Bartley's ; After he got out ; of the peni- tentiary Bartley came to me with . j I a $3,000. . note and mortgage which I had given to G. , Wattles , an Omaha banker. The note was to secure part payment on a lot ad- joining : the Nebraska National bank building on Farnam street. I had traded Kansas lands to Wattles for the lot and taken it subject to. - a 10,000 -mortgage. The mortgage I gave to Wattles was a second . 'mortgage. A fac- > ; simile of - the note is published herewith. , ( See Exhibit - 2. ) . A photograph of the mortgage by which--the note was secured is also printed' . . ' . : therewith. ( S-ee' Ex hibit 3 onPage , . 2 of this issue. ) In 1898 proceedings to foreclose the first mortgage . were instituted. . r On April 3 , 1898 , Mr. Wattles , holder of the second . mortgage , made an appearance , in court , but made no defense. . " On June 22' , 1899 . ; final decree foreclosing ; the first mortgage was entered. On July 31,1900 " , the property ; was sold at. . . . auction ! to . satisfy the I decree.

" J. S. BARTLEY. " " ( See Exhibit 4) ) This letter indicates that he ca-i . e into possession of the note after he got out of the peniten- tiary. , My transaction was with Wat tles - not with Bartley. Bartley's name. did not appear on ' either note or mortgage. : Both were even assigned in blank. I had no knowledge that Mr. Wattles had transferred the note and mortgage ; ' over : to Bartley till I long afterwards. - ' , The present , p elense' that this , note and mortgage represented money advanced to. me by Wattles from . Bartley's' account as treas ' urer in 1893 , is exploded by the discrepancy in dates , . because the note was made : two years later and' * was : to secure part of the pur- chase price on the lot bought Sep- tember 25. 1895. ' " My transaction with Wattles was a legitimate ( business trans- action , although it was , a very un , fortunate \ one for me , as I lost the . ' property when the mortgage was foreclosed. - . . I . cannot spare the time , in the I closing days of this campaign : , to en slan- clerous statements made against me by Eosewater , Howard and Bartley. I' do not believe , how- ever , that the decent people of my native state will approve' this style of campaign. If Senator Burkett has no better agents or champions he is indeed , on the merits of the campaign , in desper- ate straits. 1 GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK. THE SIXTH DISTRICT NEEDS A MAN IN CONGRESS Congressman Kinkaid is causing to be printed in many of the re- publican papers ' in the district a long article that consumes nearly one and one half columns , of space but which says about as much as an averagely intelligent i writer would put in a three inch para- graph. , I There . are so many things that I the voters of this district would like \ 'lr. Kinkaid to explain that it seems absurd for him to beat about the bush in an article that tells only of things in which the public nas little , or no interest. ' " . L'et him explain how he voted on the question of reduciug the tariff on barbwire , nails , building material and the hundreds of other items of particlar interest to the consumers of the Sixth district. Let him explain why he "stood pat" with the Aldrich-Smoot- Cannon machine on the tariff vote. He might tell us why he deserted Congressman Norris of the Fifth district when he was leading the fight against Cannon , and why he was opposed to the house appoint- ing its own members on the Ball- inger investigating committee. Not the least interesting to the voters would be his record as a grabber of coal lands in Alaska when "Dear Mr. Ballinger" was distributing pio among the mem- bers of congress in payment for their support past and expected.

