The heavens are clear and God's ) ' sunshine still falls where it should. . . 'I' : No denial has been made to the , fact , stated and , ! I proved by } Ir. Hitchcock , that his loan from Bartley was \ . . but $2,000 , borrowed at a time , four years before he de- I , : ' faulted , when he was a banker and money loaner at \ ! ' Atkinson , Neb. , and for every dollar of it one hundred cents and interest was returned. ' ! . . The $3000 note that figures in this conspiracy to I ; : traduce an honest man was given by Mr. Hitchcock to , an Omaha banker and secured by a second mortgage on I Valuable property. This banker disposed of the note to Bartley. It was during the hard times of the early nine- ties when , the "interests" were reaching out in an at- tempt to either purchase or strangle every , important progressive : newspaper , and Mr. : \ Hitchcock was strain- . ling ; ; every nerve to keep the \ , World-Herald the only , -important democratic daily in ' the middle west , afloat. . . ' He , as well' as other business men who passed through th & t crisis , was borrowing money everywhere and prop- . erty after propeety that he had placed as security for . these loans was lost. ' i ' - The holder of the first mortgage covering the prop- erty that secured the $3,000 by a second mortgage , fore- I closed , and neither the banker , who originally held . the 5 ' 1 t note , or Bartley ] , who had come into possession of i $ { ap - , I peared to protect their interest and the property was lost , 1 to" Mr. Hitchcock and the $ ,000 : , was lost to the holders i of the second mortgage. II During this procedure time had passed and the note ' _ i had.by limitation become uncollectable by the law gov- I erning such matters. Yet , . Mr. Hitchcock voluntarily t I - called it in and made such settlement for the amount as I hCwas able to do at the time. These are the facts that II have : caused the house of cards , planned and built by . Howard - B rtley- Burkett & Co. , to fall.

Mr : Dahlman's life from his birth to the the' ' pres ent mo.ment , has been passed -through the crucible of ; publicity.

" I Now it may be excusable on the -plea of naturalness for really good people to sometime entertain an over I estimation of their own righteous qualities and be able ! to thank God that they are "not as others , " but when ' they wade out into the mire of politics to help sink the aforesaid "others" they , very soon / discover that , accord- ing to the rules of the game , they "are required to shed holy benediction upon the heads of some of their allies , who , from every standpoint , are worse than those . whom they are opposing. This is about the position now occupied by a few Omaha clergymen- have been induced to take up the cudgel for Aldrich , only to find later that he has not only a poker and booze recordbut that he was openly charged nine years ago by the New York papers with having se- cured a woman of questionable character to swear false- ly against his own client , that the " wife of said client might secure a divorce. One has but to follow the state papers in their 'exposure of this solacious scandal to find that the other ox is being gored. Tom Dennison knows his men when he supports Aldrich and opposes Dahlman.

TALOYR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR S CONGRESS , 6TH STRICT W. J. Taylor , who will deliver an address at the ' court house in Valentine this evening , is a homesteader himself and has undergone all the hardships incident to the early settler. But , without intending any flippancy , we feel safe in asserting that he is not "Kinkaider. . " The alluring proposition held out to the poor settler by a law that places an $800 mortgage on his land to start with , by way of required improvements , is not the best law governing the situation that might have been enacted. This would have been reasonable for 640 acres of rich , black soil , but by the nature of conditions sur- rounding the Kinkaider , his holding must comprise more or less sand , and it is too much for him to pay and should be-reduced to some semblance of reasonableness. That a struggling homesteader should be compelled to pay | 1.25 per acre for a 'Jcla 111 that , with the second and third choices , may easily be 90 per cent sand and valuable only for grazing , is preposterous. It is all that was ever exacted for the rich prairie farms anywhere in the United States under the plain homestead law. A movement will be started in the coming congress , if its members are chosen in the interests of the people instead of the "system , " to reduce the cost of Kinkaid homesteads to their owners to an amount somewhere near that which the government would receive from a sale of the land l. to the highest bidder before the Kinkaid- er enhances itvalue by his labor , the results . of which should accrue to him alone. . . . . . - W. E. HALEY. , V. E. Haley's ' candidacy for state senator is gaining in strength as the campaign progresses. His long resi- dence and extended acquaintance in this section of the state , have given him a host of friends throughout the district who are enthusiastic in their desire to have him where his industry , integrity and business qualifications can be used to the advantage of the people of the north- west counties and the state in general. Mr. Haley is not only busily engaged" himself in making his campaign along honorable lines , but is con- stantly receiving letters of encouragement and assurance from all parts of the district , to the effect that he is not being forgotten and that the name , ' T. E. Haley , for state senator , will be honored with a number of crosses on election day that will constitute a splendid majority over his opponent. . , . . . . J. F. NAYLOR. J. F. Naylor , our candidate for county comrnlssion- er for the Third district , is spoken of favorably all over ' the district and his'election seems certain. Mr. Naylor is a Cherry county farmer and ranchman by occupation , but is temporarily conducting a hotel at Merriman while his children are attending school at that place. To those who know him personally he needs no mention whatever , but to such as do not , we have no hesitancy in stating that his integrity ; and ability make him an exceptionally fit man for the position to which he aspires. No tax- payer of Cherry county will have cause" . to regret having cast his vote for J. F. Naylor on November 8th. ' . . ' ' - - - - For land commissioner do not overlook W. B. East- ham. , Ben H.

Ruby , democratic candidate for county attorney , returned from his tour of political inspection through the greater part of the county , Tuesday of this week , and wears a smile of confidence that bespeaks suc- cess in the contest to be decided November 8. His absence in the field during the past month stamps him as an indefatigable worker , and , as industry is one of the virtures that the voters of Cherry county " " \ . have made up their mind to demand of the county at. ' ( . torney who shall be elected this fall , there can be no f doubt but that Mr. Ruby will be there with the goods. ' As to the other qualifications that should be possessed by one holding this position , there has never been any question as to his fulfilling all requirements. His legal education is of the highest order , his ability is admitted , . his habits are temperate and his character unimpeach ! able. A for Mr. 1vote Ruby will never prove to be a case i of misplaced confidence. I I _ n. _ _ _ , _ _ _ _ n _ _ ' IS ; , r : O - - , _ _ _ _ u _ _ _ _ , ; ; -r HON. JOHN F. CARR / , t . 1// State Representative , , 52nd District . , . . , ' . , - Candidate for Re-election. We call your attention again , to Hon. John F. Carr for representative because of our particular need of him. We do not wish to worry or annoy our readers with over , ' zealousness upon our part for this or that candidate for . office. . The fact is that the democratic ticket all through is composed of choice men , especially fitted and qualified for the offices to which they are aspiring and it is our duty to call particular attention to their capabilities and ' place them before the public , showing their estimable qualities and why they should not be overlooked at the election. If , through any fault of ours , one of our candidates should not be properly placed before the people and he - 'defeated because of some unknown fact or want of. knowledge of his qualifications , or our particular need of ' . . just such a man to represent us , then we have greviously erred but not intentionally. Mr. Carr is our present representative and the peo- . ple know him. They also must know that he has made good and is entitled to return for a second term , not be- : cause he asked for it , but because we asked it of him and : we believe the people are fully prepared to give him a . big vote on election day. It is up to the people to say if : they appreciate the good work Mr. Carr has done and want him to continue in our service a second term for a . a nominal pay. He can afford to spend another winter in the legislature voicing the needs of the people of this * " district and we need him there. ; Give him the backing and confidence. he deserves ' and he can do the more for us.
