HARRISON AND SILVER.
An effort is made by some republi
cans to hold free coinage republicans
in lino by claiming that Harrison is
really friendly to silver. Of course
every man who is a close observer and
a student of our politics knows that
Harrison is backed by the money
power because of his bitter hostility to
silver, and that he will veto any sort of
a free coinage bill. It is interesting in
this connection to read the opinions of
Senator Teller, a republican.
On the 11th of February last he wrote
as follows:
We can pass a free coinage bill
through congress, but we know that it
cannot become a lay while Harrison is
president.
Harrison has never done a thing for
the west, and Jf any man knows of a
reason why the jeople of Colorado
should aid in securing his renomlna
tion, I should like to have him tell
what it is.
I do not believe he has ever said he
was in favor of the coinage of the
American silver product, 1 do not be
lieve he would sign s.-.ch a bill if it
passed.
Upon the 18th of February last Sena
tor Teller wrote to Judge Amos Steck
as follows:
If he (Harrison) is nominated and
elected there will be no valuable silver
legislation during the next four years
He will not sign a free coinage bill, nor
will he sign one for the coinage of the
American product.
Can any intelligent repu1 lican dis
puto the correctness of Teller's posi
tion? Can any freo silver republican
vote for Harrison knowing where ho
stands on the question?
It is understood that Mr. Whitehead
has already been put m charge of the
distribution of postoffice9 in the Sixth
district, no needs it.
The international monetary confer

OUR PEOPLE'S DAILY.
The arrangements made a few days
ago by which the subscription lists of
The Daily Sun and the Daily Public
of Omaha were consolidated to be filled
by the latter paper seems to give very
general satisfaction. The Public of
September 13th contained the following
announcement:
Arrangements havicg been perf cted
with the proprietors of tbc LINCOLN
iiUN whereby the publicatioa of that
paper hs been discon inucd and the
subscription list turned over io The
Public, we hereby extend greetings to
our new patio: s and shall endeavor to
merit their conlideL.ee and continued
support. The understanding includes
the furrishing of this paper to the paid
up subscribers-of 'Jiik SUN for the
length of time for which that paper
was Duid for. oh that account. The in
terests fr which both mners were
battling being those of men of moder
ate incuts it was scarce y to bo expect
ed that a larsio number of daily papers
could I e supported. The conduct of
The Sun proprietors was most worthy
and we trust will be highly satisfactory
to all concerned. The Public is now
the only daily and weekly people's
party paper in jNebrasKa arm one oi tne
very few in the Un ted States. It has
been encouraged to an extent that is
wonderful and is going forward as eo
new paper eer propercd before in a
city li e size of Umalia.
Nebraska is filled with spies. They
come from all the middle and eastern
states, They arc here to spy out the

residence, and arc beinir treated w.th
due cons'dera'ion and condescension.
Kearney Hub".
Yes, and it is amusing to hear repub
licans explaining to these "spies" that
Crounse, thtir candidate for governor,
didn't know what he was talking about
when he slandered Nebraska as an
agricultural state.
Col E. A. Fletcher of Frontier
county has been out in Colorado visit
ing and doing some effective work for
the people's c iusp. The Daily Miner
of Fremont (Col.) speaks very highly

twenty-one rounds and did It easily.
Politics at the state fair proved a
failure. The independents wisely re
fused to have any part in it. The re
publicans couldn't get a speaker. The
democrats had Congressman white ot
Iowa, but a raajoilty of the people
didn't even know ho was tkere. He
delivered a very good speech, but v( ry
few people cared to listen to him.
Certainly every voter in Nebraska
knows where Walt Scelcy stands. He
is the most wily and subservient rail
road capper in the state. Two years
ao. Tom Majors chose Seeley as his
private secretary. Isn't that enough
to show where Majors stands.' Ihe
only way to down the railroad ring is
to defeat its candidates. Vote for bura-
der.
A little less grumbling over dUap
oointed hopes and a little more cheer
ful work for the independent ticket
would bo very appropriate just now.
It wiil do you nor your party any good
to expose-your sores, you can't all go to
the legislature this year and perhaps
some of you never will, but you can be
men enough to bear your disappoint
ment without kickiDg.-Sutton Register
A correspondent suggests that if
Tom Majors had desired to emulate
the example of George Washington
with his little hatchet, his letter to
Shrader would have read as follows:
Mr. Shrader.
Dear Sir: I decline your challenge
for joint debate for these reasons:
In the nrst place, I am not very
heavy on debate. I am heavier on G.
A. It. and such things, slick slimy deals
of secret duplicity irrespective of party
lines. But my nmst important reason
is that no one kuows what I think
about tariff, or the silver question, aud
I wish to keep them in sucn ignorance,
and I think I can succeed better by
keeping out of joint debates. I have
no hesitancy in stating my position on
G. A. R., and if you will confine the
debate to that, I will accept the chal
lenge. Otherwise I must decline be
cause you are an anarchist, and in joint
debate with me, I am afraid that you
would carry the people with you into
anarchy.
Chicago Sentinel: On page 75 of
a book entitled 'Responsible Govern
ment.' a Republican campaign text
book written by Van Buren Denslow,
I I D., late associate editor of tfeo
New York Tribune, is found the sug
gestion embodying Ihe reorganlza
t'on of our state government in such
a manner as to give to capital or the
tax-payers a distinct -veto on the
action of the non-capitalists.' On
page 77 of this Republican campaign
text-book this plutocratic ass asserts
that; Ihe people are not fit for self
government' This aristocrat'.c ass
and capitalistic toady is enthusiast
tically supporting Harrison." This
cuss was my "pet abomination"
among those who attended the New
York Liberal club. Horace Greely,
first p.esident once got himself
elected president of that body. But
we soon gave him that tired feel
ing," and he slid out.
