e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SKITURDAY. APRIL 2, 1892 o ——— SARPY COUNTY. Sarpy county, named in honor of Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, was organized by act of tho territorial logislature, approved February 7, Prior to that date it formed the south- &rn part of Douglas county. It lies on the 1ddle eastorn border of the state, bounded ?;nho onst by the Missouri river, and on ho south and woest by the Platte river, which separates it from Cass anda Saunders counties. Sarpy contains about 275 square miles, or 151,000 acros, The population under the census of 1500 was 6.875, an in- croaso in ton years of 2,304, or 53.43 por cent. For tho vear 1500 the assessors roturned 92,650 aeres of improved land and 46,957 acres of unimproved land in the county: During tho past two years a largs portion of the un- improved lands has been put under the plow. Over sixty-tive miles of railroad traverso the county. The assessed valuation for 1890 reached a total of nearly $2,000,000, while the assessed valuation for 1801 was §2,208,134, which would indicate an actual valuation of all taxablo property of pot less than $14.000,000. For 1800 the assessors returned 2,880 acres of wheat, 53,400 acres of corn, 16,770 acres of oats, 3,400 acres of bariey, 2,000 acres of meadow and 600 acros of flax troes and 1,200,000 forest For 1801 these figures were some- woat incroased, most notably in the acreage of wheat which was 5,032, nearly 50 per cont higher than the precoding year. For 1500 the assessors roturned 14,444 cat- tle, 15,047 hogs, 5,370 horses, 457 mules ana 286 sheep, There are over 10,000 acres of timber in the county, leaving about 141,000 acres of farm- ing lands. The acroage valuo per ucre as given by tho owners is nearly §25. The growth of the county in agriculture is showu by oficial reports since 1550 as fol- lows: ACIES UNDEK CULTIVATION, 1880, 88200 1884 1885 1888 About 12 por cent of the county is vailey and the greater portion is rolling vrairie. with high bluffs skirting the rivers, The #0il on tho uplands is a rich loam, selaom less than two fect in depth. It has been said of Sarpy county that if its ‘wealth were equally divided among the in- habitants they would bave a larger amount por capitn than would the inhabitants of any other county in tho state. There are com- puratively few large land owuers in tho county, nearly all the land being cut up into small farms operated by the ownefs, and but few nonresident landlords, a condition which naturaily results in superior improve- ments, higher cultivation and better citizen- ship. Whilo corn is the staple crop, all ndso grain is raised in abundanco and with profit, and almost all finds a market at home. The close proximity of the Omaha stock yards makes Sarpy connty a profitable fleld Torstock men and furnishes a home market for surplus grain.’ The farmors, as a rule, arc contented and happy, and well they may be, with their vich lands, fine stock, abundance of fruit, comfortable and even elegant residences, 'with o marketat their doors for everything they can produce. Many of the most tarifty farmers are turning their attention to frult raising, an increasing number of acres of orchard and vineyard being planted each year. Grapes do well and there are a few extensive vine- ards n tho county, while almost every armer produces all be necas at home, The samo apolies to all kinds of small fruits, The beet sugar question is being agitated end favorably discussed by the more progrossive farmers. Somo aro pro paring to experiment by planting small patches in differont kinds of soil and submitting the product to tests with a_view to ascertaining what kind of land will pro- duce the greotest per cent of saccharine. A number of farmers and stock raisers in different parts of the county have been inter- viewed by a representativo of Tne BEk They talk from a knowledge that vears of experience have given them. In no other way could rallublo information concernin the re- sources of a county be procured. John Hickey Talks, John Hickey, living on ono of the largest and best improved farms in Sarpy county, or in tho state for that matter, three milos south of Gretna, came to Nebraska thirty-soven years ago, paying bis last Euglish shilling to a forryman who demanded 25 cents for forrying hun over tae rivor in o _small skiff, landing where Omaba now stands. In rolat- ing his experience ho spoke as follows *‘When I came to this country from Canada ( there was nothing bere to speak of. I landed {where Omana now is in tho spring, and the e season mowed grass with & soythe, ued the hay with a hand rake and vocked it up with a pitchfork n the ground thatis now Farnawm street. g;verybmly was poor and I was glad to work or my board. Later on, 1 bargained for 100 acres of lund at per acro and worked for §12.50 & mouth to pay forit. I still own the land and consider that I made a good in- yvestmeat. When I married [ took my wife {nto a hole 1n the hillside aud ray first house, which was an improvement. on the dugout, t mo $11 in mouey and that was pmd for he door, window and floor. Tho house was of logs and the roof split logs covered with bay and soil on top of that. I borrowed the clothes I was married inand the money 1 paid to the squire, but I prospered from that day to this although, like oticrs, I have mot with scvere lusses. 