ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEBRASKA Delivered on jMloqjaent Address to a jLarge Audience Here Jjast Sat urday Evening and did Much GoGct WImt lie Said When C J Smyth appeared at Cornell Hall last Saturday night he was greeted by as intelligent and en thusiastic an audience as a speaker J could well desire and he appreciated these facts The speaker was introduced by Robert Good who gave the audience a short biography of the visitor and when Mr Smyth arose he was greeted by a storm of cheers His first words showed that he was not a one idea orator as so many who preceded him were but he was fully as much inter ested in our state affairs as in those pertaining to the nation This re ceived the approval of the audience He in succint language showed that by his wise management Governor Hol comb had in two years saved to the state on six institutions under his con trol over 200000 while the republi can board of public lands and build ings had managed to save but 12U00 on the five institutions under their control He spoke at length of the necessity of investing the permanent school funds of the state and promised that if elected he would find a law to compel the treasurer to d so He further said that he favored a valued policy law for insurance companies one which would favor all persons alike sft From this he passed to a discussion of the democratic platforrfli first taking up the supreme court plank as he bad heard that republican speakers had de nounced the criticism ofthat august tribunal As he warmed to his sub ject he became sarcastic so sarcastic in fact that no one has since j spoken against that plank in our platform He said no one had more respect for the supreme court than he but he said -everyone had the right to criticise the acts of its servants When repub licans condemn that plank in bur platform they condemn Lincoln Sum ner and Chase who used far stronger language against the supreme court than does the Chicago platform Next came finance and he intro duced his subject with the remark by Wendell Phillips Sometimes we are so close to a thing we cannot see it Speaking rapidly he made point after point with telling effect showing that the only reason prices had gone down was because the measure of value had been increased and beautifully scored the republicans because they offered no remedy for our present ills but the one expression Have confidence The democrats and populists present a remedy which ean be understood His explanation of the meaning of value was most lucid and apt saying that it is a thought a subjective not an objective element He reviewed the course of Andrew Jackson when he opposed National Banks and gently roasted the gold standard democrats He took up the question of whether it was right for Bryan to stump the country and said the only reason McKinley did not leave Ohicwas because Ohio has a law which forbids taking mortgaged prqperty out of the state He spoke or internation al bimetallism and poked a good deal of fun at the republicans for this thin subterfuge His arrangement of the McKinley law was fine and he showed how the surplus in the treasurer had rapidly decreased under its operation and madethe charge that Secaetaryi Fos ter was the father of the bond syndi cates he haying obtained 12500000 of gold tromNew York bankers prior to his retirement from office and was preparing to issue bonds when Cleve land was inaugurated Mrs Jarabek and Mrs Bolick who have been visiting the formers daughter Emma Jarabek returned home to Norden yesterday morning Good good3 plus good advertising

attended congressional convention at Norfolk N DivisionAgain The Hyannis Tribune says a written opihiotfhas been obtained from Attorney General Churchill which says the voters of Cherry county can legally ballot on the question of di vision this year and advises the com missioners of this county to submit the question this fail But th county commissioners of this county could not see it that way and in the estimation of The Demo CRATtfchey acted wisely This paper hasfead the letter from Churchill and ifhathe says is true the law which prohibits the resubmission of a division proposition within three years of the time it has once been voted upon is a farce as the question could be sub- mitted every year by simply changing in a slight measure the proposed line of division Grant county had better wait until next year before annexing a part of this ccunty A uiet Wedding In the Donoher parlors Sunday evening Judge Walcott performed the cermony which united for life the hands and

gentleman of ability and promise while the bride is well and favorably known to many of our townspeople A Woman dominated At Ainsworth last Saturday the democrats and populists nominated for county attorney Miss E Mae Davisson of Longpine and it is almost an as sured fact that the nomination of this lady is equivalent to her election This is as it should be and The Democrat congratulates the f voters of Brown county upon the privilege they thus have of voting for a candidate who will fill the office in a manner which will bring a blush5 of shame to the cheeks of most male attorneys Miss Davisson is a young lady about 26 years of age and was admitted to practice before the supreme court last spring having taken a two years course in the v State University law school and passed a highly creditable examination To most people the words woman attorney call up visionsof horror but in this case it Davenport NO 37 3- Who we are CITY DRUG STORE What we are Where we are need not Miss
