We are informed that Mr. Roth
leitner never attended any university in
the old country; that he came to Nebras
ka as a boy nine yean old; that he at
tended the public schools here only a
small portion of the year, and a Fremont
school three months; this, in answer to
the fable which has been printed in the
Wochenblatt.

the Catholic cemetery in the east edge

A gentleman from Creston, (where
Rothleitner has taught school three
terms) and who is one of the oldest citi
zens in the northern part of the county,
a man respected by his acquaintances
everywhere, and known to be a man of
good, solid judgment, says that it would
be a "public calamity to elect Roth

The G. A. R. camp fire entertain
ment at Platte Center Thursday evening,
given by the Atlanta Post, was in every
way a success. The hall was crowded
with soldien and their cousins and their
aunts. Music, recitations and camp
fire stories formed the program of the
evening, after which a supper was serv
ed, that the soldien enjoyed although
there was nothing but baked beans to
remind them of old times, but they were
baked fit for a king, as each of the old
soldien is in his own right king of
himself.
When the bosses in the democratic
party are found in small groups at the
corners in Colnmbus to obtain inter
views with democratic voters, it is evi
dence of some alarm and fear about the
final result of the county election. It ia
claimed that the alarmed bosses are
making the greatest effort ever made in
Platte county to elect their ticket. The
first reason for this is found in the fact
that they find an unexceptionable ticket
in opposition, and composed of men in
every particular well qualified to die
charge the duties of their respective
offices. The second reason for the
bosses' despente action in this contest
is the fact that if they fail this time the
charm of boasism will be broken, and in
the future they cannot dictate and con
trol Platte county electors. Independ
ent democrats as well as republicans
should rejoice at euch a result, as it will
result in nothing but good for Platte
county.
It has been suggested to us by a
very prominent farmer of the county to
say that it would be a good thing for the
fanners to set their minds to the study
of county affairs. Our taxes are too
high; we have hard work to raise them;
some of as are compelled every few yean
to increase the amount of our mortgages
to pay up delinquent taxes, and it is be
coming an absolute necessity to see
where the vast sums of money raised
from us, for taxes, go. There is a leak
age somewhere. Some of our officials
have been getting more money than by
law is their due. It must be so. Only
an examination into the records, a thor
ough overhauling by competent, honest
experts, can show how far this baa gone,
and that kind of work must be stopped.
We might harvest and thresh the best
crops of grain in the world, but if we
calmly ait by, after we have put it into
the granary, and know that it is slipping
out into some underground bin to be
carted off and sold, we are simply too
foolish for any use on God'a earth. We
have aome very excellent county oftViala.
Now let us meet together, at the various
achool-houses in the county, talk over
these matters as men do about business
in which they are deeply interested, find
oat what we can about every candidate,
not what ia said about them merely for
the sake of party politics, bat vhat
manner of men them art and how they
wiU, each aad all, help iu to mux aome
of our hard earning and thas loosen
oar pablic burdens. None of these men
can be elected without our votes, aad
1st as hold pablic meetings throughout
every part of the county. The coming
waak will do mack, if we work aright, to
liberate as from the clutch of men who

tells us that prohibition has been in
operation with them for four yean and
there are no saloons and no drunken
ness. Drug-stores there are, of course,
but they do not sell by the drink. He
considers the best feature of prohibition
is that the temptation to drink is re
moved from the young. Public senti
ment with them, he says, is two-thirds
in favor of prohibition.

"Why, Jim, don't you understand?

Telegram is trying to attract attention

"Well, John, is it possible that our D.
Frank Davis has no better, political,
bone sense than that?"
"It is a fact, Jim, nevertheless. Why,
dont you know that if Cramer was as
lazy as D. Frank says he is, he would
nerer have been abb to demonstrate a
proposition in geometry he wouldn't
have got further than long division, any
how. The fact is that Cramer is a scholar,
a teacher of a high order, a clear, ana
lytical thinker, besides he has had
abundant experience. Any man who has
lived in Columbus the last twelve yean
can tell you about him. If our party
booms had put up either Lynch or Hess
or Couch on the ticket, I could have voted
for him with aome sort of satisfaction, but
this la-de-da, let him get a first-grade
certificate, or a state certificate, and teach
awhile longer, and then he will doubt
less be wiser than he ia."

