Populism has Eduoated the Masses,
Aroused Interest and Set tho
Poople to Thinking.
IT WILL COME ALL RIGHT,
The Peoples Party lias done Muoh
But Its Mission Is not
Yet Ended
Jliii-nlii Word of Truth,
Purer motive, nobler 01 urn, never
moved a people tfluuhi those , wblldb
moved the men and women wluo or
ganized the people' iwurty, Illdit'ulcd,
abused, slandered, we moved on, end
we were growing a the storm cloud
grow. We couldn't lie met Ui de
bate. Our as wa too plain; our
proof too positive. Newsjaipers bad
to close their column to us. The
editor guve lrl readers alamler- wot
arguments, The politician gave the
people falsehoods wot reason. They
could howl us down; they could shoot
us down j tihey could count u out.
They could not meet us la fair de
bate, and they hud sense enough not
to try.
1, on the otber hand, you moan to
omk men, now irocs it wiui the roii-
triple of populism, I any to you that
they never commanded more m-peet,
never met with the Approval vt a
burger proportion of our fellow citi
zen than they do todwy. Necessity
1 forcing1 them forward, Class legis
lation bus become so arrogant and op
jwwwdve that the masses of tbe Am
erican ticople ore stirring In profound
dissatisfaction with it. Money u
homing the b'glwlnitlon of the Jowl,
ami a-l I hutu realize It, The taxes or
ore the nmnyj Ui favor ore voted to
the few, (Jorporaite greed and lawless
ness are adding strengtlh to our rail
road plnnk. The great New York pa
pers are populist on thait question.
The railroad there are no intolerably
tyromnlcal that tbey have forced pub
lie opinion our way. At an expense of
sixteen millions of dollar tbe people
of tlhe two dtles, New York and
Brooklyn, built a mngndflcewt bridge
to expedite buatness and travel for
the people. Bribed aUJermen fto-ve
give over this bridge to the rail
roads, and tfhese have practically run
the people off their own brblge. Hence
New Yorker ee the wisdom of open
ing tlie highways of travel and let
ting the ownertdlilp of pinbllo 5ii!gli
wwy remain with the public.
I'opullet principle liave done mwJh

GREAT SILVEH MEETING
Poople of Linooln Turn Out By tbe
Hundred to Hear Silver Dis
cussed at the Oliver.
CALLS BUEKETT TO ACCOUNT
Audlenie Larger Tbon Greeted
Ilayward When He Opened
tbe Republican Campaign.
KathnlRin Lnbouoilnd,
Tho fuaion force held a meeting
Monday night at the Oliver theater
which urprbied everybody on. account
of the very lurgo audience tha-t turned
out to Lear the money question (lU
cunaed. The free silver men were as
much surprbed at the lorgene of
the crowd a were the republican,
The fuaion force have no dully paper
In the city and there wo no bran
band. The meeting had been adver
tlttud by tlie dbtrtbutloa of a few
band bill and yet there wa a larger
audience preaent than, that when
Judire Ilayward. the republican cuu-
dklute for governor, opened the gold
KUuiiaru utte campaign.
Ihe Qicetlnir wu adurcssea by the
free Uver candhlate for eongrc Jn
tlii district, Mr. Miinulian and
Judge lumi of Omalia. The specchc
weie devoted amowt excluvlvely to the
money quctlon. Mr. Manahan, how
ever devoted iilmoat exclusively to
hammerliiff Burkett, the cold tand-
ard candidate, la which he mtule it
very plain to the audience that Jiur
kctt had run away from a chnllcngo
to dlMcutt the qucilon wlilcb the
voter were called upon to deckle in
the comlni? election.. Mr. Manahun
1 delivering over the d'iatrlct in which
lie ay to the people that there is
very kmie auJerence oetwcea thpu-
liKt, deiruocrat, free allver rpubli
can and republican on the money
quention and there would be practi
cally none, if they only understood
each, other, They all believed in the
coinage of silver, only the republicano
thought the beat way wa to buy the
ftilver, coin it and pay it out. and the
other partle wanted th government
to allow the people to bring the sii
ver to the mfut and let the irovern-
ment coin it and give them buck the
dollar. Mr. Hurkett tells the people
max tnere 1 pracucany no difference
in mene two procee. The republi
can party i all the time coi.ndnr il
ver, and then he pull a silver dollar
out of hi pocket of this year coin
age and how it to the audience.
When Mr. Burkett planned that tort
of a campaign, be no doubt clearly
aw umi 11 would not do to allow a
free silver man on the same platform
with him and that wo the reason ho
refuacd to Join iaaue in a diaciudon

When kry fm Y. Ik lled'.n! t tk-
heml of their committee they struck
tlie old machine a blow that It will
not outlive during this campaign.' P.
