AS THE VOTER WILLS.
Before another issue of The Trib
une shall have rone hot! it'n readers,
(lie county olei lion will have become
history, and all doubts, fears and
anxiety on the part of the candidate
and voter as to the outcome will hav
been put to tout by hahl facta and
figures.
In victory or In defeat . The Tribune
hits no apologies to make for the
part it lias taken in the canvass If
confronted with victory it will re
joice; if defeat, II will accept tile
same gracefully, and maintain its
usual poise and eater more valiantly
than ever to the army of readers that
It greets each week; for, after all,
politics and elections and their at
tendant upheavals, that of a neces
sity confronts a people from time to
time, are hut incidents in the great
program of life ami when llicsi up
heavals have subsided, there is skill
work to do and obligations to meet.
After till is said, it is the voter
who is supreme in (Ids matter, and
The Tribune bows to that strong will,
the majority, and congratulates the
successful candidates, and drops a
journalistic tear for the defeated
- . ..a ----------- J
If Judge (lugimii was honest in Itis
argument four years ago, when lie
was continually harping against i lie
third term, lie should now campaign
against himself, lie is now seeking
the very thing lie condemned four
years ago. Consistency!
_
Hundreds of voters -both demo
cratic and Independent- who consid
er their own Interests paramount to
that of party, will cast their voles
with the republicans this year The
bounty $621.62, while bookkeeper for
Martin Zook, through Ignorance or
neglect. This statement was a rank
Injustice to Rieehers Rieehers
NEVER cost the county or anyone
else for that matter—a red cent that
In1 did not justly earn. That $621.62
was due Mr. Zook, hut was in dis
pute with the state examiner. Rath
er than have the rash one cent short
Mr Kiei bt rs < boa > W leave the fees
and rominission until such time as
the county board should decide upon
the matter. The county hoard drew
a warrant for $621.62 in favor of Mr.
Zook.
That's all there is to it.
Does it look as though Rieehers
cost the county anything?
Was Rieehers dishonest?
Why tlon t th<* News prove the com
petency of Hutchings? Has lie In
any way demonstrated that he is a
financier or bookkeeper?
Why don't the Nows say a word or
two to excuse Hutchings, in the eyes
of the taxpayer, for Ids actions re
garding a certain bridge that was
'built at llulo across the slough, tin
der Ids Instructions, which cost tlit*
county upwards of ll.noo.ot) to re
locate?
Why don't you? Muni's the word!
As to Mr,Kii ( tiers’ competency and
honesty, all that Is necessary is
to ask anyone who has ever had any
dealings with him, and you'll imme
diately he convinced that the county
has no better material for the
county treasurer's office.
Republican voters who desire to
vote the straight ticket this year by
placing their *‘X" in the party circle
near tin* top of the ballot arc warned
that the democratic circle eotnes first
at the top this year instead of the
republican circle as lias been the
case for several years past, and that
the republican parly circle appears
second from the top of the ballot.
The law so provides owing to the
fact that the deinoi rats east the
largest vote last year for the head of
the ticket (Shnlletiberger). All re
publicans hope to replace the re
publican circle at the head of the
ballot by winning this year and re
placing the party circle at tile head
of the ticket for the important elec
tion of next year when a complete list
of state officers, a United States sen
ator and a legislature is to lie chosen.
II is said a cat has no affection.
Willi a don it is different. A don
never linnets a kind a< t and in this
respect he is a more perfect animal
than man._
There are v^ry few men who real
ly appreciate the benefit a of a good
home. They are quick to squeal,
however, if it is not to their liking.
Is love ill a eottasn a dream?
Try it, and report.

The Tribune wants to go on record regarding the third
term proposition. So long as The Tribune shall be publish
ed under the present management it will not only refuse to
support a candidate who asks for three or more successive
terms at public office, but it will do its utmost to defeat him
—regardless of party politics.
democrats believe they will serve
their party better by putting it
through a Course of purification,
thereby doing a doubly duty; the in
dependents believe in a change of
men, regardless of parly, every four
years.
those republicans who voted
against Judge Wilhite four years ago
on account of the third term issue,
which they declared they could nev
er and would never endorse, can
now apply (heir objections to Judge
Gagnon. He is not only a fifth term
er, but didn’t want the office. lie
didn't even tile until after James
was allowed to file and was given
to understand that Gagnon would
"stay off." Hut the bosses and
their machine were afraid of James,
so they forced Gagnon on the ticket.
Nebraska is a republican stale. It
has a goodly majority of republican
voters, of men who stand by and
support republican policies and prin
ciples which have been the founda
tion of national and individual wt tilth
and prosperity. To keep what we
have gained in prosperity it is vitally
necessary to keep republican princi
ples and policies in the ascendancy
In state and nation. This can be
done in Nebraska only by getting the
republican vote in the ballot box on
election day. Nov. 2nd next. This is
the only place where votes win. No
body wants a repetition of d. mo, vat
ic success in Nebraska as repre
sented by the late lamented democrat
ic legislature. Nebraska is republi
can. Let us keep it so by polling the
full party vote In the ballot box. That
is the only place where it counts.
“IS HE COMPETENT?"
Under the above head, with sale
bill type and border, the Falls t'itj
News last week made a frail attempt
to show that Mr. Ueiehers is not com
petent for the office of county treas
urer.
The tabulated amount of charges
as stated in the examiners' state
ment. Mr. Ueiehers was fully aware
existed at tfce time, and they were in
dispute with the state examiners,
hence the fees and commission were
not drawn—the proof of which is on
file.
We do not, nor will voters, see in
the tabulated figures where the least
shadow of ineompeteney was shown;
but. it rather confirms the wisdom of
Riechers—to be long $621.62 in the
cash balance, rather than show a
shortage, which has been the case
with certain predecessors.
THAT COMPARISON.
In a recent issue of the Falls City
News they tried to show by compari
son that Hutchings was more compe
tent than Riechers, for the office of
county treasurer, because the state
board raised the county assessors' val
uation five per cent. They say that
Hutchings saved the county $8,000,
*hen, in fact, Hutchings had nothing
to do with it. It’s absurd!
They said that Riechers cost the
The Opera House.
The operatic and fashionable event
of the week is the appearance of the
Boston Id' al Co. This is indeed a
musical treat for our people. As this
company is so well known, it would
be reiteration to add words dlbout their
ability and reputation. It suffices
to say, however, that a persual of
this company will elicit at once the
interest of the theater goers. Opera
