TAU6ENECK TALKS.

He Sees in the Election Returns Bright
Hopes for the Peoples Party.
The recent election proves one thing
above all others, and that is the wide
spread unrest and discomfort among
the people. Since 1888 the people Of
the United States have been surging
from one old party to the other, hoping
to find relief by Jumping from one
frying pan into another" They have
acted like horse mired in quicksand,
lunging from side to side in the
hope of striking solid ground; but
every time they deserted one old party
for the other they have been sinking
deeper and deeper into the mire, which
is now ready to engulf them. This
shifting and surging of the voters Ito
and fro'' speaks volumes for the peo-
pies party in the future. Every time
they shift, that number who don't be-
lieve that any relief can come through
the old parties will increase, and the
confidence of those who remain will
be shaken more and more every year.
They will become wiser at every cleo
ton until, like a landslide, they will

did into the republican in 1860.
Nothing is palmer than that it is inn
possible for the old parties to give any
relief by quarreling over the tariff. Be-
fore our country again becomes pros
porous we must have the principles of
the Omaha platform enacted into law.
Money and transportation are the
two great factors which control COM
merce and trade, as we'll as the distri-
button of wealth. AS long as these
factors are in the hands of few indi-
viduals and corporations they will use
them to levy tribute upon the people
for ''all the traffic will bear"
The right to tissue money" like the
right to govern" is prerogative of
the people, and they alone have the
right to exercise it. We are just be-
ginning to get into the fight, and it is
the duty of every loyal peoples party
man and woman to stand by our cause.
We must not equivocate, neithe" yield
one inch, nor retreat single STEP No
compromise, no surrender of principle,
and no switching from the middle of
the road, must be our motto

NEBRASKA POPULISTS.

The Leading Republican Paper in tho
state Says They Are Rapidly Gaining
Strength.
The current political discussion in
Nebraska since the results of the cleo
ton have become known seem to par
take of the nature of premature exulta-
ton over the alleged demise of the peo-
pies independent party in this state.
1t is tacitly agreed by enthusiastic but
short-sighted republican editors, who
have taken no pains to subject the po-
litical situation in Nebraska to a crit
ical analysis. that the result of the re-
cent election proves Enthusiastically that
the strength of the Independent party
is on the wane; that the defeat of
Judge Holcomb marks the turning
point in the history of that party, and
that it is no longer to be considered as
an important factor in the future POI
itical contests in this state
The situation as it exists to-day, in
the light of the results of the recent
election. is worthy of serious and
earnest consideration. The Bee has
never sub scribed to the political tenets
OF the independent part. On the con-
trary, it has always opposed it's sub
treasury, fat money and wild cat cur
rency schemes. 1t has unsparingly
criticised the reckless extravaganza of
the independent legislature of 1891, ex-
posed the corruption of many of its
most prominent leaders, and showed
up in their true character the vulner-
able candidates of that party in pre-
vious campaigns With these facts in
view, it will readily be granted that
the Bee. more than any newspaper in
Nebraska, is in position to speak
fairly and from an unbiased standpoint.
Two years ago. when the democrats
had no candidate for supreme Judge and
fully two-thirds of those voting sup
ported Edgerton the populist candidate
received q 311 votes and the republican
candidate 1914 The national cam

Significant.

Anyone who studies the election re-
turns will come to this conclusion: In
those states where tho repu blicans knew
they could not win, they helped the
democrats In those states where the
democrats knew they could not win,
they helped the republicans Neither
of the old parties is afraid of the other,
but both are afraid of the populists.
Think over this, democrats Of the south
and west.

THE KANSAS ELECTION.

