3. Upon his return to this city with
Mr.. Bryan's approval of the deal Mr..
Stone opened national headquarters
here and Mr.. Croker began to raise a
campaign fund and talk for Mr.. Bryan.
4. Mr.. Croker has promised to carry
New York for Mr.. Bryan. To do it he
has agreed to raise campaign fund of
S., 600, 900, and he has promised to give
800 900 in cash to the democratic ma
tional committee.
5. On his side Mr.. Croker is to receive
the control of all federal patronage in
New York City, and he has the promise
of the secretaryship of the navy for his
bosom friend, former Senator Murphy,
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's election.
6. The sole cause of Mr. Croker's re-
cent zeal for Mr.. Bryan's election is the
promise he has received of federal
patronage in case Of the latter's election
If man knew nothing of the facts in
the deal between Messrs. Croker and
Bryan he would nevertheless have little
difficulty in making up his mind abou,
the existence of such a deal from the
change that has come over the political
situation here in the last few weeks.

It is generally conceded that Richard
Croker is at the head Of one of the most
corrupt and obnoxious political organiza-
tions in the country and that Mr..
Bryan has entered into an alliance with
him is not doubted. The fusionists
would prefer that this be kept secret or
would deny it if possible. The New
York correspondent Of the Chicago
Times. Herald says he is liable to state
authoritatively and of his own knowl-
edge the following facts concerning this
bargain which Mr.. Stone, representing
Mr.. Bryan, made with Mr.. Croker:
/. The deal was first discussed in de.
tail between Mr.. Croker and William J.
Stone when the latter spent week OF
ten days in New York month ago.

terms to Mr.. BRYAN at q meeting in

Some there are who still argue that
the democratic panic of 1896 was
good times compared with the present.
If it were possible, without harming
their neighbors interests, this class of
citizens should be treated to revival OF
those prosperous times" The chances
are that they don't believe what they
say when they make such assertions but
are so partisanly hide-bound that they
blindly make them hoping they will be
believed by some and thus, influence a
few votes. There should be enough
hberal.minded voters, who are open to
conviction, able to tell black from white
and not be ashamed to own it, to bury
the pessimists out Of sight this fall.

There is much for thinking people to
learn about the trust proposition.
Everyone will admit that there are cor.

nected with them directly or indirectly,
while there are corporations SO utterly
selfish that they do more harm than
good. How to get at the one and not
injure the other is a knotty question
very perplexing to those who have given
it serious consideration. 1t will be i'm
possible to create law prohibiting all
combinations Of capital without intiu-
encing every partnership affair. 1t
will be impossible to prevent corpora
tions of one state from doing business
in another without injuring all manu-
featuring and wholesale interests and
such law would cause some railroad,
telegraph and other similar companies
to be dissolved into numerous small
companies that might prove most en-
barrassing to the legitimate conduct of
b ,siness. If you would stop company
from controlling more than one manu-.
featuring establishment you must stop a

The first Rosewnter. Hitchcock debate
was held before large audience in
Omaha Saturday night and each speaker
received liberal applause from those
assembled Viewed in an impartial
manner, Mr.. Rosewater undoubtedly
had the best OF it in logic and good sound,
sensible argument. Mr.. Hitchcock e
strength lies In his oratorical ability
and his talk might prove more pleasing
to the audience mt the time but would
scarcely bear the light of thought and
investigation that Mr. Rosewater's 's
would. Mr. Hitchcock is not so much
to blame, however, ''as the issues of. his
party contain little logic, but are appeals
to tho prciudices and passions of the
people One discussion will stick Will,
the other will melt away in mist OF
glittering generalities.

Governor Poynter makes good repub-
lican argument when he asserts that
state warrants are now bringing a
premium, whereas II few years ago they
were selling at discount. This is not
only true of the great state of Nebraska
but other states as well, and of counties,
cities and villages in such states. Re.
publican sound money and business
policies have done it. 1t is condition
in no wise the result of Mr.. Poynter's
vacillating policies, and facts will not
allow him to tilch the honor. Norfolk
refunded bonds at low rate of interest
and got u premium but it was not due
to the governors eXertions-not by q
little bit.

