THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The republican party of the wtate of Nebraska gives renewed expreH nion of its devotion to tlie tirinci plen of the republican party and de--lsircH that tboae principlea, hh ex lretned by the national republiciin convention, nhould be the Htrong point of union between all repub licans in the state of Nebraska. We congratulate the people upon the marvelous prosperity attending the developtnent and growth of the Htateof Nebraska during its twenty four years of statehood under re publican administration, and which has brought us to the front rank Hinong the lead in)' states of the union; und we can fearlessly assert that no state which has been con trolled by democratic power.duritig uuy considerable time of the same period, can compare with us in the economical management of public affairs, in the rapid ratio of increase in population, wealth and general Jirosperity, notwithstanding the act that there are within the borders of the state a number of dissatisfied persons who took ad vantage oi the general financial de pression which swept over the en tire country to pave their way into temporary prominence tiy declaim ing against the welfare of our peo ple and slandering the fair name of mr state. The rains from heaven and the rich soil, vigorously culti vated by the energetic hands ot our farmers, have produced such bount iful crops and such unrivaled pros perity that shall silence all calam ity talkers and add to the strength and enthusiasm of the republican party. We congratulate President Harri son upon bin eminently wise, loyal and courageous admin istrat ion, and declare our absolute confidence in his integrity, ability and patrio tism, and pledge him our cordial Hupport in the discharge of thi duties devolving upon him as the -hief magistrate of the nation. We rejoice in the restoration of dignity, vigor and statesmanship in the conduct of our foreign a II air under the guiding hand of Amer ica's favorite sou, James G. Maine. We approved! the silver coinage act of the present administration, ly which the entire product of the silver mines of the I'nitcd States is added to the currency of the people, tint we denounce the democratic doctrine of free and unlimited coin age of silver as a financial policy liable to precipitate the people of overy city and every state in the I'niou in a prolonged and disas trous depression, and delay the re vival of business enterprise mid prosperity so ardently desired and now so apparently near. The free and unlimited coinage of silver would tend to the hoarding of gold und to force the use of cheap money in the payment of wages in every workshop, mill, factory, store and farm, and tend to the scaling down of the wages ot the toilers and weakening the purchasing power of the dollar which would Censed to purchase the products of the farmer, We are in favor of having every dollar as good as any other dollar. We demand the maintenance of the American system of protection to American industry and labor, the policy that lias iieen ulcntiiieu with every period ot our national pros tierity. We admire t!.e genius of that heroic statesman, William NcKin ley, Jr., wliom the people of Ohio will make their next governor as a recognition of his magnificent ser vices to the country. We also com mend and endorse that policy of re ciprocity by which the Central and 5outh American nations anu uie Spanish Indies are being opened up to our trade upon favorable terms and by which all the surplus products of our country may find a market and ny wiitcn an our people - shall receive"! n exchange therefore a long line ot products which do ...jiot produce ruinous competition n.nong our own people nor destroy the developing industries of our country. We are heartily in favor of the general provisions of the interstate commerce act, and we demand the regulation of all railway and trans portation lines in such a manner as . i i ...... .... to insure lair anu reasoiiuuic mi" to the producers and consumers of the country. We favor such legislation as will prevent all illegal combinations and un just exactions by aggregated capital and corporate powers. We insist upon the suppression of all trusts, combines and schemes de signed to artificially increase the price of the necessaries of life. We regard the world's Columbian expoHition as an important event in the world's history, and we are in hearty sympathy with every effort to make it a success. We should make a creditable exhibit of Nebraska's product, and we favor an additional appropriation by the next legislature for this purpose, that our prosperity and greatness may be fully exemplified. We take pride in thin state We recognize tin. its growth and power, its pros perity and good name have been the fruits of its industrial people, and we believe in such policies, state and national, as will promote justice and widen the opportunities among these classes, lo their sup port in the future, as in the past, we pledge our most intelligent judg ment and most sincere