Democrat to the Front, with Aealst. ance from Omaha. As per announcement a ratification mectiug over the nomination of Cleve land and Hendricks, was held at the opera house in this city, last night. Owing largely to the hearty support given the question of a ratification meeting by the Herald, and the lib eral advertising of the same in the col umns of this paper, the best advertis ing medium in the city, a goodly crowd was in attendance, over one half of whom were republicans, and who par ticipated in the applause and enjoyed the entertainment to the full extent. The most enthusiastic Cleveland men iu the city are among the republicans, who realize that his nomination gives Blaine a practical surety ol the elec tion. The poverty of the democratic party in this city in the line of speakers for such occasions was never more mani fest than last evening when the man agers sent to Omaha to get speakers to conduct a local ratification meeting, and it was well that it was done, for a patient and long waiting public needed something way-up, to fill the long felt want. The B. & M. band, the best band in the state of Nebraska, by a long way, opened the meeting with music, and Mr. J. N. Wise, who, for lo, these many years, has, faithfully and patiently called democratic meetings to order, as ccuded the stage and nominated A. W. Crites for chairman, a voice 6houted a second to the motion, and the south west corner of the room elected him by acclamation. Mr. Crites ascended the platform, walked once around the stand and water pitcher and with a forced smile at the waiting audience, he open ed his lips and addressed the multi tude. His remarks were largely pre paratory, In which the Chicago con vention was cited, and a biography of the candidates was given. He elabor ated Mr. Cleveland's biography with the statement of his hanging two men, dwelling with unction on the statement that they were republican murderers, although where he obtained the politi cal proclivities of the two condemned men might be hard to answer. How ever it was undoubtedly an elaborate circumstance in favor of Mr. Cleveland, and a stunning blow to republicans, which the audience failed entirely to catch on to. Mr. Hendricks was re ferred to as one of the old ticket; this brought forth the surging, long pent up applause, aud the -chair immediately closed, and proceeded to introduce Mr. Jacob Houck, of Omaha, who spoke to the audience in German. The audience gave Mr. Ilauck the very best of atten tion, and he was listened to very atten tively by the Germans in the audience, who evidently appreciated his remarks. The Herald listened with the closest attention, and is satisfied that the speech wa9 right to tho point aud votes it a good one. The band then furnished music and received rounds of cheers, after which the chairman introduced Mr. J. T. 11c riarty, of Omaha, and the fun com menced. The speaker was keen, witty, and as full of fun as his audience. He announced himself as an American cit itizen, as an Irish-American citizen and as an Irish-American democrat. He then announced the democratic par ty as a party of-inspiration, and demo crat? as prophets. Then came ihe speech, through all of which no com parison was made between the parties, the candidates or the principles upon which the parties stood. Indeed, the audience forgot practically, that they were in a political meeting, for there was no politics in it. He referred to the demoorntic flag, and looked around the hall in vain for one, but th te was no si-ii of a flag to be seen; this was a great oversight, to have a great patriotic meeting and no banner. Mr. Moriarity grew eloquent m pic turing the future of the country after democrats possessed it. lie quoted scripture like a preacher, to tne intense surprise of many in the audience, who were not used to such things, end he drew a picture of the millennium, upon, which imagination soared away in the greatest delight at the yards of can vas he could uuroll and all in one pic tare. Everyone abandoned politics and went wit'i the speaker on his tour of absurdit . and not a man in the room but tho'-..- it wben he finished that he had fifty v its worth of fun, and was ready for .nore; but politics were suf fering, i the tact that this was a meeting rv-ify Cleveland aud Hen dricks, .v:i- J: early forgotten. A glauca at the -.i;.irmfl , the stand and the water i c'jer, however, broaght all back to realization of "what are we here for.' and the Chair introduci-d Mr. S!" . likewise of Omaha, and tacked : Dame tne cheap title cf Judg?. Mr. Stowe proceeded at once to dive.