THE Eat Is GRI[EG.

The New York World of September
10, says Mark Hanna admits that it
will take much money to educate the
people sufficiently to insure the elec-
ton of his candidate and the fat fry
ing is now in full blast. The gigantic
combines and trusts, all have
been benefited in the past hy the sys-
tenn represented by Mckinley and
hope for future benefits, and already
the assessment necessary has been de-
cided upon. The trusts are expected
to contribute at least $FO,000,000 to-
wards the election of Mckinley and as
the total capitalization of the various
trusts doing business in defiance of
law is about 81, SOC 900 900 the enor-
NOUS sum of $10,OOOyoo0 can be raised
without a very heavy assessment.
About wo-thirds of one per cent is all
that will be necessary.
The dressed beef and provision trust
will be the largest contributor, its
capitalization being 100000 The
assessment for this gigantic corpora
ton is therefore $665,000. The an
thraci5e coal combine will be touched
up for $565,000. The skewer trust is
the smallest Of the lot, and it needs to
contribute only $500. When the
price of dressed beef and provisions
goes up you may know that the people
are paying part Of McKinley's cam
paign expenses, and the next time a
dollar is added to the price of a ton of
coal you will know that the coal trust
has paid it's assessments.
Ten million dollars is an enormous
Isum, and it will not all be used for
legitimate purposes. Such a sum offers
many inducements for theft when it is
handled by men who do not have to
give an accounting for it. OF this
amount about 100000 will be used
to corrupt voters and $4,000, 900 will
be stolen. Architects are already
drawing plans for houses which will
be paid for out of this campaign fund.

From all over Cherry county news
comes that the people are falling IN
line for Bryan. Not alone in one or
two precincts is this the case, but in
all parts of the county. The DEMO
GRAFT hears that a BRYAN club is in
process Of formation at Brownlee, and
that several old-time republicans are
interested in the movement. At
Simeon the same story is told, and in
Kewanee republicans are getting in
the band wagon. Right here 10 much
progress is not being made, but that is
easily accounted for.

THE End

1t is calculated that at least 10000
democrats did not vote in Maine.
There are $1,000 democrats in the
state and only $4,000 voted. 1t Is
useless to deny that Bryan is wasting
time in the east. The central west
ern states IS where the battle is to be
fought. Illinois. Kentucky, Indiana,
Michigan and Iowa are the pivotal
states. New York will go for McKin-
ley and Bryan does not need the state
to Insure his election.

No fighting has been done in Cuba

. The railroads are going to do their
share for the Mckinley meeting at
Canton. We hear that the rate from
Chicago will be 100 cents. The chrome
in addition will be considered later.
Fourteen thousand are going from
Pittsburg. Kentucky will send a dele.
cation. Mark Hanna will show Mr..
Bryan that he can't have all the big
meetings.