The Saintj Journal , who's chief scribe essays to lead the sanctified hosts of Joshua , from the pearly gate of Lincoln , against the sinful Amorites of Omaha and elsewhere , has a versatile correspondent ( ; * * first magnifies a hotel with a.par i , into a public hall with saloon . in it.rr en a party of guests with Mr. l Dahlman amon g. them in , , the office audience- . hostel as an - , ; : Dahlman's ordinary conversation , it then gives as a public speech that he presents as typical of hisstyle of oratory. The reporter nob only picked out disconnected points of separate sentences and jostled them together so as to distort both ' the sentiment and * sense , but took good care to mutilate the King's English in such a manner as would best serve his purpose , thus criticising Mr. Dahlman's grammar. Shades of Jackson : , Crocket , Houston , John son and many others who have . left their mark upon the annals of time , defend us ; And , Oh , perish the thought ! I Suppose the ( prohibi - ' tionists : : , later discover that Mr. Dahlman's accent , articulation : and general pronunciation is defective what then ? His supporters must ! certainly quit the field. We tremb lingly await the next twang from the Harp of holiness. . - ; - . We are in receipt of a printed "slip" containing the . Aldrich dope that is being sent to , and , used by country . . newspapers by the so called Omaha Ministerial : Union. It con- tains the bland request that it be inserted to appear as news. This attempt to deceive is on par with the erroneous assertion and false assurnptiqii of this 1 ; > prohibition or- ganization which seeks to obtain its object by attacking Mr. Dahlman personally , but among its members you will fail to find the names of such eminent Devines as Eev. : John . Willians/r.J.Mackay , Dean Beecher , Bishop Scannell and many others. . As The Democrat always adheres strictly to the truth , we must de cline to publish these ministerial mutterings unless' the name of I ! their co-worker , Tom Denison is sub- ! stifcuecl for that of Dahlman. . - - - , . . . . . . . , - ' ' - - - - - - - - . - . . . . . - s - . i # . . . . . . . . . . . , , . _ ' . , - J . --'q- " ; . _ . . _ _ ' : -nrr To the Voters of Cherry County ! . I respectfully solicit the support ! of the voters of this county for the : office of county superintendent. I have been a resident here for 12' y * ars. I am a graduate of the , Kansas City high . school and later took a four-year course at the I Kansas State Agricultural College , receiving the degree of Bachelor . of Science. I have taught in both graded and country schools. With the exception of a short time 1 have. been engaged in school work con- tinuously , ! since leaving college. If elected I will give my undi . vided . attention to the duties of the position. - . . . . I am well acquainted with con- ditions over the county and feel that I will . be able to * meet * the re- quireraents of the law , an 4 hope to maintain a high standard in the . . . schools of our county. , Your , vote will be appreciated. . . Very respectfully , CCJRA TlIACKREY. - - - - - - - - - TO THE VOTERS OF THE 52ND REPRESENTATIVE DiSTICT. I had tha honor of repiesenting ' " this district in the last legislature , and am the democratic candidate for the place again. . The district , which comprises Cherry and Keya Paha counties , is too large to permit me to make a-personal . canvass and I therefore take- this method of reaching the voters. AP . a member of the last 'i 'legislature , I voted for the adoption of what is called 'The Oregon plan for r . the election of United States senators ' and under this plan every voter is allowed to express his choice for the senatorship. This vote is not ; ' in law , binding on the members of the legislature , but , if I am elect- ed , I shall accept it as binding on me , and my-vote will be cast for the ' man who has received the majority vote of the people of Nebraskn. Personally I favor the election of Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock , because , "VLB has been well said of him , "he is a splendid typo of . publicservant who deserves promotion ' to the high office to which he now aspire But , if a majority of the state of Ne- braska ' express themselves , by their ballots , for his opponent , anclj am elected to the legislature , my vote \vil ] . . be oast for the choice of the majority regardless of my personal I choice , or party affiliation. : I am the author of the bill which ; resulted in establishing the state experimental station at Valentine and I shall use my position to further its interests , as well as to further my legislation looking to the upbuilding of my district. A legislator's vote for United States senator is the only question on wuich party' : lines can properly ; be drawn , and , by the declaration . I have herein , made , that insue is entirely eliminated , I make bold to ask that you take the trouble to look into the record I made in the last session and , if my work is satisfactory. I ask for your vote and influence. This is the day of independent voting , and this . letter is addressed to demo- * crats , republicans , prohibitionists , populists and independent , I care ot what your party designation may be , if you think I am" worthy of your vote I shall be pleased to receive it , and if elected , I shall try to make a record that will show me Worthy . of it.
