Today Is the last tiny of registration.
There Is one tattooed ninn on tlio rc-
'publican legislative ticket. Ills name Is
Ilciuinnn Tlniice.
Hopubllcans of Douglas county can
support the legislative tlckot with one
exception without dissent.
Euclid Martin may perhaps change
his mind about voting the democratic
rump ticket by the time ho enters the
polling booth.
Every voter must be registered by
0 o'clock tills evening or he will find
himself practically disfranchised. Don't
disfranchise yourt > clf by neglecting to
register.
President Cleveland has ample time
to go squirrel hunting , but pressing
public business prevents him from par
ticipating in any way in the pending
campaign.
Mr. S. T. Gordon , candidate for the
council In the First ward , Is a poor man ,
but lie Is reported to bo an honest man
and a clean man , worthy of confidence
and support.
Mr. A.V. . Johnson is the favored can
didate of the Swedish-Americans for the
school boaid. He holds a llrst class cer
tificate as a teacher , and Is , therefore ,
well qualified.
Anton Kinent , the republican candidate
for councilman In the Second- ward , is
an Intelligent worklngman and reputa
ble citizen. If elected he will make a
valued member of the council.
When registering , examine the names
of those who claim n lesldunce on your
street and make sure that there arc
no pretended neighbors on the list. T..Is
Is a simple and at unco effective way
of preventing fraudulent practises.
There Is no question as to the inten
tion of the so-called straight democrats
to catch votes by stealth and deception.
They constitute a mere annex to the
Majors howlers. It is only the ignorant - -
rant and uninformed that they hope to
rope In. .
The nomination of Hermann Tlmino
on the republican legislative ticket was
an unfortunate blunder. Tlmme belongs
to tlio oil-room gang. He Is not n safe
man to trust with legislation In the In
terest of the people , and should be
elected to stay at home.
The best citizens of the First ward ,
regardless of party , will support Mr. S.
I. Gordon fur their ward councilman.
Tom Lowry has been tried and found
"
wanting. Ills campaign methods aru
decidedly unfair , and will not be en
dorsed by the voters of the ward ,
Now that he Is really out of the sena
torial contest for the succession to the

Crisp may as well begin to prepare

to the rulings of n republican speaker.
Election olllclals who abuse In any

Six years ago the republican party
f Nebraska cave Benjamin Harrison
3,000 majority. Under Iho pernicious
nd demoralizing leadership of corpor-
te tlmc-Eorvcra who look to railroad
icadquartcrs for direction and support
ho party lias been decimated and
housands of stanncli republicans have
been drlrcn out of the party ,
The scandals brought to light during
ho last legislative session and the
rials of Indicted state Institution bood-
era and Impeached state officials have
destroyed the confidence of tha rank
nd flic In the Integrity of icon ivlio
nice been elevated to positions of
onor and trust
Unless tlio party purges Itself of cor-
uptlon and repudiates railway dotnlna-
Ion Its ranks arc sure to bo depleted
iy desertion and defection and Its ro-
ovcry of supremacy made hopeless.
The great mass of republicans arc
oncst , conscientious and patriotic.
They revere the traditions of the tfarty
nd believe In Its principles. Dut when
cpubllcantsin becomes the synonym
or railroadlsm and boodlerlsin they
vlll cast their lot In fuvor of honest
: overnment and against corporate inls-
ule.
Thousands of republicans who Ond
hemsclves at the cross roads will ask
hemselvcs between now and next
Tuesday .what will be most beneflclal
o cure the republican party of the
nnlurla with which it is now alllictcd.
The election of Majors this year will
> o an open confession that the disease
s too far gone for the party to purge
tseif. It means in our judgment the
) ormanent loss to tha party of them-
amis who have up to tills tlmo pro-
essed Its creed and voted its ticket
e parly's salvation must be sought
n retracing its stops and placing Itself
; qtmrcly upon the platform on which
ibralmm Lincoln was elected a govern-
iient by the people , for the people. It
mist turn its face against the prostltu-
lon of its machinery and Its candidates

ipon Us banners "Integrity in Every
Oflice , " and It must give tangible evl-
Icnce this year of Its moral worth by
urnlng down the tattooed candidate for
governor , whoso nomination was pro-
ured In the interest of corporations
mil state house boodlers.
