So:n; time since a story was c;rcu!a?e;l
that Mattton M-irble. edito and roprt!

hcaith- The story wa eltelareu io be uu
fouhueJ, or, at lea-:, greatly exagerat

th.it hi ph'bical tiijuilcs .t.tj slight
an i temporary. Quite the contraiy ol
this, however, seems to b; true. I have
been informed, within two or three days,
that Mr. Marble's 'ailments are more
thin seriou that they are ind.l ot
such a nature a mu.-t ueces.-anly prove
fatal before many months. - ;
The ereutleuian has been feeb'-e, and
at times subject to severe attacks of i 1
hjss for more than two years, and, some
months ano, he appears to ii.ive broken
down completely without any hope of re
covery. His nervous sy.-tem is shatter
eJ, and his head has troubled him sore
by, so much that he was forced la-t
winter to give up work, and whatever
would have a tendrncy to excite him.
Tho-e who have .seen Mr. Marble re
cently fear thai h : may not live until
Chri-twa.s, as he has been rap diy glow
ing worse within a few months, and ha
neither the constitution nor the strength
on which to rally.
It is to be hop. d, thou-r'i not expect
ed, that thee aporeh.-t:-ioiis may prove
unfounded.' tor Mr M-irb'e has labored

ti e village is le utiful, and the church
frame standing there ready for its coat
of siding and shingles, shows that mor
ality and religion have found a home
there. The cars halted there quite early
in the morning, and a passenger bent on
ablution sprang out of the car and ran
to a neat cottage close by, rapped at the
door once .or twice, and no one answer
ing, he made a diva - for a tub of waler
(for it had been raining), and gave him
self a good scrubbing. I thought as I
watched him that perhaps he woul 1 not
improve the dish water that in all proba
bility would be taken from the tub that
morning.
But Nebraska is too large to get the
entire length into one magazine article,
so we will wait fur the rest till next time.

Editors' Ez::i:es.
The plausible reason which editors and
publishers have civen in times past, for
failute to appear at a given date, would
make an amusing volume in the curios
ities of literatere. It is a singular fact,
too, that two or three good exuses are
often found, and that even then the sub-
criber is treated as though no excuse
was necessary after all. Herein the latest
production m this line it is from the

Our own State wiil gie a larger ma

apparent that the Democratic party
would have gained more votes and stood
firmer and better to-day, bad she stood
alone, and uiado the battle on -quart-Democratic
grounds. Honesty pays in
politics as well as anywhere els;, and
good honest Democrats are leaviug the
party by scores because of the trickery
and sale at Baltimore, and throughout
the countrj-, at every State and County
convention.
The Republican party was never so
strong, were never so pure as to-day.
The rascals, omoe hunters and thieves
that always creep into the ranks of a
succes-ful parry, all left us when the
Liberal-Dciucratie move commenced, be
cause they thought it promised success
and there was the best show for plunder
jn the Liberal ranks.
Honest Demoeiats are turning toward
us, and that portion of our party we
could best afford t- lose h ive gone over
to Democracy, thereby leaving the bona
fide, old Republican party, the real party
ol reform, honesty and sure victory.

"Why don't you old maids go out

Why don't we? Goodness gracious,
sir! Do you mean to insult us? Vou

being tied up to .-ome battered hulk and

Jut, let me tell you that we old maids
are not so anxious to many the last man

We haven't lived our three decades for
nothing. Better talk of goiug West to
some of tho.-e timil young fledglings
who have such a mortal horror of being
old maid.s that they would take the

