What Constitutes an Honest Man Fit to Hnndlo tho County Rocords or Monoy. Wo tftntcil in lust week's issue that tho Nation was so full of lies that it wm impossible to unlwVi' all Of thuUiy Ik this weok Usuu tho Nation kuyo' "wo aro oueday luto with our paper this weok because wo do not, wish the dowH'Htrottt sheets to answer our shite- tutnti." Right hero wu ask the intelligent voter to pausu and reflect upon the weaning of this statement. Why docs not tho Nation want its urtieJoa an s we red? Wo answer it is beeause tho Nation knows the HUtemouts it makes aro lies pure and simple itittdc out of whole cloth for the purpose of injuring tku eandklaoy of tho rapuhlicau noini- e.e, for if thuso statumor.W wore truo tho Nation would ho trying to have its Bhitoniouts answered. Wo eopy horu with for the bonollt of our readers a tow of the statement which the Nation .says It docs tiutdvdiru answered "Mr. White has eolloeted JUK for clerk lure froih this county for tho llrl liitoo years of his term "Nation This is an absolute and utiqualilieil lie. Nuitliff Mr. White or hi- deputy oror oiillieted a cent from ihe county Iu' ulurk l.iro dtiiinjf the. three lir.-t ywuy of hi- ihiiii and Walsh knows this us wull n any othur man if ho knows anything.

"Why did Mr. White procure the non iimilnn of K. H. Smith for cuiiunUjiutier from tlio till district'? Uocausu Mr. Smith is ouo of Mr. White's bunds moil." This is another sample, of Na tious "vorueity." Thu county trcasur ors houd is on file in tho county clork's oUloo. It is thoro and can ho inspected hy any voter who wKnes to ..atbfyliim self of tho li nth or faUity of this tato niont. Wo have examined tho bond and vo say to tho public that Mr. Smith's name does not appeal on tills bond for the very simple reaon that Mt.

Wo answer that it was Mr. White's hank book. Tho records of the county treasurer' ofllco tire open to tho inspection of every citizen, but Walsh did not wish to Investigate any county record. Ho only wanted to pry into Mr. White's privnto business affairs and thinks himself aggrieved that this was refused him, Who is this matt Uurgess? Who is running for county treasurer on the populist ticket? Is it tho same old John O. Hurgess who while acting ns cashier of the Ditto Hill Bank took 921QO out of tho hank nnd putting his note for a like amount into tho drawer turned the koy in tho bank door and hied himself to California? Wo ans wer it is tho samo Hurgcss who is now posing beforo the people of Webster county tm a reformer. Ho may liavo tho genealogy of tho Burgess' family fur 1100 years back but did taking this $3100 out of tho lMuo Hill Bank wreck that bank wo can ouly unswer that from that d.iy until now the Dan1; of iillto Hill has nover opened its doots and thefmmers who deposited mono in this haul, filing upon Mr. I!iui.s' claim of houcty have never received their money. Now a wont as to the lost bond. All these bonds tiro tu the custody of tho county clerk and tlio treasurer has no mne to do with them than has thu editor of tho Nation. If llurgrso was a man of oven ordinaty sense he would know this. Yet in one of his little meetings, Mr. Hurgcss said: "We have poor lights this oveniug. If they had been mote light in tho county treasurer's ollho tho bond would not have been lost. Wo would like to ask this Christian gentleman what kind of a light was ho used to during tho years 1803 and 1801. There is onu other small matter to which wo wish to call the attention of tho voters of this county, viz: There is now standing against Mr. Hurgcss in tho clerk of thodistrict courts ollicc an to unpaid judgement amounting over $1700 due and owing to tho assignees of tho Bluo Hill bank. Votct-3, do you want a mau with the record of John O. Hut gets to handl your county money duriug the next two years? Ifiou do not, east your volo for C. D. ltobinson who is no knowlidged to bo an honest mau, and of whom tho leading populists say "he is tho host man wo hayo ever had in thu county treasurer's ofllco. Voto for Charles D. IlobinsoH. THE ACTUAL CASE. At Lonst, Ona.Populiit Who Will Voto for Mrs. Caao. Perhaps it is fair to Mrs. Eva Caso to say that there is at least ono popu list in tho county of Webster whole hinds to support nor, sicco someone, evidently l'rof. Wilson himself, under tho titlo of "Republican" attempt through tho columns of tho Nation to bolittlo hot- reputation as an educator. Prof. Wilson is probably college bred, that is his qualifications for teaching tho youth of tho county result from training at an obscure college in Iowa, and it Is equally true that Mrs. Caso gained some exporicneo in tho "classi cal cottrsi" in a Now Kngland seminary but she nover mw lit to herald the fact to the world not oven for the pur pose of carrying an election. It is also true that Mr. Wilson was hired for two years, but when he was discharg ed Mr. Case was retained audit can From Adirondacks. J, W.

It comes with ill grace for Wilson or his friends to say that he drew MiO per year for sober vising the work of Mrs. Caso who was put upon a salary of $10 or f0 per month. The superintendency has al ways been a slneeuro and the teachers did tho work. Met, now, youths then, remember tho timo when a college graduate was ejected from tho high school building and Mrs. Case took tho entire school in chargo and conducted tho term to a successful issue. It is not true that Mrs. Caso gave up her position ns supcrintctplcnttogobackto teaching and tho fact is known to vot ers. It is not ti no that Mrs. Case never tntight anything but primary classes as all tho people of Red Cloud know and it Is not truo that alio is not qualified by her experience and education to is sito llrst grade certificates in this or any other county.

A Case or Spite Work l'lie Nation of last week tool; up nv columns of space In an endeavor bv misrepresentation ant! personal abtt-e to make political capital out of tho tax list which was printed Jointly is tho issues of tho Argus and Cjiikk. Tho article throughout is a tnasof fabrica tion and tho ono who wtoto It knew he was lying. The amount, made out in tho claim is just and correct and Bernard MoNouy who is making the fuss and writing for tho Nathm knows that It is all right. Iieforo and after the Nation of last weok came out they had their populist pluggeis on tho street telling the people how tho Argus nnd Chief were stealing from the county ami how they as reformer wcro going to get out an injunction re straining the Issuance of tho warrant stud thus stive the taxpayers. What did they do? On Saturday la-t tlroy tiled papers with tho county clerk against tho issuing of tho warrant of W. L. MeAlillau and appealed from tho allowance of tho claim by the county commissioners to tho district court. Tho. claim of Geo. J. Warren of tho Argus was identical to that of the Chief in every particular. No movo was mado to stop the issue of tho War den olalr-j.,1 WlojuJhcy stoypnl ihcino1 claim and lot the other go what did thoyshow? Simply that it was spito work and not to save tho taxpayers. Warren had not said anything in re gard to tho steals of booxo, wajons, barbwiro, biggies, flour, etc., Me Millan had, and that is why the issuance of his warrant was stopped. In order to make tho matter appear honest and in order to us they thought got a few vote) for tho populist ticket they induced Francis Houchln to bring tho caso against the issuance of the warrant. Houchin, with a Iittlo smooth talk on tho part of AlcNcny was in duced to do it believing that ho was doing right and saving tho tax payer. Houchin was hxuest but ho was inveigled into the deal by a coterie of follow who haven't the respect of the decent people of our citj .
