SALUTATORY
With this the first issuy of t55s pa
per under its new name of The J
kntixHPiocuat we make our--bow
to the reading public of Yalenme and
Northwestern Nfbraska andasblheir
indulgence while we follow tle time
honored journalistic custom ad air
our hopes and aspirations intents and
purposes and outline the fvilisy -the
paper will pursue under our ananage
meHt
ittelieving that in the success of tlw
democrat party lies the only -hope of
permanent prosperity for theieople of
these United states laborer -farmer
merchant and manufacturer alike-we-shall
to the best of our- ability uphold
and do battle for the principles of that
party but in so doing we shall en
deavor to treat everyone fairly regard
less of political alliliatious vith char
ity to all and malice toward none
23eing a democrat we could not dooth
erwise without proving traitorous to
our party and principles which accord
to everyone the fullest social religious j
and political liberty and recognize no
man as being better than his brother
unless by the exercise of bus ability he
has proven himself superior
The Valentine Democrat -will
uphold the cause of every man who is
unfairly dealt with regardless of yho
the oppressor is or what position he
holds In the light of presentvday
freedom a tyrant is despicable and de
serves the severest condemnation of
press and public -To err is human
and if at times we make mistakes we
will cheerfully rectify them We ac
cord to everyone the right taa free ex
pression of his views and demand
the same right for ourselves and
while our opinions may not always be
in exact harmony with yours we beg
that you give us credit for honesty of
conviction and if you criticize let your
criticism stop short of condemnation i
The democrat party of Nebraska is
in au unorganized chaotic state much
to theregiet of all who have the inter
est of the party at heart and it will be
tur aim to assist in unifying the an
tagonistic elements in this the Sixth
congressional district The party is
practically without au organ in this
section of the slate and to this fact is
ascribable the small vote usually cast
for our candidates for olHee With
the assistance of democrats all along
the line we shall makeTnljEMouiiAT
i paper wluph can De read with inter
est aud profit all over the northwest 1
to attain thakend we ask the aid ot the
-chairmen of the various county central
committees
The democrat party is not dead as
-our republican frtends would have the
unsophisticated believe neither is it
sleeping the grandest political organ
ization ever known cannot die aud its
Iocs are too active to permit it to
sleep The tide of popular favor has
apparently been ebbing from ustbut
the reaction has commenced and when
the ides of November have come
aud gone the democrat party will once
more stand alone- supreme victorious
y without a peer without a rival

Another piece of juggler- has bean
attempted by this republican congress
Inserted into an appropriation bill in
such a manner as to almost escape ob
servation was a clause which would
have compelled the New Mexico terri
torial council to meet in May instead
of December as is the law at present
The deal was engineered by Steve El
kins and was a very smooth piece of
politics the intention being to defer
the sitting of the territorial council
until May so that in the event of the
inauguration of a republican president
next March the council would soon be
in session ready to confirm the ap
pointment of a republican governor
We wish to thank Bro Barker for
the words of good will and fellowship
given us in the last issue of his paper
and we assure him they are appreci
ated and accepfeed in the same kindly
spirit which prompted them AVe do

Finance is the leading- question of
th3 day5 and both the republican and
democratic paries are considerably split
up over free silver bimetallism or
single gold standard The democrat
party is divided on the question un
fortunately and much of the energy
which should be used the com
mon enemy is directed- against each
otner Whatever our individual views
may be we should be abowe all demo
crats The question of finance is not
a state question and should not enter
into state politics The democratic
national convention of 1392 gave us a
platform lipon which to stand and un
til another is given us we should use at
as our basis We have too much faith
in the democrat party to think it will
adopt a straddle or evasive finance
plank at the coming convention in
Chicago We are in favor of souitfl
money and beiieve in the free coinage
of silver if an international agreement
can he effected We believe in the
use of both gold and silver as money
without unjust discrimination against
either A single standard is odious to
to the majority of the people The
platform of the democrat party will be
built with the sentiment of the people
for a foundation L et us not throw
clods at each other but work together
in harmony regardless of minor differ- j

I ventien at Omaha April loth before
commencing -to ballot each candidate
was ailed byname and gave his pres
idential preference together with as
ruuh of his wn political history as
he could reraernber C H Cornell
took advantage of the opportunity
offered when his name ves dalled to
state his views on the Manderson Mc
Kinley embroglio in a very decided
menrier and made an excellent speech
in favor of Mr Manderson calling
the attention of the convention to the
-manner in which the latter had helped
Yalentine nd Cherry county when L
S senator but nevertfotess Mr Cor
nell said he was in favor of McKintey
as long as there was a show for his
nomination Judge Trtclcer said that
he did no recognize the action of the
few nieniu Omaha who effected the
so called compromise and declared
himself for Bill Mclvinley first last
and all - the time C C Jiowring of
Merrimtiu said he had received no
instructions from the friends who
elected him delegate but they had
told him that if he did not stick to
McKinley they would beat his head off
on his return home From this time
on ifcwas a wild scramble to see who
could say most for Manderson and yet
declare himself for Mclvinley After
all had had their say the ballot was
taken and Messrs Mills Watson Cor
nell VPettijohu Bowring and Strong
were declared elected delegates
to the state convention At this point
E J Davenport raised a little storm
by asking that the -count be verified
pome of the delegates thinking that
the request was aariutimation that the
bUot box had beenstuffed Judge
Walcott becoming especially fiery

was passed after which E J Daven
