TALKS ABOUT TOWN.
I urn one that was glad when the
I'lattsmouth & Southwestern failed to
materialize, said a well known citizen
of means the other day. I believe that
a road southwest from here would cut
iuto our viry best territory and leave
the citv denendeut uoon its own re-
sou rem, which position we are not
prep.trtd to be placed iu at present.
Piattstnouth, he coutinued, would, but
for the hail cyclone, have enjoyed the
most prosperous time iu its history
this year, and the buttiues men have
but to weather this disadvantage and
reap success iu the future..
We are going to sweep everything
clean in coutny politics this fall, said a
democratic member of the legislature
iu our hearing tho other day. The re
publicans havn't a candidate but that
lias some opposition in their ranks, and
we are going to have everything hat'
mouious with ua and elect our ticket.
As we ambled away, we thought if he
could hear some of the western dele
gates to the democratic convention
talk he would decide that if thev really
had to have harmony that it would
coma very high.
,A prominent republican, while rest
ing his feet on our office stov tha other
day, stated hai he occasionally heard
a republican remark that the nominee
tor district clerk had a hard light to
pud through... I don't understand, he
coutinued, why an industrious, capable,
honest young man as" our nominee is,
should be piedieied as one in danger
of defeat.

I have noticed Democrats never
speak but for their whole ticket. I be
lieve Ilt-publicaua should take especial
pride in electing their ticket entire, and
I'm one ready to do special work fi-r
any man that's liable to tall behind
such men as that are always welcome
at. these headquarters.
Speaking of politics, a Democrat was
attempting to make capital the other
ay, by stating that M. B. Reese, the
candidate for supreme judge, was once
City Cierk of Plattsraouth. It isn't
every man that has the energy and
ability from a small beginning to rise
iu the world to a position commanding
the respect and . endorsement of the
public which brings to him the honor
of the nomination for one of the most
desirable offices in the State, a. man
not possessing ability and public con
fidence would be seeking a renomiua
lion for City Clerk.
I believe said cne of the trio who
rcceutly visited and interviewed the
Holder of the FlattsmoLth City High
School Bonds, in New York City, that
we shall be able to secure an unlimited
extension of time, at a very low rate of
interest, and avoid an oppressive levy
to pay the indebtedness. We are very
confident that all can be arranged sat
isfactorily continued our informant,
and especially so to the city
I think the couuc.il ought to secure

JOSEPH V WECKBACHS
COLORADO CORRESPONENCE.
Denser, Octobea 3, 1863.
The autumm.1-season has come once
more and the summer tourists are de
parting from this State; and those be
longing here who have been soiourning
abroad during the summer are return
ing. This in other States is the time
of political activity, and the guber a-
torial elections are absorbing the minus
1 rf the people and diturluug the ordi
nary current of busiuese. But here,
thanks to the 6) stem of biennial elec
tions, there is little to umuse the poli
tician snve the little matter of county
elections.
The Exposition closed on Sunday
I fruits, am! dairy products, during tho
! reason, and for HaturJty there! was a
competition in pumpkin pies. The en
tries were numerous and the commis
sioners concluded it was bebt to make
a feast of the specimens, and also the
fruit exhibit, and with the ndddition
of other viands a very elaborate spread
w is made to which all visitors were
made welcome. It wu9 a jolly, good
natured time, and at the close of tLe
jaw exercise," there were exercises
of a more intellectual nature at the
speaker's stand. President Irwin Ma
lum, ol the Board of Couimissionjr9t
presided, and there were addresses
from nearly every one of ihe commis
sioners in reply to lonsts to the exhib
iting states, territories and counties.
Mr. Dongl6 Gray, who has represented
Arizona, made a speech, which to s;u
the leuct, was in very bad taste. Early
in the season he had attempted to re
move. the Arizona display from the
building, iu violation of the contract
entered into by the exposition manage
ment and the territory of Arizona,
which contract specified that exhibits
should remain on exhibition until the
close of the Exposition. The man
agement were obliged to use legal
means to prevent the commisioner
finm removing the display, and in con
sequence, the most amicable etate ot
feeling possible did not exist bet ween
the management and Commissioner
Gray. The Board of Commissioners,
while it did not endorse the action of
Mr. Gray, had nothing to do with the
action or the management, and extend
ed the proper courtesy of inviting him
tc speak iu reply to the toast to Arizona
on "their day." ' -Mr. Gray replied to
the toast and took occasion to air jis
personal opinion of the management
and the jude who had issued the re
straiut upon him when he hud attempt
ed to take away his ores, find m so do-
inc. in my liuuiblo opinion, made a
very uncalled for and discourteous dis
play of spleen, for the occasion was a
celebration by his brother commission
ers, and not of the management, and
his was the only incongruous, portion
of the day's programme.
Assistant Secretary Frank II. Wilson,
one of the hardest worked and most
energetic members of the Board
..f management, was made
the recipient of an elegant uold
watch, chain ami Masonic emblem
by the employes of the exposition of
fice. Sunday morning . The presmt
was a deserve'' tribute of esteem to a
worthy official.
The displays of cereals, fruit and
vegetables from Colorado farming dis
tricts during the last few we- ks of the
show was a splendid feature. Among
the great varieties, perhaps Fremont
and Delta counties made the most strik
ing displays. The show of mammoth
vegetables from the last named county
made a striking advertisement for the
prolific qualities of the district and the
value of irrigation.
Well, the show is over, and all in all,
it was a success, The displays were
large and varied and the .management,
while it has probably made no money,
has carried out its plans and fulfilled
its agreements, despite much abuse and
quite a lack of proper encouragement
at its home. The show has already
shown rich returns. Many mines have
been sold, and much done in the way
of starting negotiations whic'a will am
ply repay those interested, for what
little expeuse they were under in mak
the exhibits. One of the most striking
illustrations of the value of the expo -sition
as an advertising medium, is the
experienc of the exhibitors in Pueblo
county. Last year Fueblo made no
show. This year she made a splendid
one. Amoug her exlulmors was Air.
Randall the inventor and proprietor of
Randall's Rock Drill, lie had been to
much expense "and trouble in introduc
ing and advertising his invention pre
viously, and he had seen very meagre
returns. He brought it to the expo
sition and put it in active operation,
and now goes home with 2,508 orders
for the drill.
The Colorado coal and iron company
and the south Pueblo machinery com-uar-y
have each as many orders as they
can Gil for many mouths and coming
from Maine to Sun Francisco, 11 the
result of making full and elaborate dis
plays at the exposition. And so on.
The show has not been closed a half
week and the goa l results ara showing
themseles. It was a grand success.
summation, it would have many a
vantages over the present method of
Conducting the exhibition; one of
which would bo tho effective sileucing
of the captious critic who now fay
thit the enterprise is n private specula
tion. W. M.