Old maids have cut their wisdom

We do not generally allude to the past
career of Mr. Greeley but in view of
the persistent efforts to prove Gen
Grant a drunkard, and a present taker,
the fo'iowiug record of Mr. Greeley as a
socialist may be pardoued. It is from a
fanatic who is not a politician, but only
anxious to show that all the ereat men
of the age have belonged to his society
This gives his words greater weight.
7 HZ SOCIALIST CAJTKTATE.
C-roeley's Eecord as zrx Enthusiastic Cham
pion ci orierisn.
From the Oneida Circular, August 19.
A correspondent itquires whether our
publications have ever contained any ar
ticles by Horace Greeley ou Fouiieiisui
or fcoeiah.-m. e suspect that the in
quirer is an enthusiastic advocate ot
the ijiweial Kepubhean-Deuiocratic can
didate, aud would be glad to obtain evi
dence that Mr. Greeley has had iittle or
nothing to do with the sociah-tic move
ment in this century ; but it is possible
that heisau enthusiastic Orant man, and
is hunting for evidences of Greeley's
past social radicalism. In either case,
the inquiry evinces a lamentable luck of
familiarity, not only with the past publi
cations of the comuuication. but with
the current literature of the bsst thirty
years, for the introduction ot louner-
ism into this country, and fur the scores
of experiments in practical as-'ociation
which followed, Mr. Greeley is tar more
responsible than any other man save Al
bert Brisbane. He opened the Tribune
to the Fourier propagandists : he wrote
and lectured on Fourierism ; he visited
various associations ; re attended rour-
en-tic conventions ; he became the treas
urer to one association, and offered to
loan Sl2,OO0 to another ; he pledged his
property to the cause ot association; he
carried on in the Tribune a six months'
controversy with Henry J. Uaymoud,
editor of the New York Tinutt, on the
ubject ot beuneristu, in which he de
endtd the principles of the French phi-o.-opher
; and in a thou-and other ways
he expressed his great intere-t in the
cause ot soeia'ism. we have already
ited in th" Circular (see the issue of
May G) the references of the index to
Mr. Noves. 'History of American So

After an hour or two of very lively

MORNING SESSIION.
A rest lution again.-t making any nomi

A resolution against making nomina

x CUIi TICKET.
We hoist to-day the Republican Ticket
of the State, and we may safely adi:
from a personal knowledge of most of
the candidates, that no stronger or bet
ter ticket could have been made.
The convention was a very peculia
one for Nebraska, and contained more
ri f-w men than any convention of the
kind which ever sat in this State. Al
talk of men being nominated by any ring
or "set up" game in that convention is
just idle "gas." The men who were
nominated there were nominated on their
merits, and b3r the same token we shall
carry the State next October by the
largest majority it has ever given yet for
true, honest, out and out Republicans.
CASS COUNTY 'AT THE FAD.
The specialty of the county seemed to
be plums, peaches, and a remarkably fine
pecimen of the penock. This is all the
mention we can make of the 1st class of
Horticulture.
We now come to the 2nd class, con
sisting of peanuts, flower, etc. W. J.
Hesser, of Plattsmooth, had 2d varetics
of roses, ; 7 of heliotropes ; 40 of gera
niums ; 4 of aloes ; in all over 3fK) varil
eties of flowers, and over 150 of cut flow
ers.
We saw also a fine specimen of thec-n-
tury plant, 25 ye .rs old We could nor
wait to see it bloom ; so sorry.
We now come to class 5, Agricultura-
products. Mr. Hesser had 75 varieties
of vegetables, 3 of Irish potatoes, 4 of
sweet the finest we-ever saw.
A. J. Caldwell, class C, different kinds
of giass and timothy seed.
Azro Smith has some very fine Brazil
lian white potatoes, also the great Roady
onions, and some Nebraska peanuts. 15
entries of jellies, and 12 of preserves
and pickles.
Class 13 Rest box honey to F. B.
Reed, Rock Bluffs, Cass County.

From Friday's Daily. f
. THE NO-Z-TATIOITS.
Fair, &c,
We have just returned from Lincoln
and have not much time to write a great
deal. The nominations are considered
good ones by those best acquainted with
the parties. The convention was still in
session when we left. They had nomin
ated S. A. Strickland for one of their
Electors, Otto Funke of Lincoln, for
another and Watson B. Parish of Burt,
bid fair to be the third candidate.
It was generally understooi that Sam
uel Maxwell, of Plattsmouth, and Mr.
Gant of Neb. City, would be the nom
inees for judges in the places of Judg'-s
M isfin and Crounse.
The fair was very largely attended,
the entries numerous an 1 the di-pby of
fine fruit and immense vg"t abb s be
yond anything we ever contemplated fir
Nebraska but a few years ago. Manv
person from Illinois, Indiana, and other
states east were there and the evidences
of the productiveness of the soil of this
State must produce a good impression
on their; minds.
The Hotels were oil over-crowded
with guets. Many of the private hous
es received boarders for the time and
Lincoln must be largely the gainer in a
pecuniary way.
the c::i7EN7m
Has been the longest in arriving at its
conclusions of any that ever fat in Ne
braska, although we have seen much
more excitement about the nominations.
Chapin and Furna ran the closest of
any two candidates, there being often
but one or two votes between them.
The Temperance Convention met last
night and adjourned until this morning.
We have not learned the whole of their
proceedings, but understand they nomi
nated Mr. Gosper from the Republican
ticket, and Mr. Roge s, from Fremont,
as State Prison Inspector, from the Lib
eral ticket. The other nominations of
the Republicans to stand a? they are.
