Tom Finlon thinkH if it liad not boon for W , B. Easthaui a partial fusion might have boon effoatod with the pops. Murray , Armstrong and Doan ho would have eavod. With all his oloquouoo J. J. Wilson - son , the ohampion of the fusion oauflo at Ausloy could not induce the democrat dolcgatoH to loud their influence to Have the sinking ship. Brewer , and Williams of Sargent imraodiatoly withdrew from the domooratio convention after the vote on nominating a regiHtor of deeds waa carried by a vote of 83 to 47 , The oars of WanU'Jaok are short when oomparod with Eli's and JooV faces since they hoard the result of the domooratio convention. Neither Doan or Evans have boon in sight of this oiliuo HIMOO. The eighty delegates from the country districts were too many lor the Broken Bow delegation , who , it was claimed , had Hold and deliv ered the democratic vote to iho pop ringsterg ot the court house. In aolcotiug Billy ItiiBinistiol of Mason City , as candidate for regis ter of deeds the democrats made a strong nomination. Mr. KuamisBol is a farmer and gram dealer and h ono of the moat popu lar democrats in his locality. Everything , it seems , ia going against the Ouster county popu this year. Instead of a total failure there will bo lots of corn , and to make matters still worse for thorn a good rain foil last week , which will make la to pasture away above * \ the average , Apparently there in no consolation in sight Courier. The democrats put up the strong CHI ticket at Anslcy Tuesday that the party over named in thib county Several of the pops now say they Jid not moan it when they passed that resolution ngiinut fusing with the democrats. They did not ox- peel that the democrats had the courage to rrflPttt it. W. B. EiiBtham und Unolo Joe Skolton are two of the delegates to the democratic convention from Broken Bow that st < ori by their principles and opposed fusion to a finish. Mr , Bryan sayo "irnpoarialiem is still Iho great imuo between thu two political parties. " Most of the loading Demooiats say it is a dead isHuo. Arid there your , Rochester "Democrat and Chronicle " To strike at the head of the re public is to strike at the republic's aolf , In the angry contemplation of Hitch a blow creeds and parties are forgotten.

Bryan insists that Mark llanna should bo nominated for the Presidency by the Republican pally n 1904. This ho regards as his best joke , but it is far from being as good a ono as the presumption on his part that ho is capable of giv ing political advice. Chicago "Intor-oooau , F. E. VauAntworp , republican candidate for county surveyor , who has served the county in tha' capacity before , and has located a good many hidden corners , is com pelled to acknowledge that ho can not looato anything that looks like a ' -populist corner" in old Ouster this fall. Courier. An exchange wants to know what is to bo done with the surplus ol money in the United States Treas ury. Turn the Democrats to it. liioy never fail to use the surplus. In 1892 they found a full treasury and in IOSH than throe years it was empty and they issued 1202,000,000 u bonds. Sparta ( N. C.Nowe. . " The pop board that out the tax levy down to loss than halj' what they had boon levying for the past ton yearn , after their defeat at the pollsin order to cmbaratjs the ropnb. licau board , reckoned without their hosts when they thought Ktich work would fool the intelligent voters of Custor county. The voters of Cus- tor county are not all idiots by a long ways. That there is "many a slip be tween the cup and lip" was again demonstrated at Antdoy Tuesday. The pops had scoured a majority of the Broken Bow delegation to the convention for fusion for sheriff , judge , clerk , etc. , and they felt jubilant over their chances. How their countenances did change when the news reached the city that the convention defeated fusion 83 to < 17 , The certificates in last week's Republican < publican , given by the county Irons urtr , and showing that Prof. Lewis haa paid several dollars tax money into the treasury , knocks the poor old Beacon's argument into cooked hat. The Beacon's future is not so very bright , a tut in the blear of its oycs it grasped at what it thought was a straw , but its last | hope has now vanished , Callaway Couriur. Loon Czolgo/ his written con fession , says in part that "In Clove- laud I road books on socialism and met a great many socialists in the west. " "During the last live yearn I have had as friends anarchists in Chicago , Cleveland , Detroit and other western cities and I suppose I became more or less bitter. " "But what slurtod the craze to kill was a looturo a little time ago by Emma Goldman. She was in Cleveland and I and other anarchists wont to hear her. She sot mo on lire Her doctrine that all rulers should bo exterminated was that act me to thinking. " From Czolgoez'u method of reasoning Hooialium \ the firm Btcp that loads lo anarchy and anarchy loads to an unuontrolablo desire to murder. While it does not follow that all eooialintH will become anarchists , it shoWri the result in his caHc , There in but ono safu rule and that is to adhere strictly to the teaching of Chribt in which wo are admonished to bo submieHivo to the nowors that bo. Any individual or organization that nolH hnnsolf up against the government or has for its object the destruction of the government and the death of its rulers should bo treated as traitors and the penalty life imprisonment , without possi. bility of pardon. The Beacon filled a half column of upaoe last wick in a vain endeav or lo crawfish on its former state- mentjtliat John Lewis was not a tax payer , inbtoad of frankly ac knowledging its error. The tax certificates copied in the Rui'unu- OAN two weeks ago was a knock out for which the "poor old Beacon was not prepared. For the further information of the Beacon" wo will state that wo are prepared to show tlut the land tax paid by John W. G. Lewis , although the reoordH may show it in his father's namebelongs to him and was his prior to the date the treas urers certificates iihowH ho paid the taxes on It , It is reported that Janon Evans wan the only pop candidate that at tended the democratic convention and that the delegates from his homo precinct withdrew from the convention