Twenty-four years ago
n candidate for the presidency of the
United Sliites. He win a man of far
greater brain power and elo'iurnce than
the boy omtor of the Pintle. Ills name
wan Gftirge Kraiiels Train. The candi
date of 1S7U wns a limn of world iv-
imwn. besides bflng a geiiliH. He had
wen-hunt In Aus-
made a fortune as a

orator was born. He had done much
toward lln building of the Union Pacific
I railroad and had done for Onmlm what
i no other man at th.it lime wan capable

j the score for worklngmeii and a llrst-
class hotel for traveling-men. He had
advertised Nebraska In a tour around
the world nnd made the name of Omaha
known where It had never been heard
of In-fore. That ceitainly Is a great
deal more than the boy orator can
boast , who has never done anything
for Omaha , Nebraska or any other sec
tion % community.
In 1S7l , as In IS ! i. the Nebraska can
didate carried a rabbit foot In his right
i ve-it pocket. Like William Jennings
I Uryan , George Kranels Train believed
i himself to be a man of destiny. He was

Itryan's mission , according to his last
speech , which clearly foreshadows the
same fate that overtook the llrst No-
mtska presidential candidate , Is eternal
war upon the Ilrillsli gold standard
until It Is driven from the United States.
That Is to be llryan's life work.
Whether the present Nebraska candi
date will join the first Nebraska candi
date In Madison Square garden * after
November : > has not yet been announeoil.
The two candidates have one thing in
common. They want to twist the Hrit-

The Omaha Itryan organ has again
conjured up in Its Imagination a terrible
republican plot , this time to Inundate
Nebraska with Imported illegal voters
In order to carry the election by fair or
foul means. "In every precinct in every
county in the state , " It cries , "reljable
wen should be placed on guard to see
that men who are not entitled to vote
do not vote and to see thai the votes are
fairly counted. " Of course there Is no
foundation to the lllmsy yarn about re
publican conspiracies any more than
there Is to the terrible tales of repub
lican coercion.
The efforts of the republican campaign
managers have all been directed to the
accomplishment of the one rt # ult to
have every voter fully Informed of the
Issues at stake and the merits of the
respective candidates and to get every
voter to the polls on election day , there
to express his honest convictions
through an untrammeled secret ballot.
As soon as those ballots shall have been
cast the one aim of the republican party
as an organization will be to have each
ballot promptly and accurately counted
and canvassed and there need not be
the slightest fear that the- electoral vote
of Nebraska will bo recorded for any
one except the candidate who polls the
largest number of votes.
The republican party has always been
tlio champion of a free ballot and an
honest count. It has been the champion
of a free ballot and an honest count
not only In the northern states , but
also In the southern stales. U has beim
the champion of a free ballot and an
honrst count not alone for the white
voter , but for the black voter , not alone
for republicans , but for democrats and
populists and cltl/.ens of every political
faitii. The democratic parly , on th"
contrary the part of the democratic I
party which Itryan claims as
his own lias for years been
identltled with and the bene-
llciary of coercion , colonization , bal
lot-box stutling and fraudulent count
ing. It' there Is the slightest danger
anywhere of a resort to fraud at the
coming election , It Is not from any "re
publican conspirators , " but from the
desperate gang that Is running the cam
paign for Mr , Ilryan and who will bear
watching until the last returns are. In.

There are some very Interesting facts
In the annual report of the secretary of
war. One of these relates to the prog
ress that has been wade In the very Im
portant matter of coast defenses. Three
years ago , on Jtily 1 , but one modern
gun had b > . > en placed In position on coast
formications , on .Inly 1 of next year
there will be seventy modern guns of
various calibre In position for the de
fense of the coasts' This Is a very grat
ifying showing andgives promise that
within a few years , If Micro shall bu a
return of prosperity that will warrant
the expenditure , the defenses on our ex
tended seacoast will have been HO
strengthened that the country can feel
secure against any possible foreign foe.
The secretary says that with sullldont
money the limit to future rapidity of
progress In coast defense is the com
bined annual capacity of public and
private plants to supply material. We
are making our own guns and all the
money that Is being expended In this Im
portant work Is distributed among our
own people. It need hardly bu said that
the material supplied Is equal to the
best In the world and that when our
seacoast defenses are complete they will
lid among the most formidable of thulr
kind.
Tliu American people.undoubtedly de
sire that this work shall be continued
until wry oxpoxp ; ! and vulnerable point' '
on our coasts shall be adequately pro-1
lecled. There Is no longer any m > rloiiM i
opposition to this , for while It costs j
money the Investment Is a gooil one ,
viewed simply as a matter of Insurance.
True our long Insecurity In this respect
has not resulted to our disadvantage ,
but nearly everybody now understands
that It Is not good policy for the tuition
to leave' Its seaports In the unprotected
condition they wore In for so long a
time. It Is manifestly unwise to leave
property valued at hundreds of millions
of dollars exposed to the danger of u
pixslbh- foreign war. when the country
Ts rich enough to provide the protection
this property ought to have. With our
coast defenses completed and our navy
made a little stronger , the United States
will be In a position where It need not
trouble Itself about any possible foreign
enemy and whleh will give It greater
Inlluewe In the affairs of this hemis
phere. It will be a iMiwor to be rospr-eled
by every other nation of the world and
especially by all American countries. It
shoul'l bi' the aspiration of all good cit
izens to se the'r ' country In this posi

