Deceiving the Voters.
The law nays Unit mixed tickets , which It

nated In the convention of the party named
ut the hcnil of the ticket , Rhnll Iw thrown out
In counting the ballots. Republicans , look
out for them. 1 inlt&l ticket ( s n l * > yni > oitc ,
nnd the liiw provides thnt they ahull not bo
counted. Omtlia llcpubllcan ,
Tlio law Bays no such thing. Mixed
tickets are justoa legal as any others pro
vided they nro printed under a distinct
heading. The plain intent of the law is
that no deception shall bo practiced on
tlio voter by inserting the name of a
candidate under the regular party head
ing who was not placed on the ticket by
the party. In other words , a ticket
headed "Republican" with the name of n
democrat inserted in place of any
regular republican candidate would be
bogus , but a mixed ticket headed
' Citizens' llopublican , " "Independ
ent Republican , " "Republican Workingman -
man 's"or any ether designation differing
from the regular heading is as legal as
any other ticket. Such tickets have
been voted in Omaha at ovcry election
for years und every name on them has
always boon counted. But the JfcjmWi-
coji purposely falsifies the law when it
says that a mixed ticket cannot bo
counted under tlio law. The law makes
no such provision. The law does not
even authorize the throwing out of a
bogus ticket , but merely provides that
tlio name of any candidate fraudulently
inserted in place of the regular candidate
on a straight party ticket shall not count.
All the other names on a bogus ticket
are counted just the sumo , as if the
ticket was straight. No ticket can bo
legally thrown out. Every other in
terpretation of the law is a bare-faced
imposture.
A Word AVIth AViiRO AVorUcrs.
Nobody is moro interested in elect
ing honest and competent county offi
cers and unpurchasablo judges than the
wngo workers. A rich man or a wealthy
corporation can always got low assess
ments on their property. And oven if
the county is managed by boodlors they
can stand the increased taxation much
bettor than the wage worker whoso little
tlo homo and scanty furniture nro as
sessed for nearly all they are worth.
The Paxtons , Kountzo's , Creightons ,
McShancs and the railroads can stand
a tax of $100 easier than a mechanic ,
laborer or clerk can fifty cents. The
same applied to the judiciary. The men
of wealth and great corporations always
exert a great influence in the courts ,
and would Imvo no trouble in getting
the ear of a judge who is in the market.
The wage worker who gels into court
has no show for justice unless the mon
on the bench are above purchase and
beyond corruption and corporate in
fluence.
The attempt to throw pnnd into the
eyes of workmgmen by appeals for sym
pathy in behalf of Estelle , Ballou anil
Hancock by pleas of poverty and sneers
at silk stockings ought not to deceive
them. It is an attempt of mcrccnarj
charlatans and legal quacks who have
proved themselves unworthy of confi
dence and without principle or integ
rity. Wakolcy.Dotinc and Groff art
above want and temptation , butthoj
nro by no means what would bo called
wealthy. They are citizens whoso in
tegrity has never been questioned , and
in whoso hands the wage workers would
bo in no danger of injustice or betrayal
Tlio fact thnt Hancock , Ballou and Es
tollo have been associating with a cer
tain class of alleged working men wlu
hang around saloons , while Groff , Donne
and Wakoly have kept out of the slums
will hardly influence intelligent and do
cent wngo workers in favor of the roust
about candidates. On the contrary il
ought to sot every thinking wage workei
against them.
The Vi'osldent's Interference.
If the intorforoncoof President Cleveland
land in the New York campaign wni
not pernicious" activity it would bo vorj
dilllcult to satisfactorily define jus
what that objectionable conduct is
The contribution of the president to tin
campaign fund may perhaps bo pardon
able. It was voluntarily made , if Ihn
action can bo considered voluntur ;
which proceeds from a knowledge thn
it is desired and expected. Very likol ;
it was not solicited , but Mr. Clovolam
know it was wanted and would bo ac
ccptablo , and therefore ho sent it. A
an example it was of questionable pro
prioly , under the existing order o
things , yet it violated no law. If tlu
president's aid to the campaign had gen <
no further than this there would hi
little or no reason for fault-finding. Bu
when ho went to the extent of expressing
pressing a hearty wish for the succcs
of the democratic ticket , ho rondorci
himself amenable to the charge of per
nicious activity , aggravated in the degree
groo that his influence is greater thai
that of any other individual olllco
holder.
