tho sublime pleas ure of ngaiu renewing his acquaintance with Mother Nature the babbling brook and waviug fields of corn Ho has betrayed tho trust bestowed upou him by the farmers of Nebraska by the most flagrant favoritism to the most grasping corporation of the stato he has repeat edly repudiated the most solemn in junctions of his party he has gathered under his protecting wing a gang of the

tho circulation possible and cannot concede it a sub scription list of over 1800 Such a list would scarcely entitle it to be called a leading paper in the Indian Territory let alone Iowa where there nre at least 200 papers that equal or exceed it in circulation In Des Moines aloue there are at least liO papers that exceed it in circulation But the fusion fakirs do not stop at a small Item of fact when they have a point they wiBh to foiBt on the people Editor Hitchcock of the World-Herald seems to have dropped down to fourth place in tho race for United States senator The Omaha News non partisan commenting on the outlook says that in case of the election of n fu sion legislature the situntiou would be much clarified by tho defeat of Mr Bryau for president Of course Mr Bryan would be elected us one of the senators and then the fight would nar row down to Senator Allen nud the others The most promiueut others in the opinion of Seuator Allens advis ers are W H Thompson the Little Giant from Grand Island and Gilbert M Hitchcock of Omaha Cleveland is repudiated by the present day democrats although ho was their standard bearer for three consecutive times It seems btrange that tho in telligence of whick they so frequently boast could bo so imposed upou that they would follow him and work for him during three consecutive campaigns without discovering his unfitness for the office of president Could thoy be made to acknowledge the truth they were ns much at fault as ho and would probably have taken the identical course pursued by him had they been m his position He is made to shoulder all the blame while those who are uow most severe in condemning him were his most active supporters when he was in power For a long time it has beeu understood throughout tho generally senatorial district that W W Yonng of Stanton would bo tho nominee for state senator This was meeting with general approval among republicans aud no opposition had developed Now however Mr Young spoils tho plans of his lriends by publishing a card in tho last number of tho Stanton Picket positively declining to nllow his name to como bo fore tho convention which iB to bo held hero on September 12 Tho only other nnme mentioned thus far In connection with tho nomination is that of Mr II S Buck of Piorco Mr Beck is a good man and would mako a capablo senator but it is not known

over a saloon while ono of tho ofllcers in tho club is a leader in the Anti Saloon league It abuses a repub lican cnudidnto who enters saloons whilo it has Bovoral members high iu ofllcial standing and ono or two candi dates who not only enter Baloons but have been known to bo considerably under tho influence If a party chooses to find fault with another it should place itself on a footing above re proach Tho republican party does not pretend to nuy largo degreo of virtue ns n body neither is it composod of a law loss debauching element It does how over protend to a degreo of conserv atism and consistency Mr Brynus mind evolved a very feeble and unworthy slnp at Christianity when in his IndinnapollB speech of ac coptauco ho said Tho command Go ye into all tho world and preach the gospel unto every living creature has no gatliug gun attachment In tho first plnco tho missionaries didnt go into Chinn with gatliug guns and now that they are there it Is doubtful if tho Son of Man would require them to calmly submit to the indignities of the murder ous heathen directed ngaiust themselves aud families without an effort nt self- preservation and defonso in fact the Old Testament scriptures contain many commands from God directing his chil dren to mnko war on the heathen in habitants of the promised laud and drive them out nnd it iB also recorded that God himself assisted when the Israelites were weak or inferior in num bers There nre very fow church or ganizations but that believe in the effi cacy of missionary work and it is very doubtful indeed if Mr Bryans slur at them will win their enthusiastic suppoit Another recent nssertiou to show tho drift of democracy is from the Verdict which sueeriugly says iu speaking of tho outrages in China Tho greatest mortality is among the missionnires of the Presbyterian faith and winds up with a slur at ono of the doctrines of that religious denomination There are those who claim to be christians who may support Mr Bryan in one way Or auother but what inducements they will have for doing so havo not yet been disclosed Consent of the Governed If memory serves aright Mr Tillman of South Carolina posed before the dem ocratic convention at Kansas City as a friend of the weak aud oppressed With muoh feeling he read the Declaration ot Independence laying especialjjstress on the consent of the governed Whether he rend the following plank from the platform mnkes little differ ence He was there and endorsed the sentimeut We declare again that all govern meuts instituted among men derive their powers from the conseut of the governed that auy government not based upon the consent of the governed is a tyranny and that to impose upon any people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperialism for those of a republic No one took tho pains to look up his post record He is a leader in the party nnd therefore all right The brand democrat iB blown in the bottle aud It will pass even though full of incon sistencies Therefore the attitude of Mr Tillman to the negroes as evideuced by the following quotation from one of his speeches in the recent congress will probably not be held against him We took the government away We stuffed the ballot boxes We shotthem We are not ashamed of it With that system force tissue ballots etc we got tired ourselves So we called a constitutional convention and we elim uated as I havo said all of the colored people whom wo could uuder the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments The recent action of tho democrats iu South Carolina will not sound as a dis cord in the democratio ears which have beeu so accustomed to discorduut notes that they fail to recognize harmony But there are voters who admire somo consistency and whose consciences nre not seared They will profit by a show ing of some democratic professions that have the appearance of hypocricy Some Standard Argument Voter The McKiuley administra tion has suited me very well There have been good

