Bryan From a Republican Stand point. William .1. Bryan has beer the guest of Kails Oily inanj times , but never has he bc < M received more gladly than lu was last Saturday. Hryan is remarkable man , of that then can be no question. His per. sonahty is such that he draw ? men to him and holds then with a tenacity that proves tin days of hero worship still abide with us. The most superficial review of his life proves by tlu results shown that here is ; i remarkable man. To h a v c amassed a fortune in politics without committing grand lar ceny is no small accomplish' meat , but this is the least of the things Bryan has done. Tc come to a western slate unher aided and unknown : a pool lawyer without practice or inlhi' etKe , and by the furciof Im personality secure the nomina tion for president within a feu years was enough to make tilt nation sit up and take notice. To .promulgate doctrines ol gov ernment that have been twict overwhelmingly repudiated by the nation , to lead his party tc two disastrous defeats but still remain alone and unchallenged in party leadership , to de troj every precedent relating to the lickleness oi parties and poli ticians , are no mean accomplish meats and mark him who doe * these things as far out of tin ordinary. Hut all these thing ; Bryan has done. He came to Falls City fresl from world wide travel and hi : friends in many numbers wen here to welcome him. lie spok < in the opera house and in tin court house , both auditorium ! being crowded. There w a i nothing new in either speech but it was Bryan who deliverec them which was quite enougl for his followers. There wai much in his addresses that mei of all parties indorse , but then were statements and assertion made that must have schockei even his admirers just a little and which one would hardly ex pect from a leader of his stand ing. It is unwise for any publi speaker to presume on the in telligence and knowledge of hi listeners. It hardly comport with the dignity or standing o a man Mice Mr. Bryan to tell ; half truth and from such premise d r av conclusion wholly false. Yet these thing Mr. Bryan didia Falls City las Saturday. H e said , amen other things , that no man shoul blindly vote for party. Tha the good citizen was one wh voted the other ticket when it candidates were better than hi own. George Gerhart , San Kimmel and other gentleme -who are noted for scratchin their tickets , applauded thi sentiment vigorously. As th speaker aaaounced this doc triae , one could hardly kee out of mind the speech Brya delivered in Chicago agaim Judge Parker the week befot Parker was nominated for prei ideat tit St. Louis , in which li accused Parker of every crini ia the political decalogue. An yet , within three weeks , Brya was supporting the man he d > nounced as against Theodoi Roosevelt president of tl : United States. Bryan spoke ia complimentt terms of President Rooseve for championing the rate bil "Yet , " he said , "There was n < a republican Senator who woul THE RICH MAN ! Me usually gets his start through the habit of saving. The opportunity is also yours and \ve advise you to take advan tage of it by opening an account with this bank. You can start an account with ONE DOLLAR and upwards. It will sur prise you how the DOLLARS grow when you save your money systemati cally. In any event , it's worth trying. Fall * City State . latlu-r the bill in the senate and they had togetTillman , a demo crat , to push it through. Do you not suppose that Mr. Bryan knew the falsity of this state ment when he made it ? Snroly he did Everybody knows the history of that bill and it is astonishing that any one , much more the leader of a great parly , should have made it. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is land was a member of the com mittee which had the bill in charge. So was Senator Dolli- ver of towa whom the President had selected to manage the bill. Aldrich is connected with Stan dard oil and the railroads both by financial ties and by rela tionship. One of his children married a child of John D. Rockefeller , lie is the recog- ni/.ed mouthpiece nf the rail roads. He represents no other interest as Senator. The rail roads wauled this bill defeated and at the instance of the rail , roads and on the motion of their mouth piece , Aldrich , the will of the President and of the epublican party was defeated ind the bill taken away from ) olliver republican and given to Tillman democrat. 13e it said to the eternal honor of rillman he knocked the hopes of the railroad crowd in the lead by lighting for the bill as lard as Dolli ver or any other nan in the senate. It was the railroads , who wanted the bill defeated and who knew that Tillman and the [ President arc personal as well is political enemies , that took il out of the hands of a republi can senator and put it in the lands of a democrat. Senator Dolliver and the President have never spoken to Aldrich from that day to this. Lt is said thai Dolliver will never recover froir , liis disappointment at being de. prived of the honor of managing this great piece of legislation. Yet Mr. Bryan said "thej could't get a republican to pre. sent the bill to the senate and had to get Tillman , a democral to do it. " "The republicans now say ir their platform that they are op posed to the issuance of passes We have been saying that foi fifteen years and the republi cans are just catching up" was another statement of the speak er. Whereupon Jim Whittakei from his seat of vantage am who travelled to the last stat < convention on a pass , led th < cheering. Mr. Bryan forgot to remim his audience that within tlu last fifteen years his party has had control of the state si : years , tour years under hlol comb and two years nude Poynter , yet no legislation was even proposed against passes In fact the state house was no torious because of requests t'o passes and our fellow towns man , Sam Lichty , was remove < from the state house becaus he wasn't in on the dead. "Wi have always been in favor o regulating the railroad , " sail the speaker , yet he was in con gress four years under Grove Cleveland a democratic presi dent and with a democratic con. gress behind him and neither he nor any other member introduc ed a single bill looking