immediately after the convention voted to nominate a candidate for register of deeds. Of course Evans was not a delegate , but you can draw your own con clusions. While wo had a populist board in charge of affaire in Custor county the tax levy was from 14 to 18 mills for general purposoBpftcr then defeat last fall they out it down to seven mills in order to reduce the revenue below the actual riming ox peusosthat they might charged up a shortage to the republican admin istration. O ' Should Mrs. J. J. Tooloy accept the nomination tendered her Tues day for co\mty \ superintendent by the democrats , there is no question but the race will bo between her and John Lewis. No stronger nomination could have boon raado by that party. . m ' The nomination of Josh Woods of Loup township by the democrats is i strong ono. Ho is ono of thu eldest stockmen in Ouster county. Ho was hero when the writer came twenty-three years ago and was then a ranchmen on the South Loup. _ _ A party that will endorse the ac tion of its ollicora in violating their sworn duty for political offoot is not worthy of the confidence of the public and should bo relegated to oblivion. Hope For ( ho How. Broken Bow has n rumor that the Burlington's freight divisions at Seneca and Rayonna are to bo abolished ished and a new division establish ed at the Bow. This would make a division 192 miles long from Lincoln to Broken Bow , and an other 190 miles from Broken Bow to Alliance. The rumor was not denied at Burlington headquarters this morning but nothing definite could bo learned Boo. Another Issue spoiled. Nebraska democracy ib to bo piti ed. Free silver is deader than a smilt ; antioxpaueion has collapsed ; free-trade has boon knocked into a cooked hat by treasury Btaotiatioe ; the sultan of Sula can't bo kept on the stage ; Merle llanna tefuscs to grow horns or split his hoofs ; the price of farm products remains high ; McKinley will not doolaro himself emperor and there has boon no oonscriptou of the young men of the country to fill up the ranks of the standing army to oppress the people , and especially to rivet the yoke on the nocks of the poor. There was much rejoicing and chat tering when Bartloy was p\roled : and the democratic heart , which had boon feebly pulsating in demo cratic boot. " , suddenly began a livelier boating. Hero was eonic- thinc { to Htir Iho blood. Hut before the Htato convention , disavowed any ondorsmont of iho policy upon which the fusion issue hunters would base their-fi ht. Foxes have holes , the biida of the air have nests , orphans Imvo asylums , but the rattled and discot- ftiiiouists have nowharo to lay their aching heads. Fremont Tribune. Ju > Note Of Despair. One fact in connection with the recent drought mupt have Htrtiek oven the most casual observer of passing events , In all the accounts that have come from thocst of crops burned up and expectations disappointed there has boon no note of depiir , No fact indicates the great ad vance the country has made dining the past five years more than this does. Lot any ono imagine , if ho can , the r suit of such a drought as that just ended coming in IS DC. The country was then laboring under the disasters brought on by Grover Cleveland's low Tariff policy. The production of manufacttucs had been cut down in every direc tion and in some instances it had ceased entirely. If a long continued and widespread drought had oc curred in the summer of 1805 the lees and suffering entailed would have boon almost incalculable. It would have needed yoais to recover from it. Now , thanks to live years of Protection , the countrv is rich. It has a largo reserve force which it can draw upon in casu of need. Consequently the loss in crops by the recent drought will not moan a reduction to poverty as it would have dene in 1895 , but only a re. duotion of the expected deposit in the savings bank by the farmer and Iho workingmau. This can be berne without complaint. And that is why there is no noto'of defi- pair iti Western comment on the drought Philadelphia "Press. " - - - Dealing With ISMICS- Ono great characteristic of the re publican party is that it takes either ono side or the other of any issue which it happens to encounter and carries on the war for the prin ciple it beliovoa to be right regard less of what the public thinks of it. As en example the revenue measure known as the McKmley bill was unpopular ; but the republican party , behoving it to bo right , stood by its position , and the result was the de feat of MoKtnloy for the governor , ship of Ohio. But the republican party swerved not an inch from ita position , and the outcome proved it to bo in the nght. The MoKinley tariff was vindicated and the repub lican principle of protection slio\\n to the high statesmanship by tbo unparalleled growth and develop ment of American manufacturing industries. On Iho either hand tbo democratic party nlways takes tha aide of an issue which appeals to the uneducated masses , regardless of right or wrong , simply us a vote catcher. The republican party deals with issues that are alive and it deal with thorn fearlessly and iutollo gently but the democratic party is afraid of a live issue , and invariably manufactures some issue of straw calculated to draw the votes of the unthinking at every recurring clue tion. tion.An An example in point may bo founc in the present campaign in this county. For ton yoaru the county has boon under the absolute confro of the populiHt-doniooratio-fusiou combine. During all that time the utmost limit of taxtation has beet levied , and in some cases the lira ; has been overreached. A year ago the election showed that on Jnuuar ; 1 , 1901 , a republican board of sup ervisors would assemble to atlmin ister the affairs of the county. The fusiouists aaw that they would need an issue for use in the oominq elec tion , and at the last mooting of the outgoing fusion board the tax levy for 1901 was out dowti from ' the maximum limit which had been used to the last dollar during the past ten years of "reform , " to seven mills. Thus the republican party found itself with the affairs of the county on its hands and but half ol the rovouue that had boon used by PROGRAM -OF- iusterCounty SEPTEMBER 25 , 26 , 27 , 1901 , BROKEN BOW , - NEBRASKA.
