DOUGLAS COUNTY POPULISTS
Fearf ul at -last of the. overwhelming
defeat of the nominees for the legisla
ture and county commissioner on the
democratic ticket of Douglas county,
the defunct democratic convention that
nominated them is again called .to
meet in Omaha Saturday, October 1, to
"reconsider some things." It ia re
ported that most of the several reput
able nominees on the ticket have re
fused to run with the rest, and that
the pressure has been so great among
those in Douglas county who desire
clean government that some of the
iboodlers and bums on the ticket are to
withdraw. The convention is called to
consider these things. There is no
aspersion here intended against James
;P, English, nominee fpr county attor
ney, who is well liked as a dean and
able official.
In the meantime the populists are
getting quite busy. . Their four conven
tions county, congressional, school
board and judicial are" called to meet
at Omaha, Saturday October 8. There
will be something, doing that will in
terest many. The war horse of the
Doiiglas county populists, Elmer E.
Thomas, who has just returned from a
trip to Europe, promises to be pres
ent at the convention and make a
speech that will make the" welkin ring
"with old-time populist enthusiatja. The
populists of that county, at last iteed
from contaminating alliances with
about as miserable a bunch of political
tricksters as ever infested an outraged
public, are taking on a renewed vigor
that is inspiring. -There will be a vital
organization of populists in Douglas
county, henceforth that will be heard
. frnm in nil r.uarters. '
... f '.It is safe to say'that the populists
there will forcefully repudiate, the pro
nosal to nomirnte the Cleveland dem
ocrat talkedot for district jrdge, but

trying to create conditions favorable te
their own subjects and looking out for
their advancement, seem to have bent

will not be denied by any intelligent
man. What the result of such a policy
will fife if it continues, should engage
the serious thought of every well-
wisher of mankind.
The meat trust in order to break the
strike rushed into Chicago some hun
dreds of criminals to take the stivers'
places, and when the fight was 'over,
set them loose in the streets of Chi
cago. : The result is that during the
month of September there weie fhree
murders, fourteen persons wounded by
hold-up men, seventy-four robbed by
highwaymen and twenty-five burglar
ies committed . in that city. That is
simply one of the things that the peo
ple must endure if they insist on hav
ing a meat , trust, or accept of the
strike breaking system inaugurated by
Parry. Wherever these strike break
ers have been used tne same results
have followed. k '

The scores of letters received at the
office of The Independent from Geor
gia every day. indicate beyond' ques
tion : that Mr. WaCsuii will carry his
own state. The' hundreds of letters
that have been received from all over
the state of Georgia attest the general
esteem in which Mr. Watson m held
and regarded by those nearest his
home and who know him btst. And
Georgia is not aloue. Everywhere the
protest against plutocracy be?o;r.es
more vigorous as the campaign pftn