, Wo are awnro that pernicious activit ;
is understood to bo working at caucuses
in conventions and at the polls , but oh
vioiibly it should have no such narrov
definition , which imposes restriction
upon the political rights and liberty o
the humbler olHccholder.s while thosi
high in power and influence are permit
ted to be active in another way au <
with vastly moro ollect. It is hold i
bo pernicious for an olllcoholdor to mi :
in politics solely on the grouni
that u servant of the pcoplo should no
engage in promoting the interests of i
parly. In this sense the intcrferonci
of Mr. Cleveland in the Now York cam
palgn was clearly pernicious , and w <
think it may fairly bo said thnt it wa
altogether the most flagrant case of per
nicious activity that has occurred undo
the present administration. The fac
that it was simply in the form of alotU.1
does not extenuate the offense. Tlu
effect could not have been greater i
Mr. Cleveland had made a speech en
dorsing the ticket at Cooper instttut
or at a democratic mass mooting ii
Madison square. The proof of this is ii
the service which the letter has beoi
made to perform in the campaign.
Congressman S. S. Cox is reported t
have said thnt if the democrats ur
hoaten in Now York to-day "then dow ;
goes Mr. Cleveland and up goes Mi
Hill. " U is not unlikely that the presi
dent had been so impressed with th
desperate character of the niUultipa thu
ho became indifferent to oven his own
injunctions. There ought to bo nothing
moro heard about pernicious activity
from administration sources.
Advancing Hotithwnrd.
The cultivation of closer trudo rela
tions between the United States and the
states of Central and South America laa
policy the wisdom of which no ono will
question. Thnt too little attention has
been given to this policy in the past is
generally admitted , niid as the result
other nations have improved the great
commercial opportunities that wore pre
sented , and have secured the possession
of a trade which they will spare no ef
forts to hold. The development of Iho
immensity rich country in the southern
half of the hemisphere , is , however ,
still in the first stage. The possibilities
of growth are almost illimitable , nnd a
vast commerce , very much greater than
that of the present , may yet bo secured
by the United States if adequate enter
prise and energy nro directed to obtain
ing it.
It is gratifying to note that some pro
gress is being miulcin extending our
commercial relations in this region.
This ia being accomplished through the
agency of postal treaties. Under exist
ing laws these treaties can bo negotiated
by the postmaster general and the presi
dent without the consent of the sonata.
The postmaster general has taken ad
vantage of this authority to open nego
tiations with ovcry government in South
and Central America and the West
Indies with a view of establishing a
general system of commercial inter
course by parcel post delivery and n
letting down of the customs barriers in
the states treated with. Although un
able to promise any reciprocal action on
the part of the United Slates in the
matter of customs restrictions , his ad
vances have been most favor
ably received , and there is
fair assurance that within a short
time satisfactory arrangements will have
been perfected between this govern
ment and a dozen or moro of the gov
ernments of South and Central America
and the Antilles , similar in character to
these recently effected with Mexico , the
good results of which are already ap
parent.
While the enlargement of trade rela
tions effected by this means could never
bo very extensive , the establishment of
these postal treaties is a valuable stop
toward other methods necessary to
bring about commercial intercourse on
the scale to bo desired. They foster and
increase communication between this
country and the States with which the
treaties uro made , and the tendency of
this is to create n demand for the re
moval of other barriers that are in the
way of n further extension of com
mercial relations. When two countries
learn that their interests are to bo
mutually advanced by cultivating inti
mate business intercourse the way is
open to mutual concessions. Tlioro is
no reason why this country should not
have its share of the trade of the coun
tries to the south of us if wo will treat
them as liberally as other countries and
put ourselves in n position to transact
our business with them as promptly as
do other countries. No country oi
South or Central America has over
shown any indisposition to trade with
the United states except on the ground
that it could secure better advantages
in doing business with other nations ,
for which our tariff system is largely
responsible. The matter is in our own
bunds , and it is ono which every depart
ment of American enterprise and indus
try is interested in.
"SHOULD the judiciary fall under the
power of machine politics there would
bo no protection for Iho liberty or prop
erty of honest citixons. " This is the
language of an eastern journal appeal
ing to the voters of its section to re
pudiate partisan judicial candidates.
