We are informed that the hog
thieves have a rather novel method of
disposing of the inconvenient squeal of
the hog that is being taken they use

out the alarming squeal of the hog giv

It has been a custom ("more honored
ia the breach than in the observance'')
for aomiaeesto office ia thia eouaty to
make a house to house campaign, and
some of my friends have criticised me
for set doing so. To yoa alL-I wish to
state that as much as I would like to
visit you, as a neighbor aad friend, it
has been impossible for me to do so
without neglecting my office datiea.
I. take it for granted that the tax
payers regardless of party, who are in
terested ia the county's affairs, will
investigate for themselves aad vote for
those whom they believe-to be best fitted
for the poaitioas they maybe nominated
to fill, regardless of personal solicitation
or political belief. The office of county
attorney ia not a political one, and
should you see fit to elect me to fill that
office I have no political positions to
offer or hold out to you, and all I can
promise is to fill the office to the interest
of good government and the tax payers.

Mrs. J. D. Stires has just received
from the publishers conies of a three-act
farce entitled "Masonry Exposed by
means of the X Ray," of which she is
the author. The play takes about an
hour and a half for presentation, and
from reviewing the work, we should
consider it very good, indeed. The play
is to represent the secret workings of
the Masonic order, in a ludicrous man
ner, and is especially amusing to that
fraternity.
Harry Newman has very strong
objections to thieving parties entering
his cornfields and husking backward
and forward' along the very best parts of
the fields. Thieves who are not satisfied
to take the corn rows as they come, are
not entitled to very much consideration
when it comes to shooting, and will
probably find themselves filled with
bigger shot than if they had been a little
more considerate of the rights of the
corn-owner.
Ghordis Stull, an old-time resident
of Columbus, but who for a number of
years past has lived at Marengo, IU.,
arrived in the city Wednesday at 10:45,
having left bis home the day before at
3:45 p. m. We believe that he still owns
his old farm homestead in Polk county.
Mr. Stull looks in excellent health. He
gives it as his opinion that the majority
for McKinley in Illinois will be some
thing to be proud of, but he thinks it
will be a close contest for governor,
Altgeld being shrewd and thoroughly
unscrupulous.
At Boheet Thursday evening last,
C. J. Garlow made a speech of unusual
length and strength to a large assem
blage of voters, and he was listened
to with marked attention. Post
master Davis of this city who hap
pened to be present, was called upon for
a speech and tried to excuse himself by
saying that he was a democrat, but the
crowd were in for another speech and
Mr. Davis then gave them quite a talk
in explaining how it was that as a dem
ocrat he cannot support Bryan. Thou
sands of democrats will vote for Mc
Kinley in the interest of prosperity and
good government.
John Wiggins has served one year
as one of the supervisors for this dis
trict; he has done his full duty in every
respect that we know of, and he deserves
re-election. While there is small pay
attached to the office (a mere nothing
considering the importance of the trusts
imposed), it is necessary that there be
chosen to the office men who will act in
the public interest. As chairman of the
board Mr. Wiggins has been perfectly
fair and impartial in his rulings. The
board have had unusual work, and in
curred unusual responsibility the past
year consequent upon the shortage in
the county treasury by an ex-treasurer
and the complications arising in the
effort to save the county whole in the
matter, but through it all, Chairman
Wiggins has been alert, prompt, fair and
efficient, doing for the county with the
least possible outlay. Mr. Wiggins is
level-headed and hence his judgment in
any emergency is to be relied upon as
being calm and deliberate. He deserves
re-election.
The Columbus Telegram devoted a
column of its space last week to a fake
letter purporting to have been written
at Southport, England, by George W.
Francis to a Mr. John James of Howard
county, South Dakota, in which it is
stated that at a cotton factory in Man
chester, England, the general superin
tendent had solicited a subscription of
all the men to be sent to America
money to aid in the election of McKin
ley and to fight the free coinage of sil
ver; that he had told them if free coin
age was established in America they
would have to pay double price for their
flour, etc. That they had raised 67.
The article, as gotten up by the Bryan
committee and sent out to their news
papers, is calculated to mislead, but the
truth of the matter is that George
Frances of Pierre, S. D., denounces the
fac simile letter now being used, as a
rank forgery, and has prepared sworn
statements refuting every statement
made by the alleged recipient of the
letter in regard to himself. This denial
is printed in the dailies of Oct. 24.
Willard F. Beckett, who is a travel
ing salesman for an Omaha wholesale
harness establishment, and a gentleman
well known to many Joubxai. readers,
has brought suit against the Rock Island
Railway company for $5,000 damages,
alleged to have been sustained by hav
ing been ejected from one of the defend
ant's trains at a little country station in
Kansas Tne Omaha Bee states the case
as set forth in the petition: "The peti
tioner alleges that he is a traveling man
and that he purchased a 1,000-mile ticket
from the defendant last February. He
also alleges that in July of this year he
was a passenger on one of the defend
ant's regular trains, boarding the cars at
Rexford and intending to go as far as
Norton, both towns being in Kansas
When the conductor asked for his fare
Beckett says that he tendered a portion
of his mileage ticket in payment. The
conductor, he alleges, refused to receive
the mileage and ejected him from the
train at a little station called Selden,
where he was compelled to remain
twenty-four hours before he could get
another train. He alleges that thia de
lay was damaging to his busiaeas and
that he lost several good amies by being
behind hi dates."

