There is nothing now in the cxpcrl

lint over had an extalotico in thino
ny other country , but perhaps never be
ore has it anywhere manifested thi
hnraclcrl.stle no freely and nrro antl ,

mdo apparent that it was" th
iroirrntnmo of the leaders and manager
f the prohibition parly in this slate t
ttcmptto deceive the people by fals
lutl.stics and cookcd-np Htatomcntsc
acts , just as WHS done in MaMacluisetts
'ennsylvanla , and other slates wher
i similar contest hsis boon waged , an
hat when their misrepresentations wor
not by Indispiitablu fuels of olllclnl rcc
rd they would seek refuge in abuse an
n the oxeri'iso o ( the spirit of lutolci
nice. This having been t heir unlverssi
nd uniform practice , there vrtw n
easstin to expect that it would bo tibai :
loned or its offcnsivoness inltlgiilod i
ho Nchfaska campaign. LUit Hi
irohibitlonists hero htivo gene mm1'
artber In this respect than their fret
and fanatical prototypes of an
other state , oven of Maine in Iho mo-
icatcd period ot prohibition contest !
[ 'here has bcon nothing since the day
of slavery , when the supporters of th
Ight of ( mo man to own his fellow mi :
efuscd to listen to anyarguinentiigains
ueh right , and mobbed and nuirdi're
non who denounced slavery , to paralk
he unfair , unjust and intolerant cours
> f many of the Nebraska prohibitionist
n the present campaign toward the o [
lonenldof their views and policy.
There bus been no excuse for this , 11
here can bo no justification. Those wh
ire opposing prohibition ha-vo unlforml
a fair , frank sind straightfoi
vard course. They htivo co'ight a the :
nigh intpiiry and a candid discussloi :
The facts were etiually accessible to hot
idof , and they have demanded only Ilia
.hey should bo honestly and truthfull
H-cserited. They have been sattslio
to rest their case upon the test
nony of practical experience. Tlie
uivo phmtcd thenisolves vipon recordc
evldenco and have frcoly referred Hi
irohibilionists lo their sources of infoi
nation.Vhonovor they have me.t i
lobiito any of the defenders of prohib
tion they have treated them with over
courtesy and consideration which shoul
nark discussion between people who in
lonestly seeking enlightenment an
truth. Wo challenge the citation of
single instance during the campnlp
an opponent of prohibition pul
icly engaged in combatting that polio ;
was not entirely fair , just svnd tolornt
.o\vard these whom ho mot in contn
veray , and wo have heard of no case i
which an Hall-prohibit Ion audience lui
ailed to give respectful attention an
.reatmcnt to prohibition spcakora. I
very way the contrast between the cor
luct and spirit of the prohibitionisi
ind these opposing Ihem has been coi
Rpicuously creditable to the latter.
The people of Nebraska who believe i
hoJair and frank investigation and dls
: nssion of all public riuo.slioiiH , even sue
of this class as are not unfriendly to th
H'inciplo of prohibition , will not suppoi
i party which in addition to falsiflcatlo