It has boon assorted tlmo and again

JfEIlRASKA'S LORD PltOTKCTOR.
From Yesterday's Issue.
Victor Hugo tolls us in his famous
olume , "The History of a Crime , " that
he election of Louis Napoleon to the
iresldoncy of the French republic was
he llrst step toward the erection of 1m-
> crlallsin upon , its ruins. What was
rue relating to the destruction of popu-
ar self-govern men t In France applies
with equal force to all countries that
lermlt despotism In any form under
whatever pretext to usurp the right of
ho people to govern themselves.
In the struggle between tlio people of
Nebraska and the confederated corpora-
ions history only repeats Itself. Up to
this time our reference to the Nebraska
; nraiid the rallioad despotism has been
regarded by many well-meaning people
l many patriotic citizens as an over-
Inuvn assumption of a state of affairs
that does not really exist This class of
) coplo will doubtless be surprised if not
startled by the open admission on the
. rt of the Majors campaign managers
: lmt railroad domination is not only
legitimate , but essential to the well-be
Ing of the state ami Its people.
The mouthpiece of Mr. Majors makes
bold to assert In a paid editorial that
ippcars In Thursday's World-Herald
that Mr. Iloldregu Is fully Justified In
exercising dictatorial powers over the
people of Nebraska. The exact Ian-
iuato used Is that every honest man In
Nebraska recognizes the right of Mr.
Iloldrege to defend the property which
is put in ills charge against whatever
evil forces would destroy Its value. We
are further told that 30,000 people of
moderate moans In New Kngland own
the Burlington railroad in this state. If
Mr. Holdrego would stand Idly by anil
see these 30,000 eastern stockholders
Injured In the valuu of their property
without any good to Nebraska every
manly man In the state would despite
him for such a course.
So Nebraska must have a lord pro
tcctor to keep her from exercising hei
sovereign light to self-governmentl The
people must abdicate their right to
choose their own rulers and representa
tives to Mr. lloldrogo in the Interest of
the 30,000 stockholders of moderate
means In New England and the half a
dozen multi-millionaires who have
amassed colossal wealth from the tribute
they have levied upon the people of this
state. No reasonable man will deny tha
Mr. Holdrego has n right to protect the
Interests of the Burlington railroad am
Its stockholders by all legitimate
means at his command. But what rlgh
has ho to constitute himself lord pro
tuctor and despot of Nebraska ? Wlm
right has hu to debauch our voters by the
corrupting Influence of ( J.OOO annual rail
road passes ; by the use of lawless re
bates ; by the lawless combinations wltl
other corporations that seek to terrorIze
Izo the people by throats of a with
drawn I of credits ? What right baa he
to hold the club of discharge ever the
heads of wage workers who have a
much right to east a five and uiitrum
nu > loil ballot as h has himself ?
Could any monarch In Europe go mud
further In suppressing Individual free
doiu and dominating by main force
Why Qoes not the lord protector ot tlio
rUnfiton proclaim himself cr.hr of No-
sKa , Wyoming and Moptnna , Just a ?
'rand ? Joseph of Austria Is. klbff of
lungary and Uolictnla and duke of
Dalrualln ? why not convert Nctjrasjfa
nto an absolute monarchy Instead of a
rQo stat $ In an elective- republic ?
Vhat is the ugo of going through the
area of ratifying the cholco of candl-
I a tea named by the lord protector nt
Burlington headquarters ? 1C tlio pro-
cctoratc is to be permanent would It
not bo well for the lord protector to per-
tnjt us to choose a governor who is not
attoocd from head to solo and can at
east enjoy the respect of the lord pro-
cctor's subjects ?
