The repubUcaa meeting at the Maea

attended by a crowded bouse.
The speaker of the evening, Hon. John
R. Haya of Norfolk, the republican can
didate for congress in this district, waa
introduced by Carl Kramer, who pre
sided at the meeting, and for two hours,
in a plain, calm, straight-forward man
ner, he placed before those present, his
views of the national republican candi
dates and the platform of principles
upon which the republican party asks
the support of the voting sovereigns of
the nation.
The pretended issues of militarism
and imperialism he discussed, be con
fessed, with very little patience, as
peing outside the pale of oommoo-eense
and reason. Not a man in the country
anywhere can be found who ia in favor
of imperialism. They thought they had
found one in the shape of an Iowa ed
itor, but it turned out that he had but
recently been released from a lunatic
asylum, and so what he had to aay has
fallen out of the common mind.
Aa to militarism, government by
means of a standing army, there certain
ly was no sensible man foolish enough
to imagine anything, of the sort could
happen in this country, and he in
stanced the Civil war, when the greatest
contest of modern times closed, and the
armies disbanded, went to their homes.
and resumed the usual occupations of
civil life, without any danger at all of
militarism.
What is the use in a large, standing
army, when all the able-bodied men in
the country can be called out in a case
of emergency, when the need of the
country demands?
As it is, the army amounts to nine
sixteenths of a soldier to a township.
Think of nine-sixteenths of a soldier to
the township, and then imagine the ter
ror, which that cry will bring to the sen
sible people of this country!