endeavor. We denounce the Grand Island platform of the democratic party as framed with the deliberate purpose to niisliad and deceive; wherein sympathy is expressed where none is felt; wherein help is proposed where none is rendered; wherein purposes are avowed which are not entertained. In support of this in dictment we point to the pretended friendship for the soldier, while at the same time the democratic party has always proclaimed against the granting of liberal pensions; to the free silver punk, intended to deceive the supporters of free and unlim ited coinage ot silver, when it is known that many of the leaders of the party are opposed to the doc trine; to the failure to give the re lief from exhorbitant freight rates while it was afraid to either ap prove or censure the action of its acting alien governor for vetoing the Newberry bill. We denounce the democratic party for its insinuations auainst the integrity of the supreme court of the state as an elfort to make the judicial powers subordinate to political parties anu as uisgraceiui to a political organization. We denounce the democratic party for its double dealing with the civil and political rights of the people, wherein it appears to favor free and untranimeled elections in the state of Nebraska, but never raises its voice against the political outrages practiced against the re publican voters, white and black, throughout the democratic states of the south. We arraign the democratic party as the enemy of labor, scheming t.) break down the defense of protec tive laws, to block the wheels of home industry, and to degrade the masses of the people a party con trolled by aristocratic and sectional tendencies, the legacy of slavery. The republican party of Nebraska appeals to the intelligence and to the integrity of the people of this state and from all good citizens we invite support. IN a recent issue of the Journal, after severely criticising the Omaha World-Herald for espousing the cause as led by Kdgerton, the editor of that paper closes with the follow ing words: ''It is melancholy tq think of a man of bright prospects like Mr. Hitchcock, throwing them to the dogs." Notwithstanding this attack upon Mr. Hitchcock, the Journal comes out in yesterday's issue and makes a laborious and long winded attempt to prove that Kdgerton should be elected. Tub 1Ikkau surmises that this dish of cold crow which the editor of the Journal takes with apparent relish, is, in a measure, repugnant to his better tastes, and why he has con cluded to go over to the dogs also, we arc at a loss to account. After making h is remarkable flop the editor proceeds to take the course always adopted by the van qui shed, and charges Judge Tost with being a railroad man. This amounts to nothing in the face of the record which Judge Post has made, and the unmistakable evi dences of his meritorious Hervieia in behalf of the people as evidenced by testimony of his neighbors of all parties. Our contemporary proceeds to quote the democratic platform and applies it to the views entertained by Kdgerton. Now it matters little what the democratic platform de clares, in the face of their past rec ord. The independent party favors the Newberry bill as vetoed by Gov. Hoyd. If the democratic and independent parties are one on railroad control, why, Mr. Journal, did not the democratic convention condemn Boyd's veto and approve the Newberry bill? WE are surprised that our demo cratic contemporaries do not keep prominently before the people, the beneficial results likely to accrue to our people, in the event of the adoption of the proposed law favor ing the free and unlimited coinage of silver. We suppose, however, that they take notice of the way af fairs are terminating in Iowa, Ohio, New York and elsewhere and are content to "lay low." A good crop and a ready market is assered, turn jack frost and the calamity howler loose. Now that Hroady has declined, where will the democracy find a candidate to run against Judge Post? Tin: republican party lias selected Post which suggests the idea that it will be looking after its fences henceforth. FkEK silver and free trade are the battle cries of the democracy. It will be a free pass up Salt Creek after the November election. TlIK republican county ticket represents all sections of the coun ty, which will serve to unite the different factions and insure a triumphant election of the ticket. THE republican theory is, that when the farmer sell his products for 1,00 he should be paid in money worth 100 cents. The democratic theory is that he should be paid in a 75 cent dollar. Which do you prefer to receive. TlIK republican party declares that the Union soldiers should be paid in a dollar worth 100 cents, throughout the world, while the democracy claims that a 75 cent dollar is good as he deserves. There is nothing at all surprising in that, however. Kvory western newspaper that ex presses an opinion in regard to the matter, favors Omaha as a suitable location for the republican national convention. It is but natural that