THEY WANT 1T

THEY WANT 1T ALL~ +"
At the populist convention held at
Sparks last Saturday for the purpose
Of dominating a candidate for repre-
Sentative from the afty-second district,
they were visited by Robert Good, as a
democrat, who asked them to withhold
the nomination of a candidate until
after the democrats had held their con-
vention, with a view to securing the
endorsement OF the democratic nomi-
nee. This they refused to do, thus di-
rectly refusing to stand by their oft
asserted shibboleth of principle before
party" and indirectly challenging the
democratic party to nominate a candi-
date for the Office named. Evidently
the populists supposed iRo democrat
could be found. who would have the
temerity to run for Office on nothing
but the, streugth Of his democracy in
a district where hisTparty is in the MI
nority, and in a year when illusion"
seems to be the 'watchword of both
democrats and .popullsts. But they
reckoned without their host. -.
A short time ago THE DEMOCRAT
gave out as its sentiment: "When
fusion fuses we are willing to support
it, but when fusion merely mean OBJ
liberation of the party it is time to
kick" That is still the sentiment of
this paper. As the "fusion" stood up
to Saturday it was'all populism and NO
democracy, hencethe kick.
The democrats sof the state of Ne
braska,endorsed the entire state ticket
of the populists from governor down
to state superintendent.
The democrats of the sixth congress
sional district endorsed the pepulist
nominee for congress, w. L. Greene,
The .democrats'of the 18th senatorial
district by their silence practically en-
dorse Otto MUTT, populist, for senator.
The democrats of Cherry county en-
dorsed the populist nominee for county
attorney, d. III. Thurston.
The democrats of the second com
missioner district have as yettaken no
action looking toward the nomination
of a candidate for that Office.
The VALENTINE DEMOCRAT is the
only democratic newspaper in north
western Nebraska, yet the democrats
have given it no candidate to support.
Populists want "fusion" but all the
fusion candidates must be populists.
This paper protests that this is not
night. and democrats support it when
it makes the declaration. The nomi-
nation Of a fusien candidate for repre-
sentative would have completed the
fusien chain, but the popuIists refused
to forge the last link.
This is plain statement of the facts
in the case. Arguments and theories
must be based upon them, and 10 fair
minded person can say otherwise than
that the populists were wrong ia ask
- -z.-k- --l. -
thing. That party is supposed to be a
liberal party, yet a greater example of
greed and sel6shness vas never pre-
sented by the old parties. However,
in justice to the party at large, we can
but thiak that the action of the
delegates at Sparks does not represent
the views of the majority.

him that the proper order had been en-

THE FOUNTAIN MYSTERY.
Report at Las Cruces that Blood
stains Have Keen Found Where
Buck board Turned on on
the Plains.

The very latest from Las Cruces is a
report that blood stains have been found
in the trail near the place where Col.
Fountains buck board turned out on the
plains from the main wagon road upon
which he and his boy we're travelling
from Tularosa to their home in Las Cru
ces. If this is true it indicates that Col,
Fountain was killed at the place where
he was captured by the three horsemen
and that his body was taken on toward
the Sacramento mountains and was either
buried near the place where the aband-
oned buck board was found or in the vicin-
ity of the dead camp fire five miles fur
Their on in the foot hills. The latter sup
position seems most probable, as only
the horse Col. Fountain was leading was
released when the blackboard was left and
the other two we're taken on to the camp
and more secure hiding place for the
body might have been sought.
At the camp mentioned another Of Col.
Fountains horses was turned loose and
only one taken on into the mountains.
This fact, together with the circumstance
that the colonel's bedding was also taken
along, leads to the conclusion that the
boy was carried off alive by the three
kidnapers on horseback.
Little hope is entertained, however,
that the boys life was not afterward
taken. Professional stock thieves, capa-
BILE of KIDNAPPING and numbering Col.
Fountain because he possessed evidence
of their rascally deeds, would hardly
spare such a dangerous witness of their
last atrocious crime as the bright or 8.
year old boy would be.
The dreadful incident naturally con-
tinues to be the absorbing topic of con-
versation at Las Cruces and great deal
of suppressed excitement still prevails
there among all classes of people. Eff
forts to fathom the mystery have not been
relaxed.
Gov. Thornton is this morning in re-
ceipt of letter from Hon. George Curry
advising him that the people of Roswell
have posted a reward of $500 for the ap
prehension of the kidnapers of Col. Foun'
tain and son. Two hundred dollars Of
the amount have been deposited in banl
sub ect to the draft of the governor.

Remarkable Bowling by the Car

The Carroll Institute and the Washington

dark. The employees are dismissed about 8
O'Clock. so, In order TO avert accident, the
electrician was ordered 70 turn on the cleo

electrician were working about theflywheel
in the basement Of the building. where the
plant is located. Woods was obliged to get
inside the huge wheel for the purpose OF ex-
smining some mechanism, and was in this
posture when the lights were turned on and
the wheel began revolving. Woods real
ized his danger. and grasped the sides OF the
wheel with both hands, and also wound his
legs around it.
There were haIf-dOZen me in the vicinity
of the wheel at the time, and they stood ap-
palled while their fellow -emplOye went
around. At each revolution Woods was I'm
