that that paper is opposed to Omaha'a

A QUESTION which u great many
democrats are asking themselves is ,
whore did the democratic convention of
Now York Ictivo Mr. Clovolniut ? Ac
cording to good mugwump testimony
the name of the ox-presldont was not
mentioned there oxv.o't . by his special
friends , and there was no marked or
distinct manifestation of Intoroat in
him. Such IndllToronco to the claimant
on the part of a NowVotk democratic
convention ia certainly significant.

After a spirited but by no moans acrl
moi'lous contest Jtidgo Albert M. Pot
of Pintle county WIIB Bolcctod by the re
publican stnto convention at Llncoli
yostoriiny ns the standard bearer of tlv
republican party In the ensuing cam
palgn. Ho wan the most available mai
an llio five ballots distinctly jirovod am
united nl ) factions having no sere place
to bo healed. The contest was wngci
fairly nnd Judge Post's friends honcatl ;
earned their success. The railruai
strength stood by Judge Cobl
from llrst to laqt nnd diet
In the ditch with Ita favorite
Judge Ueese'u friends fought inanfullj
from start to finish nnd proved both bj
tlioir staying qualities and hla largi
vote the elements of popularity whicl
hav'o mndo him the llrst choice of a vcri
Strong'element in the party.
'Judge A. M. Post , the nominee ol tin
convention is a lawyer of good ability
who la extremely popular among tin
people who know him best , IIo hm
experience ns well as ability and a mum
which has never been assailed. lie ii
an upright judge , a just man and wil
wear well In tlio campaign before th <
people because his public and private
record Is above reproach.Thoro is nt
taint of corporation nflilinttons in hit
public life. IIo has never boon at
active politician and thuro cin : bo m
factional opposition to Ills candidacy.
IIo is a strong man and Tin : BKI : bo
liovcs lie will bo elected and that ho will
bo nn honor to the bench and to the
party which will elevate him to thai
tribunal.
The nominees for regents are Mr.
William II. Marplo of Douglas county
and Senator Shumwny of Dixon
county. Both nro . active , cul
tured competent men. Sonatoi
Shumway and his friends stood
by Judge Hooso throughout the struggle
this year ns in the Hastings convention
two years ago and faced possible dcfout
to tlioir homo candidate by so doing.
They would not barter away their choice
for the head of the ticket to advance
their own interests. Mr. Shumway will
add strength to the ticket in northeast
Nebraska. Mr. Marplo has a host of
young lawyer and other friends in
Douglas county who will Uiko olT their
coats for him and give him a largo vote
in this city.
Dr. S. D. Mercer of Omaha wau elected
chairman of the state central commit
tee , which insures to the campaign a
vigorous management. No bolter selec
tion was possible and the compliment
was most graciously made unanimous
after the announcement of the first bal
lot , although ho was several votes short
of a majority.
Taken all in all , though the action of
the convention was not exactly what
TIIK Bun had desired , the ticket is ono
which every republican can heartily
endorse , and the convention did itself
credit. It loaves fewer wounds than any
convention in years. It demonstrated
the fact that the republicans of Ne
braska are both in earnest and in har
mony and can go into the contest lo win
success in November.

