SnowALTEU for clerk of district court and Dr. Siggins for coroner are the only nominees from the east end of the county and Dr. Siggins is so recent he can't count. It is said that Field Marshal Sherman 13 very proud of his county treasurer. If there is any one thing our neighbor dotes on, it is finances. How would Bro. Slier man do for deputy treasurer, any way? Wiggins for weather, and Iliggins for treasurer! It seems to us, speaking in a Pickwickian sense, that about all there is left of the democrtic party in Cass county is Iliggins and Wiggins.. The judicial convention meets in Liu coin Oct., 5th at 4 o'clock in the after noon. Judge Chapman has no opponent for a renomination, and A. W.

The head of the man who pened the foregoing piece of idiocy is hereby tend ed the democracy of Cas3 county, free from any duty, except that it be used to found the prohibition soukey. From the reports of the new high li cense law in Minnesota, it is working ad mirably. There has been a falling off of at least one-third in the number of saloons, and the revenue from the liquor traffic is larger than it was under the old system, and the business of the police is less, and public sentiment is strongly in fayor of the strict enforcement of the law. Oxjtino leads off this month with a thoroughly technical and authoritative paper on Fencing. In A Boct with Foils, Mr. Eugene Van Schaick, President of the Knickerbocker Fencing Club, and one of the most expert amateur swords men in this country, presents the exercise in clear and scientifically explanatory language, useful alike to the tyro and the proficient The text is further assist ed by illustrations taken fron instan taneous photographs of maitres cT armes and every position, lunge or parry may be relied on as absolutely correct. JetF Davis has written a letter in which he criticised Senator Reagan for having introduced a Georgia negro "to the ladies and gentlemen of Texas," and Mr. Rea gan replies by admitting that the charge ia true, and excusing himself on the ground that the negro in question "de livered an address which for learning, eloquence and patriotism would have done credit to any white people." The Texas Senator would be much more for tunate than he is if he could always jus tify his actions in this easy and conclusive manner. Qlobe Democrat. Tub republican state convention will meet in Lincoln on the evening of Oct., Cth to nominate a candidate for judge of the supreme court and also to nomi nate two regents of the university. It is generally conceeded that Judge Maxwell will be his own sucessor, though ex-atty. general Dilworth is making a fight for the nomination, .There are several can didates in the field for regent, the most prominent of which is W. A. McAllister, Sf Columbus , a graduate of the umver Sty, and a man that has at heart the best interests of the institution. It is understood that the comptroller of currency will in his next report to con gress suggest au important amendment to the national bank act with a view of pre venting, under severe penalties, the com promising by any bank of any case of misappropriation, embezzlement, misap plication of funds or any other offense which renders officers or employees of national banks liable to criminal prose cution under the act now in force. Such an amendment would be an entirely proper one. It would only be in the direction of a further recoguization of the public nature of such offenses against the community. Crimes of this nature arc public wrongs which affect the tvholo community, and it ought not to be in the power of offenders guilty of them to secure immunity from public prosecution, whether by the favor of bank officials or otherwise. Bankers arc particularly inter ested in the maintenance of a high stand ard of commercial morality, which acts such as those against which legislation is sought cannot but affect unfavorably, and they will doubtless be glad to see the suggestion of the comptroller embod ied in legislation. Bradstrect. Comparative statistics of the pig iron production show the United States to oc cupy second place, with all the con ditions favorable t attaining the lead in a very short timo. In 1873 the pig iron production of Great Britain was nearly three times that of this country, while last year the difference in favor of the former was only a few thousand ton?, and during the first quarter of the pres ent year until the output was checked by the coke strike, the production of the United States was abreat with that of Great Britain. Fourteen years ago .the latter country produced 80 per cent, as much pig iron as all other countries, while the United States produced 22 per cent. In 1880 the ratio respectively was 53 and 43 per cent., a material relative decline on the part of Great Britain and a notable increase on that of the United States. In no other respect has this country made a more marked progress, as compared with other nations, and with the increase in productive capacity now under way, which is far in excess of the efforts being made tn the same line in any other part of the world, it is a ques tion of only a little time when this country will be first in the production of pig iron. Ex. Royalty En Route. Had General Grant, Rutherford Hays or Chester A. Arthur in the palmiest days of republican rule, planed snd ex ecuted the magnificent state journey which Grover Cleveland and party are now enjoying throughout the country, what an infernal yell of rage and ftar would have gone up from the combined democratic throat of the entire country royalty, depotism, aristocracy, waste of the people's money, neglect of state business, "B.vll pups," downright black guardism, would have been hurled at the royal procession from every cross road in the country; yet, Grover Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland and their Kitchen Cabi net can charter one of the finest palace car trains ever run on this continent and with the switches thrown open and the right of