C P WILTSE STAND UP AGAIN
The Newport Republican C P
Wiltse editor has made various
charges against E B Brain ex county
treasurer of Rock county who held
his offiVe by virtue of democratic votes
among them being that of issuing re
ceipts for taxes but failiug to credit
these taxes on the treasurers books
Tvu weeks ago this paper called upon
Wiltse lo piove his charges and in the
last issue of the Republican the follow
ing is found the portion signed by F
S Gorton Jr being in the form of an
affidavit
NOW BKO GOOD YOU STAND UT
And unless you work against Ed
Brain as you -said you would in your
last issue if my remarks could be
nroveu we will have to brand you as
your last weeks issue deserves We
have not the space but know of a doz
en different instances like the follow
ing affidavit that can bo substiant iat
ed aud proven under oath and made
in we believe a hundred mitauces
Mr P S Gorton Jr of Newport pre
cinct Rock count Nebraska bem
first duly sworn deposes and says thai
or Oct 20 1895 he paid his persona
tax to E B Brain county treasurer oi
Rock county Nebraska and received
his receipt therefor for taxes in full
for 1892 Affiant further says that op
or about springof 1896 he received
notice that his tax was due and unpaid
on his personal property tor the yeai
1892 as aforesaid and he found that
he did not have proper -credit for taxes
paid as aforesaid Affiant verily be
lieves that neither himself or thp
county received proper credit for these
faxes as aforesaid Further deponent
saiih not
signed P S Gorton Jr
The foregoing is a very pretty bluff
and on the credulous will have a great
deal of -effect but to those who know
Wiltse and his methods it will be like
pouring water on a ducks buck It
will be noticed that affiant verily be
licocs that neither himself nor the
county received proper credit for these
tares as aforesaid but he doesnt
7 now about it apparently Why did
he not go to the records and see if cre
dit had been giveu Does Wiltse think
tor a moment that voters will believe
rot like that Does he not know that
every receipt given by the county tieas
urer his a stub attached which is
checked by the county commissioners
when settlement is made and also b
the state axaminer How then could
Brain do this thing without detection
i
ii uus ws uone in a imnrirpri nKt m
ces why has not complaint been made
tiefore If complaint had been made
and things found to be as represented
would the present treasurer Of liock
county have sworn to the following as
he did on October 20
This is to certify that duijing mv
time in the County Treasurers Office
which is now a little over nine nonths
I have gone over the books and re
cords very carefully and I positively
assert that I have not found a case
where treasurer Brain failed to enter
up every receipt ou the cash hook and
credit the same to the various funds
Any person can satisfy himself on any
3uch point as the books and records of
the office are always open for inspec
tion and all who desire are invited
most cordially and welcome to come
in at any time and look them over I
take pleasure in saying that I found
the books and records as turned over
by Mr Brain to be iu excellent condi
tion a O Smith
Treas Rock Co Xeb
Mr Smith is a man who is known
and respected by everyone in Rock
county and his simple word would be
taken against the affidavit of a dozen
Wiltses Of Mr Gorton we say noth
ing except that he is misBken
Election day will be gone when this
is printed but we deem it necessary
to present these facts to the voters of
the 51st district in order to raise any
shadow which may rest on Mr Brains
character The Democrat asked
Wiltse for proof and he gives it noth
ing but we oeZtece Stand up C P
Wiltse and prove your charges or we
will have to brand you as your last
weeks issue deserves It is an easy
matter to take Mr Gortons receipt
and the hundred others to the treas
urer have him or yourself examine
the books to see if proper credit is giv
en and if not secure the treasurers
affidavit to that effect if it has not
and there you have your proof
The Democrat is waiting tor it

MIILLIANTS BY JON
Lauren Jones is editor of a depart
ment in the Rnshville Standard which
is called the Gordon Standard and
if Oast weeks productions are a sample
of his future writings hes a daisy
Witness the following gems from his
pen
A man does not need to be a thief to
know that others steal he does not
need to bo ignorant to know that some
others are ignorant and he does not
need to be rich to know what money is
and that the millionaires 1e general
have not come -in possession of their
millions honestly
There are some people who will have
us believe that all of Hrvans support
ers are just a set ot ignoramuses Oh
well some of the worlds greatest
philosophers have proclaimed that it
is better to be right than smart
What a revelation it is to think that
everything on Gods earth fluctuates
and changes value except gold Oh
how reasonable
The aristocracy is now as it always
lias done interpreting that all -who are
poor are ignorant
TO INCREASE SPEED
The latest bicycle sulky invented for
racing is a featherweight contrivance
differing very materially in make and
appearance from the ordinary bike
sulky
This machine is intended to be used
behind trotters and pacers aud the
inventor claims that instead of being
a drag or hindrance to the horse the
new sulky rather aids him in the race
forby its peculiar construction the
new racing sulky gives the horse more
room and freer action at the same time
placing the driver in such a position
that his weight is removed from the
horse aud lifts the animal making
him light footed and therebv increas
ing his speed
The new racing sulky consists of the
usual horseshoe shaped shafts giving
free space for the horse The driver
sits so far behind the axle that his
weight acts as a counter weight to that
of the horsej and is ajnaterial aid in
lifting him The whole structure is of
the lightest possible character The
wheels are twenty four or twenty eight
inches in diameter and are exactl
like an ordinary bicycle wheel Tho
whole weight is balanced on the whel
and is thus entirely removed from the
horse

The Democrat is constantly in re
ceipt of compliments from friends and
st rangers too and last week has fur
nished more than usual For instance
read the following extract from a let
ter written us by a geutleinan who is a
total stranger to us After speaking
of the amount enclosed he says
Your politics are away off but you
are making the best paper in Cherry
county and we will stay with you as
long as you hold the paper up to the
present standard
That means that this paper has a
subscriber who will stay by it as long
as the paper lasts because The Demo
crat has no intention of sinking be
low the present standard It will
raise the standard shortly
The ground was covered witfc about
six inches of snow yesteiday morning
It was a very wet snow and lay very
com past upon the ground and as the
ground was not frozen at all all this
moisture will be readily absorbed by
the soil It is predicted by old timers
that this winter will witness the heav
iest snow tail lor many years in this
country in which event next year
would see another old time wheat
crop in North west Nebraska Hut no
man should depend upon crops alone

The Orange Judd Farmer the best
American authority upon general
crops has just published a review of
the potato crop of the Uuited States
The total acreage in the United States
in 1896 is put at 2805100 acres the
average yiekl SG bushels per acre and
the total yield 245480000 bushels as
against 297700000 in 1SD5 This
wotita indicate a aecrease in tno gen
eral yield of 52000000 bushels
The farmer also shows that theie is
a shortage in the Canadian crop this
year compared with last of over 13
000000 bushels which is a larger pro
portional decrease than that in the
United States The Parmer regards
the outlook for better prices quite fa
vorable not only on account of the
shortage in the United States and in
Canada but in European countries
the repoits from which are discourag
ing as to the supply
The meeting of the National Cut
and Wire Nail Manufacturers Asso
ciation held in New York last week
was merely the usual meeting for the
month There wa nothing sensation
al about it It was held for the usual
purpose What is politely called a
National Association is really the
Nail Trust It is so organized that
half a dozen men from various cities
meeting in a private parlor in Now
York fix the price of every nail driven
in this country That is all It is very
simple There is no longer anything
extraordinary about it It is now the
usual thing
As this page of the paper goes to
press the Great American Voter is ex
ercising his right of suffrage and in
Valentine all is serene A large vote
is being polled and everybody is inter
ested as they have never been inter
ested before This struggle means
much to the people of the United
States as a people and to the nation
