A SATANIC VICTORY.

II Bill Stewart were cfuiidle for
Congress i'll the place Of Earring ton,
the former would not receive $50
votes in the State. The Republicans
despise hIm, and have wisely pro.
hibited his appearance on the stump,
not for fear TINT he would he rotten
egged, for which they would not care,
SO far rs the iDdignity to Stewar, WIS
concerned, but because they know
full wcll that every word he uttered
would multiply votes for Mr.. New
lands.
Stewards mission here is not TO
carry the State for Mckinley, but to
defeat Newlands. He fooled the Re.
publican national committee into the
belief that with plentiful supply Of
corruption money, Nevada's three
electoral votes could be secured for
Mckinley, which no knew was n
falsehood, But the money was Sc.
cured and is being used exclusively
to effect the defeat OF the man whom
the arch traitor, with the malignity
that Satan displays in his warfare
against Righteousness and the be.
levers III thebenelicent nnd supreme
power OF Almighty God, would de-
stroy.
Tho defeat OF Mr.. Newlands would
fill old Stewnrt's rotten substitute
Tor heart with the same malignant
JOY that il experienced by his CO.
workcs. the devil. after successful
crusade against the enemies OF hell'a
representative on this mundane
sphere. 1t ID all very we'll to abuse
the devil. but rank Inconsistency
accompanies such abuse by
aiding and Rbetting his unholy
work. No man III Nevada has the
shameless audacity to utter word OF
appreciation Of Stewart or his trui.
torous course, but there are hun.
drods who are, unknowipgly, pursu.
ing such d course Rs iu fact, and to
all practicable purposes, Is mani
festation OF endorsement Of the
creature whom they acknowledg.
mgly despise
The vote Of every Democrat or
Silver party man for harrington is
water on Stewart's wheel. II MIR.
Newlands should be defeated it
would enable the despised Senator to
return to Washington and boas,fully
proclaim that his treason to the silver
cause had been indorsed by the voters
OF Nevada, and that would be. up.
parently at least, what tho returns
OF the election would show.
ls there Democrat or Silver party
man in Nevada who would vote to
uphold the coarse of VIM. NJ Stewart,
the pitiful being who sponds his timo
seeking in VAN for some friendly
voice to give him greetrugH II there
IL not, there ia no valid reason why
MIR. Newlands should not receive tho
vote OF every member OF both OF tho
now allied parties in the State.-Rcno

WHICH WILL GET HIM.

Tho Wells Herald had fits because
Newlands spoke ut Deeth on Il Sun
day afternoon and Van Duzer at Tus.
carora on Sunday night. The good
pious soul OF the spotless Vardy bled
inwardly ut the wlckedness and moral
degeneracy OF Newlands and Van
Duzer in desecrating the,holy Sabbath
lie felt the slight to religion and
morality so deeply that he opened the
r:als of his wrath and heaped words
OF bitterness and condemnation on
their heads. lea, verify, he put
burning Goals on their heads and
danced around in fiendish glee to
500 them sizzle and fry. As he
danced, he gibbered away and now
and then something like this was
heard: christian gentleman who
would not desecrate the Sabbath by
making political harangues" or per.
haps u glimmer Of sanity would
penetrate his brain aud he would
stop and kneCl and with upliited
voice eIalt the Christian excellence
OF his candidate for Congress and
consign Newlands and Van Duzer to
the lowest dspth Of never ending
hell for making political speeches on
Sunday.
But now, 10 and behold the Chris.
tian gentleman he lauded to the skies
and held up before the people as a
character too pure to desecrate the
Sabbath ns Newlands and Van Duzer
had, goes to Carlin on Sunday after.
noon and makes political speech on
Sunday night. How this must rasp
the pure spirit OF Editor Vardy
Will no now fall upon his knees end
ask forgiveness for tho cruel, bitter
words hurled at Nowlands and Van
Duzcr or will ho by his vote endorse
IN Mr.. Harrington what he con.
dcnned IN themH II looks to n man
up a trco as II the sanity editor was
between tho devil and tho doep sea
with pretty fair chance Of tho devil
taking him into camp. How the poor

Up Aga,n., Uncle sam.

Albert Bradford, of Abba, is board
ing at Sheriff Suits hotel on North
Court street in default of bonds in the
sum of 5000 and is charged with writ
ing a threatening letter to Preston
Ashley, another Abba resident. Brad
ford was brought to Ottumwa yester-
day by Deputy United States Marshal
w. S. Richards and had a hearing be-
fore Commissioner Hunter this morn
ing. It is said that Ashley owed Brad
ley $1.50 and because of non-payment
the latter wrote the former a postal
card containing the information that
il the money was not paid he (Bradley)
would take it out of the other fellows
hide, or words to that effect. Uncle
Sam has made express provision for
cases of this kind and the chances are
that when the federal grand jury
meets Mr.. Bradley will have an un-
pleasant seance with Hon. Smith Nc
Pherson, the newly elected federal
judge for the southern district Of Iowa,
eastern division.

Sent to Rerorm school.

Willie Waits, the colored boy, and
Frank Dixon were each sentenced to
the reform school at Eldora, by Judge
Roberts Tuesday evening. Deputy
Sheriff G. T. Slavens took them to the
state institution yesterday, where they
will stay until they are twenty-one
years Of age. Dixon was caught a
few weeks ago by Merchant Policeman
Ed. johnson, attempting to break into
PiNley's confectionery store on Court
street. With Dixon, who at that time
gave his name rs johnson, was Waits,
who eluded the grasp of the officer
and escaped. A few days later Capt.
Gray espied the colored BOY sitting OF,
the steps of the Y. NJ. C. A. building.
Waits made run up the stairway and
hid in closet, but the officer found
him after short search. Tt is thought
that these are the same lads who at
tempted to enter Lowenberg Bros
bakery, the Dings grocery store on
West Second street and other places.
