Fremont. June 9. 183.
The Journal named Dorsey and lira
dy, yesterday evening, as the republi
can candidates for 1884. It probably
forgets that these men were prosecuted
bv a republican administration and
cleared by a iurv. two-thirds of which
were democrats.
The Ohio democratic convention is
in favor of a "judicious and properly
craded license system" in "regard to
the liquor traffic. In the democratic
lexicon, "judicious and properly graded
when applied to the liquor traffic, meats
just as about as little regulation as one
can possibly dream of. It is a meaning
less phrase, and is intended only for li
cense democrats. The liquor men will
all vote for such a platform, for they
expect their kind of lellows will "prop
erly grade' it .
Si'EAkino of Judge Hoadly, the dem
ocratic nominee for governor of Ohio,
the editor of (he Omaha Herald calls
him the "matchless candidate." We
were at a loss to understand the Her
ald's rhapsodies over this democratic
prodigy, until It leaked out the other
day that this man Hoadly, was the only
democratic lawyer in the United States
who had cheek enough to get up an ar
gument. in defense of red nosed Croain,
of Oregon fame, who attempted the
feat of national larceny, by stealing
the electoral vote of Oregon for Mr.
Til den and reform .It is clear to
ns now.
In the ground scuffle for place, had in
the Democratic Convention in Ohio,
day before yesterday, that sturdy old
bourbon, Allen G. Thurman, he of the
" red bandaner," made a manful fight
for his old friend Durbm "Ward, and
warned the Ohio Democracy not to
nominate the other fellow, nor
' trim " in making up their platform ;
yet the old man was unceremoniously
sat down upon ; the other fellow was
nominated, and an evasive platform
was promulgated.
The Democratic hope of carrying
Iowa is no doubt a slim one. The sit
uation, however, does not justify the
Republicans in taking any more risks
than are necessary. Their majority
has gra lually dwindled for a few years
past. Formerly a solid Republican
delegation to Congress was naturally
expected from the State. This custom
was broken by the Greenl.ackers, and
in the next House there will be one
Greenback and two Democratic Rtp
resentatives. The Prohibition ques
tion may cause a still further diminu
tion of thaparty's strength. The cam
paign this year will be the most earnest
the State , ever witnessed. While the
Republican State ticket is probably
safe, it would not be surprising to see
the party's candidate for Supreme
Court Judge defeated. If such a re
sult ensues and the Republicans are
weakened, it will be caused manifestly
by allowing a few extremists too much
influence in party councils. N. Y.

GERMAN VOTERS AND THE OHIO
LIQUOR LAWf.
The Scott law was approved by the
Ohio Republican convention, and no
fair-minded republican can discover in
that any tendency toward ''ultra sumpt
uary legislation." The howl that is
raised ogainst the operation, of the law
emanates altogether from the liquor
and beer brewing interests, which do
net want any reduction in the number
less gin and beer mills of the larc
cities. The "beer drinkers are not af
tected in the least by the law, neither
in point of quantity to be drank, nor
price to be paid for the article con
sumed. As far as the German Ameri
can voters are concerned, it has been
observed that they begin tfl recognize
in this continued opposition ot the dis
tillers and brewers to all fair and
equitable legislation that tends to regu
late the liquor and beer traffic the fact
tnat their votes are only the political
capital with whish it is sought to en
force special claims of exemption from
taxation. The license of 8100 imposed
on a beer shop by the Scott law is not
in any sense prohibitory, nor dqeq t
place a stigma upon the lusines, as the
brewers woatd like to have their dupes
believe. The whole question Is simply
one of revenue, and the manufacturers
who hail the establishment of each ad
ditional gin mill or beer shop with
anticipations of increase! profit and
gain, are naturally opposed to the im
position of tax. That it Is becoming
plain to the average German beer
driukers, and sooner or later they will
decline to be made the political foot
ball of beer manufacturers who. cre fr
nothing but the increase of (heir own
wealth and capital. New York Repub-ihcaner.

