John I. Nesbitt is down as one
of the' speakers at the Republican
leie club meeting in Grand Isl-andto-night.
Mr. Nesbitt bas tele
graphed his acceptance.
Up to the time of going to press
list evening no reply had been re
ceived bj Chairman French to his
proposition for the appointment of
-ft joint committee to arrange for a
joist debate. It was hoped ar
rangements could be effected in
time for announcement in this
week's Tribune.
Republicans who 'oppose the
submission clause in the Republi-
can piatrorm advance some very
rood reasons why the convention
would have ignored the demands of
the nrohibitiOnists. They claim
that there should be no alliance
with the party which was instru
mental in defeating the Republi
cans m the last national election,
and which is now doing all in its
power to aid the Democrats all over
the nation, and especially in every
Aoubtful state of the north. This
is .a fact that cannot be denied.
The Democratic party has always
been a party of free whisky. As
party they have never endorsed
sumptuary laws or inaugurated
temperance ratorms. io state un
der Democratic rule has ever adop
ted prohibition. ' On the other
hand high license and every other
salutary BMarare. calculated to re-
dace mm coatrol the sale of liquors
have Men inaugurated by the Re
publican party. And yet prohibi
tiftftists are constantly fighting Re-
mMicaaa; they never attack Demo
crat. Four years ago the Deaio-
"crats nominated a man notorious
for his bachanalian habits; the
prohibitionists helped him into
power, their chief speaker,St. John,
being in the pay of the Democratic
national committee. This year
they have nominated the same man
and notwithstanding the fact that
the Republicans have put up a roan
as celebrated for his purity of char
acter as Cleveland is notorious for
Hs looseness of habits, the prohibs
are straining every nerve to defeat
the Republicans. Under such cir
cumstances should, the Republicans
listen to their cranky ideas? Can
it be expected that Republicans
who are opposed to sumptuary laws
will give the party that hearty,
earnest and enthusiastic support
that it should receive in a national
contest? We do not apprehend
the prohibs will be able to defeat
the 'party in this state, but the
course adopted will greatly reduce
the majority.
The second gun in this cam
paign was fired by Vermont Tues
day. v The sound conveyed terror to
the Hearts of the Democrats... Pour
years ago Gov. Pingree had a. ma
lority of 22,702 out of a total "vote
of 62,342. This year the Republi-
: ?t in , r , tt
can majority win not oe less tnan
26,000 and may go up to 28,000.
The same rate of increase in New
York will give us that state by over
100,000 majority, and Connecticut,
Indiana and New Jersey by good
majorities. "And there is no rea
son to suppose anything different,"
says the Inter Ocean. "The con
test was made on the line of nation
al politics. No state question
came in at all. Nor is Vermont
much of a manufacturing state.
In this respect it has never kept
pace with the rest of New Eng
land. It has no seaboard,' no coal,
not much iron, and for this and
other reasons has never shared
largely in the1 skilled industry of
the country. It is the most truly
rural state in the union, having no
city of much magnitude. Burling
ton and Rutland, the only ones of
any pretensions, are simply good
sized villages, largely owing their
growth to railroad shops. Neither
are formers engaged in wool grow
ing to anything like the' extent of
former years. They have gone
largely into the dairying of late.
In fine, the voters of that state
have exceptionally small direct in
terest in the tariff. Yet there was
nothing else talked about by speak
ers during the campaign, and the
increase is due entirely to the free
tntima of . the Democracy. The
Verwwter (foes a great
iftftl of reading and a grtt !. of
quiet thinking. He knows what
the history of this country
ou the tariff question, im
well from the data of national ex
perience. It is from that class of
intelligent, hard-headed, and matter-of-fact
citizens that Grover
Cleveland has nothing to hope, as
it is from the wage-workers he
has everything to fear.
STABBING AT MB. OBERST.
Prohibition 'fellows, whether
Republicans or Democrats, may not
drink liquor, but they can tell
more and meaner lies than any
other class of politicians. One of
these whelps,a pretended Democrat,
writes over the signature of "Tem
perance" in the Wallace Herald,
and foully slanders. Mr. Oberst.
He says:
"Mr. Oberst, the .Republican
nominee, is said to own an interest
in several North Platte saloons and
tried to open up in that business
some time ago, and "could not get, a
f ood building. The charge is not
enied."
If . the cowardly fellow who
makes this libelous attack has the
manhood to sign his name to the
statement he will soon find to his
cost whether the statement is de
nied or not. The Herald pretends
to be a Republican paper. Its edi
tor took part in the proceedings
which nominated Mr., Oberst, vet
he allows a vile anonymous attack
to be made against his own candi
date in his own paper without a
word of comment. The Herald is
stabbing Mr. Oberst in the dark.
Such an attack would be bad
enough even if published over the
writer's signature and commented
on adversely, for the editor knows
there is not a shadow of truth in
the statement.
tariff discussion.
The following letters explain
themselves:

that the Republicans here will not

viewed a number and find that they
are enthusiastic in their support for
him, and not only that, but find
that he has supporters among the
Democrats.
E. H. Shaw has been wearing a
smile the past ten days. A ten
pound boy is the cause.
The gram market here has im
proved greatly. The cause of the
low prices -paid at first was a lack
of room to handle the grain, as
neither of the elevators were fin
ished. But now both are in run
ning order and farmers will always
receive the highest living prices and
good weights. .
The dance last Friday night at
Chris Joeckel's was largely attended
and a good time reported by attendants.
Saturday was the day set for the
boys to show up their squirrel tails
and get their prizes. Only two
boys put in an appearance, George

received the first prize, having near

There is some big talk about, the

of the people want it on the east

it 6he mile farther west. It is very
doubtful if they get it at all.
The new time card of the U. P.

The company has been setting
its fences out 200 feet from the

MMr. Cleveland and Mr. Mills are
better appreciated in Great Britain
than they are in the United States.
The radical free trade newspapers
of the United Kingdom have been
so hearty in their congratulations
over the Cleveland free-trade pro
gram, that the Democratic cam
paign managers in the country are
seriously embarrassed. A recent
number of the- Glasgow Observer
containe'd the following editorial ob
servation: We are interested in this thing a
good deal. If America opens her
ports to the manufactured goods of
this country ( wreat Britain i it wiu
give a great impetus to trade. We
will soon flood the Yankee markets
witclothes, cheap hardware, cheap
hardware, cheap boots and'shoes ana
other! articles that we can. manufac
ture more cheaply than they. We
will be gainers bv this. So, by all
means, let us pray for the success of
the free trade policy of Cleveland."
The above excerpt should be
placed in the hands of every work
mgman in the United States. It is
a complete exposure of Cleveland's
free trade plan. Nothing is more
certain than ihat for every '.'cheap
coat" imported into the United
States, some American workingman
will be deprived of that much labor.
Supposing that 50 per cent of the
value of any manufactured article
represents the labor expended in
producing it: Then if the United
States imports $100,000,000 worth
of "cheap goods" in a year, the
American workingmen will be de
prived of just $50,000,000. Ex.
Our third partyfriends have been
claiming that they were -strong
enougn in Vermont to give that
state to the Democrats. A Repub
lican majority of 26,000 must be
rather discouraging to the third
party men.