1 now own 1,120 acres 1u a lump, besides the first 100 acres mentioned, nud last year I sold 250 acres for $10,000. [ homesteaded tho quarter whero 1 live and bought around me at first for $2.50, toen $5 aud later as high as §5 por acro, 1 have good buildings, as you see, have spent many thousands in improvements and have wada it all out of the ground. I have taken some puins to raise groves and now have many acres in_ trees, some of which would requare eight or ten inches. I had one forty- rveyed and laid out in such a manner as 10 plant twenty acres of it in forest trees around the outside of the piat, leaving twonty ucres for orchard in the cen- ter. In 1590, Whon the apple crop was a fail- ure, I had 5,000 busbels and sold them at & a barrel on track at Gretus, ana for §1.25 a. bushel in the orchard. Besides the twenty acres of orchard [ have 300 fruit troes in an- Other place doing well. Planted &n acre of grapes, (00 vines, among tho trecs and never cultivated them, ' but they ran up the apple trees aud throve in spite of noglect, so wo bave apples and grapes on the same trees. 1 douot think I could make money raising {l‘-ln for sale, as that takes overything off he land and puts uothiug back, I'believe in EOWIng up my land. I bave put in scales and buy grain to feed stock in addition to the 15,000 “or 20,000 bushels raised on tho farm. Corn this year went from forty to sixty bushels per acro-—none less than Tforty,. Am not feeding cattlo this year, aud think I'am lucky as gnlu is high and cattle low. I keep draft orses and find them profitable. Shipped sevou head to Randolph a fow days ago at 8150 & hoad.

The ouly drawback 1 can think of is the fact that the ruilroads can charge what they please.

They now rent their lands and are engaged in banking. *‘The greatest trouble we have,” said Mr. Spearman, *is in keeping good tenants, Whenever wa get a good renter ho makes money enough in a short ime to buy either the farm ho is on or somo other, and loaves us. Our farms are well 1mprovod; good buildings, orchards, groves, etc. We fed 600 head of cattle last yoar and have mado lots of money out of stock, There is no indebted- ness on our lanas and we have paid out thou- sands of dollars for improvements. I will tell you of an instanco that will bo interest- ing as an examplo of the succesa of energetic farmers in this county. Mr. A. Fowlor com- monced o u rented farm belonwing to Thomas Langdon six years ago, with notbing but A big family (fourteen in all) and recently loft for Hall connty with 5,000 in hard cash besides his teams, wagons, etc. When a renter can clear an average of $1,000 & yoar, without capital to start with, it looks as if farming, pure and simple, Was a good paying busindss, There are plenty of thrifty ‘Germaus around (Gretna who are writing to their friends in the old country where they cannot lay up a dollar, urging them to come here as many do, and as a rulo thoy acquire title to lands and can give a ood bankable note within a year or two of landing. William A, Bell, Willlam A. Bell owns a farm of 160 acr two miles south of Papillion. He has bu littie sympathy for the farmer who grumbles. Mr. Bell located 1 Washington county in 1856 and farmed thero until six yeais ago, when he moved to bis present home. Mg sees littlo differeuce between the two countie froma farmer's standpoiat oxcept that his present locatiou is more convonient to market. To keops Morgan horses and Jorssy cows, having on haud now ffteen of the formor aud fifty of the latter. He started with nothing, but has made money every yoar until now ho is r:dependent. He is fensthusiastic over the Omaha stock and produce market and thinks it 1s the best thing possible for the entire state, Mr. Bell is an intelligent gentleman to whom his neighbors often Jook for advice, at least his neichbors so say, und they add that he bas plenty of money at in- terost, Joseph Pllug, Joseph Pflug lives two and a half miles south of Papillion on 160 acres of land which he bought tive vears ago. Mr. Pflug is him- self a Sarpy county production, having been boru and raised thero. Ho has made monoy every year of his farming life and although but a young man is now prepared to carry on his farm for the fun of it. He has just com. pleted a new house which cost him §2,500, Witkin the last year he has spent for im- vrovements over $3,000. His farm was with- out improvements when he boughtit. He also speaks higbly of the Omaha markets and gives 1t as his opinion that a farmer who canuot make money in Sarpy couaty will fail anywhere. His father, Jacob Pflug,owns 500 acras four and & half miles northeast of Papillion, has been here thirty-one years and has never known a failure ot crops. He has six acres of orchard and auy amount of small fruit, is out of debt and puts his surplus money in land and improvemeunts. James N, Mart James N. Martin resides in the now Rock Istand town of Richtield, about four miles southwest of Papillion inl & new house which cost him §2,500. Ho camo to Sarpy county in 1855, starting farm life on a claim and now owns 760 acres of land all well improved. His lana is divided up into four or fivo farms, Orchards and small fruit have not been ncg- lected and have always given good returns. Mr. Martin says ho has always made money farming, though he bad a hard struggle in tho start. He has made most of his money raising and solling grain, though ho has handled somo stock, aud in speaking of 1t he paid a tribute to the Omaha market. Thomas Hamilton, Thomas Hamilton is the fortunate owner of the town site of Richfield. He has owned lands 1 Sarpy county for twenty-four years and now has 640 acres. In all those years ho has never known a failure of crops. When asked what his land was worth he promptly replied be had none tor sale, but added that he paid $0 per acre for some and $00 for more. Ho thinks theworld caunot beat east- orn Kansas and Nebraska and western Iowa for farming country. Mr. Hamilton has 500 bearing apple tres and oneand one-half acres of grapos which he says pays botter than anything elso he owns. He is a cattlo man except when corn is high, then he sells grain. He camv to Nebraska from Canada stopping on the way in Ohio to work for money to get through on, Ho has no com- plaints to make and thinks there is no excus for the discontented farmer. . M. P. Brown. M. P. Brown farms on a small scale and makes a specialty of Hambletonian horses of which he nas twenty head. -He has been in Sarpy county for twenty vears and was born in Omaha. He owns only 100 acres, but has always mado money farmiug snd handling stock. He says any farmer, largo or small, who attends to his business and lets others alone can make money, but thinks the time has come when less land and better cultiva- tion should be the rule. Colonel John Ritchle, Everybody knowa Colonel John Ritchio, who came to Douglas county iu 1857 and lived in Omaha tea vears, Holis now 81 years old, but still a boy, and o farmer too, He owns 160 acres four miles southcast of Pa- pillion which be bought in 1870 for $2,200, He 45 s put a great deal of mouey in im- provements, built & fino house and large barns, planted orchards and small fruit, etc, Tho colonel says be is a farmer but not an Alliance man and thinks tho Alliance shou d have kept ovt of politics. Said he, “to show you that [ thiuk farming pays I can cite you @ score of mon around mo who came hore in an carly day, without a dollar and are now worth from $30,000 to $150,000 cach, Many of them worked for 813 a month and paid as high as 40 per cent for money to pay pre owption price for their land. Poter Glandt of Douglas countyd is an examplo who began in Nebraska with 37 ceots, worked for 812 a month, paid 40 per cént for pre-emption money and is now worth at least §150,000, Colonel Ritchio has been n state sehator 1n Ohio, councilman in Omaba and served a term'in the territorial legislature, Fred Hagedon, Fred Hagedon has & 240-acve farm near Portal, for which he pmd §,800 eight years ago. He has refused §0 an acre for it. He has an elegant house, large barns and otber improvements. Mr. Hagedon is an importer of Percheron and German coach horses. He farmed for thirty years in Illinois and made monaey at it, but thinks this beats it, good as Tilinols is. The complaining class of farmer: are those who would not do well any place, Heo thinks the beet sugar industry should be agitatea and thinks it woutd pay. Mr. Hage- don owns the Linnville hotel aud other prop- erty in Papillion. Daniel Morrison, Daniel Morrison’s farm of 280 acres lics four miles west of Springfield. Ho says: 81 bought my first land in 05 and addea to it in I3~pald # per acre for We st and from $10 up for the balance. It is now worth from $00 to 805 per acre. I came hero from Ireland, but stopped on the way to work for means to get here on, My farm is well im- proved, good buildings, 300 to 400 fruit trees, and 1 know farming pays in -Sarpy county.’ Willlam Morrison. William Morrison, fiva miles southwest of Gretna, pra-empted land 1o 1853 and now owns 900 ucres, ' Has made money farming and bas been buying more land steadily.

