Tat Ticket.
From top to bottom of the republican
ticket, there is not a candidate but is
worthy of your confidence and your
ballot. The head of the ticket, Presi
dent McKinley, has proved by his very
excellent management of affairs, his
capacity, his integrity and his patriot
ism, and deserves re-election.
Theodore Roosevelt, whether as civil
ian or soldier, has given evidence of re
markable insight into the motives of
men; is magnanimous, yet just; has ex
cellent executive ability, and is in every
important particular, beyond compari
son belter than his opponent, Adlai
Stevenson.
The state ticket is "business," through
and through, each man named being
strongly qualified for serving the people
of the state. In all the state offices we
need men who will not blunder; men
who know what the law is, and will not
guess at it; men who will be servants of
all the people in the general interest,
and not merely party "bosses" of dif
ferent grades, seeking mainly how they
may continue themselves in office.
John R. Hays, candidate for repre
sentative in congress, is an ardent and
thorough lover of his country, well in
formed in matters of state, conscien
tious, able and courageous.
James E. North, the candidate for
state senator, notwithstanding the fusion
odds, (which would be agaioBt him in an
ordinary campaign), is very likely of
election, as ho is well known all through
the two counties of the district and has
made a personal campaign. When you
elect Mr. North, yon have a man who
has a mind of his own, knows what he
wants, and works toward that end. A
legislator should be a man of fixed prin
ciples and having the courage of his con
victions. His principles of action must
be such as to energize his thinking every
moment of his career, because he must
bo continually on the alert to secure
what he wants in the way of legislation
or defeat what he does not want. In
other words, he must be for and work
for the public good, and can best do
that when he stands firm as a rock
against what is wrong. He has a mind
of his own, and will not bo led around
or dictated to.
Wm. Hauptmann, candidate for float
representative is a young man who is
making a splendid campaign. He de
serves to be elected, not alono for his
speaking ability, but also because his
will be another vote for two republicans
as United States senators.
Harry B. Reed, candidate for repre
sentative of Piatt county, manager of
tho Bismark creamery, is a level-headed
farmer, a representative republican of
his community, a property owner, and
one who can be trusted to help make
laws for the people of Nebraska, while
at the same time looking after the par
ticular interests of Platte county. There
are some things out of the ordinary to
be done at Lincoln during the coming
session, among the most important of j
which are the election of two men to rep
resent Nebraska in the councils of the
nation, taking the places of Senators
Allen and Thurston. Also the re-districting
of the state, and technically
known as apportionment, for which our
delegation, (having the benefit of Sen
ator North's former two terms in the
senate, and his large acquaintance with
the prominent men of the state) will be
very well equipped.
The republican candidate for county
attorney, Stephen S. McAllister, is
known as one of the best read lawyers
in the county; a man of excellent legal
ability, who would not be compelled to
call in additional counsel (at the
county's expense) to help out He fully
knows the needs of the county, and
would make an efficient legal adviser for
the county officers, and fully and cour
ageously do his duty.
John E. Hoffman is the republican
candidate for supervisor. It is a well
known fact that this office is not one of
large salary, but of tho very first impor
tance to the public in point of useful
ness. The body or supervisors are to
the county what the congress is to the
United States, and what the general
assembly is to the state. Mr. Hoffman
knows the needs of his district and the
county; is a man fitted in every way for
work with fellow-supervisors, and will
make one of the best supervisors Platte
county has ever had.
O. C Shannon, who has served as city
assessor and given good satisfaction in
the discharge of its duties, deserves re
election. A vote for him will be given
to a competent and faithful man.
This is a very fair representation of
the republican candidate for governor.
Does he look like a disreputable char
acter? There is just now, at the close of the
campaign, being made an effort to be
aaurch this man who has for years borne
a good reputation as a business man and
ritken.