C. J. Garlew.
The republican candidate for county
attorney, was born at Fairmont, Marion
county, Virginia, in 1859. He came to
Nebraska, locating in Platte county in
1880, and has lived here ever since, st
first engaging in teaching school, at
Creston, Bismark, Sherman, and in this
city. For the past ten years Mr. Garlow
has been practicing law, and has gained
an enviable reputation in his profession.
There are several qualities that go to
the making of a good lawyer, among
which are: The power of clear-cut
analysis; good common sense applied to
the case in hand and to every phase of
it; a tenacity of purpose that clings to a
case until it is fought out to a finish.
These qualities, Mr. Garlow has, and
they are just the ones now needed in an
attorney for Platte county. The office
is of far more importance than people
generally suppose, the county attorney
being the legal adviser of all county
officers, and we need a man in that office
who will interpret the law just as it is,
without any bias for favorites of any
kind. Garlow will do this, and his so
doing will save many dollars to tax
payers. David Tfcosus.
The republican candidate for float
representative was born September 1,
1852, at Carmarthenshire, South Wales.
He left that country for America on the
22dday of April, 1872. He arrived at
Columbus, Nebr., May 6, 1872, and has
resided in Platte county ever since, en
gaged all the while in farming. His
first farm was a homestead of 160 acres;
he has 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 as 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 public welfare is a politician.
His nomination by the district conven
tion on the 29th of September was un
sought by him, and was unanimous.
Wise in deeds, when he represents you
at Lincoln you can count on your work
being as carefully done by him as is his
own work at home.
George C. SaUta.
The republican candidate for repre
sentative of Platte county was born at
Syracuse, New York, April 3, 1856.
The family moved to Whiteside coun
ty, Illinois, and two years afterward
went to Rock Island county, same state,
where they resided until they moved to
Nebraska in 1880, settling in Lost Creek
township near Monroe, where they have
since resided.
In 1884 Mr. Smith was married to
Miss Lizzie Naylor, and is the happy
father of three children.
Mr. Smith's father, J. R, with his
brothers, are all well and very favorably
known in their community as men of
integrity, industrious, careful, prudent,
painstaking in all their work and thor
oughly alive to the best interests of
township, county, state and nation.
George attended the public schools
near his childhood's home, but his main
training in the science and practice of
thinking has been, like so many of
America's nobly-great men, "near Na
ture? heart," and among the stern reali
ties that more or less environ all who
strive onward and upward.
Mr. Smith is one of those quiet men
who do not thrust themselves forward,
but who take their place in the rank and
file, and desire only the welfare of all,
and their share of the public prosperity.
He believes in maintaining the integri
ty of the government; be stands for the
solid principles of the republican party
and will, in the legislature, be as care
ful of your interests as of his own.
Mr. Gray will make a very compe
tent senator from this district. Thor
oughly equipped for the position as to
information of the needs of the district
and state, he will bring to bear upon
the discharge of the duties of the office
the same motives, the same principles,
the same force of reaaoniag that he has
been wont to exercise in the conduct of
his individual affairs. Honor him with
your ballot, aad he will honor you with
hisasrvisaia tsMssaate,

