' 'BAUD. Tar BEE , as usual just before olcetien , is circulating slanders amid lies in regard to Republican candidates. The last effort - fort of Tan BEn is in relation to Judge Morris. People who have liyodinOmaha for several years know that Judge Morris is one of tire most honorable men in No. br ska , and because soano scamps of tire Itnsewator stripe attempted to indict , Morris , and failed in tire attempt , it is good reason , as Tan Bin : puts it , why Morris should be defeated. Garbled etatemonts at this Into day will not change many votes-Republican. Garbled statements will not change votes and bare faced falsehoods mvill not condone a crime , whitewash a rogue , nor change the record. This paper Inns con- thinly been very lenient toward Judge Morris. People who lived in Omaha when ho was a resident in this city will be surprised to learn that ! re was the victim of scamps andblackmailers. Mor- rie way notoriously a crook and could not have been elected constable after ho became - came generally known bore , He was'nut indicted on tire evidence of scamps or blackmailers but on tire sworn testimony of James II. Imollomir and Joseph Lamaster , both United. States revenue officials and mon of the highest integrity ; and the strongest proof of lain criminal collusion were the fraudulent books ho kept as United States stor keeper. Those are facts , and we are ready to n'ov'a thorn in any court. Thu transcript signed by Elmer Frank , clerk of the United States Circuit court , with tine seal of the United States court , is on our table. Wa have boon asked to publish - lish it in full butdid not deem it nocei sary. sary.We We understand Governor ( ) awes and Judge Morris have boon in Omaha to procure soma papora , with a cock and bull story , to whitewash , but we dare throat to ilia proof. Tan record of Judge Savage is before tine people of the district where for more than seven years lie tilled tire h'igh'est ' olco in tim gift of his constituents. They were seven yea's of hard and honest labor on a bench before which mere cases wore brought every year than may six others in the Stato. Overworked , rushed by attorneys , clamorous that their cases should be pushed to a quick deals. ion , with a docket full to overflowing , which two audgee now , find it difficult to dispose of , the only surprino is thatTudga bavago was able to make a record w hidti in hotter than that if any of Iris contour. pomriat.

W1ty did tire tnti rmtonopolists 1101111 nato Savage ? lVhy did they riot pick out some other elan ? Because they wore compelled to nenrnatu a competent man and a amt wire had ezporionco and whose infegrity was tntimpeachablo , Tiny could not well nominate a farmer or a laborer , ' 1'lrey had to take a lawyer , and law7'ers who hero been District Judges are not numerous. Among those Judge Savage was tire most available. All otlrorewitlrout exception had travel. ell on railroad parses and been moro or less mixed up with railroad politics. A apex by the name of Schmidt , who keeps a saloon in the Third ward has Ircard some one say that Itosowator said something to him and ho etraiglrtway rushes to the Ik/1ttGlican office to rnako aflldavit. It every one who has heard other people tell what they hoard in rho etroota shout liosowater wore to insist upon putting it in afildavite the affidavit mill would ho kept grinding pretty steadily. Tun charge that Judge Savage said last spring that he didn't want the votes of workittgmmt is a downright lie. Ile flavor made any such statom ont. 11'hat Ire did say wag that ho had not asked for anybody's vote , lie is not and never 1ma heart a ward bummer and certainly as a candidate regards it as beneath iris dignity to buttonhole men or solicit votes. WE cannot possibly please tine ntcn who conduct tire Omaha IlrpubUcan. IVe hover have Eried hard and we never expect to. They are mad when we don't ' support Republican candidates , nud they howl with rage when we do. One tiring is certain.

" They are hugging a vain delusion. t'lro Union Pacific was never known to luaae its urin on through traffic while u mile of road remained and it is not like. ty it will forego a portion of the pleasures mind profits of the bridge toll to tickle tire Northwestern , forty miles from the Missouri. Nebraska is still doing considerable land ofilea business. Tire Vestern half of tire State is yet a powerful uiagnot to tire enterprising homeseekor and spocula- tor.

In the North Platte district whore agricultural land is amp. posed to be scarce , i tire entries for the last three nlomiths are greater than ever before , and land onto thought totally tin- lit for cultivation is being eagerly taken. In many Western a § wolhts Eastern countries - tries , it I'm impossible to longer procure railroad land. S'at'in view of this , and the rush there has been for tire past fif teen years , scarcely half of Nobraeka is settled.

This is why they hail the growth of Caldwell with delight. Ths feeling of bitterness , however , is iii. together mutual. Tlrore is great excitement at and about Lisbon , Ransom county , Dakota , over reported - ported gold discoveries iu Uo valley of the Sheyenne river. Lisbon is located in tire goograplucal center of Ransom county , on the Sheyenne , about fifty miles Southwest from Fargo. It is just now the center of attraction for Northern Dakotnand promises to boom as a mining camp. Gold is found in the sand and gravel and in a quartz formation which orc + ps out from the bluffs of tire Shey cane. A hundred and fifty assays of the rock and gravel have bean made with re- suits varying from $2.50 to 513,00 of void per ton , and some silver. If this should Provo to be a genuine gold field it will overturn some well established theories regarding mineral finds , The region is far ( roar the mountains , and the Shoy onno in its tortuous course does not traverse any known gold field. The people up there have faith in their find and arc forming companies to work up tire rock and deprive it of its wealth. Now that Washington Territory is brought into close communication with the rest of time world , a few facts concerning - ing the growth and prospects of the northwest corner of the nation will prove interesting , .In extent Washington Territory - ritory is just about 1,000,000 acres moro than twice tire area of the State of Iu- diana.
