rHg SITUATION N NEBRASKA.

THg SITUATION N SERRAsKA. !
The Non .Confor mist, one OF the
leading Peoples party papers In Ne /
braska, has n leading editorial
urging CO operation hstween the
Democrats and popuiists in thAt
State. The editor. Mr.. Vincent. one
Of the fou ndsrs of the Peoples Par
ty. says:
1T il true the nat onsl ticket Is
not TO our liking. Is ~ ones .dei
and unfair, bu, the Democrats la
Nebraska have done what they
could 10 even the score by giving
as six places. including governor
aud accepting only one for them
| selves. It Is conceded by Ali in
formed persons that the democrats
| would have been gwen two places
il Popuiists had been properly
recog G lied at Kansas City. The
| Nopconformist main taiss il Is lot
| right for Popu.s SITS 10 charge the
unfatrness on the natl onal ticket TO
Nebraska D. mocrats aud tor tina
reason refuse u Cooperate with
them Ia State affairs"
The editor concludes with an ap
peal to both parties to support that
ECO operation TO maintain coed
government in Nebraska"
; The Nonconiormist should moi
lose sight Of the fact that the PEG
pies party is national party, ant
that the situation confronting it.i'
q national situation and not a Stat'
one. The Nonconformist and thu
9 Popullsss of Nebraska should JOLT
with the Popuiists of the who'll
country in demanding that Pee
I pies party nominee to be put In tn
$ place of Mr.. Towne, regardless o
n what kind of cooperation ther
may be or may not be in the sever
:. al States on State tickets.
u. The Peoples party will not b
l. able to get the same representatio
o ION cooperative state ticket i
g. another State in the Union as on
j. friends have gotten in Nebrasks
Indeed, in majority Of the State
they will not &c. any at all. Their
y fore, there should be recognition {
d the Peoples party on the nations
is ticket, whether there is any in IL
D. State or not.
O. The Nonconformist and our Pc
plies party friends in Nebrasl
should remember that the Pop
lists in a State where they mum 0,
r. only twenty five thousand or fiji
or thousand feel the same way abO
be deserving and demanding recogu
," ton as to men and as to principl
~ that they feel In Nebraska. If Il
90 Populists Of Nebraska do not fe
20 satisfied with the situation ev
~, where they have every State offic
n including Governor, except, we /
w. lieve, one minor office, how mu
~ the Populists feel in the Stat
30 where they have no cooperation
at anything and are asked to su
+or port straight Democrat C electoI
ticket composed ofsome of the mt
On partisan and offensive Clevela
ia Democratic politicians in their r.
psctive States.
Our Nebraska friends would l
" be acting right by their Popul
brethren in other States to SURF,
'AA der their national ticket for ev
INC all Of the State offices.

,or The Democrats made a fright

mo they nominate d Stevenson, but !
Towne made a greater one when

The way to have mitigated
Democratic blunder as much
possible was for Mr.. Towne to b.

deliberate judgment and mand;