Jahm 1 Hays for Cmgnm-
The political campaign is now so
nearly at an end that the general result
of the election can be pretty accurately
forecasted.
The polls of the states that have been
taken show with reasonable certainty
which way the election is going.
There is every indication of a repub
lican victory. The conditions are just
right for it and there can be no reason
able doubt that the splendid adminis
tration of President McKinley is to be
sustained.
The wagering of money is a good in
dex. Wagers are made on the best ob
tainable information, for men do not
hazard valuable things on mere bravado.
They bet on their judgment. It is sig
nificant that odds of as high as ten to
one are given in favor of McKinley on
general results. No fusionist is willing
to wager except on heavy odds.
This is preliminary to stating the se
quence of the foregoing. It being thus
assured that McKinley is to be re-elected
president it becomes a matter of busi
ness to the average voter of this district
to have in congress a member who is in
accord with the administration. In
other words, it becomes a matter of bus
iness to elect John R. Hays to represent
the Third congressional district.
It is a well-known fact that tho use
fulness of a member of congress deponds
very, much upon his being in political
harmony with the administration. He
is better received at the white houso; he
is granted more favors and requests in
the departments; in short, he will have
much greater weight and influence at
Washington.
Of Mr. Hays it may be said that he
will naturally take creditable rank
among the members of the lower bouse
of congress. He is genial and popular
among those with whom he comes in
contact. This is an element of strength
not to be ignored. In character he is
above reproach. In capabilities he will
not be found wanting. He is a good de
bater and will be competent to hold his
own in the forensic duels daily fought
in the house. Fremont Tribune.

The Mere of It the Bettor.
In Cooper Union last night Mr. Bryan
said: "Great is Tammany, and Croker
is its prophet." He meant to say some
thing nice. He did say something very
significant. Mr. Bryan was not in evi
dence at all anywhere last night, be
cause Mr. Croker was in evidence every
where last night. Tammanyism was at
its zenith. Tammanyism is Mr. Croker.
Mr. Croker could have kept Mr. Bryan
out of Manhattan occasions just as be
has kept Hill and Coler out of them.
For those who like that sort of thing
that is exactly the sort of thing they
like. The Eagle is convinced that it is
the sort of thing which a great many
will not like, but which everybody is
entitled to know is synonymous with
Bryanism, inseparable from it, master of
it, and in short, identical with it
Brooklyn Eagle.
Whatever may be the results of elec
tion in the state of Nebraska, to Hon. E.
Bosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, is
due more than passing praise as: A
member of the advisory board of the
committee in the management of the
campaign; as editor of the greatest
newspaper in the state, and as debater
advocating the principles of the repub
lican party, and combating with fact
and logic the claims of fusion for con
trol in governmental affairs. He is a
man of remarkable ability; an inces
sant worker, and if it shall happen that
he be elected to represent the state in
the United States senate, Nebraska in
terests along with those of the country
at large will be paramount with him.

BETTER QUIT TALKING.
rraa Has Deaeacratea lata a Talr
Rale Stamp Speaker.
If Bryan is not making any better
Impression In the west than his printed
speeches are In the east he bad better
quit talking. The general comment
one hears about his efforts Is that they
are worthy only of a cheap demagogue
and that Bryan has degenerated into a
third rate stump speaker. The paltry
trash that he has been turning out evi
dently shows how hard Bryan finds
the effort to talk "imperialism" when
his ideas have been trained to free
coinage of silver at 1G to 1. Speaking
of 1G to 1 calls to mind the fact that
Secretary Gage has punctured a Bryan
demagogic utterance.
Bryan says the government is coin
ing every day silver dollars at 10 to 1,
leaving his hearers under the Impres
sion that the present administration
indorses one of the things which he
(Bryan) stands for. Now, the govern
ment Is coining the surplus silver It
acquired under the silver purchase law
and coining It by direction of congress
Into dollars which the government can
float as dollars because they can be un
der the gold standard exchanged for
gold. But there Is a vast difference be
tween coining this surplus and the free
and unlimited coinage of silver which
Bryan wants so badly and which the
country won't nave.

They will. So will the rich man, and
so will all good American citizens; each

proper proportions will be the same.