way guaranteed on all our rail roads, sweep across the continent heralded and preceeded by t painted programme calling the public together at stated places in a manner excelling that of William of Germany, and the republi can press treat it as an innocent, that electioneering'schcme under the guidance of the national democratic committee and greet his excellency with the respect and courtesy due the great office he rep resents. This is the difference between the political organizations who represent the sentiment of the American people of this day. Mr. Cleveland will doubtless be surpsised at the extent of the territory lying west of Albany and the number of people "out west" and verify for him self that there really are such places as Chicago, Omaha and St. Louis; and for this, all good people in the great North west will be thankful. . Henry Watterson, writing to the Louisvill, Ky., Couricr-Jouni'il, from New York, where he has spent a week studying the political situation, talks with characteristic plainness. The fol lowing is an extract from his letter: If the leaders of the democratic party had possessed the wisdom and the cour age honestly to meet the issues which have given vitality to this labor move ment we should not now be menaced by it. but should have it for an ally. It should never have ceased to be an asso ciate. The timidity and selfishness which have characterized democratic leadership in the east are responsible for its disaffections, and, at the same time, for a delay of ten years in popular edu cation. There is now, however, no help for it. The democratic party must fight its battle next year with the labor vote cast in the scale against it. To do that with any show of success it must put it self right in the comiug session of con gress with the true interests of labor, whether the laborer sees it or not. It must boldly proclaim the truth. It must boldly stigmatize and expose falsehood and fraud. It must yield nothing and f ;cr nothing. The issue is low taxes n gain.-1 high taxes; cheap living against free whiskey; manhood against monopoly. Nor tan we begin too toon, haying delayed already too long. We must show by our acts as well as our words what is the truth that wo are the workingman's only hope, his only friend, his shield and buckler, with brains to know his wants and symynthy to be impressed by them, and no foolish terror at being called hard names lor his anil for our own nukes. Unless the democratic party be a party of the people, bound and sworn to save the people'B country from the money devil, it is a mere bundle of factions, good only for an occasional bonfire. The Convention and The Ticket The republican convention which clos ed its labors in our city Saturday evening was an intelligent, representative body of men. Among the delegates were many old settlers; men, who came to Cass coun ty in territorial days and braved the hardships and perils of frontier life, to better their condition; men who have by their energy, industry and honesty, built up for themselves prosperous homes and business and for the state of Nebraska ono of the wealthiest and most intelligent counties in this young common wealth. Such men were strongly represented in Saturday's convention, and, as was their duty, came together to placo a ticket in the field which the republican party of Cass county can afford to support with out apology. FOR COUNTY TREASURER, Mr. D. A. Campbell of Plattsmouth city, was re-nominated by acclamation. This to Mr. Campbell, is a deserved compli ment to one of the best and most compe tent officials Cass county has ever had in charge of her finances. And, as we are informed, according to an established, and unbroken, precedent, since the days of Shepherd Duke, Mr. Campbell will be given his second term by the people of Cass county. FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS, Mr. William II. Pool, of Elniwood pre cinct, was named without opposition. Two years ago Mr. Pool was defeated for this office, not by the voters of Cass county, but by a blunder of the legisla ture in the passage of an act creating the office of "register of deeds," on account of which, the supreme court of the state declared the act unconstitutional; and, although Mr. Pool was chosen by the electors 'of Cass county by a very large vote, he was thus denied the office. Now, there being no question as to the office itself, the people of Cass county will without doubt re-affirm their work of two years ago. Mr. Pool is a young man of family, about 33 years of age, who has resided in Cass county for the past fifteen years, is well educated and qualified for any business position within the gift of the people of Cass county is a farmer by choice an'l a successful one, although we are informed, he has during the past four and a half years had charge of the lum ber interests of Messrs Beardsley & Clark at Wabash, in this county. FOR COUNTY CLERK, Mr. Bird Critchfield. of Mt. Pleasant pre cinct, was chosen without opposition. Mr. Critchfield, is also a farmer, a bright intelligent young man of good habits, and in every way qualified to suc ceed Mr. J. M. Robinson, the present clerk. If, what the Herald hears of Mr. Critchfield, is half true, our friend Rob inson will find all the employment he can master to hold the democratic vote of Cass county without borrowing republi can votes as he did two years ago. The Herald predicts Mr. Critchfield's election by a handsome majority, FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF 1'UHLIC schools, Maynard Spink was re-nominated by ac clamation. Mr. Spink was comparatively an un known man two years ago, when the re publican party of Cass county nominated him for this office. To-day he i3 know in eve.iy home in the county as a faithful competent superintendent, and a splendid educator, who has the welfare of our educational interests at heart. Maynard Spink is a good worthy citizen in every sense of the word and will be re-elected by a handsome