EDITORIAL NOTES.

Be earnest friends. .* * * Avoid angry discussions. * * * Let every statement be formed in 'fact. * * * Martin T. Krueger and better times. * * * Lafayette is ablaze with Bryan enthusiasm. * * * Free coinage of silver and gold and business revival. •* * * Do not imitate our opponents by resorting to ridicule. * * * Bryan and free silver will bring better prices and a chance to pay the mortgages. * * * It is conceded now by the republican press that Mexico really is prosperous and progressive. * * * One dollar will pay for ten -campaign subscriptions to the Silver Daily. * * * The Bryan club of Lafayette has 1000 voters enrolled, and there are two smaller silver cluds in the city.' , * * * The silver men of Jasper eounty are jubilant over the recent repeated failures of the republicans to get attendance at their meetings. * * * Henry Warrum, candidate for supreme court reporter on the democratic ticket will speak at Remington in the evening of Friday, Oct. 9. * * * It is no matter to boast of that the front windows of the rich are decorated with a McKinley picture, nor is it les*s significant that Bryan’s picture is oftenest seen in the humble home. * * * Those who' ridiculed the idea ■of Mexican prosperity now attribute it to the corn crop not to silver or gold. Probably our prosperity under free silver will be credited to our crops also. * * * Warren county is in the silver revolution that is sweeping the tenth district like a whirlwind. The silver republicans of that county propose’to vote for honest Martin T. Krueger and better times. * * * . The silver man »has his eyes set closely together, with low . retreating forehead which narrows down to a point at the extreme back of the head.—S. P. Thompson, republican candidate for judge. • .

The soldiers’ vote is for Bryan in Nebraska. They are farmers there and they know that free silver will help them, and they don’t beleive it will hurt their comrades who are dependent on their pensions for a livelihood. * * * ’ No bill will sent to anyone who gets this paper. Every subscription is paid in advance and if you did- not do it some friend did. Take, read and hand it to your neighbor, and vote for Bryan and free silver. * * * Rally, rally, rally, why don’t you rally, boys? but it was in conspicuous evidence that in spite of wide advertising and persistent personal solicitation the boys did not rally last Friday to hear the biggest guns the Republicans have to fire, the Hon. James A. Mount and Charles F. Remy. And they are now .saying it was not intended for arally.' * * * It might be well for the farmers, who owe mortgages payable tn gold, to inquire of the lawyers who are now aspiring to judgeships in their districts, there opinion on the constitutionality of such gold clauses. The man who holds that a gold clause is legal and be will sustained in his court should be spotted, no matter if he was running on a silver ticket. x

Jasper County in Line.

The democrats, populists, silver republicans and prohibition ists of Jasper County have laid aside all party differences for this campaign and united on one ticket for county offices, that a solid front might be presented to the opponents of silver and better times. It was a patriotic duty of vastly greater importance than all other, considerations at this crisis in our nation’s life. The events of the past few months have greatly softened the partisan spirit of every true American citizen, and this union is one of mutual desire by all; it is a union of true comrades who are doing battle in a common cause. The ticket named is representative of all the elements that are uniting to restore silver to its rightful place in our monetary system, being composed of one prohibitionist, one silver republican, three populists and three demo- 4 crats, and is manifestly strong in every particular.

The call for a-free silver mass convention to meet last Thursday resulted in a well attended meeting of representative men of all the free silver parties. At the conference of the committee which was appointed it was learned that all the nominees of the democratic party had placed their resignations in writing in the hands of their chairman in order that the convention might not be embarrassed by their can didacy. The work of selecting a union ticket to be recommended to the convention was carefully deliberated upon, and the’convention accepted the ticket as suggested without a dissenting voice. ' The populist county convention met Saturday and nominated the same ticket with one exception, John Stillman having declined to be a candidate for commissioner. following resolutions were adopted by the free silver convention:

RESOLUTIONS. Recognizing the faetthat the great mass of the farmers and laborersof the United States are rapidly approaching bankruptcy, and believing that the scarcity of money and the demonetization of silver, thereby destroying its use as a primary money, and a money of redemption, are the main causes of the financial distresses which are so prevalent throughout this, the greatest nation on earth; and knowing that relief will never again be restored to our people until the present financial system of our government is changed from that of the single gold standard z to that of the - double standard of silver and.gold as it existed prior to 1873. and recognizing that the proposed policy of the republican party leads to nothing but darkness and despair, and that it Is but a continuation of the present policy of this government, and that the leaders of that policy bear the same relation to England and the English aristocracy, as did the tories in 1776; It is therefore Resolved,—That we, as patriotic citizens of Jasper county., in mass convention assembled. use ali honorable means within our power, to restore silver to the free and unlimited coinage thereof, and thereby throw off this yoke of financial oppression, thrust unon our people by the English aristocracy and their American allies, the tories of today. And further resolved, that we exert all our energies to elect William J. Bryan for president of the U. S. and the county ticket today placedin nomination by this convention., JASPER COUNTY SILVER TICKET. The! union free silver ticket as now agreed upon and as it will go upon the people’s party and democratic tickets, is as follows: For bounty Recorder, Judson J. Hunt; for County Treasurer, Ammon Beasley; for County Sheriff, Frank W. Fisher; for County Surveyor, Eugene Dilid; for County Coroner, William W. Reeves; for County Assessor, Austin Lakin; for County Commissioner Ist District, William Cooper; for County Commissionef Sd District, William Brin gie. .

