The Break Up in Nebraska.

The Free-Silver, Anti-Boss, Anti
Cleveland Democratic convention, to
be held at Omaha, June 81 promises
to be "rouser.f The Nebraska pa
pers are full of it, Here is sample:
The Nebraska Democratic silver
will be the bigge8 thing in the con-
vention line eyel1held in this state,
provided the rai1hads will give us a
reasonable rate bf fare. When we
speak of free silver Democrats up this
way we include almost the entire par
ty. Administrator Democrats in this
vicinity are scarcer than politicians
are in paradise. Out of 400 Democrats
in Merrick county, 800 want to go to
the conference. They want to see
Bryan and tell him that they are with
him in his fight against the gold bugs
and monopolists. This convention
will work nothing but good to the
state, but we fear it may ruin us in
dividually.
Some partial friend put our name
on the invitations committee and told
US to invite not over twenty delegates
from this county How in the mis-
chief are we going to select twenty
when the whole party wants to go?
The fellows who are sighted will
murder us, sure. We are In trouble
about this matter and the only way
we see out of it is to put all the names
in box and draw out twenty and let
providence decide who shall represent
Merrick county in the free silver con-
vention. If We ever get out Of this
scrape, we will never let greatness be
thrust upon US again.--Central City
Democrat.
What pity the Democrats OF Min
nesota, who are 90 per cent free-silver
men, have not the pluck to get up a
similar convention. If they did there
might be some excuse to talk about
fusion" with them, since they would
be ''come- -odters,'s son to the Populist
platform, SO, far at least as silver is
concerned. The union of those who
think alike is natural; the combina-
tion of those who hold hostile prin-
ciples is an abomination unto the
Lord. But the Minnesota Democracy
have not the courage to break loose
from the leading strings. l. D.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-06-20

only in this country but all over the
civilized world; for no man would sell
silver at 60 cents, in London or Calcut
ta, when it was worth 100 cents in
Philadelphia. Then why stand, capin
hand, Offering to make junk-trades
with John Bull, when we have the So
luton of the whole matter in our own
hands?
But all this is only another game to
swindle the people out of their votes
once more. Put it off. Get up an
other conference with the money
lenders of the old world. 1t will be "a
good enough Morgan till after elec-
tion." Anything to fool the dear peo-
pie. "How not to do it, is the sine
qua non of the old party politicians.
The whole thing is shameful and
disgraceful. I'D.

The Income Tax.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The business
mems meeting in Carnegie Music hall,
this evening to protest against the in
come tax feature of the new proposed
tariff was not huge success. The
call was signed by nearly 500 repre-
sentatlves of the largest business in
terests of the city. The platform was
crowded with gentlemen influential
IN the business walks of life. Prepar-
atlons had been made to accommodate
the crowds that had been expected,
speakers having been selected to ad-
dress an overtiowing meeting should
the hall prove insufficient in capacity.
1t was something disappointing that
the promoters waited for the crowds
TO collect. and the speaking, which
was to begin at the hall, was delayed
half an hour. At that time the audi
torlqm contained about 1000 people:
Col. William L. Strong, president of
the Central National bank, called the
meeting to order, and nominated for
chairman President Evan Thomas, of
the Produce Exchange, and for secre-
tary Edward ODwyer, of the Com
mercial Club.
Poor fellows, Poor millionaires.
How badly they must have felt to
think that the pnverty-stricl1en multi
tudes Rotsssi not come out, in great
swarms, to protest against the rich
men being taxed. Just think of it.!
These excellent millionaires, these
nice gentlemen-have the protection
OF government to maintain society
and order for the safety of their safes
and bank accounts, and their worth
less lives; and now the unreasonable
people ask them to pay part Of the
bill. What anarchism They have
danced and feasted and had a Jolly
good time for generations. and now
they are cruelty requested to pay the
fiddler and the cook. Really it is too
bad. Why can't the farmers and the
workmen pay for their fun? That is
the way they managed it before the
great French Revolution. The peas
ants built the bridges and paid toll on
them; the clergy and tile nobility paid
nothing to build the bridges and
Travelled over them free. What a
beautiful dispensation! How charm
ing. The common peopled owned
AOohihS anu pulo ONOi J UliHS: UuC
aristocracy of state and church owned
everything and paid nothing. And
then to think of those horrible sans
culottes, hairy, hungry chaps,-with not
enough clothes to cover their naked
ness, nor enough flesh to cover their
bones, rising up and chopping the
heads off all those nice, pleasant,
amiable blue-blooded, high-toned.
sword-bearing gentlemen, more gorge
ously arIayed than Solomon in all his
glory, or the lilies of the field, that
toll not neither do they spin.
Let US have good big standing
army in the United States, and see if
we cannot re-establish the conditions
which existed in France before the
Reign of Terror. We have advanced a
long ways towards them already. Let
the good work go on. l.. D.

A Splendid Nomination..

Many congratulations to the Popu.
lists of North Dakota, for having had
the good sense to nominate Hon.
Walter Muir, for Congress. He is one
Of Gods natural noblemen. If WON.
ans suffrage prevailed, there is only
one person, in North Dakota, we
should prefer to him for that place
that is,-Mrs. Walter Muir. But
when you elect Walter, as you will,
print proviso on the ballots that if
he gets sick Mrs. Muir, is to take his
place in the House, and tell the rob-
bers of the people just what she
thinks of them.
Success to Mr.. and Mrs. Muir and
the rest of the people of North Da-
kota. /. D.

OREGON.
Great Gains for the POpulists.

In 1892, in Oregon, the Peoples Par
ty and Democrats combined on one of
the Peoples Party electors, for Gen.
Weaver, and cast 3S, S13 votes for him
against 35,002 for the Republican cleo
tors: and a good many democratic
votes were cast for the three other
People's Party electors. 1t is difficult
therefore to find what was the real
Populist strength. But in the two
congressional districts party lines
were more strongly drawn. and we
find the Populist vote to have been:
1st Dist, Rork, Populist.... 1913

peonle's Party candidate for governor
had 25.451. or q gain Of nearly 1900 in
t,,o ,,enrs:-AN INCREASE OF NEARLY
100 PER CENT!
There is nothing discouraging in
that.
One thing is very evident:-hareaft IT,
or the battle is to between the POM.

Birthday Party.


On Monday afternoon, Edna, the youngest
daughter of Rev. James I. Lassell, of Union,
town, celebrated her birthday, and invited
few of her friends to the parsonage. They
had jolly time, enjoying games, doll parties,
&c. After awhile the supper hour came on,
when the young ladies were invited to the
dining room to partake of first class supper,
Miss Nellie Weaver acting as Edna's best
lady. Before supper May Routson and Mat
tie Hiteshew gave Edna this beautiful and
highly appreciated greeting:
Esteemed little friend. Edna Burton Lassell
We're here at your bidding o. words cannot tell
How much we rejoice thatyou're happy and well.
We greet you this birthday. lady of seven;
We hope you may live till you're hundred and
And meet your old friends-us among them-in
heaven
After enjoying the good things before them
they arose from the table and Edna responded
to the greeting from her friends in the fol-
lowing rhyme:
ITO me, dear friends. your greeting was dainty
For yon may kind Dame Fortune crafty each
wish