majority. FOR SHERIFF, Mr. JVC. Eikenbary received the high com pliment of a nomination for a third term after a short and close contest with his old deputy, Mr. B. C. Y'eomans of Weep ing Water. Nothing, save Mr. Eiken bary's high qualifications for this office could have overcome the prejudice against a third term and the deserved popularity of Mr. Y'eomans, who is well qualified to till the office of sheriff and who received the unanimous support of that portion of the county where he re sides; and although there was some feel ing among a few of Mr. Y'eomans friends over his defeat in the convention, the Herald believes, the calmer moments of those gentlemen will convince them that Mr. Eikenbary 's nomination came direct ly from the people and that in all fair ness, the nomination being perfectly fair, Mr. Eikenbary should receive their cor dial hearty support. The Herald does not believe our friend the common enemy have any timber in their party that can compete with J. C Eikenbary before the people of Cass county for this effice wliich he h rs so ably adminstcre 1 for four years. YO II CO l , N TT Y J L 1 M i H , Calvin Russell, our bluff, hearty, honest county judge, was renominated over the aggressive young attorney, Mr. Woosley, of Salt Creek precinct. The fact if, the people of this county understand the fidelity with which Mr. Russell has dis charged the duties of county judge; that his office is in excellent condition; that estates of decedents are speedily, honestly and correctly administered up on and closed up; that civil business is transacted on that principal; that he is always to be found at his office; and last but not least, that when the young men of Cass county seek to wed, they always find the county judge at his post appreciative of the gravity and solemnity of the occasion. That Calvin Russell will head the list on majorities is our prediiion. FOR C LERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT. Henry J. Streight, one of Cass county's oldest settlers, although but a compara tively young man, was chosen after a short contest with Win. Hayes and Geo. K. Staats. Mr. Streight is a first class business man of much more than average accomplishments, has a largo acquaint ance throughout Cass county, and is a very popular man who6o friends will rally to his support and that of the ticket. On every hand we hear words of com- j mendation Jin regard to Mr. Streight's nomination. for county commissionhr of toe shcond district. Mr. George Young of Mt. Pleasant precinct was chosen over Geo. Switzerof Avoca and Walter J. Cutforth of Louis viile. Mr. Y'oung is a prosperous, w ide awake farmer, an old citizen of Cass county, a good thorough going business man well acquainted with couuty affairs and will make a careful, competent, com missioner. FOR COUNTY PURVEYOR. A. Madole of Stove Creek precinct was chosen without opposition. Mr. Madole is a good civil eugineer and has performed the duties of this office accept ably for the past two years as ho doubt !ess will do the coming two years. Mr. Henry Bceck, present coron r, wfts renominated. Mr. Bo-ck is one of Cass county's oldest and best known citizens and may expect re-election with tho mt of the ticket. Judge Chapman was complimented ly being asked to select the delegates to the district convention of this judicial district and also by a unaniuous resolution of confidence and endorsement. The convention also by unanimous vote in structed the delegates to the state con vention to support Hon. Samuel Maxwell the present chief justice of our supreme court. Judge Maxwell's long and dis tinguished services to the state has made his name a household word with the people of Nebraska and his sterling integrity and great worth entitles him to the respect and confidence of all classes. To displace JudgeM.ixwell for an untried man at this time wetild, In the opinion of the Herald, be a great blunder on the part of the republican party of this state: and, unless scheming politicians and corporation influences secretly con spire to unseat the honest old judge w hile the public unsuspectingly fancy his pos:tion s- crre. Wc have no doubt as to his renomir at'on. One word now B9 to the duty of re publicans; a good representative ticket has been placed in t ie field; ti e private character, the qualifications and the re publicanism of the several gentlemen named are unexceptionable, not a word, we believe, can be said against any man on the ticket. It is well distributed throughout the county. Every man ought to be elected and no good reason can be given for not supporting the ticket as a whole. Our democratic friends cannot place better men in nomination; then, we say, there can be no sensible pre text for republicans going off after the common enemy and voting against their principals and ticket. Local prejudice should have no weight, to gratify a per souul feeling never warrants a man in voting agiinst hi principals. Our clem ocratic friends don't vote that way, and they only hope for success through re publican dissatisfaction with their own ticket on local grounds and prejudices. Our democratic neighbors will ask repub licans in the enst t-ud of the county to vote the democratic ticket; on precisely the same grounds they will ask the west side republicans to also vote the demo cratic ticket while they themselves exhort theirjown rank and file to vote from princi pal for a democrat first,last and allihejtime. We have not been very long in charge of the Herald, but we are told tho fore going is the fact and we want to a-sure our republican friends that unless the Herald has a better reason than "county seat" prejudice or local prejudice it will be fund supporting tne regular ticket when good men are honestly placed thereon. So, we say, to republicans bury all disappointment, all local differences and support the ticket straight and square and once more place your party in full position of county affairs which, by the right of majority belongs to us.

