To the populist leaders ot Sher
man county gentleman:
We have been informed that you
are assiduously circulating the story
that Mr. J. M. Snyder had written
the open letter which appeared in
these columns last week, all of which
we wish to inform you is a mistake.
Mr. Snyder never saw it until it was
in cold type. It was an open expo
sition of facts that try as you may
you cannot detract from. And the
more you try the worse you com pi i.
cate your case. Mr. Snyder is just
the man we pictured him, high-mind
ed, brainey and honest to a fault,
capable of judging the right, aide to
express himself m an eloquent man
ner. and a man who can neither he
bough* nor bribed. But like Judge
Maxwell, must give way to those less
able and less wohthy as a reward for
their sterling worth. That Mr. Sny
der has made mistakes we are not
here to question. That his speeches
a few years ago that were tainted
with anarchism were lowering to an
honorable man we believe, and the
Northwestern said so at the time.
But that be is the most capable man
for the position you have in the
county you must acknowledge. And
vour turning him down at the end of
his first term for no known reason
uuless because he was honored by re
publicans, and populists should have
done so, places you in an unenviable
position when judged from your past
claims. “Reformers” should seek to
do justice and reward honesty when
they know they have found it. But
the word is a misnomer in the poli
tics of Nebraska, and should be hy
pocracy instead. We will wager you
that be is the only representative
you have sent to Lincoln, since your
party has controlled the politics of
the county that paid iiis passage
both ways. B. & U.
There are no republican candi
dates running for olliee this year
except on platforms that affirm tiie
declaration made by tiie national
convention at St. Louis. Even in
the hearts of the silver country, re
publicans have boldly had the cour
age of their convictions and refused
to bid for the cheap money vote by
quibbling on the question of the
standard. The outcome is sure to
»
redound to the benefit of the party
and no one need be surprised to see
most of tiie mountain states follow
the lead of Oregon into the republi
can column.-—Bee.

Is not a pass as much of a bribe
today as it was in 1891? In that
year the populists of Lincoln county
assisted to defeat their candidate for
couutv treasurer solely on the grounds
that he carried a Union Pacific pass.
If it was wicked for J. K. Stevens
to accept a pass, how much more so
for the populist state officials to ac
cept them. During twenty months
the railroads have issued to the pop
u.ist officials and their deputies pass
es valued at 110,550. Don’t you
suppose the railroads are getting
something in return?—North Platte
