The delegation contains just twenty-
four farmers, and with only a very few
exceptions, they are actual working
farmers who hold the plow handles and
wield the pitchfork. All such may
with equal propriety be classed as
laboring men. There are three law
yers and three editors, a very fair pro
portion of the whole.
. The independents in their choice of
delegates have recognized by acts what
the republicans only recognize in
e apty words, i. e , that agriculture is
the basis of prosperity. This delega
tion comes fresh , from the fields of
Nebraska, knowing well by experience
just what are the needs and sentiments
of the farmers. .They will
work for the interest of the farmers,
but in so doin they will act for the in
terest of every other class of men who
earn an honest living.
In point of ability, Nebraska's dele
gation is probably the best and most
.itAhlA that ever represented the
state in a national convention. They
are without exception men of excellent
standing in business and society, lney
are men of intelligence and good in
dividual judgment. They are men who
have ideas on political questions, and
who have the courage of their convic
tions. On the whole Nebraska's dele
gation is one to be proud of.
The choice of I. D. Chamberlain for
a delegate-at-large to the Omaha con
vention was an act of honor to a . man
who has done more for this movement
and asked less from it tbftn almost any
OOBBUPTED BY OVER-CONFIDENCE
In his great speech nominating Har
rison at Minneapolis, Chau.icey M.
Depew told how tho republican party
had held power for nearly twenty-five
yeare'af ler tho war. He said:
Tho conditions of republican victory
from 1860 to 1880 were created by
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses b. Grant.
Thev were that the saved re
public should be run by its faviors.
For twenty-five years there were
names with which to conjure, and
events fresh in the public mind which
were eloquent with popular enthusiasm.
It needed little else than a recital of
the glorious stories of its heroes and a
statement of the achievements or tho
republican party to retain tho confi
dence of the people.
Mr. Depew thus in a few words un
covers the cause of the corruption of
tho republican party. It was killed by
the over-confidence of tho people.
During that period there was no think
ing done on political questions. The
great mass of republican voters were
hero worshipers or party-worshipers.
This condition of the public mind op-
perated to clothe the organized leader
ship of the party with almost unlimit
ed power. To abuso such power was
only natural. The best and noblest men
can not safely be trusted with such
power. There were many such men in
bo Vearl y leadership of the party, bu
with few exceptions they wore either
compelled to yield to corrupting influ
ences, or bo crowded out by more cun
ning and selfish men.
Organized capital ant organized
bankers and bond holders saw
their opportunity. They invaded
tke halls of legislation demanding the
enactment of laws in their interests.
Manufacturers asked the maintenance
and increase of the high war tariffs.
Railroad corporations asked subsidies
and land grants. The bankers and
bondholders asked for tho payment of
bond J in gold, the destruction of the
greenbacks, the demonetization of
silvor. All these powerful interests
got what they asked through the re
publican party. And when campaign
time came around, the party leaders
shouted tho names of Lincoln and
Grant, recounted the valorous deeds of
the nation's defenders, aroused the
passions and prejudices resulting from
the war, and by these means induced
the people to ratify the action of the
party.
So fell tho republican party from its
high estate. And so far has it fallen
that not only has every great leader
who has tried to stem the tide of cor
ruption been retired, but now even
those who are suspected of sympathy
with the people are denied the leader
ship of the party as Mr. Blaine for
example.
Mr. Depcw's words are worthy of
preseration. Whoever will carefully
study the history of the past twenty
five years will see not only that his
words are true, but also that the fact
he so forcibly points out could not have
resulted otherwise than in the utter
corruption of the republican party.
People for ages have been taught to
sing "God Save the Kirg." But ve

titled, "God' Save the People," "the
common people." It shonl bo tin song
everywhere. See our catalogue ami

Six lives were lost and hundreds of
houses Inundated by a recent flood at
Matanzos, Cnba.
A Union Pacific passenger train was
derailed near Clifton, Kan., but no one
was seriously injured.

to aggregate 900,000 tons 100,000
