THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. Oct. 27, 1898 MEL IV. I BRIAN Has Never Asked a Favor of the Government Since he First Enlisted. ALWAYS AT POST OF DUTY acks are Constantly Made Upon Him, But He Answers Back Not a Word. 1 Still following tha flag . ..ZZ The Chicago Kocord, on October 19 th, published the following special telegram dated at Omaha: "Nebraska political circled are much agitated by the Nebraska Independent, tlw official organ of the fusion forces, charging that the republican federal ad ministration has forced Col. liryan back to army life when be t very III. The re publican declare the accusation in falsa and was made for the purpose of in fluencing politic In the state, which are admitted to bare reached a very critical stage." The Information upon which the article in Tub Ixdkpksoent was baaed woe contained in an Associated Press dis patch, which said that Colonel Dry an hod gone to the mountains in Virginia to regain hie health, but on hie arrival there had been ordered to return to bis regiment immediately, He went to his regiment, and if be was not ordered there, the falsehood was started by that gold-beg corporation. The Btate Journal of October 20tb contains the following dispatch from its Washington liar: 'As a matter of fact. Colonel Bryan came to Washington for the purpose of meeting tno governor 01 Ms Mate and securing the disruption of the Third Ne l.raukn. (! muni iiv tha frillMliirlnu' nut of a batullon, which action would have enabled him to hare left the service without resigning," In the same column Ir. which the above appeared there Is printed In the Journal the following Associated Pre dispatch: Washington, October iu. iue war department today gave out the follow. log: The Heerctary of war, on being akd about the report that Col. W. J. liryan of theThiid Nebraska had been refused leave 01 absence and kept with bis regiment, authorized the statement that Colonel liryan has asked no Indul gence whatever of the war department, ho that none bad been refused him. Any reports to the contrary are without foundation in fact. The statement given out by the war department is a complete denial of the assertions of the Journal's Washington liar, and by an Inadvertence, appeared iu the sume column of the nme edition. Every man la Nebraska, except the poor, ignorant creature who read nothing but republican patters, knows that Col. liryan never made such a request as Acnin say he did. Governor Holcomb asked that enough men be discharged from the two regiments to reduce Ne braska's quota to an equality with that of the other state, and in doing that, that the men discharged should be the sick, the disabled, and those who bad families dependent upon them. The re fluent was ho wine and Just, so evidently for the good both of the the service and of the men, that the administration was finally forced to grant it. Colonel liryan has never given the slightest Intimation that he wanted to resign or to be mustered out of theser vice. lie ha taken no part in politic since ho enlisted. With the exception of three or four day, ho bn answered "preseut" at every roll call. There I perhaps not another colonel in the army who ha been o contiintly at hi post of duty. During all thin time there ha been couNtaut assault made upon him. lie ha been attacked n no ollluer or soldier nerving iu the United 8tntrnriny w a ever at t nek ml In fore, Through it all he ha bore It with a patience and a courage that ha doubly eudeurcd him to all tboae who stood by him two year ago, and tin made him friend among all right thinking tneii tverynher. lie ha not failed in hi new position to add additional honor, not only la hi own name, but to the fus he advocate. ing means fifty more votes for Poynter 1 next congress will be close, la short be and the whole ticket 1 here are people in this neck of the woods woo would make Uoloomb president of the United States if they could. The last time he ran be got more than 150 republican votes in Cedar couuty. At tne repuou- can primary in the city of llartlngton tin) year tney votea on cnoice ior gov- ernor. lloicomu was votea ior in mux, republican primary. Hence the influence bis speech had here. The boat about any republican carrying Cedar county is as empty as the last three lines of a town pauper's will. TURNOUT THE VOTE, Imt Every Man I)o til Uuty sad to It That Kvery Other Mao Doe. I trust I will be pardoned for coming again before you to appeal to yon In be half of a cause In which we are mutually Interested the cause of progress and reform. We have won glorious victories In the state of Nebraska. We not only want to take no step backward, but ws want to win a still mor orlous victory this fall, We want to give that grand farmer, W. A. Poynter, a much larger majority than wegave Kilas A. Holcomb in ma. . . There I not a shadow of doubt that we will do this If a full vote is polled; and In this very fact lies a great ganger. With this confidence in a surs vtctory comes the temptation to stay at home on election day, and attend to some duty that seems pressing. Populist voter, let me entreat you not to do this. . . . There are over 230,000 voters in this state, The failure to vote of one In one hundred moan a shrinkage of a, .100 votes. Carry thee figure out to higher percentages. Five per cent stay at home mean a lo of 1 1,000 vote. Itemember we all have this confidence In kucccm. We know we are going to win. And then remember that the temp tation to stay at home may pervade large tnaes of men; and then think what a calamity that connaence may bring upon u. Ho, let me entreat every inaiviuuni voter to do his duty, And not only that but let me entreat him to make it hi buslneHS to see to it that the popu lists of hi precinct also do their duty. lt erery populit in the state consti tute himself a committee of one to see to it that a full vote is cast, and we will win the greatest rlctory ever won in the nation. No populist can afford to forego hie shnrs in thi election. To fail to face the enemy is as bad as to run. To be shot In the bock In a great bat tle I a dlMgrace that would make our descendants blub for (fenerations. I thank Uod for my confidence that there are no such populists. The issue bnv been fairly well stated In an address that wa homed by the fusion committees last week. Dut there Is one trreat Issee that ha not received enough attention in thi campaign That i the great money question. Populate, republicans, democrat; all citizen do you remember that in 1800 the republicans promised yon in ternatlonal bimetallism? and that now, in 1 end of redeeming that promise, or trvinir to redeem It, they bove prepared a bill which I backed by the treasury department, adopted by the ndminut ra tion, and reported by the Houe com mittee on bunking and currency, which retire the greenback makes silver and silver certificate token money only turn the whole money creating power of the government over to the bunks fantens the gold standard forever upon the nation, and create the moat stupen dous bank monopoly the world has ever seen. 1 cannot go Into the details of thi bill in thi short article but I will say that it contains provision of the most infamous character which strike at the very source and spring of American liberty. This question iu In Issue now. If you show auy fulling off in your vote thi full, it will be cotslrued to mean your aequiesenee In thi iufumy. PopuliMt, your interest were never more vitally at stake than they are In thi election. 1 entreat you, l implore you to poll your lull vote to the very last man. Your lor the good cause, J. P.IIIIIOWU. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 21, 18'J, expects the republicans will lose thirty or fortv members b.v thi fairs olectiou. Not content with showing themlres alarmed, but they have (Uncovered that all Europe will be scared todeatdliw do not vote for irold and burning the irri!nback. Thev are all going to pitcb In and helo Houiu not back ail sue uns lot. Itatl They can't say that our candidate for coventor "farms the farmers" for he farms with his own hands bis own farm. V.vnrv farmer who does not vote for W. A. 1'ornter deserves to be cost out of I the tanner' synagogue, About nine tonths of all tha offices are filled with lawyers, now let ns have a farmer.
