Ij Ji i ; I HON. GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK ,
I I .
.
. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR '
U. S. SEr ATOR.
, . .
If there is still a doubt in the mind of any , man that
a deep and carefully planned conspiracy effected for
. the purpose of destroying the lion. G. M. Hitchcock ,
democratic candidate for U. . S. senator , that man is urged
I to read elsewhere in this issue the very able and convinc-
J -explanation over Mr. Hitchcock's signature which
: we take from the World-Herald of Oct. ( 31. Every ex-
hibit marked was duly displayed in conjunction with the
, article and the discrepancy of the mutilated engravings
was apparent. The original of Bartjey's letter , over his
own signaturevas also one of the exhibits.
That the ramifications of this conspiracy were far
< , reaching there is but little doubt. That the cost ' of
manufacturing the newly invented explosive was- borne
.1 by the "interests , " whose object was revenge and sur-
I cease from future annoyance , is a good guess. That the
placing of the mine was engineered by Rosewater and
I Burkett is plain on the face of the evidence. That the
guide through the darkness in which it was necessary to
: work , was the odoriferous Bartley is -proclaimed.
" And , alas ! that one democratic editor out- - of a possible
. . hundred should be found so lost to all sense of shame as
; to have lighted the fuse , is regrettable.
I But these modern Guy Faulks. , who did the engi
II neering , must have got their blue prints crossed. The
, ; mine was evidently charged in the wrong section , for ,
after the explosion and the clearing away of the debris ,
. . divers fragments of the plotters themselves , is all that
a marks the spot where occurred this wreck of dynamics
and crash of hopes.
And far above and beyond the smoke and smirch of
combustion Mr. : Hitchcock appears unscathed and his
t triumphant march to the U. B. senate has been acceler-
: ated instead of retarded by this nefarious attempt to
, dynamite character. '

The campaign is now drawing to a close. For fierce
{ invective and unwarranted vituperation it has been a
1 . Bed-Letter affair in the state's political history. . Noth-
i E approaching ! it can be pointed to , save the campaign of
i . 20years : ago , at which time the host of prohibitionists ,
'I ' : fired : with fanatical zeal , , shied their castor into the po
' ; . ' I r ' tic ; al - arena with their , customary "I am holier than
! thou" nonsense , with the .result that the Hon. James E.
; Boyd , the Omaha democratic candidate for governor ,
was elected by an overwhelming \ majority. That the re-
sult will be the same at this election we confidently pre
dict : . ;
dictIn this campaign the fanatics have unjustly and un
mercifully . assailed' : Mr. Dahlman by falsely charging him
' .h ' the fracture of all the commandments. No frenzied
b&nd of Hindoo head hunters ever pursued , their .i intend
ed victim through : . the wilds of . the . jungle"arid : harass' d

him at all-points with more joyful anticipation and self- ,
congratulatory yelps than have Mr. Dahlman's traducers
pursued him. But man-plain , sober , sane , temperate
I thinking man - was created by God in His own image ,
and such creation be complete the
to , required implant-
ing within his breast the qualities of Faith , Hope and
Charity. Then He caused to be proclaimed ' that , "the
greatest of these is Charity. " , . .
This accounts for the fact that the world's history
has amply proved that men enmass. though they may
, iCommit ; great wrongs ' under the exciteinant of the hour ,
have always , at the end , forsaken the leadership of zeal-
ots , and prompted by a spirit of fairness , extended their
sympathies and assistance to the ones assailed.
Now , the opposition to Mr. : Dahlman having ascribed
to him all the faults that man is heir to , and , being a
righteous people , are no doubt very , very sorry that their
I odious vocabulary is exhausted , have , ignorantly , fur-
nished their venom with its own antidote , with the re .
suIt that Mr. : Dahlman will have the distinction of hav
ing been elected governor of Nebraska by a majority
larger than would otherwise have been accorded him ,
had their campaign arguments been confined within the
rules governing civilized warfare. Thathe has grown
stronger each succeeding day during the campaign is a
fact. As to him being elected , even in the absence of all
this unmerited abuse , there is no reasonable doubt , but
now the wild fervor of his political enemies make it an
assured fact. , ,