TUB DISFRANCHISED TlItHTY THOUSAND
The eulogy of Mr. Iloldrcgc which
he republican state committee au
daciously printed the other day In the
oluimiB engaged for its paid editorial
idvertlsetncnts holds the Uurltngton
zar up as the representative of 30,000 ,
non-resident stockholders , whoso prop-
rty ho Is trying to protect from threat-
nod depreciation by forcing upon the
looplo of Nebraska a candidate for
governor who stands for dishonesty and
orruptlon. The eulogist seeks to ia-
phosizo the fact that those 30,000 for
eign stockholders can participate In
bo government of Nebraska only
lirough the men whom they have cm-
doyed to manage their railroad for
hem , and asks with feigned sincerity
vhcthcr the voters of tills state uro so
est to honor that they will nso the
, acrcd right of franchise which the
constitution has given them to strike
heso eastern stockholders who have no
otcs here.
Does the Burlington czar mean to In-
Inuato that he has a right , legal or
moral , to cast 30,000 votes for the rail
road which he represents ? Does ho
ncnsurc his Importance by the num-
> er of stockholders who happen to have
money invested in the corporation of
vhlch ho Is nn officer ? Does he want
its voice in the selection of state jand
ocal officers to counterbalance those
f 30,000 resident Nebrasknus ? If the
Burlington czar is entitled to wield the
power of 30,000 votes because the 30,000
> eople who own the railroad property
tavo no votes In Nebraska , every other
corporation that embodies outside cap-
tal Is entitled to a proportionate power.
Should not the Union Pacific cast 30,000
otcs also ? And what about the North-
vcstern and the Missouri Pacific and
ho Itoclc Island and the other rall-
oads that operate In this state , but
vhoso stockholders live elsewhere ?
Vhat about the street railway com
pany and the stock yards company and
he gas company and the Standard Oil
company and the banks and the lesser
corporations without number ? And
vhon we find all these corporations con-
'ederatcd together , ns they arc today ,
'or ' the purpose of manning the state
government with ofllclals who will bo
ubscrvlent to their beck and call , why
hould not tlio people of Nebraska turn
liemsclves , their property and the
vhoio state over to the rule of the for
eign stockholders through their auto
cratic representatives In the railroad
leadquarters ?
The 30,000 foreign stockholders whose
otcs tlio llurllngtou czar wants to cast
u Nebraska Include men , women and
children. Do they acquire lights of
franchise by Investing their money In
ailroad stocks which the pioneer who
ias broken the prairie and built for
ilmsclf a home within the boundaries
of the state does not have ? Are the
ncn to vote In New England and again
u Nebraska ? Are the widows and or-
( bans , of whom wo hear so much
whenever railway legislation Is
( reached , to vote in Nebraska by
proxy when they would not be abio to
vote If they were living here them
selves ? This brings us right to the
oot of the question. The Issue Is ,
Shall the people of Nebraska govern
Nebraska ? The confederated corpora
tions , marshaled by the Burlington
czar , are exerting every force at their
command to fasten forever upon Ne-
jraska the heavy hand of railroad
iominatlou. They wish to have the
powers of government exorcised , not
In the interest of the people who have
made the state what It is , hut In the
nterests of the foreign capitalists and
their watered stocks. If the disfran
chised 30,000 stockholders are to govern
S't-braska the two or three who own the
majority of the stock will govern the
30,000 , and Mr. Iloldroge. as their gen
eral manager , will rule supreme as czar.
Are the people of Nebraska ready to
exchange self-government for this form
of absolute monarchy ? The elect Ion of
Silas A. Holcomb as governor will
show that they still prefer to govern
themselves.
rm :
The October treasury statement shows
somu things that It would be well for
the people at this time to ponder on.
One of these Is that the government
is getting steadily deeper into debt.
For the last month there was nn In
crease in tlio public debt nf over
$1..000,000 , and as the Interest-bearing
debt remained about stationary this In
crease means an excess of expendl
tiires over receipts to that amount. In
other words , It signifies a deficit. Maul
fostly the now tariff for revenue * is not
doing what was expected of it In the
matter of providing the treasury with
moans to meet the obligations of the
government , and therefore the esti
mates of the supporters of that meas
ure are demonstrated to have Ueeii
worthless. The democratic leadort ? assured
surod the country that when the pros
vut tariff law went Iu1o effect there
would be no further trouble or anxlctj
regarding revenue ; that money would
freely flow Into the treasury , the gold
reserve would speedily bo restored , anil
that the government would be enabled
to promptly moot every obligation
That law has been In i-ffont two months
and still tlu receipts of the treasury
fall below the expenditures , " with the
probability that they will continue to
do so for some months to come. As
a revenue measure , therefore , the uevt
tariff law must bo admitted to Lie-an
utter failure up to this time. Possibly
when revenue begins to come In from
sugar duties and from the Income tax
the receipts will balance expenditures
but that will not bo for a number o ;
months , and It Is doubtful whether the
treasury can wait for It. A. uiouthlj
deficit such as luo.t of D6tobc.r for the
next four oriflvo months 'would ' compel
the ucgotlntjoft of an6thc.r loan.
