CAMPAIGN TONIC.
The great chemical laboratory
is again in full
operation at . re -
publican state headquarters.
The new ingredient of prohibi-
tion is being used in i the making
of the medicine and the chief po-
litical chemist is busily engaged
in compounding ; this years' supply
and forwarding it to the sorely af
flicted editors of the p. g. o. p.
persuasion.
The similarity of these decoc-
tions and the regularity of their
appearance speak well for its
&tive properties for certain
prevalent ills. In fact , we are as
sured that they are a specific for
that disorder of the intellect that
impels many prohi-republican edi-
tors to tell the truth.
Their campaign tonic also fur-
nishes ready relief for that tired
feeling that besets them when
they grasp their pencil and at-
tempt to demonstrate to an anxious
constituency that problem in per
cent and prove beyond cavil that
it was 51 per cent progressive and
49-per cent standpat , instead of
the reverse.
It also furnishes an effective
stimulent in the unravelling of
several other knotty questions ,
sush as :
"Will the opportunity to make
promises to an enlightened con-
stituency before election , only to
break them after election , go on
for ever ? Or will it be stopped at
, once and effectively ? "
And again :
, "Which is the least obnoxious :

wiles and worn the accoutrement
of a cowboy until early manhood
and then to have discarded them

, who erroneously imagine that God 1
has especially designated them the

zeal is tempered with a mildness
that commands respect- , but , as
the contest advances , they seem
to lose : all patience and all regard I
for ! the command ] , "Love Thy I
Neighbor as Thyself. " Their
bosoms become filled with rancor
and they grow to hate their op-
ponents with ' an intensity that
would be appalling if the modern
world had not learned to know
that there will be no "thumb
screws" or flame enwrapped pyre
brought into action.
No ! Intellectual advancement
has now attained that stage where
the selection of victims for sacri-
fice , is confined "those persons
having the temerity to seek to
serve the public in some official
capacity , and , the mode of ' pro
cedure consists in the playful pas-
time of assassinating character.
The binding of the innocent
wives and daughters of reputable
men on the rack of sorrow ; the
stabbing of souls who have not
sinned , that the humiliation of
their dearest protector may , by
some process of political alchemy
not yet : made clear by the phi-
losophers , aid their rivals in se-
curing an office that perhaps their
own merits would not entitle them
to.
A - Traveling Man on Dahlman. oS
%
There has long been a sort of
quiescent sentiment of -"the state
against Omaha and Aldrich is busy
placing fagots under the cald-
ron and stirring up the contents
with the stick of vituperation.
Now , while it is a fact that Mr.
Dahlman has been careful not to
attack the personal character of
Aldrich , tht latter has been persis-
tent in his attacks upon the demo-
cratic candidate.
Mr.V. . J. Smith , an old-time
traveling man , met the . editor on.
Wednesday of this week and shec
considerable light upon the tactics
of Aldrich. Said Mr. Smith :
"On Monday ! night was in Loup
City and , as time passed none too
fast , I made up my mind to go and
I
hear this man Aldrich speak.
"Say that guy can sling mud at
such .a pace that Ty Cobfr and ' Lajoie
would give up the task of getting a
rap at it with a good old , hickory bat.
"Said Aldrich , referring to Jim
Dahlman : 'My opponent says I
have had three wives. That is not
so. I have had but one , but God
only knows how many women
Dahlman has had. He won't tell-
because he probably can not remem-
ber. '
"That is just- about the smelliest
piece of campaign argument I have
ever run across. "
"To be frank with you , I had not
clearly made up my ' mind which
candidate I would vote for until I
heard Aldrich ease himself of. that
bit of nastiness. That made a
Dahlman man of me on the spot ,
and I go't up and walked out , for I
had expected to hear something in
I the way of argument that might
convince me that county option is a
good thing for Nebraska was
willing to be convinced , but I didn't
care to hear a candidate for gover-
nor spew ' a mess of nastiness on his
opponent.
"I haven't any notion that this
man Dahlmau is what Teddy calls a
mollycoddle , but any time his per-
sonal character won't shine up
bright and clean alongside that of
Aldrich , I am just j going to take my
ball out of the political game en-
tirely.
"I am acquainted with neither
Dahlman nor Aldrich , but I will say
.
for the former I really believe he is
too much of a man to indulge in
questioning the personal chaotity of
his opponent. All you have to do
is to look into that cold blue eye of ;
Dahlman's and you will know that
\ ou are standing in front of a man
that will fight you ; a man that will
play the string through with you in
any way you want to , so long as
you do not drag in the . name of
pure women.
I "No , Dahlman is not that kind of
I of a man. A chap that will go
gunning for the man who wronged
his sister is too chivalrous to drag
the names of either good women or

