If the dem acrats bad stood by him as the populists did, he would have been elected. Popu lists cared nothing about the name. They believed that Bryan was honest and would use all his influence to enact the laws the populists wanted. Not a popu. list bolted Bryan even in the south where democracy is a stench. They voted for him although they saw 53 gold stand ard men running for congress on the same ticket with Bryan. Men and meaa, urea are what the populists want, not names. Hereafter there are to be two demo cratic parties. The gold standards ar organizing in every state in the anion It is said that Senator Mitchell of Wis consin, who pretended to support Bryan, has nlready perfected a gold democratic organization in that state. The goldites would have had the last national con vention if they had not believed that they could go to Cnicago and buy it as they always had done. They won't make that mistake again. Whether they capture the organization, or perpetuate the Indianapolis one, there are bound to be two democratic parties. All we have to clo is to go right along educating the people, standing by the platform adopt ed at St. Louis, and wherever we are in power giving the most efficient and econ omical government the people have ever had..- FUNNY OLD SHFKMAN. For a concise sentence telling how the value of silver bullion would be doubled by free coinage and at the same time not be doubled at all, but remain just where jt is. The following extract from a speech by John Sherman beats all other at tempts ever made: "Why should we re ceive this bullion from the owners o silver mines at nearly double its market value? The only object and effect o1 this measure will be to degrade the dot' lar, to lessen its purchasing power nearly one-half to enable debtors to pay their debts ot 58 cents on the dollar."

Bryan was given the most enthusiastic reception in Denver on the 24th inst. that any man ever received in the state. In one of his numerous speeches there he said: "I was to give credit to the popu list party. It was the first party to de. dare for silver at the 16 to 1 ratio, and it has consistently fought for it." It wilj continue to fight for it in the future as in the past. PERFECTLY PBOPEB. The republican couuty sheriff of Lan caster county refuses to allow sheriff sale I notices to be published in any except. n straight republican papers, those that have fought for that party. As a result weget no sheriff sale notioesfor pub lication. It is a great advantage to the republican papers of this county and city where sheriff sales are very numer ous. We do not complain at this repub - licsa csust? official for tula ruliug but what we do complain of is that when populist officers are elected they refuse to make a similar ruling in the interest of their papers. Populist officers do not seem to realize the advantages of a good strong newspaper, and in many cases in our knowledge do not protect them as they should. These are the. fellows' complain of. we f THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVE THEM. The other night the Home Market club of Boston had a big feast to rejoice over McKinley's ' election. The membership of this club is composed of the most ultra high protectionists in the county. The closing incident of the toasts and re sponses as given by the press reports is follows: "Gen Alger closed his remarks by paying an eloquent tribute to Presi dent Cleveland, and for the first time in Boston, by a republican body, tore cheers were given for that official." Did not the populist platform of 1802 tell the truth when It charged that the two old parties were preparing for a "sham battle" over the tariff and that Cleveland and Harrison were twin con spirators engaged in a plot to make serfs and slaves of American producers? Only about 1,600,000 voters believed it then. Over 6,000,000 believe it now. Ten million will believe it in 1900. v '1 TOLD YOC SO?' The editor of the Independent has waited a month before venturing to print his "I told you so" about the election He wanted to cool off after the long fierce fight end bear what all the other "1-told-you- sos" had to say. 1 be moment the Chicago convention adopted the populist platform and nom inated Bryan the whole political situa tion changed. If it had nominated Boise, or any other one of the contesting candi dates there would have been a chance for a straight populist ticket. But with Bryan on the platform there was no chance at all. The main body of the populists being intelligent, farsseing men, saw the truth of the situation, accepted the inevitable and went to work to de, vise some way to preserve the populist organization and at the same time give Bryan the unanimous, earnest and en- chusiastic suppoJt of the whole populist party. To accomplish that end, th nomination of Tom Watson as vice. president was the very best thing that could have been done. It was also necessary that Sewal should remain on the ti.ket to help Bryan in those dark, benighted portions of the country where the inhabitant" knew nothing of populism except the caricatures of it that they bad seen in old party papers. To have withdrawn either Watson or Sewall would have been to give up the fight. Bryan and Watson being the candi. dates of the peoples party, the putting up of Bryan and Sewall electors in Kan, sas and Colorado by the populists in these states, was certainly a breach of faith. It gave Mark Hanna the only chance he had to use money in starting middle-of-the-road parties in various states, and did Bryan great harm In such states as Indiana and Minnesota, It certainly caused Bryan to lose the state of Indiana. If fusion electoral tickets had been put up in Kansas and Colorado and Tom Watson had gone to Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa and made a few such speeches - as he made in Lin coln in support of Bryan, Bryan would have been elected. The result of the election shows that populists can't be iooled by juggling The Beet Factorial. To repeal the sugar beet bounty will mean tne removal of Nebraska s sugar beet factories. Alma Record. Let 'em be removed. The compara tively small number of f.rmers who raise beets can build new factories if ne cessary. Tne Uxnard gang is a part of the sugar trust, and the sugar trust will have factories in Nebraska as long as it Says them to make sugar. Red Cloud ation. FREE SILVER QOLDBUQS. How one of them Avoided Troublesome Questions. The following article from the Wash ington Post will give free silver men and populists an idea t ot what would have happened if Bryan had been elected and had secured a small democratic major ity in the house. The writer of this knows Mr. Cummings personally. He is a gold standard man and always has been one. Fifty-three just such men as Mr. Cum mings ran for the house on Bryan free silver tickets in the east and south. That is the reason the southern populists would not fuse. This is a story of Congressman Amos Cummings' experience in the recently ended campaign. It is perfectly true. says the Washington Post, for I have it from Mr. tumming's own lips. He sup ported the regular democratic ticket, as you know, but for reasons of his own he avoided as far as possible all discussion of the campaign's financial issues. Se cure in the friendship of every policeman and letter carrier in his district he got on swimmingly till almost the very last aneech ha mailt. Tr mm In m hail and be bad a large audience. He taiked about, national honor, and the flag, and the equality of man, and the rights of the masses, with a twist or two of the British lions tail by way of variety. It was a great speech. Suddenly it was in terrupted py a man down In the front row. "Tell us about the ratio!" he cried Mr. Cummings paused, perplexed. Just then his eye caught the eye of an espec ially friendly policeman. No words were exchanged, but an instant later the strong hand of the law descended on the collar of the inquiring man. He was yanked clear out of bis seat and hustled to tne door. 'Til have you understand," said the policeman, as he jerked him down the aisle, "that we II have no such language useu uwre. The Advance Agent'! Great Show. Every dav sees a left-handed recoirni- tion ot tb latterlng ante-election prom- of prosperity made by that much lauded advance agent during the late campaign. Here are some ot the evidences: About 100 men employed at the factory ot the Virginia and North Caro lina Wheeling Company at Richmond, Va., are on a strike on account of 10 per cent reduction ia wages. - Mrs. Kose jrerson. who conducts one of the largest retail millinery stores in Philadelphia, has confessed judgment to 89,000 Executions were issued, but no assignment has yet been recorded.

