The New York republicans held their state convention at Saratoga Tuesday, and after nominating- state ticket endorsed Levi P. Mor ton as their presidential candidate The -local pops, it is said, are now gathering- political thunder with which they hope to defeat the repub lican ticket. But, like in the cam oaicrn of one year ajro, the slander which they use will act as a boom erang. H. M. Sinclair has received the republican nomination for judge o the Twelfth iudicial district. The Judge has been on the bench in tha district about two years, and has proved a consciencious and impar tial judge. . The Civic Federation of Chicago is about to mak-e an assault upon the dealers in adulterated food. As nearly every prepared article that man eats or drinks is more or less adulterated, it would seem that the Federation is taking aimely step Montana, one of the youngest states of the union, expended seven hundred thousand dollars for com mon scnools last year, wntle gray headed South Carolina spent but five hundred and fifty thousand There is evident need of ai republi can administration in the latter state. There has apparently been only one drawback to the complete sue cess of the state fair at Omaha this week, and that is the, extremely hot weather. But notwithstanding this the attendance has been very large, and the people of Omaha have demonstrated their ability to successfullv conduct a fair ot such magnitude. In eyery county in the state pop ulists are busy circulating petitions asking Judge Maxwell to accept the pop nomination for supreme judge This, it is said, is in accordance with an inferred wish of Mr. Max?- well. who desired to know the per sonal feeling of the members of the party which have put him up as a sacrifice. The -state -supreme court on -0ircaday-iiioiiHiig Uieu US" 'aHClSTD"fl" in the Omaha fire and police com mission case, wiiicn declares tne act constitutional, and finds that Broatch, Vandervoort and Foster are the lawfully constituted board of fire and police commissioners. As might be expected, the decision is not received with good grace by No. 15. M- After all there may not be so much "peanut" politics in regard to the decision of the supreme court as to the Omaha fire and police board as our friend Hosewater would have us believe. In many of the older states certain gubernatorial func tions have been stripped from that office and lodged with a board or commission. Particularly is this true of the pardoning power; and in the case of a knavish or venal offi cer it has worked very well. We have received the consolidated July and August issue of the West ern Irrigator. This periodical is chuck full of matter of interest to irrigators and others, but it would seem that Mr. Stockton is not meet ing with that degree ot success which he deserves in publishing this magazine. We trust, however, that the people of the irrigated dis trict will rally to his support. If you have not seen a copy of the magazine send to the publisher at Sidney for a sample copy. It would not be surprising if the republicans carry Kentucky this year. The democratic vote in that state has been cut down each year since 1883, when the majority given Kiiott over Colonel Morrow was 40,000. Last year the total demo cratic vote on the ten congressmen was 160,380, while the republican vote was 157,197. This year the republicans are showing great in terest in the campaign, and the indications are. that the coming election will cause a break in the "solid south." Indications are that every pre - cinct in the county will be repre sented in the republican convention to-morrow. There also promises to be a large attendance of spectators from the country, and The Tribune would suggest that a ratification meeting" be held in the evening after the close of the convention. Such a meeting would be an excellent starter tor the campaign, which, being short, must necessarily be vigorous.

To-MORito.w atteri o'clock the jre.-. publicans of-Ciucoln county will assemble in convention at the court house and nominate a full county ticket, as well as select delegates to the state and judicial conventions. There are a number of candidates who aspire for" nomination to the several county offices; in fact there is such a large list of available ma terial that it will require sound judgment on the part of the dele gates to determine who should re ceive the nominations. There are several points to be considered in making delegate these selections.- Each should convince himself that the candidate for Tvhich he casts his1 vote possesses eyery necessary qualificatiom for the of fice; that the candidate has a per sonal, political or official record that cannot be successfully attacked by the opposition mud-slingers.and that he will poll at least the full strength of his party. These points should be well considered, so that the delegate may vote intelligently and thus vote for the best interests onus party. io candidate is as great as the republican party of Lincoln county, and to nominate a personal friend who would weaken the ticket would be a costly error. nacn man nominated suould pos- sess quauncations mat will serve to make him a good vote getter not only for himself but for every can didate on the ticket. Republican success in Lincoln county this fall depends largely upon the make-up of the ticket. There are large numbers of voters in the county who deserted the republican ranks four years ago,pwhq will gladly re turn to the parly if an inducement in the way of a ticket composed of clean, straight and well qualified men is presented to them. Let the convention select the ticket with care and there can be no doubt as to its success in November.

Journal. PEPPEBING THE "POPS." A populist exchange asks why it is that reoublican papers are so . r . much harder on the pop than on the democratic paper. The question is not difficult to answer. There is he same difference in fighting the wo parties that there is in fighting a disciplined, well regulated army md a band of bushwhackers. The pops know no law, no rules of fair ness, no such thing as fair play. They take every possible advantage assassinate every opponent, if they can, aud alwavs cheat and deceive he people. They profess fteat honesty and pretend to deplore dis honesty and trickery, and yet as soon as they get into office they be gin to look for something to steal. Thev denounce in most abusive terms the honored leaders of the re publican party and themselyes fol- ow as leaders the worst political renegades and rascals in the world. For these and several other good reasons, a republican would prefer a fight with a square, out and out democrat, who has some fixed prin-l ciples and advocates them, to a scran in the dark with a band of political cut throats.

