A conservative judge as Judge
Parker , of New York , is known
to be , would be praised by the
whole American people. We need
a conservative man for president ,
who will establish confidence and
friendly relations abroad , promote
the general welfare of the great
common people at home and place
the American republic at the head
of all countries in peace and har
mony among its people , who with
voice and example will bring peace
upon earth and good will toward
men.
W. E. Hearst , of New York , is
being indorsed by people in sever
al states at their county conven
tions and delegates are being in
structed for Hearst for the demo
cratic presidential candidate in
state conventions. Nevertheless
Judge- Alton B. Parker , of New
York , seems to be the leading can
didate inlNew York and indications
are that he will have the New York
delegation at St. Louis to back
him.It is possible that the two
leading candidates being from New
York .there will be a clash and that
it will take other states to decide
in which case the man who is most
popular in other states will decide
as to the nominee. But in case
that neither of these candidates
will giye way to the other a new
man may be chosen as a compro
mise candidate. Who will it be ?
Will it be Gen. Miles ?
John C. Sprecher in Iris Schuy-
ler Free tance in speaking of the
wresting of the fair state of Ne
braska from the fusion forces by
the unscrupulous republican
schemers says : "The question
which then comes into ones mind
is what good did that political up
rising do ? " Do" ? Great Heaven
and all that is good and holy ! Do !
The fusion forces snatched Nebras
ka from the most foul set of scoun
drels who ever disgraced this or
any other land on earth ; exposed
Bartley , Moore and a host of ig
noble thieves , embezzlers and ras
cals ; gave to our state -the only
honest administration ver known
in Nebraska since-territorial times
mark well our words "the only
honest administration , " etc. , for
we have been an eye witness on
the ground and know whereof we
speak , and have been personally
acquainted with every territorial
and state officer ever chosen in Ne
braska. If we are not telling the
truth let some g. 0. p. paper point
out where we are in error. . Then
the fusion forces produced some
great and honored men and thous
ands of them in the common ranks
who stood as embattled warriors
in the mighty conflict for better
and purer government among
mankind. We will mention a few
of the names which are engravened
upon the eternal walls of Time in
glittering letters of ever lasting
glory , there to live on and on and
forever shine upon the fairest1
pages of our country's history :
W. J. Bryan , Judge Holcomb ,
Senator Allen , W. H. Thompson , ,
Congressman Kobinson , J. B. Vif-
quain , Patrick Barry , M. F. Har
rington , Smyth , Metcalf , Hitch
cock , ' Beck , Freeman , Sullivan , '
Gov. Poynter , Powers and a host
of other like illustrious and noble
men. The fusion forces did every
thing that could be done for the
betterment of the people. Holt

Gorman of Maryland is not in
the race nor is Grover Cleveland ,
though his name is being promi
nently mentioned and some dele
gates are being instructed for him
in the east. The choice of western
people will be Hearst first if he
can carry equal delegations at
home or in states in the East , with
other candidates showing that he
has sufficient strength to carry N.
Y. and the vote that most generally - .
ally goes with New York's candi
date. Nebraska will support
Hearst and give him a better vote
than to any other candidate but
would give good and loyal support
to either Judge Parker or General
Miles. While our choice would
matter little in this contest , since
Nebraska will not be a deciding
state nor materially change the re
sult either way she might happen
to go , we nevertheless voice the
sentiment for honest administra
tion of affairs as believed in by the
people who ma KB up the conserva
tive element of our country , who
would not plunge into war with
foreign nations upon slight provo
cation nor remain idle while ruin
ous policies were being pursued
by strenuous and volatile minded
persons in power.

from morning to night. 271 votes

whom Pettijohn questioned re
garding a homestead that they
seemed to be holding down and
that , they preferred to protect in
preference to voting in opposition
to Pettijohn. M. V. Nicholson
and P. F. Simons were re-elected
by big majorities. The vote stood :

The baby that was reported born-
to Mrs. Homer Tait two weeks
ago and corrected last week to
Mrs. Wm. Lee , we now desire to
correct again and this time have it
correct from Mr. Campbell that
the child was born to Mrs. Silas
Sears on who is a sister of Mrs.
Lee and Mrs. Tait and all three
are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C.
G. Campbell of this city. We a re
sorry to have blundered so much
in this , but since these women are
sisters we hope they will over
look the blunder. This is one of
the unpleasant experiences of
newspaper life where we get only
meagre reports of a happening at
Srst and later learn that we are
wrongly informed.