The platform of the republican uarty
of Nebraska ' -lioorful and cheering
document. 'l'i JLo is not in it a single
suggestion of pessimism. In sharp con
trast with the democratic platform ,
which is a , series of denunciations , the
republicans offer nothing 'jut congratu
lations. The characteristics of the two
parties are shown' in their convention
enunciations. Ono is a prophet of evil ,
the other of good. Ono seeks success by
creating popular distrust ana apprehen
sion , the other by building up public
confidence and encouraging the people
to look on the bright side of all'airs.
1'ho republican party ia essentially tlio
party of prosperity. It delights in nbun-
ilant crops , in active industries , in fully
jinployod and well paid labor , in the
material progress of the country condi
tions that vindicate its principles and
policy. It is this spirit that per
vades the platform of the republicans
if Nebraska , and it is in por-
"oct harmony with tlio situa
tion and with popular fooling. The
position regarding silver is sound in
ivory respect. The existing law , pro
viding for the purchase by the govern-
nont of an amount of silver which ab
sorbs the production of the mines of this
: ountry , and under which there ia an-
mally added to the currency nearly
? GO,000,000. ia operating well , but it iso
: \\o \ \ farthest limit to which the country
: an safely go in the use of silver as u
> nrt of the currency. The platform
itatos'concisely and clearly the dangers.
o bo apprehended from free and un-
Imltcd silver coinage , and the on tire
immolation of the party on this subject
norlts unqualified approval. Tlio plat-
brm Is equally explicit and strnightfor-
vard regarding the system of protoo-
ion and the policy of reciprocity , show-
: 'ir that the republicans of Nebraska
it-oil complete accord with the party
hrouglu ; it the country on those quo.s-
ions. The general provisions of the
ntor.stnto corunorco ni-t arc endorsed ,
, nd the party Insists upon the suppros-
ion of combinations and schemes to
rtlllelnlly incrcaso the prtco of the
iccessaries of life. It is a commendable
.uclaraMon . of principles which will need
10 apology or defense.
BH I'OltK CM.UJMIO.V.
A prominent No v York politician ro-
ontly referred to the selection of Mr.
'assott at the republican candidate for
: ovornor as an inspiration. At any rate
i is proving to bo a very wlso eholco.
'nssott 1ms not only harmonized the
iivrly , but ho has Infused Into it earnest-
OSH , enthusiasm nnd confidence. Ills
lubllo speeches have a freshness and
i or about them thai make a most
ivornblo impression. IIo ia a man
f Intelligence and of Ideas , and ho
tales his opinions in language that per-
: iits no doubt of hla moaning and hta
incorlty. The pulllo and private char-
ctor of Mr. Fnssott Is 'Irreproachable ,
s his political opponents freely admit ,
IH ability Is unquestioned , and lie has
liat aggressiveness as a politician
rhleh all men admire and which will
specially commend him to the favor
f the younger class of voters. The
lost serious charge mudo ngninst
im IH. that ho was largely Instrumental
i defeating & bill In the legislature
which proposed to appropriate $10,000 ,
000 as a guarantee fund lo enable No\ \
York city to got the Columbian oxpoil
tlon. The truth Is that this wai
scheme to place a largo sum of mono ,
within the roach of Tammany , to b
used In tlio Interest of the domocrnti
party , and the republicans i
the legislature very proper ! ,
opposed and killed it. Th
fact that Mr. Fasselt whs prominent ii
this action is altogether to hla credit
and while it Is possible that it will los
him some voles in Now York city , I
ought to make him stronger In otho
parts of the stato.
The nomination of Mr. Flower by tin
democrats has not Improved the chance
of that party. IIo Is a weak man to b
put in leadership , except that h
Is very wealthy and llborn
with his money for political pur
poses. Tlio selection of this mllllonaln
candidate was a striking example of tin
inconsistency of the democracy , whicl
claims to bo the only party that Is tin
friend of labor nnd tim foe of plutoc
racy , and Mr. Flower will not bo able-
command the full strength of his party
oven though David Bennett IIlll shoult
go upon the hustings in hi
interest. There are thousands of demo
