upon us by the fourtoonth and liftoonth
amendments It does not sound woll
for one of tho star porformcrs in tho
pnty that is to save tho constitution
from the assaults of ignorant and do
praved republicans to bo thus coudomn
ing tho nnniortal iustrumont In tact
it looks very much as though Mr Till
man would favor governing without
tho consent of tho governed and has
an impoiialistie ring Ho evidently has
not given up the idea that tho war of
tho rebellion was a failure
Tho Sioux City Journal has the fol
lowing special from Jetlerson Iowa in
which an old soldier mid n former iesi
dout of Illinois givos some ory good
leasons why ho cannot continue to sup
port Mr Hryan Thomas Davis a

uud candidate on the democratic ticket
for representative three year ago in
this county has avowed his purpose to
vote for MoKinloy and Roosevelt Mr
Davis says ho cauuot support any ticket
upon which is found the uanio of A dial

ho redded in Illinois and assoits that
Mr Stevensons attitude towards tho
union was such that no uuiou soldior

Edward Rosowater has won a decisive

personal aud many political euoiniosthore
seems to be no question but that they

there is no question but Nebraska would

It Is ery evident to an unbiased on
looker that what men like Hill Croker
Oluoy and other gold democrats want
is not so much Hryaus election as his
strength Thoy ato looking to tho fu
ture With a defeat this year Mr
Hryan will bo dead politically and the
custom democrats can say wo did our
utmost to olect you tho last time but
without avail this timo you must throw
your stieiiglh to men of our oholco
and Mr Hryan will be under political
obligations to do so Thoy recognio
the sttength ho has developed but It is
very evident that their opinion of the
man has not changed since 18111 in fact
it could not It would ho impossible to
sutler tho radical chango necessary
Tho following opinion of Hourke Cook
ran in I8IM1 is undoubtedly his opinion
still HoHryau is a candidate who
was swept into tho nomination by a
wavo of popular onthuslasm awakened
by appoals to prejudice and greed Ho
is a candidate who declaring that this
was a revolutionary movement no
sooner found himself faco to faco with
tho American fooling than ho realized
that this soil is not propitious to revolu
tion that tho pooplo of this country
will not chango tho Institutions which
have stood the tests and oxporioncos of a
a century for institutions based upon
the fantastic dioams of populist agitat
ors that the Amoricnn nation will
uever consent to substituo tho ropuhlio
of Washington of JotVorson and of
Jackson for tho republic of an Altgold a
Tillman or a Hryan
Had Mr Hryan boon prosldont during
tho past four years and had tho prosper
ous business conditions appaiont now
thou prevailed thoro tiro thousands of
republicans who would show that thoy
are not so hide bound to party but that
thoy would vote for what had proven to
bo a good thing and do what thoy could
for a contiuuanco of concMtions under
which thomsolvos and thoir follow
countrymen prospeiod Thoy might bo
consistently called tools if thoy voted to
overturn all business conditions and in
augurate an administration confidently
expected to biiug about hard times
If past history gave any oxcuso what
ever for tho belief that a democratic
administration meant good timos a per
son might bo pardoned for voting for a
chango Mr Bryau does not oven offer
o solvo tho probloms of laboring mou
and farmers Ho will uudertako the
job with no exporieuco to back him Ho
will undertake it with all ho has hereto
fore thought proper remedies rofutod
His paramount plea is in tho inter
est of tho pooplo of distant lauds Ho
creatos dissatisfaction among his follow
oitivous but promises no satisfaction
Ha wants tho office lot tho consequences
ho what thoy may It is a good timo to
lay asido party piojudices long enough
to think calmly dispassionately and
couscioutiously answer the question

