W.L Greene, populist candidate for
congress recently nominated in the
'Sixth district, has challenged his-opponent,
A. E. Cady to ten joint discussions
' of the issues of the campaign.
The Forum for September will con
tain a notable paper by Dr. William P.
Northrup, an eminent physician of New
York, giving the results of a recent in-
raatigatkm into tb results of the Anti
toxin treatment of diphtheria in nearly
6,000-. cases. The statistics prove be-
yond a doubt the efficacy of this new
treatment.
. A vert valuable article at this time is
' one in the September Forum by Mr. J.
J. Lalor of the United States Treasury.
Department, entitled "Early and Re
cent Currency Legislation; A Contrast"
It is a clear and concise review of our
currency legislation, and concludes with
a computation of the cost to the coun
. try almost $1,000,000,000 of our pres-
' ant 'complicated and cumbersome cur-
rency system.
, Interest in the national election has
rather overshadowed the state campaign
. for a time, but it is well to bear in mind
that every republican should don his
war paint and put in his bast licks for
Jack MacColl and the whole republican
. state ticket, that it may keep right in
liae with McKinley and Hobart. The
, state ticket is one of the most acceptable
to the people of the state that has ever
bean presented to the voters and there
is so doubt but the entire ticket will
receive the entire party vote. Madison
Chronicle.
We imported $125,000,000 worth more
of goods last year from England than
we did during the hut year of the Mo-
'Kinley tariff. This is reason enough
why England is decidedly against the re
enactment of the McKinley principle in
'this country. The workmen of the
country who are sitting around on
free trade badges, glazing dry goods
boxes have time and opportunity to
think eut,the situation and they are
eartsin to reverse the present policy
which enriches aad feeds foreign toil at
the expense of American labor. Fre

ber of poealieta, ssysahe Platte Center

Platte and Naaoe counties,, with pop
ulist, of course, as the candidate. Two
years ago the ease eaheme was carried
and one Spaekman,of course, a populist,
of Nance county was elected. He went
to the legislature, but nothing was
heard of him only when the roll was
called aad when he came to draw his
salary. The people of this district were
clisgusted with Spackman and with
thesaselves for nan ding such as he to the
legislature. Let us not repeat the dose
this year. When the democratic party
will tie-up on such a man as Spackman
aad his ilk, simply to get on the friendly
aide of another political party, then it is
tune the intelligent people cast party
aside and wield a free-lance. We hope
the democratic party will not make the
combination, but if it does, let it insist
upon the candidate having at least hon
esty if aot intelligence.
Ox the. foarth page of today's Jour
xal will be found the letter of accept
ance of the republican party's great
candidate for president, Major McKin
ley. He is one of the men whose words
are weighed in a balance before uttered.
The letter is a fair, full and exceedingly
able statement of the issues between the
contending parties, and, with the plat
form, completes the formal opening of
the campaign on the part of republi
cans. Let every conscientious voter
read and study Mr. MeKinley's letter
before casting a ballot against him, and
against the true, business policies that
will pull the country out of the "slough
of despond" in which it has been floun
dering the last three years.

Ikdukapous, Sept. 1. Although the
convention of the gold standard Demo

delegates are slow in arriving. A few
of the notables including Perry Belmont

delegates and received telegrams an
nouncing that others are on their way.
Thus far but one delegate has appeared
who dots not favor the nomination of a
ticket. The managers, however, look
upon a ticket in the doubtful states as of
vital importance, but the general ex
pectation now is that an electoral ticket
will be put up in almost every state in
the Union. It is pointed out that an

