Political Doubts.

BU Shdhc spear,
The railroad gang say that Van Wyck has
done wrong,

That hell surely get left for doing that way,
And may be he will-but we doubt it.
There is Paul, whom they say, doesn't need
any boom
He can get to the state house without it,
He will run in the race-if lac gets any chance
And maybe he will-bnt we doubt II.
The "B. & NJ" nomnates Howe for the
First"
Their chorus stands ready to shout it,
They will carry him through on a pass so
And maybe they will-but we doubt it.
There's a nice little boom down at York for
''Doe" Knapp,
And his friends are trying to sprout il.
They say they can get it to bloom before
frost,
And maybe they can-but we doubt it.
Jim Lairds going back on his mush now,they
lie can't make his speeches without it;
They want him to hold down democracy's

And maybe he'll go but we doubt it,
The democrats say that the anti-Van Wyck's

On His Recnrd.

AS county after county in Nebraska,
through their republican conventions, de-
clares itself for Senator Van Wyck, the
value of a straight record as a public
representative begins to dawn upon the
Doodle gang of statesmen who have un-
dcrtnken the job of defeating the sena-
tors election in the interest of the con
federated monOpolies of the state.
Nearly SIX years ago General Van
Wyck accepted the election to the United
States senate from the hands of the Deo-
pie of Nebraska through the legislature
assembled in joint session. In his speech
thanking the convention for the
choice, he promised n faithful ad-
hcrence to the will of the
people and earnest work on
behalf of his constituents. The
promises then made fave been carried
out to the letter. With his record of
more than five years service, an open
book from which ali can read, Senator
Van Wyck calls upon his constituents to
place the seal Of approval or dissent upon
IL. He challenges criticism of his mo-
tives or methods and invites discussion of
the results During his entire service in
the senate the voice ana vote of the scna-
tor from Nebraska have been heard and
cast on every question of national as
well as of local Importance. For the
first time in years Nebraska found her.
self represented by n man of experience,
of ability and of force of character, able
to asscst himself and make him
self felt among the giant debaters
of the upper house. Upon every
question relating to the great transporta-
ton interests as affecting the producers
of the country Senator Van Wyck has
taken n decided stand and occupied n
prominent position in their discussion.
He has held the banner Of national rene
dial legislation in the interests of the
people of the west high IN the senate,
where all could see it, Despite ridiculc
and abuse and detraction he has never
swcrvcd from the stand to which he was
bound by his pledges and pledged by his
honest convictions. No member of the
corrupting lobby ever dared to approach
him twice. No suspicion of fraud
taints his garments. Honest, fear.
less and unilnchng he has been
trne representative of the best
western sentiment, and of the wishes
aud demands of western con
stituency.
Senator Van Wyck's record on the
anti-monopoly issue has been no less
decided than his record upon every other
vital issue of the day. Upon the ques.
tions of revenue reform, labor, public
lands, currency contraction, pensions to
deserving soldiers, and redress for in
jured government claimants he has never
been forced to surrender position or
apologize for the stand taken Untiring
in his efforts on bchalf of measures of
special advantage to the people of his
own state he has worked no less faith
fully for those which he believed to be of
general utility.
1t is on such a record that the senator
bases his appeal for reelection, know
ing and feeling that it is the soundest
basis upon which any representative can
look for an endorsement from an intelli-
gent constituency

The EnistIa of ST. Paul

Jim Paul has Mt last found one champ.
ION that is willing to stand up and call
him martyr. The Republican, which
published Paul's bunch of aflidavits, had
the prudence to refrain from an opinion
on their value. The Lincoln journal,
however, which stands up brazenly for
every rogue that goes unwhipped of JUS
tice, including that tramp, dead beat and
swindler, Wilcox, the Mendoza carpen-
ter, has actually yentured to defend the
sanity apostle from Howard county by
proclaiming him victim of Van Wyck's
unholy ambition.
This is prime and will surprise nobody
more than the lusty Paul. The idea that
'hc is really . much slandered political
martyr is too absurd for denial The
poor girl whom he victimized has been
sought out in the east, and, being men,
tally weak, has been induced to sign an
affidavit which, on Its face, is a dead
giyeaway. She admits that she charged
him with h0r ruin but after lapse of
nearly eight years she has discovered her
mistake and now declares that it was
some other man. Paul himself does not
deny that he has contributed to the sup
port of an infant which bears n very
striking resemblance to its reputed
father, The grandfather of the child
Rev. Mr.. Lewis, solemnly reasserted his
belief in the guilt OF Paul in the card
which he recently published in the Omaha
Republtcaa. The farm which Paul do
noted to maintain the child has passed
into the hands of Hon Leander Gerard
We have heard of many singular cases of
charity and philanthrophy, but never of
an Instance where n man out of pure
heneyolenee decided farm away to sup
port another mans child, because it
looked like him. II Paul is really the
victim of blaokmail he ought to be can
onized and his name enrolled among the
saints rs st. Paul of Howard.

monopoly republicanism replies that the
paper is about to change hands and
it can't tell what the new proprictors
will do about It, 1t will make little diff
ference in any event. Nebraska republi-
cans long ago ceased to take their cue

in cases where they have persisted IN

an American seaman who on being dis
charged from his ship and paid off, placed

Senator Van Wyck is playing q one-dny
engagement at dime nrlseum at West Point
to-day. Herald.
This is not only n wanton and ma
licious fling ut the senator but an insult
to every Roman Catholic in the state.
What the HCrdid calls dime museum
was the Fair of the Catholic Knights at
West Point, and the dime admission fee
was for the benefit of that benevolent
order, Senator Van Wyck did not thrust
himself upon that society, but went to
West Point by the express invitation OF
the Catholic clergymen, who desired
through his presence to make the fair
more attractive. What the Herald called
n dime museum its monopoly mate,
the Lincoln Journal, called a "beer
garden" Both these papers only reflect
the sentiment of II bigoted minority.

course, to the interest of these land pir-
