The great advertising train started on time from Omaha on its trip through the east and is pronounced a very fine collec tion and is in the hands of men who will work to attract people and capital to Ne braska. Over fifty counties were repre sented in the exhibition train and it will do a great deal to "coax" people to Ne braska The article which appears in another column of this issue from the Chadron Advocate will show how Crites worked to get nominated at the independent convention at Valentine, and it will also Show what position Raum And Babcock were in and the kind of independents they were. The name of the person to whom the letter was written is not given, but the leader of the democratic party in Sioux county and the individual who is Crites' main striker here is well known; so that the identity of the indi vidual to whom the letter was addressed can be pretty clearly guessed at The irrigation companies are paying a pood deal of attention to Melbourne of file. The fact of his efforts to produce rain having been attended by a good deal of success and his effer to water a large tract of territory in Kansas at a very low rate per acre, does not appear to please the leaders of the great irrigation companies. The truth is becoming ap parent The schema of the irrigation companies is to get the arid lands ceded to the several states and then they will secure the water franchise from the state government and proceed with the greatest land steal that has ever been perpetrated m the United States. The r plans are well and deeply laid but it is safe to say that they will not be able to e them out If the states can e the land, the nation is in a posi o do so much better and the lands should be kept from under the control of corporations. With efforts being made to put railroads and telegraph lines under government control it would be rather inconsistent to create a land monopoly. THE HEW BALLOT LAW. InstraeUaas to Tatora.

The following is a true copy of a let ter written by Judge Crites September 10th, thej only , omission being the name or the person at Harrison to whom it was addressed. The word democratic is iippiied in brackets to make the mat sgo)ew. TM. Independent state coo- ,venton had already been held when the .letter was written and the person ad dressed is a democrat. , The letter was hrnna4it.

Fone of said independents! pm anything to do with obtaining it, It .was not published sooner for the reason .that it was hot known whether Judge foft" would rail or bojt after he was de 'Mitod at the Valero convention. ,Wwtbatbe seams' determined to run not as a democrat, which he really is, .but as an Independent, it seems right and jMopsr that the rotors, of. the . 15th judi cut district should know some of the' Beaasused in his campaign.

By read ing it beforehand you will understand better how to prepare your ballots 1. Persons desiring to vote must pro cure their ballots from a member of the election board. 3. They must then, without leaving the polling place, proceed to a compart ment and prepare their ballots. 3. The ballots are prepared as follows Make a cross mark (X) with ink in the right margin of the ballot, opposite the name of each person for whom you wish to vote. Be careful that you do not mark the names of persons for whom you do not wish to vote. Do not make any mark on the ballot ve as above directed, or the ballot will not be counted. If you spoil a ballot return it to member of the election board, and obtain a new ballot, (you cannot get more than four in all,) take this to a compartment and mark it properly. 4. Having marked the ballot, fold it so as to conceal the names and marks on the face, and to expose the names on the back. 5. Take it to the Judge of Election before leaving the inclosure, and see it deposited in the box. 6. Immediately leave the railed in closure. 7. If you wish to vote for any person whose came does not appear upon the ballot, write or insert his full name in the blank space on the ballot under the proper office you wish him to hold, and make a cross mark in the proper margin opposite the name. 8. Do not take any ballot from the polling place; you thereby forfeit the right to vote. The above rules must be strictly ad hered to or your Vote cannot be counted. "Sbo. 26.

If anv voter doubta tliat Judge Barker is in tlie field for re-election, lus doubU will certainly be expelled by reading the Herald. Walker thought be had Barker poumledoutof the way, but if Barker does not receive twenty-five more major ity than any candidate in the field, we have a patent leatlier cork, for stopping ths. which we will donate to the editor of the Herald. The slimy, sneaking prevaricator of the Herald is at his old triuks again. He tries to shift the carelessness of the for mer administration of the couoty treas urer's office upon f he present administra tion. He knows as well ss others that Messrs. Ashenfelter, Schaller, Worm and Jurtrens left Sioux county with their personal property before the present treasurer had charge of the books. He tries to niake it appear that the treas urer would rather persecute widows and orphans tlian to make able-bodied men pay their taxes. He knows that Mr. Gayhart is honorable and just in his deal ings with the tax-payers, but lie adheres to his doctrine of slinsrinc enough mud so that Borne of it will stick. for THOMAS REIDY for GAYHART PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT STATE TICKET.