"They would," said Congressman
Sperry, "give us a chance to rally
arouuud them. Despite the fact that in
this campaign the money question over
shadows all else it would be almost im
possible for Democrats to advocate the
election of McKinley ou a platform
which pronounces for protection and
other things to which we have been and
still are unalterably opposed. The only
drawback to making a nomination, it
i to me, is the'fact that the New
York gold Democrats will vote for Mc
Kinley aad the real strength of the gold
Democrats will not be manifested in
the vote cast."
When the present movement was
organised, the question of candidates
was considered of little importance. It
was thought they could be selected at a
conference, but as the movement has
grown, n contest has developed. There
is a disposition to consider the question
of the nominees more seriously. There
is, of course, much talk of Cleveland,
bat his closest friends are discouraging
it and there are also those who believe
it would be bad policy to nominate the
ateaUlent or any one connected with
the administration. The managers have
began to cast around for rote getters.
The most prominent name suggested is
that of Senator George Gray of Dela
ware. Ex-Congressman Outhwaite of
Ohio, ex-Minister to Switawland Broad

also talked about to some extent.

Cleveland, Sept. 1. Oaadidate
Bryan has been the object of bo other
demonstration so vociferous, and so
spectacalar as that which the dry of
Cleveland gave him last night and no
where else, with the passible exception
of New York, have so many people at
tempted to hear him talk. Two great
meetings listened to Mr. Bryan, the first
in the Central armory, where 16,000
people were packed; the second in Music
Hall, which held 8.00(, and afterwards
he spoke to several thousand from the
bolcony of the Hillenden hotel. Bands
and marching campaign clubs were
numerous about the streets and with
thousands of strangers in its gates the
the city bore a holiday aspect. Special
trains brought out-of-town clubs in
during the afternoon; 500 came on one
train from Canton, the members of the
Bryan club of that city and their friends;
two trains came from Akron, and others
from Lorraine, Cuyahogo and other
Ohio and Pennsylvania points. For two
or three squares the streets about the
depot were thronged when the cannon
announced the arrival of the train oa
which the candidate came. There was
a parade to escort him to the hotel and
another after dinner from the hotel to
the Armory, the Utter headed by the
Democratic clubs of Cuyahoga, followed
by several ward organizations and out
of town clubs.
WarkJasaaaa Ia a BfaJarltT.
The armory doors were thrown open
at 7 o'clock, and 15 minutes after every
foot of space was filled to the doors. Not
only were the aisles jammed, but men
were clinging on window sills high up
and hanging in all sorts of impossible
places. In both of the Cleveland halls,
as in most of the other cities in which
Mr. Bryan has spoken, the police ar
rangements were utterly inadequate.
The crowding was almost as great as at
the Jamestown assembly Saturday, and
any sort of a stampede would have pre
cipitated a disaster. Workingmenwere
in a large majority at both meetings;
they were free and easy, peeling off
coats, singing and disporting themselves
generally in a good natured turbulent
way. An arm holding a hammer sur
mounted with the words, "The Friend
of Labor," was blazoned across a big
transparency in the armory. Two of
the first comers were "General" Coxey,
late of the commonweal army and his
lieutenant and son-in-law. Carl Browne,
whose appearance upon the platform,
where they pre-empted front seats,
brought down a tremendous howl, in
response to which the "General" rose
and bowed. The shirtsleeved crowd at
tempted to persuade Mr. Coxey to speak,
but failing, listened to the music of a
glee club and sang "The Star Spangled
Banner" and "Marching Through Geor
gia" in a many thousand voiced chorus
with thunderous effect.
Ittaairad a tiarea Chaar.
When Mr. Bryan came down the
stage at 8 o'clock, escorted by Mr. Lee
Holden of the Cleveland Plaindealer,
he inspired a fierce cheer, which contin
ued for three minutes, with waving hats
and handkerchiefs, and which was con
tinued all the time the temporary chair
man was trying to work in his speech.
The armory audience was the largest
Mr. Bryan has addressed indoors, ex
cept the one in Madison Square. The
Music Hall crowd was half as large and
none left the haU. The crowd was en
tertained by local orators during its two
and a half hours of waiting. In his
speeches at both places Mr. Bryan de
voted himself mainly to the financial
question.
Before his arrival at Cleveland, Mr.
Bryan made speeches at Chautauqua,
Mayville and Ripley, at the last place
talking to 2,000 farmers gathered for
the picnic of the Knights of the Mac
cabees. .Much of the country through
which he passed yesterday seemed to be
Republican in its complexion. At Mad
ison the Republican club turned out
with badges, banners and bam drums,
cheering McKinley and howling at
Bryan. But Ashtabula furnished an
enthusiastic crowd of 2,000, partly free
silver Republicans.
NaOrdlaary
Mr. Bryan opened his speech in the
Armory with the following words:
What is the meaning of this enormous
outpouring of the people? No ordinary
occasion would produce this scene. No
ordinary campaign would stir men' spirits
as they are being stirred today. Your
presence, your enthusiasm, testify to the
fact that this -year people are thinking
as they have aot thought before in recent
years. And well they may. In this cam
paign two mighty forces are arrayed and
they are engaged in a struggle which
means much to both. When Mr. Carlisle
la 1878 was dismissing the money question,
he said: "The struggle now going on
cannot cease and ought not to cease until
all the industrial interests of the country
are finally and fully emancipated from
the heartless domination of syndicates,
stock exchange and other great combina
tions of money grabbers 1b this country
and Europe."
Have the people been emancipated from
the heartless domination of those "heart
less syndicates aad money grabbers of this
country and Europe?" (Cries of "No, no,
no.") No, for the last 90 years
that heartless domination baa Increased in
its severity and within the last three
years that heartless domination has grown
more and mora intense, until today the
people are confronted with this problem:
Are the American people able to govern
themselves, or must this governmeat be
thrown over to the syndicates to carry on
a schema they think best for thatr private
profit? (Cries of "No, aa")
The speaker at once took up the plat
forme of the Chicago aad St. Louis con-
ventioas and averted that the
of political parties ia past yean of
ibigBoas aad
platforms had
an issue now and the lines nan
drawn to that no one aeed be deceived.
He reminded hk hearers that no one in
the present campaign was deolariBa; for
the gom standard and that never ia the
history of the Uaittd States had a party
dared to write ia its platform a single
ia approval of it .The goal

