1.INCOLN. Aug. 15. 4 Special. The cur
rent linue of tne Nebraska Independent
contains the following reply by ex-Oov-ernor
Poynter to the deliverance of W. J.
Bryan on the recent populUt meeting In
Denver:
VmAt week's Commoner contains a lnthy
article from the pen of It (listing uished
editor upun the Cever conference. Thre
la no disposition on my part to review that
article, but as a member of the committee
which formulated the "raanlfe'to,-' an Mr.
Bryan is (leased to call the address sent
out by the Denver conference, I may be
permitted to ssy a few words. li the first
place the Denver conference hal neither
authority nor disposition to formulate a
new platform for the ppulirt party, nor to
-peak for the party upcn any of iho new
1ru that my have arisen since Its last
national convention. The party has at no
time been divided upon any of the principles
announced In Its Uutforms. and the con
ference was calld solely for the purpose
of unifyinir the party upon matters of na
tional political policy.
Would not Mr. ilryan himself be well
pleased should a conference of democrats
;...r..niiir h,ith in of his party met
and ree to bury past dtffeience. and no
forward a united prty upon the principles
of the Kansas City platform? Doubtless
H. ' v.m'.il vn re-ord no protest, should
one condition of such agreement be thut
there ehould be no national fusion with
either the republican or populist party In
ifcd This would be exactly in line for the
demor-aMc party with what the Denver
conference did for the populiat party.
Willing to Bo Fair.
It Is true the populism were In favor of
national fusion both at the St. Louis and
fcioux Falls conventions. They were so
nturh In earnest about It at bious Falls
they did not even ask for representation
upon the national ticket, but were content
ta mMt the democrats upon a middle
rrnnnit nominating a democrat for th'
presidency and a sliver republican for vice
president. The democrats refused to con
sider the matter of fusion at all. but nomi
nated a straight democratic ticket, and
-!l nnon tioDUllsts to support It as a
fusion proposition. They generally did so,
tH..iicr r.miaiinr arilnit it as unfair.
If It was a-political sin- for the Denver
conference to repudiate national fusion, the
ri.mru.ratx are areater sinners because In
knik nntinnal conventions in which Mr.
Bryan received the nomination the dis-
.r.nrnval f f 1 iwlil T1 WSB Ml H til mOSt Ml
phatic by their refusal to accept Tom Wat
son for vice president In the first and the
election of a relict of the Cleveland ad
ministration In preference to Towne In the
facond
Theee two kicks should at least be deemed
sufficient hint to the populists that the
democrats will not support national fusion.
Th nenver conference promulgated no
.. but lft the matter of
populist platform to the next national popu
list convention. Not a single principle wa
sacrificed to bring- about a union of the
discontented elements of the party, what
policy populists shall sdopt In matters of
state politics Is left entirely to their own
Judgment In each state. This conference,
composed as It was of representative popu

Independent political action In and
with the present outlook It Is perfectly safe
to predict that the "rank and file of the
partv will endorse the action ot the Denver
oonierenco.

Home twelve years ago our client while

was n-aimed, disfigured and disabled for lire.
Her life wa saved after many weeks spent
In a hospital. After her restoration the

now In controversy. The money, thus
loaned comprises all her material wealth.
If a court of equity can afford this un
fortunate girl no relief It ought to hid Its
face for very shame. The character of
the fund, the helplessness of the client,
coupled with the fact that her former ap
plication for relief was denied because of
a mistake In drafting her answer, win ex

covered the situation and Immediately ap
plied to have the -decree opened so that
she might be allowed to plead. The court
denied the application on the ground that
he answer she filed tendered no Issue. No
opportunity was given her to amend her
ar.swer and the only recourse she had was
appeal, and the supreme court affirmed the
finding of the lower court on th ground
hat the answer was Insufficient because
the denial she made was alleged on In
formation and belief.
Miss Oruninger then renewed her appli
cation In the district court to have the
judgment opened and to be let In to de

what she deemed to be a full answer. The
library board, which had meantime pur

the objection that the denial of th former
application was a bar, and th district
court so held. To reverse this holding an
other appeal la now being prosecuted. It Is
stated In the brief that the library board
bought a quit-claim deed to the lot for
11.000 from Oakes. while It paid $3,400 for

price paid for the lot Is explained by the
fact that th city cancelled a large sum

Attorney Oeneral Prout has been re
quested by the county commissioners of
Lancaster county to bring suit In quo war
ranto to test the right of County Surveyor
Scott to act as county engineer under an
act passed at the last session of the leg-
ls:atune.
Lancaster ha had a number of bridge
scandals in past years, and last year the
courts were ssked to and did construe the
contract entered Into by the commlsloners
with C. O. Sbeely of Lincoln as Illegal.
In re venire Sheely and his friends defeated
the commissioner who brought th action
and elected a democrat. This new officer.
together with Sheely 's old friends on th
board, combined In giving him th con
tract for this year. Mr. Scott, who fur
nished a part of th evidence upon which
the court's decision of last year was based.
together with the county attorney, assisted
In getting through the legislature a bill
constituting the surveyor th engineer of
the county and providing that he should
have the right to Inspect all bridges. Scott
has been acting under this law and has
filed severs' reports charging that Sheely
has not been building bridges according to
contract, that he has used piling that was
rotten at th heart, that he charged for
material not used and that he had been
using county lumber. Sheely admitted th
latter and claimed that It was under an
agreement with the county commissioners.
Th commissioner said this was true, but
there was nothing on th records to show
that this had been done. Sheely ha sine
paid over th sum found upon an account
ing to be due for the lumber used.
Th commissioners have refused to act on
Scott's other reports, claiming that the
law he la acting under Is unconstitutional,
because on Its face It shows that It was
Intended to apply only to Douglas and Lan
caster counties, declaring that It applied
only to counties having more than 60,000
population according to th census of 1300.
Sheely's attorney has demanded of the
county attorney that he begin proceedings
to test th law, but before h had time to
reply the commissioners, on th ground
that Mr. Caldwell prefers to defend the
law, have asked th attorney general to
act.
Mr. Prout said today that he would take
no action until Mr. Caldwell returns, and
rather Intimated that he thought th
county had all th necessary machinery to
us In th matter.

STRENGTH IN FOOD.
Woman's Work Made Easy
Strength and Health.
A widow writes: "When I began to use
Grape-Nuts I had so much trouble with my
stomach and was very nervous, and as I
make my living by really hard work. I
needed all the strength possible, for I have
two boys to support.
'1 began eating Grape-Nuts simply to
try the food, but soon noticed that my
trouble was going and my nervousness
as much less, so I continued to uss
Grape-Nuts food, with the result that I
am now entirely cured. Grape-Nut always
agrees with roe, and when I work the
hardest it seems to me I enjoy them and
need them the most. They satisfy me
better and seem to do me more good than
meat.
"My younger boy, who inherits a weak
constitution from his father, who died ot
consumption, has teen greatly benefited by
Grape-Nuta He makes his breakfast of
Grape-Nuts and milk, and the result of this
diet has been that his stomach Is much
stronger snd hi appetite Increased, and
altogether he Is like another boy.
"I notice this about Grape-Nun, that
when X at them and go away to work
they seem to stay by me and sustain me
better during the day than anything else
I eat." Nam given by Postum Co., Battle
