sional Record is not filled with his
speeches He does not enjoy fame as
an orator with a voice like a tinkling
cymbal or sounding brass. But no man
who has ever represented a Nebraska
congress district has done so much for
his people as Mercer. While other Ne
braska congressmen made speeches
Dave rustled on the floor of the house
and senate for votes for measures In
the interest of Nebraska, and In al
most every instance he pot what he
went after. Mr. McShane was In con
gress from' the district that included
Douglas county, and can anybody re
call 'a 'Angle thing that he did for the
people in his district and state? Mr.
Bryan' was in congress from the same
district, and the tlntlnabulatlon of 'his
K,to.l voice was heard In many places,
aid Ms pleasing smile cast its benign
rays on the democrats of the Americus
club of Philadelphia and the populists
of tjae. far west and. almost everybody
else in fact; but can anybody point to
one, measure that be succeeded in hav

One or two foolish persons In Omaha
who want tc become Dave's successor,
charge that he delayed action on the
Trans-Mississippi exposition bill for
political effect. Such a charge is ri
dtentens en its face. Congressman
Strode, of this district, was queried on
this point tnlsweek and he said to us:
"Mr. Mercer worked unceasingly to
secure the passage of the bill, from
early in the session down to the last

He was not promoted" by thensachtee
nor by skillful engineering. Thccon
vention was simply the instrument
that recorded the will of the people;
it did not follow the dictation of, the
bosses. And, so far is he the choice
of the people that many of the clear
thinking men of other parties will vote
for him, even thousands of voters that
have heretofore identified themselves
with the democratic party. Nomination
rnder such circumstances is practi
cally equivalent to election; of these
facts few have a doubt who are any
wise familiar with the prevailing senti
ment obtaining among working men of
the cities and manufacturing localities
wherever you choose to go, in the
whole country.
McKlnley's great popularity with the

Industry and home institutions this' is
the great source of his supremacy in
the minds of the people. The nation
is hungry for the protection that is an
essential of prosperity and wants no
more of a "tariff for revenue only"
that has In the last few years proven
itself capable of bankrupting half of
the country and depleting the treas
