with the same
mighty power affirmed their devotion
to law and order and their
undeviating respect for justice and the
courts. They have maintained their fal
tering determination to support aid up-
bold the constituted authorities 01 tne
country and have thereby given, new
vigor and strength to our free institu
tions. They have, indeed, again conse
crated themselves to country and bap
tized the cherished ordinances of free
government with anew and holy pat
riotism. The victory is not to party or
section, but of and for the whole Ameri
can people. Not the least of the tri
umphs of the election is the obliteration
of sectional lines in the republic. We
have demonstrated to the world that
we are a united people, in purpose as in
name. We have manifested in the great
cause the spirit of fraternity and broth
erhood that should always characterize
our common and equal citizenship and
have proven conclusively that in a coun
try of equal privileges and equal oppor
tunities the insidious doctrine of hate or
of class or sectional distinctions cannot
prevail. Let us as Americans straight
way devote ourselves to the upbuilding
of America; to tne , place, nonor ana
elorv of our common country. Party
dissensions should no longer divide or
rack the public mind, or the zeal or
temper of either side deter any citizen
from patriotic devotion to the good of
all. WILLIAM JHC&JNLEY.

Oold Monometallism in the United States
Means the Prosperity, of Mexico.
City of Mexico, Nov. 6. No previous
presidential election in the United State
has created such excitement and interest
among all classes as the present one for
business men. Bankers and manufac
turers felt that Mexican interests de
manded the election of McKinley, The
Mexican Herald says:
"For Mexico the declaration ol tne
American people in favor of the gold
standard means continued prosperity
here. It signifies large dividends for our
mills and banks thus earn ing into et-
feet many large and important under
takings for which capital would not
have been obtained in the United States
had Bryan been elected. The result is
for the general good of Mexico.
MEDICAL WISDOn
The Dreaded Consump
tion Can Be Cured.
T. A. Slocum, M. C, the Great Chemist and
Scientist, Offers to Bend Free to the
Afflicted, Three Bottle of Hit
" Xewly Discovered Remedies
to Cure Consumption end
all Lang Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy in its wake
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. C, of
183 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make its
great merits known, he will send, free,
three bottles to any reader of Nebraska
Independent who is suffering from chest,
bronchial, throat and lung troubles or
consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty a duty which he owes to human
ity to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, apart from its inherent
strength, is enough to commend it, and
more so is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the proposition.
Ho has proved consumption to be a
curable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European Labratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured, in all parts of the world.
Delays are dangerous. Address T. A.
Slocum, M. C, 183 Pearl street, New
York, and when writing the Doctor,
please give express and postoffice ad
dress, and mention reading this article
in the Nebraska Independent.
