ABSTRACT OP THE OFFICIAL CANVASS
Pf the votes cast In Lincoln County, Nebraska, at the general election, Tuesday, November 3d, 1885: ,
THE RESULT.
The result of the election in
Lincoln county in some respects
was not a surprise to those who had
watched the course of events, and
yet the wholesale slaughter of the
Republican ticket -was not expected
even by the most sanguine of its
opponents. The cause of this was a
deliberate-intention on the part of a
strong Republican faction not to
support a ticket dictated by Mr.
Patterson, and although he did not
in all cases dictate the nominations,
yet the people were made to believe
that such was the case, taking a
prominent part as he did in the
convention, and voted accordingly.
That there is a good Republican
majority in the couuty no one
seems to deny, and personal con
siderations being equal, it should
naturally follow that Republicans
would be elected. The vote on
county clerk proves this. Both
candidates were unexceptional
gentlemen and this vote is a pretty
good test of party strength. The
vote shows plainly that either party
nominations must be entirely done
away with, or the people must come
out and take part in the primary
elections that their wishes may be
properly represented in the selection
of candidates. Such a course will
insure, party harmony and success.
But as long as the selection is left
to the dictation of "bosses" divisions
are certain and defeat is sure to
follow. The voice of every man is
entitled to a respectful hearing, but
the overwhelming defeat jus$
experienced is conclusive that the
people' will not tolerate one-man
power. It is time for Republicans
to begin to consider this matter,
especially in the country districts,
and put forward their best and most
conservative men in an honest
endeavor to form a united party
and a sure victory in time to come.
Soke of the candidates were of

what he thinks about it yet.
It is expected an effort will be
made this winter to procure the
location of a government land
office" at Sidney, "unless a portion of
the northern part of Colorado is
included in the district it is doubtful
if there' will be business enough to
warrant' the ..establishment of the
office.
The Sudden deatli of Gen. Mc
Clellan has changed the plans of
the President in regard to reorgan
izing the civil service commission.
He had intended to appoint the
General, to the head of tlie commis
sion, but it is now quite probable
that the chief place will now be
tendered to Judge Maynard, the
present " second controller of the
treasury.
The railroad commission has
about completed its duty of making
a personal inspection of the tracks
and depot facilities of the various
roads in the State and will embody
its findings in annual report to the
governor. The people are watching
with .some in teres b to see if the
recommendations of the board are
complied with. So far as we have
noticed these have been reasonable
and fair. The railroads will
certainly find it to their interest to
comply with the recommendation,
and it is believed it is the intention
to do so as soon as practicable.
Cleveland went to Buffalo to
vote .at the New" York election
Tuesday. This custom inaugurated
of late years, will do very well
where the distance is short as in
the present case, but suppose the
President was from Nebraska or
some State even farther west, he
would- practically be disfranchised.
We suggest that for the benefit of
the President and other officers in
the employ of the government, polls
be opened in Washington, the
citizens of each State voting the.
same as at home. This would be a
great convenience and obviate
the necessity of long journeys.

few incidents which go to prove
that civilization does not civilize in

from different sections of the

influence prevails everywhere, and
that even our own fair state of
Nebraska is not an exception.

Gov. Pierce of Dakota has made
his annual report to the secretary of
the interior. Since the taking of
the census in 1880 the population
has increased from 135,180 to
416,000. The general condition of
business is greatly improved. The
wheat average is less than last year.
Comparatively few of the clerks
in the departments at Washington
went home to vote. It is stated
that railroad tickets were offered to
numbers of colored men if they
would go to Virginia and vote for
Mahone. -Large delegations are
said to have accepted the offers.
At the national Women's Chris
tain Temperance Union, in session
at Philadelphia, Miss Frances
Willard was elected president, Mrs.
Caroline B. Bell, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge
recording secretary; and Mrs.
Esther Pugh, treasurer. It was
resolved to start a German temp er-

Gen. McClellan's remains were
received at Trenton by a large
concourse of people, who followed
the funeral cortege, to the cemetery.
There Was an elaborate display or
flowers at the grave. The Rev. W.
A Markland ot .Baltimore read tne
funeral service of the Presbyterian
church and the Rev. John Hall of
Trenton offered a brief but lmpres-
.sive prayer.
A number of Grand Army posts
have agreed to change Decoration
Day to Arbor Day and to plant
trees instead of strewing flowers.
The tree craze as it is called by its
enemies, cannot spread too fast for
the interests of the west where the

millions of acres of virgin soil from

productive farms.

In Dooley county, Georgia, a
colored man, for merely threatening
the lives of one or two persons, was
tied naked to a tree and flogged to
death.
In Mexico a murderer was com
pelled to walk a mile on feet that
had been flayed into shreds. His
ears and nostrils were cut off, his

torn into peices.
In .New iork only as long ago as
Sunday last, a Chinaman was found
murdered. The assassin used a
butcher's cleaver. The dead man's
body was gashed by nine heavy
blows, severing five of his ribs,
cleaving the heart, kidneys and in
testines, and the head crushed into
an unrecognizable pulp, eighty
pieces of his skull being counted by
the coroner.

commissioners has -Been submitted
to the secretary of the interior, and
shows that the work of the past

results. The point has surety been
reached where no person living in
polygamy can vote or hold office.
Notwithstanding this nearly all of
the officers chosen at the last elec
tion were Mormons w:Ho, although
they do not actually live in poly
gamy, subscribe to th"e doctrines of
plural wives. 1 The commissioners
say there have been liiyt few polyg
amous marriages during the past
year, but this arises '-from the en
forcement of the present laws and
not from any change of sentiment
on the part ot -the Mormons.
Should any weakness be shown in
enforcing the daws), the report
states that polygamy marriages
would be as frequent aver. The
course of certain pojygamists in de
claring their intention of obeying
the law in the future has aronsed
the wrath of the church. This
shows evidence of internal dissen
sions and is an encouraging sign.
The commission urges that no step
