Lincoln, June 20. 1884.
The Herald greets its readers once
more upon the eve of our national hol
iday. To our force it means a day of
rest and glorious recollections. The
Herald will celebrate the morrow,
remembering that this great, broad,
rich, fertile, free, happy aud enlight
ened nation contains more miles of rail
road, of telegraph aud telephoue lint s
more school houses, more school mas
ters, more school children, more news
papers, more grand opportunities for
man, more Fourth of July orators,
more politicians, and more fire crack
ers, with less ignorance, less unhappi
ness, less treasorj, less poverty, fewer
poor house?, fewer houses of correction
fewer prisons, and fewer tramps than
any other nation upon the face of the
globe.
All of our good people should ob
serve tomorrow, not, as the weather
prognosticator who only looks into the
future for the purpose of divining
the shado vs and disasters that await
man and product upon both land and
sea; but as the philosopher, who visits
the field -:d garden, who turns man's
attention Vom things human, to things
divine, gvhming lessons of wisdom,
and m-Jioiits of happiness from Na
ture's iuli-iite, inexhaustible storehouse
of grand, glorious creations, thoughts
and ins; ir:itionp.
Liberty U a flower plinted by our
Fathers upon this continent, which,
through frosts aud cruel seasons, has
blossomed forth, until its germ is im
plauttd lo the hearts ot millions of de
votees, willing and strong enough to
uphold the grand emblem of our free
institutions against all its enctnici.
Liberty U that flower no beautifully
aud gloriously described by Oliver
Wendell Holme?, when he situ s,
What flower is tins that gleets the iiini.
It huei from heaven so freshly hour.'
With buruiii s'.ar and flaming brand
It kindles all the sunset laud ;
O, tell us what Its name may be !
Is this the Flower of Liberty?
Thy acred leaves, fair Freedom's Flower.
Shall ever flout on dome and tower.
To all their heavenly colors true.
In blackening frost or crimson dew--And
tJod love us as we love thee.
Thrice holy Flower of Liberty.
Then hail the banner of the free,
1 he starry Flower of Liberty.
Hence the IIek.vld greets its readers
and abjures them to cast aside the cares
of business, the perplexities of every
day life, and to devote the morrow to
their country and her proud traditions.
Call your boys and girls too about
you and recount your country's glorious
achievements; teach them to love and
honor its Huff ; tell them why they cele
brate this day, and why it should be
kept ever fresh and green iu the memo
ries of a free people; and rest assured
you will have done something, devo -ted,
though it may be, but a few brief
moments, to perpetuating American
institutions.
The Cleveland Leader says: Tne
Ciucinn-iti Enquirer, in a double lead
ed editorial, advocates the nomination
of Gov. Hoadley as the democratic can
didate for president. . Gen. Durbiu
Ward, being the lirst delegate-at large
e.'ected by the State Convention, should
head the delegation and be its chair
man, and he is supposed to be irrecon
cilably ODposed to Hoadly. It is oe-
lieved that over half the Ohio delega
tion to the coming national democratic
convention will oppose Gov. Hoadly.
The Enquirer, however, says that the
Governor, "since he came to the demo
cratic party, has been a consistent,
earnest democrat." If we remember
correctly, the Enquirer entertained a
very different opinion of the same gen
tleman about a year ago. It then said :
"Geo Hoadly is a five year old dem
ocrat, out of the Abolitionist, out of the
Free-Soilers, out of the the Republi
can?, sired by ambition, and d unned
by all the Bill Allen Democracy; owned
by George II. Pendleton, and backed
by a bait, and handicapped by his rec
ord. He ran in the great meeting of
1880 at Cincinnati for second place and
iroke his back. lie is being groomed
by the famous stableman, Alexander
Sands, and will be ridden in the race
by the celebrated jockey of Xev York,
Samuel J. Tilien. Colors, old gold
(and plenty of it.)
"What an impetus the approaching
Democratic Xational Convention has
given to the movement for the adjourn
ment of Congress! For months the
democratic majority in tho House
fought shy of business. The Republi
can National Convention did not ac
celerate their action. Even the pros
pect of hot weather in .Washington
aud the m tlarial influences of the Po
tomac flats failed to stimulate their en
ergy. But now that the Democratic
Convention is at hand the democrats
are willing to do anything necessary to
warrant an adjournment. They ac
cede to Senate propositions in confer
ence committees which they had de
termined to fight to the bitter end.
They rush through bills without exam
ination, want the Senate to do the
same. They even certify the passage
of bills which failed to pass, as in the
case of the "backbone" land grant bill.
There is a hurly-burly in Congress to
get through and enable the democratic
politicians to come to Chicago and
watch their personal interests next
week. But what a comment all this is
on democratic alms and purposes!
The party in control of the House has
exhibited utter indifference to public
affairs, aud has neglected urgent mat
ters of legislation for seven months, but
scrambles for a precipitate adjourn
ment in order to take part in a party
conclave. Is a party which has no
higher appreciation of its duties and
responsibilities to be intrusted with the
full control of the Nation's affairs?
