It wn a masterpiece of political work that put in nomination, thu Hon Judgu Crounso, of Omaha for the po sition of Oovcnor on the republican ticket, and his candidacy insures re publican success in November. Judgo Urounse is an ante man ana is one or. our cleanest and most popular citizens Ills election is sure. The balanco or the ticket, viz: Hon. J. 0; Tate for lieutenant govonor. Joe Bartloy for treasurer, John Allen, for secretary of state, A. R. Humphrey for commis sioner public laads and butldingsy Mr. Moore for Auditor, A. K. Ooudy, of Webster county for superintendent of publio instruction, plaoes in omina- tion a set of men who cannot bo dup licated for cleaness, ability and hones ty of purpose Voters of Nebraska need have no fear of the republican tiokot as overy man is abovo re proaoh and will make honorablo ca reers. Thoir election is conccdod by all fair minded man. IltdKS, The senatorial convention mot in this city on Monday and nominated Mr. Austin of Franklin county for the position. Frank Harmon of Adams county, rsoeWed the nomination for float representative on the independent ticket tt Blue Hill this week. Congress has adjourned, much to the joy of our people Through tho obstraotion tactics of tho lower houso the 62d congress has boon a very ex peisive luxury. If MoKcicLan is elected in No vember he will havo to do somo tall work. The people aro becoming tired of wind andthoory, what, tnoy want issonothing practical. As sure as the day comes VanWyok, tho millionaire can didate for governor on tho people's ticket is beaten. As a political dema gogue VanWyok takes tho cake. Ob Saturday, several prominont en who left tho republican party and strayed off after tho great calamity erase we learned, havo decided to come baek to the republicans, asserting that they could seo no hopo for tho people's party, whon thoy wcro compel led to nominato millionaires for office. More will follow. i We should imagino that tho Inde pendent party would fool proud of Van Wyofc. Since its first inoipicnoy they havo bearatod cvory man in tho eeuntry whoso complexion was taintod with a yellow tint of a cool million, only at last to run into a snaro, and nominate VanWyck, a man who is rated wav up there in tho hundreds of thousands. MoKeighan says ho has votes to spare in this district, Cleveland said feur years ago that ho had yotos to spare and so ho did, and thev wore mi to HanriBon tho best president that has held the office for years, and what is true of Olovoland will be true ef Mr. MoKeighan, whon a man pre sumes that he owns tho offioe then the people give thoir votes to the other fellow, hence Mr. Andrews, will bo the next congressman. The time has como when our voters should take into consideration the faet, that mon should bo eloctdd to ofice who havo sound qualifications for it. The independent nominations in Webster county aro certainly far from being sStisfaotory to even tho rank and file of thoir own party. Tho republicans on tho other hand have in the two Macks, MoOalluni and McNltt, men who will bo a credit to tho offico to which thoy havo boon nominated, MoKeighan' pprcoli in con cress the other day would inako u fino lot of taffy for soma cuufcotioner to work up, but the peoplo of Wobster county aid the balance of tho fifth district have beeomo tired of nioe sounding words, with no meaning in them, ex cept for bate oatohinx, and will elect Hon. W. E. Androws to replaco him, a man whoso ability ranks very much higher than our independent friond's and who can and will reprcsont tho district and maintain its dignity oh it ougnt to ue. I1 ... "3 To road over the stuff published in the independent japers ono would think that there was sot a loyal or honest hoart in the old parties, but that all of tho patriotism for country, homo and native land were iasido of their lines. Tho facts are that no moro loyal peoplo live than ara is the republican ranks, and right here wo might say that with all.of tho efforts put forth by tho calamity party, the lovers of good government aid honest money, will elect Benja sail Harrison, president, along with congressional, state and county ticket, Tho cry of our independent friends that they must havo $50 per capita in order to do business, would simply bo suioide. Just after tho war and during tho latter part of tho great conflict, wo rooolloot tho condition of tho financos quite well. Every commodity had a ficticious value. Better by far have prices thnt are reasonable than to havo hay sell at 140 or I BO per ton, Ac. War prices were high, and out ot proportion to what thoy would have boen under tho ordinary conditions of business. Speculations ran rife then, and for tho last thirty years people havo been rushing blindly onward in the same manner, without stoppiaa; to consider that a reckoning day would come. They bought largely of everything that was morohantable, and tf without monoy, struok off to some money shark and borrowed at high rates or interest in order to make a deal that they could see millions In. In the meantime, prioes in all lines of busi ness wore tending on the decline, and finally tho day came for reokoning, and when it came, mon saw whore thoy had made a mistake War prices oould not ba maintained always and the orash camo, $50 per oapita could not help them, it might make high prices for a whllo but sooner or later another orash would como far greater than the present ono, and then what would bo the re sult? No amount of complaining or calamity howling would pay tho debts, the government oould not holp ynu pay your debts. How would you do it then ? Only one way and that is to pay yonr debts off if possible, and start new, if not do tho best you can. Fiat money would only oontinuo tho struggle for an indenuito period. The matter should be considered calmly and new efforts put forth to rotrieve tho lost fortunes by industry and not by idleness, and a longing for some one to help you. God pros Eers him who works for prosperity, ut tho complaining man rarely evor gains tho 'coveted priso. Industry and ooonomy brings tho dosired effect. Bight is right, might is might, in dustry is industry and folly is folly, and we havo an opinion based an in vestigation, that tho man who waits around for something to turn up that will cive him that which he oan onlv gain oy laborious efforts, must moot with most and certain defeat, and waiting for $50 per capita to help him out is folly pure and simple, and no political party witb wild theories based on uncertainties will help him to gain a dollar of lost wealth, this you have got to do yourself if you get it, $50 per capita might help the farm er soil corn for $2 00 a bushel, hay for $50 per ton, Ac but whon he took his $2.00 or $50 to buy somo necessary article wonldho be able to make or buy more than he does with an hon est dollar today ? What the people need' is a kooner insight into business, unbiased opinion, on all subjects, and not allow themselves to be lead off by thcoratioal and visionary sohemes that ultimately worse tbeir condition in stead of battering it.

