Murphy its record has been one o
plumber and robbery. 1t has stoler
millions from the taxpayers, stuffet
ballot boxes and defed, at times, tn,
state government and national author
ity. Mr.. Hearst, in his recent attach
on the organization casts the light O
publicity on this band of hooters
"When Tammany Hall goes out t.
make a conquest of the city of New
York" he says, "it contemplates cast
ing no fewer than sixty thousand
fraudulent votes. There are Tam.
! many tools in Sing Sing who have
confessed to putting in from fifteen t.
one hundred fraudulent votes each in
q single city election. In an election
the Tammany campaign fund is never
under q scoundrel million of dollars.
Nine-tenths of this is intended fol
corruption and devoted to corruption.
Everybody knows this; nobody denies
it. New York City hasn't had IN
honestly.elected administration since
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. In a single campaign the
corruption fund has reached above
$9,OOO,OOO. And every dollar of those
millions was as drop Of poison in the
public blood. When such are the
ballot conditions, one wonders if Bun
ker Hill were not a failure and York.
town mistake"
What has happened in New York
City in past elections will occur again
this year. Tammany demands big
campaign fund, and Haskell will see
that Boss Murphy gets it. Croker,
the ex-boss of Tammany, made his
millions and retired. From an iron
moulder earning four dollars q day he
worked his way to the head of Tam.
many and became its chief. 1t was
Bryan who said in 1900 that "Great
is Tammany and Croker is its
Prophet" With ten millions of dol
lars Bryan's friend Croker is now
living in luxury in England. When
Murphy's loot is large enough he, too,
will retire. 1t is for men of the Muir.
ply ilk that the hat is being passed
around for in Nebraska among the
Bryanites. The Tammany tiger is
hungry-always hungry-and must
be fed in order to insure the usual
for the Democratic ticket in
New York City. Will the farmers
and workingmen of Nebraska help
furnish fodder" for the tiger?

ALIGHrNlNG CHANGE ARTIST.

ALIGHTNING CHANGE ARTIST.
In attempting to reply to Mr.. Taft
on government ownership of railways,
Mr.. Bryan said:
1 do not desire government Ownership.
I hope that the railroads will permit re-
gilation. Our position only differs in
that b. hes moro faith than I have in the
willingness of tho railroads TO be regula-
ted!
This indicates that Mr.. Bryan is
quite handy as . lightning change
artist. In his speech At Madison
Square Garden, on August 80, 1896.
the Great Masticater of His Own
Words said:
I have reached the conclusion that
there will be no permanent relief on the
railroad question, from discrimination
between individuals and between places,
and from extrortionate rates. until the
railroads are the property Of the govern
ment and operated by the government
in the interests OF the people.
Now that Mr.. Bryan has reversed
himself on this question, it is in order
for the Nebraska Government Owner
ship Club to meet and pass . resolu-
ton of censure against itself and get
in line with The Peerless. There
must be harmony in the ranks of the
Standard Oilites if they hope to make
q good showing in November.