Paul Boob, Paul Boob went in dabt for 160 acres, five wiles west of Springtield, in the 60's, and now owns 8¢ acres all under fence, highly improved, splondid builaings, big orchards, aud abundance of small fruit. Mr. Boob ia large stock raiser and seldom has less than 100 head of feeding cattlo on bis farm. He made his first fow dollars ariving as a freightor, aud his first Lig money out of wheat. He is cousidered a very successful man, and bas mado it all out of Sarpy county soil. He has never wasted any time com- rlunlu( of hara times, and as a consequence s reputed to bo worth §300,000. Fred Schuman, Fred Schumau, three wiles west of Chalco, OWus quarter section which he bought in 75, Has lived in Sarpy county since 1566, “Farming pays in Nebraska, us | have rea. son to know.

A fow of his neighbors tried shipping stock to Chicago iately, but got left every time, Omaha now pavs almost up to Chicago prices, owing to compatition. Frult Raising in Sarp, Spoaking of fruit ralsing in Sarpy county, Mr. J. J. Bishop of Springtield remarked that he considered 1t a profitable business and know of a great muny farmers who were tarning their attention to fruit raising. Mr. Bishop came to the county in 1871, has 120 acros of land, with 700 apple treos on it, 200 in vearing. Borers e never troubled his but what they call *'sun scald” has in- certain varioties. Such varietios as tho Snow, Ben Davis, Winesap and Jennoting, haviug heavy follage, aro seldom injured by the sun, as the top formsa protecting um. brella for the trunk.

Omana’s Commereial Assocontion to Make War Against Rate Discriminintions, April has arrived, tho Iowa legislature has adjourned and the Omaha Commercial asso- ciation means tofind out how much sincerity there is in the promises of the lowa railroads when besought to relieve Omaha jobbers of }he burdensame bridge toll on shipments into ow! Mr. Charles . Waller of the Richardson Drug company, who is president of the Com- mercial association and at the head of its ex- ecutive committee, is contident that the [owa lines will now grant the desired relief, but he is not going to sleep while they mako up their minds about it. Ho will at once havo a conterence with General Manager Clark of the Union Pacific, who has declared himself in favor of Omaha's dewands and volunteered his influence in its behalf, Ir the abuse is not, corrected within a few days, Mr. Welier, accompanied perhaps by other members of the executive committee, proposes going to Chi- cago next week and delivering the ultimatum of the Omaha jobbers. A meeting of the Commercial association has been called for April 16, when, it 15 hoped, the committee may report the abroga. tion of the unjust bridge toli. It will not be necessary, however, to wait until that meot- ing before the association can tuko steps to ouforco its demands. Under the pro- vistons of its coustitution stho execu- tive committee is vested with considerable arbitrary power. Among other things it has authority to route the through shipments of the memoers of the association for a period of six mouths, This gives the executive committee a tremendous power,and 1ts mem- bers are now in & frame of mind to uso it. As already explained in Tur Ber the com- mittee has deterwmined to boycott the Town lines if necessary and use the Santa Fo and the Missourl Pacitic on shipments from the east. They do not want war., and delayed action until April 1 at the sugeestion of the railroads in hopes of getting a peaceable con- cession, but they say the dilly-dallyiug must now end.

Criminal Casss On Weforo Judge Davis— Some Civil Suits Tne case of the stato against P. A. Gavin is on trial in criminal court today aud is at- tracting considerable attention. On the vight of February 19, 1802, a storehouso at Twenty-fifth and Cuming streets burned The building was owned by A. H. Sanders and the circumstances attonding tbe burning were so peculiar that Gavin was arrested on the charge of arson, an indictmont having been returned against him by the grand jury. The case of the state against James I"lan- nery, who was charged with having shot at Ofticer Bauer with intent to wound, was closed and a verdict of mnot guilty returned, In Judge Irvine's court divorces were granted 1n the cases of Della Hartloy against lidward Hartley and Georgia Jackson against Edwin Jackson. Cruelty was charged in both cases. The case of George Warren Smith agaiast tho city of Omaba was dismissed at the de- fendant's costs. Tae suit was brought to re- strain the collection of a grading tax. Before Judgo 1))ane and a jury the case of Joha Swanson against the Omakia Gas Manu- facturing company is on trial. Swauson was a workman in the employ of the defendant, digging a trench at Twenty-fifth nd Joues © streets. On August 14, 1500, while so employed, be was caughtin a cave-in and {njured. The presevt suit is to recover alleged damuages, which he fixes at $10,000. ‘T'he jury has returned a verdict for the de fendant in the case of Margaret Kelley agaiust Balthes Jotter.

