Watch the political curves of the
Litchfield Monitor. It seems to be
playing its readers for a lot of suck
ers. Its influence however is no
longer felt.
The yehow Journals of today are
a pei feet reproduction of the cop
perhead papers published during the
civil war. You old timers who still
remember their treasonable editor
ials compare them with the Sherman
County Times and report your de
ductions.
That double barreled popgun over
the way weui o(f half cocked again
last week. When both editors gets
to work one can’t tell what will hap
pen. Of course we know you have
had the “Cream' of the farmers trade
and thrived upon it, but then there
wasn’t much credit connected with it.
Butterine, Oleomargerine. Yes
Phil Armour puts it up out of waste
tailow and lard, and sells it to the
state officials to feed the inmates of
our public institutions on and the
farmers butter goes begging. This
is no gag boys keep right on voting
the pop ticket “they don’t sup
port corporations.”
It is quite evident the pops have
again secured the support of the
Litchfield Monitor, and employed
Mr. St. John, a Kearney, pop to run
it. After the campaign is over and
that paper has secured all the popu
list patronage possible it might nat
urally be expected that the Monitor
will make another grand stand play
for republican patronage.
Does the Tim^-s know that the war
with Spain was carried on with cash
and not revenue stamps. Can’t that
sheet be honest about it and tell its
populist readers the truth. Could
the war have been run on revenue
stamps or don’t you know any better?
Of course the administration :;0u?d
^‘200,009,000 of bonds to carry on
a war with, that you Jeykel & Hyde
fellows done all in your power to
force McKinley into before the coun
try was ready and now he is collect
ing the mcney through the revenue
stamps to pay oir the bonds and not
one dollar of that two hundred mill
ion went into the fund known as the
reserve or surplus which is rapidly
accumulating under a wise adminis
tration,
A flashy headline in the Times last
week reads; “Bryans Regiment Sick
er.1' “Disease Ruining the Health
of our Nebraska Iloys."
Is our boys suffering any worse
than other troops? lias Bryan got
all the war glory he wants? If such
is the case let him resign. He laid
awake nights to figure out a scheme
for a millitary record, now let him
serve bis country as he claimed was
his only desire when he was forcing
the third regiment on to the admin
istration, or acknowledge that be is
u sycophant of the first water. Gov
ernor Holcomb hasn't went to Wash
ington to plead for Colonel Vif
quaiues release has ho? Why should
Hryau be released and other men kept
when hi* country needs hi* service?
Why should he seek to abandon
that which he worked so hard to get
into? If theie is a in«n of that kind
in the republican party show him to
us till we advertise him Should a
patriotic American be ashamed of
such chicanery? Is that the kind of
material to make presidents om of?
All populists are you proud of such
leaders? Are they the men you rely
on to lead you to the promise land?
Be honest gentlemen, your country,
your homes and your descendants
cry for calm judgment and you cant
afford to deceive yourself.
It has come to out ears that
because we did not notice the long
winded article in the Times written
by the “President” in answer to the
remarks we made about the manage
ment of the lair association, that we
huve dropped it like a hot potato.
There were two or three reasons why
we declined to notice it,. One was
that the “President was evidently
ashamed to sign his name, and an
other was that he either did’nt know
enough to publish his answer in the
same paper so that it could be read
by the same people or he studiously
sought to avoid identity by address
ing a different set of people and pos
ing under a jug handle name. lie
said that he solicited the support of
the stock holders simply because ho
thought they should take hold and
help, but he never appoligized for
accusing them of “sitting idly by
and growling about no interest being
taken" or explain why it was that
he waited until the fair was nearly
on before lie solicited their support.
“Prisldent” W. Ft. Mellor may be
smooth enough to run a church
choir but is a failure when it comes
to running a county fair—or to run
out a preacher.
The Tibbies letter as published
last week in the “Reform” papers
throughout the state is a fabrication
of falshood that isso easily run down
that one would think the papers pub
lishing it would hesitate to plauc
themselves in so vulnerable a posi
tion. As to the first great falsehood,
that the republican papers through
out this state are receiving their
ready print free of charge, it being
paid for by “boodle republicans,”
we ask that all who believe this will
call at this office and examine the
receipted lulls from the Western
Newspaper Union of Omaha, for
ready prints received by us during
the year, and for which we paid our
hard came] cash. We will gladly
exhibit them and show you that Tib
bies lied and of course the Times
man being acquainted with our trans
actions during the year could not
have been in ignorance of it.
Now as to the condition of our
state banks, we find that the state
bank examiner reported to the state
banking board that there was de
mand liabilities in the state banks
to the amount of $53,095,75:1 and
cash on hand was $5,710,880. The
populist banking law demands that
they keep twofifths of fifteen per
ceut of their deposits in their vaults
at all times and the balance of the
15 percent can beat their centers of
exchange in the cities where our

local hanks must have it on deposit
or they could not issue drafts to
their patrons at home, therefore tire
money would be out of the hands of
the local banker yei they have it safe.
But the wilev populists grasp)
this as an opportunity to deceive
their readers by telling them that
about one-tenth of the deposits was
all the Bankers had left and leave
the idea that the balance was scpian
I dered when the facts are. no small
bank can safely keep their money on
hand if they wanted to but must ecnd
it east to the money centers for sufe
keeping and as a convenience of ex
change.
This is their Law and their Funer
al. If their examiner has found
such a rot ton state of affairs among
our banks as they wish their readers
to believe, when he reported it to the
State Blinking Board why did not
that honorable body order those in
solvent banks closed, and if they
failed to do so whose fault was it.
If that is the kind of officers the pop
ulists have furnished this state had
not we better have a change. This
is your affair populists what do you
think about it,? and it is ouly a fair
sample of their entire political pub
