DAHLMAIV1 AND A GRAND JURY. !
We regret to report that we fine
men holding positions high ir
authority , including the mayor ol
our city , who in many instance
wholly disregarded their oath of
office ; . that they make only a feeble
or .no attempt to enforce laws and
frankly-admit . ) ! that they in reality
are not honestly and earnestly
serving , the. people.-Orpaba Daily

The above resurrected for the :
" purpose of taking its place among
the star misrepresentations in be
half of the : ' ; .lost ; cause in this cam-
paign is dqing _ Trojan duty just
'
now in the country newspapers
' that are supporting ' . Mr. Aldrich.
The tru.th. . of the matter is that a i
republican : grand jury , setting in
Omaha during the fall before Mr.
. . . " . " ,
Dahlman for re-elec-
to
. was run - -
. , 4. .
tion in the folio wing Spring , was
appealed to by his opponents for
the purpose of finding something
in his administration . that . . would
enable them to defeat him at the
following May ; election. ! . But all
Ihe partisan jurymen ; .f nvere-able to
discover was "regrets. "
They were at the . time , . . de
servedly hooted at . for going out
if their way . in attempting ; to aid
bheir Omaha friends politically and
attention was then directed to the
fact that grand juries are called to
investigate and indite ; if sufficient
evidence is found , but they are , not
sailed together at the expense of
the state to fulminate their "re-
grets. " In this instance the "re
grets" lay in the fact that there ,
2ould be nothing foqncl on which
io hang an interference with the

Howard . , Barlley and Royaler
Attack Hitchcock and Try
to Save Burkstt.
The vicious attack being made. by
Howard , Bartley : and Vic Rosewater
upon Gilbert M. Hitchcock in their
frantic efforts to save Senator Bur-
hett from impending defeat at the
coming ejection already shows unmis
takable signs of reaction against tho
conspirators : by causing fair-minded
men who have dispassionately exam 1
ined the statements made by both
sides , together with the "so called"
evidence presented by Bartley to
espouse the cause of Hitchcock. In
view of the candid statement of Mr.
Hitchcock , giving the facts , and ex- :
plainins . . . th.em , the common mind with
ite hard common sense has reached tho
conclusion that Mr. HitchcccK is justi
fied in making the charge against Bart
ley of attempting to blackmail him.
The political and personal reasons ani
mating Howard and Rosewater read
ily suggest themselves.
. . . Frcm all that has been given to thd
public thus far , the fol1 wing. are tlij
necessary : : deductions :
It appears that t in 1S93 ! , during tho
hrrd tmies , Mr. Hitchcock borrowed l
the sm i of 52,003 of Joseph S. Bartley
. . .
n banker and money loaner , as well aJ
state treasurer and a man . reputed tJ
be. wealthy at that time. It further
ar ; ) Pars that during the next fcv
world-wide financial
years , years of -
depression , which were especially bad
years in Nebraska , which was stricken
with a. drought , Mr. Hitchcock fomul .
himself hard pressed for cash to cen
time the publication of the World :
Ilciald , which was not self sustaining : :
&t that time , nnd was forced to asl
in common with all other busincs ;
men in those disastrous years to :
have the time cf payment : : en loans 01
money made by him extended. Tho
IGan made of Bartiey was extended
by Tiaving the original note cut up into
Emaller ones , foiling due on differ
ent ' datea , on come of which further I
extensions ; were made , until all were
finalfy paid in full , with interest This
transaction constitutes the one and
only transaction in , which Mr. : Hitch
cock borrov/ed money from Joseph S.
Eaitlcy , and the amount , with ' inter
est : , was paid in full.
Hartley's subsequent history is well
lncwn.In 1&U7 he failed to turn over
the state. . f : inds to his ; ; successor bc ,
coming a defaulter , being alterwnrds i
tried , convicted and sent to the peni
tentiary.
It sterns that in settling with one cf
the many banks with 'which he had
dealings , some years later Bartley
came into possession Qf notes for $3/
POO . given ! by Mr. Ke.chcock to ' an
Oniahn banker and secured by a sec
oid mO'Tgag'e'\ ' 'Omaha property. ; :
This property ' had been soid under
foreclosure proceedings during the
hard times , brin ing less than the
: iount of the first mortsase ; thus :
: wiping ! out the second mortgage. Tho
I
, property had been sold and the notej
for which the second mortgage had
been given as security were outlawed
by lapse of time , when Bartley ap
pcared as owner of the notes : : and de-
nianded payment of the samo Th3
transaction in which these notes
were given was not with Hartley , but
with an Omaha banker. : Notwithstand
ing the notes were outlawed , Mr.
Hitchcock : sent a r ' , presentative to Mr.
Bartley and made a settlement with
' him , Bartley turning over the notes
and papers to said representative ; oi
"
Mr. Hitchcock.
- Mr.Bartley ' ' asks , why should ho ,
purchase second mortgages v/hen '
there were plenty of first mortgagee : .
to be : had , thus 'throwing out the sug
gestion { of legitimate l business trana-
[ ted with actual money. From the
facts and revelations recently made
jt seems , however that Mr. Bartiey's i
cunning though great , was not sufiV
cient to cover his tracks , so that in
the present instance , : he furnishes evi
dence of the truth of the statement :
made by Ralph Waldo Emerson . that
"The devil is alwaj-s : an ass. "
Mr. Bartley , it now appears , realized
that his own disgrace could be turned :
into an asset for the purpose of black
mailing those with whom he had
money transactions any time after be *
coning state treasurerHe therefore
had the papers , letters and telegrams
vf ; the mep with whom he had money
dealings photographed , thus enabling
him to make settlements with such as
he could and at the same time , after
turning over to them the original ! l pa
pers , retain copies that he coul < i use
for blackmailing ! purposes against any
vho at any future time should become
candidates for public ! office.
Outlawed commercial paper is a
cheap commodity ! , and it is doubtful
if Mr. Bartley paid the Omaha banker
.from whom he received the Hitchcock
notes a single penny for them. The
Omaha banker holding the outlawed.
paper knew it was worthless , there
fore , it would not be 'difficult for any
person to negotiate for it , and it is
probable that Mr. Bartley got it for
the asking particularly if Mr Eartley
fugcested ! to the banker that a gift oJ
thp notes would entitle him to a
larger measure of his good will The .
Hitchcock notes which came into Mr.
Bartley's possession through transac
tons ! with the Omaha banker were
later settled for and surrendered by
Mr Bartley to Mr. Hitchcock's repre-
sentative.