Jold roscrvo Situation was some-
vuat Impro qd jlurlps October , tuo r -
servo at the /duso / of that mouth being
fraction over $01,000,000 , The In-
crcaso was not" wholly from customs.
About half Illtd gold received at the
treasury during tbo mouth was for
part was American
d at assay oUlces. It
. , - qullp nu Item la the
receipts froi $ Columbian half dollars ,
which are exchanged for gold at their
'ace. The Interest-bearing debt on Oc-
ober 31 was1 $035,012,800 , which Is
about $50,000000 , ; greater than the pub
ic debt whch the present administration
came Into power. This does not show ,
lowovor , the full extent of the change
n the financial condition of the govern-
neut under this administration. There
uust bo added to the Increase In the
debt the loss of the gold reserve , now
amounting to $39,000,000. Democratic
oadors and stump speakers are very
'and of denouncing the last ropub-
lean administration for having dis
posed of the surplus , but there was no
ncroaso of the public debt under that
administration , nor was the gold re
serve ever impaired to the extent of
dollar. On the contrary , the public
debt was reduced during the Harrison
administration to tlio extent of over
" .OOO.OOO , and when the Cleveland
idininlstratlon took hold of the national
reasury there was a balnnco of $121-
000,000 , more than $100,000,000 of which
was gold. The llrst Cleveland ndmln-
strallon paid off no more of the public
lobt than It was forced to pay , because
t wanted to maintain n surplus for po-
ittcal effect Tlio second Cleveland ad-
ninlslration lias Increased the public
Icbt , and from all present indications , in
consequence of the tariff legislation of
ta party , will bo compelled to make
mother addition to It in order to preserve -
serve the credit of the government
KEEP IT11EFOHR TUN I'KOl'l.E ,
Everybody that attended the republi
can state convention held In this city on
ho 22d day of August will remember
he dramatic disclaimer of Thomas J.
Majors of the charge that connects him
with the Taylor Incident and the Issue
of a fraudulent certificate vouching for
Taylor's -services to the end of the ses-
slou of the legislature of 1S91. In the
> resonco of 1,000 delegates and more
than 2,000 spectators Majors raised ills
land to heaven and called God to wit-
; iess that bo knew nothing about the
) lot to abduct Taylor , and boldly as
serted that Taylor was entitled to full
iay to the erid'ofthe session , as he had
served slxty-thrpe days exclusive of Sun
days and recesses. These brazen false-
leeds have jbeen reiterated from the
stump in almost every town and village
of the state. " "A more Impudent piece of
mposturo neVer had boon attempted by
any man seeking the suffrages of an in-
elligoiit peop/c. / 'Majors' assertions re
garding tlio a'T ay lor voucher are dls-
iroved by teqflipqny that cannot be con
troverted , namel- the journal of the
state senate pf ,1691which shows that
Taylor disappeared on the morning of
the flfty-thlrti/d.'Jy of the session , and
after that day'hjs name does not appear
n the Journal cither on the roll call or on
any recorded 'yote.
And now at this late dayf after per
sistently denying that Majors had certi
fied to the fraudulent voucher , of which
a fac simile appears In this Issue , the
B. & M. Journal attempts to paillate
this Impeachable offense by pointing to
the fact that the fraudulent Taylor
voucher was only a few dollars over and
above the amount actually due to Tay
lor. Only a few dollars , to be sure !