Mrs. J. N, Wise: Dear Sister I
have just come to tlie hour, and really
the first one, when I conl-1 fulfTil my
promise to tell you something of my
work in the state
As some of my appointments prove
to be (like one stormy W. C T. U. so
ciable) disappointments. I will only
mention a few.
Merc and more, as I ps over tlie
face of tliis beautiful stale, and see tlie
evidence of its marvelous growth, its
cities and villages, springing up in a
day; and its very trees that beautify
their streets, confirming tlie faith in
the wonderful gourd that sheltered the
prophet at Xinevah, do I feel that this
must have been in the dim distance,
when the prophet's eagle eye caught
the vision of a "wilderness that should
rejoice and blossom as the lose." I
grow to appreciate Nebraska as never
before; and yet, though I go away out
toward the mouutains or to the far north
west, where the Union Pacific has scat
tered so many blessings, in spite of tlie
many cursings it has received, if I stand
and look at the newly opened streets of
the town of a day, or rest in the homes
that have been builded a whole decade,
I am frequently brought to see the pic
ture as Moore has drawn it of tho Peri
standing at the gate of Paradise and
listening to the angel "poor race of
men" said the pitying spirit, ''dearly
ye pay for your primal fall. Some
flowerets of Eden still ye inherit them
all.".
But the trail of the serpent is over for
right along by the side of the pioneer
who has come to stay, and to build for
himself and his dear ones a homa,
glides the serpent, and when ho has set
his stakes, and begun to bu'ld for the
future, the hiss is heard, build up and
I will destroy; educate your children,
I will degrade them, and as you sit un
der your own ''viue and fig tree" tl ey
shall shelter me.
Nut that they hear these words,
(more's the pity) because' the air is full
of the noise of the saw and the hammer,
and the buzz of machinery, tL-3 hisses
are unheard, but they mean business.
At Madison, I found to my great sur
prise, a verp pretty village, three nice
churches, with good schools and con
gregations, and as intelligent an audi
ence as I have seen in Nebraska. And
yet here the demon of Eum had plant
ed himself by the side of the church
and the school and asked for the sun-
port of the town, as well as the rest o!
the institutions for the public benefit,
and strange to say, men had listened,

resolution, offered by a lady, pledging
the convention to make the effort to
pledge every child in the S. S. Schools
of the State to total abstinence, and
to be more thorough in temperance
instruction, was received with much
feeling, and unanimously adopted by a
rising vote.

The aetion of the Democratic conven
tion which met and nominated a state
ticket at Columbus, Ohio day before
yesterday, will certainly prove a bitter
disappointment to tho free trade wing
how bravely they whistle through the
' -.1 ..T Al....- 1.1 A...1
gravuyaiu ui men unisiiu iiujn;s unu
expectations. Rut one day before that
convention met, the Omaha Herald, the
mouth-piece of bourbonism in Nebraska
appealed to the democracy of Ohio to
declare against the tarill plan in ringing
tones. Said the Herald :
'Tomorrow tha democratic conven
tion in Ohio will meet to nominate a
'state ticket headed by a governor. It
"is of the utmost importance, not only
"to the commonwealth in question but
"to the country at large, that the men
"and principles advanced on this occa
sion should bo decided, strong and
"sound, and ring the the key note for
"this and. the greater campaign that is
"to follow. The tarilT it is conceded
"will be the coming issue."
The convention met and here is their
declaration upon the "coming issue."
"Wo favor a tariff for revenue, limited
to necessities of the government, eco
nomically administered and adjusted in
its application as to prevent unequal
burdens, etcouraging productive indus
tries at home and afford just compensa
tion to labor, but not to create or foster
monopolies; that acts of the republican
congress reduciong the tariff on wool,
while at the same time increasing it on
woolen goods, was iniquituos legislation
discriminating in favor of monopoly
against agriculture and ought to be
corrected."' A tariff that will enoour
"age productive industries at home and
"afford just compensation to labor, but
"not to create or foster monopolies."
This hasli "ring" to it and may be the
"key note" for the great campaign that
is to follow" but the ring and the note
is that of protection to our "productive
industries", although just what produc
tive means in the connection Tn which
it is used in the platform will most
probably be hard to explain; but
this convention evidently afraid this
declaration in favor of protection was
not strong enovfgh for the intelligent
Buckeye, emphasize it with the further
argument that it may, "afford ju6t com
pensation to labor." Thus we. Siul the
democracyof Ohio,,th.& Mate thatamong j
its "prod. -Motive industries has produced
such blatant free-traders as Mr. F'auk
Hurd, and several other Iroquis chiefs, i
making a declaration on the tariff ques
tion that would suit the most energetic
protectionist from the iron regions of
Pennsylvania; and It this Ohio -key
note " is to be taken as an instruction
to be followed by the forthcoming
National Democratic Convention, pro
tection to home industries is to be a
cardinal tenet of the Democratic faith
for 1SS4. In view of all this, it now
remains to be seen what tho heroes of
the Detroit M diet of isms " are going
to da about that " independent party "
with w hich they were threatening our
Democratic brethren ; and it will be
but fit .and proper for the editor of the
Omaha Herald to invoke the rustling
spirit of our antimonopoliat friend
from " Arbor Springs Lodge " to de
clare hi3 position through its columns
in view of this Ohio heresy; but this
Ohio Democracy go still further and
join lustily in the "Ohio kick;" on the
Wool question, it declares, that the
reduction of tariff 'duties upon wool
is " an iniquitous proceeding. "
We venture the prediction that for
clear dodging and evasive twisting,
the Ohio Democratic Convention,
which adjourned yesterday morning,
has put forth a platform which will
not be equalled by any other conven
tion, during the season of 1SS3.
