"THERE is nothing in this elec
tion that will be as satisfactory to
Indiauola people as the election of
W. R. Starr , which now looks to
be an accomplished fact , " says
the Reporter. It will be 0. K.
for us , colonel.
THE Indianola Reporter wants
to know "what it has to do with the
election of a United States senator
where the candidate lives or who
secured his nomination ? " Abso
lutely nothing , Colonel Phillips.
And all Republicans can and
should unite on this proposition
and vote for Hathorn.
THE splendid personality of M.
L. Hayward , the Republican nom-
innee for governor , stands out in
most attractive and pleasing prom
inence in this campaign. Large
in soul and heart as well as in
physique , with a fair and manly
record in the past , and great prom
ise for the future , he would make
a typical governor.
THE Bartley Inter-Ocean con
servatively and modestly offers the
following : "Dr. Hathorn is so well
and favorably known in this part
of the county as an upright , intel
ligent citizen , that he is likely to
receive a large vote at the coming
election : and if elected , he will be
a faithful , working representative ,
who will carefully look after the
interests of his constituents and
state. "
THERE are some people who are
so small , contracted and hide
bound that they are afraid to ex
pand ; and there are some other
people who are too mean and sel
fish to want to give others the
chance and rights and liberties of
American citizenship. Both are
against the policy of President
McKinley in the present emergen
cy. But thank the Lord , the
number is not alarmingly large.
A VOTE for Sutherland is a dis
approval of what President Mc
Kinley has done and what he must
do to settle the after-war questions.
If elected , Sutherland would , as
before , antagonize McKiuley , and
every measure which that great
statesman sees will bring honor to
the United States. Yote for Cap
tain Adams and thus help vindi
cate the great American nation by
sending a man to congress who is
in harmouv with the policy of the
administration. Curtis Courier.
THE Indianolu Reporter feels
free and frank to say that S. R.
Smith "is no more an ludianola
man than Starr. All his property
interests are in and around Mc
Cook , and we expect to see him
shake the dust off of his feet , one
day , and make his home among the
Philistine ; and the chances are
that he will be the most pro
nounced Philistine of the whole
lot. " So this removes the sole
and only prop from under Samuel
Randolph , and leaves the way open
for a perfect landslide to Starr.

VOTE FOR PROSPERITY.
No man of caiidor and honesty
will deny that the United States is
very much more prosperous now
than it was two years ago. The
evidence of this is overwhelming.
It is furnished in the activity of
nearly all industries , in the un
precedented proportions of domes
tic and foreign commerce , in the
earnings of the railroads , in the increased -
creased deposits of savings banks ,
in the liquidation of debts and in
the larger currency circulation.
The statistics Avhich prove these
facts show that the American peo'-
ple as a whole were never so pros
perous as now in all their history ,
and the outlook for the future , in
the opinion of men whose judg
ment in such a matter is entitled
to the highest consideration , is
most favorable.
It is not necessary to discuss
the causes of this fortunate condi
tion. It is sufficient to know that
it- exists and to inquire as to what
is essential to its continuance. The
most essential thing is the mainte
nance of a sound currency , for
which the election of a Republi
can congress will give the best as
surance. It is hardly less import
ant now than it was two years ago
that the cause of sound money
shall be sustained. If this is not
done there is nothing more certain
than that the effect will be damag
ing to nearly all interests and that
consequently a check would be
given to our progress toward great
er prosperity. The election of a
Democratic house of representa
tives would be so distinct a menace
to the maintenance of a sound cur
rency that it could not fail to weak
en financial confidence. Capital
would again become timid and dis
trustful it would be disposed to
wait for future developments and
prosperity is not attainable with
capital in that condition.
A vote for a Republican con
gressional candidate is a vote for
prosperity. The election of a Ee
publican house will give assurance
that the policies which 'have mad' '
prosperity will be maintained and
if necessary strengthened. Th
election of a Democratic house wil
mean war on these policies with
more or less hurtful effect. Yet
lor prosperity. Omaha Bee.
