hereafter, as heretofore, favor the largest
possible use of silver compatible with

siding, and came out into two different
rooms, making three holes about an inch
in diameter. In John'a room, a banjo
about an arm's length from him was
knocked down, and papers, pictures, etc.,
scattered all around. Of course, all
were shocked, and John when he woke
up said that everything seemed to be on

etables can be advantageously raised.
Charts will be published, and it is
thought that the hew department will
save many million dollars to investors
by the accurate information that it is
intended to supply; Nebraska farmers

are paragrapha in Mr. Lay's letters that
for style forcibly recall those of the

WILLIAM U'KOrLKT.
The republican campaign in this city
was opened by a rousing meeting
Thursday evening at the council hall.
Carl Kramer presided over the meet
ing. An opportunity was given to sign
the roll of membership and the name of
the club was changed to the McKinley
club of Columbus.
Col. M. Whitmoyer was the first called
upon for a speech, and from the time
the Colonel began until the meeting
closed with three hearty cheers for the
national ticket, at the call of Mr. Woos
ley, the last speaker, the large crowd
present were treated to eome old-fash
ioned, republican doctrines good to keep
uppermost.
We cannot pretend to give what was
said, as it was said, scarcely even a good
summary.
Col. Whitmoyer referred to the time
in '73, when he came to this country,
then a comparatively new country and
sparsely settled. He attended the first
district court held in Polk county,
assisting in the first jury trial; also in
Boone county. In those days here there
was plenty of vacant land. Since that
time what has happened? This county
and those around it have been settled
up; thrift followed industry, and many
who came here with little or nothing
became well-to-do, prosperous and con
tented, under republican administra
tions which fostered the general in
terests of all sections of our country.
Even four years ago we were a prosper
ous, happy people, and' what has brought
about this great change? The pros
perity, the up-bnilding, the increase in
wealth came with the republican ad
ministrations, and the loss in business
in the last three years in this part of the
country under the other administration.
We are apt to forget some things. I
recall the facts of a strike at Pittsburg
during the progress of which it devel
oped that some leaders of tho strike
were getting 87.50 a day as wages, and
yet striking for higher pay. There is no
occasion for striking of that kind these
times. There is many a man who would
be pleased to get a job at all, at wages
barely sufficient to keep his wife and
little ones until better times come to us
all. There is a constant effort on the
part of' some to array the west against
the east, as though the true interests of
all sections are not together. Let us
not forget the situation of things. We
are all, or the most of us from the east,
where manufacturing interests have
been developed by means of the greater
wealth of the country. Bloomsburg,
Penn., a place the Colonel was familiar
with, used to be very prosperous, having
smelting, furnaces, iron mines, coal
mines, etc.; one rolling mill occupied
eight acres of ground and another ten
acres, and all these gave employment to
thousands upon thousands of men, sup
porting a numerous population. These
people were not "poor white trash."
They were good people, got good wages,
had comfortable homes; from their
wages they set good tables; were able
to eat meat three limes every day; they
bought of the merchant, the butcher,
the dealers in all lines of goods and
wares which go into the homes of the
American workmen in prosperous times,
and in just such communities as that in
those eastern states is where the surplus
products of this western country have
found their market, when the factories
were turning out work at fair American
prices, without interference from a free
trade policy that not only has necessi
tated the issuing of millions of bonds to
pay the current expenses of the govern
ment, but has deprived American work
men of more millions in lost wages.
Preserve the borne market for American
workmen, and all the agricultural dis
tricts will find sale, good sale, for their
surplus products, and with good money,
we will all be prosperous again.
Judge Kilian was next called upon.
He began by referring in very compli
mentary termB to the eloquent speech
of Col. Whitmoyer, as the common
sense view of the political situation.
There seemed to be a tendency with a
certain class of campaigners here to re
gard our German-American population
as not really and truly citizens of the
United States. This is altogether
wrong. Speaking for himself and for
the German element in general, he de
nounced the idea. While of course
there were many born in the old coun
try, all German-American citizens who
had come here had done so to make it
their home, to cast their lot with the
Americans, be prosperous with them in
their prosperity, and suffer with them
in times of trouble. For himself, and
in this sentiment there were hosts of
Germans to think with him, he believed
the republican party always had advo
cated principles which were for the best
interests of the country. There are very
few business men but who now see that
protection and reciprocity, as advocated
by that great statesman James G.
Blaine, are the only true policies for this
country. Four years ago the opposition
raised a hue and cry against the surplus
in the treasury and they started a poli
cy, after coming into' power, that not
only got rid of all the surplus, but issued
bonds to help pay running expenses.
We don't want this kind of business
continued.
As to the money question it is no leas
important than protection. The meas
ure of values for all our commercial
transactions cannot be radically chang
ed without the greatest risk of peril to
business. If a dry-goods merchant
knows that there is to be a change in
the length of tho yard from that by
which he purchased his goods, he will
be compelled, in justice to himself, to
make the price in accordance with the
change. The owners of silver have no
more right to compel the government to
coin it for them on a ratio of 16 to 1,
when the true commercial ratio, ia 30
ounces of silver to one of gold, than ike
owners of oats or of aay other commodi
ty have to exat a like increase in price
of their product The Judge referred
to Altgeld's leases on his property in
Chicago. He said that Charles Pear
sail's company are renting of Altgeld
(one of the leaders in the Chicago con
vention), and the contract calls for the
payment of rent in gold, showing that
Altgeld has a level head for business
he may profess what he pleases, but he
takes good care that prosoises to pay
to him must be with gold. '
W. A. McAllister waa next called upon
and said that thia is to be pre-eminently
a campaign of education. The conser
vative part of the democratic party at
Chicago had been knocked out by the
pops, and it looked aa though the pops
at St Louis had been swallowed by the
democrats, so that the republican was
all the one left with a .platform aad can
didates to suit Protection and sound
finance are the issues, and twelve or
sixteen years from now the democratic
party will be occupying the camp we
are now in, just ss they always have
been doing after we had passed on.
It is not surprising to., know that Alt
geld requires his rent to be paid in gold.
Stewart the popocratio party god father
requires his tenants to pay him in gold.
Altgeld, Tillman, Coxey, Judge Scott of
Omaha and that class of men are those
who come to the front with the Chicago
populistic swallow of the democratic
party. Mr. MoAllister then referred to
the steady increase in the output of sil
ver as compared with gold, and the con
sequent change of ratio from 13 to
1 in the fourteenth century until now
when it is 31 to 1, and declared that the
country at large, in using what silver is
now coined at the ratio of 16 to 1, and
sustaining it with gold, is doing all that
it can do and much more than it ought
to do for Bilver-mine owners. Pnt the
government under a protective policy,
which will give us again work and wages
the country over, and, instead of having
to borrow money to pay our running
expenses, it will not be a year with Mc
Kinley and a republican congress, until
we will be living under prosperous con
ditions again, and laying by some money
to pay off the public debt.
We are sorry that we cannot give at
length points in the speech of S. C.
Gray who followed, and who for nearly
an hour, in a plain statement of the sit
uation, set forth republican history,
republican principles and prospects.
There had been no time since the war
when so much importance was to be
attached to the result of a presidential
election. It seems to be a time favora
ble to demagogues and ambitions lead
ers to foist themselves upon the people.
He spoke at length of the alleged crime
of 73, the passage of a bill in congress
which was printed eleven times, and
after being on the string three years,
and under discussion in both houses,
became a law. It was said that this
law had lessened the use of silver as a
money metal, whereas the contrary has
been the actual fact.
He illustrated, by the example of a
young man starting in business, how
necessary it is to preserve financial
credit by fair dealing. Good credit will
carry a man ten times as far as his cash
capital will go, and one of the great
questions now with the American peo
ple is how to preserve the financial
credit of the nation under the peculiar
and trying situation in which we find
ourselves placed. That going to silver
mono-metallism under free and unlim
ited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1
is the repudiation of one-half of our in
debtedness of all kinds is as clear as the
noon-day sun, and would be disastrous
to business interests of all kinds, great
or small. The gold would go out of
circulation; our $600,000,000 of silver,
now equal with gold in debt-paying
power, would go immediately down to a
32 to 1 silver basis, and our paper
promises to pay would be the same.
The story of Parson Brownlow is appro
priate: a famous character on the border-line