cratic workingmen in the state of Nov
York , and a great many demo
cratic farmers also who will not vote
for Flower , not alone because ho Ii
wealthy , but for the reason that IK
made a largo part of his money as
railroad director by the simple process
of stock watering. In the cor.vontioi
which nominated him several promi
nent democrats deprecated the choice o
a man solely because of the length o
his purse , and the unheeded counsel o
those men will have its influence will
the masses of the party.
The prospect of republican success it
Now York is altogether encouraging ,
The party has never boon in bettor light
ing form than it is at the present time
and there is every reason to expect thn' '
harmony will bo maintained and thai
earnestness and enthusiasm will Increase
as the campaign progresses. Republi
can victory in the Empire state this
year would practically Bottle the presi
dential contest of next year in favor ol
that party.
TIIK democratic party urges that this
country ought to have reciprocity "wltli
the countries of Europe , with England.
Franco and Germany but it does not
say how with btich an arrangement the
government would raise the revenue. '
lost by the abolition or heavy reduction
of customs duties on the products oi
these nations. In some of the states the
democratic platforms favor an income -
como tax as ono of the means
of providing revenue , and among
democratic leaders. Mr. Mills of Texas
champions this policy , but no such in
quisitorial system would bo long toler
ated by the American people , and besides -
sides it ia a very uncertain method of
obtaining revenue. The trouble with
the democratic party is , that whileit
has abundant capacity for finding fault
it lacks the ability to find wlso
and sound remedies for what it
complains of. When the party
had an opportunity to frame a
tariff law suited to its notions it bun
gled the business so wretchedly that the
work is still remembered as a reproach
to the intelligence of the men who did
it. It is to have another opportunity ,
and the prediction is entirely safe that
it will make just as bad u job of its
alTorts to reform the tariff as it did in
the Fiftieth and preceding congresses.
TIIK Now York Commercial Advertiser
is making war on the Pinkerton police
jystom , and it is to bo hoped it will not
Jtop fighting until it has created a pub
lic sentiment that will compel legisla
tion in every state hostile to this private
ind irresponsible constabulary. Our
N"ow York contemporary pointedly says :
' 'The very existence of a private organ
ization of armed men is an imputa
tion of inability upon the part of
the people to govern themselves and
naintnin order through their lawfully
ionstitutod police The logical extreme
jf tolerating organized force beyond the
regulative power of law is the surrender
) f law to forco. If more wealth , oxlst-
ng in a corporation or individual , can
jy an appeal to armed force coerce citl-
ions beyond lawful limits , it coot-cos law
tsolf. The Pinkerton army is n menace
.o bolf-govornnont. " For several years
run BUK has from time to time do-
luuncod the methods of this organizn-
ion of janizaries and urged that laws
ihould bo passed in every state prohib-
ting the employment of Pinkerton de-
ectlvos as an armed forco. Wo are
.horoforo . in sympathy with the efforts
if out" Now York contemporary and
rust it will maintain the war until the
ibjcct it seeks is attained'
Tin : farmers' alliance of Ohio has ro-
itidlatod tlio pooplo's party. In a clr-
nilar issued by the ofllcors of the alli-
nice they declare that that organization
s in no way identified with the now
larty , and state that the proper attitude
if the alliance politically is to bo pre
wired to criticize or admira the actions
f any party. In other words it stands
s a distinct organization for other
iiirposos than politics , and while
trlvlug to inoito an Interest ,
D publlo mutters among Its members
ml educating them in regard to such
miters , nevertheless holds Itself free to
upport whichever parly most nearly
louts its views. This Is undoubtedly
lie wlso and safe position for the ui-
ianco everywhere. It can exert 'far
lore influence In this way than by
Hying Itself with any political party.
TIIK republicans of Nebraska are not