It is as applicable hero as there. A
judiciary anywhere that owes its exist
ence to the party machine cannot bo
trusted to honestly and impartially ad
minister the laws. It is handicapped
by its obligations to the machine and
its debt to politicians. Men who gc
about soliciting support and send out
heelers to work for them cannot avoid
binding themselves tea _ greater or less
extent with promises of reward. This
is inconsistent with that complete inde
pendence which every judicial oflicci
should enjoy. No man is qual
ified to administer justice
who is not frco from every obligation
expressed or implied , that could in the
remotest degree affect his judgment 01
embarrass his action. Such freedom is
impossible to a judge who is the crea
ture of machine politics , owing his posi
tion to the politicians and dependent
upon their favor for his future. No cit
izen who seriously considers his owr.
and the public welfare will vote tc
place such a man on the judicial bench ,
TUB recommendation of Commis
sioner Sparks regarding reform in the
laws under which possession of the pub
lic lands may bo obtained will doubtless
receive the attention of congress. The
fact is generally recognized that the
statutes are too complex , nnd that it i ;
by reason of this that frauds have been
so numerous and so easily porpotratee
and maintained. Attempts at roforn
hitherto have not done much to mend
matttirs , and as the commissioner says
the time for tinkering hns passed. Hi :
recommendation in favor of retaining
an absolute homestead law and obsolot
ing all other forms of disposa
of agricultural lands , requit
ing actual residence , cultivutioi
und improvement for the homestead
stead period of llvo years , would cor
talnly knock out the land grabbers , am
tlioro can bo no question that the plai
has merit , particularly when it is con
fcidorcd how comparatively small is tin
remaining area of the public doinaii
available for { settlement.
Tiir. supreme court of Indiana has do
elded thut students of thut state havi
no right to vote at the place whore the ;
are receiving instruction unless the ;
intend to make it their future home
The subject of the student vote has perplexed
plexod tlio politicians a good dqal
When largo institutions aresituatef
in small cities or towns the student voti
has often decided the result of an olec
tlon in opposition to the prevailing po
litical complexion of the community.
Some states have laws forbidding stu
dents from voting whore they attend
school away from homo. This is just.
MAKi : no mistakes in voting for
county commissioners. You must vote
for candidates who are pitted ngainst
each other ; otherwise your vote is
thrown away. Remember that Walsh ,
republican , is running against Corrlgan ,
democrat ; Turner , republican , against
Timmo , democrat ; and Morrell , repub
lican , against Anderson , democrat.

whlcli It Is known nro to bo circulated by the
unseiupulous demagogues who hiivo been
socking to foist upon thu people the rotten
ticket containing the four incompetent , bush-

the district court. The supporters of these
worthless aspirants to the Judicial position
will not only seek to misrepresent the nonpartisan -
partisan candidates for the district court by
the circulation of llbolous misrepresenta
tions , but have already concocted a plot to
early this morning tuko possession of the polls
nnd allowing all their friends to vote while
opposing every obstacle to those who do not
vote at their dictation. More than this they
Imvo foully conspired to carry their point by
the assistance- the men employed by the
street car and gus companies , every ono of
whom will bo compelled to vote for the
dead-beat Estelle. Upon this man the whole
strength of Vunderbum , the thieves , thugs ,
gamblers , pimps uml' procurers ol
the Third ward has been concentrated ,
leaving the other republican candidates
to look out for themselves. This is im at
tempt on the part of the disreputable portion
of the community to override the wishes ol
the honest and industrious citizens , taxpay
ers mid mechanics of this city and county ,
and there is but ono way to circumvent'it ,
and Unit is for every honest citizen to bo on
hand early and prevent the consummation of
the damnable scheme above rufencdto. .In

vigilance bo exercised there will bo no doubt

The Figure-Head of the llepublicnn
in the llolo or a lfo .
It was the desire of the Bcis to publish
this morning u complete list of all candi
dates for election. Many of the candidates ,
especially those running for constables , as-
dcssors and justices are unknown to the pub
lic ; their names never having appeared in
print. Through the hoggishness nnd petty
meanness of Cadet Taylor this enterprise
was frustrated. A Buu representative
called nt the Republican ofllco yesterday
to obtain a list of the candidates. Mr. Need-
ham , the county clerk nnd his deputy , Mr ,
AVells , were present and the former hold in
his hand a proof sheet of the tickets for the
various wards. The foreman of the printing
establishment refused to let the Bun man
have a copy and referred him to Mr.Hounda
who was in his private oflieo at that tim
Mr. Rounds very politely granted the request
and issued a written order to the foreman to
furnish the bearer with n copy of the differ
ent tickets , but before the mandate could
be fulfilled , in comes Taylor and the result
of a whispered conversation that ho hold with
Mr. Rounds was a cancellation of the order
to furnish u copy of the proof. The BEB rep
resentative then asked to bo allowed to copy
the names of the candidates for justices ,
assessors nnd constables in the several
wards , and although Mr. Rounds was favora
bly disposed toward granting the request ,
Taylor again objected and the request was
denied. It was fully explained to Messrs.