Chattanooga, Sept. l9.One of the feloodiect battlefields the world ever saw W&s formally dedicated here today as a pleasure park for the edification and Injoyment of the American people for Jul time. It was the dedication of the battlefield of Cbickamauga, whose beautiful ravines and mountain sides Were strewn with nearly 80.000 dead hnd wounded 33 years ago. The dedi cation was conducted by men who, 33 rears ago, fought in that awful strife; (nen who, at that time, sought each Dther's lives; soueht to increase the bloodshed, if necessary, to win the Two generals, with silver gray ' JOHK M. PALMER. hair, who headed thousands or men in the affray on opposite sides, made the principal speeches at the dedication. Brothers of One Nation. They were Generals John M. Palmer and John B. Gordon. The fued which stirred them to a strife then has been blotted out, and today they and their followers are as brothers of one nation and of one family. It is doubtful if the world ever before Baw such a scene as was jthat at Cbick amauga. Certainly there never was one more impressive and joyfully affecting at the same time. It was witnessed by no less than 50,000 people of the north and of the south, aud at least half of them took part in that bloody civil war of which Cbickamauga was a part. The ceremonies took place at Snod- grass Hill, whoso sides for a mile were bo thickly covered with dead 83 years ago that, he survivors say, one could walk all over it from crest to base, Btepmnsr from one prostrate body to another. Hours before the exercises began the battlefield was alive with those who had come to attend the dedication. The first event of the day yras a display of arms by Battery F, Fourth United States artillery. Then there was a bat talion regimental depart showing the new tactics and Held movements, under command of Captain Holland. These exercises at arms were of great interest to th' veteran3, to the "rebels" and "yanks," though tho old fellows expressed tho belief that such taotics t i GENERAL JONH B. GORDON. would have fallen as timothy before a mower it placed against those adopted during tho battle of Chickamauga. Vice President Stevenson Presided. Vice President A. 15. Stevenson pre sided over the dedicatory exercises. When the vice president came forward he was greeted with loud applause. The spot selected by the national commis sion on Snodgrass Hill was so arranged that nearly every one of the tens of thousands of auditors could hear tho speeches and addresses throughout. By Way of beginning there was a national salute of 44 guns by the artillery, fol lowed by the "Star Spangled Banner," played by ono of the United States in fantry bands. It was cheered to the echo by veterans of the blue and the gray, and many of the grizzled veterans Bhed tears of joy. When the applause had ceased Vice President Stevenson made a briof ad dress appropriate to the occasion. When he had finished prayer was Iffered by BA Bev. Bishop Gailor of Tennessee. "America," the beautiful national anthem was then sung by the audience, accompanied by the band, and every one of tho fifty odd thousand people as sembled, both blue and gray, sang it aa if inspired. The great volume of sound rolled up as a great tidal wave, and long before the song was ended tears were coursinL- down the cheeks of thou sands of the old veterans. rirst AddreM by Palmer. General John 31. Palmer, the vener able Senator from Illinois, who, 83 years ago, risked his life on the battle field, made the first dedicatory address. Wf & fom&Annced his voice was husky and ha5 a tremulous sound. Kever in his life, unless, perhaps, when he was directing his men at Chicka macga S3 years ago, did he speak more earnestly, He became grandly eloquent . - 1 ww v.vryiuv.i v as ne advanced in his address and hia was iniiy appreciatea, ana j t frequent inter 'als he was applauded t vunv IUUHOU HUB SUUlCUbO wen? ? touch with him. ither patriotic tune followed Gen eral Palmer's speech and then the bat- Ua-scarred veteran of the Confederacy. whom Lee. called his'right arm," John J3. uornan oi tieorgia, was introduced. ught.

According to the story told by Attorney D. K. Tenney of Chicago, W. W. Taylor, the embezzling treasurer of South Dakota, now under sentence of five years in the peniten tiary for his theft of $3?,000 of the funds entrusted to his official care, lost his nerve and patience at the critical hour and unceremoniously fled. His crime would, in all probability, never have been made public and ho today -would be a free man. Air. Tenney, who acted as Taylor's legal advisor, and who Is himself under indictment at Pierre, S. D., for conspiracy to defraud tne state, says that had Taylor remained here 24 hours louger the whole matter would have been quietly settled. John T. McChesney of New York, one of the ex-treasurer's bondsmen, last December was told of the shortage and, with Tenny, attempted to secure the $150,000 nUessary to settle. The $100,000 was quickly secured, but Tay lor failed in getting the last $50,000. McChesney went to St. Paul to raise it, and while there Taylor lost his nerve and fled. Twenty-four hours later Mc Chesney reached Chicago with the money, but Taylor had gone and the exposure followed. Yoixnjr Millionaire tost a Cheek. Newcastle, Colo., Sept. 19. W. B.

A project to hold an occidental and oriental fair in Taconin in the summer of the year 1900 has beeu decided unon as a result of the great growth in the oriental traf fic which has so increased in three years that 120,000 tons or 400 train loads of freight from and going to the orient will be handled by the Tacoma-China line this year. Congress will be asked early in the next session to appropriate $ 500,000 for tho fair on the ground that the Pacific coast is entitled to an appro priation for a fair.never having had one. To Knock Oat Grain Hates. San Prancisco, Sept. 19. The Ex aminer says tnac tne bouthern Pacific wi'l apply to the "United States supreme courts to prevent the new rates on freight established by the railroad com mission from going into effect. The constitutionality of the commission will not be attacked, but the ante-election pledges of the two Democratic mem bers of the commission will be cited as evidence that they are prejudiced, also the fact that Commissioner La Rue is a heavy grain shipper, and therefore an interested party will be brought out. nops a Half Crop In Washington.