Having attended tho Demorcst Con test at Guido Rook, last Saturday evening, I cannot but feel that tho medal was unjustly awarded. Two of the judges, 1 learn, wero intimately acquainted with tho young lady who won the honors, a near relativo of ono of the judges having drilled her for the occasion. I find that others, besides myself think that a little favoritism was shown. Contestant No. C, was much more natural in voiuo and gesture, and moro ploasing in her reoitation. I learn through good authority that one of the judges marked them equal, thinking that it would bo a tio be tween thorn. Tho judges on such oc casions ought always to bo strangers to the contestants, then there oan be no feeling among any, that ono is moro favored than anothor. An Interested Spectator i HI Bladen.

E. lond. Gainesville, N. Y., August 7tb, 1892. Friend Hoshkk: According to pro mise I will briefly give you a report of our journey and visit here since leaving Bed Cloud. We left Ited Cloud, July 18th, taking the popular 0. B. & Q. via Bastings whore we took tho flyer going bv Lincoln. Plattsmouth. and thence through Iowa to Burlington, on the XissiMippl river, thence via Galesburg and Aurora to Chicago, arriving in Chi cago at 2:15 p. m., tho 10th, making the run in twenty hours. And right here I want to apeak ot the superior accommo dations of the C. B. & Q. road over any other line we nassed. Their vestibule re clining ohnir cars, and a thing which de serves special mention is the manner in wliioh me employees nttonueu 10 tbeir duties nnd thoir gentlomanly conduct and many acta ot kindness toward all possengorB.

B. & Q. had the beet accommodations, the employees were all gentlemanly kind and attentive to the comfort of all passengers. The second day after our arrival we at tended the Boldiere' annual pionio held at Silver Lake, one of the greatest sum mer resorts ia New York. The lake is located in the town of Castile, Wyoming Co.. and is indeed a beautiful body of water threo miles long and one mile wide. Several steamers and sail boats and a great number of row boats afford the visitor a sonrco of pleasure and en joyment not found in other plaoes. The estimate was from ten to fifteen thousand in attendance at this picnio, and said to be much smaller than usual. August 4th, we attended (at the lake) the Wyoming county pioneer picnio and there were present over twenty thousand people. They oamo from Buffalo, Roch ester and in fact from most everywhere cle, even Nebraska." The length of this letter may protect the readers of The Chief from another ot like character, but before closing I want to tell you about the crops, eta Nowhere, since leaving Nebraska, have I seen such grain as we had there.
