hitn llu seems bout on preparing a
wore overwhelming defeat this fall
Mr Cleveland is considerably
by reporters who havo been plying
him with quoHtions Ho is tho silent
in mi of tho campaign and is saying

Tho ftisionists of Omaha met with
consternation last Friday evening when
tho entire Fifth ward Bryuu nnd Steven
sou club went in a body to the republi
can meeting in that ward and pledged
their support to republican ciuidl
dates
Tho fusiouists claimed Indiana Ohio
Minnesota and about a dozen other
Htates that they didnt get in 1BIHI and
also predicted a landslide to Brynn but
it didnt slide worth a cent They aro
limiting tho same oxtravageut chums
this year
Tho fuBlouistsdenounco Mr Dietrich
ns a saloon bum to tho people they
hope can bo lntluuuced to voto against
him by this assertion while to the suloon
people they say ho is u prohibitionist
nud his olcutionwill nienaco their busi
ness Such is fusion politics
It will pay you to remember that Mr
JJryans ability to criticize does not
mean that ho is possessed of an ability
to execute o ono questions his ability
to lind fault but there aro thousands
who will question his ability to admin
ister the u flairs of state as president
Tho Catholics own millions of dollais
worth of fine property in the Philippines
and it will not bo surprising if thoy
voto in favor of thu kind of protection
President McKinley is giving it rather
tliun for a policy that will put it at the
meroy of Aguinaldo and his band ot
outlawB
O II Dietrich is full of vigor and has
n splendid busiuess nbility Ho would
conduct tho allairs of tho governors
ollico in a manner that would rollout
credit upon thu stato and be in striking
contrast to tho present administration
that has become an object for contempt
by all citizens
Reports from tho couutieB of which
the Third congressional district is com
posed aro most favorable for republican
success and thero is no doubt in tho
minds of thoso who havo given tho situ
ation careful consideration but that
John It Huys will represent tho dis
trict in congress
Tho domocratio aspirants for United
States soimtorships aro continually
brought up against tho question
What might happen to me if Mr
liryau should drop into tho contest after
election providing a fusion legislature
is elected Any of them will prob
ably consent to lay down for Bryans
Bake
The democrats coucedo Minnesota to
McKinley by n majority of about liOOOO
This is tho stato where lives tho man
who was sido tracked by tho democrats
and Adlai E Stevenson substituted
This is tough modicino to tliedomocratio
leaders who thought tho independents
and silver republicans were so thoroughly
swallowedthat they could not kick
A G Wolfeubarger whois campaign
ing for the prohibition ticket says in an
interview with the Sioux City Tribune
that ho is confident Mr Bryan will
carry Nebraska This undoubtedly
shows the gentlemans desires Ho is
campaigning for Wooley not with tho
hope or any expectation of electing him
but for the evident purpose of gettiug
all the MoKinley votes possible side
tracked and thus improvo Bryans
chances
One week from today is election and
as it grows nearer the certainty of re
publican Buccess grows brighter Tho
listlessuess of the republicans has given
way to an aggressiveness that is creating
consternation in the fusion ranks nud if
it keeps up for another week tho elec
tion of McKinley and the placing of
Nebratka in the republican column will
be accomplished A 6troug and united
effort should prevail during tho uext
few days
The fnsionistB have recently redoubled
their efforts at misrepresentation and
abuse It Indicates n desperate cause
nnd tho bursting of thoir roorbnclm is of
dully nnd almost hourly occurrence
Not for yours linn tho fusion trust given
Huch glaring ovldcnco of a weakened
and waning cause nnd a person needs
only to follow their lino of argument to
correctly judgo thnt thoy nro on the
verge of mi overwhelming defeat
Keep thorn desperate
In ono of his latest speeches Mr
Hrynn says I did not complain when
men left ns in 1 Silll for I havo always
contended that a mans vote was his
own and that ho had a right to do with
it us ho pleased Perhaps Mr Bryan
knows what ho is talking about but it
scorns quite doubtful Miinygold dem
ocrats there nro who can remember
whon they were termed traitors
because thoy wouldnt support tho free
and unlimited coinage of silver at tho
ratio of III to I without the aid or con
sent of any othor nation
Tho f unionists claim to know just who
will bo elected to tho United Htates
senate from Nebraska providing a re
publican legislature is chosen Thoy
claim to a greater knowledge than the
candidates themselves but as tho latter
havo not been pledged by thoir conven
tions it is probable that thoy will bo
left to mnko tho best choice possible
from tho Held of candidates presented
Most of tho men aspiring to tho ofllces
of stnto senator or representative on tho
republican ticket arc safo honorable
and competent men and people will bo
perfectly safo in entrusting to them tho
selection of United States senators A
voto for them will be right
A correspondent has asked tho Omaha
Daily News Independent how Douglas
county is likely to go on tho presidential
ticket to which that paper replies that
unless tho unexpected should happen
MoKinley is certain to carry tho
county Aouto observers of tho political
conditions hero no matter to what party
they belong beliovo that thero is no
doubt of that result It is also quite
probable that McKinley will carry tho
county by n bigger majority than ho
did four yoarB ago for it is gonorally
regarded that thero is a biggor precont
ago of tho reported chango of votes
from Hryan to MoKinley in this county
than in any other county in tho state
Ono reason in great moasuro account
able for this is tho piosperity of tho
city and of Omahas citizens at the
present time
Mr Hryan says Croat is Tammany
and Crokor is its prophet How it
must niuke tho great common people
shudder to see their rovorod loader ono
who was supposed to bo immaculate in
all his political actions ono who was

