David City Press ( dem. ) : That list of democratic hybrids who are monometalllsU In fact and hermarphrodltes In profession sets a train of thought In motion and openi the flood-gates of rernlnlscense. All savi Harwood , who was a bloody-shirt shrleker all his life until six years ago , have been stage ornaments at state conventions re- epcctable owls , who sat around and looked wise , while their very respectable names were used with unctlous sweetness by the gravel train bosses to hoodoo delegates Into slick jobs , put up In the Interest of unsavory republican politicians. There Is no doubt but these men think themselves as great as The Bee pretends , but when they come Into open conflict with the party "hewers ot wood and drawers ot water" they will ba disillusioned so suddenly they will think the 4 air Is doubly charged with triple-geared lightning. There never were but two men with political brains at the head of th democratic party In this state , viz : Dr. Miller and J. Sterling Morton , and through their personal jealousies they kept the party divided Into Morton and Miller factions for fifteen years. Miller represented Union Pa cific and Morton B. & M. Their first open breach occurred In 1877 , when the Union Pacific machine wanted to return P. W. Hitchcock to the United States senate. Miller tried to turn the democrats over to Hitch * cock ; Morton opposed him , and denounced Hitchcock as a "squirt. " It was the begin ning of the anti-monopoly , antl-bosslsm spirit , which has raged so high at times. As the 11. & M. was the under dog , Morton , Its chief lieutenant , put on the mask ot "people's friend , " and under . .that flag waa the joint candidate of the democrats and anti-monopolists just ten years ago. Il wore the mask with varying success until two years ago , when ho contracted with thl republicans to beat Van Wyck. Miller waj a Itandalllte protectionist and Morton i free trader during the early discussion ot that question , which ended with the Cleve land message of 18S7. When the old Union Pacific fell by the wayside and succumbed to Us younger rival , and -was no longer prolltabli picking. Dr. Miller sold the Omaha Herald , dragged Jim Boyd , the then millionaire bog dealer , out ot obscurity , and shoved him to the front as his successor. One veto laid Boyd on the shelf , then Morton's little ular began to twinkle once more. During tha history of the state he has been four times a candidate for governor , and three times a candidate for congress. During the whole history of the Nebraska democracy It nan been the personal property ot two contending Individualities , each owned , body and soul , , by a great railroad corporation. When tui atmosphere has been too sultry they havt each pushed to the front some one of th ( automatons that The Bee now quotes at high political authority , opposed to the sil ver league. It Is , the first tlmo In Its hlstor ) that the democratic party of Nebraska glvei promise ot being a party of principle In stead of the personal property of a boss , guided solely In the Interest of some oni man's ambition and greed. All \Vcro Hplui : cil. Robert , Sarah and Amanda Phlnney , who were arrested on suspicion of knowing some thing about the holding' up of Harry Mo Creary , wore released shortly aft r their arrest , as they told a very iitralght story and ore sold to be honest , hardworking col ored people. One ot the women had a chain taken from McCreary In her possessiii | ; , but she proved that she found It , and It Is thought that the article had been thrown away by the real robber and she picked It up.
