Hastings, Neb.-Speclal.)-A bomb bell was exploded In the republican camp In Hastings Wednesday, the echo of which will be heard throughout the state. The Hastings Republican, the oldest, Urgent and strongest republicsn newspsper In Central and Western Ne braska, prints the straight fusion ticket at the head of Its editorial columns, and announces that It will no longer submit to the leadership of such men as Hanna, Thompson, Kose water, Dietrich and Morian. In an editorial of great strength and genuine eloquence It tells the ressons that have led It to enlist In the fluht for fusion principles. Hastings repub licans are dased by the o:jw and frank, ly confess that It will have a powerful effect, not only In Adams county, but throughout the mate. They are espe daily dejected that their lesdlng urgan the home of their aubernatorlsl nomi nee should cast Its Influence against him at this critical juncture. CAN'T POLLOW THE PARTY. The Republican has been published here for twelve years, both as a dally and weekly newspaper. It has through u mat iime neanny supported repub lican candidates and measures. In the last few months, however. It has been noticed that though the Republican was still supporting the republican ticket, Its old-time force was lacking. The reason was that Prank A. Watkln. wno nns neen its editor since the flrst number appesred. was beginning to see the light. Mr. Wstklns, man of the Ben Harrison type, a thoughtful, er nost. patriotic eltUen. had been a re paMlMfl from conviction aad principle.

The signed editorial in which Mr. Watkins announces the change l destined to figure prominently through the balance of Nebraska's campaign. It is an earnest, forceful and logical pre sentation of political conditions which have Impelled his action and at the same time an eloquent and moving ap peal to old party associates to pause and honestly consider the Issues of the campaign. The editorial follows: ITS NEW DECLARATION. "For twelve years the Republican has been a republican newspaper. Since 1K8 It has made as best It could, a Clean. honeRt. manlv flirhr tnw rarnih.

Bryan of our own state Of Nebraska. ADHERES TO PRINCIPLE. "It will be found supporting fusion policies and fusion candidates becaune thev renrettent Ihrine rwllr-i,a It mill An this because it finds It eaalur in rihr to the Drincloles in which It ham oeuevea ana wnicn tne republican party has ahanrloned mnA AmrAA ikan tn follow that party In its desertion of those principles. With this statement of fact le desires In justice to Its resd ers and patrons who have accorded such faithful support, as well as In jus. tlce to itself, to Indicate briefly the conditions which hsve msde this an nouncement Imperative. "The republican party once stood for principle, for noble deeds, for American mess, mr acvoiwn to auty, it was a party led by thoughtful patriotic, ear nest men. It represented what was best and most healthful In American politics. That was before what Gov ernor Plngree denominates 'that Ohio crowd' got hold of It. It was before the views of Hannalsm was Inoculated in Its veins. Since that time the repub lican party has undergone a transform, atlon as startling and deplorable as It Is complete and undeniable. CONSPIRACY OP CORPORATIONS. The developments of the last two years have satisfied the Republican that when Marcus A. Hanna, with masuvly kill and matchless craft, took it upon himself to accomplish the nomlnstl.is and then the election of William Me Klnley four year ago, he acted at the Instance and as the sgent of a pow erful, angonipulovs and audacious com MmUmi of corporate and financial la teresl that were seeking for laair own ost jot tTtatooaaoai ootttroi gg f- . -i trMv,t-.-j d.4- national government That conspir acy was uuccesnful. The trusts and money lenders became the managers of the republican party, placed William JlcKlnley in power and for over three y.er" i!ave dl'',at'd his acts and poli cies. They hsve exacted from him and from congress, which they equally con. trol, gold standard legislation, further privileges to national bank. Immunity for trusts, high tariffs to chleld tlx-m from competition, a larger standing an unjust and un-American ar, corting thousands of lives and mil. nuns oi money. i .(1,E:yEM,E3 OP REPUBLIC. All this has been done that syndi cates may profit though the price were the blood of a brown people, that hun gered for liberty, the blood of Amer lean soldiers and tbe endangered lib erties of American people through the violation and repudiation of funda mental law which Is the charter of their freedom. The republican party today stands for policies as eternally opposed to the principles of the De claratlon of Independence as to the moral code of the Christian religion. It stands not only for special privileges to favored interests, for army and for em pire, but for conquest, rapine and brute force. It has returned to the diccarded ideas of kings and emperors against which our very existence as a nation Is a pr test. It Is the embodiment of a sordid and soullers commercialism and on its every policy Is stamped the dollar mark. CANNOT BE DEFENDED. "This la the product of Hannalsm. It la this against which the Republican protests and which it cannot and will not submit. If we hesitated to doubt the truth of these allegations before this campaign opened we can doubt no longer. The republican party rtands self-convicted. Its silence give assent to the charges preferred against it. Where Is the republican newspaper, where the republican leaders, where the republican campaigner who will discus the Issues of this campaign? Where the one who does not deny facts or distort them, who does not substi tute ridicule for argument or abuse for reason? Truth Is not thus propsgated or defended, It is error alone whlth seeks refuge In these tactics. . . . , CORRUPTION IN THE &TATE. A few words as to Nebraska. The republican feel keenly the disgrace at tending tbe exposure of republican peculations In the slate capliol and In the atate Institutions. But even In Its humiliation It hoped that the repub lican party of Nebraska would march through the fiery furnace to higher and better grounds, that old bosses would be repudiated and old methods dl" carded. We had hoped that the old day of Majors rind MacColl, of Hartley and Moore were gone forever, and that corporation dom nation wculd be thrown off. Yet today the liurilngton railroad I more ttan It ever was before the supreme dictator of Netirarka republic, aniam. A "result 0f it tafloenc the raaejfeJfoas nomine for governor to a Hat!- ass. Tht tUftttttawMi wMId , wf m ih r f Hastings republican for this high posi tion, involving as It does such grave responsibilities. WKTRICH-S CANDIDACY. The nominee they gave us Is C. 11, Dietrich. The Republican has no per sona enmity or malice for Mr. Dietrich, but In all candor we submit he Is riot in man 10 oe governor of Nebraska. The mere fact that every Christian min ister of his own city Is openly opposing him, that many of the best republican buclness men of his own city declare that they cannot alve him their vote speaks more forcefully than anything the Republican mlaht says as to Mr. Dietrich's qualifications for the office to which he aspires. ROSEWATER AND THOMPSON. For Lnlted States senators we find the w hole republican machinery at work In the Interests of D. E. Thompson and fcdward Rosewater. There is not an Intelligent man In Nebraska but knows that a republican legislature means that these men will represent us In the sen ate. Are they the men fit for the po sltlonT Do they stand for honesty and principles In politics? Who dare answer yes? Thompson Is a boss of the Hanna type, representing the B. A M. railroad Rosewater has been at once the bully and the hoodoo of Ne braska republicanism for a genera tion, yet these are the men appealing for our support today. "W 8.. Morian. rruri1lan irfi.i... for congress, Is of the same type as Thompson and Dietrich and takes his orders from the game corporation. Even F. P. Olmstead, who aspires to be float representative, Is tsrred with the same stick. , . . TO REPUBLICANS.

