We coniinlu1aie President Harri

declare our absolute contidence in
his integrity, ability and patrio

support in the discharge of the

chief magistrate of the nation.
We rejoice in the restoration of
dignity, vijfor and statesmanship in
the conduct of our foreign affairs
muler the guiding hand of Arner-
ica'a favorite son, James G. Blaine.
We approve ot the silver coinage
act of the pn-nent administration,
by which the entire product of the
. silver ininen of the United States ia
Nitdded to the currency of the people,
Init we denounce the democratic
doctrine of free and unlimited coin
age of silver nfl a Iinancial policy
hable to precipitate the people of
every city and every state in the
Union in a prolonged and disas
trous depression, and delay the re
vival of business enterprise and
prosperity so ardently desired and
now so apparently near. The free
and unlimited coinage of silver
would tend to the hoarding of gold
and 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 of the toilers and
weakening the purchasing power of
the dollar which would be used to
purchase the products of the farmer.
We are in favor of having every
dollar us good as iv other dollar.
We demand the maintenance of
the American system of protection
to American industry and labor, the
policy that has been identified with
every period of our national pros
perity. We admire the ireuius of that
heroic statesman, William MeKiit
ley, Jr., whom the people of Ohio
will iiinke thfir next governor as a
recognition of his mai;iiiticent ser
vices to the eountrj. also com
mend and endorse that policy of re
ciprocity by which the Central ami
South American nations and the
Spanish Indies are being opened up
to our trade upon favorable terms
ami by which nil the surplus
products of our country may find a
4 market and by which all our people
w hall receive in exchange therwfore

not produce ruinous competition

We regard the world's Columbian
exposition as an unponaiu cvem in
the world's history, and we are in
hearty sympathy with every elfort
to make it a success. We nhould
make a creditable exhibit of
Nebraska's products, and we favor
un additional appropriation by the
next legislature for this purpose,
that our prosperity and greatness
may be fully exemplified. We take
pride in this state We recognize
that 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
Hinong these classes. It) 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 Ifdand
platform of the democratic party us
framed with tho deliberate purpose
to misl. ad and deceive; wherein
sympathy is expressed where none
in 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 nt
the same time the democratic party
has always proclaimed against the
granting of liberal pensions; to the
freesilver plank, intended to deceive
the supporters of free and unlim
ited coinage of 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 cxhorbitant 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
paitv for its insinuations again.-.!
the integrity of the supreme court
of the state as an elfort to make the
j'jdieial iovers subordinate to
polities, parties and as disgraceful
to a political o:';ani.alioii.
We denounce the democratic
parly for ils double dealing wit b
the civil and political rights of Un
people, wherein it appears to favor
free and tiutraminelcd elections in
the slate ot Acbrasna, but never
raises its voice against the political
outrages practiced against the re
publican voters, while and black,
throughout the democratic slates of
the south.
We iirrnii; n the democratic party
as the enemy of labor, scheming t.
break down (he 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 ami from all good citi.ens we
invite support.
A COMPLETE VINDICATION.
Shortly after the World-Herald
published its villainous attack up
on Judge Post, the Lincoln Journal
sent a representative to I,con with
instructions to ascertiun facts in
the case as viewed by the repre
sentative men of the village.
In a four column article heshowa
conclusively that it is a campaign
fake of the first water. Prominent
citizens of Leon, regardless
o f party aflilin lions, d e
uoituce the World-Herald in the
bitterest term they can with pro
priety command. The secretary of
the Grand River Lodge A. K. A. M.
N. P. Uullock writes a half column
letter which he says that Judge
Post's letter denying the charge is
not ns strong in his own defense
as the facts would justify. He pro
ceeds to state, as we have before
published, that a charge of seduc
tion was made, but the grand jury
after giving a thorough investiga
tion, dismissed the ease at the
plaintilT's cost and that he was
never expelled from the lodge, lie
cites, as an incident of the es
teem in which Judge' Poet
is held there, the fact that fifty
copies of the World-Herald con
taining the libel were sent the I,coi;
Reporter, the leading democratic
paper in the county, but the editor,
not behoving the charge true and
knowing the sentiment of the citi
teus of Leon, promptly returned
the papers, accompanied by a
stinging rebuke to the wilful fabri
cator and champion fake.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the lodge
from which it isalleged Judge Post
was expelled:
Resolved, That we have read with
sorrow and regret the malicious
and grossly exaggerated charge
published in the Omaha World
Herald Oct. IS, ISM, against our
brother, Hon. A. M. Post of Colum
bus, Neb.
Resolved, That said charge is in
the main false, grossly exaggerated
and wholly unjustifiable and being
done solely for political purposes,
is an outrage on decency; and we
hereby extend to Brother A. M.
Post and his family our sincere
sympathy; and we pass these reso
lutions as a "token' of our esteem
and confidence in him, and as a
denunciation of saitl article.
Resolved, That we recognize in
Brother A. M. Post a man of honor
and integrity; and one who has the
entire confidence, esteem and re
spect of this lodge, and ot the peo
ple generally, in this vicinity, und
we denounce the Matement tiiat lie
was expelled from this lodge a
false in toto.
K.-solved, That the secretary of
this lodge be instructed to furnish
these resolutions, under seal of the
lodge, to tl.e Omaha World-Herald,
where said article appeared, to the
Nebri ska Slate Journal, and to the
Ouiuhu liee, for publication.
Statu ok low a, ) ..