The result In Maine Is satisfactory to
Republicans here for the same reason
that the result In Vermont was, only
It is more so. That Is because the
proportion of Republican apathy Is
manifestly smaller. Many Republic
ans staid nt home, however, aad for
that reason those best qualified to
Judge of the exact situation feel even
more certain than before that there Is
boc a ttepuDucan or expansionist or
sound money man or loyal supporter
of prosperity, of law and order, but
aeede to do his utmost to win over to
the aide of the right cause as many vot
ers as he can. The uncertain element Is
the really Independent vote the class
of thinking, quiet, conservative busi
ness men, who are very busy making
money now and have little time for
poUtlcs, but who usnaJlydeclde a coa-
test, la a deae state at least
This klad of thinking, quiet, con
servative business men and this class
tadodes all of the clerks, wage earn
ers, etc, who depend upon business for
thefr occapatlon would reflect that
present ceadltfans of prosperity are
good enough for them; that McKinley
Is tried and baa been found true; that
Koosevelt represents the aggressive
Aasericaa sentiment which, whatever
they may say, in exactly what they
Uke; that la state as well as national
affairs they had better place control
la the hands of those who from ex
perience and wtedom, not to say from
a saperior stock of patriotism, have
proved all right
Yet work aeede to be done among all
each voters.
It Is expected that this work will be
done. It has not been done thus far.
The Democrats are not Inactive. They
are neglecting no opportunity. It is
even more evident than before Senator
Jones came here this time that his
campaign chest is well filled, partly be
cause bin own turn for business since
becoming a millionaire within a year
has "put him on" to certain new meth
ods, partly because he is undoubtedly
gettlag.the financial support of certain
gold Democrats who want to crawl
back Into their party and who are will
ing to pay for Jt and who consider that
a business panic, which they admit to
be entirely possible. Is a "small price to
pay.-
There la another Interesting thing
that every antagonist of Bryanism
ought to know. It Is that the most so
cialistic and Incendiary utterances of
the Populists are now being repeated
la hundreds of places and are likely to
be repeated In thousands of places bet
fore this campaign Is over, not merely
la the socialist and Incendiary newspa
pers and oa the stump of the Bryan
orators la the usual way. but hi hun
dreds of unusual ways and in thou
sands of unusual places. It has been
Mr. Bryan's plan, which he Is -taking
pains himself to execute, that his wild
charge that "the laborer Is not receiv
ing hie share," and "where do you
come In, my poor workingman?" and
all that sort of thing, shall be taken
from person to person in the work
shops, mills, offices, barber shops, sa
loons. In short, everywhere that there
is a listener.
-What Is going to be done to meet
this kind of faking? Shall the Repub
licans try to send around their Insinu
ating talkers with every kind of argu
ment and right ones, so that they may
be effective? Manifestly this ought to
be done.
This new method of Bryanlte cam
paigning (for which it is known Mr.
Croker is going to furnish the money
In New York) Is of a piece with the
now admitted successful efforts of cer
tain Democratic leaders to Incite a
strike among the coal miners. No one
can tell what will come out of that sit
uation except that untold misery will
come out of it with a chance against
the success of the strike. Why not?
Parenthetically what shall be said of
those strike leaders who have led tens
of thousands of their deluded followers
Into this thing, when according to the
figures not 15 per cent of the coal min
ers of the country belong to the union?
It would seem unless our whole theory
of government Is wrong, unless the
whole sentiment of our people Is so
cialistic and incendiary, that such reck
less and desperate efforts to Incite
class prejudice ought to fail not merely
among those who do not sympathize
with such procedures, but among the
very ones who have been led by false
prophets Into the general misery.