Way down deep In your hearts don't you know tht republican position on these matters Is your own position? With all earnest ness and sincerity the Republican begs its old party friends from whom It Is Mh to separate, by whose side It has fought shoulder to shoulder through many a hsrd campaign, to pause and consider well what Hannalsm means before costing a ballot to approve and commend snd. perpetuate It In Novem ber. . , "The Republican has hesitated long before taking the final step that must sever It from the cherished associations of decsde.

M KINLEY FLOPS. "We can hope no longer. When Wil liam MeKlnley denounced Grover Cleve land for dishonoring silver, for making money the master and ail things else the servsnt; when he declared that deai money made cheap men, we were wltb him. We were with him when, In 18! he promised us International bimetal lism; we were with him when he senl the money commission to Europe, Bui when he discredited his own commis sion and .fastened the gold standard more firmly on the American people our hearts were heavy. "We were with MeKlnley In the wai for the emancipation of the Cuban with him when he declared forcible an nexation would be criminal aggression, that It as contrary to our rode of mor allty and not to be thought of. Bui when he became the criminal aggressoi when he shattered our code of morality and entered upon the unthinkable pol icy of forcible annexation of the Philip, pine Islands, our faith waa turned tc bitter disappointment "We were with him when he declared that It was our plain duty to give free trade to Porto Rico; he violated that plain duty and demanded of congress the levying of an unconstitutional tar iff. We were with him when he prom Ised the people protection from the bad trusts; he tied the hands of his attorney general and gathered all trusts under' his protecting wing. "We were with him when his Cana dian boundary commission declared that the union Jack of England should never be hoisted over one foot of Amer ican soil In Alaska. He has lowered the stars and stripes from 6,000 square miles of Alaska territory, where the Im perial flag of England now floats In Its stead. HOPE OF THE PARTY OONE. " 'Mope deferred maketh the heart sick.' Doubting, fe.aring, hesitating, we have hoped for an explanation of all these things, against which our reason revolted and our conscience rebelled. We have hoped for an explanation of slavery and polygamy under the American flag In the Bulu Islands. We have hoped that even In the eleventh hour the grand old republican party, with the heroism of Its ancient great ness, would repudiate these things, and In the words of Abraham Lincoln, 're turn to the water whose fountain spring close to the Declaration of In dependence.' "We have been cruelly disappointed. The voices of old-time leaders have been silent as the grave; new leaders have ' made light and merry with sm red . things, Mark Hanna ha been sent forth to preach his own gospel and over all his Influence reigns supreme . All these things being true, the Republican can no longer support republican poll cleg In tho vain hope that the party it self wilt acknowledge lis error and re cant.
