We have before the republican
party of the Twenty-sixth senatorial
district a man who has ever been a suc
cessful farmer, business man and
official, 8. C. Gray of Columbus. His
influence in regard to the ship of state
is just as important to us as that of any
higher office. When we elect McKinley
let us make a clean sweep of it and put
the entire republican ticket through.
Vote for S. C. Gray. Schuyler Sun.

there were 20,000 people to witness the

miles and camping near the show
grounds. The town was profusely de
corated with bunting. The irrigation
exhibit was also quite an attraction.
J. Y. Wolfe of Lincoln spoke here
with W. T. Porter. Both are candi
dates on the populist state ticket, the
former for land commissioner, the latter
for secretary of state. Our Lincoln cork
respondent gives a little chapter in his"
tory, to which Mr. Wolfe made no refer
ence when he spoke here the other
evening. It is more or less interesting
aa a aide-light in the present state cam
paign. Wolfe ia a very much smarter
man than he gave evidence of in his
speech here, which waa made late in the
evening immediately after his arrival on
the train from Lincoln, following Porter
and duplicating nearly all attempted
points. Just read what Wolfe had to
say a year or so ago, to and concerning
the head of the ticket of which he him

Hanna aa a plutocrat he ia not ranning
for any omce in thia campaign. He ia
working for hit friend McKinley, we
grant, and seemingly he is doing moat
excellent work, but why not, Mr. Have
meier, direct your attention to "pluto

Bryan candidates for vice-president? If
your love for the p-o-o-r people is ao
exceedingly great that every man who
differs from you in opinion aad happens

An old soldier, who heard Havemei
er's speech last week, expresses himself
very indignantly over his tirade against
the old generals, who thought proper to
make a tour of the country in favor of
McKinley, protection, reciprocity, sound
finance, sound government policies gen
erally, and as much consequent prosper
ity as can be reckoned as the result of
wise legislation and just administration.
Those old fellows have as much right to
speak in favor of thdr present political
views as they had to endanger their
lives iu 1861-5 in the defense of their
country on battle fields. Havemder
can "shoot off his mouth" now in a
country that these gray-beards helped
to save. But for them and others like
them, we might have had here thirty or
forty puallanimons countries instead of
the Federal Union. Republicans are
not ashamed of their party's record it
has been the best of any political party
of our history, and the firm determina
tion is to keep it such.
Mrs. Elia W. Peattie, the noted
writer of Omaha and who haa for several
years been on the editorial staff of the
Omaha World-Herald, leaves today for
her new home in Chicago.. She is a very
talented body and has a humanitarian
interest in her fellow-creatures that
leads her to strive for their betterment
In the way of story-writing she has al
ready acquired local fame, and The
Journal will not be surprised to see
that fame broaden until she becomes a
national character. The true novelist
must have heart interest in a theme, a
lively imagination, literary talent, and
the opportunity to unite all in a work of
absorbing personal and public interest
Nebraska may well be proud of such
women as Mrs. Peattie. A publio recep
tion was tendered her Monday evening
by the Woman's club of Omaha at the
Commercial club parlors.
We are in receipt of a book of 256
pages on The Tariff in the Days of Hen
ry Clay and Since, by William McKin
ley. It is a complete statement of the
problems of government where they
touch upon the raising of funds by
means of which to administer the affairs
of state. Tariff tinkering and tariff
lowering has been invariably followed
by a lowering of the surplus and the
creation of a defidt while a protective
tariff policy pursued for a term of years,
has been invariably followed by an in
creasing revenue, payment of the publio
debt in large sections and the creation
of a surplus. To the thoughtful stu
dent of public affairs there is perhaps
no bettor plea for the election of its
author, Mr. McKinley, to the presidency,
although we find not a single phtase in
the book that could be distorted into a
personal solicitation for votes.
In & C. Gray the citizens of the
Twenty-sixth senatorial district will
have a representative of their business
interests who will do them strict justice
at the state capitoL He believes in the
transaction of public business on the
same general prindples as that of pri
vate business. He is' a trained thinker
and is fearless in the expression of bis
opinions. He is well informed in pub
lio matters and would, no doubt, from
tbe opening of the session to its dose
take leading part in all important
measures before the senate. He ia not
a politician, in the narrow sense of that
term, but a business man, named for
this important and honorable office be
cause bis fdlow-citizens know him as
just-minded, safe, careful, fair and
watchful of the public welfare.
p The Wild West show passed through
the dty Sunday morning between 6 and
7 to North Platte, where they were to
exhibit Monday. There were two
trains and consisted of forty-five cars.
The performances Saturday at Omaha
were witnessed by ten thousand people;
in tbe evening there was a large crowd
notwithstanding the severe weather.
Tuesday evening of last week about
supper time some one stole from John
L. Sturgeon's big barn a" set of double

republican candidate for float
representative waa born September 1,
1852, at Carmarthenshire, South Wales.
He left that country for America on tbe
22dday of April, 1872. He arrived at
Columbus, Nebr., May 6, 1872, and has
resided in Platte county ever since, en
gaged ail the while in farming. His
first farm waa a homestead of 160 acres;
he haa acquired altogether 1021 acres of
land, and has no encumbrance on the
same or indeed one dollar of indebted
ness of any kind.
Mr. Thomas is blessed with a wife and
six children, four sons and two daugh
ters. With their aid, supplementing
his own management he has earned his
position in the world. His word is as
good aa his bond, and you can rely on
what he tells you, politically or other
wise. Mr. Thomas is not. an office
seeker; not a politician in any sense
but that in which every man interested
in the publio welfare is a politidan.
His nomination by the district conven
tion on the 29th of September was un
sought by him, and was unanimous.
Wise in deeds, when be represents you
at Lincoln you can count on your work
being aa carefully done by him aa is his
own work at home.

At the meeting last Friday evening,
E. W. Funk appeared and stated that
he had paid into the dty treasury at
least half the tax no nosed against an
auctioneer doing a general business,
since the 11th day of April, 1896, and
asked the privilege of obtaining a li
cense for the remainder of the present
fiscal year by paying half the price of a