Omaha, Oct 15. In ao-called tem
perance districts in the state and
among temperance people some of
Governor Poynters friends are trying
to make votes for him by telling -falsehoods
about Charles H. Dietrich, the
Republican candidate for governor.
When they are talking to these people
they tefi stories about Dietrich being
a saloon man, part 'owner of a brew
ery and of making a "saloon cam
paign.' When they speak of Mr.
Dietrich to the saloon element they
tell them, that he Is a rank temperance
man and' Is in favor of prohibition.
There are 50 different places In the
city of Omaha where the minions of
Governor Poynter have been and rep
resented that Charles H. Dietrich
was not alone a temperance man, but
a prohibitionist. They have gone Into
many saloons of this city and cam
paigned against Dietrich on the
ground that he is a temperance man.
In other communities, among church
and temperance people, they have
taken just the opposite tact and cir
culated reports that Dietrich is part
owner of a brewery and Is in league
with the saloon element
Democrats and Populists, some of
them holding office, are going over the
state In the temperance districts In
the guise of temperance advocates at
tacking his record and spreading vic
ious falsehoods about him. It Is
known that one of the state bank ex
aminers has devoted a great deal of
his time to this class of work the last
few months. lie has kept his iden
tity covered up and has been Instru
mental, under the pretense of working
for the good of the temperance cause.
In organizing temperance clubs against
Dietrich and In misleading by false
statements members of churches and
ministers of the gospel.
The statemert that Charles H. Diet
rich, the Republican candidate for
governor, now or at any other time
owned an Interest in a brewery, sa
loon or any other establishment where
liquor was made or sold, or that he is
what Is termed a drinking man. Is as
false and malicious a statement as
any one could possibly make. There
la not a word of truth In it and it Is
absolutely false In each and every par
ticular. In the city of Hastings,
where Mr. Deltrlch has been In busi
ness and resided for many years, he
Is recognised as an exemplary citizen,
temperate. Industrious and a liberal
giver to the churches and to charity.
Since this question has been raised
It may be appropriate to give the good
temperance people some inside history'
concerning Govenor Poynter and the
liquor element The statements here
in made can be easily verified. Here
they are:
Governor Poynter appointed as col
onel on his staff Walter Molse of
Omaha. Molse is in the liquor busi
ness on Fourteenth street between
Farnam and Douglas, in this city, and
owns and controls upwards of 30 sa
loons in different towns In the state.
He sells whisky all over Nebraska.
as much If not more than any other
liquor dealer In the state. Until about
a year ago he was connected with one
Jack Norton, alias John Robenstein. In
the saloon business In the south half
of the building occupied by his whole
sale liquor house. Norton is a des
perate character and his photograph Is
In the rogue's gallery In the Harrison
street police station at Chicago. The
resort run by Molse and Norton was
a veritable dive. Molse stood In with
the police commission at that time
and blackmail was levied on dives,
gamblers, thugs and thieves. These
desperate characters made Norton's
saloon their headquarters and the "li
censed" thieves and thugs met there
and divided up the plunder. The place
became such a resort for bad charac
ters that the authorities finally had to
close it "During a city campaign
which occurred about that time there
was a falling out between Molse and
some of his "heelers" and the result
was that a public circular was issued
In which Moise was openly charged
with being a boodlecand the names
of gamblers were'givenC together with
the amount of money they had to pay
each week for the privilege of break
ing the law. It was even charged that
Norton made a deal or demanded $75
per day from two well-known pick
pockets for the privilege of robbing
the people on street cars during the
exposition, he to stop the police from
arresting them. This is the Molse
who is colonel on Governor Poynter's
staff.
Last spring, just before the city elec
tion. Governor Poynter came to Omaha
and made a deal with the brewers of
this city to appoint a police commis
sion that would permit them to run
their saloons all night and with back
and side doors open on Sunday and
the -brewers In turn were to give up
$1,500 to the Democratic city cam
paign fund. This deal was made in
secret conference. The money was
paid and the police commission was
appointed, but the whole deal was so
fraudulent and unlawful that the su
preme court declared the acts of the
governor null and void and knocked
out the commission appointed by him.
Any one who disbelieves these charges
has only to consult the dockets of the
fusion supreme court to ascertain that
the commission waa appointed and
knocked out and there are any number
of people in Omaha who know of the
deal between Poynter and the brewers.
It Is a fact worthy of note, too, that
one of the commissioners appointed at
that time by 'Poynter was and Is a
close and confidential friend of Moise
and was and is a gambler on the beard
of trade. Another of hi appointees
on the commission was a lawyer whom
Judge C. R. Scott of the district court
disbarred for attempting to bribe hjm.
Governor Poynter appointed aa su
perintendent of the state fish hatchery
at South Bend Adam Sloup, an Omaha
aakxwkeeper. Sloup still retains his
half Interest in a saloon at Fourteenth
aad Williams streets In the city of
Omaha. Sloup knew nothing f the
ah hatchery business aad the prop
erty ia practically rained.
The official salaried attorney of the
8tate Liquor League ia Matthew Ger

Party.
One of the fusion regents of the uni
versity, elected at the last election,
waa at the time of hie nomination and

This is only part of Poyntera record
on the liquor question. There is no

about theae statements. Someafthaai
'are matters of record and all ot them
can a easily verified. -

who represents the Krug

people have confused these names and
unintentionally done the Republican
candidate for governor an Injury. But
these gentlemen are In no way related
and are separate and distinct Individ-'
uals. While some may have uninten-j
tlonally confused these names there
are fusion campaign workers who
kuow the facts and their confusion ia
not only intentional, but It la malicious.

