No further personal mention of the republican candidates, is-necessary.

He then went to Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1965, remaining as foreman of the Warren Live Stock company for fourteen years, and came to Duncan, Platte coanty, in 1SS7, where he has for a considerable portion of the time ever since been their resident manager. He is now in the grain basmeas at Duncan for himself, and is not only one in interest with, the citizens of the districts, but understands and appreciates, their needs, and when elected to the office will serve them as a good, faithful business aaan, honestly and effectively.

The Union Pacific railroad bridge over the Loup caught fire again Sun day, but was discovered and extinguish ed before doing much damage. Suffice to say that the foot-ball game Saturday afternoon, between Da vid City and Columbus teams resulted in favor of the latter, score 12 to 11. and an all-around good game, witnessd by a large crowd of interested spectators. The Platte County Argus of Friday prints a screed over the president and secretary of something (not named, but supposed to be the populist or fusion central committee) that they "have received positive information that the republicans are expecting to buy this coming election next Tuesday by buying ten fusion votes in every precinct in the state." That, as there are 2.700 pre cinets. this means 27,000. which means of course republican victory; that $60,000 had been placed with Bosewater, etc and so on; that the men thus bought to stay away from the polls will not be paid if their names are found on the poll books after election. This pronuncia mento is supposed to be able to do some thing to stay the tide that is threatening to overwhelm the leaking fusion craft, but it assumes that voters are both ignorant and corrupt, and can readily be bought to work against their political sentiments. What is to be thought of such a cause, anyhow? We have receiv ed positive information," they say. Nw, if they had, wouldn't they make proof 'so that the remainder of us would also have -positive information"? Of course they would. Who believes that Mark Hanna money is being used in Nebraska? If even one-hundredth part of what fusion papers in Ohio are saying is true. Mark Hanna has his hands full at home, but they are just as far from the truth as the Nebraska fusion papers. Republican party methods have always been sound. They have no Tammany hall organiza tions; they have never had a Ku-Kmr clan in any part of the country to help out in an exigency; they have always submitted to the constituted authorities, although they were morally sure that an unfair count had been made against them; they believe in majority rule, where everything has been fairly done. Publicity is like light, and republicans have always believed in turning on the light, and letting it shine into the dark places. The truth is that the rank and tile of the fusion party are opening their eyes to the enormity of the blunders that their party leaders have been and are making and are by scores and hun dreds getting out of the road that is leading them from the tiag and all that it means. Bebuke the leaders that pre sume to treat you as both corrupt and ignorant. TO THE VOTERS OF PLATTE COUNTY! Upon my return from a visit with relatives in Wisconsin, where I went short ly after my return from the Philippines, I found that certain parties, who are unfavorable to my election, have been-industriously circulating the statement that I was not intending to re turn to Nebraska; that I did not want the office of County Clerk, etc. I wish to say I regret that I was detained in Wisconsin longer than I expected to be, by rea son of sickness, but am glad to say that I am now here and doing my level best to be elected, and would earnestly and respectfully solicit the suffrages of the voters of Platte county.

In view of this report those who re fuse to go to the polls and exercise their rights as American citizens cannot complain if unworthy mo tives are attributed to them. The list of voters in the various precincts of the county should be closely watched and a record made of those who refuse to go the polls." Journal readers will please notice that into the Argus this thing went, over signatures of party officials, and not with the editorial responsibility.

