Wc Baw Teddy and Teddy is all right. _ 0 Teddy wiih a rough rider but he don’t look it. Imperialism will be Bryan’s Wat erloo. He will Luzon that. Bryan rnen seem to be scarce or \ else they hate to mention his name. ^ When good holiest men are put up by both parties for candidates it is the duty of every voter to fight wrong principles. Hood men are liable to lie mistaken, therefore the voters, must in many cases, decide which to vote for by the experience learned from the different policies Tnd their effect upon the country in the past. Democratic doctrine has ever been ruinous to our commercial interests and death to our uinhitions as a nation, and this full the empty vuporiugs of the democrats and fusionisls, if heeded can but lead us to national disgrace. Four year ago Mr. Bryan was profuse in bis predictions of calamity in case of republican success. Has even one of bis prophecies been verified? Has not just the opposite proven the case and now can we look upon him or Iiih utterances as worthy of consid eration? Our only safety lies in trusting the party that has made ns great. We claim no infalibility for the republican party but it surely is the duty of every American citizen ^ to support the party that built up our nation in preference to the one whose every administration for the past sixty years has been as h blighting frost to our welfare. Vot ers can you support a man whose avowed policy is born of Democratic doctrine? Would you say Valaud ^ ingbam was right iu his endeavor to w disrupt our uniou? Cau you say Adlai Stevenseu was right wlien he gave aid and comfort to the confed eracy ? was Wilkes Itooth right when he struck down our immortal Lincoln? 4 or was W. J. Dry an right last .July when he attempted to excite treason in the breast of our people by saying that if the Republicans were again successful that we had seen the last of our beloved Fourth of July cede brationa? Who are those men aud who were they?

Dr;au Embrace* the Tammany Tiger and Uom Croker i* Winking the Other Eya. Omaha, Oct. 1.—Governor I’oynter ami the fusion newspapers, us well as ail of the fusion leaders, are painfully silent on the report that at the end of Pointer's term there will be a deficit or shortage in the public funds of no less tliuu #100,000. Their answer to tills is abuse of Re publicans. but abusing Republicans will hardly satisfy the tux payers, who will have to go into their pockets and pay the bills. The fusionists have boasted of the savings they have made in managing the state Institutions, Ilow does this compare with facts? Four years ago they pointed to the reduction In I lie amount asked of ami appropriated by the legislature. The result was that at the end of the first two years there was a deficiency ap proximating nearly $40,000. Two years ago they came to the legislature with a demand for more money tliun had ever before been required, with a lurge deficiency and any number of unpaid claims. The legislature two years ago, not only made a large de tlclency appropriation, but appropri ated more than $11,000,000 for the two years ending in 1001. All this has been squandered and it will require $loo, ooo more to pay unpaid hills ami labor claims. I’lie shortage in the penitentiary fund alone will amount to about $.40,• ooo. There are at least 11 Institutions that will come in witli shortages rang ing all the way from $.'1,000 to $10,000, ami'In some instances the amount will be even larger. Tills nmount milled to the amount ap propriated will run the expense of maintaining these institutions to a higher figure than has ever before been reac hed in the history of the state. These statements are based, not upon observation alone, but upon the show ing made* by the official records In the auditor's office ut Lincoln. It is useless, therefore*, for the fu sion leaders to deny them, for two rea sons: First, because they are abso lutely true and substantiated by the official records; and, secondly, because It Is only a few months until the* legis lature meets and then all tin* facts will have to conn* out. When the legisla ture meets and tin* various Institu tions make their wants known, when the request for a delicleney appropri ation of at least $100,000 Is made, as It surely will be, perhaps those who may doubt tin* truthfulness of the statements now will be fully con vinced of it then. SADLY INCOMPETENT. As an executive officer Governor Poynter Is notoriously incompetent. This fact so openly manifests Itself that It Is hardly necessary to call at tention to it. Aside from extrava gance, It Is a fact patent to everyone that in tin* exercise of executive au thority lie has been both weak and vacillating. Every time he has had occasion to exercise this prerogative he has evinced pitiable weakness. Ills at tention has been called to corruption and malfeasance on the part of some of his appointees, but in each Instance he has signally failed to apply the law ful remedy. The maimer in which he handled tire management of flic Insti tute for the Feeble Minded Youth at Beatrice har become almost a public scandal. His appointees have learned that, no matter how they may violate the law. all they have got to do to keep from being removed by the gov ernor is to show tight and he will weaken. This accounts for the con tinuous turmoil and clash between tile governor and his appointees ever since he assumed tin* executive chair. Such conditions as these must or ne cessity result in the demoralization of the public service. As the head of a family and as the head of a business establishment must, when the occasion requires, lie resolute, so, too, the head of a state government must be. Va cillation in auy position in life where business customs, where law or where organized society requires resolution, must ultimately lx- attended liy results Inimical to the Individual timl public alike. Nebraska is a large state with large business interests. The chief executive