SPEECH
"Was -tho One Mode by lloirC. J.
" jmytho in lleiuingford
i .1 . Wednesday.
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