The parties who are interested in the money belonging to the Cottonwood school district about which theflferoM and its Ind.-Demo.-Rep. strikers are mak ing a fuss are satisfied that everything about the transaction was Honorable as far as the treasurer is concerned. There was no loss to any person1, and there is nothing to explain about matter only that the Herald is at a loss to find any thing to accuse the treasurer of that will demand tbe attention of any sen sible voter. The forming of political schemes is one thing to carry them out success fully is another. The Walker-Satterlee-Hough-McOinley outfit set out early to divide, what they are 'pleased to term, tbe mud-ring vote. They made extra ordinary efforts to induce good men, who were opposed to their manner of running things, generally, to accept nominations for office. They failed in that respect to a certain extent, but they managed to cause four tickets to . be placed in the field, thinking thereby to accomplish the object above mentioned. It may be a surprise to tbe gang, bat it is a fact, nevertheless, that tbe dose they had pre pared for their opponents has to be swal lowed by themselves, and, as is gener ally the fact in such cases, it is making tbem sick. They are not only sick, but they are mad, and "Whom tbe Gods would destroy they first make mad." Vote tie pfcbPLE'B TICKET. and thereby retain an economical administration. '.. ..)

A man that will use from two to three columns of Aw paper for airing hit per sonal spleen is a gentleman (?). V The Walker-Satterlee-Hough-McGinley outfit are rattled they are on the run. They not only htul one little meeting to decide who are to k the "straw" men, but they have had :.evermL They cannot agree there are too many vrould-bs leaders. There are to be more meetings and if tbey cannot decide soon as t who Is to be slaughtered, there will be fun, fur and feathers in the air. The candi dates are chawing their bits and want to start, yet tbey want to know who their friends are. The straight republican racket is a sreat farce. The straight1 democratic racket is a greater farce. Tet each of the candidates nave some friends, and tbe deception business has been carried about as far as will be tolerated. The republican candidate with the democratic deputy running for the purpose of dividing the vote in the northern precincts Ys loo thin to waw well. If this was the first election in Sioux county such little schemes might work successfully, but the voters are not to be duped that way. V We wonder how the political sharks. Satterlee and Walker succeed in holding appointments with the numerous candi dates of their three tickets without rep resentatives of different tickets coming together on the same day in their mus eum of curiosities. For instance. Mr. Burke will happen in town on Monday and spend the day in cousultation with tbem, and is sent away with the 1mirea- sion that be is the man of destiny this year. Uo tbe next day the boy candi date arrives, "our own Dan Publow, the man whom we brought tf ore the peo ple out of our own fertile bra'ib and for purposes only known to ourselves," It takes a great deal less to convince Dan that be is pecul&rly selected for the posi tion and will have the support of every body, than it does Burke, as the latter gentleman is a man of maturer vears and vastly ihb .'political experience tnan his opponent of Cottonwood. Thea on a day different from both of the others appears Mike, but it takes nothing w assure mm nail lie is the chosen of a million for the positid", that his Websteffah statesmanship vriich is shown by his ability in belittling his op ponents, wno are common ocdinarv men of the county, will draw to his support even his enenW He is the nominee of tbe republican 'party and expects the support of the democrats' through htn deputy (?), who is one of the rankest democrats in the state. So he wiUiArs'wi to the country with the iApressfon that i.- i ii i Li ' 1 ' . ... iw um mm irau-ty support oi tne political Sbylocks, aforesaid, and so on with all the other candidates, but we think some of tbem will be undeceived on Nov. 3rd A Pi beam issspaiga.
