A. VtORD ABOUT FUSION IN THIS COUNTY
Three popocratic conventions in which the people of this county
are interested have been held , and nominations have been made , and
democrats are wondering what benefjjj they have derived from them.
The first was the congressional convention at Lexington , when if any
spirit of fairness had been shown the democrats should have been al
lowed to name the candidate and received the populist endorsement.
Next came the state convention , when the populists controlled the
machinery of the conventions , and nominated a man who was to say
the least very distasteful to democracy. And then in the face of this
the Fifteenth judicial district conventions held here last Saturday ab
solutely refused to recognize the ? rights of democracy and nominated
two populists for the judgeships. This is a bald statement of , the
facts in the case , and if taken alone , miglnVDe very prejudicial to the
interests f > f the candidates nominated , but there are extenuating cir
cumstances , and these we hope will be considered by democrats ere
they cast their ballots.
It is merely a question of whether we think of fusion only as
(1) ( ) a means of obtaining victory for office , or whether we look upon it
as (2) ( ) a means of obtaining victory for principle , or , which is about
the same , (3) ( ) a means of defeating an absolutely wrong principle. If
\ve regard it in the light of the first propositisri , we certainly lose sight
of the fundamental principles of democracy , and beoome nothing but
politiciaus of the baser sort. If we . .consider the mattev in the light
of the second proposition , we certainly cannot object to the name by
which a man 'designates his political belief , if he can conscientioasly
and will endor.se our p-ineiples as laid down in our platforms. And
even if we look upon fusion from the third standpoint we are forced
to admit that it is a good thing. Arguing thence we see nothing for
democrats to do but support the fusion ticket , though -tne names of
but few partisan democrats appear thereon. It may seem toughn to
those who have come to regard the name "democrat" with affection
but the perpetuation of that name depends upon success , and success
in this portion of the state'at least depends upon fusion.
There is no use denying the fact that many of the democrats in
this county are not entertaining the be3t of feelings toward populism
on account af the facts set forth in the first-paragraph of this article ,
and we hope that our populist'friends will take warning therefrom
and curb their more radical notions when the local conventions are
held. The hope of republicans , whose ideas of government we think
are radically wrong , lies in creating dissensions among the members
of the fusion parties , and the only way we can guard against this is
by having mutual forbearance. In a political family constituted as
ours is , there is bound to be some dissatisfaction over the disposition
of favors , and it won't do for one braijgli of the. family to .biscome
excessive in its demands upon the other.
The hardest fight in the United States , where purely national
questions are involved , will be made in this congressional district this
fall. Bryan is a shining mark.
Every time Bryan turns around to blow his nose the hannacrats
claim he has turned his back upon free silver. He made a speech in
Iowa recently and failed to use the expression " 16 to 1" and the mul
let heads have been having fits ever since.
John IVEuchgall Thurston remained quietly in obscurity while the
contributions for the First .Nebraska's special train were pouring in
but he managed to get his private car attached to the first section as
it was coming home -with the boys. This was patriotism.
It is quite common for republicans to make fun of popocrats and
say they are igdorant , but it remained for a republican lawyer during
Saturday's love feast to admonish his part7 to be careful in selecting
its candidate for the "supreme court of the United States. ' '
I the imperialist candidate for congress makes a speech here * ho
will do well to avoid remarks about sending more soldiers to whip the
Filipinos. The farmers of this county and the merchants of this vil
lage realize very forcibly what ife means to have the soldier boys' away-
from home , and if you touch a man's pocket book you touch him with
a very forcible touch.
The New York Journal sent a special reporter to Nebraska two
or three weeks ago for the special purposeof interviewing William
Jennings Bryan , and through a typographical error Bryan's wealth
was made out to be $250,000 instead of S25COO. The error was cor
rected in the next issue of the paper , but nevertheless the administra
tion organs all over the couhtiy have ever since been denouncing our
leader as a prospective plutocrat , and asking how.he made his moner
in so short a time.
Says the Nebraska State Journal : "The military establishment
maintained by Uncle Sam just now is a pretty expensive aifair , for a
fact , but * * nobody is going to be mean enough to suggest that
the soldiers should have inferior travel accommodations and rations ,
and IN NO OTHER WAY DOES IT SEEM POSSIBLE to make much of a reduc
tion in the expense. " This paper would suggect that the army might
be brought home , reduced in size , or at least not increased , if the State
Journal really desires a solution of the problem.
The Commissioner of Public Lands
and Buildings will offer about 4,200
acres of school land for lease at public
auction at Thedford at the office of the
county treasurer , beginning at 9 a. m.
Sept. 25,1899 , under the following pro
vision of the new school land law :
. If after using due diligence to lease said laud ,
at an annual rental of six serpent upon the ap
praised valuation , the Commissioner is unable
to do so , he may offer the same for lease : t less
than the appraised valuation and leose it to the
oerspn or parsons who will pay six per cent on
the highest offered valuation , as annual rental ,
if in his judgment It is to the best interest of the
state to accept such bid.
Persons desiring to examine lands to
be leased may secure lists of the same ,
showing present appraisement thereof ,
as well as any other information , upon
application to the county treasurer or
by addressing the commissioner at Lin
coln. At the beginning of the auction
the Commissioner will gladly answer
all inquiries in regard to the school land
business or the workings of the new law
The list of lands referred to will be
found on .page fivs of this paper
The Commissioner will hold a similar
auction in Sheridan county , at Rush-
ville. Sept. 5 , Cherry Sept. 7th. Sioux-
Sept. 18 , Box Butte Sept. 20 , Grant
Sept. .21 , Jiooker Sept. 22 , Elaine Sept.
23 , Logan Sept. 26 , Loup and Garfield
Sept. 28.
During this month cattle have . old at
liigher prices on the Chicago market
than they have in the same month for
fifteen years , wh n , in 1884 , the tops
brought $7.35. Tops this month were
sold at S6.G5 , or 70 cents lower.