Only $75 , but every dollar of that sum
was fraudulently taken out of the state
treasury by reason of the certificate
signed by Majois representing that Tay
lor had served to the end of the ses
sion.
sion.Only
Only a few dollars , to be sure. But it
Is an open confession that the charge Is
true in substance and an admission that
Majors deliberately deceived the repub
lican state convention and used tlio
name of the Almighty to alllrm testi
mony ho know to bo false.
Only a few dollars , Indeed , but the
man who would filch a few dollars
from tlio state treasury and put It Into
the pocket of an all room boodlcr Is not
the man the people of Nebraska can
trust with the position of chief execu
tive.
It was only a few dollars that Majors
overcharged In collecting mileage as
lieutenant governor for 1SDL and 180k :
but the act was so much more repre
hensible because it was only a few del
lars. A man who would run up 288
miles at 10 cents a mile for a distance
of 1-Co miles actually traveled on nn
annual pass Is not the kind of a man
Nebraska or any other state should ele
vate to the highest position within the
gift of her people.
Tno county commissioners and the
executive committee of the Associated
Charities pioposo to co-operate In de
vising n plan for tlio systematic dis
tribution of tlio county's poor relief.
They wl 1 certainly be supported by the
taxpayers In their attempt to make the
funds at the disposal of the commis
blotters for this'purpose go ns far UK
possible. It Is mijijt desirable that every
precaution bo taken to exclude worthless -
loss impostors and at tlio same time to
Insure worthy applicants the assistance
which they doheYvp. The authorities
display a commendable disposition to
arrive at the best method of accom
pllshlng this object.
Remember that the railroads anil
their confederated corporations are cen-
toilng their cltqrls upon the slate senate.
If they can control n mere majority of
the senate they'will ' be able to block
all legislation tiiat appears obnoxious
to them. The hope of reform leglsla
lion of all kinds depends upon the elec
tion of men to the .senate who will rep
resent tlio Interests of the people , not
withstanding all Iho railroad pressure
that may be brought to bear on them.
The selection of Mr. A. O. Bacon by
the caucus of democratic members of
the Georgia legislature to be the party
candidate for United Btntt-s senator , a
selection which Is equivalent lo an elcc
tlon , Is In reality a defeat for the Cleve
land administration. It was well
known that the administration looked
with favor upon a aiQcront < nndjil&Uy
> oiigrossinan Turner , Ana tijftt \ \ uaa
done nil in Its power to assist him to
ils canvass. Yet , nolTCltlistnndlug this
assistance , Mr. Turner was unable to
secure oven n fair ehnro of the logls-
atlve ro oa ana was practically out of
the race from the moment that the com
position oC the legislature was made
public. Mr. Bacon la by no means an
outspoken nutl-admhiistralton man and
may bo led to act with the ndmlnlstra-
tlon when lid la admitted Into tbo
senate , but ho will not owe his election
to administration Iniltieiico and will
therefore bo under no obligation to do
so.
Majors' personal organ Is finally coin-
tolled to ndinlt that the fraudulent
Taylor voucher called for moro money
: lmn the abducted wonator was entitled
to claim. What becomes of Majors'
repeated oaths that every dollar drawn
on the Taylor voucher was legally pny-
nblo for services rendered ? This con
fession holds Majors up ns a Rolf-con-
vtctod llur. Is tills the kind of a mane
: o net ns governor of a great state like
Nebraska ?
If money were the only requirement
for success Iho tattooed candidate would
be able to already point to his election.
Any political support that Is purchas
able is finding n ready market with the
republican state committee. It Is for
the vast army of citizens who vote their
convictions and who stand first and al
ways for honest government , to ovcr-
v hoi m the en ud da to who counts on buy-
ng his way Into olllco.
The charge Industriously circulated

Warrant
Rverr candidate and every patty leader on
the stump must champion tha candidacy- > (
a man who la tattooed with a record ot In-
dcllblo Infamy. They arc confronted at
every crossroad with the story of tli forged
census re-turns that scandalized the- state at
the national capital and placed a stigma upon
the man whom the people of tills common
wealth hail honored with a placeIn the halls
of congress as their representative.
