RECENT POLITICAL CONVEFt
SIONS,
Ninety democrats at Lemon t, 111,, on
August 18th, bolted the democratic
ticket and oigcinized an Independent
Blaine and Logan club. They protest
against "unit rule" Clevelaad and free
trude.
On August 15th, George W. Lucas,
i resident of the youna mens' demo
cratic club, of Dubuque, Iowa, and al
so a member of the executive commit
ea of the Cleveland and Hendricks
club of the same city, sent in his reslg
nation and expects to support Blaine
and juoan. The club of which he is
president, numbering one hundred and
forty, inteni to organize a Blaine and
Loan club.
In Buffalo, N. Y.; the home of Cleve
land, seven Independent Democratic
Blaine and Lojran clubs, composed
largely of Irish-Americans, have been
organized.
On August 17th. "NVm. A. Kearney, of
Logansport, Ind., vice president of the
Cleveland and Hendricks club, and a
brilliant young lawyer, withdrew from
ail democratic organizations and will
stump the state for Blame and Logan.
A large number of young democrats in
Logausport, will follow his example,
atd work for Blaine and Logan.
Aug. 19. Col Thomas D. Wright, a
prominent democratic writer and edit
or, came out against Cleveland and will
support Blaine.
Aug. 19:h, C:ipt. Thoma? Ennis, a
well known democrat in Indiana and
Kentucky, joined a Blaine and Logan
club in Madison. Ind.
Judge George M. Curtis, of .N. Y., a
well known democratic campaign ora
tor, says in a letter of Aug. 10th, I am
going for Blaine. When democrats
nominate monopolists to crush labor,
and ignore statesmen to elevate medi
ocrity, it is time for a person who has
a ballot, to vote for a man of brains "
The Fulton County Democrat, of
Lewiston, 111., hitherto one of the most
influential bourbon organs in the etate
of Illinois, ha repudiated Cleveland
and Llendricts. It is satisfied of Cleve
land's moral depravity and cannot sup
port him. It Stat P3 that the apologies
offered in behalf of Cleveland, sre an
insult to the moral intelligence of the
American people.
And still there is more to follow.
The democratic platform, the unfortu
nate selection of national candidates,
and the bad congressional record of the
party since the democrats have had a
majority in the lower house of eon
gress have all worked together for the
good of the country in making converts
to the republican party. Let the good
work go en.

meeting of the board of managers of

Resolved, That any point desiring to
secure the location be also requested to

from any one place.
A resolution was also passed return

ment commander, for their efforts in
assisting the committee and requesting
a continuance of the same,
A further resolution passed request
nig ; nepresentative iiabb to prepare a

Iowa, and the committee adjourned to
meet at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chi
cago, on tne morning of the 16th of
September, at which time all persons
co-operating with them are requested
republish tue foregoing from the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil for the pur
pose ot suggesting to our people, who
have been gossipping about securing
1 IT ...
irus new soldiers' home for Platls-
moutli, that the little dress parade thev
have been witnessing over this matter
would be much more practical in its
application to the question in hand
were it backed up by a sensible and or
ganized effort in tbs shape of a State
move, backed by the influence ofour
whole State.
ken this matter .first came'up the
writer of this mention suggested to
certain gentlemen seemingly (?) in fa
vor of the securing of this New Home
for Plattsmouth exactly tee course
now being pursued by the. leading iu
flential citizens of Iowa. We advised
that immediate steps be taken to have
a meeting of the influential citizens of
the several points in Nebraska which
were taking an interest in this matter
and if possible concert of action be
obtained in favor of this point and the
indorsement of our solid delegation in
CoLgress be at once secured. Inst ; id
of thi we found we were reported by
some of these same individuals as un
friendly to the location of this Home
in our midst, and consequently felt as
sured that our arivi 1jw1 hn
- swvu iuij
wasted ?n the locality in which we had
presuui-.u to icaste it. The Her
ald cares i.ot how much cheap
notoriety is manufactured out of this
matter, if wc could only see intelligent
and systematic effort being put forth
by our people for this home.
Iowa. Kansas, Missouri, and Colo
rado have already visited the locating
commission, we are credibly informed,
and will agair meet with those gentle
men at Dayton, Ohio, on the 18th day
of next month.
Let Nebraska, as a state, be and ap
pear there, not witb a brass band and a
br89y delegation, but with a repre
sentative set of men such as our read
ers may see Iowa select in the person
of ex -Gov. Gear, Coneressman Mc
Coid and other prominent and influen
tial men of that state.
Kansas has, perhaps, done more than
any other state in the district to secure
this home. When the present law was
introduced, in February last, in con.
gress, Senator Plumb, ot Kansas, was
already advocating a bill for the loca
tion of this Home in Kansas, and if
our state imagines it can secure this
home by separate, disjointed and iae-
ated movements by competing points.
in our opinion, we will never secure it.
Let the effort be broad as the state,
and made for the honest purpose of ee
curing this much to be coveted prize

J. HE uemocratic press and damo
cratic campaigners have taken the cue
from Mr. Hendricks, first effort, after
becoming the tail of the democratic
ticket. Hendricks said, a "change" is
demanded that the books may be
turned over to the democracy for ex
amination. There seems to be an ef
fort to make it appear that the business
of the Government is conducted se
cretly, and that the Looks are closed to
bo :Cop'le. and especially to the de
mocracy. This is foolish, yet some are
not sure but the statement is true, that
enormous frauds have been perpetrated
and covered op in the record. The
truth is that the per centum of lots by
dishonesty of officials during the at
four years is less than ever before in
the history of the country
It is easy for tl"0 democratic llouee
of Representatives to know wheiher
such is the case or not. It has full
power to bring before it all officers en
gaged in the collection of revenues and
authorized to disbure them and subject
them to the most critical examination.
It may see every voucher and examine
on oath the person who signed it. It
knows the revenues have all been cor
rectly accounted for.
From 1874 to 1880 there was a stand
ing committee of democrats appointed
by the democratic House to investigate
all republicans both in and out of of
fice. That committee had full power
to send for all persons and papers it
wanted, and it exercised that power
without regard to private rights. To
say that a page of record was left un
examined or a witness unsummooed
where there was anything to be found
which it was even hinted would be
smirch a republican wonld be to do
that committee injustice.
Senator Davis, of West Va., labored
under the conviction that there was an
immense deficit in the treasury. An
examination was made and the books
and every voucher from March 4th
18C1, when the republican party came
into power, was carefully examined,
and even Davis himself was satisfied
that republican officials had been hon
est and the book-keepers correct. The
democrats have not only had a chance
to know, but they have known and r.ow
know, all about the revenues and ac
counts of the Government which it is
possible for any one to know. Yet,
there are men, leading members of the
democratic party in Plattsmouth who
assert it as a fact that the Secretary of
the Treasury makes false and mislead
ing statements or tne nnancea ox tne
Government, and that the only way to
get at the matter is to haye achange,"
and one hundred thousand officers and
clerks, selected at random from the
multitude of ravenous democratic ap
plicants. will be put into places held
now mostly by men of tried capacity
and experience. Any sensible man can
see what the effect upon the conduct of
the public business will be. The whole
administrative machinery of the Gov
ernment will be disorganized atone
fell blow. We want no such "change,
