No speaker who 1ms been in this county this full bus spoken more forcefully or reasoned more logically, or plead more oarnes tly for tho cause of tho common people than did tho Hon. C. J. Smythe democratic and populist candiddate for attorney general, at tho court houso last Wednes day afternoon. It is evident upon first tight that Mr. Smytho is a "born" gentleman, and it needs but one speech to convince reason able men that ho is a scholar and a logician. No man has given tho people of Hemingford a talk so convincing an I therefore wo ex pect to hear his argument "lam basted" and the man himself ridiculed and abused more than any speaker who has been among us this year. Mr. Cady has beon tho only man the opposition have had in the county who has loft an impression other than disgust even in tho minds of the most nrdent "Hannacrats" and Mr. Smyth so completely riddled every proposition made by Cady that we really feel sorry for tho depression that now prevails among our republican brethern in this vicinity. There is no long er any question of doubt about Nebraska being for Bryan, Hoi comb and tho balance of the state ticket and The Heiiauj lakes apardonablo pride as well as pleasuro in asking every voter who believes in good government by honest capible men, to give their support to this ticket, and especially do vj aivocate the merits of tho talented ctndidate for Attorney General. ' Mr. Smyth addressed'the most enthusiastic, successful,' political meeting at Alliance that has boon hold there this year in tho even ing of tho samo day, and made a strong talk to tho railroad inon tmany of whom wei'o present. Our republican friends are wearing anxious faces and ar rangements are already being made to bring Mr. Cady back as woll as to .secure tho services of other noted spaakera to counter act tho in finance sat to work by Mr. Smyth's address. The gap in tho fence is too broad to bj mended atd tho g. o, p. will- find that it wi1 take more argument .than "confidence" and "boodle" to whip the voters of Box Butto county into line. Iho county is county without doubt strong fqr freo stronger silver and every day. Alliance, Neb., Oct G, 1S9G. Editoii Heiiau: The Guide in its last issue, says, "Big Pete, Erh, and others o their party are (nnablo to find any republican who will accept their challenges to de bato tho ponding political question. Mr. Editor, this is tho becond time the Guide has told tho truth in this campaign. Tlio fact is that nil republicans have beon for bidden to engage in joint discus sions of the political issues of tho day. The other time tho Gnido told tho truth vas in itp paper of Sept 2. It said "we inciting tho republican party) have made a couple of thousand millionaires and a few million "thousandairea" but that does'nt count." Now Mr. Editor I ask tho Guide to print in tho next issue, tho following truths, viz: Wo tho republican party, during the last 30 yonrs, by the protective tariff have enabled tho.c .couple of thousand protected plu tocrats, to obsorb and "secure, to W rob by force of Jaw their enormous amount of untold wealth, created by tho hard, earnest toil of tho millions of unprotected toilers of this country. Tho Guide may dif fer from tho above, but tho unmis takable and indisputable facts staro us in tho faco, that tho lion's Bharo ftp U'mitfll lirrwlllmirl It,' tit mnlilt is in tho hands of tho few. Now what aro wo going to do about it? What u lessson ! " What fools wo mortals be!" Tho Guide will prob ably say, "what would America ho without tho manufacluivrdV" But history tolls us that American gon uis should have placed America and tho houd of the manufacturing world, long beforo tho rotten policy of protection was resorted .o, tho samo as she now stands at tho head of tho agricultural world. I ask the Guido in its next issue to ay, that wo the republican party brought into existonoo and nursed ln7 trusts and monopoliniictjdmbi nations backed by n billiohlnnd a half of dollars. ' That, wo itho re publican party are backed by nil the stock gamblers of, this nation, backed by ho 14,500 'mill owners, backed by all tho trus and cor porations, by all the political rene gades of this natioijthat wo, tho republican party are going to cram this gold btandurd down the un willing throats of tho American popple; and that wo tho republican party are doing and have done all this because wo love tho American people bo. L'it th'o Guide tell us how long it will bo before these millionaires, trusts, corporations and mill owners will ask us to pay their sharo of state and county taxes as they now compel us to pay their national taxes. &fr. Bryan the candidate of the common people says "If I am elected the chief executive of this nation I shall uso all the power I have .to drive all tho trusts and corporations out of existenco as soon as possible." Now lot the Guido show us where McKiuloy has said any word against these tru&ts, tho robbors of tho producers of all wealth. Lot the Guido prove to us that it dosen't take non-porspiriug law yers, non-producing bankers, and political tricksters to defend the caii'so of the common people. I hereby challenge J. S. Paradise to a jojut discussion of 'any or all tho political issues of the day be tween now and election any where in the county, Alliance nut except ed, WILLIAM MATJ5AT. The Heiiald is in receipt of a letter from J. H, Johnson who loft Lawn precinct n few weeks ago. Mr. Johnson says, "I arrjved at my now headquartors for tho Win ter; I can't call it home for Box Butte is my homo. I don't liko Seward county, there is no room hero for a poor man; I have my horses in a garden potato patch of about half an acre and that is all tho range they have.