. W. J. TALOYR
. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE ' FOR
CONGRESS , 6TH STRICT
W. J. Taylor's speeches throughout the district are
arousing enthusiasm and favorable comment is heard
from all sources. ' The plain matter of fact . manner in
which he states what a congressman should do for the
people , whose representative he should be , and COll1p F , i'es
these duties with what congressmen have done in the in-
terest of the "system , " whose representative they should
not be , appeals to the thinking man with more force than
all the flowery rhetoric and incipient platitudes that have
been heaped upon the "old flag" and the g. o. p. by the
average republican speakers of this and other campaigns.
The people feel the gald if they cannot see the yoke
that makes the sore , and they want the burden lifted
that the bruises may have a chance to heal. They are
not looking kindly upon the promises of those whose
votes in congress have helped to place and . keep the yoke
there through all these years.
Therefore , a change is imminent all along the line ,
a change that could not possibly be for the worst , but
that offers every prospect of being for the better. To
help in in this propaganda for better governmental con-
ditions , every man , if he consults nis own , interest in
connection with the general welfare , should go to the
polls next Tuesday and cast his ballot for W. J. Taylor.
There is every indication that this , the Fourteenth
senatorial district of Nebraska , will be represented in the
legislature at Lincoln this winter by \ \ T. E. Haley of
Valentine.
No better choice could be made for the position.
His fitness has been amply proven by years of steady ,
sober , well directed toil and intelligent efforts in behalf
of the upbuilding of this section of the state , and his
ability warrants the belief that greater rewards will accrue
to this district if a larger field be given for his activities. /
Everyone who has given the matter some thought
knows that this will be an important session of the legisj
lature , notwithstanding the fact that the choosing of a
L T. S / senator will be but a matter of legal form. All
I
our legislative > candidates from this section are pledged
to the majority rule and this question , so all important
in the' past , is now practically eliminated , yet there is
ever a dearth of other questions that should be settled
in the interests of the people , and W. \ E. Haley is the
man to help to do it. Vote for him. I
- -
J. F. Naylor passed through Valentine twice last
week on his tour of the eastern portion of the county in
the interest of his candidacy for commissioner from the
Third district. He reports everything favorable to his
chances of election. '
It is certain that no better man for this important
office could be selected. He is qualified in every sense
of the word and will bring to the office , if elected , busi-
acumen , integrity and honesty of purpose that will make
for a clean straightforward administration of county af
fairs that will continue to accrue to the benefit of the tax- 1
payers through the years that are to come. :

C.A.RUBY.
C. A. Euby has been making a tour of the county
ever since the day after the primary election and has
gone into nearly every precinct in the county making- .
personal campaign , though he has not button-holed every' . .
voter with the request for his vote , but has made a dign i < - " '
fled and gentlemanly canvass to give the people an op p
portunity of meeting him that they might decide upon
his merits for the office for which he is the democratic
candidate.
Mr. Ruby has ] not been able to see every voter in the
county biit he has seen enough of them to at least _ show
his good intentions and give them the opportunity to -
speak to their friends of him , and , we believe , they will
gladly advocate his election for county attorney. The
time is now at hand and we wish to urge every friend of
Mr. : Ruby to make an extra effort to go to the polls early
next Tuesday and vote for him. Make a cross opposite
his name and ask your friends , who may not know o.f .
him , to do likewise. Do not do , this alone for : Mr JRuljy . ,
but in your own interest as a tax payer and your clesire
for honest conduct in the discharge of duties as county . -
attorney.
. Mr. : Ruby will not ask a premium for the honest '
discharge of a duty , nor Avill anyone honestly accuse him
of any such misconduct in office.
We I are for Mr. : t Ruby and we believe you are.
