How Governor Holcomb "Settled"
With State Treasurer Hartley.
.
The failure of Governor Holcomb to
malic a proper settlement with State
Treasurer Bartley iu 1893, and the ac
ceptance of a worthless bond, whereby
the state lost half a million dollars, is a
matter of record that will not soon be
forgotten by the people of Nebraska.
That Holcomb was to blame for this
loss the record clearly shows, his own
halting and confused evidence given in
the bond trial being the best proof.
The public mind needs only to be re
freshed. Holcomb was elected gov
ernor in the fall of 1894. Bartley had
served two years as treasurer and there
was a suspicion tliat his accounts were
in lad shape. The governor-elect was
warned by Rosewater and others that
the treasurer wasa defaulter and that a
very careful accounting should be had,
to protect the state.
Iu spite of this warning, and in spite
of the law, the new governor plainly
entered into a deal with Bartley. After
a long private consultation he accepted
a new bond upon which most of tho
old and already accountable bondsmen
qualified for fabulous sums. No at
tempt was made to examine into the
real worth of the bond.
One of the bondsmen was the presi
dent of a bank that held over 200,000
of state money. The bank was not a
depository and the deposit was unlaw
ful. Governor Holcomb knew this aud
yet he accepted this bank president as
a bondsman, qualifying in the sum of
$200,000 "over and above all debts and
liabilities." The public knew then and
knows now that the deposit was unlaw
ful, and that the bondsman was not
worth anything like the sum mentioned.
The acceptance of the straw bond was
bad enough, but the worst part of the
deal was iu the pretended settlement
with the treasurer. The transcript of
Holconib's evidence in the Omaha trial
is the best proof , and it is accessible to
alL
According to this testimony, Holcomb
first held a private consultation with
Bartley, and then they entered the
treasurer's office, where they remained
about two hours. The governor says he
looked over a ledger or some such book in
which there were some accounts. He is
not sure what book or what accounts.
Then Bartley produced a cigar box
containing some slips of paper, repre
senting what should have been about
400,000 in cash. He also produced
some $50,000 in cosh. Tho law required
it all to be iu cash, but, according to
Holcoiub's testimony, "the law was a
farce and a sham." This testimony is
a matter of record.
The governor did not examine the
slips of paper closely. He admitted
that ho did not know sure whether
they were genuine. He knew that the
one bank which was not a legal deposi
tory was represented in the cigar box
by a slip calling for over $200,000.
The story of the "settlement" is best
told in the exact words of the record.
The case was heard at Omaha in Feb
ruary, 1898. Governor Holcomb was on
the stand, and the following extract is
from pages 617 to G23 of the record, bill
of exceptions:
Question. I ask what he was chargeable
with?
Answer. $956,000 or 1958,000, if I re
member rightly; that included the money
in suspended banks.
Q. i understand. There was about
$47,000 only in cash
A. In tbe treasury vaults; either that
or $57,090.
Q. There was about $341,000 that was
tied, up in suspended banks, was there
not;
A. Yes, sir; I think so.
Q. That would leave about $718,000 in
loose money?
A. In that neighborhood; I was think
ing it was about fifteen thousand; I may
not nave tne exact ngures.
Q. I will ask you again what it was he
brought these papers teat you call certifi
cates of deposit out in?
A. Well, as I remember, it was a little
box.
Q. Cigar box?
A. Something of that shape.
Q. Of the balance of this, outside of
the $47,000 he produced none of it in cash
or if it was $57,000, you may say it may
be?
A. No, sir; no different from what I
said.
Here followed a few questions as tc
what Holcomb had testified to on a former
occasion, and the examination continued:
Q. He opened this box that was like a
cigar box; did he show you these papers
he had?
A. I do not remember that it had any
cover.
S. And then took out papers that he
ed checks and certificates of deposit,
did he?
A. He took out mostly certificates of
deposit. There may have been a few
checks.
Q. Have you a list of these?
A. Xo. sir.
Here followed some questions covering
the same ground, and the examination
concluded as follows:
Q. And then he brought out a box that
looked like a cigar box, from which he
took a lot of papers that he called certio
rates of deposit, amounting from $440,000
to $449,000?
A. I do not know whether he called
them certificates of depost or not; they
were certificates of deposit mostly. There
may have been some bank checks.
Q. He showed you the papers?
A. He showed me the certificates of
lenoslt.
Q. You looked them over and took no
list of them?
A. Xo, sir, I took no list of them.
Q. Took no memorandum of them?
A. O. 1 tVllr nn mMnravnilniii a
them.
O. And you turned them back to him
and he put them back in the cigar box
and wen off with them. It that right?
do is to whip the
B. REESE.
A. He put them in the vault.
Q. Did you sec him put them in the
vault?
A. I will not say positively that I did.
Q. And that was the end of the exami
nation? A. Yes, that was the end of It.
The man who gave this weak and
halting testimony who accepted a
worthless bond who made an illegal
settlement with a defaulting official
who declared the law of the state to be
"a farce and a sham," and by his fail
ure to enforce it caused the state to lose
half a million -dollars, is now a candi
date for a place on the supreme bench.
The people will not be deceived the
second time. The record is open for
their investigation. They will decide
to place a jurist on the bench. The
professional politician with the unsav
