Nebraska and New York
A serious difficulty of a faction¬
al character existing between the
two factions of Democrats in Ne¬
braska has reached the Supreme
Court of that State on the question
of party regularity. The failure
of the two wings of the party
harmonize was in part caused by
the intervention of the - national
Administration. It appears that
the course of the Federal Adminis¬
tration toward the Democrats of
Nebraska has been hostile and an¬
tagonistic. Applicants for Feder¬
al office, ‘‘fawned upon Secretary
Morton,” and at last year’s Demo¬
cratic Convention, we are told on
the same authority, all candidates
for Federal office were made to
understand that they must attend
the Convention, and vote as the
Federal Administration
for the sake of office at hand or
pccted. But it seems that the
offices did not, go around, and the
result is that this year all the disap
pointed men are ant i-Ci-kveland.
“The hulk of the Democrats
shared the general disgust with
the acts of the President and Con¬
gress, and thought best to rebuke
him and Congress by espousing the
cause of the men most repugnant
to them.’.’
In Omaha, for instance, the chief
town of Douglas county, the Feder¬
al Administration was outvoted at
the Convention primaries five to
one ; and a rector of an Episcopal
parish in Omaha walked two miles
to attend a Democratic primary for
the purpose of voting in favor of
Mr. Cleveland’s opponents. The
reverend gentleman could not see,
he said, why Federal officeholders
considered it a part of the duties of
their offices tcubecome offensive and
conspicuous in attempting to de¬
feat any candidate, especially by
unfair means. Reduced to its sim¬
ple elements, the situation in Ne¬
braska is this : The regular Demo¬
crats, ut their convention, have
nominated a candidate for Gover
nor ; while the forces of the Feder¬
al Administration,, that is to say,
the officeholders, are used to equip
and assist a bolting faction to the
sole benefit and advantage of the
Republican party. The power of
the Supreme Court lias been in¬
voked to decide the question of
regularity between the two.,
In the State of New York a
somewhat similar question is forced
upon the notice of all Democrats.
A political life and death fight ap¬
pears to be going on between the
leader of the Democratic party and
its senior representative in the Uni¬
ted States Senate^on one hand, and
the allied forces of Republicanism,
Mugwumpery, and dissentient
Democratic factions on the other.
The Federal Administration, with
u horde of officeholders, office seek¬
ers, and partisan followers, all sup¬
posed to be Democrats, and itself
exercising power and influence by
virtue of Democratic votes, stands
faltering and undermined. Will
these officers by lukewannness and
indifference, if not by actual hos¬
tility and a bolt, so far embarrass
the course of the whole New York
Democracy that a Republican vic¬
tor)*, to the almost irreparable in¬
jury of future Democratic prospects,
will be the result ?
In Nebraska the issue Involved
in the fight is comparatively unim¬
portant—the Governorship in a
state hitherto Republican, and a
Senator to succeed Brother Man
derson, a Republican. It is not to
be supposed that, in any event, a
Democrat will succeed Manderson.
A Republican defeat would mean
only the election of a Populist col¬
league to Senator Allen.
How different is the situation in
New York l there the whole future
course of the Democracy in its
most important stronghold is in¬
volved in the triumph of the Demo
ticket, for defeat car¬
ries with it s Republican apportion
of the State for twenty years

It must put its shoulder to the
wheel and help save the day for
Democratic principles.
No Slump At All.
During all this recapitulation of
“reasons’Wor, and tintinabulation
of talk about “the great slump,”
and the twisting of the figures to
suit the theories of this and that
partizan, it will be interesting to
give some comparisons of official
figures between the elections of
1892 and Gubernatorial 1894. r
In the election of
1892, the vote was as follows :
North**!!.. . 140,492
Peek .,68,990
Democratic majority.. ...... .......71,."i02
One month afterwards occured
the Presidential "election. The
vote Wi ^ as . follows :
^Cleveland, ** .48,305 129,380
Harrison ..,
Weaver.. . .......42,939— 91,224
Cleveland’s majority....... ..38,142
Now let us compare these votes
with the election in October, 1894.
Democratic vote...... .......124,490
Populist vote....... .......91,390
Democratic majority ... .......3.3,094
Now let us see what we find by
comparisons :
We find first that the total vote cast
in the Cleveland election of
18!I2 was ... .......220,5!18
The total vote in 1394 is...........215,88<S
A falling off of 4,712
The next thing which we find is
that the votfr-nmjAiy the pop¬ J
ulists this year is -- - 91,896
Harrison and Weaver vote . 91,244
Leaving a net gain of only 152
Two years ago the republicans
refused to endorse the populists.
This year they did, and voted with
them solidly, and with all the fan
fire the opposition to democracy
has only gained 452 votes in two
years.
But let us go a little further.
In the Cleveland election in 1892
the total vote east was..........220,5il8
I 11 the Northeu election ... .209,482
A difference of ..11,040
These figures represent 11,046
republicans ancl populists who did
not take the trouble to vote. Add
these to the 68,990 who voted for
Peek, and we have 80,036 which,
subtracted from the 91,244, which
was the strength of the opposition
to democracy, leaves us 11,208 re¬
publicans and populists, who voted
for Governor Northen.
With all the sophistries and confusion
swept away, we And that the real demo¬
cratic strength in Georgia is.......129,386
We voted this year ...... 124,490
A falling off of 4,890
Subtract this from Cleveland’s
majority over the combined ele¬
ments of opposition to democracy,
all of which voted solidly for the
populists this year, and you have
left, 33,248, which is a gain of 154
votes for democracy as between the
two parties in two years.
Point the next blatant yawper
who talks to you about “the great
slump” to the figures, and tell him
that the opposition to democracy
has gained only 153 votes in two
year#, and that 5,000 democrats
staid at home in October who will
be on hand alive and well in No¬
vember, and again in January, and
snow his party under by: the same
40,000 majority we gave Cleveland
in 1892.—Georgia Cracks*.
The Columbus Enquirer thinks
that “the ringing slogan now of
the Americus Penny Press is
‘Garrard and home currency.’ It
will win dead sure.” To which
the Griffin News makes answer:
“We are not so sure of its winning,
but it has a very pleasing, sound.
Mr. Garrard is the author of the
plank demanding the repeal of the
state bank tax, and is one man on
the stump who has not lost sight
of the moat promising of all the
proposed remedies of our financial
Uls. Without evading the silver
issue, he has not allowed its fruit¬
less and bewildering discussion to
draw his attention from the strong¬
est and most unanimous demand In
the south at the present time. The

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it he
measured by the cost of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are- talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. ICs so
cheap and so good you can’t afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it It prints all the real news of
the world—the news you care for—every day,
and prints it in the shordbst possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day’s
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word — it’s a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west—125,000 to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University saysi “THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideaI daily jour¬
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores. ”

scriptions received by aU postmasters. Address
