Pax ton has sent out from headquarters of the rotten concern in Omaha known as the "State liankcrs and Business Men's Association" an appeal that is really piteous in its abject mendicancy. Mr. Paxton admits that the liquor men have made si canvass of the state and that "the Amendment can only be de feated by an earnest , united and persistent effoit , intelligently directed , and backed by the names and money of the business men of the state , and of : those living outside who have material interest , real or personal , therein. " Mr. Paxton then oes on in his letter to generously announce that the outfit which he represents , with Eosewater as the , chairman of its executive committee , has taken liberty to bejj of the party addressed § 50 , "as a do nation to assist this committee in its efforts to avert the approaching calamity , " etc. In addition to this agonizing cry for boodle , cer tain bankers of Omaha , whose banksare made depositories for saloon , distillery and gam bling funds , are going from one business firm to another and making their piratical levies of from 510 toSoO to put into the great boodle lund of these corrupt agents of the Liquor Crime. BANKEUS OUTSIDE OF OMAHA. Our readers will remember that some time ago L. C. Humphrey , cashier of the Nebras ka Savings & Commercial Banks of Lincoln , wrote to the bankers of the state to learn their position on the prohibition issue. The resultsof this canvass have not heretofore ap peared in these columns. October 10th , the following letter was sent to many bankers throughout the state : LINCOLN , NEB. , Oct. 2,1890.

MOKE CKXSUS KKAUDS. Investigation into the census returns of Lincoln show that outrageous fraud hasbeei perpetrated here. The first ward of Lincoli was reported by the unscrupulous enumera tors under Tom Cook as containing a popu lation of 8,879. Careful estimates made bj special enumerators who iiavo gone over the ward , block by block , show an actual popu lation of only 2,979. Several other wards aie probably padded in the same outrageous way. What the friends ot the liquor traffic would not stoop to the Devil himself would blush to undertake. PREMIUMS AWARDED AT THE FAIR.
