People win Sustain Honest Government
| aud Honest Money.
Tho following IL an extract from n
letter received yesterday by n citizen
Of Wheeling from prominent citizen
OF Lincoln. Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's
home town:
DEAR SlR:-YOu ask what about
Nebraska. have sent you to-day n
statement by Walter Wcllman. which
gives tho situation as clearly as lcOuld.
| and which ! believe 10 be an unbiased
| statement OF the facts M they exist to-
day. Never In the history OF our coun-
try have people made Il more heroic
| tight than the Republicans OF Sebras-
ka are making to-day. You know
something OF the hnrIshIps We have
passed through. and how many OF our
| citizens are loaded down with noun
tain OF debts. and how cntIClng thing
II IL TO pay them off ut MY cents on
the dollar. But, thank God, there arc
honest men enough left In our state
in my opinion. Ia say to the world that
we borrowed honest dollars, and will
pny our debts in the same kind OF coin.
even II 1t takes us the rest OF our life
time to do 1t.
In regard to how Mr.. Bryan Is
thought Of by the people who know
him best. You know | am his near
nclghbOr. The ward OF the city In
which he lives will give to William
Mckinley four hundred majority: the
entire city l think will give him from
$500 10 1000. and the county In the
neighbOrhood OF $500. These figures are
not mere guess work. but the result
OF two separate, and distinct polls-by
entirely different persons.
In Mr.. Bryan's own ward we have n
ladies' Mckinley club. uniformed, Of
over 300. and want to say here that
the ladies OF this state are doing more
good work than the men could possibly
accomplish. They can't vote. but their
husbands. brothers and lovers can. and
tlray are seeing to II strictly that they
Vote 10 uphold the courts and the honor
OF our country. They are the ones that
have felt the hardships through which
We have passed the keenest, and have
faith enough In the women OF our land
20 know that their Judgment and their
influence Will be felt for the good.
Not newspaper In our city sup
ports Mr.. Bryan-a small sheet, not
worthy the name OF a newspaper start
ed short time since. IS all that he has
Ut home. Scarcely minister OF the
gospel In this city Of churches, and
colleges will vote for him. You will
probably wonder where his supporters
are. They are the Cranks OF all parties,
banded together In what they imagine
is warfare against the rich. They
have arrayed the masses against the
classes and one section OF our country
against the other. The same spirit that
existed In 1861 is being aroused by
speakers from the stumps They are
trying by every means in their power
to arouse the labOrer against his en-
ployer. and You can imagine the class
OF followers that such doctrine would
enlist But our Great Fntkar, who
notices even the fall OF sparrow, will
certainly not sec our blcst republic,
that has cost so much 10 build and pre-
serve, turned over 10 the Altgelds and
Tillmans of our land. So. with an
abiding faith that He will guide US
safely through this time OF peril TO our
nation. as he has in the past, and a
confidence In the good Judgment and
honest intentions OF the people OF our
state. when thoroughly aroused, we
confidently expect to see drouth- ridden
Nebraska wheel proudly into line with
the rest OF the Intelligent states of our
great country, and cast her electoral
votes IN favor OF honest government,
and honest money. II we can do that
we Will all go TO work with n will to
pay what We owe II We are only given
chance to earn II.
Watch out for our state November 2