There should be no pie tiou about the
position of tho west and middle- west on
expansion With a maiket built up on
the western coast to handle tho traffic of
tho far east thoro is no question ns to its
bonotlcial ollocts to tho tributary coun
try while the middle west will profit by
a new market coming in competion with
tho east for its products This has to
ceutly been exemplified horo whon San
Francisco merchants tnado a hid for and
received Nebraska poultry and it is only
a question of timo when the bamo
market under expansion will bobiddiug
for other products of this statp Tho
east is not likely to lose its prestige as a
market as it will always bo tho medium
of communication botweeu this country
nud Europe hut what tho east is to
Europe tho west is destined to become
to Asia uudor expansion and the pioduc
ers of the middle west will not bo com
pelled to rely altogether on prices for
its products made by tho east While
the republican party favors this building
up of tho wes under anti imperialism
the democrats oppoo it that is in tho
cast That thoy daro not oppose it iu
tho west is shown by u recent issue of
one of Hearsts western papers which
favois the uew situation while his east
ern paper tho New York Journal is
vigorously opposing tho policy It is
r o nme way with their orators m the
cist the bunion of their theme is
porialism while in tho west their of-
lores nre oirecieu 10 oiner topics
If Mr Bryau is n man of his word
there is no question as to his staud on
the money questiou and thoso who be
lievo in sound money must bo either de
ceived or else give thoir support on tho
theory that Mr Bryan would tell nn un
truth iu which case ho is more unsatis
factory as a candidate thnu though ho
carried out his promises By tho en
dorsement of tho Chicago platform aud
the specific declaration for free coiuage
by tho Kansas City convention Mr
Bryau is bound to that fallacy as strongly
as it is possible to bind a umu aud the
gold man who will support him is work
lug agaiust what ho knows to bo tho
best mterests of the country At Kuox
ville Teuu ou September 11 lbiti Mr
Bryan said If there is anyono who
believes tho gold standard is a good
thing or that it must be niaiutaiued I
warn him not to cast his vote tor me
because I promise him it will not be
maintained iu this country longer than

I am able to got rid of it At that
tlnio there was some doubt whether tho
gold standaid was n good thing or not
but that doubt has beon changed to cer
tainty thnt It is in the minds of mnuv
Ills only method of acknowledging this
is by dodging an issue which ho was so
anxious to stand on that ho insisted on a

Tho national olllcers of tho Womans
Christian Tonipornnco Union havo ory
sensibly condemned tho prayor chain
Inaugurated by somo of tho W 0 T U
ladles of I milium for tho defeat of Prosl
dont McKlnloy It was a wrong niovo
in that it did not apparently express n
doslro for a noarer approach to tonipor
unco iu tho White House than has been
in ovidonco unilor McKinloy but indi
cated that tho ladles had boon so aroused
by charges emanating from democratic
Hourcos that thoy considered tho defeat
of MoKinloy ossentlal to tho causo with
out looking uudor tho surfaco for facts
Tho dofeat of MoKinloy moans tho
olection of Hryan and whllo ho may bo
perfect as a touiporauco man his follow
ing doos not give tho least assurance of
an improvement on tho question so far
as tho country or national capital nro
concerned As a mattor of fact It Is as
sorted that Prosldont McKinleys torm
In the White- Uouso has beon tho nonr
est approach to temperance of any of
tho presidents from Washington down
and could scarcoly bo bettorod by the
election of Mr Wooloy which is very
improbable Tho cantoou which tho
W 0 T U ladies condemn has like
wise boon a nearer approach to thoir
idoals in the army than any policy here
tofore nttomptcd Tho ladies are un
doubtedly a powor for good in tho na
tion but thoy shonld bo certain that
thoir oilorts aro properly directed Tho
national otllcors evidently know some