Special Washington Letter.
The treasury was never In a stronger
position than at the present time both
In Its relations' to the money market
and In Its resources for meeting ex
penses. The wise and farslghted meas
ures of Secretary Gage have put back
Into the market much money which
would otherwise be locked up In the
treasury surplus. This will give great
er facilities for obtaining funds for
moving the crops than have been wit
nessed for many years.
The gold In the treasury Is near the
highest point ever attained In the his
tory of the country. This point was
touched In August, when the combined
gold held by the treasury on govern
ment account and that held against
gold certificates was $435,000,000. The
amount held on government account
on Monday, Sept 10. was $210,381,027,
and the amount held against gold cer
tificates In circulation was $213,293,
659, making a total gold fund in the
treasury of about $432,000,000.
When to this amount is added the
$179,291,000 In specie In the New York
clearing house banks on Sept 8, there
Is a visible gold fund In these two cen
ters alone of nearly SGOO.OOO.OOO. A
part of the gold held by the New York
banks Is In treasury gold certificates,
but the allowance for them would Im
pair only slightly the total gold hold
ings In Washington and New York
and would be offset many times by the
fund of gold In the banks, In circula
tion and In private hands outside of
these centers.
Secretary Gage soon perfected a se
ries of Important measures by which
the surplus was kept under control and
money released for the use of the peo
ple In moving the crops and carrying on
production Instead of permitting its
congestion In the treasury. One of his
first steps was to resume the Issue of
gold certificates, which was suspended
by Secretary Carlisle in 1893 when the
gold reserve dropped below $100,000,
000. The Issue of certificates did not
affect directly the volume of money,
but afforded great relief to the market
because It enabled the public to get the
use of convenient naoer currency In
place of gold coin.
The bank note circulation stood on
Jan. 1, 1900, at $246,19523. The In
crease begaa while the refunding law
was pending in congress in anticipation
of the benefits of the new law, but be
came marked during the spring and
summer after the law waa enacted.
The circulation rose on April 1 to $270,
958,080; on June 1 to $300.48889 and
on Aug. 1 to $330,01550. The amount
on Saturday, Sept 8. was $32539,765,
showing an Increase of almost $80,000,
000 since the beginning of the year.
The banks are still entitled to about
$4,000,000 of additional notes upon
bonds recently deposited, which they
will receive within a few weeks.
The combined efforts of the opera
tions already described, Including the
disoatsements for bonds amounting to
$72,000,000 and aa increase In the bank
aoto drcalatioa assouatlag to $80,000,
009, have Increased the money at the
nrniwrt of the people for moving the
crepe aad keeping la aaetloa the wheals
oflahsetrybyaaaaeoaat of store tali
$150,000,000.
This policy has not prevented the
maintenance of a large surplus In the
treasury, more than sufficient to Insure
confidence In the maintenance of the
gold standard and In the ability of the
government to meet all legitimate de
mands. The surplus of receipts over
ordinary expenditures during the fiscal
year which ended on June 30 last was
$81,229,770. Most of this amount was
paid out In reducing the debt In the
manner already set forth. The result
was to keep the balance of cash left on
; hand from becoming unwieldy without
reducing It below the pout which
. would afford ample funds for all de-
j niands.
! The cash balance stood on Monday,
! Sept 10, at $130,28897. This is exclu
sive of the big gold reserve of $150.
000,000 provided by the gold standard
law as a guarantee of the sincerity and
ability of the United States in main
taining gold payments. It is this re
serve which would suffer first and
most' heavily In case confidence was
disturbed by the election of a president
pledged to destroy the gold standard.
The general balance of $130,28897 Is
not all lying Idle In the treasury vaults.
The necessity of preventing stringency
In the money market led Secretary
Gage in the autumn of 1890 to Increase
the sums intrusted to national banks,
but absolutely secured to the govern
ment by the pledge of United States
bonds.
The policy of Secretary Gage has
been steadily directed to keeping the
treasury in the Impregnable position
which will Insure public confidence,
employing the surplus as far as good
judgment permits In the reduction of
the public debt and putting the remain
der at the disposal of the money mar
ket for the encouragement of ample
funds and low Interest rates in the
conduct of the present great volume of
business In the United States.

REPUBLICAN FIGURES.
They Are the Oflelal Ftaarea aff
Trade aad Prosperity.
Two drummers were discussing the
testes of the campaign In the corridors
of a hotel. We will call them Smith
and Jones. A group of interested lis
teners gathered around, and the conver
sation became more and more Animat
ed. Every little while Jones would
ask, "Can yon prove that?" and Smith
would pull out from his pocket the Re
publican campaign- textbook or the
"Tariff Facts" of the American Pro
tective Tariff league, and every time
he did so Jones would take a tack.
Finally, after Smith bad proved all
his assertions and Jones was left high
and dry without an argument a by
stander said:
"Jones, where Is your textbook?
Where are your figures? Why don't
the Democratic national committee
furnish you with ammunition? You
are handicapped in an argument with
Smith and all his figures."
Jones said he had sent for some,
while Smith said:
"Gentlemen, these figures I have
here belong to Jones as much as they
do to me. If the Democratic commit
tee had a textbook, it would contain
the same figures that my textbook con
tains. These are the official figures of
the government, of the commercial
agencies, of different authorities on
the subjects named. There Is only one
set of such figures. The Republican
textbook contains the platforms of all
parties. It contains Mr. Bryan's
speech of acceptance as well as Mr.
McKlnley's. The simple fact of the
matter is that the Republican strength
lies In publicity of the aceoniDlish-
ments of the past. The Democratic
strength lies in promises for the fu
ture. If my friend Jones had a book
of figures and tables, they would be
Identical with my own If they were
honest official, authoritative figures.
The figures of the government, of
trade and Industry for the past ten
years are and can be nothing but a Re
publican argument They are Repub
lican figures simply because they are
favorable figures. Had the Demo
crats been In power In 1890-2. the
Republicans from 1893-7, and the
Democrats since then, and the same
figures prevailed, then Jones would
have a textbook In every pocket, and
the Republican party would expect to
be defeated In this campaign.'
The argument was complete, and
Jones had to retire to be ready for an
early train.

There are approximately 1,000 voters
In the department The paper was
passed around with the consent of the
management of the house, but with no
coercion whatever to sign or not to