rXKXT ;
Nebraska has never had a democrat
governor , and , in spite of the loud claln
of Mr. Boyd's friends , there Is no roasi
why one bhould bo ehoson this yea
There never was a time when Iho ropu
lloan party had better reasons for dosl
ing a republican tn the executive chai
nor a time when the parly had an abler
or purer man for Us candidate.
No man who has boon a republics
should vote against Hon. L. D. Rtc
ards , directly or indirectly , unless 1
knows of bolter reasons than have bo <
advanced in this campaign. Ills defe
Is not necessary to accomplish the r
forms for which the Independent : ) ai
contending. Such reforms must con
through the legislature and Mr. Kiel
ards stands ; on a platform which pledg
him to co-operate in achieving tlici
Mr. Powers could do no more , and prolj
blynot as much , as Mr. UiclumU
helping to this result. This has be
the history of such movements in olh
stales.
Men have sometimes been carried in
the governorship by Ihird party mo\
menls , organized to meet a temporal
issue , They have always worked at
disadvantage and have generally goi
out of ollleo to see the real object of the
election accomplished later by the don
mint party , which had learned the h
son of Iho hour from its own rank a
( lie. A governor who has a trreat par
behind him can do things. A govern
who has only an unorganized followin
whlo.li may fall lo pieces before his tor
is half served , and who has but unct
tain support in the legislature , h
never yet accomplished in any stf
substantial and lasting reforms. T
way for the republican farmers to g
whnt they want , and make sure of it ,
to oleel Uiclmrds and back him up \ via
a strong legislature. They bavo alrca
seen their demands become the ph
form of the republican party. If th
follow this programme they will e
Ihem become Iho achievements of t
next administration.
While the republican farmers ha
everything to hope for from the cloctl
of Mr. Uiolmrds , the party as a wh (
has the greatest interest in his succi
for other reasons. The report of a do
ocratio victory in Nebraska would bo
hard blow for the republican ptu
throughout the country. It would bo
setback for the party in a national son
It would ho misunderstood and cc
strued as a permanent break in the
publican lines of .the wc.st. Closl
their eyes to the peculiar local con
tlons which brought It about , the don
crsitlo press would claim Hint Nebras
had turned against ro'publleanlsm on i
tlonul issues , which have no real boavl
on the campaign for the governorship
Moreover , the next governor will i
point two now justices ot the supro
court and will have power lo inlluonci
the now apportionment of vongrcsslonn
districts , The party which fforrymnn
dorcd n shoestring district for Majo
McKlnloy in Ohio is not wanted for i
similar MM'vlco by the republicans of Xe
braska. For these and other reasons , estate
state and national Importance , every republican
publican should desire to see Mr. Rich
mis" election placed beyond question.
The republican candidate is equally de
serving of loyal support on personal
grounds. IIo is a typo of the strong
earnest , successful mon who are developed
oped from honest material by westori
life , IIo has mni'o his way from tin
bottom ot the ladder to distinction with
out the aid of fortuitous circumstances
IIo has been true to every trust linpo sei
In him , public and private. There ii
nothing in his career to call for an apol
ogy , from the time ho went to war a < 3 i
bo.yof fourteen to the time when ho bo
caino the candidate of Iho ropublicai
party for the highest olllco in the gift c
his stale.
These considerations should make Hi
election of lion , L. 1) . Richards cortali
in n state that has a natural republican
majority of nearly thirty thousand.
TllK ril'Tl'-SKCOXD COXGHKSS.
Four stales , Vermont , Maine , Wyom
In ; ; and Idaho , have elected roprcsonlii
lives , all republicans , to Iho Fifty-secoin
congress. The other states will mak
their choice next Tuesday. Never ha
there been a contest for the control of thi
house of representatives of greater in
lerest , and la the view of the leaders c
both parties of greater importance.
The present house consists o
ono hundred and seventy-nine re
publicans and one hundred and iiftj
ono democrats , a republican insijorlt
of twenty-eight , ten of which were ot
tained by seating republicans on coi ;
tests from districts in the south. If til
the districts now represented by ropul
licans should bo held by thorn in th
coining elections , their majority In th
next congress , with the addition of th
representatives from Wyoming an
Idaho , would bo thirty. It is an intoi
esting fact in our history that an admin
islration party has never maintained it
former strength in the popular branc
> f congress in the elections midway in
presidential term. If the republican
succc'cd now in keeping control of tb
house , though by a reduced majority
the victory will bo most encouraging.
Itocent reports from Washington rc |
resent that the democrats tire counlin
upon a majority of from twenty-live t
thirty in the next house , while ropul
licans expect a material reduction froi
their present majority , though hopofi
of retaining control. The bitualio
generally is less favorable to the demoi
racy than It was a month ago. Fc
ono thing , the gerrymander in Ohl
promises to bo far less profitable to tli
domocrals than they have oxpoctei
The redistricling of the state wi ;
planned to glvo them at least fifteen 01
of the twenty-ono representatives , an
the indications ave that they will nc
got lo exceed ton. In Indiana the deux
crsils arc bolng hurt by the farmer !
movement , and there is a very goc
prospect of the republicans gaining tw
or more representatives in that stal <
In several of the southern states there ;
U chance of a few districts now ropn
sealed by democrats going ropublicai
by reason of the drain inado upon tl
democracy by the alliance movcincn
and a number ot domocrals will bo SIM
ceedcd by the alliance candidates. 0
the other hand , there is danger that tli
republicans will lose at least two di
tricls in Pennsylvania and as many i
Virginia , while there are several uncoi
tain districts in New York , Massaoln
setts and other eastern states now he !
by republicans. A republican loss i
Missouri is probable.
As Iho situation now appears , if tl
western and northwestern states rema :
faithful to Iho republican party it wl
retain control of the popular branch
congress , and this fact ought to inspii
every western republican with u kee
sense of the duty and responsibility tin
rests upon him. No section of the com
try has a deeper interest in republic ; :
success than the wo.st , whoso progroi
and prosperity the republican party h :
always sought to promote , and by i
legislation and policy has promote
There is not a single sound reason wl
%
any western constituency-should send
democratic representative to congi-cs
and no man who can take at once a pra
tlcal and patriotic view of his duty as
citizen of this section will vote to do s