want tho mombors efforts to accord

Tho Hon Jim Jump of cSt Louis is
pushing tho Bryan Coinmorcial travolor
canard for all it is worth Mr C G
Branch of Lexington tho same stnto
has been somowhat amnzod at somo of
tho goutlouians statements and has
politely but firmly called him down a
notch or two In a letter to tho Kan
sas City Journal ho says The state
ment was sent out last week to com
mercial travelers by Jim Jump of St
Louis in which Jump would havo the
public believo that the travelers force
has been cut down under McKinleys
administration 23000 men in round
numbers This untrue statement can
not pass my attention uncontradicted
Every intelligent commercial tnueler
will corroborate my statement when I
say that thoro aro more men on tho road
today than ever before in tho history of
this country Right in Mr Jumps owu
city aud carrying u lino of goods in com
petition to that of his own there are to
my personal knowledge seveuty hvo
more commercial travelers than there
ever havo been before not saying any
thing of tho uumorous other lines that
aro represented from this city through
out tho length nnd breadth of this laud
Tho coinmorcial travelers force is not
only not on tho wauo but is keepiug
paco with tho gieat patriotic move
ment of tho time expausiou I sup
pose Mr Jump attributes the crowded
hotels and scarcity of sample rooms
which the army of commercial travel
ers have had to contend with during
tho last three years to McKmloy tho
rain maker and Hauuas slush fund
of which he speaks iu his address is
sued to the commercial travelers Tho
truth is Jump is in favor of nothiug
good that ho knows auythiug about
and is opposed to everything good that
ho knows nothiug about
Prosperity Items
Pour years ago there woro many
vacant btoro rooms in Norfolk This
year thoro is but one or two rooms in
anything like desirable locations not
occupied with prosperous tenants
Four years ago idle men were plenty
iu Norfolk willing to work nt almost
anything for any kind of wages Now
men are very generally employed at
good wages
Four years ago Norfolk merchants
were very gloomy aud had plenty of
time to staud around nud complain
about lack of business It is seldom
that one is heard to complain now aud
thorp aro very fow who cannot show an
mcreaso of from 2 to 100 per cent in
business or profits
Tho building of brick and concrete
sidewalks was not undertaken under a
democratic administration It is now a
common improvement
Not since the city was established has
there been as much painting nnd im
proving of residence property as Norfolk
lias experienced dunng the past year
Deposits in Norfolk banks show n
gratifying increase over lulMJ and tho
farmers owu the bulk of the lucrease
Norfolk has had no ground for com

di ponded upon that tho convention will

represent tho district in tho state sonato
next winter Thoro is still a demand on
the part of his friends that W W

over his own protest but we hardly bo
lievo in that kind of politics and If Mr

A L Carter tho republican nomlueo
for county commissioner from tho son-

practically a raw prairio to a community
of well built aud well kept homes Mr
Uirtor lias always been a farmer and a
very successful ijouo if tho nmount of

tho affairs of tho county as closelv as ho
does his own He has boon a consistent
republican all his life His first vote
was cast for Grant in 1SGS at which
time ho was a long ways from home on

Home in order to vote The only ofiice
ho has ever held is that of road overseer
of district No b in which position he
has served nine years and given gen
oral satisfaction If elected Mr Carter
will make a careful conscieutious
county commissioner
President McKinleys letter of accept
ance is in notable contrast with Mr
Bryans Indianapolis speech in that
whilo tho latter dealt with fancies and
vagaries flights of oratory aud iiDDeals
to minds of lighter turn the former
deals almost exclusively with facts aud
figures gets under tho surfaco of affairs
aud gives something worthy of thought
ana study Mr Bryans speech was
beautifully constructed from the stand
point of the rhetorician it showed the
orator the student of laugungetho man
wuo can entertain an audience and do it
well President McKinleys letter indi
cates the statesman tho man of busi
ness tho student of political economy
tho man to direct affairs of nations and
it rests with tho people to choose be
tween them the orator who can please
an audionco and tho business man and
statesmnu who can guide and direct
President Mckmley failed to dodge an

stood tho champion of republican poli
cies aud principles the champion of
what ho believes best for the creat body
of American people A fearless stand
that unmercifully attacks tho vagaries
of democracy aud invites criticism