an innocent man by nianufactunnv
perjured evidence against the man to
enable his wife to obtain a divorce.
The story as related in the "Amcr
lean" and "World" is In substance .
briefly , as follows : "Dr. Robert E
Campbell and his wife of Buffalo , N
Y. , having , separate estates , botn hac : :
investments in Butler county , Nc
braska , which Mr. Aldrich looked altsi
for them. Dr. Campbell was sur
prised in August , 1900 , in finding Mr
Aldrich's card on his hall table and
looked up Mr. Aldrich and found him
in Buffalo , but was unable to asccr
tain what business he was there for
After Mr. Aldrich's return to Nebras '
ka Dr. Campbell received several ur
gent letters from Mr. Aldrich. urging
him to come to David City at once , ai
he had a land deal for him. Dr. Camp
boll started for Dr. vid City without
writing to Mr. Aldrich of his corning '
but telling his wife before leaving
home that he was starting for David
City. Dr. Campbell arrived at David
City in the evening , and was sur
prised to find that Mr. : Aldrich wa-J
expecting him and had engagsd n ,
room for him. He telephoned Mr :
Aldrich upon his arrival , but the lat
ter did not call on him until the fol
lowing evening. The tir.y afterward
Mr. Aldrich took the doctor out ridln-j
and proposed to him an impossibly !
tra e. The doctor felt that he had
gone to Nebraska on a wild goosi
chase , but suspected , nothing. ; He left t
David City three days after arrivn ! :
there , and making stops on the way
home was absent from home alto
gether fifteen days. " " "hen he arrived
home he learned that his wife had re
ceiverl a letter from Mr. Aldrich , In
forming her that the doctor while in
David City } ' was guilty of misconduct
' vfith a young lady at that place. Mrs.
Campbell two days later left her home
find took up a residence at Brooklyn
for the purpose of gaining a resident
and obtain a divorce , thus avoiding
publicity at her old home , Bu iao. ! In
tine time the divorce proceedings were
started in Greater New York and when
the trial was reached and proceeding !
commenced and Mrs. Campbell's attor
ney had stated to the court what he
Intended to pro've , and was offering
in evidence a deposit/on : sworn to and
signed by Cora Belle Durham of But
ler county Nebraska , when rn excit
,
Ing scene followed. As Mr. Vvaldo ! , at
Lorney for Mrs. Campbell , closed his
Dpening remarks and reached for hi ; *
deposition , Mr. Carpenter , the doctor's
attorney , whisepered to the clerk , who
left . the .room. A moment later he reoI
turned ; with Miss Durham.
. "Only one man had noticed her en I
trance : , and that man was Mr. Aldrich.
I
, When he her his changed

oor. % Hfwe'nt . from . red to white and
back'again : . " ' " to . red. The . muscles on