speaker added that the couatry was bat

premioB which waa indefinite indura
tion if the gold standard were tobecoa
ttaaed, aad if timet were hard now, he
tared, what might be expected whan all
the nations came to demand gold. He
added:
Yon say yea are not conscmsd in what '
others may do. Let me beg you to beware
of subjectiag the interests of the greatest
nation on earth to a gold 'standard until
you are prepared to accept the legitimate
and natural results, of such an act. If.
greed and avarice can blind the judgment
or stifle the consciences of 70,000,000 of
people In the United States, doyou know
that when this policy Is consummated
here the same influences will be turned
toward other silver using countries? If
they can drive silver out here, what nation
can withstand its influence?

1 holders of fixed investments who find that
their property rises as stagnation and dis
tress prevails throughout the world.
These are the ones who come to you and
in the name of honesty beg you to fasten
this standard upon the country. You
' have a right to consider the manner and
the words of tho.-e who come to preach a
' gold standard; these defenders who raise
themselves to the full height of their
moral stature and say: "Shall we allow
the poor, Ignorant, incompetent people to
ruin themselves."
I want you to take this money question
and settle it for yourselves. I understand
that some people, when they want the
votes of employes, go to the employers and
arrange for the delivery. (Loud cries.of
"Mark Hanna, Mark Hanna" and
hisses.) My friends, when we wan, votes
for the Chicago ticket we want to go to
the sovereigns themselves, who are the
only owners of their votes. If the em
ployes of the railroad want to vote for the
Chicago ticket those who are in charge of
the road have no right to prevent them
and under the Australian ballot they can
not prevent it. I want to feel that 1 have
behind me a majority of the people who
will stand by me while I put in force
every word of the Chicago platform, if
there is power in the government to do. it.
My friends, they call us anarchists. No
man who owns property that he came 'by
honestly need fear that a hair upon his
head will bo disturbed. And, a to the
Chicago platform, If it means anything,
means that we shall go back. to the period'
when the motto of this government "was
"equal rights to all and special privileges
to none," we do' not want to appeal .to
those who wish to use the government Jor
private ends. We do not appeal to those
who want the government to stand by and
protect them while they trample upon the
rights of citizen. We want the support
of those who will want to becurc for this
government the love of . every citizen for
making the government so good as to de
serve the love of every citizen.
St. Paul, Sept. 1. There was noth-
ing in the program for the G. A. R. en-
! campment yesterday besides the recep-
tion of Commander-in-Chief Walker