The constitution of the state of Ne
braska makes drunkenness on the part
of any state olllelal a cause for Im
peachment and removal from olllee.
The question which this provision sug
gests Is , Should any man be elected to
any otllee , state or national , who is no
toriously an habitual drunkard ? If the
framers of the constitution looked upon
drunkenness as so heinous an offense as
to make It a cause of impeachment ,
ought It not also be regarded as a dls-
nualllleallon for otllee not to bo over
looked or condoned V
In the present election these questions
must come homo to every votir ; In the
Sixth district , where the populist nom
inee for congress , W. L. Greene , Is
known to be an lucnrablevlctlm * of the
drink habit. They must ask themselves
whether they want to be representtfl in
congress by a man who must In * cared

themselves whether there is any likeli
hood that a man who cannot keep sober

will keep slu > r should..ho be sent to
Washington. They must ask them
selves whether they want their dlstilet
and state disgraced by a representative
who regularly succumbs to the whisky
jug every time It comes within reach.
If habitual drunkenness were Judge
Greene's only falling he would not be
the dangerous man that he Is. A fail
ure llrst as a minister and then as a
lawyer , ho gives no promise of being
anything else but. a failure In every
other capacity. Unable to withstand
the temptations of liquor , Is It not more
than probable that he would also be un
able to withstand the temptations that
beset national legislators ? Having
already displayed a lamentable lack of
moral stamina at critical periods , Is It
not more than probable that should hi
reach Washington In an olllelal capuclt.x
he would become altogether devoid of It ?
If at Kearney , where he Is best known
he Is least trusted. Is It not more thai
probable that at Washington he would
be still less to be trusted ?
Tlio people of the Sixth district hav.
a choice at the coming election betwooi
this man , W. L. Greene , and A. K. Cady
a sober , honorable , upright , capabk
man.whoso fidelity as a public ollicei
has been tested and never found want

in flaring headlines "Uiso In wheat was

When we get the leading Ilryan organs

And now \Vatson's state has worked Its
way Into the doubtful column. What's

An ounce of prevention Is worth a

The principle of bimetallism does not stand
on any certain ratio and may exist at 30 to
1 as well as 1 to 1C. "
If wo could have bimetallism just as well
at an honest ratio as at a dishonest ratio ,
why does Sir. Uryan now Insist upon the
populist ratio of 1C to 1 and ask democrats
to adopt It ?

