ARLINGTON , Neb. , Aug. o. To the Edl- or of The Bee : There appears In the Omaha "World-Herald nu account of the or ganizing of a Br.yan , Sewall , Watson & Co. democrat-pop tlub at this village on Saturday eveming last , in which Is stated hat tnere wore , present "former repub- Icans" and that the meeting was "enthusi astic , " and that slot a democrat lu town 'but what would support Bryan. " Allow mo 0 give you .the facts regarding the mcct- ng referred ito and also the so-called ratl- Icatlon meeting after the nomination of ) ryan , as heretofore icported In the Omaha World-Herald i At the meptlng on Saturday night there vcre but twelve persons present and not to exceed ten who signed the club roll. Only ono republican signed with the "rqpudla- tors , " nnd he , has over been a chronic ticker against anybody who dared to differ vith him OH any question. Those present at hat meeting took' it upon themselves to Ign the nances of , those whom they could call to mind as'having heretofore been dem ocrats and popdcrats , without knowing vhcthcr hcjjpartlqs ( whose 'names they so signed to , .thiitl'rbjl , would support Bryan. At' the ratification meeting heretofore re- ? or'cd there were'.not to exceed six men present at any one time , and one of them , now the "would-be leader" of demo-pop- ocrats , told mo himself that he bought ! 3 cents worth of firecrackers and burned them In making "Bryan thunder , " and that a little powder and on old anvil which they borrowed constituted the cannon and entire outfit used by that "enthusiastic crowd" of six , -and the good citizens of this place gave what was being done no more than a passing thought. Every little lioy who lias fired a "cneckcr" since the Fourth has been charged with ratifying Bryan's "nomination. " Not a mar. who has heretofore been n leader In the democratic party atteudeel cither the club meeting or the ratification meeting , If that Is what they called It , and 1 hear dally upon the streets old leaders of tbo democratic party say that they can not and will not support Bryan , and their : iame.s are not upon that roll , and I take it , as I have known many of them long and well , that ( hey will keep their word. They constitute some of our best citizens , financially nnd otherwise ; in fact , liavo al- wrys been the party lenders here. Such false and magnified accounts as have been published as to what was being done hero nnd prophesying as to what would ba done nre In keeping with those fellows who arc ahoutlng for Bryan , and If wo are per mitted to predict as well as our brothers , when the vote Is counted here , they will be like the fellow that was kicked by the mule.