COLONELS RUNDUS and Mitchel
are doing over-time in their efforts
to outdo the copperhead sheets of
the rebellion. The former de
serves a court martial , if mentally
responsible ; and a change of we
nurses might improve the latter
BUT one thing remains , and tha
is to get out the vote on election
day. There is enough Republican
sentiment and there are euougl
Republican votes in this county to
win out a decisive victory , next
Tuesday , if the voters take enough
uterest in the important matters
nvolved in this election to go to
lie polls and cast their ballots
This is not only a duty but a great
) rivilege and no American citizen
should fail in the performance.
The Republican platform is all
right and the candidates are all
right. The condition of the coun
try would indicate that Providence ,
Prosperity and the Republican par
ty have gone into a close corpora
tion for the good of America , and
the voters of the county should do
their part in maintaining in office
the Republican party , to which
much of the splendid conditions
are due.
A GRAND ISLAND comrade
writes : "Hon. C. E. Adams , the
Republican candidate for congress
in this district , has labored in the
interest of the old soldiers for the
last thirty years , and the number
he has assisted in securing their
just rights is legion. When de
partment commander of the state
he issued a circular letter to all
the posts in the department offer
ing his services to all those who
desired assistance in securing their
pensions. This shows that go
which way the election may in
this district , the old soldiers are
going to have a friend at court.
It also shows that it is not neces
sary for a republican comrade to
sacrifice his political principles
fearing that his pension rights
will not be looked after. Mr.
A.dains is one of us. He is
touched with a feeling of our iu-
Srinities. He has drunk from the
ame canteen. Of course being
ill that , he might not take an act
ive interest in the boys' claims.
But his record as above stated is
jvidence that he will. "
VOTE for Starr for county attor-
uey , and thus help to place in of
fice a thoroughly experienced auc
capable man.
ENDORSE the administration bj
voting for Adams , Allen and Hath-
orn. They are all worthy auc
able men and believe that Presi
dent McKinley should be uphele
in the present crisis.
DON'T neglect going to the polls
on election day'and putting an X
after the name of E. N. Allen ,
candidate for state senator. See
that your neighbor goes also.
Every voter should show his col
ors , this year.
DR. J. E. HATHORN of Bartley ,
the Republican nominee for rep
resentative , is in the city , today ,
in the interest of his candidacy.
The doctor is feeling confident of
a favorable decision at the polls ,
next Tuesday. The strength of
the doctor's claims to success and
a comfortable majority are unde
niable and admitted. All of his
frieds should be at the polls , Tues
day.
THIS county ought to give Cap
tain Adams a majority on election
day. If we are patriotic Adams
county citizens we can afford to
vole for our distinguished name
sake. He is with the national ad
ministration. His name would ap
pear high on the roll call and the
man behind the name will fully
merit any consideration. A man
who has lived in this congressional
district for a quarter of a century
comes nearest knowing what the
district best needs. Hastings
Record.
A VOTE for Hay ward will be a
vote for one of the strongest men
in the state that ever aspired to
the office of governor. He is a
representative man , whose record
is clean and whose acts have been
high and honorable in every walk
and situation of life. The Repub
licans of Nebraska made a big ad
vance when they placed a man of
his standing and ability at the head
of their ticket , thus elevating that
office above the petty things of
political life and placing it upon
high and dignified grounds.
DR. J. E. HATHORN of Bartley ,
the Republican nominee for rep
resentative for this county , on the
grounds of merit and ability de
serves a decisive majority of the
people of this county. And then
on the highei grounds of patriot
ism he should be fiectpd to repre
sent this county in the next legis
lature. In this way Red Willow
county can express her sympathy
for President McKiuley by elect
ing a man who will vote for a sen
ator who will uphold the hands of
the president in the settlement of
the issues naturally growing out
of the late war. Yote for Hathoru !
IT is a sad reflectiou on this
day and generation when it be
comes necessary for the success of
so noble an enterprise as was the
Omaha exposition to tack on such
a rotten incubus as the "Midway. "
For rotten and vicious and corrupt
it was to the core. Immoral and
criminal it attracted many a weak
and foolish man and woman and
child to ruin and disaster. The
entertainment and educational ex
cuse for its existence but thinty I
covered a lustful , criminal deprav
ity that was more damnable than
alevating , educational or entertain
ing. With but few exceptions the
ivhole atmosphere of the "Midway"
tvas disgusting and degrading and
i blot upon the fair name and fame
} f the Omaha exposition.