Has Never Been Paid In Gold. I haya not been paid in gold as long as I can reinember, and I believe we workingmen will never see any gold if we keep the gold standard, but if we have gold and silver the gold will come down and shake bands with the workingmen. The silver is worth 53 cents now and will always remain so if we keep the gold standard, and we will get nothing, else but a 53-cent dollar for our labor. Those who are able to collect the gold and buy interest-bearing bonds to help to keep up the gold reserve will be the only ones who will have any benefits from the gold standard.

Veterans File a Protest.

W. M. Lakin, formerly of Jas per county, but now of Aurora, Neb., writes that the soldiers of Buffalo county, Nebraska, resent the attempt to class ’them in the republican gold standard ranks this year and sends the following under date of Sept. 20, 1896: Kearney, Neb.—lt will be remembered that a few weeks ago the republicans attempted to organize what is known as Veteran’s Union Patriotic league among the old soldiers, and that old soldiers who were favorable to silver were counted out and they afterwards left the hall and held a counter meeting. At the counter meeting a committee was appointed to draft resolutions condemning the proceedings and circulate them among the old veterans throughout the county for their old signatures, which was done, last night, they held a meeting to adopt the resolutions. The meeting was held at the Bryan club headquarters and was largely attended by the' old veterans, the room being too small to hold the crowd. The resolutions are as follows: Whereas, There was called on Saturday, August 29, 1896, a meeting of old soldiers of Buffalo county, Nebraska, jinder the following published call to-wit: “CALLED MEETING OF OLD SOLDIERS. “All union soldiers, without regard to past party affiliations, are urged to unite in a meeting to be held at the city hall Saturday night, August 29, at 7:30 o’clock. Dangerous combinations' are being formed this presidential campaign; vital questions concerning the honor and financial integrity of the nation we saved, are being agitated. Nine hundred and seventy thousand of our comrades

are creditors of our government; $140,000,000 arg their annual dues, earned in the furnace of war. Every dollar now is worth $1 in gold, and will remain so if we do our duty. Let us meet and organize for the protection of our own interests. Has any man or set of men a better right to do so? Remember the meeting.” (Six signatures.) Apd said meeting having been called toordei', there resulted as follows, viz: An attempt to organize a political order called'the Veteran's Union Patriotic League. The object of said organization being to have it appear, that all veterans of this country were in Sympathy with the principles of the republican party as expressed by that party’s platform of 1896, McKinley and the gold standard, and against that great Ameridan, William J. Bryan. Now 'whereas, in truth the'majority of old soldiers of this country are not in sympathy with- the principles of the republican party as expressed in their platform of 1896, and further, had no opportunity to prevent said organization being made by reason of the fact that an improper and misleading call was made, and no notice given for the purpose of the meeting in the above call and by reason of an unfair hearing allowed them at said meeting. Therefore be it Resolved,—That we, the following veterans of this county, do hereby protest against the attempt to fasten upon us a European system of finance rather than an American system, and that we do hereby pledge ourselves to join the Bryan club of Kearney and Buffalo county, and to do-all in our power to aid in the election to the presidency of this United States that grand patriot, William J. Bryan; firmly believing that by the great principles he enunciates 'and represents will our country’s interest be best served. That the language used in the circular read at said meeting, .calling all those who do not agree with the mandates of Wall street, “repudiatiors and traitors”, we condemn as being false in theory and in fact and unjust to the great majority of all veterans of this country, insulting to them, and calling down upon the heads of the promoters of the scheme the disapproval and condemnation of all fair minded and just citizens. Believing our actions to be fully justified, we hereby each for himself, indorse

the above expressions and pledge ourselves as above set forth. . And following this are exactly one hundred names of vetrans of Buffalo county, their company and regiment given, which are on tile in this office, It is indeed a severe blow to the ambitions of the McKinley people in Nebraska, which they have 'boasted of their ability to carry.
