liquor was made or sold, or that he is
what Is termed a drinking man, is as
false and malicious a statement as
any one could possibly make. There

absolutely false In each and every par.
ticular. In the city OF Hastings
where Mr.. DIETRICH has been in bust.
ness and resided for many years. he
Is recognized as an exemplary citizen.
temperate, industrious and a liberal
giyer to the churches and to charity.
Since this question has been raised
1t may be appropriate to give the good
temperance people some inside history
concerning Governor Poynter aud tn.
liquor element. The statements here
In made a be easily verified. Here
they are:

Farnam and Douglas, In this city, and
owns and controls upwards of 30 sa-
looms In different towns in the state.
He sells whisky all over Nebraska,
as much III not more than any other
liquor dealer in the state. Until about
a year ago he was connected with one
Jack Norton, alias John Robenstein, In
the saloon business in the south half
OF the building occupied by his whole
sale liquer house. Norton is a des-
perate character and his photograph Is
In the rogue's gallery In the Harrison
street police station at Chicago. The
resort run by Noise and Norton was
n veritable dive. Noise stood In with
the p.elice commission at that time
and blackmail was levied on dives,
gamblers, thugs and thieves. These
desperate characters made NortoA's
saloon their headquarters and the "H.
censed" thieves and thugs met there
and divided up the plumber. The place
became such n resort for bad cbarac.
tiers that the authorities finally had to
close 1t. During a city campaign
which occurred about that time there
was a falling out between Noise and
some of his 'heelers' and the result
was that a public circular was issued
In which Noise was openly charged
with being a boodler and the names
or gamblers were given, together with
the amount of money they had to pay
each week for the privilege Of break.
Ing the law. 1t was even charged that
Norton made a deal or demanded STa

pockets for the privilege of robblng
the people on street cars during the
exposition, he to stop the police from
arpesting them. This is the Noise
who is colonel on Governor Poynter's

Omaha, Oct. 15.-In so-called TEN.
perance districts in the state ana
among temperance people some OF
Governor Poynter's friends are trying
to make votes for him by telling false
hoods about Charles II. Dietrich, the
Republican candidate for governor.
When they are talking to these people
they tell stories about Dietrich being
q saloon man, part owner OF a brew
cry and of making Il saloon cam.
paign." When they speak of Mr..
Dietrich to the saloon element they
tell them that he Is n rank temperance
man and Is In favor of prohibition.
There are 30 different places In the
city OF Omaha where the minions of
Governor Poynter have been and rep.
resented that Charles III. Dietrich
was not alone n temperance man, but
q prohibitlonlst. They have gone into
many saloons OF this city and cam.
paigned against Dietrich on the
ground that he is II temperance man.
In other communities, among church
and temperance people, they have
taken just the opposite tact and cir
culated reports that Dietrich is part
owner of a brewery and is in league
with the saloon element.
Democrats and Populists, some of
them holding office, are going over the
state In the temperance districts In
the guise Of temperance advocates at
lacking his record and spreading vic
ious falsehoods about him. II is
known that one Of the state bank ex.
aniners has devoted a great deal of
his time to this class of work the last
Few months. He has kept his iden.
dty covered up and has been instru-
mental, under the pretense of working
for the good Of the temperance cause,

Dietrich and In misleading by false

secret conference. The money was
paid and the police commission was
appointed, but the whole deal was so
fraudulent and unlawful that the SUI

Any I'M who disbelieves these charges
has only to consult the dockets of the

the commission was appointed and
Knocked out, and there are any number
