For daring lo warn the people agaliiat
their dishonest ex-tllairht clerk, Mr,

(iHsocliites, abused and maligned hy
Kdwnrd Hoaewnter, who championed
Ihe cnuao of Frank K, Moore, and

In his puny' convention; and tjin,
when alvi-n the finiiil nation on I lie fu
sion ticket, wa defeated at the poll
hy Ihe very men whoae Interest he
nttempled lo protect.
The same reault will follow the ac
tion of Alhyn I,. Frank In thl enm

Mr, Hoaewster'a man, Kiersiend, who
wa turned down wlrti neatnea and

ask for a reuomlnntloii next year,
Mr, Hoaewaler and hi thicker, who
never aupport a man whom Ihey can
not uii", will Dalit him because he
dared lo help to defeat probably Ihu
moat unfnllhfiil county commissioner
who was ever on the board In Ihiugi
county,
We do not glory over Mr, Connol
ly' election; we do thank Hod for
Klersfiad' defeat.
Mr, Connolly I an untried man. It
I possible for him to make or ruin
himself politically, if he goe Into
a combination wlih Mr, doctor and
llofeldt and loads down the county
par roll with a lot of Human Cath
olic, there will he no question a to
when hi political career will come to
an end, but If, on Ihe other hand, he
realize that It wa I'nrtestant Re
publican A, P. A, vole that put him
where he Is, and he appoint Protest
ant democrat, populist and republi
can to poalilons, he I pretty cer
tain to gel a second lerm, Thl paper
will not hesitate lo rrltfclsn him If
he doea wrong; and II will aland hy
him If be doe what I right,
Another lesson lhat ha been
learned, and thl limn It I by the
Mali, I lhat a corrupt Protestant re
publican cannot eectir the endorae
nomt of thl paper, even when an
Irishman I running nicalnsf h.m
While we did not endorae Mr, Connolly
we realise that our flKht on W. F.
Klersiead resulted In Mr, Crmnolly'
election.
Another lesson I that the vote on
Ihe slate ticket and for eonaressman
would have been much larger bad the
republican party not lcn compelled
to apologue for nominating such men
as Moore and Klersttad, the apeclnl
pet of the Omaha Dee. The people
are tired of Uosewater dictation. Will
the republican party ever recognize
that fact?

And tho American hlahops d-cdved
