As was expected, the delibera tions of the repiildican convention which met at Lincoln yesterday were characterized by prudence, honesty and a thorough desire to act for (he best interest of the parly. The delegates represented the l ank and tile of the republican, pai t y and the result is a ticket upon which the members of the parly can uiiiteau.l the adoption ot a genuine repub lican platform. At 1 1:2.") the meeting was call to order by Chairman Watson ot Up state central committee who in nil dresseiled the convention in a short enthusiastic speech. Geo. H. Thlinnel of Grand Island was selected as chairman, and Walt. Seely was made secretary. Resolutions were adopted send ing greeting to the republicans in Ohio. The platform is a genuine icpub lican one and can not fail to bring into the fold, many who have temporarily wandered into by paths. It expresses high regard for President Harrison and approves his administration; approves the courageous act of the last congress which coins the product of the American mines, but denounces the"fseeand unlimited" policy as set forth by the democratic party; approves the tariff legislation of the last congress and heartily favors the reciprocity clause and its effect in opening foreign mar kets for our products; demands an equitable adjustment of freight rates, fair alike to the consumer, the shipper and the railroads; de nounces the democratic state plat form aa framed to deceive the votes, and it closes by appealing to the intelligence and integrity of all good people for support of the party nominees' The platform is truly republican and gives general satisfaction. The candidates for supreme judge were then nominated. The first ballots gave Reese the lead, with Cobb following closely and Post in the rear. On the second ballot Cobb went two votes ahead of Rcrese. In the 3rd ballot Post gained consider ably though he was still in the rear. In the fourth and decisive ballot Post received the necessary 2H7 votes. On motion he was unanimously declared the nominee of the con vention. Messrs. C. H. Marple, of Douglas, and II. P. Shumway, of Dixon, were unanimously nominated regents of the University. Jiach of these gentle men are college bred men anil well iualified for the position to which they have been chosen. The ticket gives almost universal satisfaction to the party, and dele gates and defeated candidates re turn to their homes enthusiastic for the nominees ami sanguine of party success.

Mr. Men Frans had the misfortune to lone ons of his horses, last Mon day. While his sons were using thini they had to drive near six or seven hives of bees, when one of the swarms was accident!)- disturbed, and upon their making an unusual hum the other swarms gathered in from their hives and made a feto cious attack upon the team and driver. Alter considerable diffi culty the team was unhitched from the load and it was not lintill they were led into the brush that the bees could be whipped off them. It seems that some of the bees got into one horse's mouth and stung it so as to cause the throat to swell shut, thereby causing its death. Union Ledger.

M. A (J. and Pennsylvania Central, and over the A. V. R. R. to my old home, Reynoldsville. Reynoldsville is located in the center of the great bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania and has about - a,000 inhabitants, not in cluding the suburbs, where the miners principally reside. About 7.) per cent of these miners have homes of their own, and many of them possess horse and buggy. To bear the reports in the west regard ing the poverty and distress of miners, and then come east and find just the reverse, is certainly amusing. In conversation with leading local men, I find that the average miner earns from $T5 to $100 per month, according to the ability of the man; and, notwith standing all this, there is dissatis faction among many of them. They remind me of a Cass county office-holder-they not only want the earth, but a fence around it. is no uncommon thing to hear the chimes of an organ or piano in the homes of these coal diggers. There are about 1,800 miners in Reynoldsville and vicinity, and the monthly pay roll amounts to nearly $100,000. They have about 2,000 coke ovens, and to see them in full blast at night is beyond description. A line of fire a mile in length is no uncommon thing here. In obedience to a state law, after this month miners will receive their wages every two weeks. The are mostly foreigners Germans, Welshmen, I'lHglishmen, Irishmen, and a very few Italians. The capacity of one mine- the Hell Lewis is about 140 carsperday. The coal is taken out of the hills from thirty five to seventy feet above the line of railroad and is conveyed on an incline into the cars. One of the largest tanneries in the east is located here, having about 300 men on its pay rolls; also a large woolen mill, employing many men. I find the hills and valleys the same as I left them twenty years ago, and but few of my old school mates. When I got off the train there were about 1.T0 people at the depot and among them I did not recognize a face. It reminded me of old Kip Van Winkle; and when I met some of my acipiaintatices of days of yore, I think from their looks of surprise it slruck them a little the same way. I leave to morrow for Niagara Falls, Mutfalo, Toronto, and back by way of Phila delphia, and will go home by the Grand Trunk Railway running through Canada. Will write you again when I return from the Falls. M.

The honor of being a nominee for county superintendent fell very gracefully and unexpectedly upon the broad shoulders of J. R. Leyda. He was not a candidate but he got there just the same. The aad news comes from I'latts mouth stating that the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dickson, died Sunday evening. The funeral was held from the home of F. M. Richey at 2 o'clock Tuesday. II. J. Slreight who is appointed by the postofliee department to visit the postaftices in ('ass county, was here Wednesday and reported find ing lilinwood postollicc for the past two years faultless and second to none in the county for regularity. The many friends of F. Dickson in this end of the county are much pltfased to hear of hi success in se curing the nomination for county clerk by acclamation. Frank's faith in the grand old principle has never wavered and he will make a noble race. Wisely, conservatively and man fully the republicans placed L. C lvickhoff at the head of the ticket for county treasurer. Mr. Fvickhoff's nominal ion was uaanimotis and by acclamation, notwithstanding the ring force that tried to draw him from the fight.
