in the platforms of the people's inde
pendent party, adopted by the national
convention at Omaha, on July 4, 1S!)2,
and the state convention at Kearney,
on August 3, 1892.
We denounco tho ac' ion of congress
in relinquishing tho control of the
World's fair, which has been dono by
giving over the management of what
was intended to bo a national exhibition
of tho country's resources, to a privato
corporation, thereby defeating tho
great object of tho World's Columbian
exposition by rendering it a money
making enterprise, managed by Chica
go speculators for privato gain. Be
leiving that this gigantic ex
hibition, commemorative of tho
discovery of this continent
and undertaken for tho edu
cation and enlightenment of tho world,
should have been given under the
management, control, direction, and
ownership, as well as by tho authority
of the national government, we com
mend tho act'on of our congressmen
from Nebraska in opposing tho World's
fair appropriation bill, and also tho
Russian aid bill. -

SIIRADKll OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN.
He Crosses Swords With a Ncith
Platte Lawyer and Annihi
lates Him.
Gandy, Logan County, Neb., Aug.
10, 1802. On Saturday night, August
13, Hon. C. I) Shrader, our candidate
for lieutenant governor, met in joint
debate lion. J. S. Iloagland, a promi
nent attorney of Norih Platte. To say
that the lawyer wasn't in it is to put it
mildly. Ho was simply annihilated.
Shrader had the opening speech and
ho forced the fighting on the financial
legislation of tho g. o. p. for tho last
thirty years. This disconcerted the
champion of federate monopolies.
Although armed with elabarate notes
ho was not prepared for the avalanche
of facts which swept down upon him.
Ho never undertook to controvert
Shrader's posi ion. He mado a line
spun1 deft rise of national banks,
thought freight rates ought to bo rea
sonable, but didn't know what rate
would bo reasonable, questioned Shra
der's veracity, and said ho didn't be
lieve Shrader knew what the free
coinage of silver meant. He reflected
upon General Fie'd's loyalty, for which
he got roundly hissed, and wound up
by ridiculing Shrader's war record.
The people resented the insinuations
and reflections cast upon their neigh
bor, and when Shrader resumed the
floor after Iloagland's two-hours' lir
ado they greeted him with a storm of
app'ause. Shrader waded in with his
coat off. lie fairly surprised his
friends with his final onslaught on the
shyiocks and tariff barons, and their
pigmy champion. They cheered and
stamped till the house shook. At the
end of an hour there wasn't a respecta
ble grease spot left of Iloagland or Ins
party.
New votes are coming to us every
day. We pledge Logan county solid
for the whole ticket.
Yours for tho war,
S. E. Keene.

Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 18 Special
to The Sun. Mr. Carl Brown, the
great California caricaturist, spoke at
Beatrice, Wednesday night, to a large
concourse of people. lie had hardly
commenced speaking when the republi
cans, under the leadership of their
nominee for state senator, Alexander
Graham, opened up on the opposite
street co-ner with their martial binds
and with music and yells attempted to
"dro wn out" the speaker. This great
ly exasperated the crowd and loud talk
of mobbing tho disturbers ' was heard
on every hand, and would in all proba
bility have been carried out if Judge
Bush had not taken tho stand and
mado a strong plea for peace and de
cency. Tho efforts of the republicans proved
futile and the crowd stayed and listened
to the burning words of eloquence to
the close of tho speech. Many republi
cans became disgusted with the action
of their party and were loud in d dar
ing that, they would vote the people's
ticket.
Tho infamous actions of the republi
can club and leaders will turn tho city
over to the people's party. M Brown
will return to the city and hcture Sat
urday afternoon and evening.

A Keunited Union.
General Weaver's war record, spot
less private character, his life work for
and advocacy of the principles in the
grand platform that was adopted at
Omaha, entitle him to the honor of
loading a non -sectional party to break
up the solid north and restore the
unity of this republic. The alliance
leaders of tho north and south will
support him to a man, assisted by all
industrial organizations.
The southern wing of the new party
endorses General Weaver as emphatic
ally as the vo'crs of that section do
General Fit Id of Virginia, who fought
for the "lost cause."
Tho Omaha convention paved Ihe
way for that grand epoch of reconcilia
tion so feared by the corrupt om'ee-hol-ders
who have cultivated strife and ha
tred for selfish ends, but which will be
an accomplished fact when the common
1 peop'e of the north and south come to
J gether like brothers, vote for their
' homes and the party ticket that stands
I for their homes, and the whole people,
and the rc-united union as it should be.
