"But this sort of thing was not the worst. When the book of the dead and la mented John A. Logan was ready fur the press this infamous creature Cadt Tay lor. It Is assorted by 'those who ought to know, went to the widow and demanded a half Interest In the venture of Its ruMi cation. He asserted that he hsd written It bodily and threatened her with exposure to that effect. Hie brother. Beach Tay lor, had been Locsn s private secretarv. Vnder these threats Vrs. Losan yielded and gave to this cresture. Cadet Talor. a half interest In tbe book as a projrty. Po far as can be known he never contributed the scratch of a pen or the value of a cent to Ita production. He simply blackmailed and robbed the widow of John A. lxigan out of thousands of dollars at the very moment when a man whom his paper now villlfl es and maligns was pushing througrh congress a measure designed to relieve her financial distreaa. "The career of Cadet Taylor in Ne braska Is familiar to all. He has been personally and through his paper a bull dozer, a blackmailer, an utonionlst and a cringing beggar by turns. He Is known by his dally conduct to be one cf the most despicable characters that ever proailtuted the human shape to the habitation and us- of a brute As a thief, blackmailer and scoundrel he stands without a peer in the present repute and past history cf a state in which that style of creature it alleged to have flourished with considerable lux uriance. That he la a liar and a sneaic goes without saying as necesf-ary to the round completeness of his general char acter. "And" tflis is a faintly drawn rfcture of the man who seeks to lead the respectable Journalism of the republican party In Ne braska and In thus describing him The Herald simply essays to turn a dim and in iuffioieat liRht upon the only man In many thousands who know that he has had the hardihood to villify and slander John A. Methane. Reveling today In the fruits of thievery and knavery, he resides outside the penitentiary' simply by the mistaken grace of those whose duty it was to arrest and punish him." Exhibit 2.

History of the Notorious Bubble Bank and Other Itiscreditable Transactions for Which Taylor Is to Be Now Rewarded. "The announcement of the nomination of Cadet Taylor to be surveyor of customs at the port of Omaha, although rumored for some time, has r roved a surprise to every body fumllhu- with his unsavory record and questionable standing in the communUy. The seiec lien of a notorious bank wrecker for this res jKmsi bie position naturally re calls tbe many disreputable arfairs with which be kas been connected since he came ta Omaha. "Cadet Taylor was projected iclo this city shortly after tbe advent of Grover Cleve land to the presidency, by whom he was dlalodged from a lucrative position In the governmestl printing office at Washington. Taylor had been made chief clerk of the government printing office under S. P. Rounds, who had been appointed public printer through tbe Influence of the 1111 noie del-ation In eonjrresB, from which state Taylor also hailed. Gaverawaeat Prlallaa Office Jobs.

One wetk later Tar Icr was made chairman of the finance committee, with especial oversight over the city money. In deference to this additional prentice another block of S3.n was !l!ecall deposited in hi bank February T, and not a dollar was drawn cut until after the embesilemer.t of the treasurer was dis covered.

Taylor set up the claim at the time that the lV.K' and more found in his bank when Bo'.ln was deposed was school money which Bolln had a right to use as he saw fit. but the records of the city treasurer's office disclose! the fact that there was no money w atever in the school fund, which had been completely exhausted, and that the money In Taylors bank was not only city money embexxled by Bolln. but should have been known to be such by Taylor as chairman of the finance -committee.
