LINCOLN July 7.—To the Ed
itor of The Slate Journal: I see by
your paper this morning that the
candidate for vice president on the
ticket and platform of the party
that claims to have a monopoly on
the idea of liberty for the individual
will arrive iu our city some time t< -
day. This brings to my mind very
forcibly an incident that cccured
during tbe war for liberty, in which
this gentleman took part. My father
was with his men down south de
fending the stars and stripes aDd
trying to perpetuate liberty instead
of slavery to the individual, and was
taken sick, and iu order to save his
life it was thought best to send him
^ home to regain his health, it being
at a critical period, when every man
was needed at the’ front who could
carry u gun. They sent a colored
boy along to wait on him anil carry
him from car to car, as he was help
less from his long sickness. Two
months after his arrival home when
just able to wa'k around the yard a
little, one morning when he got up
the Bheritf aud two deputies were
waiting out in tbe door yard to ar
rest him for having brought a color
ed mm into the great state of Illi
nois. The district attorney, a Jem
ocrat, was so disgusted with the act
that he had urgent business somt
where else, and this gentleman of
liberty-loving fame for the poor
black mau of the Philippines very
gladly stepped forward and volun
teered his legal ability to prosecute
that soldier for having permitted
this colored boy to bring him home.
Not another lawyer in all that greut
county of Woodford would even as
sist in such a dastardly assault on
one of (he defenders of the stars and
stripes. The jury disagreed and the
circuit judge, himself a democrat,
said it was an outrage. And now
we have this same man asking old
soldier* to vote for him. Can you
do it?—J. F. Jknkinh.
Democratic doctrine seems to be
the persouidcalioo of the Declara
tion of ludedendeoee and the Con
stitution just U'tw, if you hear them
tell it. In HI they took up arms to
destroy both. Kioto Jefferson tc
Hir'bausu not a Democratic presi
dent ever dare promulgate l%e idea
of inherent rights of all men to life
liberty and the permit of happiness,
for that party was making a part iff
the human race chattels to be bought
and aoid. Hut now the mau that
shouldered a musket and went forth
to protect the c institution wtieu t! e

Nebraska From I union Vices Which
Threaten Her I'ulillc Institutions#
Appreciating the potency of an edu
cational campaign, nnd imposing con
fidence In the sagacity and intelligence
of the electorate of Nebraska, tlio re
publicans have opened up headquarters
at the Her Grand, in Ornana, and are
preparing to conduct a vigorous cam
paign along tills line.
i he campaign in Nebraska will lie
directly in charge of H. C. Lindsay,
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, and he will be ably assisted
by competent men at tlio head of tne
various departments who will devote
ali their time and energy to reclaiming
Nebraska from fusion mismanage
rifint.
McKinley.
Looking out upon a peaceful sea at
prosperity bequeathed to them by the
statesmanship of .McKinley it was in
keeping with good Judgment and sound
reasoning for the republicans in na
tional convention assembled to attest
their appreciation and gratitude by
unanimously choosing William McKin
ley for their presidential candidate.
In the four years he had been at the
helm of state he had not only banished
distress from the doorway of millions
of American homes, but he had gone
forth to a struggling people of unhappy
islands and torn from their limbs the
chains of servitude and silenced for
ever the sovereignty over them of one
of the most merciless monarchies
known to modern history.
Tli#* Vice l*r efficiency.
Mindful of the Importance of positive
and experienced statesmanship, the re
publicans placed, ns second on the
ticket, that sturdy compatriot Theo
dore Roosevelt. There are few names
In American politics better known than
this, and none more symbolic of hon
esty, fidelity and intellectual and moral
qualities. Roosevelt has won his po
sition In popular confidence in the
open forum, where as soldier and civil
ian he has exhibited such qualities as
are found only In the most unsullied
type of American citizenship. A man
of lofty patriotism, broad and progres
sive ideas, schooled In the science of
government, he is p. strong companion
piece to McKinley and his candidacy
bears with it an assurance of honesty,
patriotism, care and circumspection
in the administration of public af
fairs. Roosevelt may justly he
claimed by the west as its repre
sentative, for, though a resident of
New York, he has for many years been
Interested in the stock Industry in the
Dakota^ and has spent much of his
time on the frontier. No man in public
life Is more mindful of his duties.
Whether his task be 1o stand between
the people and rapacity, or to lead a
column of soldiers against a death
dealing storm of shot and shell In the
cause of humanity, as he did at San
Juan hill, It is all the same. Man
hood Is there and it asserts itself.
