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

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

It was in the toiler's day tha

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.

THE ELECTION.
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.

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.