the Bryan ticket by the declaration of the Kansas City convention that anti imperialism is the paramount issue Interviews with a number of the leaders brought out the fact that so called im perialism is not for them even en im portnut issue much less the para mount question of thocampnign The following are u few of the interviews given nn Omaha reporter Dr George L Miller when asked if he cousidered anti imperialism the most im portant issue of the campaign said It is no issue at all There is but oue issue iu this campaign and that concerns the business interest the pocket took issue While the people aro threatened with another financial pa uc aud general depression their thoughts nre not going to be concen trated on nuy cry of imperialism It is folly to assert that a little war over in the Philippiue islands is of more impor tance to the people of the United States tbau their individual and collective interests at home Nothing like imper ialism appenrs in the policy of any polit cal party in this country and therefore it is an impossible issue Do you think thnt Bryau has gained any strength since his Indianapolis speech was asked No responded Dr Miller On the contrary I believe that speech has les sened his strength as a candidate It showed the insincerity of the man who four years ngo asserted that we could have no prosperity in this country as long as we adhered to tho gold stundard Bryau then promised to carry on the fight against gold as a matter of prin ciple mind you until voters in the couutry would be ready to surrender to the causo of 10 to 1 It was the oue aud only great principle for which every personal consideration should be sacri ficed according to his expressions in the former campaign Now observe the readiness with which he abandons it nfter its value as a vote producer is goue Eight thousands words at I apolis and scarcely a reference to the cause for which he had promised to sacrifice all else Bryau is shown to be a mere preteuder aud as the people are begiuuing to know him better they are losing their confidence in him Henry W Yates was the second sound money democrat to be iuterviewed Is imperialism the paramount issue he was asked As long as there is the remotest possibility of destroying confidence by ncitating the free silver question there cau be no other paramount issue than thatwhich relates to money Imper ialism is a dream of Bryans I guess What is your opiulon of Bryans Indiaunpolis speech It was a very elaborati defence of the fundamental principles of this gov ernment which has never been disputed by any one of good sense Bryan is the sort of a lay wer who might be expected to plea his case after it had beeu do cided by the court When Dr George Tildeu another old lino democrat was asked if he thought imperialism was the paramouut issue he promptly replied Of course not glren prominence in Imperialism was the Bryan plat- form for tho purpofo of obscuring the vital question of tho campaign which is whether or not the silver question ought to be revived Do yon think doctor that Bryan has a good chance of election I dont thluk he will carry a stato north of Mason and Dixons line with tho possible exception of Nebraska Colorado and Moutnnn Ho is not near aB strong ns ho was four years ago and ho wasnt so very strong then I dont think Brynn has gained any gronnd through his Indiaunpolis speech Ab people reflect upon his utternuces nt IndiannpoliB he will lose ground because they will realize that the dangers spoken of do not exist It Is Impossible for the United States with its high order of civilization to inflict any injury upou tho Filipinos Tho veteran Judge Wakely was not disposed to tnlk of imperinlism It is a waste of timo you know to discuss things thnt are in tho air remarked tho judge Would you bo willing judged to pre dict the result of the election Anything that can bo said this far in ndvauce of tho election would bo largely conjecture As far as I have been nble to gather I am led to doubt Bryans ability to carry a sufllclent number of states that ho lost in 1800 to wiu this time He is likely to carry Kentucky and Maryland may bo considered doubtful but on the other hnnd he 1b sure to lose some of the states he enrried four years ago What did you think of his Indian apolis speech It was built on air It conjured up n purpose of the administration which does not exist in fact George E Pritchett another sound money democrat wns brief and to the point Has Bryan gained anything from his Indinunpolis speech wns asked of Mr Pritchett 1 didnt read the speech I quit paying attention to Bryans vaporings some time ago is imperialism an important issuer I cant think it is I dout observe any tendency toward imperialism by any party or any faction in this country The talk about it iB all clap trap Will Bryan be elected He will bo snowed under so deep that he will not appear again in the politics of the nation and the democratic party will have an opportunity