In reply to the editorial in the last issue of the Telegram, beaded ''Nothing but a Bluff," I can only say that the statements contained in the article are is full keeping with the methods em ployed by Mr. Phillips, not only in this, bat in previous campaigns in trying to convince the people that he is a fearless, honest and conscientious official, seeking to perform his official duties as the law directs. The facts about the alternative writ of mandamus are as follows: On October 26, !, I requested Mr. Phillips to let me see the ticket he had prepared for the printer, and I directed his atten tion to the fact that our last legislature had passed a law providing that the political party which cast the greatest vote for the head of the ticket at the last general election should have the right to have the names of its candi dates placed first upon the ticket. That there was east for M. L. Hayward 9262 votes, and for W. A. Poynter, by the democrats, people's independent and silver republican 96,703 votes; that the law further provided that no party should have the right to have its name placed upon the ballot unless it cast one per cent of the entire vote cast at the last general election. It requires only a slight computation for any sane person to determine that the republican candidates were entitled to have their names printed first upon the ballot. Mr. Phillips was requested to delay printing the ballots until the question could be submitted to one of the judges of this district. On Friday, the 27th, a petition was filed against him to require him to comply with the law. He had promised to enter a voluntary appear ance, file an answer at once, and consent that the ease be tried on Saturday as one of the judges was to be here then. On Saturday, after making this agree ment, he declined to either enter his appearance or file an answer and the judge being a candidate himself refused to hear the case. We were compelled to have papers issued requiring him to answer on the 31st of October and show cause why he had not complied with the law. He did file an answer on that day, in which the only substantial reason given for non compliance is a lack of time." On Saturday, the 25th. Judge Hollenbeck promised to try to get us a judge to try the case at once, and on Wednesday, Nov. 1st. both he and Jndge Grimison were here, and said they could not get a judge to try the case until after election. Mr. Phillips admits the right of the republican candidates to have their names first printed on the ballots, by plactng the names of the other three parties all upon it, and it is an extreme ly shallow excuse for not complying with the law, to say, I had not time." after by his own failure to keep his word, he had secured a delay from Sat urday to Tuesday. As a public officer he has no business to consider his own personal interest, as a candidate, but Mr. Phillips is a candi date for re-election. He feared to com ply with this law. and cause an honest ballot to be printed, for fear it might cost him votes. I can further say that we were prepared to try this case before Judge Hollenbeck or any other judge and so stated both on Saturday and on Wednesday, and on Saturday, after Judge Hollenbeck had left here, Mr. Phillips, in order to evade any action the court might take, caused the ballots to be printed on the night of October 25, and during the day of the 29th. Mr. Phillips as a candidate, knew we could not prevent him from so doing, until we had served the alternative writ of man damus upon him. and by his failure to keep his word on Saturday he prevented this until after the ballots were printed. This may be politics, but it is not the act of an honest public official. J. G. Reedeb, Chairman. Republican Co. Central Committee. The Omaha World-Herald of Sun day gives the sample ballot for Douglas county, the republican at the head of the list where it belongs. The fusion forces will make no votes by violating the law, as has been done in this county. Fair-minded voters are indignant. LOOK OUT FOE TEICKS. fiemeaber 1897, and see That the Count is Fair. Thomas Jefferson, the model democrat of the old school, often called the father of democracy, said: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and the maxim finds exemplification constantly. The political party that does not stand guard for its rights and its privileges will lose them just in the ratio of its neglect. Remember 1597. The ballot manipu lators are again in evidence. The popocrattc machinery is in readi ness for working and the same three men who engineered the infamous recount fraud in 1597 may be confidently expect ed to try it again. We are informed that word has gone out that two or three votes must be gained in each precinct, by fair means or fouL Republicans mnst be watch ful, active, at band to see that no frauds are committed. Watch the double-cross. If one who cannot read expresses a desire to vote the republican ticket, see that he is not deceived, and another sort fixed up for him. Of what good is your nzht to vote, if the due effect of your ballot may be annulled by the fraudulent cast or count of another? We have never had in Nebraska, a set of men more ravenous for tfae spoils of politics" than the present so-called reform administration, who are seeking to perpetuate their reign. Let us begin now to make the much needed change. The place for republican work is to get out the vote on election day; see that no fraudulent votes are cast; that ignorant voters are not deceived; that a fair count is made and properly returned. Then let it be plainly understood that he who violates the law of elections will be made to suffer the penalty, no matter who he may be. On Wednesday last a fire-drill was given for the first time at the new High school building to the 225 pupils, all getting out of the building in good order one and one-fourth minutes after the gong sounded.
