SOUTH OMAHA. Oct. si.--To the E6i.
ter OF The Bee !, for one. want 10 pro-
test against the dirty political campaign
being carried on In South Omaha In
bringing up the Blunt case against the
good name Of John Briggs. just because
he did his duty as an officer Of the law.
/ venture the assertion that the widow
herself could not feel worse than the
chief did over this unfortunate affair.
But Douglas county can rest assured
that as sheriff he will BRING criminals TO
Justice regardless OF consequences. He
has in my experience OF fifteen years &C
quaintance made one Of the best chiefs
in the United States. hence my voluntary
defense OF the next sheriff OF Douglas
county. am glad 10 believe that Omaha
with all its rule or ruin power over the
Magic city cannot beat what will prove
to be the best sheriff Douglas county
has ever had. j. @. BLESSING.