The light In the Second district Is vei
animated , as it ought to bo when such
man as W. A McKeighan is pitt <
against such a man as N. V. Ilarlai
Under such circumstances the llgl
should be kept up until the last ballot
deposited. Not only political question
but the credit of the Htato aroat stake
the Second district in a sense not true
any other portion of the cotninonwoalt
The contrast batwcon the eharact
and record of the two candidates con
not bo greater. McKoighan has provi
false to every trust committed to him
n public oflloial. IIo lias attempted i
worthy answer to the charges proforn
against him bj > his opponents. Nume
ous committees of the members of ll
alliance , and others , have gene to li {
Cloud during the campaign to oxamli
and report upon these charges , and
every instance they have reported th
the charges were true. And they do
not only with his standing as a inoinU
of tlio Grand Army and with his pc
sonnl habits , but also with his admin
tration of the nfl'alrsof the probate olll

could bo more sacred.
Without atlomptlng the impossib

O-icr.oi.A , Neb. , Oct. ! > 7. To the Editor c
Tin : Hun : \Vlmt would be tlio effect upo
local option if tlio llcunso amendment shoul
carry. Please answer through Tin : Bm : .
T. J.
Tlio proposed'license amendment prt
vides that the nutnufautiiro and sale c
liquor shall bo licensed , and regulated b
law. In other words , regulation mut
go hand in hand with license. This I
precisely what the Slocumb law does
Nobody can sucure a license to sell liquo
until ho has complied with the condl
lions imposed by the law. This is regi ;
hit ion.
If the license amendment is adoptc
the legislature can proscribe such coi :
dltions Upon each liquor dealer thu
would practically continue loc :
option. For instance , each appl
cant for a license may I
required to procure a petition signed b
a majority of the freeholders of his vl
lago or of the ward in any town in whic
ho desires to locate. If a majority c
the freeholders refused lo sign such
petition the license could not I
granted.
Another regulation thai would operal
the same as local option would bo to giv
the town board of auy city or village 11 :
right to fix theainount ot license Iron
live hundred dollars to ton thousand do
lars. In A.shland the town license i
fifteen hundred dollars and yet the
have no saloon. Tlio city of Lym
Mass. , 1ms fixed ita license at oigli
thousand dollifrn , which is practical !
prohibition.
It is manifest , therefore , that tli
adoption of the high license amondmoii
would not wipe out local option. LiceiiE
would not bo compulsory until all Ih
conditions imposed by the laws and loc :
boards were complied with , and whorcvi
a majority of the people are adverse t
the open saloon , they could readily pn
vent Us establishment.

club swung to . .knock down tlio dolln
first and republicanism afterward. Tl
record of th'6 Jiru&ndors is plain ; tl
duty of ovory.lpylil republican is equal
clear. '
Dot'QljAS county republicans are
the light to win. With a auporl
ticket uniting nil elements , and issii
appealing us never botoro to par
fealty , it is no longer a question of pi
clng Douglas eouoty In the ropublicu

the entire ticket.

oxc WAV TO HEi.r riinuniiTiON ,
.Tho report has reached your corrcsnon-
dent that some of Iho professors In tbo state
university who are avowed m-ohlbitloulsts
are using their inlluonco over the student.
that vote to cast their ballots la favor ot tin
prohibition amendment. That as tlioprofcs'
sors i-nrrv the Dowers of on autocrat In final
examinations the adult students worn swaveii
thereby to vote for the aineiulineiit for f\\n
the professors asking them w > to vote might
jrct , angry if they did not do so ami so Us
their liual examinations so that tlioy could
never pass.
As thu professors of the univer
sity are employed with the undcrstatulinn
that they ui-a to Instruct the students hi
science , language mid mathematics , and not
to mcilillowith their political views , your cor
respondent interviewed n number of the
young men.
It was astonishing to notice tbo effect upon
these future statesmen and moulders of pub-
lie thought. They Invariably shut up like
clams and declared that they dnro not say a
word , for If they did they would not pass
their mud examinations. It was learn til ,
nevertheless that one or two were rod-hot
prohibitionists , who were working for
the cause. Prof , Hodenmn , tutor iu
mathematics , was named as one , but whm
Individual cases were asked for where the
professor had brought his inllueiieo to boar
to cause a student to vote bis way there was
a general ovnslon of tlio subject. 'One or two
eases were cited , hut on interrogating the
fellows referred to tliu answer was :
"iS'ow , look here , Mr. Llco-iimn , I know
you aio all right , but I don't dnro to sav imy-
tliluK , as 'Old Tunes and Manners' would
make It hot lor niu in tbo llnal exams. Ho
would then just as leave mark mo four as
auvthing. "
This is all that could bo gotten out of the
bright yomiK fellows. It appears thai "Old
Times and Manners" is the iitclniuniu for the
professor.
Prof , llodgnian was then seen. IIo denied
that ho bad brought any inlluenco to boar
upon the students in tbo class room to get
them to vote for prohibition , mil claimed it us
his pnvilcRo so to do iiutivUlually if be chose.
IIo said further that none of thc'othcr profes
sors had so used their inlluenco as far as ho
know , Other professors seen corruburutcd
this.
