POINTS In POLITICS

COURIER, there was a consideration OF
the personal aspects OF the local cam
paigu. 1t may be well to consider some
OF the political issues involved. IL an
impartial review OF the personnel OF the
various tickets offered to the voters OF
the county is 10 the advantage Of the
republican candidates, then an investi-
CATION OF the general issues OF the cam
paign is likely to add material strength
to the republican cause.
Primarily, the chief question at issue
in the county campaign is, Shall the re-
publican party, naturally and logically
in the majority, be successful in carry
ing all OF the Offices. or shall one or two
sops be throSn to the populist Ger
berus? Republicanism vs.. Populism.
Republication is live; the republican
party was never so much alive as at the
present time; it never meant more to
the people Of the country than il does
now; it never deserved SO much at the
hands OF the people as it does now. The
republican party, as has been many
times admitted in these columns, has
made mistakes of omission and com
mission. 1t has sometimes advanced
men who should have been left on the
rear bench OF obscurity. 1t has some
times been chargeable with a neglect Of
the public interests for the sake of pri-
vate advantage No party that ever
existed since the tabled days Of Homer
was guiltless Of these weaknesses. But,
and 1 am speaking now Of the republi-
can party in this state and this county,
has there been another party that has
anything like its record OF achievement?
Is there any other party that has elected
SO many good men to Office, and given
such satisfactory administration and
legislation? or the many thousands of
republicans who have been elevated to
positions Of responsibility and trust in
this state how many have been a credit
to themselves, the party and the state,
and how few have been proven recreant?
The answer to this query is certifi-
cate If good character for the republi-
can party. The men who have made
Nebraska what it is, have been. to a very
great extent, republicans. The men
who organized the state, made the laws
and carried on the government have
been. with few exceptions, republicans.
And the result is proud commentary
on the party.
Now, what Of populism? Let us see
what claim the populists have on the
consideration and votes of the people OF
this state.
Populism is plague. 1t came with
out summons, blasted without rea-
son. destroyed relentlessly, and now re-
cedes as it came. Back Of the populist
party as We know it in this state, there
is not now, nor never was, single sensi-
bic, patriotic idea. 1t did not spring
into existence to meet an emergency or
save state. 1t has never stood for
principle. The populist party has not
in six years given one valid excuse for
its existence. 1t has given hundred
reasons why it should not live. The
party grew out Of a dissatisfaction-a
dissatisfaction not with the manner IN
which the state was being governed.
but with the inability of the republican
party to provide places for all claimants

ever been defamation and di.grace.

Perhaps the most versatile and infiu
entail fraud who ever piled his trade in
Nebraska is Charles II. Van Wycke. He
is one OF the men who are responsible
for the popuiist party in this state. He
advocated new party because he had
exhausted the Office giving resources OF
the republican party, with an appetite
remaining that beloved for more"
One Of the worst things that can be
said about the populist party is that
Van Wycke helped form it. This man
first showed US here in Nebraska what
real demagogy is. There have been
many later demonstrations. About eight
years ago there was a man in little
town in Gage county whoee sole occupa-
ton was the defamation Of Nebraska.
This man lied and lied so often and SO
grstuitously that he finally secured for
himself certain notoriety. He helped
organize the new party and his lying
furnished him livelihood for several
years in the new organization. This
man is Jay Burrows and he now lives in
Lincoln. 1t is perhaps but just to him
to say that he has OF late weaned him
self Of the habit OF Misrepresentation.
Some years ago there was steamboat
engineer on the Mississippi river. The
engineer moved to Nebraska and be-
came a member Of the republican party
He settled in Seward. and was elected
justice OF the peace. Then he was elect
ed attorney general. He held Office
three terms. He wasn't a very good at
torney general, and when he wanted
still another term the republican party
said nay. Then William Leese, for that
is his name carried his appetite for Of
fee over to the new party. He was one
Of its chief organizers. As a dema-
gogue he is only second to Van Wycke.
These three were the main Instruments
Of the organization Of the populist
party.
What has the populist party accom-
plished? 1t has succeeded in putting a
number Of men in Office, and with few
exceptions, these men have brought rid
icule and disgrace upon themselves and
the state. Three years ago lot OF pop
ulists got into the Legislature. They
controlled that body. The session that
year was the most scandalous the state
has ever known. The public money
was scattered to the four winds. There
was profigacy and shameless fraud.
There was gross Incompetence and
downright dishonesty. There was dis
regard for the law, a defiance on the
constitution. 1t was at this session that
armed troops patrolled the state house
corridors, when the capitol was in
state Of siege for week. c. ID. Schra-
der, populist leader. publicly damned
the constitution. Another member ac-
copied bride and fled from the state.
Many others stole supplies from the
state relief commission. Sam Elder, in
the chair Of the speaker Of the house Of
representatives, drew the ridicule of the
entire country. Men like Newberry
made spectacles Of themselves daily.
The state was maligned and plundered