bad ones into a political campaign
- he bimply isn't built that way.
'Dahlman is open and above-
board. He loves his friends. and
lets his enemies know that they can
get a game any time they are look I
ing for it. Yet , he is too : big a-man
mentally to stoop to the little
things : that Aldrich does.
"We know where this man Dahl-
man stands-and that is the kind
of a guy I want to have get my vote ,
I
and he will get it , too , if I have to
layoff to vote for him.-The
Mediator.
Dahlman ; and Aldrich.
( Kearney Democrat. )
The Democrat has hesitated a
long time and has been undecided
in its own mind which of the two
candidates for governor is most
worthy of a vote at the election in
November. There are things
which Mr , Dahlman stands for
which we are strongly opposed to.
But we have never supported any
man for a high public office who
stood for what we regarded as
perfection. Every man who has
an honest' conviction upon public
question and policies cannot fully
agree with all of his neighbors.
That would be unnatural. We
have supported a great many men
for governor in Nebraska , and so
has every other man , both demo-
crat and republican , who proved
themselves wholly unworthy to
unlatch the shoes of James C.
Dahlman. Until we read the letter
of the Rev. Mackay : of Omaha ,
published recently in the World-
Herald , we were undecided , but
when the Ilev. Mr. Mackay de
manded that the other candidate
publish to the world his past life ,
and it has been done , we believe
the Rev. Mr. Mackay struck the
true key to the situation and it
will find" response throughout the
state among all men who abhor a
demagogue , or one who is working
a spasm of reformation in order to
defeat a man who has no sin to
conceal and no virtue to extol , but
who is just as you find him , frank ,
.open and honest. Were it within
our power we would cause Mr. : .
Dahlman to correct or modify ! his
one utterance regarding the day-
light saloon law , and with that
single correction we would give
him our support. We want him
to state that HE WILL NOT
SIGN A LAW REPEALING
THE 8 O'CLOCK CLOSING
LA \V , and that he will permit no
no man to violate it if possible to
prevent. His attitude regarding
the county option measure is a
matter left entirely with the peo-
ple of the state to determine at the
polls by the election of the legisla-
ture and is not a political measure
far Mr. Dahlman is
so as concern-
ed. His party platform is not in
favor of the measure , and the con-
vention that made the platform
was almost unanimous against it.
If the people the state are in
sympathy with the county option
movement , it is up to them to elect
a legislature that will create such
a law. If they fail to elect a legis-
lalure l strong enough to adopt it
after the declarations made by Mr.
Dahlman , but elect Mr. Dahlman
by their votes as their chief execu-
tive at the same time , it is very
evident that the people do not
want county option , and if they
do not want it , they should not I
have it , simply ' because we or some
other person wants it.
There is always more or less
demagogy in this moral reform
business , especially when it comes
from men whose lives have been
of such a cosmopolitan condition
as often to be.the very cause of
calling' , for these moral reforms. .
As a great moralist , or as a great
reformer along the good and nar-
row pathways that lead to loud
praises from the pulpit and purists ,
we have never until this year
heard Chester . '
H. Aldrich's name
sung in gladsome praise by our
Doctors of Divinity , and we have
failed to discover anything he has
done along the God. and morality
lines that has made him a mark of
distinction except to secure the
republican nomination for govern-
or. But we remember that there
have been others who received the

republican nomination for govern-1 I
or , for instance Charles II. : Deit- ,
rich , and not so very long ago , } 1 '
ither , " and these same moralists '
I'
supported Deitrich with as much
vim as they are now supporting
Aldricb. There may be a d istinc-
tion . , but not very much differance.
As we understand it , four years ,
ago this same Aldrich was leading
the legislature in a dead fight
against this same county option.
Was he really honest in his efforts
then , or is he really hrnest now ?
Then he was not a candidate for
governor , and now he is. Do you
think that would make any qifl'er-
ence ? .
As man sized up with man , we
think Dahlman is just as much a
man as Aldrich , and capable of
just as good things , yet we have
no fault to find with the man , be
he democratic or republican , who
is honestly in i favor'of county j
option and believes he is voting :
his priciples in this matter by vot-
ing for Aldrich. But how an-old
school populist , who was fought
to a standstill and maligned and
slandered and abused like a pick-
'pocket-by the republican party , its
platforms and its _ members , can
meekly bow his head and lick the I
republican politician's hand at this
stage .of the political game is the
most palpable exposition of dema-
gogy that we have witnessed for
many a year.

County Option does not mean
prohibition , but if it is defeated
and Dahlman gives us two years
wide open , this will do more to
hasten state wide prohibition than
anything else.-Rushville Recor
der.
der.Th
The Aldrich forces nrould meet
with more success in fooling the
people , by their claim that county
option is not prohibition , if they
were not continually contradicting
themselves. The above clipping
indicates that its writer is just
shuddering at the thought of pos-
1
sible prohibition. It is not clear
just what is meant by "two years
of wide open" inasmuch as con- I
I
ditions will remain as they are
should county option be defeated. ; '
But here is another from one of j
their leading sources of inspiration.
In enumerating its arguments . .
by paragraphs it says :
Fourth - The cause of temper
ance is in jeopardy in Nebraska.
In 1890 the chance to get prohi-
tion was not improved. Twenty I
years later at least one long s.tep
towards temperance is again pos- I
sible. If after the experience of
1890 another failure is recorded
the temperance condition of Ne-
. braska will be well nigh despond :
ent.For desponC-1
For these reasons w < ? call upon
every right minded man in Ne-
braska to come to the. front , and
in season and out of season , until
the vote is taken and counted to
work to rescue that great common-
wealth from the python of the
liqupr trade- Central . Christian
Advocate.
Now it must appear to all those
who are not "right minded' " that
to the county optionists , the terms
temperance and prohibition stand
for one and the same thing , Web
ster to the contrary notwithstand
ing. No , county option is not
state wide prohibition , it is but the
dizzy top of the toboggan , . . slide
that leads down to it and nowhere
'
-
else. "