vldoncod by the enthusiasm with which
is name was greeted In the state con

just appreciation of the distinguished

ilnly deserves a very largo share of the

Hold Vyur Wheat.
lji\vcr \ Sim.
Again the farmers of the west and north
west , have been advised to hold their wheat
for a rise , They urn.assured that the prices
within a few months will go to $1.50 or * 2.
Unless tlio reports of the shortage in Europe
are greatly exaggerated thcro mint , in a
comparatively short time , bo a considerable
advance in the prlco of wheat. And cer
tainly It would bo much bettor that the
farmers should got the benefit of it iustead
of any middle men. Indeed , well in
formed fanners will bo inclined in
their own judgment to hold their wheat to as
great an extent as they can. It would , however -
over , bo hardly practicable for the farmers
of any great extent of territory to organize
an actual corner. But they have as good a
right to go into the cornering businoas as
any other class.

WMMSfTlin WATCH llUnE.
Wild hilarity cliarnclorizos iho stage of
thu contest now going on between the trust
and autl-irust watchmakers. The opposing
factions are the Elgin and Waltham compa
nies on Iho ono sldo and John C. Ucubor on
the other. When the trust announced a re
duction of : . ' < ) uor cent on the prices , the trust
paid rebates to the Jobbers for all goods they
had on hand thai were affected by Iho cut ,
Dul Iho retailor. ? lost money from ono cud of
"
the country to the other. "Tho retailers are
swearing at Iho "trust. " Ono big retail
store on State street has hung out placards
announcing a cut of BO per cent on the orig-
ional price , which virtually gives l&o move
ments to purchasers at cost. This is the
llrst instance where a purchaser has ever
gained by a cut on iho part of the manufac
turer in the watch Irade. In Cincinnati a
call has boon issued for the roUllers to moat
and refuse to hundlo the "trust" product. It
is said that retailers nil ever the country will
join the Ilghtacainstlhocombine. Hocarding
iho financial olToct of the big reduction it is
Iho general opinion lhal whllo John C. Dau
ber may not bo embarrassed , it will nrobably
drive some of the smaller watch factories out
of existence.

llelonfio of a Prisoner Alt or a Strniifjo
I'l-OSUUIItlOll.
NKW YOHK , Sopt. :2l. : Thomas Johnson ,
the commercial traveler , who was arrosiod
some time ago In Brooklyn on an order of ar
rest from Ilerkiinor county and who lias
been for weeks in the Raymond street Jr.il ,
wes released yesterday by Judge Clements
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Johnson's case is a curious one. Seven
years ago , while traveling in Hurklmu.r
county , ho mot a uretly waiter girl named
Hannah O'Brien , and , It is claimed , betrayed
hor. Moanwhllo she entered suit against
bun and aecurod u Judgement for ? IU"0.
Johnson know nothing of iho sull. The girl
could not Hud him , and In course of time for
got iho suil lee , and moved out of town.
Her lawyers learned years afterwards
that Johnson was in Brooklyn , so they caino
dnwn aud throw him into the Raymond
slreol Jail. Ho has been there for months.
Of course ho was surprised at his arrest.
That ho owed anybody $ -1,000 was news to
him. Ho could not got out of Jail to earn ibo
money , so it looked as if ho must slay Ihora
all his life. Besides , ho was willing to marrv
llio girl , but nobody knew where she was.
Jounscn's story was printed. The girl saw
it and wrote saying she was now u happy
wife and mother , anu so did not duro to como
to Brooklyn and help Johnson out of his
trouble , although she had thu kindliest , feelings -
ings toward him. However , after much cor
respondence , she was induced to
como. Johnson was before Judge
Clements a wcok ago on a writ of
habeas corpus. Ho claimed thai no notice of
tbo trial In Herklmcr county had boou .served
upon him and Ho know nothing about it until
the judgment talton by default was served ,
and ho also produced eVidunco lo show that ,
af lor Miss O'Briuu began suit against Him
she married and had withdrawn from the
prosecution of the suit against him. But the
most striking allegalion mudo by the counsel
for Johnson was that Miss O'Brien had given
n satisfaction picco for the judgment she ob
tained against Johnson , and Ihoro was really
no claim upon which Johnson could bo hold.
That satisfaction piece , it was claimed , was
on llllng in the clerk's ofllco in Horkimcr
county. It was boldly assorted that Johnson
bad been arrested at the instance of some
HerKlmer county lawyer , who wa > interested
in the case and who had adopted this plan to
onforca his Hen on the judgment and collect
his bill of costs.
When this phase of the case was suggested
to Judge Clements his Interest In the uialtor
was incroabcd and ho remarked ho would
never allow the machinery of his court to bo
run for such a purpose. T'tio transcript of
thu sullsfactlon piece , now on lilo in Hcrki-
mor countywas produced In court yesterday.
The record showed that the judgment had
boon satisfied and cancelled. Johnson was
thereupon discharged.
The former Miss O.Brion. who seems to
have seriously repented the part she took in
causing Johnson's arrest and incarceration ,
was in court when Johnson was released.
They wont away together. It would bo dilll-
cult to sav which was the happier of the two.
They acted like a ecyiplo ol school children
just out on a long vacation.