ory record will not be given further op
portunity. THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS.
Hob. BC B. Reese. Candidate For Justice
ef the Supreme Court.
Judge M. B. Reese has been a resi
dent of Nebraska 23 years. He is a na
tive of Illinois, having been born in
Macoupin county in 1839. He received
a common school education and being
desirous of further culture attended a
seminary for two years, paying his own
expenses. During that period he de
veloped the spirit of independence and
self-reliance characteristic of all men
who attain eminence. His father was a
farmer and the son followed the same
occupation until he was 24 years old.
Meanwhile Mr. Reese had married and
settled down, but an accident occurred
which disabled bis arm for life.
Mr. Reese then commenced the study
of law. Shortly after the breaking out
of the war he enlisted, but when he
came to undergo the physical examina
tion necessary, much to his chagrin, he
was rejected because of the injury re
ferred to. He then again applied him
self to the study of law and was admit
ted to practice in March. 1865. He
practiced in Osceola, la., until 1871,
when he came to Nebraska. He bar
lived in Plattsmouth and Wahoo and
now in Lincoln.
Judge Reese was elected a member of
the state constitutional convention in
1875 and assisted in framing our pres
ent constitution. In the following year
he was chosen for state senator by the
Republicans of his district, but he de
clined the nomination. In the fall of
1870 he was elected district attorney of
the then Fourth judicial district and
was re-elected in 1878 and again in 1889,
practically without opposition.
In November, 1882, Mr. Reese re
signed his position, lacking two months
of holding it six years. In the fall of
1883 he was nominated for the position
of supreme judge and was elected, re
maining on tbe bench for six years.
About six years ago Judge Reese was
appointed dean of 'the law department
of the State University of Nebraska,
which position he still holds.
For UalTerslty Reseats.
Dr. W. B. Ely was born in Boston in
1842. His parents died while he was
quite young. He began the study of
music at an early age and taught music
in tho female seminary at Canandaigua,
N. Y., several years also in the female
seminary at Rome, Ga. He commenced
studying medicine at Rome, Ga.,
aud entered the college of medicine at
tbe University of Michigan in 1870,
graduated in 1878, practiced medicine
in New York until 1889, when he re
moved to Aiusworth, Neb., where he
has resided ever since. Dr. Ely was a
candidate for state senator in tne Four
teenth district in 1896, on the Republi
can ticket, and cut a majority of 1,000
down to 250. He is considered one of
the brightest and best physicians in
northwest Nebraska, having a very
large practice iu Brown and surround
ing counties. He is a good citizen and
highly esteemed by all.
Edmund G. McGilton, nominee for
regent of the State university, was born
in Wisconsin 40 years ago. When he
was 13 year old his father moved on a
farm and from then on his boyhood and
youth was that of a farmer's son. He
attended the State University of Wis
consin, graduating therefrom in 188$,
and afterward tbe law department of
the same institution, from which he
graduated in 1885. In 1898 he came to
Omaha and engaged in ths practice of
law and has practiced his profession
there ever since, and has attained a
position in the estimation of his fellow
jurists which can be placed second to
that of but few lawyers in the state.
The author of "In His Steps," the
famous religious book, of which over
three million copies have now been sold,
has been induced to answer, in an arti
cle which he has sent to The Ladies'
Home Journal, the question which un
consciously comes to the mind after
reading his book: "Is this plan practica
ble in our present daily life?" Mr.
Sheldon does not evade the question,
but answers it in a direct and vigorous
manner, and tells exactly what he be
lieves would be tbe effect of his plan
upon modern business methods and
present-day social life.
Ralph J. Pcgblet was born in Pern,
Illinois, came to Nebraska in 1885, grad
uated at High school at Genoa, finished
his academical work at Gates college.
Assisted his father on farm for two years,
and took a business course at Fremont.
Studied law in office for a time and then
went to Lincoln law college, and while
there the call for volunteers was made.
He enlisted in Co. K, First Nebraska
National Guards, was mustered into the
U. S. service, took part in the capture of
Manila and other engagements in tne
insurrection of the Filippinos.
The Judicial Vominets '
The nominees for judges of the Sixth j
'district, made by the republican con
vention, held Monday at Columbus, are
both men well fitted for the positions
they seek.
Andrew R. Oleson, of Fremont, is a
young attorney who has in many a hard
fought legal contest demonstrated his
rkrtfocotAnul ifi1itv Ha ifi n fOful 11 Hf.
yer. with a keen sense of justice and
equity and would prove an acceptable
judge.
His office holding has been con-
fined to u teim as county attorney in
Cuming county, where he showed his
personal popularity anu mgu sianuing i
by overcoming a large democratic ma
jority. W. T. Thompson, of Central City, is a
man of the highest standing, both at
tbe bar and before tho public as a citi
zen. Of excellent habits and instincts,
cultured, reliable and safe, he is an ideal
candidate. He 6at in the last session of
the state legislature as a member of the
lower bouse from Merrick county. He
was an acknowledj. il leader in that
body, occupying tho chairmanship of
the Finance committee. There he
proved anew his solid worth aud gained
the highest respect of political friend
and foe.
These two candidates deserve the
heartiest support of the public. Fre

