Reports the Results of .His Investigfa
tioos and Declares the Hypocritical
Candidate Should be Defeated.
For This Statement He ' 'Must Answer at Bar of
Public Opinion and of God and He
Fears Neither Verdict. "
Addressing a large congregation
at the People's church lust night
llev. C. W. Savidge , the pastor ,
took as his subject , "Should We
Consider Morals in Politics , " or
"Shall I Vote for John H. Mick
ey for Governor ? " From scrip
ture the speaker selected the fol
lowing texts :
Exodus , 22:22 : "Ye shall not
aillict any widow or fatherless
child. If thou afilict them in any
wise and they cry at all unto to
nie , I will surely hear their cry. "
Matt. 23 , 24 , 2T "Ye blind
guides which strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel. Woe unto you
scribes and pharisees , hypocrites ,
for yc are like unto white sep-
ulchers , which , indeed , appear
beautiful outward , but are within
full of dead men's bones , and all
tmcleanness. "
The llev. Mr. Savidge suM :
"A word of explanation. Four
11V years ago I held special revival
services at Osceola , Ncbr. , Mr.
Mickey's home town , and at that
time 1 became possessed of facts
and convictions which have re
mained with me ever since , and
which have been deepened rather
than dissipated. And this was
not of ray own choosing. I was
there as a spiritual teacher , tt'ith
the avowed purpose of leading the
church and the community into a
true relation with God. Hence it
was my duty to know and remove ,
if possible , any stumbling block
which would hinder the work 1
came to promote. "
FOUND A STUMBLING liLOCK.
"I found a stumbling block there
and that stumbling block was John
H. Mickey. In order that Finight
do no injustice I have recently
made a second visit to Osceola in
order to inform myself of what I
fully believed to be true.
"Before I attempt to answer the
question before us I am met by a
series of protests.
"FirstProtest A minister should
be silent on all political questions.
I reply I don't believe this. On
all questions involving morality
and the principles of righteousness
the minister should Speak out. The
puipit is a window to let in light.
Jesut applied the gospel , so should
his tru < ; ministers. I um in the
center of my lawful and legitimate
field when I discuss the moral and
spiritual phases of this election.
"Second Protest Mr. Mickey
is a republican. I honor the party
of Lincoln , Summer and Grant.
My father voted for Abraham Lin
coln and marched to the sea with
Sherman , but I say it with a ring
in it , .Nebraska's present governor
does not trot in the same class with
the old wheel horses of the repub
lican party.Ve should choose
men.
CIIAKACTEK ABOVE PAKTT.
"Character is above party.
'Third Protest He is a Mctho-
di.-t. Y-ti can't buy goods on you r
church relation ; church member
ship i.s choip : and otti-n means little.
Mr. Mickey can't go anywhere on
that plea.
* 'Thi fourth protest comes from
Mr. Mickey himself. He says : 'I
am opposed because I am a Christ
ian. ' This is not true. All the
devils in hell respect a true Christ
ian. There is not a lost spirit in
the pit who docs not take off his
hat to the man of piety and virtue.
But there is a hiss and a curse for
him who is false.
"Mornls should be considered in
politicand I shall not vote for
Mr. Alic.key. I will now tell why.
is a little man in a
big place. A governor ought to
be a broad man , with a mind well
poised , with judgment mature ,
-with morals good , but this man is
small. Mis whole history has
nothing noble or inspiring in it.
His supreme egotism and boast-
fulness are proofs of my point.
He rattles ; I can hear his wagon a
mile off.
GRINDS DOWN TIIE FOOK.
"Second He grinds the face of
the poor. If you doubt it , go with
me to Polk county. The present
clerk of the district court of that
county says 'twenty-one years ago
I came to this section a poo * * man.
I bought eighty acres of land on
time. 1 borrowed 8250 of Mr.
Mickey , but it cost me § GLG5 to
get it. Before that business trans
action was closed my Scotch wife
believed that John tl. Mickey was
a monster. '
"The man who thus speaks is an
officer today of the Presbyterian
ehurch of his city and a highly re
spected officer of his county.
"I know a Methodist minister ,
who in extreme need , asked this
man for a small sum of money for
a short time , lie was charged 2i
per cent a year.
"Mrs. John Burgess of Osceola
lost her farm througe his shrewd
management and enormous inter
est. After all was over she said :
'Mr. Mickey , you have got my
last dollar ; how shall I get my
living' The fiaucier replied : 'I
will give you a bushel of potatoes. '
As quick os lightning the outraged
woman replied : 'If you will come
out from behind that desk I will
give you a black eye. '
BIG MORTGAGE FOR SMALL LOAN.
"Joseph Koenig of Valley pre
cinct , Polk county , gave a chattel
mortgage to J. II. Mickey to se
cure the payment of § 36 on the
following property : One straw
barn , chicken house , the half of a
summer kitchen , stairs leading up
the outside of the house , 40 fence
posts , mostly cottonwood and box
elder , and the platform around tin-
well. He also agreed in sii.j
mortgage to give a second mort
gage to secure said debt upon 35
acres of growing crops as soon a- ;
planted , and later he gave the
mortgage , but on19 acres instead
of 35. All of this is a part of the
public records of Polk county.
"In Osceola during the years
1SS2 and 18S3 it was the practice
of tho village board to issue per
mits to druggists to sell malt , spir
ituous and vinous liquors. There
were three of these permits grant
ed , and in each case Mr. J. H.
Mickey signed the petitions that
permits be granted , also the bonds
of the parties to who the permits
were issued. Since those years
there have been no druggists' per
mits issued , but saloon licenses
have taken their places , except at
such times when the majority of
the town has voted against the
sale of liquors.
SOLD POOL AND BILLIARD TABLES.
"J. 11. Mickey loaned a man a
sum of money on billiard : ind POM !
tables in Osceola during the years
about LS90 to 1893. When the
parties who borrowed the money
were unable to pay the debt Mr.
Mickey took the billiard and j nol
tables in payment of thesame ,
stored the outfit in the rear of his
bank anil later refold tiio outfit to
another person , who again opened
a billiard hall in the. town and t'oi
two or three years conducted a
most thoroughly objectionable
place , bootlegging whiskey , beer ,
and making his plase tho hold-out ,
for all the toughs of the comraun
ity. After Mr. Mickey trot hi :
money out of the billiard hall out
fit he went to Lincoln in the in
terests of a bill before the legisla
ture designed and intended to slur
out billiard halls in communities
where the public did not wish them
But even in this case he failed tf
appear before the committee , al
though others who accompanied
him did isll they could to secure the
passage of the law.
CALLS HIM A HYPOCRITE.
. "Third He is a hypocrite.
This is proven by my text and his
conduct. A hypocrite is a man
who makes a great profession
which he does not live up to. A
true Christian does dot have a su
preme greed for gold. Mickey is
a modern Shy lock , who must have
his money or his pound of flesh.
He is opposed to card playing , but
, deals in billiard tables. He fights
dancing with a mad frenzy , but he
robs a poor man who puts up a
{ straw s'hed to protect his cattle
| from the storm. He boasts of his
' charities , but in more than one
case he has appealed to the county
to pay sums which he had bestow
ed. This is a serious statement ,
but it is true.
' "Judd Holcomb , county treas
ures of Polk county ; Mr. J. P.
I load am ! others stand good for
this fact. Having money and in
fluence with those in authority , he
lui5 * caused ministers such as the
"Rev. R. Pearson , now presiding
elder of Hastings district , to leave
the pastorate of the Osceola Meth-
j odist Episcopal church because of
I some personal dislike or affront.
True Christians no not do this
hypocrites do.
I REPUBLICANS ASHAMED OF HTM.
I
I ' 'Fourth Flis own party is
ashamed of him.
"I have have never seen in my
city the substantial men nf the
party so sick of any Jonah. Some
1 are quiet , but they foci the dis
grace. One put it mildly when he
said : 'Mickey is the weak spot in
the republican armor '
"In conclusion , how is it that
i
this mm , neither noble , great nor
good , is foisted upon us ? I answer
'Somebody wanted to use him. '
The people ought to rise up and
teach such factions that it is one
thing to nominate a candidate and
qui'Le another to elect him. For
tiie discussion of the moral si.l.of
this election , I sh ill have to answer
at. two bars that of public opinion
and that of G-xl. 1 fear neither
verdict. ' ' In World-Herald of
October 24 , 1901.