oat : of the attorney with the deposition :
in his hand and whispered to hi- . " I
.
. ,
It was too late , however. 'i 11e law
yer had already prepared to read the
deosition.Mr. . Carpenter , Dr. Camp
bell's attorney , arose and objected to I
the ; reading of the deposition as tho I
:
pritnegs was present : in person and
ould ; be examined in court. Then fol I
lowed a. tilt between tlie iavyers , in :
which Mrs. Campbell's attorneys
r-ought ; to prevent Miss Durham testi- II
fying and have her deposition read , .
ind : stand as her testimony. I
At this tirne the judge too : a hand ,
'lid ordered the young lady to take
, he stand.
She testified that she was brought
ta David City for the purpose or en
trapping this man into her room , or
I
Baiting ; him in his own room , and
making evidence to be used in the di-
porce case against him. She further :
testified that she failed and that the
Jortor was absolutely innocent , not-
tv.thstanding the deposition she had
sigred ; and sworn to. She stated that
she : had been induced to do this by
the promise of being weil paid for it.
3he said that Mr. Aldrich paid her ? GO
and that the other $40 promised had
net been paid. She stated that Mr.
Aldrir.h brought to her the paper al
ready prepared that she swore to and
siqncd ; and that the statements in it
were untrue ; that after she had done
his [ her conscience troubled her and
she could not rest feeling that she
dad done a great wrong ; and that she
found no rest or er.se of mind until
sho ; could undo as far as" possible the
wrong she had committed against an
innocent man , and that she would
rather be punished for telling tho
truth : than for telling a lie. The
judge took the witness and asked : : her
If she came there for the purpose of
xposing a conspiracy against ! Dr.
Campbell. She replied that she "came
Tor the purpose of telling the truth. "
The judge then interrupted the pro.
ceedings ; to say , "This is a case where
in there is. i guilt on one side or the
other. " Said Judge Russell , turning
to the lawyers , "It Is very evident.
Either the defendant has been guilty
and is i seeking to pervert the evidence
ir : there has been the foulest kind of
. 'riir.p on the other side and it In-
" vohns something more than trie ques-
lijn ! whether a marriage should be dis-
solved or not. " The Judge then . or-
derfd the case adjourned to a future
dd ( > .
date.The
The sequel was , the case never
came up again , but was settled out
of court by Mrs. Campbell the doc-
tor's wife , paying 1large sum of
money in settlement of the case to
save herself and co-conspirators

facts as printed in the New York pa- '
pers at the time of the trial , together :
with the material parts of Mr. Aid-

Why doesn't Senator Burkett man
fully accept the challenge of Con '
gressman Hitchcock to go with him -
on the rostrum and compare records ! !
in congress and scorn the assistance :
of such men and methods as are com
ing to his assistance ; ? It looks like a !

Vic Rosewater hopes to succeed ' 'i \ ' :

hence. This is the animus of his I (
bitter fight against Hitchcock know \1 \
ing well that the people of Nebraskn 1\ \
will not elect two senators from thtt ' , j
city of Omaha. Therefore , his , only . !
hope of reaching the goal of his am I
bition rests upon the defeat of Hitch b
cock. Poor Vic , his case is hopeless. 1 1
Dahlman's election is opposed In

bition ministers and Tom Dennisoiffl "
gang in the "red light" district , n - .
strange combination , Indeed. But hn
has the support of the business 'and
professional men , the home owners - . . ,
and the honest laborers of the. city
in overwhelming numbers. It Is gen
erally conceded that he will receive a
majority exceeding 10,000 in that city .
alone. .
The voters in the eighteen counties- : ' . ,

r
Edgar Howard of the Columbus Tel I
egram appears to be a natural born I
Ishmaelite , with hi3 , hand against I
everybody. Two years ago he fought
the nomination of Latta for congress ,
trying tc secure the nomination for . , /
I himself , and continued the fight after
being defeated. Last year he bolted _ .
I the nomination of Judge Dean for
I judge of the supreme court and BUD- .
ported Sedgwick the Republican. This
year he appears to be the agent of
Joe Bartley in a bitter fight against y
Hitchcock for the senate. Men of l
so unfortunate a temperament
ns Howard possesses are seriously
handicapped in the race of life , gen
erally , and are a downright nuisance "
x
in any organization they connect them
selves with , political or otherwise.
They cannot help it , however as they
were born so. ; I
Is the hand of Secretary Ballinger
seeking to smite Congressman Hitch
cock in his senatorial aspirations ? It
will be remembered that it was Con-
I gressman Hitchcock who introduced -
the resolutions in congress unrfer
; which the Ballinger investigation was
conducted which resulted in the ex
posure of many frauds being perpe
trated in the disposition of Alaskan
coal lands. Ex-Governor Savage of
Nebraska , who pardoned Joe Bartlcy
I fioin the state penitentiary , Is said to
be . ( intimate friend
.e an and business as
sociate ot Secretary Ballinger in the
I state Washington. . Bartley owes his I
I libel ty to Governor Savage and
Ballinger ! is a mortal enemy of Con-
gressman Hitchcock. Senator Burkett
is familiar with all the facts and is
making the battle of his life to secure
a election to the senate , with a rec-
ord that he dare not face by meeting
! his : rival on the rostrum In joint de-
I bate before the voters of Nebraska. t'
The foregoing facts may account ror
the visits made by certain politician
tin Nebraska ; to Bartley at Denver . ,
