Otunhn Oct 2J -Dr H V ImiR
who has Just retired from tho super
lutoiHliiicv of the Home for tin Fcoblo
Minded Youth at llontiieo l unions
those of the fusion faith who openly
declare that Poynter Ih unfit for rov
trnor and slioiild he defeated Speak
ing on lids subject yesterday Lr Linn
mild
From the very commencement
Governor Poynter has been domlnnted
by the politicians They liave dic
tated mnny of tils nppolntineiitfl to
places In the various state Institutions
nnd the result Is that there Is scarcely
an institution that has not suffered
more or less from this source Out nt
Ilentrlcc a limn who had been booked
for an ordinary position sucli as dep
uty oil Inspector or the like was
transferred to the Institution as book
keeper and steward without any con
sideration as to ids qualltleatlons
The different Institutions today are
supplied with that class of employes
In some instances three or four of one
family are holding down positions
without any qualllleatlon whatsoever
There are any number of people hold
ing positions in the state Institutions
who are notoriously unfitted for pub
lic duty The fault Is not with the
superintendents of these Institutions
but with Governor Poynter who has
permitted ring leaders of the fusion
pnrty to dictate to him who should be
appointed No better example can be
cited of the imposition of obliging the
superintendent to accept employes who
are Incompetent and unlit than that
of a Mrs Thomas mother of Oil In
spector Sprecher who is now holding
the position of uintron at the Heat
rice institute I make this statement
without any qualification thnt she lias
no merit either physically or mentally
to recommend her to such a position
I refer to this case simply to show to
whnt extent Governor Poynter has
abused the appointive power There
are many other cases like it Mrs
Thomas ever since she has been ma
tron has refused to perform the duties
Incident to the position and lias per-
olofrxl In ilniHInfr llOI KIlllllV flTIM 1 llO
who lived at the state institute with a
family of six all of whom were pro
vided with bod and board nt the ex
pense of the tnx payers All this
comes from the weakness of Governor
Poynter He lacks the courage to
stand out against the unreasonable de
mand of the politicians nnd their po
litical friends The terrorizing Influ
ence of these political pie hunters
seem to have originated more among
the Democratic end of the fusion pnrty
than nnv other In fnct many Inter
esting letters may be found among
benr upon him nn exnmple of which is
a letter from the Democratic chairman
of York county who In asking recog
nition stntod that he had been able in
tho pnst to turn down many of the
fufdon lenders among them the Hon
Edward Bates former district Judge
and others of that political faith nnd
he was ready now to lay Dr Lang on
the shelf and even his excellency If
It nood bo to have the recognition ho
asked The letter had the desired ef
fect obliging the governor to make
way for one of the employes who had
been discharged for disloyalty and In
competency the same being a brother
of tho York county man Another ox
ample of the hold up In York county
Is that of tho Cochran family who have
been nursed nt public expense for sev
eral years and who still use their In
fluence to enforce recognition Out
side of this fnmlly tho PopullRts today
in York county nre utterly Ignored
There Is no reason to hope for nny
Improvement or change in conditions
under Governor Poynter I know
whereof I speak when I any that nt
this very time In his efforts to obtain
support he is peddling out promises
of appointment indiscriminately nnd
he will olthor hnve to violate his word
or keep faith at tho cost of crippling
and Impairing tho service more than
ever It is certainly a sad condition
of affairs that the unfortunate people
of the state Bhould be exposed to the
Ignorance blunders and cruelty of In
competent employes And It is also
unfortunate that the tax payers have
no legal way of protecting their rights
against ravages and spoliation except
through tho Instrumentality of the
ballot box
I believe that no one factor hns had
more to do with disorganizing the man
agement of Institution work than the
fllsregurd the govornor has shown for
his word and promises to those seek
ing employment There have been
many changes In the institutions made
for no other reason than to satisfy
soma politician with a pull or to keep
some campaign pledge At Beatrice
there was absolutely 140 oaesiloa for
interference by the givernor though
the pat year at that Institute has been
one of turmoil strife and disorder
The cause or H all was to fultlll a cam-
palgn promise no matter at whnt sac- I
rlllce Governor Poynter had on more
than one occasion epresscd contldcneo
and satisfaction In and with my man
agement of the Meatrlce Institution so
there could have been absolutely no
reason for making a change other than
to discharge a campaign pledge or pla
cate certain politicians who were loud
ly deiuundlng recognition
The affairs at the Hentrlee Institu
tion are very much unsettled Only a
few days ago one of the children from
Douglas county was taken away bo
cause Its parents believed that It could
not be cared for properly with tho
change nnd consequent Inexperience of
new employes The parents of another
child from Dakota county visited the
Institute a few days ago nnd found
their child In such a condition that
they were constrained by paroutal Im
pulse to tako It away
The people of Nebraska enn not af
ford to let such disgraceful conditions
continue It is a crying annum that
helpless and defenseless people should
be made to suffer simply that the de
mands of politicians may be fulfilled
It certainly presents a spectacle to the
unbiased voter which should move
