Political lake In Omnliti Paper K«|Hiillat«Ml at Home The people of Kearney, in the fol lowing dispatch, resents the false •tatements made by the fusion speak era regarding the operations of tin* manufacturing industries of that city. It will he remembered that tie man Campbell, Supt., of the re form school at Kearney, while here Yhst Saturday evening repeated the statements made by that outfit, that the trusts had their death grip on these industries: Head the following. KE.AKNKY, Neb., Oct. 23. (Spe cial)—The Omaha World Herald re cently printed an article pertaining to the demoralization of Kearney by the trusts. The article dwells upon the sad fate of Kearney and tells at great length of the demoralization of the city’s industries by the giant oclopi, the trusts. The paper said that the paper, cracKer, plow factor ies. cereal, cotlou and woolen mills, electrical supply works and packing houses in Kearney had beeu ruined. Most of these enterprises were built on wind and Kearney subsidy dur ing the palmy and boom days of the city. The plow factory was a scheme realized iu a phantom brain. There never was a cereal mill iu Kearney. The Kearney woolen mill was con tained in a small wooden house and never operated because the proprie tor had no money. The packing house was destsoyed by lire; the electrical supply house had no money nor supplies and it quit business for tile reason that the house had no lield to operate in aud for financial reasons. The article said the bicy cle factory had been ruined by the trusts. The proprietors of the bicy cle factor} saw a better location iD the city of Denver and moved there. The article further stated that the cotton mill run spasmodically owing to the trusts. The truth of the mat ter is the mills have been idle oul} six months during the six years of its ex.stance. Three months of t tat lime was occasioned by’ short age of water. In oue instance, the cracker factory, was built to be sold out. The people of Kearney are in dignant about the article and people of all political beliefs denounce the article as absolutely false, and at the coming election there will be a good indication that they have read and pondered well. The Kearney Daily Hub has called the attention of W. 1).

WIIY I .1)1 A It Ed' 11LI CAN To The Kihioim Noktuwkstkrn: Loup City Neb, Oct. U8, l'.'UU. Sirs: It has beeD spread around the corners and by ways iu church and on the streets that I am not a lle publicsn. Those self appointed judges will look at each other with that cute wink and knowing smile, twist their whiskers and say: ‘‘lie will vote for Bryan." To all those 1 gay I will not. 1 have voted the democratic ticket lor 22 years: 1 'cit ed for Bryan 4 years ago, I had it barf in my head but none in my pccket, (Silver.) Why am l a Rep ublicuu? Bryan, I years ago, pre dicted dire disaster in every form if free silver coinage was defeated and I believed him, 1 thought lie spoke the truth: I have not seen nor heard of that disaster. I believed in Bry an as father Tom believed in father Murphy, father Tom almost threw Ins arms around father Murphy and seemed as if to say. Father help me 1 know not what to do. Another reason why I am a Republican, simp ly because 1 have found u inarki t for my labor. I don't believe in im perialism, no Kcpublicau does, 1 be lieve in expansion, every Republi can does, and 1 believe there will lit* enough democrats who think us I do to elect McKinley this fall. They talk about strikes, when strikes are in existence where cun you find a soup house? I might go on and give many more reasons why i will vote the Republican ticket, and even man with a family should vote it, but I will stop at this for the present. Messrs editors, the principal reason for my addressing you is this, 1 w,is honored lust spring with the elmii mtinship of Sherman county s eon gressional delegation by the Repub licans and as 1 cannot see ail tliede legates who attended the Republican county convention which elected me, 1 take this method of controdicling all the false reports that have been circulated about mo in regard to my politics —Vours for McKinley.

COM UNICATION HCOM II \Z ll KoiToltS NotlTIIWESTKIlX Notices of-a great Peoples Fatly rally at school house No ao, on Fry ' reek, were strewn along the road side and left to be blown over the prairie an nouncing that Senator ,J. 10 Miller, Hepresentalive Va idegrift and Coun ty attorney Nightingale would ad dress the people on this great occa sion. When the time arrived only two of the speakers presented them selves at the school house. This trio, so rumored, had come by way of Haver,na, anil the representative had taken refuge in a house near the meeting place as like I>r. Ilombook s patient, lie “bad ta’en the balls or some curuiuring in his guts, and one of the boys reported that he had tak* ti nearly a barrel of hot water and was getting better. When the meeting was called to order a large uud respectable audience nad assim bled, consisting of one large demo crat aud one respectable populist and about half dozen kids not old enough to vote. The senator led off by send ing for a bucket of water, remarking in an appologeticai way, that he whs very dry and he nearly drained the bucket during his speech, branching ort on a new subject at every drink amt leaving the old one just where lie goi dry Finally he came to a dead stand still by announcing that next day was Sunday and as lie was a Sunday school superintendent, lie would not neglect his charge tor a political talk and would save some of Ins wind for next day, and yield i-d the floor to the county attorney, who in turn said that, os Mr. Miller had explained the whole tiling, and gone into every corner ao completely itut it left him nothing to s.i\ Hall of the meeting, (tie large democrat, by this 'line had gone to sleep and i and one of the boys waked hint up with a paper wad, 11 v this lime the (\,, h■ t* rni y trot tti light < I < dory ■ a pie!lire lie Irnl si eh whet) a buy of t king who r "»i- ft•- * iH • ( . . . i • I I 't» »* > • : I* II ■ *» i . .. • * -1 11 fU il-il • l .illl.It l» lb.i' lllfi *1**1 l'i I4.I1.1 |i in i| >. • ' * S'* * - |l **M* | illttu 4>.

