REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
The republican electors of the
ntate of Nebraska are requested to
cend delegates from their several
counties, to meet in convention in
the city of Lincoln, Thursday, Sep
tember z4, 18U1, at lu o clocK a. m.,
for the purpose of placing in nomi
nation candidates for one associate
justice of the supreme court, and
two members of the board of re
gents of the state university, and to
transact such other business as
maybe presented to the convention
THE APPORTIONMENT
The several counties are entitled
to representation as follows, being
based upon the vote cast for Hon
Geo. II. Hastings, for attorney-general
in 1890, giving one delegate-at-larire
to each county, and one for
each 1.T0 votes and the major frac
tion thereof:
Senator (JUAY can do more in
live minutes, so to speak, to boom
Gov. Pattison for the presidency
than Gov. Hill can in live months.
It is (Juay who made him a presi
dential possibility in the first place
Globe-Democrat.
Do not speak unkindly of Grover
Cleveland. He is going to help
McKinley, having been billed for
six speeches during the canvass in
Ohio. His meetings will be under
the management of the democratic
party, but V. J. McKinley will be
the beneficiary.

THE St. Louis papers are making
a vigorous complaint against sme
of their citizens going to New York
and Paris to trade, especially in
carpets and household furniture.
Nobody seems to be happy. We
had supposed that when Platte
mouth people went to Omaha to
trade they were alone in their vil
lainy, but now we are told St. Louis
is afflicted even worse. We should
take comfort from the fact that our
folks trade in Nebraska and don't
go to New York and Paris as the St.
Louis people do.

Good News!
THE IlEKALK has always had
a high regard for John
Watson but we believe lie made a
mistake when he stirred up party
politics bj' projecting this "gover
nor business" onto public notice.
He claims to have been moved sole
ly by the demand which came to
him by letter from leading republi
cans all over the state. The public
would like to know the names of
these "leading republicans" (r) who
have been stirring up the chairman
of the state central committee, a:
there is a lingering doubt in the
minds of the people as to the de
mand having come from more than
three or four nleii. and some of
them now refuse to stand by it.

PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE.
Tin-: speech of General James S
Clarkson at the reception tendered
him on his safe return from Kurope
had in it that broad spirit and true
American ring which touches
men's hearts, if heart they have
As President of the National Kepub
lican League, his utterances natur
ally attracted attention in advance
as reflecting the spirit of the great
national organization of which he
is the head.
He came back from his European
trip prouder than ever of America
and American institutions. As he
happily said, the American who
goes abroad to study other nations
finds that the American is a com
posite of the better races of Kurope
and the discovery tends to broaden
him and make him still more an
American. .
In the course of his address Gen.
Clarkson showed his own broad
American spirit by declaring that
"Any enterprise which depends for
success on human beinge must
have humanity represented in its
standard-bearer. Give us breadth
and increase the growing breadth
of the part3r. The recruiting field
of the republican party extends
everywhere. The party is growing
more tolerant in every wa3r, and we
are gaining many thousands of
Irishmen, and there are half a mil
lion of Irishmen in the democratic
party that belong to us. I am of
Puritan origin and Protestant faith,
but I have as much faith and con
fidencein the patriotism and loyalty
of the members of the Catholic
church as of any other denomina
tion in America. Kvery battlefield
in America has been wet with
Catholic blood, shed in defense of
the Republic."
These were sentiments worthy of
the American and Christian patriot
that General Clarkson is. They in
terpret the constitution aright.
They wake responsive chords in the
souls of all true Americans, Catho
lics and Protestants alike. They
are sentiments to tie men s Hearts
together, to rouse enthusiasm, to
lead to victor3'. The3r were charac

feelings entertained by the people
toward thenorih andtoward the old

the o'therday concluded his speech
b3' saying, aud let ever3r honest

in the interest of human slavery, no
regrets for the desolate homes and
disconsolate widows and orphans

now live. Verily the lightn

ought to strike him or any other
man thai dared to utter such sedi
tious language. The fangs and
claws are only covered up; the new

in books and newspapers, as it does
not exist elsewhere.
A CABLEGRAM from London
makes much of the statement that
business property was recently
sold in the English metropolis "at
the rate of $2,500,000 per acre." Chic
ago is only half a century old, but
the English boast is dwarfed by re
cent transactions in realty. The
corner lot upon which the Inter
Ocean Building stands cost $7,500
per tront toot, loia would .mean
at a rate of $8,157,500 per acre. This
sale created so much of a stir that
Fred Leslie, the English comedian,
nightly sighed for "a scarf pin
mounted with a lump of that corner-
lot dirt." The northeast corner of
Clark and Waskington, where the
Reaper Blocs stands, was recently
sold for $100 per square foot, and
the northwest corner of State and
Madison for $92. Botli these sales
would mean over $1,C30,C30 per acre.

wonderful institution to make

of convincing him in regard to the

THE sound money principles will
win again in Ohio. Nothing is
more certain. That state has gone
through more than one fight on the
finanical question and the wise
leadership of John Sherman has
always resulted in victory for the
right. Governor Campbell free
silver platform is sufficient to con
demn him and his party at polls in
October if there were no other is
sues. The home of the man who
brought about the resumption of
specie payments, in the face of a
virulent democratic opposition will
not go back on him now. Campbells
defeat resolves itself into a ques
tion of how emphatic the level
headed people of Ohio wish to con
demn the relict of greenbackism
and free-trade.