Development of the Iron Trade.
The vast development of the iron in
dustry of the United States in the last
twenty years is set forth by tbe Spring
field Republican in the following table
showing the production of pig iron in
tons and the imports and exports of
manufactured iron in value:

Twenty years ago, with mountains of
iron ore and whole counties of coal, our'
imports of manufactured iron amounted
to 340,000,000 more than our exports
and last year our exports amounted to
$80,000,000 more than our imports,
making a change of $120,000,000. Grad
ually the resources of our great country
are being developed and already we are
in the markets of the world with manu
factured iron and taking a leading place.
The press, and public generally, of
the district has received with favor tho
nomination of the republican judicial
convention. The strength of the ticket
and the capabilities of the two candi
dates are universally acknowledged. A.
R. Oleson of Fremont is an attorney of
ability and is held in high esteem by
members of the bar. W. T. Thompson
of this city is the peer of any nttorney
in the district. None will question his
qualifications or fitness for the place.
During the recent session of tho legisla
ture he was the acknowledged leader of
the hard working, business element of
the house and by his diligence, conser
vatism and wise leadership acquired a
state reputation of the most flattering
character. His legislative record com
bined with his high standing among
members of the bar brought him the
present nomination entirely unsolicited
on his part. Naturally Merrick county
is strongly interested in Mr. Thompson's
candidacy and will give him a handsome
majority. It will be no political test in
this county, as some of Mr. Thompson's
warmest supporters for the judgeship
are men opposed to the republican par
ty, but who appreciate his fitness and
are desirous of seeing a Merrick county
man for once seated upon the district
bench. Central City Nonpareil.
"Vert long will be the way, very hard
the hills to climb with Slippery Si Hol
comb weighing down the popocratic
band wagon in Nebraska." These pa
thetic words from a part of an editorial
that appeared in the Papillion Times
shortly before the late convention of the
allied forces of reform. They were the
spontaneous utterance of n man who
has long been recognized as one of the
foremost fighters in the serried ranks of
popocracy. They were spoken before
the party lash had been swung by the
bosses over the heads of those who would
dissent from ring rule. Howard is si
lent now, because Bryan demands it.
But, is Silas Holcomb any less slippery
than when those lines were written? If
he was dishonest then, is it likely that
he is honest now, or will be by and by?

"More men are employed in the mines
today than ever before, although silver

price has appreciated slightly, and this
condition has been brought about large

cents a pound. Now it is worth $425
per 100 pounds. There has been no in
crease in freight rates, so the manufac
turer gets the benefit of the advance."

O. E. Steinbaugh of Humphrey, is
the republican candidate for sheriff.
The republicans believe in honoring the
worthy young men of the party, by plac
ing them among the standard bearers,
and thus making them responsible
somewhat for the actions of the party.
The republican party recognizes no
office-holding class, recognizes no calling
of citizens from whose number candi
dates for office must come. He is a good
citizen and a republican is sufficient
He may be a mechanic, a farmer, a busi
ness man or a professional man, all the
same, any man is just as good as anoth
er, if he behaves himself. Mr. Stein
baugh is a good mechanic, an excellent
blacksmith, and a man who behaves
himself as he ought Give him your
vote for sheriff, and you will not regret
it. He is a plain, fair, honest young
man, and will appreciate your help.

Appreciation is one of tbe great
things in this human life of ours, and
there is no doubt, whatever, about it,
not a particle. Yon can see how it
works by looking at extremes. There
are multitudes of young girls learning
music many of whom will doubtless be
good singers or good instrumentalists,
some of them eminently such, and per
haps one in a thousand show extraordi
nary aptitnde; may be one in ten thou
sand like Fraulein Ternina, who is at
present tbe best paid Wagnerian soprano
in Germany, which means the best paid
of all singers. She bps refused the
highest salary ever offered a soprano at
a German opera bouse 911,000 a year.
If she had never appreciated the worth
of music in any degree, however, she
never would or could have attained to
what she has, and right here appears
one of the chief aids that communities
and parents can give the youth of the
land. They can so provide, by courses
of study, etc., that latent faculties can
be cultivated, susceptibilities developed,
effort for improvement so encouraged
that the best possible attainments can
be made. By the way, just in tbe line
of music in Columbus, there has been
abundant proof of what we are writing,
ana mere are now cases or botn young
boys and girls that are being watched
with growing interest.
For all fresh cuts or wounds, in
either tbe human subject or in animals,
as a dressing, BALLARD'S SNOW LIN
IMENT is excellent; while for sores on
working horses, especially if slow to
heal, or suppurating, its healing quali
ties are unequaled. Price 25 and 50 cte.