McKinley and Roosevelt—both men
of splendid type. Both possessing a
judgment that is profound. Both stand
for conservatism in public affairs—for
Deace at all times when war can be
avoided without dishonor and consist
ent with the decrees and obligations
of humanity. They are opposed to
militarism, and they both are opposed
to a large standing army. War has
only been accepted as an inevitable
and unavoidable obligvHlon. They and
the republican party favor the main
tenance of only such a standing army
as will suffice as a nucleus in the event
of foreign complications and as is suffi
cient to maintain law and order at
home. The object of the American peo
ple as typified and set forth In the re
publican parly is, not to subject dis
putes to the cruel arbitrament of war,
but to settle all disputes at home and
abroad without resort to force. No na
tion was mare ably represented nor
more outspoken in favor of peaceful
arbitration In the settlement of Inter
national controversies at The Hague
peace conference than the Units 1
States, and the representatives of the
United Htates in that conference hOre
tlielr commissions from William Mc
Kinley. Had he favored military rule
as u function of government It la not
likely, in ^.conference held to suppress
military idb*. he would commission
some of the ablest men In the nation
whose proto it* against military adju
dication were so forceful and brilliant
as to electrify the world At this con
ference the l ulled States look Hu lead
in favor of universal disarmament, and
In this the commissioner* front the
United States voiced, not alone the sen
timent of President McKinley, but the
recorded sentiment *f the republican

that If McKinley was elected, farm
products would decline in value. On
the contrary they have advanced.
He said tho adoption of a gold stand
ard would precipitate a slavery of the
masses. On tho Contrary, It has re
sulted in better wages, more money and
general prosperity. He said through
the froo coinage of silver alone could
prosperity come. Free coinage was
defeated along with Bryan anti such
prosperity as this country has never be
fore known now prevails.
But Nebraska, though swept by ad
versity from end to end under a dem
ocratic administration, whic h, barring
the silver proposition, was a reminder
of what Bryan’s election meant, gave
Its vote to Bryan. What will it do this
year? Will it still believe in a prophet
who has fallen and in prophesies which
when now held up before the lamp of
Intelligence and experience appear ri
diculous? Will it turn iis back to the
advance agent of prosperity and its
face to the advance agent of the silver
or bullion trust? Will it still insist
on the government making it so thpt
the man who produces silver bullion
can have its value increased 100 per
rent, so that he inay trade 50 cents
worth of silver bullion for a dollar's
worth of wheat, or corn, or labor, or,
will It he loyal to Itself and insist on
getting 50 cents worth of silver or 60
cents worth of gold for 50 cents worth
of wheat, corn or labor?
Ollctc wlu C«inc«rn»cl.
And Nebraska is otherwise con
cerned than in the ultimate triumph
of the national republican ticket. The
success of the congressional and state
tickets are of the highest Importance.
The re-election of Congressmen
Burkett and Mercer should by no
means fail. Botli have rendered splen
did service. Congressman Burkett
has, during his term, secured the al
lowance of 342 pensions, mostly for
veterans of the civil war. He has
been, like Mercer, a strong advocate
of the rural mail service, and has
succeeded in establishing three of
these routes in his district, with more
to follow. He has also succeeded in
having several additional postoflices
established. Though not on the com
mittee, he was successful in securing
an appropriation of $250,000,000 for
improvements along the Missouri
river, especial provisions being made
for itnprot aments at ltulo and Ne
braska City.
congressman Mercer was ''muwij
successful In securing appropriations
and concessions vastly beneficial to
tho state. He is a firm advocate of
equitable pensions, and lias gladdened
many a home In IPs district by suc
cess in securing the allowance of a
pension claim. Congressman Mercer
strongly champions the rural
mail delivery system and has done
much to encourage it. Much credit is
due him for the Missouri river appro
priation.
In the other districts the republi
cans have chosen their candidates for
congress f.’om among the very best
and ablest men in the party. Every
one of these stands 1n strict accord
with tho administration, and their
election means support to republican
ism as typified in President McKinley.
It should require hut little mental
energy to determine the importance
of supplanting fusion congressman
with these.
I union Minin ICftfortn.
Fusion management is n stench In
the nostrils of the people of Nebraska.
Governor poynter's administration has
made it so. Never before in the his
tory of the state has there been such
an exhibition of utter incompetency
and political depravity. Never be
fore have, the Interests of the people
anil of the state been so openly dis
regarded and trampled upon. Thero
is not a state institution that Is not
blighted by dishonesty or cursed by
Incompetency. Tho public patronage;
has been divided up as spoils among]
the politicians, and they In turn have
their care. Nebraska under tho ad
looted the treasury, and, in most in
stances, wrecked the institutions under
ministration of Governor Poynter has
paid a terrible tribute to ignorance
and incompetency. This applies no
more to Poynter than to the rest of
the state officials, particularly to the
Attorney General's department, where
the people have been treated to an |
exhibition of tom tom heating that!
would startle the Chinese.
1 lie nckei.
In nominating n state ticket the re
publican*. having in miml the evils
of the’ fusion administration, and tlio
necessity of selecting honest and cap
able men, nominated a ticket com- j
posed of the strongest material In the
party. It headed the ticket with C
H. Dietrich for Governor, a man of |
wide business experience and splendid
judgment. In business and social af- ,
fairs Mr. Dietrich commands the re-:
spect and esteem of all. He is not a
politician, in the general acceptation
of that term, but Is a citizen who rec
ognizes the right of the people to i
summon him to duty, and a compliance
with that request is at the same time
an implied promise and assurance that
he will, if elected, perforin that duly i
fearlessly, honestly and conscientious
ly. The «lei tUm of Mr. Dietrich will;
insure an economic, business-like ad
ministration, and would put the Insll
lutIons and the affairs of th» slate
In the hands of a man who Is noted
for Ills honesty uud shrewd business
sagacity.