to the regulation of railroads. Mr. Bryan talked of tariff and said he paid $174 duty on bronze lions he purchased in .Japan. "If the republican w h o says the foreigner pays the tax will collect ect this duty from them for me I will give him half. " Mr. Hryan knows that no republi can ever said the foreigner paid the tax under such circum stances. In fact the tariff is designed to make the citizen who buys his goods abroad pay the tax , whether that citizen is Dollie Ilighkick who buys her gowns in France , Charlie New- rich who buys his diamonds in London or William J. Bryan who in Japan bought two bronze lions , "one with his mouth open and one with his mouth shut , representative of the eternal conllict between the positvic and the negative. " Mr. Bryan is a remarkable man , yet a man who suggests but does not perform. lie is , as Beveridge , Cummins el al. , have said of him , merely i ; dreamer of grand dreams. "He stands on the shore of lite'j streams , " said Senator Beve ridge , "and longs for a pebble to lit his sling that he may kil Goliath. " Theodore Koosevell stands by the same stream kill ing Goliath with the pebbles a hand. One promises , the othei does things. Mr. Bryan justi. lied the title of dreamer in Lin coin the other evening by recit ing the following poetry : "The d rainier llvns forever , The teller lives for ti day. " True , Mr. Bryan , true. Bu while the dreamer lives in tin rosy cloud of his dream , it has been in the day of the toilei that the world has advanced. It was in the toiler's day tha the declaration of Independenci was written. It was in the toiler's day tha the constitution of the Unitec States was penned and a nev nation , dedicated to justice am liberty , first had its being. It was in the toiler's day tha the perils that beset us wen over como and the natioi changed from an experiment t < a grand potentiality. It was in the toiler's day tha slavery was driven ftom ou : shores forever and forever. It was in the toiler's day tha a sundered nation was reunite ! and a dismembered country re constructed. It was in the toiler's day tha specie payment was resumed , a tariff principle evolved an < crystalized into legislation tha has made this nation a cominer cial giant. It was in a toiler's day tha the gold standard saved thi nation from financial dishono and commercial bankruptcy. It was in the toiler's day tha Spain was driven from th western hemisphere and eli Glory raised over thePhillipin Islands. It was in the toiler's day tha the rate bill became more thai ( if RESOLVED THAT THERE" flftY & ConfORTABLE FEELING , BUT ' roR HE THERES N ° THfVG ) LIKE SNUGGLING INTO AfiNE'co/viFY'\ / \ OVER COAT U/HEN WEATHERj ISWlrfTCY ITPlAKESWfEEL i So jftSJYTo BEWARfA'"AM > ' WELL DRESSED.

Crush ran like a wolf and had Cass Jones scared for about a day. Norris Brown will line up with LaFollette in the senate. lie is that kind of a fellow. The west end elected James. His vote in the three Humboldt was phenominal and was respon sible for his election. There may have been a few voters in the district that did not vote for Judge Rapcr , but the re turns would indicate that they were few. Shubert , Stalder and Jones each got his highest vote in his home precinct. What better recom mendation can you ask of a public servant. Nebraska will now have a Gov ernor as good as the Governor of Missouri. The Tribune predicts that Sheldon will { jive the state !

It has been a long time since the republicans have won such a signal victory in this county as was won last Tuesday. All of the republican county ticket is elected except John Wiltse. Mr. Wiltsc made a gallant fight against great odds ami was en titled to better treatment at the hands of his party. However , the manly way in which he takes his defeat , as well as the high order of his campaign , has made him stronger in defe ; t than he would have been had he been elected. In the state George Sheldon is elected by about 15,000 majority ; the legislature will be republican on joint ballot , thus insuring the election of Norris Brown senator to succeed Millard. All of the republican congressmen are elected in the state excepting Kennedy who was beaten by Hitchcock , of the World Herald. The entire country seems to have gone republican with the possible exception of Kansas. The fight between Hoch and Harris in the latter state is very close and may require the official county to determine it. Hughes is elected governor of New York over Hearst by about 60,000 , while Cummins is elected gov ernor of Iowa for a third term by greatly reduced majority. The next congress is safely republican though the present majority is cut down some. The fight on Pollard reduced his majority some though he will receive in the neighborhood of 2,000. It is now up to the party to keep its pledges. The next leg islature must give the railroad commission full and ample power to remedy railroad evils. An anti-pass law must be enacted and a direct primary provided. The board of supervisors will be democratic. Stalder w a s elected in the Salem district over Snyder ; Glosscr beat Atwood in the Humboldt district , Zoellers was elected in the Rule district and Simmertnan in the Barada district. This gives the demo crats four members of the board and the republicans three. For Supervisors. At the election on Tuesday the i following were elected as County Supervisors ; Glasser , Xoeller , Simmerman and Stalder. Card of Thanks. We desire to thank our friends and neighbors who so kindly as sisted us with their kindness dur ing the illness and death of our beloved husband and father. We also desire to thank the members of the Masonic and of the A. O. U. W. orders for their kindness. MRS. ADOLPHUS MRSSI.ER AND FAMILY. t The entire republican legisla tive ticket was elected in Omaha. If these members do not abide by the command of the state conven tion and vote for Norris Brown for senator , the country members should see to it that Omaha and Douglas county is left entirely out of the picture on the question of appointments and legislation. It has been a long time since three republicans have repres ented Richardson county in the , legislature. The people had con- 43 fidence in the principrls and inten tions of the party.
