Senator VasWyck be- started cut
to heat Valentine, Republican, Who
h running for Coagres In the fhird
district, Nebs.ska. The Republican
psess- Of that State b severe on the
senator, bat that genlleu'an eoDttn-
ues the trouble which will end In
the defeat q Valentine.
Aud DOW Il transpires that the bulk
Il the Republican los In Ohio O.
Cured In those precincts and wards
where the percentags q foreign born
voters h the least, which fact does
not consist with the statement that
the Germans, to . man, voted against
the Republican ticket.
New York, Indiana, and Pe0nsyl'
vsnis aro conceded to the Democrats
by the Republicans, while many
wellintorned men predict that llli-
nois and Wisconsin viii cast Demo
cratic majorities. The solid North
IL broken up by irreeoneilable fac
,ions. The god work goes brave'y
on.
The Democrats q Je0sssoa county
made an excellent selection n Mr..
A. N. Easteriy ~ their candidate for
Assessor. Aside from bis conceded
ability, M. Eastesly eombin.s .
thorough knowledge Of property val
uatio1s q his eosnty with ~ integ-
rity Of character recognized BY ill
who are acquainted with him. Hb
e|ectios b beyond question.
It b stated that Mr.. Conkling viii
take the stump on behalf Of the Re-
publican ticket q New York. It has
been Understood for some time that
Mr.. Conkling hsd retired from active
political life and would devote his
time to his profession and to the
building up Of his bask account. But
1t SCENE the exigencies Of the Stall
warts demand that their great chief
shall take the field for Folger.
The Chicago Inter Ocean thinks
'ifCadet Whitaker h really max
ing the speeches that arc attributed
to him In South Carolina In support
Of the Democratic ticket, . great deal
Of symnathy has been wasted up"n
him BY Ex.President Hayes and
other men he h ahusing." II Cades
Whitaker u abusing Ex-Presidert
Hayes and the Republican party, 1t
il because he haa reason to think he
has been shameiully abused and neg
lected by them.
The New York zswses, Tribune and
Evening Po~t, the three leasling Re-
publican newspapers Of that State
oppose Mr.. FOlger and predict his
defeat. His nomination was secured
by such glaring fraud and forgery
that any journal having . decent re-
srect for itself and for the intelli-
gence Of the people will not support
hin. Mr.. Folger's defeat b ~ err
tain - that Of Beaver, Of Pennsyl-
vania. Republican bt'ssism has
about swamped the once great Re-
publican party.
"The Chinese and Silver questions
are not Issues in this CONTEST" say
the Republican press anil managers
who iguored them In the Territorial
convention and who seek to ignore
then, in discussing the political situ-
alton. Let no one be deceived. They
are live issues. Everybody knows
this fact who has any knowledge Of
what IL going on. and the people
should zee that they are carried to
the polls and there voted On BY cast
ing n.aj"rities against the candidates
Of . party that dare not place itself
on record In harmony with the views
Of the great mass IT the people. The
democracy Of the Territory h sousd
upon both questions.
A correspondent Of the Inter Aowa-
ta;s, who processes to write from
Centerville and signs himself "Many
Voters" attacks the Democratic
nominees on the Legislative ticket
with q nauseating mixture Of ignor-
apce and dem .gogism. He opens
his communication with the allega-
tlou that Mr.. FOrbis iutrDduced Coun-
ell Bill No. ~. The readiest answer
tn this harmless Islander b, Mr.. For
bis never was u member Of the Legis-
lative Council Of Montana. An ear
" occasion will be taken to show that
this law, which the correspondent
feels to he ~ obnoxtosns, was sired,
damned and wel.nursed BY . promi-
nent Republican member Of the Leg
islature.
The Republican nominee for Dele
gate to Congress has greater zeal than
discretion. The burden of the song
he Is singing for the campaign h,
that his opponent has the support Of
corporations, contractors and all that
sort Of people. He would have it in
ferrel that lie wants to fight these
things In Congress. Some enthusias-
tic allnlirer wsuld do well to figure
up how many votes a. 4. Botkin
would receive In Lewis and Clarke
county BY announcing his intention