Rev. Il. l., Wheeler of South Omaha

Mckinley this year. He says that he

that his election would benefit the
western country although he knew
1.-The democratic party had not done a
clean or noble thing for forty. o
years" In closing MIR. Wheeler says
"The war came. 1t was not expected.
The democratic party urged it on.
They lied as they always have about
our presidents from Lincoln to Mckin-
ley, then when the outbursts of war
came, ran TO their holes as they did in
1861 and left the republican party to
clear up the mess while they stood around
and found fault. If Aguinaldo had not
been encouraged, just as jeff Davis was
the war would have been settled. Dc
you understand my politics?"

Business conditions are, perhaps, cap.
able of improvement, though they have
been better thnn ever before in the his
tory of the country. The News is far
from believing that under Mr. Bryan's
policies they would be bettered and 1t is
just as firmly convinced that the re-.
election of VIM. Mckinley will mean a
continuance, If not betterment, of ex-
listing conditions. Let well enough
alone, is safe motto in politics as in
everything else. 1t seems just as i'm
possible to have condition when every
body, without an exception, is satisfied
prosperous and happy, as it is to have
that condition when everybody, without
exception, suffers from calamity. 1t
matters not how prosperous times are
there can always be found people who
are not sharing in the general prosperity
and il matters not how calamitous times
are persons can always be found who
are prospering. What the country
needs is condition under which the
greatest number can prosper, and be
content and happy. 1t is confidently
asserted that the last few years have
witnessed the nearest approach to thii
condition. A change of administration
should not be risked, as it is certain
that times can be much worse.

The leading issues of the campaign
are very similar, in that little argument
is possible. Democracy has announced
rs the paramount issue imperialism" :"
This is poor subject for discussion as
their opponents are not supporting inn
perialism AMI are very much opposed to
converting the republic into All empire.
The republicans readily agree that there
should be no Imperialism and will be as
vigorous as the democrats in discourage
ing any such tendencies. Therefore, as
all are agreed, no discussion is possible.
Many republicans believe that the pre-.
vailing prosperity of the country and its
continuance is the paramount issue.
And no discussion is possible here.
Democrats cannot deny that prosperity
prevails,as there are bushels Of facts and
figures to prove that it does neither can
they argue that continuance of pros.
perity would not be of benefit to the
country-that would be silly. So there

POynter and the "Hlred Soldiers '


Povernor Poynter has repeatedly de-
MED that he has referred to the soldiers
as "hired soldiers The following
from H. G. Russell, veteran of the
civil war, seems to leave no room for
doubt but that the governor holds in
utter contempt certain class of soldiers,
if not all. Mr.. Russell writes as fol-
lows:
SCHUYLER, Neb.. Oct. 9.-To the
editor of the State Journal: | read
-ome days ago your notice as to a de-
NAL of Governor Poynter's, l did hot
see the governors deniol but l heard
what Roosevelt said at Lincoln, l heard
Governor Poynter at the Superior
reunion. He was very prefuse in his
praise of the G.. A. II. and the volunteer
soldier. He had nothing to say in
praise of the regulars; he called them
the hired soldiers" meaning they were
without patriotism, without love of
country. He wanted his hearers to
understand that therein was the danger
to our country Our old time copper.
heads made no distinction. They
dubbed us all "Lincoln's hirelings
I think Roosevelt used the word
"hirelings," what is the difference!
The governor used the words often and
always in an offensive way. Those who
heard him were reminded of his refusal
to allow the legislature to thank the
boys of the First Nebraska, denied by
his veto that they had added new glory
to our country, and lustre to our flag.
Governor Dietrich followed the gov
ernor and in strong, manly American
words resented Poynter's insult to oul
soldiers. Why did not Poynter follow
and deny it there before the people who
heard the words? Elk .CongressmsI
Hainer of Aurora followed Dietrich ant
he too resented the governors insult
But Poynter could not stand the patri
otic appeal of Hainer. He slipped off
Congressman Andrews heard him us'
the words. so did Captain Adams-al
our republican candidates but two wer'
on the stand and perhaps 800 people
Farmer Smith, Kansas, late OF th'
Nineteenth "hired" United States in
fantry, heard Poynter and remarked il
his speech as he told of eleven month
in Andersonville, "Im one of thos
hired soldiers your governor talked
about" Respectfully,
H. c. RUSSELL.
