THE WINNERS FOR '92.
For President:
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
For Vice-President:
"WHITEIiAW REID.
It may be truthfully remarked
that the harmony existing between
Thorton and Holden, the editors of
the two state independent papers,
is not spelled with a capital H.

Yz learn that the Independent
Era has been turned over to J. Y.
Ellingham, he agreeing to assume
the indebtedness of the concern, and
to whom the principal amount was
due. Mr. Ellingham will undoubt
edly conduct the office in a more
businesslike manner.
The great and decisive reason for
the nomination of Whitelaw Reid
was that, as minister to France, he
worked successfully to open new
markets for American grain and
pork, and thus made himself a pe
culiarly good represetative for the
doctrine of reciprocity.
The republican state central
committee will meet at Omaha to
morrow for the purpose of fixing
the Mme and place of holding the
state convention. We believe the
3'ear and the conditian of affairs in
the state demand and early conven
tion, and therefore a lengthy as.
well as aggressive campaign.
We
regret
Judse Neville's
to announce that
chances for being
nominated for congress in this dis-
4J
trict are quietly but surely slipping
away from him. In instructing the
delegates of this county to vote for
Kem the independent convention
gave Neville a direct slap in the
face.
. As one result of the McKinley
tariff 258 new establishments with
a capit.nl of 20,047,200 and employ

while sixty-oue firms have made
expansions requiring 8,451,800
capital and employing 4,015 hands.
Prices pre no higher than before its
passage and work is more abundant.
"Was legislation ever better justified
of its fruits?
It is stated that Judge Snelling
refuss to be a candidate for re
election to the office of county at
torney this fall. This leaves the
field open for that great legal
luminary of Wallace, Joe Beeler.
The republican nominee, Avhoever
he may be, is to be congratulated
that he will have such an opponent
as Beeler.
Clevela.NI) in his first letter of
acceptance declared emphatically
against a second term, but within a
mouth after his inauguration he
began laying his plans for a renomi
natiou. He received it, but was
beaten at the polls as a result of his
brazen ignoring of his pledge. Now
he seeks the presidency the third
time, but the result will bethtfsame
us in 188S.
It is not claimed by the leaders of
the people's party that they can
elect a president, but they do claim
that they can throw the election
into the house and thus seat Cleve
land. These declarations are made
by such men as Taubefieck, and
therefore have a strong coloring of
authority. Nebraska republicans
who are temporarily following
strange gods should recognize at
once that a vote cast for the nomi
nee of the Omaha convention is in
direct work for democratic success.
During the four years he was in
oilice Cleveland was handicapped by
a republican senate. lie was unable
to secure the repeal of a single re
publican law or the enactment of a
solitary democratic measure. With
his hands so well tied, it was not
possible for him to inflict on the
country such injury as would cer
tainly "follow the election of a dem
ocratic candidate this year. The
situation now is such that the dem
cratic candidate, if elected next
November, will carry both branches
of congress with him, and the
eountry must then learn what dem
ocratic rule is in all that tho name
implies.
There is no mistaking the signifr
icauce of the money plank in the
repuqliean platform. It sa'S what
it means and meaus what it says in
the declaration that the "republican
part" demands the use of both gold
and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determine by legis
lation, sis will secure the mainte
nance of the parity of values of the
two metals, so that the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dol
lar, whether of silver, gold or paper
shall be at all times equal." The
republican party favors the circula
iioa of the largest quantity of gold
and silver that can be kept at par,
hut nokthe coinage of a single dol
lar under conditions that will make
'it worth less than 100 cents.

