he ,hree-cornered or not II is said that Mr.
Morton wants to get in and surely the re-
publican side of the show shouldn't object to
his making an exhibition of his free trade
falIacies. According to General Van Wyck,
MIR. Morton is welcome to step In, so all that
is necessary to insure the success OF the
greatest political show on earth is to arrange
the details-that is, in the prevailing New
Orleans parlsnce, put up the stuff and come
to the center.
Just to add to the interest of the campaign,
Damn-the heCanstitution Shrader has issued
challenge to Tom Majors. In sending out
this defy the Independent state committee
has couched 1t in language betting the
emergency and the man whom they propose
to throw into the breach. Shrader Is one of
the greatest calamity howlers in the state,
and the challenge starts out with this doleful
wall I'VE are on the verge of impend-
ing revolution. In the cities and towns
lockouts and strikes threaten the peace OF
society. Labor is everywhere discontented.
Stagnation In business confronts us on every
hand. Crime and paupersm are rapidly on
the increase. Capital is concentrating into
the hands of the few. The rich are growing
richer, the poor growing poorer. Mort
cages cover the face Of this richest of all
lands. The cause must be discovered and
understood"
Congressman KEN thought he was
smooth man and his trick to deceive the re-
puhlicans by advertising Whitehead to speak
at his meetings was quite cute, considering
the source. But Matt paugherty caught
onto the little red headed ROSTERS game and
called him down. Ken must either tote fair
or back down.
General Van Wyck stands souarely upon
the platform of the peoples party. but he is
not a communist. At Grand Island the
other night he had occasion to leave his
room temporarily and when he returned ne
found two men comfortably snoozlng in his
bed. TO this the general was opposed on the
ground that it was combination for
purposes of monopoly, the two sleepers hav-
ing evidently entered into conspiracy to
Cypress and defraud the weak.
The "Discples of HARMONY Of Peru have
organized an orchestra, with the editor of
the Peru Gazette as secretary. This Or
ganization has nothing TO do with politics.
Down IN Nebraska City they refer to Billy
Bryan as Young Man Afraid of w atson.
The Crete Vidette is one of those papers
which doesn't believe in calling harsh Names
ana so 1t refers to Rip Shorter Bill Deoh as
the silly of the valley farmer" Williams
friends Will appreciate that.
The republicans of Clay county have
raised a campaign fund of 81 800 and are still
adding to it. And they haven't a field as wide
as two states from which to solicit subscrip-
tions nor have they the aid of "popuar''
newspaper.
The republican editors of the Fourth con
gressional district will get together at Lin
coin Thursday. Then look out for trouble
in the enemy's camp
According to the Plattsmouth Herald Nor
ton and Gering will receive more votes In
Cass and Otoe counties than will young Mr..
Bryan. The old line democrats have it in
for the youthful apostle of free silver and
calamity.
The Lincoln Sun asks this question and
then makes a lot Of foolish statements: "How
many republicans in Nebraska do not know
how they will vote on governor until the
railroad managers decide whether 20 throw
the state to Crounse or to Morton?" The
Sun might just as well have rung in Van
Wyck with the other two.
