There is consternation in the re
publican camp about their man mickey
whom most of the G. ( ) . P. papers have
given a cold shoulder and try to run
the ticket through with common freight
cars and dead weight like Weston and
Fowler. They realize the hopelessness
of their attempts to get up any en
thusiasm for their man mickey who
appropriated the interest of the County
money while he was treasurer. You
may now look for them to tell you what
a nice line of fello\v& they have on the
remainder of the ticket.
The Valentine Republican came out
covered with gall and a sour stomach
last week and in the bitterness of its
stomach we think a realization of its
own condition w&s Imlched up along
with a lot of sourc.l potatoes and
desperate gasps and gags. We quote
the following article irom one of its
editorial attempts.
USUALLY the fellow without a
thimble full of brains , who by some
hook or crook manages to get hold of a
paper and have his name appear as
editor , overestimates his wisdom , im
portance and greatness to the extent
of continually making a fool of him
self.
Here's another stiff. , , The fusion
crowd advocates any-thiug that appar
ently has the stamp of popular favor
uuon it , regardless of whether or not it
is beneficial or detrimental to the
people as a whole. It has no issue and
therefore willing to drift with the wind
in the hope of finding political success
some where or some how. " What is
Kinkaid's issue ?
There is not a man on the Democratic
ticket this fall but that are the most
highly respected in their communities.
Their honesty has never been ques
tioned. They are men of untarnished
character and their superior ability fits
them for the offices respectively for
which they are nornenated. There are
no sacrifices to bo made. None has
been offered. We have no renegades
to be pulled through or dropped. All
are clean men of sterling ability and
there is no issue that we are trying to
dodge nor men kept in the back ground
to do the dirty work. Gentlemen , you
know the record of the republican
party and the disgraceful actions they
for * ' their fruits
have been guilty of 'By
ye shall know them. * '
There seems to be a combined effort
oil the part of the republican press as
though coming from some dictation to
down W. II. Thompson for Governor
because the saloon element won't sup
port tneir may mickey. It really looks
like a banter to get tho saloon vote &o
as to keep them still. As a matter of
fact everyone who knows any thing
about Mr. Thompson at all knows
very well that he never drinks intoxicat
ing liquor at all and is and has been
always a moral upright man. Mr.
Thompson has ahvaj s oeen regarded i
BU honest man and the title "Little
giant" of Grand Island only in part
describes the ability of the man. It is
not a titlu that insignificant fools can a
bMittle though you find them arrayed s
aeainBt every thing elevating and
perscms Whom they dannofc hdp'a id r ,
down.
We received a copy of the American
wfc
wrapper "Marked Copy" . We looked
through the sheet again and again only
to find every article headed in bold
faced tpye trying to defend the tariff.
The truth of the matter is evident
that when you strike at the tariff you
strike at the so called trusts in the most
effective manner. We have long won
dered why some able statesman did not
take up the cause of the people and
work to the end of destroying the traiff
which has caused no revenue and has
only been the means of fostering a lot
of monopolies , that continue to thrive
at the expense of the purchasing public
who are compelled to pay the price of
the article plus the tariff. Why is it
that we find so many of the people
striving to do something for some men
of wealth or some corporation of greed.
It is not the same condition expecting
the advent of an orator to arouse the
people to their senses that they may see
these conditions and work to destroy
them as in the case of an orator work :
ing to advance the interests of these
monopolies he can expect a consider
ation in cash that will pay for the wants
and necessities of life and will be
laudcil to the skies as a statesman. He
will be given every opportunity to re-
presen.the'people with the help and
aid of .all institutions that are rememb
ered in the stateman's service and he
will be even brought from a farm that
it might be said of him ' 'he is a farmer"
and can't you trust him to work for
your interests ? In some cases he be
comes a non-resident and paying no
taxes where he expects his support.
Where is the man who will come to
the rescue of a down trodden people
and will help to expose the tariff manip
ulators whose every interest is to foster
monopolies and thereby reap their share
of the reward for tapping the con
sumer. Their are numerous schemes
for making money out of the people
but this is the boldest of all , and though
not a new thing to any Democrat of
early times , there seems to be a great
many people who have continually
ignored the tariff question aud especial
ly of late years. The republican party
should have been beaten on the money
question but for the division of the
Democrats on the Silver question. The
G. O. P. was beaten on the tariff ques
tion by Tilden in 76 again by Cleveland
in 8-i and 92. Though the Democratic
leaders may divide as to some issues the
core of the Democratic party is and has
been'Equal rights to all and special
privaleges to none" and to serve the best
innerests of the great masses of people
rather than laws which protect a few
who might be termed as govermeut
pets and issue such protection as
Amounts to the great monopolies Which
plunder the people to enrich themselves ,
with a claim that it is to pay higher
wages to laboring men. The following
from the World Herald quoting from
the State Journal is interesting.
The Lincoln Journal has something
to say of "the smash of 1893" attribut
ing that4-smash" to the Wilson tariff
bill passed by a democratic congress.
The Journal says :
When the Cleveland administration
md the democratic congress of ' 93
indertook to reform the tariff the cut
ivas so very slight in the opinion of j
Lhe Cobden club variety of reformers j
: hat they swore like iu a m.v m
Flanders at the "traitors" who had
lisappointed them.
The fact is the democratic leaders
; ut all that they dared , and they
lared .too much , for the business in
vests of the country were instantly
n-ostrated , and there was no recovery
mtil four years later , when the tariff
vas put back. The proposition of the
rust smashes goes a great deal far-
her , for it is absolute free trade for
) roducs now handled by great corpo-
atious. The smash of 1893 would be a
rifle compared with the destruction
if industries contemplated by these
eatherheads who favor that sort of
evision.
The Journal should keep its history
n straight.
The smash of 1S93 did not occur
nder the Wilson bill.
it occurred under the famous McKiu-
jy bill.
The McKiuley bill went into effect
ctober 1 , 1890.
The Wilson bill did not go into effect
ntil August , 18U4.
The great financial depression , to
'hich the Lincoln Journal relers oc-
i
urred under the republican tariff bill
hich was in force from Octobei 1 1890.
Qtil August , 1894. c