INGALLS' POLTTICAL IDEAS Harrison's Administrastion Regarded as an Unqualified Enocess, WHAT THE KANSAS ALLIANCE WILL DO Every Effort Will Be Mado by the Party to Carry Stato Tickets, with Flattering Prospects In Many Parts of the Country Orruswa, Ia, April 1.—[Special to Tae Ber.|—Ex-Senator Ingalls of Kansas, who fatied to lecture hore through a combination of adverse circumstances, granted an inter- view concerning the political phases of the coming contest yesterday. To tho question, ““Who will be the standard bearers for the two great pacties in November,” ho said: “‘Hurrison and Cleveland. The first is in- evitablo and the second cxtremoly probable. The schism in New York is of course un- favoravle to Cloveland, but he is so unmis- takably the enthusiastic prefercuco of ninety- nino out of every hundred of tho voters of his party that tho politiciaus cannot safely disrogard the popular will. Hill 1s a dextrous and consciousless conspirator, whose propor- tions havo boon sinking rapialy sinca ho loft Albany. “‘Nothing more degrading and at the same time more ridiculous has ever been witnessed in this country than the paltry spoctacle of his southern tour for the avowed purpose of capturing the presidential nomination. Had be remained at s post and kopt still e mnight have retamed his promiuonce, but he is no longer potential except for mischief. He smote Cleveland once under the fifth rib ana he may do it again. It is impossible now to forecast tho result. Much will depend on the action of the democrats in the houso be- foro adjournment and much on the nomina. tion at Chicago. It does notscem at preseat as if it woro anybody’s race. It witl not bea walkover. Under some circumstances, Mas- achusetts, Now York, Wisconsin, Michigan, llinois, Ind lowa and Nebraska may be classed'as doubtful states, The south will bo solid as usual, and if unexpectedly nided in the north will ba troublesome, but things are Roing our way now and Lam confident that wo shall suceeed Tarfl' W “Will the tariff bo the leading issued” ““Undoubtediy the tariff and tho applica- tlon of the maxims of protoction will con- tinue to bo the principal issue, as ndeed it has been from the foundation of the govera- ment. Thoeffects of tho tremendous as- suult on the McKinley bill are disappearing, Tho peopie ure bewildered and misled and they now see thet they were decoived. The importation of noudutiable goods has greatly werensed. Prives have steadily doclined, wages have been generally mawmtained, agri® culture has flourished, ~ money is moro abundunt, the rates of interestare going down and prosperity seems to have come to stay. The prophecies..of disaster have not been verified and the loud outeries of tho manufacturers of England, France and Ger- many ingicato that 1f anybody bas been hurt, the injury has beeu to forcign interest and not our owan.” ‘Wil silver be an issue in the campaizn?" *4t will be dificult to-eliminate the silvor question entirely from the canvas, but its importance as a factor. is rapidly diminish ing, and it may disappear. Boih the pro deutial candiaates will probably bo anti-free silver, and as_both parties aro hopelessly divided iv.cannot hardly bo presented as au issue in either the republican or democratic platforms. This will leave it for the third party to use as ''a bait for the suckers and gudgeons to reinforce the demcracy. The. .excitement of frec coinage arose in the demand for in- creased circulating medinm and has been stimulated by the mina owners of the silver producing states in‘ordér to ratse the prico of the metal. Thero is no more reason why the government should buy silver and issue certificates on it than thero is why it should buy wheat and issue certicates on that, If silver 1s a money metal it should be coined like gold, values belug equivalent. 1fitis u comunodity then the government should let it alone.” Kansas' Political Foreeast. “What do you think the alliance 1n Kansas will do this fall? Tho ulliance has for a time been in a state of suspended snimation but shows signs of apbproaching activity in the campaign. Being secrot its numbers ars unknown snd its purposes and methods not disclosed, but under the namo of the people’s party 1t will undoubtedly nominate a state ticket and en- deavor tocarry tho legisiature. Nearly 60 per cent of the soldiors voted with them in 1890, but it will bo dificult to hold these from tho republicun party in a presidoutial 1 3te the Issue. “Is Jerry Simpson the statesman pictured by the journals of the east?’ Simpson is not a scholar nor a_courtier. Noither 15 ho tho poor ruffian and clown that tie has been painted by tho paragraphers, Ho 1s o shrewd, good humored, midd!e-aged man of much native sense, who has knocked about the world a good deat and learned from men rather than books, Ho is epigrammatic and ‘catches on’ quickly. Ho is by long odds tho abiest and most conspicuous of the Jacobins landed in congress by tho alifance revolu- tion. He will undoubtedly be renominated, and if supported by the demoorats, as now soems provable, tho contest will b interest- ing." Complimented the Administration. “What do you think of President Harri- son’s administration ‘“‘Harrison’'s administration has grown steadily in public estimation and notably in tho past two years. It has been safe, con- servative, dignified ana frea from scandal or reproach, oither personal or ofiicial, It has met all emergencies promptly and with vigor. There have been no firoworks nor any pageants mor spectacular aisplays to dazzle the fancy and rouse tho thoughtless to enthusiasm. The appeal has been to the judgment rather than to the imagination of the American peoplo. 1ts polivy bas been solid and substantial without show or glitter, and the business 1nterests of the country are satisfied. It is soldom that a min grows iutellectually after ho is 50 years old, but the president” has advanced per- ceptioly sinco bis inauguration and has developed unsuspected mental gualitios, The speeches dolivered on his tours through the country have been a distinct contribution to the literature of the century.

M Coroner Maul was cglled Thursday nigkt to Millard to hold an ingugst uver the body of Henry Truelson, who had committed suicide. ‘Pruelson was a wealllly farmer who lived three miles northwest of the town of Mil- lard, where he aud Lis boys worked 400 acres of land. He was living with a second wife who bud been &, widow, and tho family consists of ehildren of all three marriages, He was 50 years of age and one of the best known residents of the county, having lived in the neighborhood for the past eighteen years. ‘T'he evidence brought out before the jury failed to assign auy cause for the deea. Tue victim bhad not been feeling well for a fow days and yesterday he ate no dinner and was unusually tacitura, After dinner, while in the farm yard, he dispatched a son Wwbo was with him on some errand to another part of the premises. When tho boy returned he bad occasion to go into the granary and there found his father hancing by tho ueck, dead.

Dave il Democrats In Donglas County Will e Rebuked Having thrown down the sage of battle, the local Hill democrats find themselvcs rather in the position of the man who sawed off the limb between himsell ana the tree. Thoy started tho fignt, and if the romarks mado by Cleveland men under their breath cnn bo taken as a measure of their feollngs the local Tammany man will wish thoy badn’t dono it, “It's a mighty good thing for the republicans,” said a democrat who is 10t givon to talking at random. 4 ay much talk was indulged in and many opinions wers expressod, from the tenor of which it is gathered that the majority of democrats are not interested in the honorable Mr. Martin's efforts to plac at the hond of Nebraska domocracy. This: lot- tor from Mr. Charles Offutt very cloarly states the position of a large cluss of tho party : Owama, April 1.—7T0 the Editor of Tne Ber: Whilo not assuming the right to ad- dress or dictate tothe democracy of this state, or, indeed, that of Douglas county erant mo leave, 1 beg you, to answer for solf the somowhat remarkublo “address” of Mr. Montgomery in today's issue of the World-Herald. As one of the democrats nd- dressed, 1 claim that right. {am not a cangidate for, and would havo, any office in the eift of the peoplo. As a democrat, Ilove the true priuciples of the party and believo that its welfare and suc cess is above the ambition of any man or auy man’s friend It is a matter of no concern 1o the party whether Govornor Boyd or Mr. Martin is pleasod with its selection. Tho desires or ambitions of theso two eentlemen—both worthy—have nothing to do with tho matter, It is, however, of the highest concern to tho party that it seieet the man that caa and will best voico its interosts in the national coun- cila. That this mon is James B. Boyd, the governor of this state, the oniy democratic governor it ever had (or over will have if taese petty jenlousics and personal ambitions do not down), the man who never gave his namo as a candidato for office or position without leading his followers to victory and acquitting himsslf ns nobly as the best. What! Shall the democracy of Nebraska fail to servo itsclf by seaaing at tho bead of its delezation the man who never failed to honor it, who has borne contumely and insult because he did, who has become a national character, and 18 re- garded in every state of the union as the chierest of Nebraska aewmocrats! Shall we tell the people by our action tuat Governor