During two sessions of the legislature
In which he occupied tha responsible and hon
orable position of presiding ofllcer of the
upper house by virtue of bis election as lieu
tenant governor , Mr. Majors was notoriously
a tool and capper for the corporation lobby ,
and oxcrlcd all his power and Influence dur
ing each session of the legislature to promote -
mete jobbery and assist boodle schemes and
obstruct , sidetrack nnd defeat nil railway
regulation bills and measures to curb the
rapacity of corporate monopoly.
SCANDALIZED THU STATE.
During the session ot 1801 the state was
scandalized by tlio abduction ot Senator
Taylor , a populist , who had been elected on
the anti-monopoly platform , which pledccd
him to support a maximum rate law. It
U notorious that Taylor was on confidential
terms with Lieutenant Governor Majors , and
especially with his private secretary , Walt
M. Secly. There Is no doubt whatever that
Majors and Seely must have known of the
plot to abduct Taylor In order to keep him
from casting Ills vote for the Newberry
maximum rate bill.
Taylor's abduction created such a sensation
that oven If Majors had not boon advised
about tha plot ho could not aava been
Ignorant of the fact that Tuylor had disap
peared. The fact that Majors directed the
sorgeant-at-arms to have Taylor arrested
shows absolute knowledge on the part of
Majors of Iho disappearance ot Taylor.
Tlio records of the auditor's office show
that Taylor had drawn $262.40 as Ills pay
and mileage for the session up to the tlmo
of his abrupt departure In the mlddlo of
March ,
On March 31. when tlio session clo&od ,
the following bill , certified to by T. J.
Majors as president of the senate , was placed
In the hnnds of ta& auditor and a warrant
The above Is a fac stmllo ot the certlflcatj
signed by Lieutenant Governor Majors nnd
approved by the auditor , ns now on Qls In
the office of tha auditor of state.
Tlio warrant for $7G was cashed by Walt
St. Sccly , private secretary of the lieutenant
governor , and pocketed by him. Taylor
never received a penny ot this money fraudu
lently procured by the connivance of tha
lieutenant governor.
This act alone stamps Thomas J. Majors as
a dangerous man In any public ofllcc. When
he certified that Taylor had served througl >
the entire terra he knowingly nnd wittingly
committed n. grnvo crlmo that laid him liable
not only to Impeachment , but to prosecution
In the criminal courts ,
Had Majors certlflcd to ( t fraudulent
voucher In the army , or duplicated his own
pay In the army pay roll , he would have
been court niartlalcd and caiihlered In dis
grace. Where the oltenso was as flagrant
as the Taylor voucher fraud ho would hav
been made , to- serve a sentence In a mllltarr
prison. Is'this the kind ot a man. the re
publicans at Nebraika are nskod to mak
chlof executive of state and comnmndcr-ln-
chlef of the military forces of the common
wealth ?
THE SENATE OIL IIOOM.
The ell inn r of infamy on the part ot the
lieutenant governor was the conversion ot
his private office adjoining the- senate cham
ber Into a legislative oil room. In which
liquor was dUpcnccd freely to mombera ot tha
senate who wore addicted to drink , and to
lobbyists , mtilo and female , who resorted to
the room for debauching the law nukorn.
Every fellow who belonged to the gang
carried a Yale lock key In his pocket so as
to have access nt nil tlmotf , night or day ,
when the senate was In session , or nt recess ,
to the demijohns and decanters flllr-d with
choice brands ot liquor , with which the lieu
tenant governor's room was generously sup
plied regardless of expense by the corporate
concerns whoso bills were to bo logrolled
through anil whose Interests wore to be pro
tected by the bland , affable and accommodat
ing lieutenant governor.
Can republicans stultify themselves and
Jeopardize their cause by placing a man with
such a record at the head of the state gov
ernment ?
The above Is a fac slmllft ot the order of
the abducted ex-senator authorizing Walt
Secly to receipt the vouchers and warrants
for his unearned salary. It will bo noted
that the order Is in the handwriting of Walt
M. Seely , private secretary of Lieutenant
Governor Majors. It purports to bo daU3
at Portland , Ore. , but Is written on an offif
clal blank , hearted with the name of th4
lieutenant governor , at the senate chamber.