It- is amusing to sec how the western country editors kick and abuse the pres ent tariff made by the republican party when just such a tariff was needed, but which every body agrees ought before this to have been remodled and changed to suit the changed condition of the country. They seem to think when they splutter around and say hard things about this tariff that they are fighting the republican party. They forget that all their leaders in the last congress knew that the people both expected and wanted them to change it, and though fhey had a large majority in the house of represent atives and a democratic president to back them they failed to change or modify it in tho least. They'talked a great deal about it and discussed some plans of changing or remodeling it but finally let it bo as it was, not being able to make a better one. They thus adopted it as their child and as the best thing in the way of a tariff that they could give to the country. So that w hen tho demo cratic editors and polititions hereabouts with frantic zeal abuse this tariff they abuse the adopted child of their party and are actually fighting their own party, foolishly thinking they are fighting the republicans but while they themselves may be deceived they cannot deceive the people. A much greater than any of these was sacrificed for his honest zeal in trying to reform thin tariff. There was, perhaps, among all tho democratic members of the late congress none more honest than Mr. Morrison and he honestly tried to induce his paity to give the country a new tariff but they refused all his propositions and efforts to change the present one and his constituants pun ished him for his efforts by failing to re-elect him. Had the last congress have been republican the tariff would have been changed to suit the present condition of things. There would have been u check to the increasing millions going into the treasury. Such industries as needed the fostering care of the govern ment would have been protected and such luxuries as only the rich use would have been taxed for the necessary revenue to carry on the government. Money would now have boen comparatively plentiful, labor better paid and living cheaper than it is. Even tluse western democrats admit that under this tariff which is the best they have yet been able to give the country, it costs the poor twenty-five per cent more to live than it would have done if they had discharge 1 their duty and remodeled it. Who w ants to keep such a party in power? Sure ly not tho toiling millions of the west. The Republican Party as a Free Whiskey Party. By a yery far stretch of the imagination certain parties in this and other states are trying to make it appear to the careless and unthinking, that, because the great majority of republicans are in favor of prohibition, that therefore they are in fayor of free whiskey. And some honest but thoughthss people, even here in Plattsmouth, have taken up that cry, and there are those who have gone so far as to suggest that the democratic war cry 6hall be "down with the republican party because they are for high taxes and fiee whiskey." Such nonsci se would not be worth noticing wen; it not th: t s me good people sometimes hear such things so often that they conclude it may be so. Now the history of the republican par ty is written. Their record is clear. They fought slavery till they destroyrd it. They are the only strong party that ever declared squarely against whiskey and in favor of prohibition, which they have done in several states, and it is admitted by the best informed and bitterest ene mies here in Plattsmouth that "there can be no doubt, but if the republicans had elected a solid state legislature last yenr, Nebraska would to-day have a prohibi tory statute." Now, if prohibition or no whiskey at all, and free whiskey are one and the same thing, then the republican party is a free whiskey party. But if prohibition or no whiskey at all, is not free whiskey, then the republican party is w hat it pro fesses to b an enemy to free whisker, drunkenness, vice and crime, and is the friend of the home, and is squarely against the saloon. It is gratifying to know that the ene mies of the party have to resort to such far-fetched, illogical and untrue charges and arguments. For if they had any grounds for lighting the part for what it is, they would certainly do it with a vim and an energy much greater than they are able to do in their unfair way of trying to make the part' appear to be what they, and all well posted people know, it is not. Who wants to keep in power a party that resorts to such unworthy modes of fighting their opponents? ccrtanly not the temperance and christian masses of the county of Cass and of the great state of Nebraska.
