Arch bishop Ireland for Mckinley

The fusionists have been industriously
circulating the report that Archbishop
Ireland in an interview with Pope Leo
in the Vatican at Rome had been com.
manded by the pope to notify the Gath
olics of America that they should sup
port Bryan in the interests of their
church. This was so evidently canard
that the archbishop was impelled to
announce his intentions in regard to
the political issues, which he did as
follows:
How do intend to vote? 1t cannot
at first sight but seem more or less i'm.
pertinent for any citizen to tell the
public how he intends to vote. In vot-
ing each citizen obeys the dictates of
his own sense of civic duty, he should
simply do this and leave to others to do
likewise. However. since certain
number of newspapers have undertaken
to say how l intend to vote, and in
doing so have misinterpreted my in
tention, and have intended to make
political capital of my intended vote, l
will give categorical and unmistakable
reply. Intend to vote for William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt In
giving my vote for the candidates of
the republican party, l am satisfied in
my own conscience that serve the
best interest of the country at home
and abroad that l contribute to the
maintenance of the country's material
prosperity and of peace and good will
between the several classes of its popula.
ton; that aid the country in bringing
about the safest and most honorable
solutions of the complex problems
which confront it as the result of the
late war and in retaining for itself the
exalted position which it holds at pres.
ent, commercially and automatically
before other nations of the world
trust no further doubts will be expressed
as to how intend to vote"

The same Mckinley who is now de.
nounced for militarism and aggressive
military tactics was but two years ago
denounced by the democrats as weak
and cowardly because:.he ..wouldn't en-.
gage in the war with Spain as promptly
rs they desired, He sought every hon.
orable means OF preserving the peace
between the two countries but when he
once was forced into it he showed a
vigor and aggressiveness that should
have bsen satisfactory to his--critics, but
it was not, and they are making all the
fuss they possibly can concerning the
war and all its results. 1t is but fair to
say that undoubtedly the large majority
of the American people were anxious to
see justice meted out to Spain and
thought that, perhaps, the president was
little slow, but since he has shown that
he could marshal his government in
battle array and act vigorously and
effectively they are going to stand
behind him and uphold him in the
results of that war.

an accounting and an injunction. The
suit is brought against Hayes as the
person now in actual possession of the
property of the national organization,
including the paraphernalia of its
printing office at the general head

The fusionists claim to know Just who
will be elected to the United States
senate from Nebraska providing re.
publican Legislature is chosen. They
claim to n greater knowledge than the
candidates themselves, but as the latter
have not been pledged by their conven-
tions it is probable that they will be
left to make the best choice possible
from the field of candidates presented.
Most Of the men aspiring to the Offices
of state senator or representative on the
republican ticket are safe, honorable
and competent men and people will be
perfectly safe in entrusting to them the
selection of United States senator's A
vote for them will be right.
The Norfolk weekly news., 1900-11-01

One week from today is election and
as it grows nearer the certainty of re-
publican success grows brighter, The
listlessness of the republicans has given
way to an aggressiveness that is creating
CONSERVATION in the fusion ranks and if
it keeps up for another week the elec.
ton of Mckinley and the placing of
Nebrask in the republican column will
be accomplished. A strong and united
effort should prevail during the next
few days.

In one of his latest speeches Mr..
Bryan says II did not complain when
men left us in 1896, for l have always
contended that n mans vote was his
own and that he had right to do with
it as he pleased" Perhaps Mr.. Bryan
knows what he il talking about, but it
seems quite doubtful. Many gold dem
ocrats there are who can remember
when they were termed TRAITORS"
because they wouldn't support the "free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 TO without the aid or con.
sent of any other nation"

The Herman Advertiser has received
a letter of corgratulation from M. M.
Warner of Lyons. Mr.. Warner con-

Mirror Topped in August. On July II
this same NJ. NJ. Warner wrote The
Pilot editor letter stating that he
would support the republican ticket if
he was paid for it. The republican
party doesn't hire papers or individuals
to be republicans and did not send Mr..
Warner the cash he called for. About
thirty days after, he came out on the
other side. The original letter is now
in the hands of w. G.. Sears of Tekamah.
The editor OF the Hastings Daily Re-
publican, the paper that came out for
Bryan the other day, personally ap-
preached The Pilot editor on the even
ing of August 23rd, 1900, and said that
the man who owned the controlling in
terest in the paper was democrat and
unless the republicans put up cash, the
paper would come out for Bryan. Here
are three papers, The Herman Adver.
tiser, The Lyons Mirror, The Hastings
Republican, all demanding cash to be
kept in line. They were all turned down
injustice to legitimate republican papers
and all three have come out for Bryan.
Is there voter in Nebraska who will be
influenced by the change of these
papers? Not if he is intelligent. Blair