While ho has been talking In ono section

Harrison has been arguing the real quta-

the state do their duty on election day.
I'awnre Hcpubllcnn : Hy the election of
MncColl nnd the entire republican state
ticket we will then have a state ndmlnhtrn-
tlon of public attaint excelled by no other
since the state ncuumcd the dignity of state
hood. And In order to hold up the hands
of n republican executive It Is of paramount
Importance to elect a legislature In full
nccord with that officer.
Tecumsch Chief lain : The state of Ne
braska haa never had a moro faithful , ac
commodating and capable secretary of stav'o
than the present Incumbent , Hun. J. A.
I'lpor , who Is also n candidate for rc-clce-
tlon on the republican ticket. H J U de
servedly popular with all parties nnd ho
merits the general esteem In which he Is
held. As a vote getter this fall he will head
the lUt.
NnlTawkn HcglBtcr : Jack MacColl Is a conservative
servativesafe. . Ideal candidate , ngulnst
whom nothing can IIP said. Ho will nil the
gubernatorial chair with credit to himself
nnd cntlro satisfaction to the people. No
more capable and efllclont man has over
been elected to that responsible .position.
In fact , nil the state ofllclala on the repub
lican ticket are deserving of the hvarty
support of every voter.
AVcepIng Water Republican : It hnn never
before been the privilege of Cass county
to have personal representation on a state
ticket , nnd now that our very able and prom
inent fellow citizen , linn. Orlando Tern ,
Is a candidate for lieutenant governor , he
should , out of county pride , If nothing clue ,
carry the county by an overwhelming ma
jority. AVe firmly believe that Mr. Tcflt
will make the best lieutenant governor the
state has ever had. Never mind your poli
tics ; vote for Tefft.
Tecumsch Chieftain : The voters of John-
Bon enmity are not forgetful of the fact that
their neighbor , Charles K. Casey of 1'awnee
county Is the candidate of the republican
> .irty for state treasurer. Our people know
Mr. Casey well. They know him as a bus
iness man of consummate ability , familiar
with the unfit and conservative handling ot
large sums of money ; they know him as n
citizen of Irreproachable character ; they
! < now him as a pleacant. social gentleman ,
Denial , modest nnd obliging.Ikcause they
know him so well Is the reason the great
majority of them nru going to vote for him.
Hnrtlngton Herald : Jack MacColl will be
our next governor If every voter goes to the
polls with the determination to vote for the
future welfare of Nebraska. Wo want no
more ; populism. Kansas , our sister on the
south , is n bleeding example of populist
misrule that appeals to the patriotism of
every good citizen. Her Industries are par
alyzed nnd her credit Is destroyed until people
ple are forced to leave the state In despair.
Let us remember that n nwceplng republican
victory will give us a higher Htandlng In the
estimation of homcscckers and capitalists.
It will turn the tide of Immigration again
toward our fertile prairies , and prosperity
will once more knock nt our door.
Arlington Times : John II. MacColl Is a
man of good business qualities , nnd Is
highly esteemed by all whu know him. Ho
Is called the Nebraakn "commoner. " Such
he Is in fact. He is plain and easily approached
preached , sympathetic , cordial and warm
hearted. Ho Is the friend of the laborer an
well as the man of business and Is loved
and inspected by both. Hc"1s an earnest ,
sincere man , honest In every fiber of hU
being and will make an Ideal governor of
Ihla great commonwealth. Let every repub
lican , either free silver or gold advocates ;
let every democrat who loves the state and
wishes to see It prosper , cast his vote the
3d of November for Jack Mac-Call.
Hcd Cloud Argus : The people of Nebraska
ore no less Interested In having the affairs
of this state administered by fair nnd cap
able men than they-arc In the restoration
of the republican party with Its policy
of protection .and reciprocity to the control
of the nation , and notwithstanding the in
tense Interest In the presidential campaign
pie Importance of electing n'tnto Olivers
In sympathy with republican principles nnd
policies will not bo In any wise overlooked.
J. H. MacColl , the republican candidate for
governor , Is n man of the people. In full
pympathy with the masses who toll and by
reason of his pioneer experience and Identl-
llcatlon with thu material development of
the state has n Just claim to the support of
nil classes. His election must rest with
the sound nnd sober Judgment of the people ,
and his character as n citizen nnd his repu
tation as n business man will certainly sug
gest to them that ho Is Just the one de
sired at this time to culdo the state back
upon the plo of prosperity.
Schuyler Sun : Jack MacColl Is gaining
every dny. Ueports from the western part
of the state Are very Mattering notwithstand
ing the efforts made by the opposition.
What has Governor Holcomb done that
should entitle him to another term of of
fice more than nny other man ? If he has
been In anyway instrumental In a more
economical financial policy who can say but
what It was as much the result of necessity
as It was through any real determination
on his part to maintain an economic prin
ciple. The fact Is ho couldn't very well
do otherwise , surrounded as ho was. The
fact that ho maintained In olllco certain
olllcials after It had been conclusively
proven that these olllcials had taken advan
tage ot their position proves that ho was
under party domination. His entire term
of olllco has been uneventful and has glve.v r'l
no great cause to show what he Is. lieIs'
therefore no moro entitled to the ofllce than
nny man. Vote for MacColl and help to
bring not only the state but the United
States back to a protective form of govern
ment.
O'Neill Frontier : Hon. M. P. KInUr.ld ,
one of the two republican nominees for
Judge cf the supreme court. Graduated from
the law school of the University of Michi
gan Just twenty years ago. His law class ,
consisting of 1G1 ! members , elected him clasa
pi-QHldcnt In Its senior year. Immediately
after his admission to the bar. In 1870 , ho
engaged In an active practice , and ' .it the
time of being appointed Judge of this Judi
cial district In 1SS7 his standing for winning
cases , amount of business and fees earned
was second to none of the profession in
north Nebraska. In 1882 he was elected a
member of the state senate and was by the
senate elected chairman of the judiciary
committee of that body. By the Increase
of Judicial districts In 1S87 a vacancy oc
curred In the then newly formed Twelfth
district , and he was appointed by Governor
Thaycr to nil that vacancy , being ehvted
to a full four years' term the following fall ,
again In the fall of 1S01 and again In thu
fall of 18 % , so that he Is now serving bin
tenth year on the district bench. For the
lust eight years Judge KInkatd could havu
at any time , when In order , commanded a
large support for a congressional nomina
tion , but ho has all the while evinced a
preference for Judicial work. That ho Is
eminently qualified by nature and require
ments and by experience us lawyer nd
judge for the position of ussoclato judge of
the supreme court is the unanimous opinion
of those who are familiar with his profes
sional and olllelal record ,

