Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 22.-In a four col =
umn newspaper communication ad-
dressed to the citizens of Nebraska,
Governor Holcomb defends himself from
charges OF corruption in connection with
the defalcation Of ex-Treasurer BARLEY,
and bitterly arraigns Republican lead
ers of the state whom he declares are
responsible for the slanderous stories
circulated against him. These stories
allege that the governor approved
the bond of ex-Treasurer BARLEY know
ing it to be faulty, and that he was
aware of Bartley's shortage long be-
fore IL was made public. Governor Hol-
comb declares that IL was incumbent
upon Governor Crounz. his predecessor,
to investigate the treasury condition
and approve the bond, but that he
shifted the responsibility to him CHol-
comb, and he was compelled to meet
the conditions which he found to exist
The governor then proceeds to dis
close the condition Of affairs at the
state house when he assumed office.
which he declares were honeycombed
with fraud and misrule. The entire
communication is a series OF sensation

ponents in connection with the state

his own actions. The article has its in
ception in the suit against Bartiey's
bondsmen now going on at Omaha.

Outlook In Ohio.

The Ohio papers say the Republican
stump speakers in that state are draw
ing large crowds This is good indica-
tion. Apparently more interest is taken
in this campaign than is usually shown
in canvasses occurring the year after a
presidential election. This is the case in
all the states which hold elections this
year. 1t means that the apathy which
generally hits the winning party Of a
presidential campaign in the election

President of the typographical Union
Speaks of the Late Henry George.

President OF the IyPOB Union
Speaks of the Late Henry George.
w. B. Prescott, president of the Inte.na-
tional Typographical Union, said of Mr..
George: HE was. in my estimation, one Of
the noblest-souled reformers of the present
generation, and in his death those who
trine of total depravity have lost tire
less worker and capable leader. AS Is usual
with pioneers in reform movements his
death will prove an impetus to the particu-
lar reform of which he was the foremost
apostle-the single tax. While few of those
known as singie-taxers accepted all the
ideas advanced in Progress and Poverty
his scheme of taxation, which, boiled down,
is absolute and logical free trade. Because
he failed to see any appreciable public SEN
timent created in America in favor of his
ideas it must not be thought his life was
barren Of achievements. Like Greeley and
many others who have achieved fame. he
began life in a printing Office under dis
couraging circumstances. lie was in turn,
printer. sailor and editor and publisher. He
was among the first il not the first to
agitate for the Australian ballot laws and
TO him is due some credit for the success
Gated IL with his pen and voice. The Amer
lean working classes loved him, not be-
cause they agreed with his ideas-for they
are enthusiastically inclined. and socialism Is
what George most abhorred-but because he
sympathized with the working people and
always fought for them when he conscien-
tiouSly could. He was one OF them. He was
a union printer and though it is many
years since he set type. he has always re-
tanned his connection--'jus to show where
stand on the question What q contrast
batween George and Dana in this respect.