An effort is being made at this time
i Cherry County to get votes for Judge
.inkaid as representative in congress , I
jou the ground that he can secure \
rger appropriations of money for 5c
art Niobrara than his opponent c
eneral P. H. Barry. This is a bunco
ime. Any intelligent man who rea o
ms upon the question will see how a
msy the claim is. General Barry has . v
distinguished record as a Union
s <
Idler and has been for si < years
ajutunt General of the State of Neb-
Ska , and for four years first Vice b
esident of the National Guard As- s
ciation of the United States , and f (
i ring two years has been the actiifg o

way he has become entirely familiar
wjth the military men of the United
States and his commanding position
and record would secure him a place
on the committee on military affairs.
Any great concessions made to Fort
Niobrara can only be secured through
the committee on military affairs , and
Judge Kinkaid could not possibly
secure a position on that committee
because he has no qualiiications what
ever for it and no training which would
fit him for the position No other men
in the state is so well qualified foi a
position on the committee on military
affairs as General Barry. One other
congressman , Hon. W. L Stark of the
4th district , is on the committee on
militia , which is less important than
the committee on military affairs and
it is through General Barry's influence
with the military men that this pos
ition was secured for Mr Stark , who
also has a good record in military
affairs , having been Judge Advocate
General of the state for many years.
Because of congressman Stark's mili
tary record and his acquaintance vith
military affairs , he has been in close
touch with the military men of the
uation and has been in a position to
secure nearly any favor that he has
asked from the war department. This
shows the importance of a position on
one of these committees , and it shows
what we may hope for by the election
of so prominent a military man as
General Barry.
We desire to make these facts known
so that the people may not be misled ,
and henceforth if you hear any man
urge that Judge Kiukaid can render
as good service to the people in this
matter it is safe to set him down as
nn ignoramus or a knave. Such a
baffoou is entitled to the horse lauirh
at least This question ought to be
settled on broad , patriotic and in
telligeut lines and without resort to
peanut politics. We invite your co
operation and assistance in the elect
ion of General Barry and ask you to
lid us in getting the truth before the
people of this county.

A couple of smooth looking men have
been in town the past week trying to
sell a lot of buggies. We don't knovr
them and you don't. We don't know
what kind of buggies they sell but we
think it is good policy to buy of vour
local dealer who will be with you the
year around as a guaiantee that the
goods you buy of him are all right.
The same advice will apply to other
lines of business as well
W. H. Weekes who worked on the
Valentine DEMOCRAT since last spring
until the last of August has now
gotten out a paper which he calls the
Valentine News , and has sent it to
names which he probably copied from
the list of the .DEMOCRAT while at
work as a printer for us. From the
fact that he has played unfair with us
we cannot say many good words for
him His qualifications as a printer or
sarcastic bragadocio will not compare
with his ability in the G. A. W. order
He may succeed in forcing his paper
onto the people for a time but it will be
only a question of time until his paper
will be rejected by the majority of the
people. There may be a class of
people who rank with the "jiners3 who
iire flushed with excitement for every
new thing that comes along and can't
: est contented without joining every
new organization only to drop back to
; he old reliable when the ilurry of
jxcitement is over.
