SAYS BRYAN Never had a Case.

NASHUA, N. II. ,Aug.1.-George
W. Holland, of Falls City, Neb.,
who is known all over that state as
one of its leading lawyers and bank
ers, has written long letter on the
political situation to W. II. Beasom
of this city. The letter is in an
swer to an inquiry as to how Bryan
was regarded in his own State.
Mr.. Holland, who regards Neb-
raska as doubtful because of the
silver question says of Bryan:
81 am personally acquainted with
Bryan. He is the most overrated
man in the State. lie never had a
case in the District Court. There
are hundreds Of boys in the State
who are better lawyers than he.
His sole reputation has been his
mouth. lie is not an orator. He
goes before a crowd of debtors and
raDts about capital, etc. lie ex-
cites their prejudices and anlmosi-
ties. He is smooth Of tongue and a
handsome man, but when he comes
down to oratory he is not in it. We
have dozen men in Nebraska who
would drive him off the platform
such men as Thurston, Henderson,
Gown, Lumberson, Frll, etc.
but we don't underestimate
him. He has a faculty of remem-
boring names and fads which is al
most wonderful. He can 60 all
over this district and meet and call
almost every man by name. But
we know him, and I'll bet 500 he
don't carry the First Congressional
district (his own,) and that he Will
be beaten in his own ward in Lin
coin"

Alexander P. Hull, of Atlanta, is a
strong 16 to / man. lie does not
believe in halfway measures. The
free coinage of silver idea is too tame
for him. He is willing to see the
silverites and to go them 100 points
better. Here are his declaration,
proposition and argument:

A Few More Creditors.

New York Tribune Apart
from the Irregular line life insur-
ance companies, and their enor-
nous volume Of business, there are
many Others conducted on the Gas
sessment'' plan also enjoying much
patronage. These vary greatly in
size and character. Some
have only a few hundred and
some scores of thousands of men,
bers. Some are restricted in mem
bership to certain trades or profess
sions, while others do a general
business. They are found in all
parts of the country, and one or
another Of them has patrons in
every community.
According to the latest statistics
at hand there are 123 of these or
CARNATIONS in active existence.
They have an aggregate member
ship or patronage, Of Sr6,0S0.
The total volume of insurance in
force is 81, GOA, 10Y, 500. The aver
age amount of insurance is there
fore a little less than $1,000 While
there are in this great host Of men
of all walks Of life, both rich and
poor, the great najority are unques-
tionably of moderate means, to
whom this amount of insurance
is of much Importance. 1t repre-
sents what they have secured by
industry and economy ''for rainy
day. or to be their legacy to their
widows and orphans.
This army of SIG, $50 men con-
stitutes what the Chicago Conven-
ton rallied at as a ''creditor class"
Each one of those men is a creditor
to the extent Of his few hundreds
of thousands of dollars of insurance
The Indebtedness due to him has
been contracted in 1O0-cent dollars.
Is he, or are mis- heirs, to collect it III
100-cent or in 53-cent dollars?
That is the question to be decided
next November's election. The
success of Mckinley and his policy
will mean that this insurance is to
be paid as the assessments have
been paid, in 100-cent dollars. The
success of Bryan and his policy
will mean that it is to be paid in
53-cent dollars.
What dothese SIG, $50 men-this
"creditor class" -think about it?
Do they want their heirs to get the
$4,000 each, for which they have
been paying or only $500? There
are many Of chem in Nebraska; will
they vote for Bryan and 53-cent
dollar? There are many in Geor-
gia: will they follow sHoke Smith
into the reputation camp? There
are thousands in Iowa, a single
company having 37,199 members
and S73, 398,000 insurance; will
they listen to "Uncle Hod' Boies'
plea for AZ per cent.scallng down
of what is due to them? There
are many in Altgeld's State, one
company having A. members
and $434,500 insurance; in George
Fred. Williams State, one having
81; $40 members and $112, SOS, $50
insurance and In Robert Il. Patti
sor's State where one has $3.50
and sos, 1868, 343 insurance. Win
they follow the counsel of these
leaders, and vote for free silver and
for robbery of their families?

nANNA,s NOODLE.