Suttmi Advertiser : No. the eight elee- i

soeuro the election of Major McKlnley for

lo thu world that this fair state of Nebraska ,
blessed by nature beyond any of her sister

Illalr Pilot : At the coming election No-
broslia will have an opportunity to show

represents principles whleh. If put Into

the other hand wo are met by the gaze of
almost the entire people of these United
States , watching anxiously to see whether
Nebraska , as n slate , lurns down her home

believes to bo right. As regards the future
business Interests of this state , there Is
much at stake. Kvcn though the free silver
agitation should bo overwhelmingly de
feated , and this state should cast Its elec
toral vote for Hryan , It will to a certain
extent Impair our business prosperity. It Is
a most critical point for Nebraska and all
eyes are turned this way. We , therefore ,
cannot afford , from n business standpoint ,
"to do other than give the stale to McKlnley

Clay Center Sun : Mr. Andrews Is pos
scsHcd of many prime requisites for a rep
rcscntntlvc , one nnd perhaps the greatest
of which Is good judgment. Combined with
that necessary qualification is experience In
public affairs and sterling -Integrity.
Ncllgh Leader : Iloss Hammond has never

own allegiance to one party Instead of

Earnest , clean and able , ho Is In form nnd

Schuyler Sun : Iloss Hammond Is going

been all right In times past , but lie is one

younger men , men that can exercise energy
and push. And the way HOBS Hammond Is

"HUMANITY AND IMIOSI'KKITY.
In this shameless appeal to dishonesty , tlio
Ilryan equation is reduced lo Its simplest

ment for the 60-ccnt dollar. It is fitting
that In the lasl weeks of Iho campaign his
"business proposition" should bo presented
to the fanners of the west , without attempt
at palliation , and stripped stark naked ,
The Indiana farmers are requested lo thlnlc

The farmers of Maine ulii'-l It , nnd replied
with emphasis to the authors of the "busl-

Honesty Is not n matter of latitude and

will vote as such.
VOTI2 FOII TIlV : A.lIi\lMi\T.S.
Weeping Water Republican : The constitu
tional amendment favoring the election of
five judges of the state supreme court In
stead of three , as the present law requires ,
should recilvo every vote In the slalo.
There nro several reasons why Ibis chnmo ;
In our judiciary should bo made. First , thu
court Is several years behind with the
docket , nnd people who are Interested In
litigation pending are great losers on ac
count of the delay ; second , tlicro are at
present Ihreo court commissioners ap
pointed to assist Iho Judges In their work
nnd each of Ihrso draw n Judge's salary of
$2,500. It would be bettor llmt the people
elect Ibe5p men than to have them namciJj
by the board. There will also bo n saving
of Iho salary of ono commissioner ( $2,500) )
ns the amendment calls for the election ot
but two now Judges. This amendment will
bo the first ono on the ballot. Don't fall
to vote for It , na It will save the state
money and do justice to the people.
Holdrego Citizen : The proposed constitu
tional amendments should 'bo carefully
studied by the voter , so that ho will bo pre
pared to vote Intelligently upon them. They
will bo voted upnn on a separate ticket
from the ono containing the list of candi
dates to bo voted for. It Is necessary that
each amendment receive a majority of all
the votes cast. Some of the amendments
are especially Important nnd should bo
adopted. Thu ono to Increase the number
of judges of the supreme court is very Im
portant and Hhonld be adopled. The amend
ment lo add to Iho list of slate olllccra i-all-
road commissioners Is also nn amendment
that should bo voted for by every person
who believes that the railroads should bo
controlled. Another Important amendment
that should receive the vote of every one ,
