Tlie woman spoken of , having sued
for a divorce claimed that her husband
hail not taken A bath feutwo and a
half years , and persisted in sticking to
the republican p irty , and added that
everybody knew the republican party
was rotten to the dore.
An Election Comparison.
Fusionistsboth populists and demo
crats had the breath knocked out of
them in 1000 NN hen our ticket was do
feated and many of them have not yet
recovered They are pessimistic and
refuse to look beyond the "fact" that a
inujority of votes were cast for the re
publican ticket. Tly will not anal } ze
that vote nor inquire if it were an hon
est vote or a dishoniv t one , nor , if the
latter , will they inquire whether the
siitue dishonest methods may be used
this yt'ajv
That pessimistic spirit gives the op
position a great advantage , for. if the
fusion voters remain discouraged and
demoralized , the vote will be shors
again by reasons of many remaining at
home , and under such conditions re
publicans may win with fewer votes
than we possess , simply because they
cast their full vote while we fail to cast
ours.
It is the votes that reach the ballot
box that count in the election not the
"cornfield vote. "
ANALYZE THE VOTE.
There has never been a day since our
victory in 18U6 when the republicans
have had a "majority" of the votes in
the state. True , they have a majority
of the votes that were ' 'cast" m two
elections , but that is because they cast
theirs while ours remained at home
and iu one election , because they im
ported many thousand illegal votes.
LET us SEE !
The vote in 1896 for governor was :
Fusion , 115,000 ( using round numbers ) ;
Hep. , 102,000. Fusion majority , 13.000.
IM 18U7. fusion 102.000 , Kep. , 89.000 ;
fusion majority , 13,000. ( Each side
had 13,000 stayat home voles , leaving
the majority the same as before ) In
1S9S , fusion 95,000 , Hep. 92,000 ; fusion
majority , 3,000. ( Here the fusion vote
was 7,000 short of 1897 , while the re 1
publican vote recovered 3,000 of their
former shortage of 13,000 or , in oilier
words , the } ' brought out 3 OOU of their
btay-at-home vote. )
Iti 18U9 the vote stood on supreme
judge , fusion 109,000 , rep. 94,000. >
( Here the fusionists recovered or
brought out 14l , > 00 more votes than iu
1S93 , whiiu the republicans brought
out only 2,000 additional of their stay-
at home vote , thus raising the fusion
majority to 15,000.
VOTE OK 1900.
W wish now to call special atten
tion to the surprising and uuusal con
diiion wherein fusionists cast more
votes in ileffat iliuu they formerly CUM
ivhen victorious.
Look nt the figures !

the f'yjsiofl vptf K
years by 10.000 , 17,000 and 3,000 re
spectively , but the republican vote was
higher than the republican vote of for
mer years by 24.COO , 21,000 and 19,000
respectively.
In 1900 , about 2.000 voters were in
the Philippines. Assuming that half
were fusionists. they , with the 2,000
( approximate ) iniddle-of-the road or
Deaver vote , part of which was cast
direct for the republican ticket , when
added to the Poynter vote would swell
that vote to the highest point reached
by the fusion vote in 18U6 , when it
was 115,000.
Now if we substract the republican
share of the Philippine vote from their
vote in 1890 , we have left 101,000.
Now add the thousand "reader" vote
they took direct from us and it restores
the probable republican vote to 102ooo ,
as its highest legitimate vote. But
they polled 113.oooIt is well known
that the vote was not so fully cast iu
19oo as in 1896 ; and if we allow only
2ooo of thete for republican stay-at-
home votes , we would have had a total
of 115ooo.
Where did the extra 13ooo , over the
vote of 181)0 ) come fromv
Let us figure another way.
The "total" vote for "both" parties
in 1896 was 218ooo , In 19oo it was
226ooo. If now we add the Philidpiue
vote of 2ooo , and the universally ad
mitted staj-at-home vote of ( approxi-
uiatelj * ) 3.ooo and we have had with a
full 231ooo , or 13 ; < KK ) more than tha
highest previous total vote of 218,000 ,
Where did the extra 13ooo , vote come
from ?
THE IMPORTED V TE
When the census of 19oo was taken ,
the political manager lequired the
census enumerators to J ke a separate
and complete political poll. This could
generally be doue by consultation with
the local political manager , but some
times the questions touching party
matters were asked direct. Every
person who had formerly lived in Ne
braska Was located , if possible. His
politics was ascertained , and during the
summer months when the party poll
was taken it was ascertained the re
publican party was short , as usual ,
about 15ooo votes When the conven
tion was held , no one expected repub
licans to win. They themselves ex
pected defeat and put up Dietrich and
Savage as stool pigents to be beaten and
thus cleared out of the way of others in
the future. However , Mr. Ilanna
wanted to take the state from Mr.
Bryan and he also needed the two
United States Senators that would be
elected by the incoming legislature. Ic
will be remembered that Mr. Ilanna
came to Nebraska nearly sixty days
before election. Immediately signs of
a-jtivity were seen on every hand The
spring poll book was gone over and
eveiy republican voter who had form
erly lived in Nebraska was brought
home from Colorado , Idaho , Washing
ton , Montana , Illinois. Ohio , Washing
ton , D , C. , and from wherever else they
had migrated they were brought home
o& free transportation ( and paid for
their time where necessary ) and their
votes were cast and counted for the re
publican ticket. There is scarcely a
voting precinct in the state vliet-p. o d
residents cannot go lo iliu p > n t > -K- . > f
19oo and pick out from one to twenty-
live such names.
Does this explain where the extra
13.ooo came from ?
There are no seuatorahips at stake
this year. Bryan is not an issue. There
is not the motive existing for the pur
chase of the venal nor for the importa
tion of the outside votes this year.
True , the corporations will strive to
win , having much at stake locally , but
there is no reason to expect wholesale
bebauchery such as was practiced iu
19oo.
The vote last year was light all
round and forms no fair basis of com
parison , but comparison should be made
with a year when a similar ticket is in
the Held.
In the light of the above facts , the
Central I * armer firmly believes that the
fusion vote is fully lo.ooo greater in the
-tate tl an the legimate republican vote
after allowing for some change of the
'roader" vote , and therefore the only
thing necessary to secure a triumphant
victory is a full vote on election day.
Let every energy then be devoted to
th : t end. Explain to your friends the
conditions stated above. It will re
store strength to iJm weak and vigor
to tl.e nervous ami will pave ihe way [
for a glorious victory. Central Farmer.

Mr. s.nd Mrs. J. A. Sparks retuined
yesterday morning from a visit with
Mr. Sparks' parents.
Why should the citizens of our
county patronize or waste any time
with an outfit that comes alontj with
a car load of hupffies on which they
pay no taxes nor in any way benefit
the people of Cherry county. Should
yourbu sfy prove unsatisfactor } ' they
are too far away from you to be call
ed back to make things rijjht. Your
local dealer can supply you and is en
titled to a share of your patronage.
If you buy at home you are sure that
any defects will be made right , and
your local dealer can sell to you
cheaper than these parties , who must
traverse the country in search of a
customer. Why is it that these men
come suddenly upon us without rec.
ommendation or introduction ? Why
don't they handle their goods through
a local dealer here , who is willing to
handle the best goods the market
affords , and it they have a superior
line of buggies they would not need
to peddie them in the wav these men
do ? It is good policy to deal with
men you know and who will be with
you as a guarantee and will sell you
cheap buggies it you want them or
can get you the best buggy that is
made at a reasonable price , and will
get it for you any time that you want
it. Don't be humbugged by strangers.