Boyd’s alection wias un accideat and that we jom in the cry of his political opponcnts against him, that we countenance the fight which has boen waged against him and thut he has fallon so low thay we will not permit him to ropresent us in the national conven- tion ¢ Demanded by De racy. Bocause Governor Boyd has for long years veen tho accredited roproseutative of tho party, therofore now, above all other fimes, be should stitl be. The party owes this to itsell. Away with *rotation” in ofiice or any other considoration which does not sololy and alone consider tho fitness avd the propricty of the seicction. ‘I'ne party cannot afford to bo ungrateful, and no man has the right to offer praise of his services that he may have payment in office holding. Mr. Montgomery does Mv. Martin injustice in this. The democracy of Nebraska do demand that the governor of tho stato shail lead its delegation to Chicago. This is no “‘harmless fantasy,” the harm comes rather in _stirricg up this unseemly strife. The man who would do or sanction it ought not to be allowed to sitin the stato convention, much lees tho uational counails of the party. 1f addresses were issued and porsonal ef- forts directed unselfishly to the so- lection in our locul mcetings of such delegates ns would look to the wel- fare of the party and the elucidation of 1s principles, o self-respecting democ could go to thé polls and vote for his varty nominees without hanging his head ov ques- tioning his patriotism, but so long as tnis narrow polics of tearing down and self-seck- ing is continued, the democracy of Nebraska will mect the defeat which it courts 1f 1t does not merit. Why issuo addresses about personal matters? Go to the people on pr ciples and let these, not the inuu, wear the Jaurels. Yours truly, Cuanies OFFUTT. not | Mr. Sinyth on the Situation, Tho situation was summod up in the fol- lowing language yesterday morning by Constantinedd. Smyth: “As L take it there is not so much of per- sonal animosity in this unpleasautness as some people try to make it appoar. Thero is an undercurrent back of itall. Jtis like this: For fifteen or twenty vears certain democrats in Neoraska haye assumed the leadership of the party and in many instances they bave led the party to disaster. There is ~ @ young and sturdy element in the party that has not been satisfied with this leadership and tho dissatisfaction has beon growing moro apparent all the while. But these old- time loaders do not propose to relinquish thelr grip upon the reius. Recent ovents have proven that the same old rezimeis to ve fcllowed by thoso who have for so long been dictating the policy of the party, and obposition to the cld riog has naturally grown and Is beginning to assert itself.” My, Smyth is with Euclid Martin io tho fight. Patrick Ford Supports Boyd. Patrick Ford is usually ready to speak out what he thinks about men and measures, 'C. S. Montgomery is a kicker aud always was atkicker,” said Mr. [ford to a Bge reportor. “Governor Boyd 1s going to bo the delegate-at-large to the national convention as sure as the sun shines; there is no doubt about that. i think Murtin and some of his friends are the Hill gang, but they will get the Earth, “Iam of tho opinion that one man should not own the earth,” said Hon. M. V. Gannon whon the subjoct of the party spht was broached by & Beg reporter. *I believe in letting every man have a share. Several of Governor Boya's friends bave served the dewmocratic party only when they could serve themselves, When representative mea of the party bave eone to Governor Boyd with requests they bave repeatealy been met by the mssurance that ‘these watters will be referred to Jim North and Charles Ogden.’ And who are they! His peculiar surroundings mako it quite out of the question for the p=oplo to oxpect anytbing from Governor Boyd that they had a vight to expect from the candi- date of the democratic party. He hus utter- ly failed to redeem the pledees made by the party whon he was electod. | am in favor of Martin in the present strngele,” Ga lenas for Sence, Mr. Con Gallagher said, *I am sorry to see this personal feeling and contention be- tween M lartin and Governor Boyd. There 15 o necessity for anything of the kind, There is no reason why both Governor Boyd and Mr. Martin should not go to the national couvention. Iam in favor of sending them both,” Mr, A, E. Coggshall said: “1 am in favor of Governor Boyd in tiis dispute.” Can't nnd Won't Talk, Mr. A. J. oppleton said: I am not inter- ested 1o politics and therefore Luve abso- lutely nothing to say. Idou’t know anything aboht the controversy. All tho politics { take auy iutorest in is of a national or gen- oral gind.” Mr. Euclid Martin was soen but said ho had nothing to say for publication.