not only lias supervisory control over the expenditure of mil lion* of dollur* of the people's money, but he Is entrusted with the res|Min •dhiltty of executing nil Isws on the statute tlooks. The time may never come wlieu vacillation on the part of the executive might endanger life and property, thus (Ids. even In the best regulated coiutiiUiilUes, is a danger a! ways to Is* reckoned with lint the time Is always at hand. In the manage, incut of domestic affairs, when weak ness of this character me.ms corrup tion oti one ham! and Increased e\ |x use to tlie taxpayer* on the other That this dcdxietlott is logical Is |*Toxclt ht results attained under the Fuyntcr ndiniuwtt .it i-hi MIS lull IlStl F Vt’ l M It remained for Mi liryau to at tempi to make potitn t| capital out of the strike of w.liking men m the coal •s glon* l.xerx ti*>»lx i is* knows It to Is- a result “f i difference of opinion bet we* n tt*e employ* rs and their * to ptoXes not oxer a mbs Hon tlx wage*, but oxer at* In* re a sc in xtngew. .* qtn-s I ton xx tttx which (wilit ns tots to* thing to *l*i If Ms ltr> xn woubl only stop and think for n moment he would I readily realize the folly of hus dwdun-: th>us. tu the first plane workmen nan-1 not strike unless they are at work. In the second place a strike that is due to o demand for more wages simply means that times are good nml that: workmen want what they think Is their: share of prosperity. Then, too, on the subject of strikes Mr. Bryan ami his party should go a ' little slow. Under Democratic rule, from 1802 to lstMi, 2X2,000 laborers went on u strike against u reduction in wages. More than 300,000 were thrown out of employment without any wages through the operation of the Wilson law a Democratic free trade that closed more than half tin* facto ries In the United Staffs and was an Incumbrance on every industrial en terprise and domestic industry. It is well remembered that In the large cities free soup houses had to lie maintained to alleviate the suffering of the masses Many citizens of Ne braska will recall that in the city of Omaha a place known as I fescue hall, a large building on Douglas street, was maintained by charity and was eaeli day and night called upon to feed and shelter hundreds of Idle people from the storm and cold, all willing to work but none aide to tind employment. These were Democratic days. Bryan may have forgotten them, but there are thousands of others who were idle then nml are at work at: good wages now who have not and never will. The Impression made upon them was one they will ever remember. What Is true of Omaha is true of all the large cities, especially those cities whose* popula tion is largely employed in manufac turing industries and which felt the ftdl force of the terrible suffering and distress at that time. It will go into history that, under tin* McKinley administration not one of the 10,000,000 wage earners of this country went on a strike against a re duction In wages. There have been very few strikes in the last four years, and those that have occurred have been caused. If over a dispute about wages, not by a decrease, but as the result of a demand for an Increase, Mr. Bryan's solicitude for labor, while advocating free trade nml spu rious money both fatal to the welfare of the artisan- brings the sublime and the ridiculous into very close contact. CAVOUTINU WITH TAMMANY HALL. In a public speech Boss Croker of Tammany Hull stated that It is the Intcutioii of Tam many Hall to give Bryan on his forthcoming visit to New York “tin* greatest reception ever given a presidential candidate.’’ This Is n hig contract Tammany Hall has taken, lait It ought to be equal to the occasion. It lias stolen enough from the people of New York City In the many years it has had its tentacles fastened upon them to pay for most any tiling. At the end of its many years of existence it enjoys the unen viable distinction of being the most Iniquitous and corrupt organization of its kind tin* world has ever known. For years It has ls*en a mentor of pub lic thieves and a czar In New York polities. It lias existed on tin* spoils of office from the date of its birth. The story of the “Forty Thieves" is. with the exception of a numerical discrep ancy, u true history of Tammany Hull. Klchard Croker, chief of Tammany Hall, Is as Imperious In Democratic politics in the Empire State as the czar of Russia Is In the government of the Russian empire. His edict is law and liis command and orders are ns exact ing of obedience as any Imperial decree could possibly lie. When Tammany Hall speaks New York Democracy bends tlie knee. Bryan and Tammany Hall! \\ lint a theme fur contemplation out here In Nebraska! A nice picture. Isn’t it for “reformers” to look upon? The Tam many tiger snarled and snapped at Grover Cleveland because tb.it gentle man refused to be dictated to and in sisted, even In polities, on his rigid to choose Ids associates. Bui it has finally succeeded In luring tlie “boy ornior" into its den. Cleveland did u few tilings for which he deserves to lie remembered, and one of these was When Tammany Hall demanded as a price for its support ail the appointive offices in that state, when he boldly declared that “I'll he doubly damned if I'll do It.” Whether he meant that the public would so treat him or meant that he would not muke such a per sonal sacrifice lias never beet) ex plained. So it is today. If Tammany is for Bryan it ts simply a question of spoils. It exists on spoliation, It lives for it. It lias no o'hcr or higher object In |sd Itlcs. That has been Its price for sup port in the past and it Is its price now. It Is tmt consistent with historical facts to assume that the bargain lias been made. When Tammany shouts It Is when there Is plenty of provender tn eight plenty of hay In the manger But how will Mr Bryan’s Nebraska constituent* look at It? Will they make room III their affection for that hydra headed monster.