,rtro,,cb mir correspondents in various
sections OF the state we have heard
that there IS complaint among the ne
aroes that they have not seen any OF
Happa's Doodle, and that as a conse-
ouence some Of the ever-faithful seem
dlsposed TO 90 back on their record Tor
adbcring to the G. O. j. We put very
little credonce ia reports OF negro luke
warmness or disanection towards RepuD-
lcanlsm. At any rate, the Democrats
have nothing to lose by always counting
the negro IN The Republican column, ana
calculating that he viii vote his fuli
strength. The negroes can be quickly
ORGANIZED by their leaders They are
easily marshaIled on short notice, and
as they are OF n secredve nature, espe-
cially so far as politics are concerned
there is no telling how far the still-hunt
has been carried with them.
Nev rtheless. # IS quite certain that
there is some mystery about the dis
trlbution Of Hanna's corruption fund IN
many quarters. and it may be that the
Suffolk Herald affords the key TO that
mystery. That paper says It IS re-
norted that the Republicans desire 10
get the names Of election officers I'm Vir-
gln,a in order 10 test them with 'argu-
ments' from Hanua's corruption fund
s2.Co0 Of which, it is said, has been
received by some Of the faithful in Nanse-
mond county for the purpose of placing
II where It will do the most good"
Here Is a pretty piece Of business for
tba sanctifed. super-honest combination
10 he engaged in. While the organs Of
that combination are bowling for al
legged honest money and pure elections.
and bewailing the moral degeneracy OF
all who do not bow down and worship
at the single. gold-standard altar, their
en1issaries are seeking a way TO corrupt
election officers. Was there ever more
Jamnable illustration OF arrant hypoc-
risv? We concur with the Herald IN
believing that our election officers Will
resent this insult. We are confident that
they will spurn with Indignation all at
tennis 10 bribe them, and cause them to
violate their cath OF Office. Yet, We
would say that. II any election officers
there are who shall he found open 70
Hanna's arguments woe be unto them.
Their sins will ind them out; and, even
should they escape the vengeance Of the
law. they will be regarded for the rest
Of their lives as pariahs IN their respec-
tive communities.

In their desperation. the Republicans
have at last conf ssed their dupiicity In re-
spect Of the force bill. the confession
coming IN the form of a threat against
the South for espousing the cause Of
Bryan and Sewal IT viii be remembered
that early in the campaigp every warning
the southern people uttered touching
the danger OF allowing the South-haters
10 get into power again was met by
the Republican and Bolter organs ana
leaders with the assurance" that the
day Of socuonalism and force bills had
passed; and that upon nothing did these
organs and leaders ring the changes moro
than upon McKinley's honeyed delivsrance
on this question. Even the Richmond
Times, despite its experience with the
marty OF "atrocious doctrines" and
"bayonet rule and negro domination
expressed the belief that the force bill
was defunct. and Joined in the soft, Sc
ductive chorus with which fits northern
Republican and Bolter allies sought 10
hull 70 sleep southern incredulity as to
the honesty Of our ancient enemies IN
holding out the hand Of reconciliation.
The DISPATCH never put the slightest
faith IN the protestatlons Of any OF the
Republican and Bolter organs and lead
ers that the Republican party had ex-
perienced change Of heart towards the
South. We always regarded these over
lures as case Of gift-bearing Greeks
and this view has been fully justified.
Now the scream OF the vulture has
drowned the COO OF the dove, and the
wolf has thrown of his sleeps clothing.
In its blind fury at failure 10 caiole the
South into being untrue 10 herself, the
unholy combination gives the lie to all
its previous assertions that sectionalism
and force-bill legislation are dead, and
boldly essays to bulldoze the South into
bowling her neck TO the yoke OF Repub-
licanism. kissing the hand that smote
her. and csressing the hyena that so
long preyed upon her vitals. In It's issue
Of Friday the New York Times which
represents the venom and the purposes
of both the Republicans and the northern
Boilers. says:
Those southern Democrats who imagine
that the maintenance Of the soltdity OF
the South would be a safeguard against

mind OF such calamity as the election

THE FARMERS.

no class was ever more Vilihcd than
the farmer class has been during this
campaicn by the general run Of Ropubli-
can and Bolter organs and leaders. a
better idea Of the extent TO which this
viIncation has been carried is nowhere
afforded than in a defence Of the farm
ers. which appears in the Springfield Re
publican. an Independent god paper.
The Republican, after declaring that ut
is a very serious indictment which our
eold-standard friends and allies are
bringing against their own flesh and
blood" adds:
"He Ohe American farmer has always
breqthed the air Of liberty; he has ever
been POLITICAL freeman he has been
taught the lesson OF revolt against cp-
pressors in every school history; his fa-
Their and grandfather have been poliu-
clans before him, and political agitation
has TO him ever been the solution or po-
Htical social. and economic problems.
Hitherto We have been proud Of the yeo-
many Of America, because they were so
free. so strong so ambitious. so rest
less If you viii Are we suddenly TO
change this view. because the American
farmer is alleged TO support the doctrine
of the free coinage Of silver; TO call him
shlftless. debt-shirker. mercurial?'

trustworthy class OF society. The Amer
lean farmer is honest, If he does not
believe in the gold standard; he IS sincere,
even If he votes for Bryan. The future
of the country rests with him, and it
could never L. in safer hands"
Every word the Republican says in
defence Of the farmers Is true; and in
the truths the Republican utters we find

the farmers are almost solidly arrayed
against the Republicans and their bolt