Hounds and Taylor that it was to bo pub
lished in the interests of the republican
party by notifying voters who their candi
dates were. Notwithstanding this , Taylor's
petty spite prevailed.
Subsequently a BEE reporter called on Tay
lor nnd asked if he would honor an order from
Mr. Kelley , chairman of the printing com
mittco , for a proof of the various tickets ,
Taylor said that ho would not honor such nti
order , neither would he accept an order froir
the chairman of the county central commit
tee , und intimated that nothing would influ
ence him short of an order signed by a ma
jority of the iifty odd members of the whole
county committee.
Prior to this , another BEE representative
had seen Mr. Kelly , who stated that ho liaii
no objection to furnish a proof of the ticket

A 1 ( Otter From Mr. .Shields.
OM MIA , Nov. 7. To the Editor of the Bun
An article appeared in this morning's Rcpub
licau Intimating thut I was not a citizen ol
the United States and that I depended fui
iny citizenship upon that of my father , nni
tusking that I withdraw from the ticket. I
was also told yesterday While in Waterloo
thut this rumor was being diligently spreac
in the county precincts : und Oils 1ms gene K
far that In Elkhorn there la nrumortlmtl
had withdrawn from the ticket.
All tUeso rumors and lutlmatlons are false.
latna citizen of the United Stales ; I um
thirty-three years of ago and came to Doug
las county with my parents when nine years
Of age , and with the exception of about
four years Imvo been hero ever since. My
father was a soldier In the union army dur
ing the war , and the law says that this is
equivalent to the llrst puper * . In October ,
lbt)7 ) , he took out his second papers. At. that
tluio I was thirteen years of ago. This , as
any lawyer knows , m.ido mo a citizen.
It Is true that recently the registrars of the
Fifth ward refused to register my father's
name because ha did not Imvo his Html papers
With him ; Just as they did and intended to do
all over the city with other legal voters , some
of the oldest voters of the city were thus
rcfust-d.
If Mr. Mercer is acquainted with thn law ,
ho knows 1 urn n legal citizen of thu Unltod
States. But even if 1 was not , anil ho had
studied law Instead of i > olltlc9 , no would know
that the thing for him to do was to keep quiet
about this affair. if it was true , until nfter
the election nnd then all votes being cast for
mo being void , nnd all those cast for him
Iniiiig valid , he would bo elected even though
I had received n majority.
But ho hns examined the records , nnd sub
mitted them to a lawyer. Thut lawyer told
him ho hud no coso , so ho came to the con
clusion to make n campaign Ho out of It , nnd
is now peddling it through the county.
Respectfully , _ O. W. SHIELDS.
Mercer or Shields ?
To the Editor of the Men : The import
ance of thoofllcoof countyjudgoandthopi-lmo
necessity of filling it with one who has enjoyed
illegal training nnd had practical experience
In the conduct of litigation In our courts must
notbo lostslghtof by the voters of this county.
The county court is ono having jurisdiction
up to $1,000. , It has exclusive Jurisdiction iu
all matters pertaining to the administration
of docedants1 estates ; also in
the guardianship of all minors.
in the condemnation of nil
hinds taken for railroad purposes. This pn--
scnts the direct question , which of the two
candidates , Dave Mercer or George Shields ,
is the more worthy of support nt the pollst
1. Meiver has been in the county about ono
year ; has never had any kind of a law suit in
any court in the county ; has never practiced
before the court to the bench of which ho
aspires.
Gcorgo W. Shields has lived here from
boyhood , hns acquired an enviable reputation
as n careful , prudent , honpst nnd capable
lawyer , fully equipped to perform with honor
to himself and the community the duties of
the ofllco.
" . Mercer is a republican who emcgralcd
here from the shades of Nem.iha county for
the solo purpose of assisting Church llowo to
get into congress and too look after Howe's
political interests In the county. Mercer is a
politician who 1ms bankrupted himself by
political pledges to a number of so-called
lawyers who Imvo had no moro experience
than ho has. Thcso pledges will bo paid
oft at the expense of the
widows nnd orphans who nro compelled
to enter his court to probuto their little es
tates. The railroads are for Mercer because
as county judge ho appoints the appraisers
to condemn the lands which the rail
roads want as cheap as possible.
Shields has always been the friend of the
poor man lie knows what it is. The only
tlmoho over run for ofllco the railroads
fought him because ho would not not bo with
them in the legislature , for which ho was n
candidate. You who want the law main
tained and honestly administered will nmko
no mistake by voting for Shields , but beware
of Mercer.