0. Jledluiml might bave saved the peo
ple of tliis state $10,000 that BaTty
ntole if lie had) bad honesty and, back
bone enough to bave refused to audit
that claim and exposed Hartley as it
was bis sworn duty to do.
Tills is the kind of man Mr. Hay
ward Ihas selected to run s.is caiapaiiK'ni,
Why tUd' they select Mr. Hedlund?
Simply because they bad to, as there
might bave been a rebelMou against
tho old ring. Tliere are otlher evi
dence bbnwing tbat tlbat Hayward
belong to fhe old ling, some of which
are these: '
He I tbe honest republican that
pledged himself to the County att mey
of bis couinity (Otoe), Mr. Jensen, Wlio
had responded to tlie president s call
to go i a defense of hi con mf y's honor,
1 say be pledged bimseli to Mr. Jes
sen, tlhe counlty attoruey, to take bis
place and fill it honestly ami to the
best of hi otblldty While be was gome
to war. How did be do it?
By refusing to prosecute a republi
can, defaulter, Mr. Ebrlght, superini
tendent of tbe Institute for the blind
at Nebraska City, who had beea found
miort by a comTOattee appoinited bv
the legitebrittire, ,
The eounity attorney. Mr, Jesaen.
brougilit this suit and bellved Ebriirbit
to be guilty, as Senator Mut bad
imttiered) anil compiled evidence
against Mm to such an extent that
Jensen entertained 00 doubt of Eb-
rigliit' guilt. .
On the monunff of Mar 20. the dar
t for trial, Senator Mutz appeared
with; bis witnesses ready for trUd. He
expected Judge Hayward would' prose
cute tllie case a be woe tbe eounity
attorney. But after wai ting some
ncoiiw ujo uvur iut vrisi, ear.
ilayward Had not appear and Senator
Mutz telephoned bdm at tbe office ami
he refused to bave anything to do with,
the cane, and after abuslnar Mr. Mutz
by the use of tbe most vile language,
umoeeomung' 10 a gentleman, Mr. Mutz
asked him why be refused to prose
cuite tOie case. He said it was because
it would oast reflection uoon bim and
other dtlaens of Nebraska City. And,
being tunable over the phone to pour
out bis reform republican vile epithets
upon the populist who had been desig
nated by tbe legislature to hunt down
and help to prosecute these default
ers, be soon arrived et the court bouse,
burst into the court room not as a
gcntleman and bonorable man would
aproaob a court room, but as an war
civilized savage, and there abticed Sen
ator Mutz for carrying out hie sworn
duty, using the coarsest, most vulgar
and profane language that is possible
for any border ruffian to use.
Is this tlhe kind of a man to grace ,
tbe executive chair of Nebraska? A
man unrefined, a man who violates hi
pledges, prostitutes and degrades the
position of one of our boys in blue at
the front in defense of our country
and flag? Is there anything lower to
wbicJh a man can stoop? Would you
so degrade the state of Nebraska by
electing a man. like tbi to fill the ex
ecutive chair? A man like this would
be danigerous in a public place. It
Is well known that bad tbe case ntt
been dilsmissed by a republican judge,
but gone to tTinl, sure enough one of
Nebraska City' regenerated republi
cans would bave been humJlitated and
reflected upon to the amount of about
$.100. ,
Tliis is wby Mr. Ilayward refused to
prosecute tbi ease a he was afraid
tbat it would reflect on bim as be bad
been paid $300 by Ebrlc-ht ttleirally as
rtin le shown by the voucher. Mr. Eb-
nght drew up a voucner In favor of
Ilayward and Hayward testified that
it was a just and correct claim against
the state toy attaching bis l (mature
thereto end the claim was rejected by
Auditor Moore. (A claim that 'Oene
Moore and I. O. Hedlund would re
ject, must have been awful rotten or
they were left out of tbe deal.)
By the triplicate voucher on file at
the Institute and other evidences
would imMento tbnt Mr. Hayworrt's
claim wna returned rejected and Mr.
Kbrlgli paid Mr. Hayward $30u out of
tho cof fund at the Irntltntion. Now,
If any on doubt thi. It ean be proven
by a triplicate voucher end a letter
from Mr. I3rlght to rVnatcr Mut?
stnitirtf thnt he imlil Mr, llevwwnl out
of the cash fund. Now, If 'dene Moore
rejected thi claim because It wa lib
"cul ami not a Just claim resins! the
tate, atul Mr, llaysrd knew It td
leen rejected for "the above reasons.
