Sprecher , the editor ol the Sclmy-
ler 1'Yeo ' Lance is out in strrtngarticle
in which lie denounces liryan , after
\otingforand sui > porting him twice
for President. Among other IhiiigH
he has the following to say :
'The editor of the l Yoi ? Lance is
not a republicanand does not expect
to be. 'Phis editor is a populist in be
lief and endorses the principles of that
party which has nominated 'Pom Wat
son again for President. He is for
the Platform that 'Pom Watson runs
on and is Ji" admirer of Watson's ,
and voted for him four years ago.
But this year in Nebraska a populist
cannot vote for Watson owing to UK-
iilanipulation of the electors by the

The poultry department at our
County Fair this year promises lo
be one of the moat important and
uioat attractive features.
Until a year or so ago tins de
partment was very much neglect
ed but now the management of
machine element of the party , which
is nude up of a lu l of masquerading
democrats , fn Nebraska this year
a populist cannot vote for Watson and
must be disfranchised or else choose
from the other nominees.
"Above all else this year , the Free
Lance editor is opposed to the elec
tion ofV. . .1. Bryan to the presiden
cy because he is simply disgusted with
the standing candidate , who is ap
parently for or against , any proposi
tion that will net him votes. In 181)0 )
when Bryan run for President the lirst
time , the writei was enthusiastically
lor him and was a "silver" advocate ,
not thai we considered his bimetalism
a solution of the money question , but
because we were opposed to the sin
gle gold standard and looked upon
"free silvei " as a step in the right di
rection of an increase1 ol currency ,
lint it was a part ol the "instrinsic
value" sophistry as was the gold
standard idea and a makeshift at best.
"In 11)00. ) when still standing by his
"free silver" ideas , Bryan made the
fake ol anti-imperialism and anti-mil-
ilarism his chief issues , lie based
his charges ol imperialism on the
Phillipine pollicy ol the government ,
alter he was to a great extent respon
sible for it , and his cry of the dangers
of a large standing army was bun
combe. While not a warm supporter
of his , still he was voted for that year
because we were not a McK'inley ad
vocate.
'But Bryan's actions since 11)00 )
and his present campaign work and
talk are such that we cannot support
him anil feel it a duty to oppose his
lite association arc awake to the
fart of its importance and are
giving it the attention it deserv
es. They are also awake to the
fact thai" there is as good fancy
poultry in Custer County aa any
where in Nebraska.
The Superintendent informs
us that they will offer $25.00 in
cash prizes and that this is in ad
dition to the regular primiums

"Bryan lias deserted "free silver , "
he dropped 'government ownership'
he is weak on 'imperialism , and he is
not frantically calling attention of the
American people to the dangers of our
'enormous' standing 1111113 % but what
he is doing aside from bidding for the
labor vote is to go before the people-
on a lot of little matters that at best
are but policies and not principles ,
such as guarantee of bank deposits
and publicity of campaign contribu
tions , and with the war cry of 'Let the
people rule , ' which is the rankest sort
of buncombe and the words of a
grandstand player.
Debs Don't Like Bryan.
| iugene ) V. DebS , the Socialist
Candidate for President , in a speech
in les A'loines , Iowa , las ! week was
heartil3r applauded by some 2000
working men who had gathered to
hear him when lie had the fol
lowing to say of Mr. Rryau :
'Phi- Nebraskan , said Mr. Debs ,
* . l.iiuis Id represent both the Capital
ist and the working men.
"No man can do this any more than
he can ride two horses at the same
going in opposite dirctcions , " he said.
' * [ admire JVJr. 'Paft the more because
he frankly admits representing the
capitalistic classes. When ITaywood
Meyer and Petibone had been kid
napped and were threatened with the
loss of their lives , Mr. Bryan was up-
pealed to as the friend of the people ,
but he uttered never a word. Is that
the kind of a man you want for Presi-
poinls , second prixe to count
three points. It is possible for
one exhibitor to win tour pri/es
provided he has the quality in
his birds , namely , first aTd second
end on fowls and first and second
on chicks.
Those with whom we have
talked about these grand cash
specials concede that it will bring
out alarge number of birds. Con
sidering this , it will be well for
you to look well to the quality of
the specimens you bring. It may
be well to add" right here that
some preperation of your birds
will pay you. Catch them a few
days before the Fair and coop
them if possible. Clean their
legs , wash their faces , combs ,
and rattles and put a little vas
eline on their face , comb and
watlles. If you will do this yon
will be surprised at the improve
ment in their appearance.
A poultry show is the best
poultry school in the world.
Come out , bring your birds , talk
it over with the other fellow and
profit by the the experience of
others.
This year we expect to sec a
good display of pet stock , pig
eons , hares , rabbits. All will be
given and you are urged to bring
whatever you have and help make
this years show a hummer.
The Supl. will exhibit his
birds that won the Blue at the
State Fair last week but these
birds will not compete foi any of
the prizes.
Dent come to the l 'air and say
that you had better birds at home
but bring them along and show
them.
Another Attraction.
Aside from the many attrac
tions which have been already
secured and which have been
noted in this paper , the manage
ment informs us that they have

Over at Des Moins , Ja. , on Aug.
2Jst , Candidate Bryan made a tarill
reform speech which in fact was not
an advocacy of tariff reform but a
plain appeal for free trade , although
the .Peerless tries lo cover his real in
tentions by a copious use of the wore
"reform" in this connection. Jn this
speech Candidate Uiyan ; had much to
say about "wills" and how an intelli
gent man would proceed to make t
will and leave to his wife anil childrei
exactly the share of the property
which he desired them to have. This
is a good subject for Candidate Biyai
in view ol the will he drew for the late
PhiloS. Bennett of Connecticut witl
the secret letter attachment whicl
made Candidate Bryan a beneficiary
to the extent of $50,000 in the Ben
nett estate. In drawing the will for
Mr. Bennett , Candidate Bryan did
not follow the rule he lays down at
Des Monies of putting each bequest
plainly in the will , ' 'lie was willing
to get into the Bennett will without
publicity , and lost out in court when
the widow contested.