1. N. P. Uullock, secretary of the
Grand River lodge No. S, A. b. and
A. M.. do hereby certify that (it a
meeting of Grand River lodge No.
7S, A. and A. M., held October '&),
1S!)1, the foregoing resolutions were
unanimously adopted, every mem
ber present voting therefor. I
further certify that the records of
the lodge show that Brother A. M.
Post, prior to the time that he went
to Nebraska, was a member of
Grand River lodge No. "J8, A. F. and
A. M., in goodandregularstanding,
and that on the ZUi day of January,
ls7ti, he petitioned the lodge for a
demit, and the same was regularly
granted by a vote of the lodge.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and the seal of
this lodge, at Leon, la., this 21st day
of October, lS'Jl.
N. p. Bullock,
Secretary Grand River Lodge No.
78, A. F. and A. M.
Tho Leon Reporter (dem) had the
following cditoriil immediately
after the publication of the sluuder
in the World-Herald:
"The Omaha World Herald oflast
Sunday contains a three-column
letter purporting to have been
written from Leon, making n most
villinous attack on Judge A. M.
Post, a former citizen of Leon, who
is n candidate for judge of the
supreme court in Nebraska. Mr.
Post lived in Leon for many years,
and enjoyed the esteem ami respect
of all our citizens. The letter i
full of misrepresentations and is
published solely for the purpose
of inj drying Mr. Post, and if
possible to prevent his election.
Although politically we are op
posed to Mr. Post we condemn such
disreputable methods of this polit
ical opponents. The Reporter does
not believe in carrying on a cam
paign of ditty attacks against a
man's private character, and bring
ing his innocent wife and children
into the light. We cannot believe
for a moment that the letter was
written by any citizen of Leon or
Decataur county."
The following editorials appears
in The Fact (alliance): "The malig
nity of Nebraska politics has just
been exhibited in a sensational
article in the World-Herald, a dem
ocratic paper in Omaha, in reviving
an old scandal against Judge A. M.
Post, formerly a resident of Lew.
Mr. Post haa been a district judge
in Nebraska for ten or twelve years,
and i.s now the republican candidate
for supreme judge. In order to en
compass his defeat the World-Herald
revives the old charge against i
him of twenty years ago, and by
skilfully working into said charges
just enough of truth to give them
on apperance of fairness and can
dor, produces a defamatory article
calculated to do Judge Post great
injustice. Our oldest citizens who
know the charges made and met,
and the general circumstances sur
rounding them, pronounce the
article referred to, as grossly false
and malicious, and a paper to this
effect, circulated in our city
yesterday, was signed by our citi
zens without regard to political be
lief. The contemptible meanness
of the paper referred to, is shown by
its sending a bundle of the issue
containing the scandalous article
here for distribution. These pa
pers were sent to members of the
party opposed to Mr. Post, who, to
their credit be said, refused to
handle them, and returned them to
the publishers. In the article,
nuiniig other falsehoods, it is as
serted that Mr. Post found Leon too
hot for him, and emigrated immedi
ately. Our citi.ens know this to be
false. He was a citizen of Leon for
rive or six years after the charges
were made.
By appointineut of General Grant
he was made consul to the Cape
Verde island in 1K71, serving until
1S70; moving to Nebraska in the
winter of 1S70. He was never in
dicted, as the article charges, und
was not expelled from the Masonic
lodge. We can overlook a great
deal in the heat of a politicnl cam
paign when used for political pur
poses, but the sending of these in
famous paper into our midst ex
hibits a nialicoiisness and mean
ness below the ordinary depths of
partisn politics. J inline Post has
nothing to fear from a thorough
investigation of his character ami
reputation in our midst.
The correspondent was unable to
find more than three of the grand
jurymen before whom the charge
was made. Here is their testimony:
I.W.Yost: "I live two and one.
half miles from Leon, and have
lived here since 1S00. I was a mem
ber of the grand jury before whom
the charge of seduction was
brought against A, M. Post. There
was no indictment brought against
him. I know A. M. Post well, and
have always thought very highly
of him. I have heard the article in
the World-Herald read, and know it
tis a most scandalous and untruth
j ful article. I recollect distinctly
; that the woman making the charge
j did not claim that Mr. Post had
! promised to marry her, for I asked
j her the question myself."
John Kirkpatrick (a democrat): "I
j have lived in Leon for thirty-Gve
years. I was a member of the
grand jury before whom the charge
of seduction was made against A.
M. Post. The charge that he was
indicted id false. The evidence was
heard on the woman's side and the
charge was ignored. The woman
swore that she was engaged at the
time of the occurrence to Aaron
Frazier and that Mr. Post had never
promised to marry her. Mr. Post
at all times after the charge had
the respect and confidence of the
entire community and there was
nothing brought out in the investi
fiation that shook the confidence of
the people in him."
S. A. Gates: "I have known Mr.
Post ever since he was a boy. I
was a member of the grand jury at
the time. I know the grand jury
failed to indict him. If it is the
newspaper that ia doing this it is
damnable. If it is a political party
doing it, it is beneath contempt.
People who know Post and the cir
cumstances consider the story as
told in the World-Herald as an out
rage on decency and justice and an
insult to the friends of all con
cerned." dipt. W. A. Abbett, who has long
been with Messrs. Precival and
Hatton, Real Ivslate and Insurance
Brokers, Des Moines, Iowa and is
one of the best known' und most re
spected business men in that city
says: "I can testify to the good
qualities of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Having used it in my
family tor the past eight years, I
can safely say it has no equal lor
either colds or croup." Ml cent bot
