AFrER SEYA ron ALLEN'S SHot

tF iEN NfNi TUX IiitN = NIfiDfIN,
In its Sunday issue the World Herald
projects William Jennings Bryan into
the contest for senatorial honors with
the following contribution under the
significant heading, "In Good Time"
MILTON, Ia, Nov. 6-To he Editor OF the
World-Herald: England seems to have gained
this battle. Let America win the next.
The right thing for Nebraska to do at the
earliest practicable time, is to send william
jennings Bryan to the United States senate,
where he can battle for the plain people
until they can retrieve lost ground. In the
struggle between money and manhood the
money will not always win. / fear that
Chairman Jones and Mr.. Bryan have CON
coded defeat too soon and that the full
official returns may change the situation but
II Bryan be defeated for president, then, at
all events, let Nebraska send her gallant
son to the senate Of the United States.
DANIEL B. TuRNEY.
The presidential futures for 1900 do
not seem to appear as promising for
"Ncbraska'S gallant son" as the options
In the senatorial race of 1890. Mr..
Bryan'S Iowa admircr. however, fails
TO Intimate whether Mr.. Bryan is to be
the candidate of the democrats or of the
populists.
In the impending senatorial snipc hunt
the pOpuliSts Of Nebraska are not likely
TO he content with holding the bag, as
they We're in the Tom Watson liasco.
To begin with, they have simon
pure populiSt senator from Nebraska
now in William V. Allen and Senator
Allen will doubtless prefer to be his
own successor. Should Mr.. Allen decide
to waive his claim to endorsement there
are several other eminent Nebraska
pOpuliStS who would he in line of pro-
motion as party leaders ahead of Mr..
Bryan.
In any event, Mr.. Bryan's advent into
the list of senatorial entries for 1890
viii be watched with much interest and
will develop the relationship between the
clements to the fusion agreement. If
the populists have really been swallowed
up by the democrats Mr.. Bryan will
doubtless gather unto himself all the
honors and cmolumentS which the en-
battlcd populist farmers can brstow. IT,
however, the pOpulistS who have always
denounced the democrats equally with
the republicans intend 10 maintain their
own party organization they will
scarcely be willing to make Mr.. Bryan

The removals that have been made in

that the organs of that cause will have
some severe comments To make on the

that they were not dismissed simply for
their advocacy of free silver. but for
gross violations of the propricticS \

questioned that such employees deserved
dismissal. While every man in the

To the policy of the administration and