Ed. Jocbsal: You are deserving of
the thanks of every tax payer in Platte
county for striking the key-note of the
present campaign, that is, the people
against the bosses, or words to that
effect. It was the same two yean ago.
While I am an ardent politician, at all
times when political principles are at
staked am not one who believes in mixing
good business and bad politics. I have
noticed that if a political party gets so
strong that when a man is nominated by
it he is considered as good as elected, it
soon becomes so corrupt that it is nec
essary for even party adherents, in order
to save their party from utter annihila
tion, to administer a sound rebuke, by
defeating nominations made by mere
"rings' and "cliques" or "bosses."
Now here are Stauffer and Kavanangh
hunting together and it is reported that
in case of Stanffer's election, Kauanangh
is to be his deputy. How do independ
ent tax payen who remember the result
of the campaign two years ago figure on
this combination? What does it mean?
How long must we allow the same set
of fellows to run our public business for
us? How long?
The impression is gaining ground here
that as the democratic ticket is compos
ed of ringsters and incapables, the best
thing to do is to vote the republican
county ticket entire, as they are all good
men, and have shown themselves capa
ble of appreciating the fact that the
people, as tax payers, footing all bills,
have a right to demand that the laws
shall be administered in their interests,
occasionally at least.

Gran-d Pkairib, Oct 26, 1889.
Ed. Journal: Your correspondent in
reading over the Humphrey Democrat
of the 24th inst was amused to see where
some one signing himself a former mem
ber of the county board, states that Mr.
Stauffer has never stood in the way of
investigation, and that his books lie open
to anyone who wishes to examine the
same. All this may be true, but the
writer of this, who is a staunch demo
crat rill ask ex-member of the board:
Why is it that there was never a majori
ty of the board in favor of having the
county clerk's records checked np? The
writer will answer. It was just such
men as ex-member who was a Stauffer
pet He is one of these moon-eyed fel
lows who can't or don't want to see the
dark spots on a fellow democrat of
Stanffer's dimensions. The writer would
ask ex-member. where was he or other
members of his stripe, when George N.
Hopkins, supervisor from Lost Creek,
offered a resolution to have the county
clerk's records investigated? Here was
a grand opportunity afforded ex-member
to ahow his colors in defence of the peo
ple's rights. Did he do it? Not a bit
He was one of the many who hung fire
and dropped his head when this grand
resolution was offered. Yea, he says
Stauffer's books lie open to investigation.
I will ask him why are they not exam
ined? I will answer simply because the
majority of the supervisors are cowards,
and haven't got the sand in them to do
justice to their constituents while Stauf
fer is allowed to remain in power, and
when Hopkins offered that resolution he
showed to the people that he could
afford to be both brave and honest in
any work that the people entrusted him
with. Where were Hopkins's supporters
on that memorable occasion? Let the
tax-payers count them. They were like
hens' teeth, few and scattering, with
former member of the board in the rear
rank. Ex-member would feign have
the people believe that this raid
against Stauffer is all buncombe, and
that the people are "on to the racket"
Yes, and if the people would take stock
in ex-member's communications, they
would soon be on the rack, where he has
already managed to place some of the
unfortunates, whom he caught napping.
No, no. The honest farmer wants none
of those windy epistles propounded by
ex-members who, while on the board
were about as useful to their constitu
ents as the fifth wheel on a wagon. The
writer will say let investigation come,
the sooner the better, lest the next coun
ty clerk in after yean maybe saddled
with something he is not guilty of.
Almost every year, and the iax-payen
would inhale a purer atmosphere if the
court house had a little cleaning up
done to it Who will be the first to take
the broom and pitch in?