questionable methods ono who would
bid delianco to wealth and bribery nnd
invito dofeat rather than court suoli sup
port bend his knee to tho most corrupt
political influence in tho country an or
ganization tho solo object of which is to
feather tho pockets of its leaders and
members by fair menus or foul Mr
Bryans words at that ban
quot will lose him the votes of many
persons who thought they saw iu him n

all suoh intluonco nnd uso overy means
in his power to crush it and similar or

Tlio Kearney Hub published in Mr
Oldhams own town nppears to believe
that ho lacks considerable of being the
proper man for tho position to which he
aspires Tho Hub says Thoattention
of Deputy Attorney ienoral Oldbiun
who is also candidate for attorney gen
oral has been called to the fact that ho
lias violated tho section of tho criminal
code which makes it a misdoinenuor to
make a wager on tho result of an elec

fractured tho stntuto by betting ono
hundred dollars thnt Bryan would
carry Nebraska by seven nnd n half

The flame McKiuley who is now de
nounced for militarism and aggressive
military tactics was but two years ago
denounced by tho democrats as weak
and cowardly becauBoJhewouldut en

as thoy desired J He sought overy hon
orable means of preserving tho peaco
botwoen tho two countries but whon he
once was forced into it he allowed n
vigor and aggrossivenoss that should
havo been satisfactory to hiscritics but
it was not and thoy aro making all the
fuss thoy possibly can concerning tho
war and all its results It is but fair to
say that undoubtedly tho largo majority
of tho American people were anxious to

thought that perhaps thoprosideutwas
a little slow but since ho has shown that
he could marshal his government in

Did anyone hear of Mr Bryan dis

Ireland in an interview with Popo Leo
in tho Vatican at Rome had been com

that the archbishop was impelled to
announce his intentions in regard to
the political issues which ho did as
follows
How do I intend to vote It ennuot
at first sight but seem more or less im
port inoiit for any citizen to tell the
public how ho intends to vote In vot
ing each citizen obeys the dictates of
his own seiiBO of civlo duty he should
simply do this aud leave to others to do
likewise However siuco a certain
number of uewspnpers have undertaken
to say how I intend to voto and in
doing so hnvo misinterpreted my in

political capital of my intended voto I
will give a categorical and unmistakable
reply I intend to voto for William

giving my voto for the candidates of

Open Letter to Dietrich
Mr Dietrich we have been reading
considerable fusion matter of late andj
wo nre almost thoroughly convinced
thnt you nro capable of considerable
meanness nud unless yon can givo nc
ccptablo answers to the following ques
tions we shall almost deem it our privi
lege and duty to support Lucius Clones
Did yon or did you not steal that 15
centa from your grandmother when
you were camped nt Plymouth Rock in
108 1
Did you or did you not get drunk on
bug juico beforo you were married and
throw your wife from a S5 story wit do v
when stopping in tho town of Oconee
Did you or did you m t wear your
fntherB cast off trousers when you were
a boy
Did you or did you not flirt with
Queen Liliuoknlanl when you were iu
Honolulu in 1711
Did you or did you not Btenl Roaring
Ikos mine in the early days of tho
Hlaok 11111b and cart it away in a wheel
barrow
Did you or did yon noQutrodtico tho
Slocumb law when you were a member
of tho legislature of Oklahoma iu lSH
Did you or did you not tell Governor
Poynter thnt tno moon wiib mndo of
green cheeso during his mcmorablo
enmpaign of 1898
Now Mr Dietrich if you did nil these
things you nro unfit to associate with
tho puro nnd saiutly stnto board of
transportation in your capacity as gov
ernor If you didnt do theso things
you should havo douo them for tho
benefit of tho dear Mr Poynter and his
clean and honest supporters An early
nnd acceptable answer Is imperative
Democrat io Insincerity
Henry Watterson editor of tho Louis
ville Ky Courier Journal was onco a
power in tho land His editorial com
ments havo been given respectful con
sideration by men of nil political beliefs
becauso of his apparent sincerity and
tho staud he has taken for tho right
Ho has unquestionably dono himself
and paper irrepairablo injury however
by his recent pronounced changes ou
two questions He is now supporting
tho man of whom iu 1805 ho said
Ho is a dishonest dodger he is a
daring adventurer he is a politicnl
fakir ho is not tho material of which
the people of tho Unitod States over
made a president Nor is he tho mate
rial of which atiy party over beforo
made a candidate
If this properly desciibed Mr Bryan
in lSKi how can Mr Watterson now
support him But in addition to this
wonderful chango of heart in regard to
Bryan lie is supporting Goobelism of
wliich he said but little moio than two
years ago
If tho democratic party or tho re
publican party or tho populist party
shall make this Goebel conspiracy its
own it brings upon itsolf its own de
struction or tho people of Kentucky
aro no longer deserving of the right of
self government which thoy will have
surrendered But that they have sunk
to such depths of degradation neither
tho people of Kentucky nor tho people
of any other commonwealth in this
union havo yet given any signs
Another action of Mr Wattersous
that should be a subject for condemna
tion would be his support of Joo Black
burne for senator A man who at the
grave of John Sauford said
I love you John my friend my
army comrade my more than brother
and I hopo my God will givo me life
aud strength to hurl your slayer Wil
liam Goebel to the deepest depths of
political damnation and who at the
grave of William Goebel said
Earth never pillowed upon her bosom
a truer son nor heaven opened wide her
portals to receive a mnulior spirit
How loug the peoplo will listen to this
inconsistent insincere hypcciitical
stylo of writing nud speaking is a ques
tion What they should value above
all thiugs should lie truth honesty and
firmness and Mr Wnttorson it
apt to learn that it is this which