The two leading Swedish journals
of the northwest, the Hemlandet
and the Fosterlandet, ask their
Swedish constituents to indorse t
nominess of the republican par
tneir united support.
A hill providing for the choice
of United States senators by popular
vote has been agreed on by one of
the congressional committee. The
proposition seems to meet the favor
of nearly every one, and will not
therefore become much of an. issue
in the election. It is certainly the
proper way to elect senators.
It surely has never occurred to
anyone to doubt for a moment that
the republican party of Nebraska
stands as a unit, honestly confident
of the wisdom of the renomination
of Harrison and the nomination of
Reid as his running mate. The
Kearney convention settled that-
mi n i
mere were men irom all over cue
state, the majority of whom, it is
fair to say, had held other prefer
ences than iiiirnsou two months
before tht meetincr. But there was
A-Gbange, and the people, as well as
the astute leaders, who see into the
future more clearly sometimes than
their fellows, all agreed that the
man, above all others, who repre
sented the policy and principles of
his part', and the one most likely
to win, was Benjamin Harrison.
Nebraska then has the fulfillment
of its wish, and the republican party
within it is bound by the cords of a
common sympathy to work and
vote for its choice. Nebraska City

The refusal of the Kansas inde
pendents to fuse with the democrats
makes republican success in that
state doubly sure.

The cry of the independents is
that this country has so many mill
ionaires. They probably do not
consider the fact that there are but
few millionaires who did not start
in life poor and gain their wealth by
frugal economy and ability to earn
money. This proves that the coun
try offers better chances for poor
men to secure wealth than any other

Sejtator Peffer is still tinkering

to compel the government to open
a real estate omce aud loan money

ot speculative genius never round

would have Uncle bam give away
the public domain, and then compel
him to turn around and buy much
of it back again, for that is just
what it would amount to. There
are hundreds of people in the United
btates who would, if it were pos
sible to mortgage their homesteads
at a five or even four per cent rate
of interest, would secure every dollar
the' could and never make an effort
to redeem them. The scheme is
the most visionary ever brought to
public gaze, It places as a function
of. government an imquitiou3 pass

American people have no use. Who

interests by supporting Grover
Cleveland for the presidency, thus

The American home is the one
thing we cannot afford to lose out
of our American life. The Ameri
can home, where the father abides
in the respect, and the mother in
the deep love of Ihc children that
sit. about the fireside: where all that
makes us good is taught and the
first rudiments of obedience to law,
of orderly relations, one to another,
are put into the young minds. That
which distinguishes us from other
nations whose political experience
and history have been full of strife
and discord, is the American home,
where one wife sits in single un
crowned glory. President Harrison.
The democratic platform de
nounces reciprocity as "a deceit and
fraud. Eighteen months ago the
leading democratic papers were
chuckling over Blaine's idea of re
ciprocity, aud claimed that it was a
i
concession to democracy, and was
practically free trade. It may have
deceived the democrats, who thought
to make political capital out of the
move at that time, but since they
see it was a grand diplomatic move
of James Or. Blaine, in the interest
of the trade of the country, and
regarded as a noble achievement for
the republican administration, they
face about and denounce it as a
"deceit and fraud." The American
people re)ish such "deceits and
frauds" that open up the markets
of the world for our manufactured
goods, and products of the farm, by
which our country is benefitted mil
lions of dollars annually. Ex.

The democratic plank on the
question of reciprocity is simply
this: We denounce the work ot
the republican party in arranging
for an exchange of non-competitive
articles with the South American
nations, and demand that goods
manufactured by cheap European
labor be admitted freely to come in
competition with American factories
and American workmen.

Forced on His Party.
It is unprecedented that a presiden
tial candidate forced upon his own state
in opposition to the unanimous vote of
its regularly constituted, recognized and
unchallenged delegation can carry that
state. Mr. Cleveland has been forced
upon New York in tho teeth not only of
a solid delegation held together under
tho unit rule, but a delegation every
one of -whoso members has, more or less
explicitly, expressed himself individual
ly in opposition to Mr. Cleveland as a
candidate, and has given his reasons for
his opposition. These Beventy-two del'
egates have no confidence in Mr. Cleve
land's ability to carry the state; they do
not approve his uso of executive power
during his term of office, and their
knowledge of tho sentiment of tho vot
ers of their party in this state qualifies
them to speak with authority when they
declare that their sentiments are shared
by tho rank and file of the Democracy
of their state. New York Commercial