Ed. Jockxal: The campaign in this
part of the political vineyard is warm
ing up and every inch of ground will be
hotly contested from the township tick
et up. More interest ia being taken
thia fall in selecting the right men for
the right place than ever before. The
large meeting Saturday night at the
Ssoeuj school boose and the interest
manifested ia an evidence that the peo
ple intend to rnle.-
The meeting proceeded with John
Freeman aa president and D. L. Bruen
secretary. The first candidate called
upoa to speak was W. N. Hensley, and,
as ia customary with him, he at once
started upon a lengthy diacnaaion of the
tarriff and wound up with a talk on
treats. He said nothing of the issues of
the ooanty campaigr,of which the voten
are anxious to be informed. Phillips

the farmere aaw ia him aa honest, capa
ble man. Hopkins will without doubt
poll a large vote in Grand Prairie town
ship. Martin Bloedorn, being' called upon,
responded by saying that his record for
the pest two yean was before the people
and if he had performed his duty well
he hoped to be re-elected; if not, he
wished to be defeated. Hia candid man
ner of expressing himself on all ques
tions will make him many votes. Cald
well seemed frustrated when he arose
and could only appeal to the democrats
to stand by their ticket and he would
be all right
Prof. Cramer came forward at calls
from the audience and offered bin record
for the past two yean aa county super
intendent for the suffrages of the peo
ple for re-election and pledged himself
for the future, as in the past, to strictly
follow the sprit and intent of the law to
the beat of hia ability. Hie address was
scholarly, short and to the point.
Becher's address received loud applause.
He stated that he would pursue the
same course in the future, if elected
county treasurer, as he had done in the
past; that he was willing to have the
light of an expert examination shine
upon his transactions. These remarks
caused the outbunt of applause from
the audience. Among the other speakers
were Bnien, Freeman, Wilson and
Spoerry.
The North-Phillips-Stauffer combina
tion must be beaten on the 5th of No

take yean to overcome. Now is the time
to break the ring or they will swamp the
tax payer.

that he was one of the parties that per
suaded John Stauffer to become a can
didate for county treasurer, against the
will of the people, for he has held the
office of county clerk long enough.
Platte county nor no other county in the
state of Nebraska owes a life lease to
any one man.
We remember that only a few yean
ago an "Honest Farmer" of Colfax coun
ty exposed some of the political tricks
of the editor of the Telegram while he
was a candidate for office in Platte coun
ty, in Colfax county the great and good
man u. rank Dans was a republican,
but since he came to Platte county he is
a democrat Democrats and republi
cans, can yon honestly believe anything
that emanates from this great man either
tor or against any of the candidates? It
is questionable.
John Stauffer for treasurer and Dan.
for deputy, Geo. Walter Phillips, John
Stauffer's right-hand bower for clerk
and Ed. North for deputy. Voten of
Platte county, (I do not care what your
politics are), can you suffer any longer
by ring rule? The ring must go out or
our pocket books will go empty. It is
said that John Stauffer is worth from
fifty to sixty thousand dollars and he
cannot deny it He probably will on the
eve of the election.
Now, a word as to his former clerk.
What has he done for Platte county that
we should elevate him to the office of
clerk? Let me tell you he has let his
taxes, both personal and real, run de
linquent from the year 1875 to the pres
ent time. This is what he has done,
while yon. the tax-payera. have made
great sacrifices to meet your own tax for
fear that your property would be sold
out and the amount is near $175. He
has abused the trust and the confidence
of the people. So much ao that we will
consider well before we place him in
such a responsible position. The rec
ords speak for themselves. Examine
them for yourselves, and then judge
whom you will place in office. This
same man Phillips has been receiving
from Platte county from seven to eight
hundred dollars a year and yet he does
not pay his taxes, and we ask Mr. D.
Frank Davis of the Telegram if this is
"rot"
The "Honest Democrats," the "Honest
Republicans," the "Honest Farmer of
Woodville," the "True Democrat" the
"Honest Corn Husker," who have their
taxes to pay, and from whose little bills
against the county are deducted their
personal taxes, every time, can you ex
plain away this cloud, why it is that the
deputy clerk for John Stauffer can cover
up for so many yean that which he
justly owes the county? Let Mr. D.
Frank Davis, the editor of theColumbns
Telegram, rise up in bis honest republi
can and democratic majesty and explain,
if this is not "rot." O, ye of little faith,
can you question the voice of the many
men who dare to express their views
upon questions that concern them and
especially in this campaign? We ask
you, Mr. Davis, to examine the records
and be honest to yourself and your God,
and don't come out on the eve of the
election with a lot of "rot" rotiness.
But we do say that the honest tillera of
the soil, the men who pay their taxes,
will speak on the 5th of November for
men and not for party. Ring rule in
Platte county ought to go out and if the
people do their duty, it wilL
