who recently assembled to hold a con-
yention in the name of the democracy
of this state, and pretended to selece
delegates to the democratic national
convention, because they have for
wears repudiated the national dem
ocratic party and its platforms; they
nave insisted on the withdrawal OK
democratic tickets in the interest OF the
populist party; they have refused to
Join in the nomination of democrats
for office, but instead have endorses
and supported populist candidates, VINO
accept one of the teachings of democ-
racy; they have sought and held once
by appointment from a popuilst gov
ernor as a reward for treachery to the
democrats; they nave been ~repudlateo
by a two-thirds vote of the democrats
of the state; they have, by public ut
terance, in their recent convention, de-
cIared that if the national democratlc
convention refused to adopt tnel- pc
culiar notions, they will not ABIDE oy
its Judgment, and have sought to pave
the way for their entrance to the poPu-
list national convention in 81. Louis
by the adoption of the most extreme OF
the many hair-brained theories OF that
party.
We believe in the government found
ed by the fathers Of this republic, and
in the constitution, which, for more
than a century has been the admlra-
ton of the civilized world; and we re-
pudiate the theories of populists and
s~o-called democrats, allied with popu-
lists, who would destroy hat constitu-
ton for the socialistic experiment of
the initiative and referendum
We deprecate and denounce the in
flammatory language used by Il certain
class of politicians and public speakers
in recent days in their efforts to stir
I'D strife and array one section of the
country against another, and one class
of people against the other. We live
under one constitution and one flag,
and we are, and of right should be, one
people.
The democracy of Nebraska declares
that it recognizes in governmental,
commercial and financial affairs no
east, no west, no north. no south; that
the .interdependence of the states or
dams the closest identity of interests
without regard to section or locality,
and that all teachings to the contrary,
by whomsoever disseminated, are false
and pernicious.
We believe that every American citi-
zen, duly qualified, has the right to
vote and hold office regardless of his
religious belief or affiliations, and we
condemn social organizations based up
on a different theory as nimical to our
froa institutions

E. N. Morrill's way for governor if
the latter would pay him So, 500 cash
for the expense of his campaign for
governor in 1892, Smith telegraphs the
following denial:
$ ''MCPHERsoN, May MIR. Leland's
1tatement is a willful and malicious

under any circumstances, offered to
stay out Of the campaign against Nor

proposition for me. In conclusion.
want to %reiterate and emphasize that
Mr.. Leland lies and knows he lies.
A. w. SMITH"
Governor Morrill,, when asked about
Leland's statement, said: Il cannot
now recall hat Mr.. Leland came to
me with such a proposition from Mr..
Smith either during the Newton en-
campment, Or afterward. l have no
doubt, however, that Mr.. Leland
submitted the proposition to me
as he says. He is a truthful
man and not given to e~xtravagant
talk, and what he says may be
depended upon. I may have gotten
his statement to me confused with a
proposition submitted to me directly
by one of Mr.. Smiths friends. 1t Is
not necessary to disclose the name OF
this friend. 1t is enough to say that
he came to my room in the Depot hotel
at Newton saying that he was author
lied to make the proposition that if
would pay Smiths campaign expenses
of 1897, amounting to So, SOC, Smith
would get out of my way and support
me for the nomination for Governor.
The proposition struck me as absurd.
At that time 1 did not think Smith
was in it. l believed my nomination
was assured. Therefore l gave the
proposition no thought, and it passed
out of my mind"

cAMERoNs succEssoR.

There is a great deal of specializing as to
who will be the successor of Senator Cameron
when that gentleman's term expires and
many prominent Republicans are mentioned
for the place; in fact, Congressman Robinson,
of Delaware county, and John Wauamaker
of Philadelphia, are already ON the hunt for
votes and have succeeded in bagging few.
1t is rather early yet to make any definite
calculations of the strength of either, but we
are Of the opinion that when the contest is
ON in earnest the Hon. Boies Penrose will be
found in the race and, if we are not greatly
mistaken, will be the man selected. His
conspicuous services in the Legislature at
Harrisburg have shown him to be man Of
ability, strong convictions and untiring
energy in the prosecution Of what he deems
to be for the best interests of his party and
state
This trait was brought out very strongly in
his advocacy of the investigation of the
working of the Bullitt bill in Philadelphia
occasioued by the fragrant abuse of authority
by the Combine which has thriyen SO well il
Philadelphia in the past for years as to rem
der them arrogant and dictatorial in matters
relating to the state at large.
Mr.. Penrose was the choice of the mass o
the Republicans of Philadelphia for Mayor
of the city, but the power q, the Combin,
WAS such that he was overthrown at the las
moment and the will of the people thwarted
As the power of the Combine has beer
greatly weakened, and there is not mucl
danger Of their corrupting influence per
meating the body polite beyond their owl
baiiwick, the man who has doue so much I,
accomplish this is one who deserves well o.