Walker and several other ladies accom
panied the party.
Arrangements for each department
arriving has been made in advance and
the local aide in charge of them was
promptly on hand to escort the veter
ans to their quarters and see that they
were properly housed and cared for. The
trains were nearly all delayed and the
rush was. thereby scattered throughout
the day more than would have been
otherwise possible. . . -.
As fast as. one train discharged its
load another took its place and the
stream of visitors passing through the
big anion depot teemed endless. Every
where present were the white-capped
boys of the information brigade which
did much to steer the crowd in the right
direction and save blocking of the depot
aad streets. The earliest arrivals were
those from Minnesota and the adjoining
states and nearly every post in the state
was oat in almost full force with crowds
of friends.
Pittsburg posts .and prominent men
from that section arrived on the Bur
lington at noon.
A Minneapolis and St. Louis special
early in the day brought in thelowa
department headquarters.
The. Omaha alone had 25 specials to
day from different directions. The
trains with those from the more, distant
points came in during the afternoon and
by tonight when the Tag reception to
the commander-in-chief will be given
the dtjrwill be pretty well filled. The

Norfolk Journal: The test of beets
made at the factory the first of the week
showed a sugar content running as high
as 11 per cent and a purity coefficient
running aa high as 79. This wopld in
dicate that -the beets are rapidly ap
proaching ripeness, as the tests show
nearly as good results as were shown
when the factory started last year. The
crop this year is an immense one, and
the factory people are evidently making
preparations to get an early start.
The Monroe Looking Glass is always
on the watch for any-enterprise that
will bring to our neighbor village, busi
ness and money, in other words people
and products. A recent paragraph con
tains the suggestion of a bridge across
the Loup at that place, on the co-operative
plan: "John Kyle was over on
Tuesday and he is now anxious for a
ferry. We prefer a bridge, and so does
he. Let us have a bridge on the line
between Lost Creek and Monroe town
ships, and the three townships build it.
All such bridges ought to be county
affairs, but we can hardly afford to
wait."
Fremont Herald: The perplexing
question of admitting non-resident
pupils to the High school was taken up
and thoroughly discussed. It has
been demonstrated by careful ob
servation that to admit such pupils at a
sum less than $3 each per month would
be a loss to the board. The present law
says that $2 may be allowed but that
county commissioners may pay 83 at
their option but it shall not be compul
sory on their part. There is a case now
before the Supreme conrt from Lan
caster county to test the constitution
ality of the law and a decision is await
ed -, with anxiety by school officers
throughout 'the state. Bearing on the
question the following resolution was
adopted: Whereas, it now appears that
the High school will be crowded the
coming year beyond its capacity: Be it
resolved, that non-resident pupils be
not admitted while this crowded condi
tionshall exist.

Excelsior slate paint will make it as
good as new. Most economical roof
paint known. It's water proof, it's fire
proof, and it stands for years. Ebonite
varnish will save your tin roofs. It ar
rests rnst. Saves continual repairing.
Lasts three times as long as mineral
paint. My roofing-cement is much bet
ter than solder. Applied by the under
signed, who can be seen at A. W. Arm
strong's on Eleventh street.
Do not destroy your old roofs until
you see and consult me, as I can save
you many dollars, by repairing with
slate paint.

To Chicago aad the East.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives - in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. AH classes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri' river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished 'with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trains of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