IS POOR COLLATERAL.
Charles A. Towne has abandoned
Minnesota and
Michigan, the two
states he agreed to deliver to Bryan,
and hsa come to Nebraska to help
stem the tide.
It Is claimed for Towne that he is
a great orator and hes a happy facul
ty of making auditors believe that
black Is white whenever the occasion
requires.
Well, oratory Is all right in its place,
but it never filled an empty stomach,
bought a crust of bread, raised the
price of a bushel of grain or a pound
of meat paid off a mortgage, created
employment for labor or a market for
farm products. .
All the oratory from Demosthenes to
Towne never provided any one with a
day's labor or afforded means of pay
ing a dollar's, worth of indebtedness.
It is not bankable, you can not check
against it you can not use it is collat
eral security, it wouldn't even serve
to ignite tiie kindling in the stove to
keep yourself and little ones warm.
It never put a shingle on a roof, bought
a pair of baby shoes or protected one
man. woniau or child from the cold.
Yes, oratory is all right In its place,
but Its place is not on the bill of fare
when you want to order something for
an empty stomach. Like the plumage
of the peacock, oratory is intended for
a display, but it adds neither value nor
worth to anything. It Is simply gaudy
plumage, nothing more.
There is a wide distinction between
oratory and logic. Oratory is the
spray of logic. In politics it is often
used as a bridge to span wide gaps
and chasms in-the chain of reason. Or
atom arouse the ecstatic admiration
of their auditors and then, while they
are in this hypnotized condition, lead
them across these bridges without
their knowing it Though beset with
danger, these poor, misguided victims
of effulgent -loquacity never realise It
Mr. Towne is more of a hypnotist
than a statesman. It Is a common
thing for hypnotists to make their sub
jects believe that wrong Is right Un
der the will of the operator subjects
have gone so far as to respond to every
suggestion. They have given up val
uables because the hypnotist through
the process of telepathy, told them to.
When they recover from their spell
they realize their mistake. No doubt
Mr. Towne now and then finds one
here and there where be is speaking
who, like the hypnotized subject
swallows all he says as gospel truth.
In the face of conclusive evidence to
the contrary he permits Mr. Towne to
lead him to conclusions manifestly
absurd.
Mr. Towne's oratory did not prevent
the hard times of 1890. His oratory
did not bring the good times of today.
This Is something for the Nebraska
admirers of Towne to think about
Let the farmers of Nebraska throw
Mr. Towne's oratory and the logic of
experience into the same scale and
weigh them both. Do this before yon
vote. Remember that Townelsm Is
Bryanism and Bryanism means low
prices and hard times. You do not
have to be told by Towne or any one
else that Bryanism means hard timet.
This nation could live forever with
out oratory, but It would go to pieces
in a very short time without states
manship. One ounce of McKinley
statesmanship inthe matter of creat
ing new markets for the products of
Nebraska farms and employment for
American labor is worth a train-load
of Towne oratory.

Fake aad Fakirs.
Now that it has become the fashion
to arrest and fine fakes, such as "di
vine healers,'' dealers In charms, etc..
the wonder Is that some zealous magis
trate does not lay hands on the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency and
numerous others who follow his lead.
They posed as prophets In 1890, and
they predicted calamity and disaster if
McKinley were elected president on n
platform which promised protection to
American Industries and to all Ameri
can interests. Events have proved
them to have been false prophets, false
to the uttermost degree. Yet still they
prophesy similar things. If fakes are
to be run In, surely these gentlemen
should not escape.

Why the Feaale Healiate.
The domination of Mr. Bryan has
placed the leadership of the Democrat
ic party In the bands of the Hon. John
P. Altgcld, the Hon. George Fred Wil
liams, the Hon. William Sulzer, the
Hon. John J. Lents, the Hon. Joseph
W. Bailey and the Hon. Webster Da
vis. Is it any wonder the party Is ex
periencing a weakness In Its following
department?
Hart t Swallew.
In 1890 Colonel Watterson described
air. Bryan as "a dishonest dodger, a
daring adventurer and a political fa
kir." Furthermore, he expressed his
disgust by going to Paris and remain
big until after the election. So It will
be perceived what an unpleasant dose
the colonel Is trying to swallow this
year.
Paaalleta Deceive.
The Democratic plea that the 10 to 1
plank was inserted in the Kansas City
platform to fool the Populists Is not
calculated to Inspire confidence on the
part of the other voters. A party that
practices deception upon one class of
voters will not hesitate to enlarge its
field In that particular line.

The Seattle -Poller.
The Democratic orators are being In

10 to 1 plank of 'the Kansas City plat
form. Thus do tbey apply the scuttle

Ta Chicago aad the But.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago aa the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. All clashes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee A 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 Jr. 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
theexpresstrainsof all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,
maps, etc., please call on or address F.
