almost bordering on' the character -

been' indeed edifying to hear

supporting the democratic candidate -
didate for president , and across
the street to hear Bryan pleading
with his political stool-pigeons
to ratify ' [ 'om Watson's candidates -

deci e that he would never get a
chance to vote for a .tlLnocratic :

have been Mike Harrington's
peoration before the democratic
stat ; convention predicting that
"when Parker is defea.ted as he
wIll be defcated at twelve o'clock
eleclion lIightVilliam J. Bryan
will . again be the undisputed
lead r of the democratic party , "
which paraly.cd : the democrats
and , like one in atupor ! , swallowed -
lowed the dose prepared b ) '
Mike.
And we are told that this is
, fusion. ' { 'hat this is reform.
'l'hat this is democratic. But it
is populism. 'l'here were dcle-
gates in that convention from
Buffalo county who pretend to be
democrats who yellcd and yelled
in glee when Mike Harrington
toll1 them these things. 'l'hese
men will vote for fl'om Watson.
rhey nc\'er voted for a democrat.
'l'hey talk populism in broken
English and label themselves
Bryan dcmocrats.
'rhc ticket uomina ted by the
f4incoln frcaks is as appears at
the time oC this article. 'fherc
is not a man named as a candidate -
date on that ticket who is kpown
outside of the precinct in which
he lives excepting Berge of , Lincoln -
coln , o oue with any regard
for his political future , or with
any political self-respect could
be induced to accept a nomination -
tion upon ! mch a p9litical freak.
It has but one redeeming qualification -
fication and that is its palpable-
ness. No reason exists why any
intelligent voter needs be deceived -
ed 'by this freak ticket , or the
object and purpose of its nomina-
tion. It was not the purpose of
either convention to attempt t.o
elect the ticket. It is on the
market to secure votes to carry
the legislature. That is what
Mike Harrington meant when he
told the democratic state convention -
vention that "the legislature can
be carried and Bryan can be sent
to the upper house of congress. "
, It is simply a trading ticket , and
each and every caadidate will be
swapped for a legislative vote.
H such methods are not unbearably -
bly disreput ble it would. be diffIcult -
fIcult to prepare a mess that
would be.
\V. H. Thompson oC Grand Island -
land expressed his views in a
manner that almost makes it all"
pe r that he is becoming a sane
democrat again when he told
Metcalf of \Vor-Herald that
"we have fused ourselves cleat
out of the race.Vhy" said the
Little Giant , IIthis fellow Berge
will not get as many votes as the

Lincoln - , Nebraska ,
August 22nd , 1904.
" 'l'he late lamented democratic
convention increased the fUlid of
humor on this reeling' globe by
condemning GO\ ' . Mickey for
"refusing to sign the bill which
provided for the erection of a
statute oC Abra.lJam Lincoln on. .
the capital grouuds. " 'fhis was
one official act of the Go\'ernor
whiclJ tlte great and growling
exponents of IIreform" saw . fit to
cri ticise.
And the joke of it is , that at
the time when that hill was presented -
sented to the Governor for approval -
proval he signed it quickly and
cheerfully and the only reason
why the statute is not under construction -
struction today is that the officers -
cers of the senate and house neglected -
lected to afiix their signatures , n
omission which delays bllt cannot -
not defeat the project.
'rhe fact that the only sin of
Gov. Micke ) ' to which the convention -
vention could attract attention
was nol ilis sin at all proves
rather conclusively that he is a
very satisfactory oOicial.
] t is to laugh.

terests of the Nebraska Indepen. .
dent , as represented by its owners -
ers , C. Q. DeFrance and Frank
D. Mager , have risen to smite
Mr. Tibbles and he has been
overcome. It.will be remembered -
ed that at the time when fusion
was adopted in the last populist
state convention , Senator Allen
secured a firm hold upon the
lapels of Mr. Tibbles' coat and
literally dragged the populist
candidate away from the r ar
door of the Oliver and 'held him
in consultation in the back aUey
Mr. Allen called this "cooling
Tibbles off" but he didn't cQol
worth a cent. Mr. Tibbles wanted -
ed to go right into the hall and
say what he thought of "the
shameless surrender of beloved
principles at the behest of the
pie-hunters , but was prevented
from doing so.
Failing in their effort to "cool
Tibbles off" Allen and his domineering -
ineering c horts left the edi.
i torial end of the Independent to
fume and sweat as it might an
had a hurried conference with
the business end of the sheet.

As the time for the Nebraska

every day more apparent that
the fair this year will be greater