-.:. :-iai5elf of the title, by relat ing thi: Jt4rrowiug fact that he had nev er tern t lected to any office, and didn't know zh:it he had ever voted a ticket 1 upon which any one was elected. Applause was secured by reference to Tilden and the old ticket, an 1 the speaker struck for corruption. Among other frauds and corruptions in high places he mentioned the back salary grab, but he forgot to mention that more democrats than republicans voted for the measure. He denounced the fraud 1876, an I the electoral com mission, but he did not mention the fact that the commission was a crea ture of democratic mold and sanctity. He dwelt upon the frauds in Louisiana iu that year, and the military at the polls there, but he failed to mention that parishes in that State that in 1874 gave republican majorities were not al lowed to cast a republican vote. Here in reference to the fraud of 1S7C ho had occasion to appeal to the Hag; but thtr.? was uo Hag to be been; nod Ihe many colore 1 drop cuitmu was all that his gaze rested upon. Meanwhile the crowd was becoming wearied, and the hour late many in the gallery liad already passed out, and they kfpt mov ing out ironi among the audience, until the movement became general, and al most the entire audience departed, stop ping the speaking, and without cheers for the candidates, or formal adjourn ment. Au ineffectual ' attempt was made to hold a portion, but the last view of the hall did not show but very few there. hjcitteriug cheers were made o the sidewalk and the ratification was over. To a man up a tree, just where much, if any, ratification of Cleveland came in it would be hard to tell. Any reference to Tilden aud the traud of 7 brought cheers from the democrats, and the fun gem-rated by Mr. Moriarity was loudly cheered all around. Tuerj seemed to be as mauy republi cans out as democrats, and they enjoyed it all just as much, as there was in it, and there was a good deal for them. Altogether, the Hkkald could not be better pleased over this ratification, which, iu behalf of Mr. Cleveland we have so earnestly demanded. To be j sure there wasn't much thought or said about M: . Cleveland, but the effort was made in proper shape, and our demo- j cratic friends are to be congratulated j ou waking up. The public would like to have heard how Plattsmouth likes the nominations, but as it was speech less assistance trom Omaha was perfect ly in order, and in the prophetic words of Mr. Moriarity, "The Lord Gd Om nipotent reigneth.'' Arkansas Barbarity. Sheriff Eikeabary returned from Lit tle Rock, Arkansas, a few days ago where he' had been after Ad Ingram, who was puttiug in the last days of a year's sentence in the Arkansas peni tentiary on the charge of buiglary, and grand larceny, said to have been com mitted in Ciark county, uoar Ark idel phia, iu that State. The Sheriff brought Mr. Ingram home with him, and lodged hiwi in the coacty jail, he being as is gene.'a'dy known, uuder indictment for complic ity in the Louisville car robberies of a little over a year ago. The IIeuald having heard that pris on life in the South was worse than Siberia, nougat an interview with Mr. Ingraham, which through the kin lceis of Sheriff Eikenbary was readily ob tained. The unfortunate boy i3 a spare built, light complected youth, aboLt 19 years of age, find as he sat there dejected and gloomy in his cell, whether guilty or nest, at least the victim of badjeompa ny, he certainly seemed deserving of sympathy. He answered our interrogatories with seeming frankness, and with no appareut grudges, that would teud.to an exaggeration of the facts. Our youthful informant s;iid the peni tentiary was a large bricii structure situated withiu the corporate limits of the city, and surrounded by a brick wall twenty-two feet high which en closed all the buildings and about tetf acres of land. Six hindred prisoners were enrolled, thirty of whom, are women. The only business carried on in the buildings was a cigar factory, in which were worked about sixty men; the bal ance of the prisoners were let out on contract to work ou the quarries, coal mines, brick yards and cotton fields, in diTereut parts of the State. A days work always was from sun up until sundown with only time enough at noou to eat their dinners, which was usually done in a short time Mr. Icgram dec'aring that in the en tire pear he never got a full meal or tasted any other thau coru bread or any other meat than half cooked fat pork, nothing to drink except water, and that, while t hey were picking cot ton, wa3 dipped out of the Red Ri-er, and was sa warm that it sickened rath er than slaked thirst. The work was generally let out to each man iu ta-k3, and the tisks put so high that only the most active and vigorous could possibly reach the point desired, for instance, in pickingcotton 200 pounds was a days' work and woe be it to the sickly or unlucky individ ual who fell short of it. as the punish ment which wai always effecteJ, was of the most brutal that could be im agined. Tho hands wcro tied forward to the feet, the back and hips stripped bare, and a muscular southerner with a strap 2 inches wide and two feet long, some times beat the flesh to a bloody pulp so that the prisoner could not sit down with any degree of comfort for weeks afterward. These flagellations while not always so severe, were very frequent, being given on the slightest pretext, on one occasion, 50 were punished the same day. Mr. Ingram says that ho saw one man whipped until ho died within five minutes afterward and that he has seen sickly men, who, after being whipped several times, and not doing much work, shot down in their tracks from befciio tho other prisoners. He relates witn horrifying detail, the the particular of numerous cases of brutality that are sickening in the ex treme and almost equal in some in stances, to the infamies ot Auderson ville. We can scarcely believe that men should be so bereft of humanity and feeling as to make the above mentioned facts possible. TEItSONALS. Mr. and Mrs D. A.