It was thought Mr. McKin ley's election was to make this a "land of milk and honey?" A new schedule of working hours has been put into effect in the machine shops of the Southern Railway company. In the future work will only continue for nine hours per day, instead of ten hours as heretofore. ' . r rank Miller has been appointed re ceiver of the Utilisation company, which has the contract for reducing the city garbage of Bridgeport, Conn., by a new system. The liabilities of the concern are said to be f 42,000. with assets val ued at between $50,000 and $60,000. Mabley & Co., one of the leading re tail clothing firms of Detroit, Monday filed a chattel mortgage for $150,000 to the Union Trust company, as trustees for their creditors, and a blanket mort gage covering the entire stock of cloth ing, boots and shoes, men's furnishings, etc., also made to the same company, J.

Salt Lake Herald. A wave of prosperity struck Kearney a fey days since and tne large grocery store of Edward Webster was closed. It struck Ogalalla and closed the only bank in the county. Minden Courier. Dayton, o;, Nov. 24. The Piew York papers are reporting a great Doom in trade; among the places they mention that are struck by this prosperity boom Dayton ia found. It ia said, among other items, that the Dayton Car Shop has reopened witn y.imu men. and that 50 of our manufacturers are working at full steam. The residents of Dayton I read all this with amateraent Instead of any factories having reopened, work ingmen have been "temporarily" dis charged, and wages have been reduced in the following establish ments: Brass foundry of the Cash Register Co., these shops work now only 4 days a week, before election 5 days; Buckeye Iron and Brass Works, Davis' Sewing , Machine and Bicycle Works. Hammond & Walliston's Cigar factory, Stamps' Shoe factory, and Zan- gel's Box factory. The normal condi tion of the last two is that of starvation wages anyhow. But this is not the worst of it. There are rumors of fur ther reduction in wages being pending. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 80. The Mis souri National bauk, one of the largest banking institutions in this city, closed its door this morning and is in charge of H. A. Format), uatioual examiner. The failure is due to the money on hand running below the reserve required un der the banking laws and paper among ths assets being given a much lower value by Examiner orman than by the bank officials. The officers of tne insti tution say they will pay depositors in full. The failure created a surprise, as the bank was generally Understood to be in a sound condition. Its last statement was made on October 6, and showed re sources at the close ot business that day to be f 1,875.537.34. Its capital was $250,000. Examiner Forman says the condition of the bank is practically the same as on October 6. The only differ ence is in the value of some of the assets. No trouble is anticipated ia any of the other Kansas City banks. Washington, Nov. 80. The First Na tional bank of Tyler, Tex., failed today.

A notice was posted in the Chicago, Burlington ft Quincy shops here tonight reducing the hours of-the large force of workingmen to tblrty-two a week. This is but part of a general order that haa been ap plied over the system, and supplements one made a month ago. There were also laid off some men in each department, although the company kept as many men as possible preferring to cut the hours rather than throw a large force 01 men out of work at the beginning of winter. " - Skilled machinists, who four years ago were making 910 to f a weex, are now making but $S a week, and others in like porortion. The men are very blue over the situation.
