hrard In public mneilng denouncing
htm as an enemy of society unit good
government. Von have used your
keen Intellect i espoee hii hjr porly ;
yon have exhausted the Vocabulary of
epithets to eitpress your disgust at hi
Impertinent assumption of power In
republican councils. Your friends be
lieved that you were proof against his
blandishments. We are loth to be
lieve otherwise. Hut there are tome
tifcly stories afloat. If they are true
you will know It. The voters will ex
port an explanation, Our column are
open to you, Have you agreed with
Rosewater that In rase of your election
you will not Institute any proceedings,
of any character whatsoever, against
the ronvlct who Is now acting as may
or of Omaha?
To V, 1, Kiersteacl, Cundldnle for
County Commissioner;
You hold your office today us a dem
ocrat. You stand as one of the con
ttplctious example of Rosewater dis
loyalty to the republican parly. You
are a Rosewater man. You have been
the messenger boy who has carried In
formation, colored to suit Rosewater'
purpose, from the court house to the
Ilea editorial rooms. Your vole has
always been a Rosewater vote. You
were schooled In duplicity when yott
were a peanut boy on the railroad
trains, If you ever knew the difference
between right and wrong, your Rose
water training has destroyed your ca
pacity to make the distinction, When
this paragraph meets your eye, yon
will smile to know that your charar
terlstles are understood by others, Yon
laugh at the Idea of honesty In pub
lic office; you say the people don't
want It, Your record a county com
missioner bear out this statement,
You were elected county commissioner
when you had a claim against the
county for l.l.fiOO which the commis
sioners had to act upon, That claim
was outlawed. The special attorney
of the bourd so advised you In writ
ing. Your claim stood where over
100,000 of other claims stood. It was
your duty as county commissioner to
plead every legal defense. Hut you
did not do It. You schemed to defeat,
the law, and you succeeded, You
were the claimant as well as the Judge
and Jury, You displayed no modes
ty In the matter, Your fight wu
shameful, and It has cost the people of
Iwiuglas county over n hundred thou
sand dollars. Then you were a Moore
man, Your vote gave to Moore ffl.OOO
of money out of the county treasury
when Moores held In his possession
thousands' of dollar of witness fees
and other funds which belonged to his
successor In office. And you knew lt
Not only that, but you became tyran
nical and used your power as county
commissioner to discharge the men
from the county's employ who had
been Instrumental Inbrlngltig Moores'
crimes to light One question we wish
to ask: If you are elected county com
missioner, will you continue to be a
complete tool of Rosewater and al
low the people to be robbed right and
left? We want an answer over your
own signature,
To David II. Mercer, Candidate for
Congress',
You have been a Rosewater tool ever
since you' have been In congress. You
became his tool because you thought
lie could give you prestige as the rep
resentative of this district. The sit
uation In this campaign is changed.
There la the Rosewater parly and the
antl-Rosewater party. Republican
will make no other distinction In this
campaign. The same motive which
prompted you to go to Rosewater after

You have said that as stsm as ymi were
nominated and elected for a second
term, you were going to sear out a
warrant sgslnsl Frank K. M'M.res for
not I timing over to you the money
which should be In your hands as hi
successor. You are charged with con

he can help you to get a second term,
and you are suspected of being under
the Rosewater Influence In not pro

accepted time, Mr. Frank. Your record
will be your bent eamimign document
when you come up agnlit. You should
choose whom to serve without further

To conclude, gentlemen, allow it to
b stilted that The American Is not
antagonizing to-day except In one In
stance, the candidacy of any of you,
on any other ground than that of
Rosewater dictation, The platform Is
Rosewater dictation or nu Rosewater
dictation! The platform Is simple, It
is easily understood, On It you must
stand and be elected, or go down In de
feat. You must understand that the
people are not yet ready to give over
the government of this great common
wealth to so dangerous a demagogue,
so vile a slanderer, and so disloyal a
partisan as Rosewater. Now Is the
time for you Ut decide whom you will

Is the cUlm that Ctirlxtopher Co'um
bus discovered America fo indi d on
fact? John U: Shipley, an American
dt'.jn now In Kurope, say It Is not.
Mr Hhlploy has unearthed a mass of cor
respondence, hitherto unknown, which
Is startling In It disclosure. Il con
tain many letter between tha Holy
Sue and tha Archbishop of JJronlholm,
who wa at that time the Metropolitan,
regarding the government of the
church In America. The correspond
ence dates back even to the twelfth
century. . It embrace the view of the
ancient regarding the rotundity of the
earth, the vlei of scientist upon the
location of this Western world, whence
warm current and favoring breeze
had brought whisperings of new life
conquest and adventure; It deal with
vision and astrology and occultism of
the mainland beyond the chain of Is
lands, and Anally with these discover
ies which are vital to the present
question.
"This most Important find," says Mr.
Shipley, "proves that the discovery of
the Western Hemisphere was filly
known to tho beads of the Homao Cath
olic Church before Spanish expedition
ever reachod our coast, and establishes
beyond dispute the discovery of Amer
ica by the Anglo-Saxon race.
