THE HAND. CAPPED CANDIDATE

The republican state committee, rec
ognizing the potential influence of THE
BEE, has kept at the head of the first
column of its campaign sheet an extract
from this paper concerning the personal
character and qualifications of Judge T.
o. G. Harrison. This is very compli-
mentary to THE BEE as we'll as Judge
Harrison. But why does the campaign
organ omit the concluding portion of
THE BEES comment relative to the
methods by which Harrison's nomination
was secured?
The article which the railroad repub-
lican editor has kept in big black type
at the head of his sheet appeared in
The BEE under the caption, IA Handi-
capped Candidate" The suppressed por-
ton of the article reads as follows:
MIR. Harrison's candidacy will, however,
be resented by thousands of republicans be-
cause 1t was brought about by methods that
are unrepublicau and therefore destructive
of the sovereign right of the people to self
government. Mr.. Harrison is not the
choice OF the republican party of Nebraska
through representatives voicing its senti-
ment. He holds his title from a convention
dominated by railroad magnates and state
house plunderers. His candidacy repre-
sents the elements that have degraded re-
publicanism and converted 1t into an instru-
ment of usurpation and political misrule.
He is the product of a criminal conspiracy
to make the highest judicial tribunal OF the
state subservient to the satraps Of the rail
roads, who seek to fasten the chains of politi-
cal serfdom upon our people and reduce Ne
nraska from its proud position as a free
state to a subjugated province.
Under such circumstances Mr.. Harrison's
candidacy is dOubly unfortunate. 1t is I'M
| fortunate for him that he comes handicapped
by political hackers who are discredited by
the people, and it Is unfortunate for the re-
publican party, which enters the campaign
loaded down by the incubus Of monopoly
and official delinquency. These deplorable
circumstances make it impossible for The
BEE to give Judge Harrison it's unqualified
support. We are compelled to protest
against the pernicious methods that have
brought him into the field and TO remon.
strate earnestly against the substitution OF
rallroadism for republicanism in the coun-
ellis of the party.

1t will not do for Bennett to plead
that the worst scandals are chargeable
to the jailer. George A. Bennett is
responsible for the acts of his deputy,
Theodore Bennett, and his failure to
discharge him long ago shows that he
has no regard for his oath of Office and

The anti-vice committee winds up its
TRADE against Mayor Bemis by asking:
Can any one vote for such q man for
mayor of Omaha?" Now let us ask
these gentlemen, whom do you advise
voters to support for mayor? Somebody
will be elected mayor next Tuesday. III
you don't vote for Bemis because he
does lot come up to your idea in dealing
with vice and crime do Hascall and
Bedford come any nearer 10 your IDEAL?
Hascall is a constant associate OF the
classes you want to suppress and Bed
ford makes no pretense OF municipal re-
form in the direction you are travelling.
MERGERS candidacy is a farce. Every
vote given to him is half a vote for Has
call. He stands no more chance of cleo
tion than of being struck by lightning
in January, and If he was a possibility
for mayor he would no more carry out
the ideas of the anti-vice people than
Bemis. Mercer did not sign the anti
vice petition and would not have touched
it so long as he had any political pros
poets.
In view of those stubborn facts, what
will people who are satisfied with the
way Bemis has administered the affairs
of the city and protected the taxpayers
against the rapacity of 70 Operations and
contractors gain by voting for candidates
who are not as safe?
Omaha daily bee., 1893-11-06

ONE paramount fact must not be for
gotten in the excitement of this election.
Mayor Bemis has been on the safe side
upon every question involving the in
terests of taxpayers and workingmen.
His few mistakes have not cost the city
either money or reputation. He has
been as solid as a rock on the side of tho
people as against contractors and cor
porations. No pressure could be applied
by railroads or other benefciaries OF
public franchise during the last two
years to induce him to approve a meas
ure contrary to the welfare of the city
or to veto an ordinance which he felt
the public interest demanded. He
has been i~ncorruptible and everybody
who has had dealings with him knows
it. Safe beyond question, well equipped
by two years of experience, honest as
the day is long and representative il
character, he should be and will bt
triumphantly reelected.

garded as probable, although he has the
devoted support Of the democratic ma
chine. As the legislative districts were
newly arranged by the last democratic
legislature, the democrats will probably
retain control of the Legislative depart
ment, and 1t is to be expected that they
will also elect the state officers to be
chosen. Pennsylvania is expected to
give the normal republican majority for
a justice of the supreme court and a
state treasurer.
The result in none of these states,
with the possible exception OF Ohio,
will really have any very great general
significance, though they will serve to
indicate to some extent the trend of pub
lie opinion.