Some Reflections Upon the Fact That the
POpulists Gained Only q Partial VIC
tory.
First-The vote throughout the state
has been one of the lightest ever polled,
especially in the country.
Second-Fusion has received a final
and fittinr rebuke. In counties where
populists and democrats fused the tick
ct is defeated by large majorities and
the returns show that democrats voted
largely with republicans. True popu-
lists were also disyusted and stayed at
home. This is a good year for populists
to learn lesson and we hope they have
learned it.
Third-The populists have not gone
back to the republican party. The re-
publican vote is not increased over that
of 1891 so as to indicaae any such change;
and republican claims of victory based
upon any such false pretense are de-
signed only to deceive people, who
for any reason, do not make a
for themselves. In counties where
populists have failed to elect their
ticket, the vote shows that they have
simply stayed at home. Whatever may
have induced them to do this, such is
the fact; and while the result in this
off year is admittedly disastrous to the
populist cause, it does not afford rea-
sonable ground for all the vain boast
ing in which republicans are indulging.
1t simply shows that the people have a
way of expressing their disapproval Of
certain things in their own party with
out giving their support to party
which is directly responsible for all the
injustice and wrong from which they
have been suffering for SO many years
Fourth-The returns show large pop
ulist gains in the cities of the state.
Business and professional men are
awakening to the fact that their inter
ests are common with the interests of
the farmers and that when the farm
ers are not prosperous every other
business must languish.
Fifth-The most gratifying result of
this election is in the fact that the
Australian ballot system has eliminated
the merchantable vote, and the repub-
1ican party is the one to suffer from
this cause. The heelers have not vet
discovered method by which they can
buy voter and be sure that he fulGIls
his contract
Sixth-The greatest populist gains
have been in former republican strong
holds Doniphan was one of these
counties.
Republican editors and jackleg law
yers who are belching so much gas on
account of the great republican victory
~ in Kansas know very we'll that re-
publicansm is constantly on the de-
cline in that state, and that state or
national election must inevitably result
in their overwhe lining defeat The re-
turns of this>election will afford no in.

low the average for republican state
officers in 1892. Credit ng Judge Harri-
son with the 10 per cent. drop from tho
aggregate vote of last year, he still
falls behind over 5000 on the presiden-
tial vote of last year. The decline in
the democra tic vote this year, as COM
pared with last year, exceeds 1900,
and deducting therefrom the 10 per
cent. drop still leaves 6,s73 votes to be
accounted fo-. 1t is safe to say that

went to Harrison. so that the actual
republican vote for Harrison was only
about SO. O00 or 9. 600 less than were cast
for the lowest candidate on the state
ticket year ago. These 5000 repre-
sent an absolute detection by reason Of
the defeat of Maxwell.
There is nothing in the election re.
turns to warrant the assumption that
the peoples independent party in Ne
braska is losing ground to any extent,
or to warrant the presumption that the
republican party has gained in strength.
In state elections Nebraska has never
been a ,populist state. Numerically
that party is just as strong as it was
last year and stronger than it was two
years ago. 1t knows no factional diff
ferences and its organization is in many
respects more compact 1t IS destined
to play an important part in next years
campaign, for it stands as thoroughly
organized protest against the further
encroachment of corporate influence
upon the administration of the states
affairs It stands as significant
menace to the disreputable political
methods of the men who by the
result of the last election gained tenn
porary advantage over the people It
Is to-day an organized protest against
corporate control of the executive, leg
islative and judicial departments of the
state government It's subtreasury
schemes, its wild cat currency theories,
are of no consequence. 1t is the ster-
ling, unpurchasable integrity of the
men who compose the rank and file of
its party organization that plants the
party across the pathway Of unrefect-
ing parties and mercenaries marching
under the banners of corporate power.
The Bee is not attempting to foster
the strength of political organization
that is regarded by many as standing
menace to the prosperity and credit of
the state. 1t is not seeking by fulsome
fattery to perpetuate or encourage a
party that might be unable to wisely
manage the affairs of the state if placed
in power. 1t merely points out the fall
lacy of the assumption that the indie
pendent party is no longer factor in
political contests in Nebraska. 1t does
this because it believes that it is the
better part of wisdom for the repub-
ican party to measure the full strength
of its opponent rather than to permit
itself to be lulled to sleep in fancied
security by the exultation Of short
sighted men who are unable to look
beneath the surface of existing polit-
itical conditions.
Repu blicans of Nebraska had better
heed the warning. 1t is made now be-
cause the agents of the corporations in
Nebraska are already actively at work
upon their plans to pursue the tenn
porary advantage they gained at the
polls November 7.-Omaha Bee.

If the south and west will make the
fight upon the financial issue and the
tariff they will carry nearly every
state beyond the Mis- >issippi and every
southern state which has no large city
or very large manufacturing interests.
If the west insists on putting too
much in the platform, as it did in the
last populistic platform, and insists in
foisting on the south a candidate with
war record, then the south should
vote for electors upon a home made
platform. This will throw the election
OF president in the house of representa-
tlves where each state has one vote,
and of course we could then elect a
president to suit us-a democrat in
nature if not in name. If in 1860 the
south and the west had done this, there
could have been no war.