Statement* Pnneernlng the Poynter Ail iniiiivt rat ion That Are of Keen lu tereet to Tax Payer*. Omnlm, Oct. 2l*. Dr. B. F. Fan?, who 1ms just retiml from the super liitendeiiey of the Home for the Feeble Mim lei I Youth at Beatrice, Is among those of the fusion faith who openly declare that I’oynter i.- unlit for gov ernor and should lie defeated. Speak In? on this subject yesterday Hi*. Lang said: “From th.e very commencement Governor Po.vntor has been dominated by the politicians. They have dic tated many of Ids appointments to places in the various state Institutions ami the result Is that there is scarcely an Institution that lias not suffered more or less from this source, out at Beatrice, a man who had been booked for an ordinary position, such as dep uty oil Inspector, or the like, was transferred to the Institution as book keeper and steward without any con sideration ns to his 11 un 11 Ileal Ions. “The different Institutions today are supplied with that class of employes, in some instances three or four of one family are holding down positions without any ipialifleation whatsoever. There are any number of people hold ing positions in the state institutions who ore notoriously unlilted for pub lic duty. The fault is not with the superintendents of these institution'*, but \lith Governor Boy lit or, who bus permitted ring leaders of the fusion party to dletale to him who should bo appointed. N'i hotter example can lie cited of (lie imposition of obliging the superintendent to accept employes who are Incompetent and unlit than that of a Mrs, Thomas, mother if Oil In spector Hpivehor, who is now holding the position of matron at. the Iteat rice institute. I make tills statement without any ipialllication, that she has no merit either physically or mentally to recommend her to such a position, I refer to tills ease simply to show to what extent Governor I’oynter lias abused the appointive power. There are many other eases like it. Mrs. Thomas, ever since she has been ma tron, lias refused to perform the duties Incident to the position and has per sisted in drawing her salary from the state without rendering corresponding service. She has kept her daughter with her at the state's expense ever slime has been at Ilea trice. Indeed, it seems to he unite the common thing since Governor I’oynter assumed office for Ids appointee in gather their relatives around them and feed and shelter them at the state's expense. I know of one of ids appointees nt Ilea trice who lived at the state institute w KIi a family of s'x. all of whom were pro vided with bed and bonrd at the ex pense of the tax payers. All this conies from the weakness of Governor l’oynter. He larks the courage to stand out against the unreasonable de mand of the politicians and their po litical friends. The terrorizing Influ ence of these political pie-hunters seem to have originated more among the Democratic end of the fusion party than any other. In fact, many inter esting letters may be found among the governor's correspondence showing his weakness in being unable to with stand the pollticiil pressure iiroiigut to r upon him, nn example of which is n letter from the Democratic chairman of York cou-'ty, who. In asking recog nition, stated that lie had lieen aide in the pnst to turn down many of the fusion lenders, among them the ITon. Edward ltates, former district judge, and others of that political faith, and lie was ready now to lay Dr. Dang on the shelf and even his excellency, if if need 1m*. to have the recognition he asked. The letter had tin* desired of. feet, obliging the governor to make way for one of the employes who had been discharged for disloyalty and In eouipetency, the same being a brother or the York county man. Another ex ample of the hold up ill York county is that of the Cochran family who have boon nursed nt public exia nse for sev eral years cud who still use their In fluence to enforce recognition. Out side of this family the Populists today in York county are utterly Ignored. •There Is uo reason to hope for any Improvement or change In conditions under Oovernor Poytiler. I know whereof I speak when I «a.v that at this very time, in his efforts to obtain MUp|Mirt. be is peddling out prom!** s of appointment Indiscriminately and lie will either have to violate hD word 1 or ht*ep faith at the cost of crippling I and Impairing tli service wore than ! ever.

I remember at one time that n large amount of grocer ins and provisions were shipped to tin* institute at Beatrice from Lincoln without ever having been ordered by any one in authority. The first I knew that such n shipment had been made w. - when I received notice from the railroad company that there was a 11 .aslunnient of goods for the Institute nt the depot.
