good positions for the entire family 60 IA
as known and is holding a few more fo
futurity stakes, as It were.
Falls City Journal (repO: The people o
this state are not ready to place a man lik,
Ex-Governor Holcomb, who '~connived at tn,
recount fraud, in such a responsible plac,
as supreme Judge. The judiciary canno.
be kept pure by %electing conniving politl,
cal lawyers to such responsible positions.
Springfield Monitor (dem.): Judge Scott
who has belonged to every political party
in the state, comes out in a long article
in the Sunday World Herald announcing
himself as an Independent candidate for dis.
trict judge. The Monitor cannot see for 6
minute what further earthly use the people
of Sarpy county can have for Scott, unles:
it would be to have him reelected so that
he could finish up the spring term of court
next spring that he has been monkeyine
along with all summer Scott should take
a rest.
O'Neill Independent (pop0: We regard
the calling of the congressional convention
at Lexington by Chairman Rod Smith as
but the result of a scheme inaugurated and
inspired by Judge Neville. the object being
to get the convention so far in his corner
Of the district as to leave the north part
A'AS' y IA INA upuNs htA
ingon is nearly 200 miles from O'Neill and
nearly 400 miles has to be travelled to get
there by rail. The counties north and west
of here are yet in a worse Ak. We denounce
such a transaction as unworthy and dishon-
est-that act alone should defeat Neville in
his abducted convention. The north part
or the district will be there-just remem-
Der that, Mr.. Neville-but they will be
there for a man whose personal honor and
political integrity has never yet been con-
taminated by star chamber intrigues-they
will be there for General Patrick H.. Barry,
the one-armed veteran Of Greeley county.
Papillion Times (dem.): The popocratic
skies are growing brighter with the days.
The democratic newspapers have been
speaking in no uncertain terms regarding
the hoggish disposition of the pops, and as
a result the fair and sensible element in
pop circles Is frankly admitting now that
the democrats have been shabbily treated
in the past. and assurances are now freely
given for better treatment in future. The
little family scrap which the pops and
democrats have been having will bear good
fruit. 1t has taught discouraged democrats
to look u2 and have hope. 1t has taught
porcine poos that the democratic mule has
Still a few kicks left in him. 1t will teach
republicans that democrats and pops can
scrap artistically in anteconvention days
and fight imperialists tremendously on cleo
ton day. On with the fight, and may no
imperialist draw consolation from the bat
tlefield, and may no pop or democrat who
acts like a republican get a place on any
county or state fusion ticket.
Plattsmouth Journal (dem.): The Lincoln
Independent, the leading organ of Auditor
Cornell and the balance of the gang OF
railroad pops with which he trains and
which has done everything possible to dis
credit the reform movement in this state,
seenfs Undermined to thwart fusion at any
cost. Last weeks issue of the hold-up
gangs organ says: The coterie of demo-
Gratis that Holcomb appointed to office are
now after the ex-governor's scalp. Serves
him right. He should have given the offices
to the populists instead of to that crowd,
but he never would take the advice OF this
writer" If there is anything that would
cause democrats to pull out and go it alone,
regardless Of success or failure, it is such
insulting stuff as the above. Can it be that
Cornell and his outfit, realizing that they
can never again fool the allied forces into
giving them a pull at the public teat, have
tied up with the Hanna party, md are
endeavoring to deliver the state into repub-
lican hands? 1t would certainly seem so,
for Cornells every act rs something which
would tend to disgust honest people, and
the pseudo-pop papers which have been sup
porting the gang never miss an opportunity
to insult and SANDER democrats. The indie
pendent and the ring for which it speaks
seem to realize that there is too much man
hood in the democratic party to allow the
latter to forsake principle for place, and are
apparently possessed OF the idea that demo-
Gratis can be depended upon to forever vote
populists into office, receiving as a reward
nothing but sneers and insults. Maybe this
is so, and maybe it isn't.
Crawford Bulletin 0pop.): The northwest
ern portion of the Sixth congressional dis
trict of Nebraska is entitled to the con-
gressional nomination. The laboring men of
the Sixth congressional district of Nebraska
are entitled to the representative of this
district at Washington. The populists of
this district are entitled to the candidate
as the democrats are entitled to the candi-
date in districts where there are more dem
ocrats than populists. Upon a few moments
reflection and outside of corrupt corporation
or Hanna influence the above will be con-
ceded and therefore we mention Hon. H.
G. Stewart as the proper candidate to nomi-
nate for congress by the fusion forces at
Lexington on August IS. He resides in

over the state, having served in the state
senate and ably defended the interests of
the people. He is a laboring man, as every
man can testify who ever grasped his honest
toll hardened hand. He is a populist and
knows why and is able, in a straightfor-
ward manner, to tell the truth about his
politics. Objections may be offered on &C
count of his being a radical populist, but
it must be remembered that there are thou
sands of radical populists in this congress
sional district If there are any in the United
States-and we know there are. We are
aware OF the fact that he will call a spade
a spade and not attempt to tickle the dem
ocrats by stating that his father was a dem
ocrat and would be voting for Jackson to-
day If he were alive. No, he Is a populist
and the kind of populist who win arouse
the necessary enthusiasm among the popu-
lists and farmers in every school district,
but we venture to say that not a single
member of the liberal or new" democracy
will object to the political doctrine he ad-
~yocates.
