Now brother Brown how is it u bout “fooling all of the people some of the time.” You know, “every tlog has Iiim(” etc. etc. Say biotber Brown, it will take more than the failure of a potato crop to enable you to see a majority for Bryan this year. The triumphant jells for Boosevlt never ceased until be crossed the Missouri river and Bryan will irn magin on election day that the votes are as numerous as the yells. If you waut a piece of work done you want it done right, it you hire a school teacher you ask about his certificate. Bo you waut the most capable men in olllce? if you do vote for \V H. Williams, frr countv attorney. Information from Ansley, Custer County, is to the effect Hint a Me Kinley club has been organized there with a trifle over a hundred members and that 611 of them voted for Bryan in 'ills. Get into the bond wagon boys , and don't get ieft. The pop and demo pop papers don't make much ado about the de ductions from McKinley. The World Herald announces with much gusto that General Lew Wallace was out for Bryan, but as soon as the Gener al got on the stump lie reminded the W -H. that it had lied again. But then that paper is used to having to swallow most of its assertions. The time has come when the fus lonists must acknowledge that they are democrats or go out of business. Will Nebraska link herself up with this old free trade party? Will Sherman comity stand by the men you all say have decieved you? Wre don't believe it. \ oters look to your interest aud vote for Smelstr mid OJendyk. Mr. William* i* unquestionably the most aourate, best posted and careful lawjer in Sherman county and should lie elected coun ty attorney for hi* unswerving honesty and emphatic capability, 111* iulvi e i sought after and never questioned win n given, and party lines con not be urged with profit «ben the people have men like W, II.

III I get le'll gilMS* * adjusted brother lltuss The Times, last week slid that if Mr \S II Wiliams is entitled in the soldier vote on are Min' <>f hi, war record, that fusion ex -enator ' Miller is also. Well, there are r'ji ; ona why we take exceptions i>» this j and at present they are obvious. 1 Mr. Williams lias a record that he can well be proud of and be is not ashamed to have it published. When he requested to be allow ed to retire from the service after nearly live \ears of faithful wotk his superiors ask him to continue at least another six months of the service, showing that lie was a man whom they could illy afford to lose, in itiating that such men its Mr. Williams was not found even day. and then breveted him to a maj tr as a slight reward for bis loyalty, patriotism and faithful attention to duty. Today we linn him still standing by the Hag. still us faithful to American) principles as ever, still the same honest, acurate and pains taking servant of the people, with out a suspUaion of disloyalty about him. How is it about Mr. Miller? If he has a war record we have not heard of it before, but il is a no torious fact that he is now and has been working baud in hand with the men and party who lov> s to disgrace and belittle the defenders of our nation and flag. He is uiiling and abetting the man who called the soldiers of our present trouble, tl5 a month hirelings, therefore has for feited any claim upon a soldier vole, and when he forfeits the soldier vote the n.en who we must thank for the high standing of our nation to-day, should that not be still! ient grounds for every citi/.er. to vote against him. livery voter should extend Ins ap preciation of an old soldiers service try voting for him if In* still merits their respect. Therefore Mr. Wil liams should receive the undivided support of Sherman county’s people for county attorney, but Mr. Miller seems to have gone off with the party that said the war for the pres ervation d the I'nion was a failuie. Vote for Williams and be sure you liavs east your vole tight, then chinch it b, voting f <r Ujendvk and hmelsi.r.

It i< ohser <1 that the fuslonlists ore not enthusing very much over tbivernor I’oyiiter, E ; c (ially is this true of the ItiHrc-s men ill the towns t. here state institutions are located. The tuereh. dt in these towns have had am thing but a plcngnut • ctH-e tinder the Eoyiiter ndmintstru tIon. Trade and patronage of the In* •dilutions. which slum 1 properly go l<» them, has been gradually diverted to pets and favorites o! the Mute hotlse ring at Lincoln, until finally lutle of It goes to the local merchants. Tons of groceries and supplies have heeii shipped from Lincoln to the various Institutions during the lust year and only such trade hits been allotted to the local business men as could not well lie diverted to Lincoln. Then, too, the administration "ilx ers” have been very exacting In deal ing with the local merchant and very liberal in dealing with their favorites at Lincoln. If they treated them both alike there would be less cause for complaint, but the contracts are jug gled In such a way that If a local mer chant secures one ho Is compelled to furnish goods at almost cost price, whereas the Lincoln dealers are al lowed to make one bid on all the sup plies and in addition tire given other advantages denied to others. Every body knows that bids on a dozen or more contracts at the same time, meaning the supplying of goods In car load lots, can he made at n lower rate than for only one contract Involving only the supplies for one Institution. Tills Is one advantage. HOI,DIMS n» VOUt’HEnH. Another advantage shown ttie Lin coln den tern over the country mer chants Is the bolding back of voucher* and warrants. Jt Is a notorious fact that hills for groceries from the coun try merchants lay sometime# for weeks before they are passed upon and allowed, while those of the favorites are promptly paid. In the mermutUa trade Jo or tXl days' credit t§ the sum* as cash and if merchants succeed in converting their good# Into money within that time they are enabled to make considerable of a saving in the way of discounts. In many instances the country merchants have lost the benefit of their discounts through the failure of the Hoard to pass upon hills and remit promptly. It is openly isted that this failure Is only part m a plan to de ■ 'mirage the local moiehniit* In the- ■ ■ towns from bidding, In older that the pets of the state liou e ring may enjoy greater profits. Some tnuy Infer from this that Hie state is deriving heiioflt from such ijiriiilpilliifli.il- This is not trie The records lit the auditor^. office show that the expense of maintaining the state Institutions the* hist: two years has been greatly lucrcused over what It was, and Is greater now Ihtin at any time tyi the state's history. tfovernor 1’oynter will close hi* term with tlu enormous shortage or defic iency of $100,000. Not one of the var ious Institutions lias been properly kept up. The grounds, out buildings and the like have been sadly neglected. Not a dollar has gone for labor In tills direction. All the money appro priated litis been expended, but how. nothing short of a legislative Investi gating committee can explain. Dr. Tracy of Milford, tin* physician in charge of the Soldier’s Home, who was caught paying house rent and of flee rent in groceries taken from the state, lias resigned and left the Htute. Ills resignation promptly followed the exposure. ruAWFisiriNO <>n expansion. It Is a matter of history that nearly every Pomoeratle president from Jef ferson to Itm hanan expressed a desire for the annexation of Cuba to the Plited States Monroe while president expressed himself in favor of annexing Cuba, so did Polk and so did Pierce.