htm to roclsler an einnhatle nrotest
I have no concern In the matter other
than for the public good when I say
that Governor Poynter should be de
feated In the nast he has been unable
to break away from the political wire- j
pullers and there Is no reason to expect
anything different should he be re
elected In many of the Institutions
nt this very time the employes are
wondering what the future has In
store for them and are devoting more
time to their political cares than to
their olllelnl duty
The custom of levying nn assess
ment on olilclals and employes of these
various Institutions lias become qulto
general under the Poynter administra
tion and it is needless to say that It
has done much to take the authority
out of the hands of the Governor nnd
place it In the hands of the politicians
thus greatly demoralizing tho service
After an employ has been compelled to
divide up ills salary with the politicians
and having knowledge that the gover
nor who appointed him to his position
knows that that division of snlary
was made he feels as If ho is under no
further obligations and is at liberty to
perform Ids duties as he sees fit
This has taken the authority to mnln
taln discipline and keep things in their
proper working order out of the linnds
of the superintendent nnd the result
is thnt each employe is authority unto
himself Nothing but demoralization
state without rendering corresponding has or ever can result from such con
service She lias kept her daughter with ditions
her at the states expense ever since i am thoroughly familiar with con
has been nt Beatrice Indeed it seems ditions as they obtain in nearly all tho
to be quite the common thing since institutions of the state and I say
Governor Toynter assumed otlice for wlthoiit foar of contradiction that
his appointees to gather their relatives tiore never has been a time when the
around them nnd feed and shelter pUic service was more severely crip
them at the states expense I know pie1 tiliU1 at present and there never
of one of his appointees at Beatrice aR J1 governor who has shown
- x- I- 1
than tho present incumbent
Certainly under such condition of
affairs no progress can be made either
In Improving the conditions of the In
mates of these Institutions reducing
expenses or in perfecting the public
service I think the figures will bear
me out when I say that Governor
Poyuters administration has been n
very ovpenslve one to the tnx payers
Pronerlv mnnnged the Institutions
could bo maintained at much less cost

for the payment of political debts with
out Incurring much additional ex
pense nnd at the same time destroy
ing efficiency
I base my statement on what I
know of my own personal knowlcdgo
While superintendent nt Beatrice
when I say that there hns been nine
corruption practiced under the present
state administration I remember at
one time thnt a large amount of grocer
ies nnd provisions weje shipped to
the Institute at Bentrlce from Lincoln
without ever having been ordered by
any one in authority The first I know
thnt such n shipment had been roado
was when I roeolved notice from the
railroad compnny thnt there was a
consignment of goods for the Institute
nt the depot I hnd placed no such
order but upon Investigating I found
that the shipment wns Instigated by
the governors agents The gondii re
mained at the station several weeks
and there was considerable waste
from destruction by rats and exposure
to the weather When notified by the
agent that a large amount of goods
had been shipped there I hnd no
knowledge concerning where the goods
came from and was Inclined to reject
them but nfter some correspondence
the stownrd was requested by certnln
members of the state board to accept
the same and we compiled wlrh their
request Much of the supplies was
of such poor quality that we were
obliged to return considerable as un
fit for use
After considering these facts one
can easily understand why thoro Is a
large deficiency In public funds at this
time variously estimated at from 00
000 to 100000 Large as this amount
is it will surprise no ont who has boon
In a position to know Just how Gov
ernor Poynter nnd other stato odclals
transacted the public business The In
terests of the tax payers hare been
preyed upou the state Institutions
have baen preyed upon nnd the ap
pointees have been preyed upon all
In order that the ring leaders nay
live In luxury and prolong tbelr hold
unon the state government

The discovery or the defalcation
which wns niado yesterday created
the utmost excitement lint the well
known stublllty or the First National
bank ami a statement Issued by the
bank had a quieting effect This state
ment was as follows The note
teller who has been In the employ of
the First National bank for many
years Is a defaulter to a large amount
Ills operations have continued for u
considerable period and have been
skilfully concealed The aggregate of
the false entries amounting to 700
000 has been charged off on the books
of the bank out of the reserve fund
It Is expected that the shortage will
be materially reduced by u substantial
sum of which there Is n fair prospect
of recovery
Alvord had been with the bank for
l0 years and was one of the most
trusted men In the Institution What
Alvord did with all the cash Is a mys
tery as yet except that as usual In
such cases It Is said a large amount
of It went in stock speculation II has
been discovered that during the sum
mer Alvord visited Saratoga where
he cut a great llgure spending money
like a prince
Fisher A Maker attorney for the
First National bank said We have
located about 000l worth of se
curities and real estate In Alvords
name nnd shall attach II immediately
I think this will bring the loss of the
bank down to close to -00000 We
are trying to locate Alvord with de
