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.

No Excuse for not having a
Home ot Your Own.
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. Much addi-l
tional information regarding South !
Park may be had by calling at my ,
office on Main street over Hank of
Cass County.
