The last week i f ihe campaign finds the republicans of the state well organized, and confident of vie toay. The one thing necessary now is recognized to be that all republi cans turn out on election day and do tneir duty. The state committee is gratified at the interest manifested, and has sent out cheering news to the local committeemen. In the meantime, it is learned that the fusion party is lacking in organi zation, as it is also lacking in legiti mate issues. Their camurign lias been of the Imp-hazard sort, urged on only by 'hirst for ollice on part of individuals, and enlivened by the agents of the orewery trust. The only semblance of detail organization is that of the saloon interests, which seem to have enveloped or displaced the state organizations of the fusion parties. This is significant of what maj be expected in ease the fusion ticket is elected. It is now certain that there is method in the attack of the brewery interests on Mickey. It is not so much that they are opposed to Mickey as it is that they are seizing ^ the excuse to wage a fight which may give their friends control of the state departments, and possibly of the legislature. Tne state is to be met with a demand, this winter, for sweeping changes in the Slocum law. Id case the saloon interests are suc cessful in gaining control, it is learned that they will even demand the appeal of the liquor law which has been cn the statute books so many years. This is a condition which will open the eye9 of the voters of the state. It is not only an attack on a good citizen, but it is a covert attack on existing laws. The exposure of W. H. Thompson and his railroad passes has created somewhat of a sensation here, and has tilled the populists with conster nation. Some of them actually be lieved that their candidate was an anti-corporation man. They had beard with much pleasure the news that he was not a railroad lawyer,— that he did no legal business for the companies. Now it develops that he has been in the political employ of all the principal companies for years, and that his pockets are full of passes, and the proof of his false ^ pretense of anti-monopoly ism has given- bis candidacy a decided set back. The exposure is a good joke on the pretender, and has disgusted many of his followers. Last year there were in the state about 00,000 voters who din not go to the polls. It is believed that the turn out this year will be larger, al though the season is backward, and many farmers are in their cornfields, or aro engaged in threshing out their small grain. The feeling is abroad that a vote this year for the republi can ticket means a vote to sustain Roosevelt and his splendid policies, and for that reason the farmers will: bo more ready than ever to sacrifice the hour or so necessary to cast their votes. With Roosevelt aud Pros perity the issue there is little doubt that all good citizens will do their duty on election day. The publishing of an affidavit by 15. T. Snyder against J &■ I’edh r. in the last issue of the Times, shows to what desperate .straights the oppo sition is resorting in order to catch votes. The scheme is far fetched. ■ t md:u k>> ■ i min h of uu old per 11 ‘I "I'uvjleof long ago. Everv ' lr, Pedler in a sosre, because Snyder had discovi red the clerical error in tbe note and Mr. Pedler had not. Snyder bought the horses. I hey were delivered to him aud he should have mentioned the fact that the note was made payable to Snyder instead of Slote Bros, and McOstrich. He claims to have discovered it at the time. If so that was the time wln n honesty should have asserted itself, instead of ouuniugly letting it go on and trying afterwards to get Mr, Pedler into a snare. The imperialistic tendency of the republican administration at Wash ington is again shown in the order just issued by the war department reducing tbe strength of the army to 56,600, or tbe minimum prescribed by law. Another of the things that Bryan ar.d the anti-imperialists large and i.mall, and the timid people who shudder at the thought of a uniform, foresaw and viewed with alarm was the system of militarism growing up under the frowning hulk ot imperial ism begun and fostered by the Mc Kinley administration. Like the rest of the “scares” that were sown to tlie wiuds by Bry .i and caught up on the various currents of Bryan ism throughout the country, mili tarism lias evaporated completely.— ■ Kearney Hub. . The democrats now see their mis ake in starting a hitler fight against Mr. Mickey, charging that he is a otal abstainer and a methodist. Both i f th« se qualifications are the best that a ^uiu can possibly have, o elevate him high in the position )f life. Only a part of the saloon dement has seen fit to look with dis favor upon hie candidacy, while the More conservative and better thinli ng element and the great mass of people at large credit him with honor and uprightness Ves, the demo •rats now see their mistake and have ■eased to prefer further charges, rtiev have had a good sitting down on The Times has had scarcely a good word to say for K. H. Kittell since lhe campaign opened, but has seem ngly sacrificed the representative ticket in its great effort for the office jf county attorney, and by so doing las devoted a great deal of space to me abuse ef J. S. Pedler. Its last two issues have been shamefully full of personal abuse. Mr. Kittell s one of the most gentlemanly can lidates on the populist ticket and if lome of the space, which has been employed in belittleiug opposing can lidatcs, had been used in giving nm an occasional complimeniarj lotice, perhaps his party would have nore appreciated its efforts. How in the world can the populists >f this state support W. H. Tbomp ion for governor, when they must mow that he lias’been a hireling for the great railroad corporations for Many vears? He has always been dentified as a railroad attorney, and .hat is just why the democrats were jound to ride down the populist can lidate and hold out for Thompson. The railroad vote means a big thing to the democrats. It comes pretty lear swinging the balance of power n this state sod we predict that the Majority of the conservative popu 1st farmers will not submit to this kind of fusion. As to the state senate it will he a choice this fall between two Sherman county citizens. Judge Wall, the republican candidate, is well known in both Buffalo and Sherman coun ties, and will get many votes outside of bis party on bis merits alone. His opponent is not known at all in Buf falo county and has not so far made anv impression in the campaign, it will be perfectly safe, therefore, for the voters of this county to give their support to Judge Wall, whose age, ability and experience partic ularly fit him for the important work cut out for the next season.—Kear ney Hub. \Yrben Tom Majors, the soldier candidate, ran for governor on the republican ticket, the populist ora tors, including Patrick II. Barry, howled “bloodv shirt”. Now this same Barry it up for congress on the pop ticket and has his photo, with his soldier pedigree a yard long, tacked up iu almost every conspic uous place. If Bat Berry wasn’t such a gooseberry, he would take tliem down at once. Someone ought to kick his raspberry until it is blackberry, Those circulars issued by the dem m.nu to all the liquor dealers throughout the sta'c, charging Mr. Mickey with being an abstainer and a Methodist, came out a little too | hood; and, instead of having the de 1 sired efifn t, is working injury to ! >.heir cause. They did not intend that it should receive publicity, j tmt it lots. --; To vote vour parly ticket straight, inurk vour ballot with a cross in the circle at the top and it will count for such ticket from top to bottom.