(tn this |*i|nt Mr. Mnret who was seeretarv of state in I’it ii cabinet, wrote tile following note Minister tti*i*gg: ‘"i’li government will receive the transfer of the sovereignty of the Sami' I, islands with all proper pro vision relative to existing rights of the p .pie thereof, stteh ns are usual and | "per to territorial sovereignty. I he j "-ideal directs me to say that lie em not approve of some of the arti cles i the treaty; there are hi Ids mind aiie strong objections to the 1m media* incorporation of the islands In their i resent condition into the union us a i independent state. It was ex peeled that tin* Hawaiian government would lie willing io offer the islands lo Ha I nited States as a territory and i- vo tin* (piestloii in relation to their i - coming a state to the determi nation of this government, uiienibar rassed |»y stipulations on Unit point." It \ ill be seen by tills tlmt through out its history the Democratic parly has favored expansion. It will also ho observed that in all their messages and eorre-1inudeucc bearing on the aeipilsi tion ot territory no reference Is made to “tie consent of the governed." Jef ferson, folk, Fierce, 1 lue11a11an, in fact all tin great minds of the Democratic party have favored expansion, some of them going so far as to advocate the aetjul itton of Island territory by force. t'oinpured with this the splendid rec ord oi the Itepuhllean party, and par tieuiurly of the McKinley administra tion, stands out in hold relief. CZAU TIIKN I’AT It I OT NOW. According to Democratic doctrine In 1804 Lincoln was a e/.ar, Now la* Is a patriot. In |Hij|, when Lincoln was a candidate for re election, the same hue and cry about “Imperialism" was raised by the Democrats. The Indian apolis Journal, a Democratic organ, at thnt tltac said: “The only hope of preserving consti tutional liberty, the rights of I lie-state# oud n-storlng peace to the union Is in the restoration of the Democratic party to power. Hut let Abraham Lincoln bo elected for another term, wlmt will be the i aseiiueiice? Four years more of abolition, nntlnnrtl bankruptcy and Ku ropeati interference. Shall we prollt by tin* teachings of history, and even by our own experience, or continue the policy that must end In the overthrow of one of the best governments the World ever saw?” .Til'd before tin* election In 1NI14 tin* saint paper bad another “nightmare," one of the Itr.vnn order, and It said: “Klnntld Mr. Lincoln tie I'e-eleeled the revolution will Is* accomplished. This witl be Hi longer a republic of the Felted Ktatos. but a consolidated em pire. Lvcry safeguard must sooner or later pi' e nvvny. Tin* limitation of the exci-utIve power will not be In flu* pleasure of the president. We Implore patriotic and Intelligent men to pause and r< Ib-ct and give their verdict Tues day next. If the people will not save their constitution and union It Is lost.” The foregoing Is the same sort of Itemoeratie rot that llryan Is making use of today. The only difference Is that the man who was pointed out as a despot then is treated as a patriot now. Like Lincoln, thirty six years from now, if the Populists and tin* I lemofFats in their rapacity for proven in r shall not have eaten each other up, tin* Democratic doetrinnrles will be 'Hinting from McKinley and holding Mm up as the Ideal statesman and patriot. Thirty six years Isn’t such a very long time, but It Is too long a time lor tin* people of a great and progres sive country to wait, when they can get what they want now. The Ameri can people have kept up wl. i the pro cession and if the Democratic party persists In staying thirty-six years be hind let it stay there. It will be observed, however, thnt I’.rynn's rant about imperialism is nothing new. The Democratic party was earplug about It before he learned to speak his own name. Lincoln was abused, and harsher things were snid of him than have ever been said of McKinley. The at tucks were wanton and cruel, and the recoil sent many au aspiring politician on the Democratic side Into obscurity and distrust forever. Itryuti Is playing upon the same harp today . It Is the Instrument ot a dema gogue and Its tunes arc as deceptive as the deadly nightshade. Hut the re coll—tin* pent up energy of outraged public opinion Is there, ami It will lilt llryan Just as sure and Juat as hard a* It has hit many a demagogue before him. and It will drive him Into obscur ity and dlstru-t Ju*t as It lota driven ethers vrlm hsve nudcrtaksii to pre eunte too far on puhlii Intelligence and - rrdultfr. 11 IP NOT AI'I'ITTKP Rryaa ha* in»t a* >»*t anlsiiowlrtlgati UhvIaf rerelvml tin |»u|ut|l«t nomlnl tt,,u fur j.rraihut Why hare ran not it n*1e tills aiklii.wl* Ijfftiiftit Mr Illy tin?