a call for three cheers for McKinley,
which were very heartily given.

There is considerable interest being
taken in congressional matters just now,
so that it becomes every republican to
keep track of what is going on.
At the time of the county convention
here, when the delegates to the congres
sional convention to be held on the 27th
of August were selected, Boss Hammond
was the preferred candidate of those
who had anything at all to say while
making the canvass. Judge Kilian, who
since then has entered the lists, was not
then spoken of or even thought of.
The delegates are: Carl Kramer, W. E.
Kent, A. Weisshand, Charles Kelley,
John Tannahill, W. A. McAllister, C. A.
Woosley, Ed. Hoare, H. G. Cross, C. H.
Sheldon, Frank Kenyon and Wm. Dress.
It is supposed that at least two-thirds
of these are now favorable to Mr. Ham
mond's candidacy.
The situation rather puts Mr. Kilian
in a bad light, as, possibly, if his candi
dacy had been announced before the
county convention, he might -have been
directed to select the entire delegation,
which would, of course, have been quite
a send-off with him, and put him on an
equality in that respect, with Mr. Ham
mond, at his home, Dodge county.
School Board.

school board Wednesday last the min
utes of the previous session were read

teacher resulted in the selection of Mr.
Campbell, who was principal of the
Platte Center schools last year.

grounds bad some suggestions in regard
to. repair of platform walk at First ward,
and also the water supply at the same
building, and were directed to look

As illustrating the degree of efficiency
to which the present management of the

power equipment and esprit de corps of
the operating staff, we call attention to
the fact that during the months of April,
Msy and June the passenger trains and
fast freight trains have almost invaria
bly arrived at their respective destina
tions on schedule time. The very few
exceptions to the general rule were due
to causes inseparable from railway ope
ration, and against which no forethought
can wholly guard. It may be safely
said that during the period named no

Al. Hagaman went fishing the other
day with some companions and came
home tired, and before retiring took a
few drops of medicine for inside relief,
and somebody started the report that
he had endeavored to commit snicide by
taking laudanum; that two physicians
were brought in who used a stomach
pump, etc., etc., but the whole story is
worse than the usual fish stories, be
cause with them there is occasionally
some foundation in truth. It is best to
tell a plausible lie, when one sets out
about it, especially when it is being tele
graphed to city papers as "news." Truth
nearly always upsets falsehood when it
has anything like a fair show. Mr.
Hagaman, who ia a fireman on the B. k
M., got up earlier than usual the next
morning and made his run as usual, and
was not informed of the wonderful
things ascertained by the correspondent
until he read about it in a Lincoln
paper. The chief business of an editor
ia certainly to keep lies out of his paper."
A new swindling scheme wss tried
here by a traveling agent a few weeks
ago. A woman purporting to be an
agent for a book company gave glowing
inducements to a young lady to travel
aa a general agent for her oospaay.
Her expenses were to be paid aad she
would receive a salary besides. All re
quired of her was to buy the prospectus
of her snd send in her orders for books,
eta, to the firm. The victim paid $3.00
for her prospectus and sent to the firm
for further orders, when she was sur
prised to receive an answer that they
had no such agent traveling for them
and that they made no such contracts.