RESCUE THE SUPREME COURT.
From The Suuddu Bee.

HfVN' AHt 'ffNN 1N'f
In times OF war the sentinel that goes
to sleep while standing guard subjects
himself to the penalty Of death the same
as IL he were a deserter. The man who
stands seminal as the tribune of the
people and allows the enemy to rob
them Of their liberties without sounding
the alarm is precisely in the position of
the sleeping sentinel or the deserter on
the eve of battle.
The supreme COURTS the bulwark OF a
free people. It is the arbiter between
debtor and creditor, between employer
and employe, between railroads and
their patrons, between insurance COM
panies and their policy holders, between
taxpayers and tax-shirkers, between the
people and their public servants. A
supreme court composed OF conscien-
tious, fearless and upright judges
stands like a pillar of fire between
might and right, between usurpation
and constitutional power, between arbi-
trary exaction and reasonable femuner-
alton, between the sovereign state and
its corporate creatures. Can we have
such a supreme court so long as their
credentials emanate from Car Holdrege
and the ~mercenaries who turned down
Judge Maxwell?
Men of Nebraska, the hour has como
to rescue the supreme court, no matter
at what sacrifice and to what extent you
must do violence to your political creed.
Let party perish for a time that the
republic and republican institutions may
survive.
The bugbear Of frightening capital
from Nebraska il the railroad candidate
for supreme judge is defeated should
have no terrors for any patriotic citizen
who loves his country and its free insti-
buttons. But how can the states credit
be crippled any worse than it has been?
Could anything be more damaging than
the fact that the state treasury has been
looted by the connivance of III state
officers and is now 800, 900 short? Gould
anything be more damaging than the
s~candalous conduct of the ~impeached
state officials and the subsection Of our
supreme court TO the dictates of the con
federated corporations? Could anything
worse happen to Nebraska than the sur
render of the right OF self-government
to arrogant railroad autocrats, who
maintain their power by an army of mer
cenaries, fed at the expense of the pro
ducers? If there ever was a time when
every mar who loves freedom and hates
despotism, under whatever name it may
dominate, should strike a blow fol
liberty, it is next Tuesday when he cast
his vote for supreme judge.

As BETWEEN ELLER AND BAXTER.

The two leading candidates for county
judge, j. w. Eller and Irving h. Bax-
ter, are both republicans. Eller comes
before the citizens of Douglas county as
the candidate endorsed for reelection
by tho convention that endorsed George
Bennett for sheriff in the face of the
most damaging charges of official mis-
demeanor. Mr.. Baxter was endorsed
by the bar association and the demo-
cratic county convention as one of the
candidates for a nonpartisan judiciary.
Between the supporters of Baxter and
Judge Eller there has been a war of
words waged that has filled columns and
pages of the papers and furnished
material for pamphlets and circulars
Q nough to supply the want for carpet
lining in the whole city for the next ten
years. Brushing aside all the charges
and cou~ntercharges we find this to be
about the state OF facts:
Judge Eller has introduced a new set
of blanks and books for the use of the
county court. The books, SO far as can
be a~scertained, have peer we'll kept and
the records of the office are fairly up TO
the standard of other courts. The
blanks introduced by Judge Elle- have
made a very heavy increase in the costs
of publication. There has also been a
very material increase in the cost of pro-
batting estates. These increased costs are
all charged up to the estates of people
who died leaving any property. In other
words, Judge Eller has levied needless
costs upon the widows and orphans
whose property goes through the hands
of the county court. The glaring con-
trast between the number of clerks en-
ployed by Judge Eller and his prede'
cessor cannot be explained away. The
United States circuit and district courts,
which do fully three times the business
that is lone in the county court, only
employ four clerks, while Judge Ellel
employs nine clerks. This extrava
gance cannot be justified on the grount
that the pay of these clerks does not
come out of the pockets of the
taxpayers. Everybody knows tina.
it does come out of the pockets o
people who have business in tho county
court. There is no reason why the
county court should be a mere cost mil
for the benefit of tax-eaters. One OF thu
clerks of this court boasts that he car

THE popular demonstration in favor
of France which occurred unavoidably
in Madrid on Thursday must go far to
confirm the rumor that Spain was to be
included as a third party in the Franco
Russian alliance. The sympathies of
the Spanish people are undoubtedly
with the French, and ever il the Access

an accomplished fact Europe annot be
much surprised should the rumored
agreement materialize in the very near
future
