Lincoln, June 2G. 1884.
" BcTLEU is the only presidential ean
pidate not nominated on Friday, and
yet he will not be elected.
Providence has again saved to the
democracy of Cass couaty, the Journal
Mr. Randall was not nominated.
Mr. Manning's machine exhibited in
the late convention was a perfect one;
dynamite would not have shattered it.
Ben. Butler has yet another con
vention to conquer the prohibition
ists meet shortly in National conven
tion at Pittsburg.
For the ninety-ninth time in the last
few months Dr. Miller has asserted
that he will not be the big Joss of the
democratic party in Nebraska. Vol
umes could not say more.
From latest prospects it is evident
thfit Nebraska's corn crop is going to
be greater than the republican majority
tbia all. This is putting it strong:
but the Nebraska corn crop is becom
ing practically unanimous.
Ocr Ca- county patriots have re-
turned from the Chicago couvention
looking somewhat jaded and weary and
exhibiting to the public a satisfied air.
They have seen the sacred white ele
ihant and ought to be hppy.
The exuberance of our friend Doctor
Miller over democratic results thug far
in the campaign and expectant demo
cratic blis3 is oaly equaled by the child
like prattle that fills the columns of
the-Omaha Herald from day to day.
The religious editor of the Omaha
Republican asserts that ninety five per
cent, of Icgersoli's hearers are believ
ers in his doctr .lies. This is a rash and
reckless statement. No renowned
speaker like the eloquent Ingersoll,
speaking upon social, religious or po
litical doctrines gathers an audience
that believe in the tenets of our faith
to any such extent as that; such audi
ences do not exist, and did they, they
would be of necessity . thoughtless if
MR. HENDRICKS.
Reading tin; speech of Thomas A,
Hendricks as reported to the country
through yesterday's dispatches, upon
the occasion of bis return homo from
the Chicago convention, one is forcibly
aud paiu fully reminded of the double
truth that Mr. Hendricks is not a
Btatesmau, and tli it. furtharmore it is
impossible for that gentleman ever to
become a statesman.
Reading the open book of Mr. Hen
dricks' life as a public man, taking
into consideration his aristocratic sur
roundings, the distinguished fumily to
which he iwlonjrs, the favorable cir
cumtunces which have surrounded
him in all ot his p ublic career, the
eveutf ul period in his country's history,
of which he has been a factor, and into
which the great state of Indiana intro
duced him with its letter of credit and
endorfement, any man might well be
proud of, one cannot but experience a
keen disappointment that this public
man should have attained no higher
position among the men who did be
come illustrious both oa account of
their statesmanship aud loyalty during
that monaentwus period, in which men
were taken un, measured and tried, in
a retort which separated the broader,
higher and nobler traits of manhood
and statesmanship, from the narro w,
low and more insignificant instincts
of the partisan and politician.
Thomas A. Hendricks was a promi
nent man iu Indiaua fifteen or twenty
years ago. When his country was in
peril, and called for men of large and
loyal brain, like Oliver P. Morton.
Thomas A. Hendricks had a golden
opportunity to exhibit those qualifica
tions of statesmanship which alone
adorn and belong to truly great men.
When Mr. Lincoln and the country
were relying solely upon the stalwrrt
fidelity of the northern states and their
loyaljsubjects, wheu Indiana was in
fested with lodges of the Knignts ot
theJGolden Circle, and the influence
of that northern and free state was par
alyzed by the traitorous action of a dis
loyal democracy, Thomas A. Hen
dricks had "an opportunity to step
out between the treason of party and
his country's flag, and lead hi3 mis
guided party followers to the support
of Mr. Lincoln and the Union armies ;
yet, not being a statesman, falling to
rise above the bias and prejudice ot lo-
cofocoism, Mr. Hendricks then, and
ever since, ha3 continued to exist as a
narrow and unfair, partisan politician.
In his techuical, pettifogging speech
before the Chicago convention, as well
as day before yesterday at IndianEpu-
lis, Mr. Hendricks failed to point his
democratic followers to a single, in
spiriting mot du gttet like the politician
that he is, like Brutus and Cassius
when facing Caesar and Antony's le
gions, plunder is all Mr. Hendricks has
to offer his followers in case they de
feat the enemy. He suggests that these
republicans should be turned out of
office, because it is unsafe to leave a
party in power too long, and then this
candidate for vice president pathotic
ally calls the attention of Indiana's
democracy to the rumor that there is a
dtlciency in some department of the
government which only a change of ad
ministration can fathom.
Mr. necdnck's speech at Indianap
olis Is but a rehash of the dyspeptic
harangues which distinguished that
gentleman during the rebellion as a
weak, faultfiadiug partisan and dema
gogue.
The Republican Central Committee
has called one convention to do all the
work of the fall, which convention
will meet the 16th ef August at 11 a.
m., at Louisville. This arrangement
ought to ba and we believe will be sat
isfactorily to republicans generally,
aud to all sections of the county.
There is method in the madness of
the excited Omaha Herald in printing
the names of the'nine democratic dele
gates in big, black letters. When
Cleveland is elected you know, every
one of them shall have office and eit at
the bead of the Nebraska table.
Ocr new republican Indian agent,
Judge Kinney, has not let his salva
tion sink into the heart of his son and
heir. Dispatches from Nebraska City
state that the Honorable Tiptoe Kin
ney ratified with the democrats with
apparent great unction.
A democratic exchange shouts that
Missouri is sure for the ticket. This
will be disastrous news to the republi
cans who have confidently counted
upon Missouri under any and all cir
cumstances going democratic for yet
To read Doctor Miller's Omaha Her
aid and enumerate his roistering roost'
ers over the nomination of Cleveland
and Hendricks one is reminded of the
bird that is biggest when first hatched
No one knows better than Doctor
Miller that the Cleveland ticket needs
lots of booming. AVhen the Doctor
gets through with his elevated rooster,
and cffervessing enthusiasm, he will
find plenty to do to keep the plodding
voter from inspecting Mr. Cleveland's
elevated railway opinions In the mean
time the Doctor can -compare Mr.
Blaine's and Mr. Cleveland's war rec
ords, as the bottom baa dropped out
of the Mulligan circular.