EDITORIAL.
Tax following from the Madison
Chronicle is the plain, unvarnished
statement of a truth always recognized
by republicans, and now coming to be
seen by just about everybody eke.
Four years of adverse experience have
operated as a very effective object lea
son to the present generation of voters
and the impression has been so deep
that it seems probable this campaign
will end the long-fought contest in favor
of protection, and take the issue out of
politics hereafter. If the election of
McKinley shall succeed in doing this, it
will have accomplished a work second
only in importance to the preservation
of the government from the armed
legions of nullification and rebellion:
"There can be no prosperity in this
country so long as England and other
foreign countries manufacture our
goods for us and our own laboring and
skilled workmen are kept in enforced
idleness. Give us a protective tariff
high enough to keep out foreign goods
and our own mechanics will be set to
work to manufacture for our needs and
the money question will solve itself.
When there is work there is money, and
when there is both work and money, the
farmer finds a home market for his pro
duce that is the best in the world.
Vote for McKinley and Ross Hammond,
the men who believe in keeping Ameri
can workingmen profitably employed
rather than the workingmen of some
other country."
Thb Sound-money, non-partisan league
of Omaha held their first meeting there
last Wednesday evening. The chairman,
in opening, said, among other things,
that he thought they would agree with
him that the election of William McKin
ley is now almost an assured fact, but he
went on to assure them it would be
something of a catastrophe to Nebraska
to see him elected but to have our state
record its vote against him and for the
Chicago platform and candidate. Dr.
Miller, well known to many Journal
readers as the former and old-time able
editor of the Omaha Herald, a man who
perhaps did more than any other one
man in the state for the settlement of
the great northwest and the develop
ment of its natural resources, made a
speech in which he said it was a well
known fact that he had been a democrat
for many years. He felt, however, that
the present financial question was of far
greater importance to the voter than a
strict adherence to party lines. When
the silver platform was adopted in
Chicago which embodied, as he consid
ered, the principles of repudiation and
anarchism he then bade farewell to his
party in the present campaign. He and
hundreds of democrats in the present
crisis would vote for McKinley and
would lso vote the straight republican
ticket in the state.
Bbtajj, who is now using ''free silver"
as a battle-cry, recognizing that there
would be no possible show for a hearing
even on free trade, is the same Bryan
who rejoiced so greatly on the passage
of the Wilson bill, a tariff bill which
discriminated against the great staple
products of the soil of the northern
states and in favor of the staple
products of the soil of the southern
states: corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley,
buckwheat, potatoes and hay were fixed
at an averge of about 20 per cent, while
rice was placed at 83 per cent; peanuts,
72 per cent; sugar, 40 per cent The
total crop of these last-named in the
United States in 1893 amounted to
about $28,000,000, while the cereals crop
mentioned was, for Michigan alone, in
1893 $53,800,000, and yet the southern
producers, according to the theory of
the tariff-reformers, were benefited in
the sum of $18,200,000, while the north
ern farmers, with a product nearly twice
as valuable, were benefited only 310,
760,000. This is a sample of the bill over
the passage of which Btyan, the pres
ent candidate for president, was so ex
cited. He does not deserve a vote of
any farmer thus discriminated against
Thb government on its own account
has coined all the silver that is in circu
lation, and guaranteed it to be kept at a
par with gold. Whatever profit there
was made from the difference in value of
the silver in the dollar and the cost of
the silver went to the government We
have now bimetalism, in that both silver
and gold are used as a circulating
medium and are kept at equal values.
Free and unlimited silver coinage at 16
to 1 means thatthe owner of these silver
mines can take to the United States
mints and for 53 cents worth of silver,
have coined a dollar. This would be a
nice speculation for these silver kings,
but a mighty bad thing for the people.
Everett Press.
Ik all the annals of party history in
this country we do not believe that there
will be found a presidential candidate
who, in all qualities for good, can com
pare with Major McKinley. He has the
solid, enduring foundations of charac
ter; he has the true love of humanity;
he has the love of country; he has the
mental grasp strong enough to include
the interests of every section of the
United States in an analysis of its needs.
His life has been and is, of the life of
the whole country, and he is in close
touch with all that is good in our na
tional life. He is level-headed, cool
headed, well-informed and alert, and
will undoubtedly make a model presi
dent of these United States.
Fbox all that we can learn we believe
that McKinley is to be the next presi
dent of the United States. What he has
said on policies of government will now
be exceedingly interesting as indicative
of what he will do as chief executive.
No man ever entered upon the discharge
of the duties of that office, sustained by
the confidence of his fellow-citizens in
hu integrity of purpose and ability to
manage affairs of state, to such a marked
degree-as Wm. McKinley wilL He will
make a good as well as a great president
Is fourteen years after the close of
the war of the rebellion one-sixth of the
public debt was paid, the interest ac
count was reduced to about one-half,
and government notes without interest
were brought to par with gold. Vote
for the republican ticket
Tbxbb are few combinations of capi
tal that foot up a greater aggregate than
the silver kings represent in their mines,
some $547,000,000. Of course they are
sot altogether uaselfish in their agitation.

Thb Palmer ticket was nominated "in
view of the revolutionary action of the
recent Chicago convention, its repudia
tion of all democratic platforms and
principles, and its condemnation of the
national democratic administration.
So they said when they issued the call,
which strong language, indicative of
still stronger feeling, is probably the
reason of the great animosity apparent
between the two elements of the party.
Why not all vote for McKinley and
make it practically unanimous?