the eastern papers would favor Chicago, owing to its eainess of ac cess for the east; but it is certainly a just demand that ' the west be represented, and in that event, the unanimous choice will be. the metropolis of Nebraska. THE Manner, published at Athens, Ga., the official organ of the Al liance of that state speaks as fol lows concerning the third party movement in that 8tate:"There is no new south! Call it the south, if you please.but not the new south. Not tin til the names of Lee and Jackson nnd of the immortal Jeff Davis have faded Iroin the hearts of the patriots. The political attitude of the south to-day is not unlike the attitude she held when she called upon her sons to shoulder their muskets and inarch fourth to bat tle for over wrong. The solid south must not be broken. Let us stand by the democracy. The democracy of Ohio is badly torn up and the fool friends of Gov ernor Ca mpbell are digging a pit under him that will upset all his plans for a campaign of silence on the coinage question. Young Al len Thurman and other demagoguic leaders have disobeyed the com mands of the Mate central com mittee and have taken the stump for free and unlimited coinage thinking that they will make hay out of the cranks and soft money lunatics and build up themselves at the expense of the party which is hopelessly divided on the coinage plank of the state platfrom. Consequently the sliver question is rapidly becoming the main issue in spite of the determination of the managers of the democratic conern to drop it out of sight and howl against the McKinley bill. The victory of Major McKinley and the republican party is already as sured by these tactics of the enemy, - Line In Journal. RECIPROCITY. On the first day of September the reciprocity treaty between the United States and the West Indies went into effect. Prior to this agreement, our government placed a duty upon West India sugar, molasses and other tropical prod ucts and she had a tariff upon our products. Hut by this treaty all duties have been removed and goods admitted into each country without hinderance. Is this uot right? It appears to us, to bethe 'only proper thing to do. What can this country gain by placing a tariff upon a comniodoty. we cannot produce? Such a tariff cannot have a tendency to stimu late home production, and conse quently, the amount of the tariff would be added to the original cost of the article and be paid by the consumer. The tariff is not protec tion because it does not protect the American, but on the contrary it serves as a tax, purely. This is an exchange that will create a vigorous demand for dm products of the American farm and in return it will enable our people to obtain necessaries of life without paying the tariff.

Put What you are paying out for Rent into a home. 7 per cent money for persons wishing to build in South Park. Look to the Future ana invest now in South Paxk. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME. Among other reasons why it is r better to invest in South Park than elsewhere in the city, are these: Property is more saleable if you .wish to sell, more rentable if you wish to rent; if looking for an in crease in value.no other part of the city will compare with it in prospect The 5th ward composed largely of South Park, less than three years ago could hardly muster up a vote at the last general election the vote was 131) and all were not polled. It has been less than two years since the city invited us into the corpor ate limits, yet we have over one hun dred newly built house ond others in process of construction, owned, with few exceptions, by the parties now living in them. This part of the city has a store water mains, electric arc lights, church and school priveledges and a new church edifice just erected of which the whole city is proud. -Plattsmouth's steady growth for five years past almost doubling its population; the advance stand it has taken regarding public im provements, the certainty of a new $80,000 court house; the completion of the great Missouri Pacific rail way into this city, giving us anoth er great trunk line and competing market; the constant increasing pay roll of the C. H. St (J. shops, to gether with many other well known reasons, assure a steady ami perma nent advance in realty, which will doubtless effect South Park more favorably than any other portion of Plattsmouth. With a tiVio to theenixniruyemenl of a -still greater growth of this part of the city, we will continue to sell lots on monthly payments, furnish money with whivh to erect houses will ex tjhonye lots fur other improved city property or for desirable improved or unimproved lands. It is not so much the speculator as the permanent resident that we wish to purchase this disirable property. Out of over EIC.HTY pres ent owners of South Park property none are speculators hence there are no fictitous values and lots are selling at about the price they were immediatly after it was platted a strong argument ! why the present is a most desirable j time for investment.
