The Legality of Submitting the Equal Suffrage
Amendment, Legal.
HURON, Oct. 17—FRIEND OF EQUAL
SUFFRAGE: The question having recently
been raised as to the legality of the man
ner in which the suffrage amendment is,
submitted, owing to a clerical error in
the House Journal, ,,Section 1" being
made to read "Section 2," I wish to say
that the error in no way invalidates the
election on woman suffrage. The mistake
is so plainly a clerical error that no court
of jurisdiction need be feared to give
oilier tlian a decision in favor of the
legality of the election should it be con
tested. The best legal talent in the state
has given the opinion that the question
could be legally voted upon, even if the
legislature had failed to pass any bill to
submit The enemies of justice and
good government will no doubt make an
effort to prevent a vote -on the question
by the cry of "illegality," but our friends
must remember that it is the last hope of
a retreating l'oe. and a sure presage of
the victory that will be ours Nov. 4.
Yours to win,
PHILENA EVERETT JOHNSON.
MALICIOUS SLANDER SAILED. •,
Mr. Goltry Denies the Charge That He Has Kept
Balloon and Proves the Denial,
Among the slanderous falsehoods
circulated against Mr. W. H. Goltry, in
dependent candidate for superintendent
of schools, is that he had formerly been
a saloon keeper in Iowa. The following
communications from Mr. Goltry himself
and his neighbors and friends, who have
known him for years, will effectually
obliterate this slander in the estimation
of the public
BEHESFORD, Oct. 22, 1890—MR. EDITOR: I
was informed by two parties that the report is
being circulated that I have been a saloon
keeper. If I were acquainted with all the
voters of Lincoln county, a denial of such a re
port would not be necessary, but os I am not, I
will Say that such report is false and without
any foundation whatever.
It is plain to see that such a report is started
to injure me in the present campaign.) Now
Mr. False reporter. I would to have you tell
the voters of Lincoln county through the Can
ton Advocate, when and where I was engaged
in the saloon business, and sigh your name.
lon't sneak around behind the bush, but come
out and face the music.
The News said I did not attend the teachers
institute. I did attend last year and my name
was on the list. ..
•VI^V W. H. GOLTRY.
MR. EDITOR, I understand that some one has
clrcluated a report that W. H. Goltry has been a
saloon keeper. I have known Mr. Goltry ever
since he was a boy, and he has been a strong
advocate for the temperence cause, and that
said report is a malicious falsehood.
D. F. BENJAMINS.
In support of the acove denial, I
will say that
I became acquainted with W. H. Goltry seven
teen years ago while he was principal of the
Vermillion graded school, and have known him
ever since, and that the above report is not
based on any foudation whatever.

THE PEOPLE AGAHJ DECEIVED-
The Wall 8treet News Disolqses the Nigger In the
Wood Pile.
For the past two months the indepen
dent speakers and newspapers .have de
nounced the recently adopted silver bill
as a gigantic fraud upon the people and
have explained their position in no un
mistakable lauguage. The republicans,
on the other hand, have defended the
silver bill through all the storms of. at
tack and have constantly held it up to
the people as the saving grace of
the country, and in the docu
ment by curtesy called their county plat
form. the republicans of this' county take
particular pains to laud it to the sky in
order to vindicate the corrupt records of
their representatives and senators in con
gress from this state. But now comes
the Wall street News, among the highest
attainable authority on the subject, and
tells the following shocking and deplor
able tale out of school:
"It is estimated that the use of silver
has put into the pockets of Senators and
representatives of the fifty-first congress
81,00b,000. The largest amount of in
dividual profit is 9273,000. That goes to
the credit of a western senator. The
smallest amount is $3,000. Twelve sen
ators and fifteen representatives partici
pate in the handsome clean up of a sure
thing speculation." One of the most ac
tive lobbyists for silver legislation makes
the following statement, which he claims
can be depended upon as strictly true and
accurate:
"We were figuring up the other day
the extent of the deal and the profits on
it. We found that before the silver bill
became law the amount of silver taken in
by the various pools for the expected rise
was 40 million ounces. That is our en
tire product for eight months, you know.
The pool I am in bought some at a little
less than 95. The rest cost us something
more than 95. The average for the whole
was about 97. August Belmont and his
friends got in at from 95 to 98. Silver
has been at high as 120. I think 20 cents
an ounce is a fair estimate of the profits
of the pools to this time. Twenty cents
an ounce on 40 million ounces is 8 mil­
lion dollars. Well, that represents the
profits made by the New York and
Washington pools ou the advance of .siI
YGJ,
The largest pool of all, probably, was one
which took in seven United States sena
tors and a number of New York capital
ists. That pool had 9 million ounces.
The others holdings were small, but
altogether they made up 4 million ounces
bought and held for the rise, which we
knew was as sure as sun rise if congress
passed a favorable silver bill."
It appears, in the light of these dis
closures,- that the silver bill, for which
the adminstration has taken to itself so
much credit, was largely in the nature
of a private speculation, in which twelve
senators and fifteen congressmen shared.
This matter should be thoroughly investi
gated, even though it should entail the
expense, of criminal prosecution.
h: TO INDEPENDENT VOTERS.
Chairman Holter, of the County Central Committee
Imparts a Word of Warning.
The indications are that there will be
several different independent tickets in the
field on election day, all the different fac
tions are catering to their own pets and
are applying all possible means to catch
the votes. The independent party ticket
will be headed: REGULAR INDEPEN
DENT TICKET.
The place for permanent capital will be
left blank on this ticket, to be filled at the
choice of the individual voter, .as tue
choice of capital is not a party issue.
The offices of county judge, states attor
ney, county coroner and surveror will al
so be left blank for the voter to fill,or not,
at his own choice. All the traps to encase
the party have proven fruitless she is
still wearing her virgin clothing unsoiled
and expects to move onward with a clean
record.
The voter should exercise the utmost care
in examining the constitutional amend
ments at the head of the. ticket, and see
that his true sentiment is carried out in
every one of them by erasing the right
word, Either "yes" or ."no" as the case
maybe..'
Every identical name of the several can
didates should also be examined in order
to be convinced that the ticket is genuine.
A sfficient number of genuine tickets will
be furnished at every voting place.