Everyone who knows Win. Butler
speaks highly of him nr a man and
for the office of county commission
er they say he is qualified and that
ho is honest and the riglit man to
elect.
Elmer F. Tifquain , candidate for
representative of ther2ud district ,
drove into town Wednesday morn
ing with Win. Heelan who is an old
neighbor , having known Mr. Yif-
quain for IS years past and for 12
years lived a neigh ior to him in
Keya Paha county. Mr. Yifquain

life of a farmer who tills she sol
and raises stock. Mr. Yifquain vas
I bom in Saline county , this state , in
' 1861 and b-.is lived 21 years in
Keyn , Paha county. No one is
interested in better laws for the good
of our state aul the people of this
vart than Mr. Vifqnmn. He will
visit Cody and Merntnan and other
parts of this county that he is nble
to reach this week. Everyone is
interested in his election. " Try to
moot him and at least give him your
( vote on next Tuesrlav. Elmer ] '
Yifquain's name appears on th
populist ticket only , in ( Jherr ;
count } , as the democrats failed t <
file a certifiicatc with our count ;
clerk of his nomination.
Reports have been circulated bv
' Chas. Bresee , who is a candidate fo ]
state senator against. Chas F. Coffee
that when Mr. Coll'ee was in the
legislature lie voted against live
stock interests. Mr. Coffee has ex
plained to us that the bill he voted
against to which Bresee refers , was
not what the cattlemen wanted , ami
expected to introduce another bill
which would have been satisfactory
and a benefit to the stock interests
but owing to the senatorial fight
which occupied so much time it was
impossible to do anything of the
kind. Mr. Coffee assures us that if
elected he will serve the best inter
est ? of t e people in North-western
Nebraska and that he most surely
would not vote against his own in
terests as a stockmen. Beware of
reports circulated right on the eve
of election. They are calculated to
deceive.
D. Stinard informs us that he has
not sold his horses yet but they
are for sale.

Frank Rothleuiuer went through

Hon. Chas. F. Coffee come down
from Cody on Tuesday's freight and
greeted numerous friends in the in

parties are for Mr. Coffee and should
be. He goes to Merriman from
