Whes the democracy f Platismouth
attempt to come up to the republicans
in a public demonstration and meeting,
the boys v ill turn out and have an
other meeting. They have just wed
commenced now.
J. L. Caldwell, of Lin oln, one ot
the eloquent public ep rakers of the
state, addressed a P.a:t3inouth audi
ence for the fir-t i i me al the great rai
ly; his tpcech wan replete with elo
puecce, tatriotisin and the facta whicl
make the solid argument and is highh
commended by all. We shall hear from
him again.
When Jame3 G. lilaine was nonii
na:eI by th republioau part', a direct
appeal to that part '3 enthusiasm, to
the younger and more vital elements oi
the party, to the m issea of the peopi
in that party was mad-, aul the people
knew it. No nomi atioa since the
days of Lincon was so enthusiasticalh
ratiiied, and inj'io c tmpa ga in the his
tory of the rvpuMican party have such
campaign meet ings baeu he'd earlv in
tLe fight. In the face of such a fctate
of a Hairs, no prediction a to results
is necessary The enthusiastic massec
of the people rise aDd elect their uom
inee with a charge and a hurrah that
demoralizes and routs the common en
emy. Mr. lilaine, for these reasons,
above any other, sta-tda as gooi as
elected today. A great campaign skil
fully planned, the induence of inter
ested industries, the work of ekilfull
politicians, all aid and contribute to
the general result; but no one factor
will equal the popular uprising aud
enthusiasm of tha people, as a whole,
who have taken it as their special wotc
and pleasure to elect the great common
er, James G. Blaine, to the Presiden
cy
A MAGNIFICENT MEETING.
The ope nig meeting of the earn
paign in this city under the auspices of
the Young Mens' ItepuUican club was
the ta eat est political meeting ever held
in Caa c nnty.
Plaitsmoutu in other years of nation
al campaigns has ueHn many line dem-
ons;ratiot s, but the equal of the torch
light brigade that marched down Main
street Monday night, with their accom
paniment of tran-j arencies, flags and
fireworks has never been seen in this
city, and the demontration was simply
on a magnificent sc tie that even ex
ceeded the expectations of the members
f the club, who have worked indefati
gahly for the success of this opening
Campaign meeting.
Of the three speakers, Messrs. Wil
cox, of Illinois, Thurston, of Omaha,
and Caldwell, of Liucoln, the lornior
Was unable to nttend, owing to buoi
m-Ps difficulties which detained him in
Denver. But this omission in no way
marred the success, fr Judge Thurs
ton and Mr. Caldwell occupied the time
iu the most acceptable manner, and
were listened to with tLe closest at
teution by over a thousand people who
made as large an audience as has evei
assembled in the Waterman opera
house.
The Young Mens' p-apubheau club
ae deserving of mof than passing
commendation for the miignifirent
meeting they have given the republi
cans of the county, and which will have
a most salutary effect upon the cam
paign. Every member of that club
had the success of the meeting directly
at heart, and the IIekald knows
whereof it speaks, when it says thai
no more wide awake, working club
can be found in the country, working
tor lilaine, Logan and victory.

PLATTSMOUTH,
The Chicago '1 imea in a double page
arti. le uoon the rreat C. B. & Q li. K.
in describing the cities along its route
t says the following of Plattsmouth:
PI.ATTSJIOUTH,
Neb., located where the Platte river
joins the Missouri, is the county seat
ot Caaa county, and is twenty milts
soutn of Omaha. Cass county is most
ly prairie, a small portion being valley
and bluff. A superior quality of mag
nesian limestone is found there, and ex
tensive quarries have been opened. It
has a population of 20,000. Platts
mouth has a population of 5.000. The
priuciple thoroughfare of the city is
wide and well cared for by tbe auihori
ties, aud haseUveu substantial business
blocks. These buildings are mainly
constructed of brick aud stone, sucli
materials being found in abundance iu
close proximity to the city. In addi
tion to the business blocks, there are a
large number of stores, workshops, etc.,
in other parts ot the city, while the
Burlington and Mis-ouri river railroad,
iMiloning to the Chicago, Burlington
aud Quincy system, has extensive ma
Line hps located here, occupying
iome fourteen acres cf around. The
original town site an 1 later additions
embrace fully COO acres. The railroid
shops gve employment to 400 men,
paying them tbrougri the local banks
from 22,000 to S25.000. Oae of the
main attractions at Plattsmouth is the
iteel or dge. The bridge was built in
18s0. There are two main spans 400
teet long and 60 feet above the water
level, while the entire length 13 2.900
tret. The bridge with its approaches
cost nearly $1,000,000, and is a splendid
example of engiiueiiug skill.
Plattsmouth has a bord of trade,
eood railroad connection?, two trains
each way between there and Denver,
two each way with Kansas City and the
south, threH each way with Chicago
aod the e.:st, and Are each way with
Omaha and the north.
There ar thre banks of $50,000 to
$75,000 capital, doing a eood ' business.
The disereat br&cbe of troin9 are
I
well divided lary iron works, flour
ing mills, opera Louse, hotel, broom
factory, and gri.it mills, ten btorts for
general merchandise, two elevators,
five brick yards and two daily news
papers The education of the youth is com
mitted to the hands of an efficient
corps of trained instructors, a high
school and 4 ward departments afford
ing ample accommodations for all ap
pli -ants.
Plattsmouth, although youne, boasts
of eight churches.
Land is very productive. Any land
in Cass couuty, which is level enough
to plow, away from bluffs or streams,
if first rate soil, and produces from 50
to CO bushels of corn, 10 to20 of wheat,
40 to 60 of oats or barley per acre, if
well tilled. Good land is selling in any
part ot the county from 820 (wild land)
to $0 per acre, according to improve
ments and nearness to markets.
Judge Thukstox made a most
magnificent speech. He f'tdt the enthu
sia'jiu of the hour, tiiul he moved upon
the wreck and rabble of the demo
cratic party with Ids illustrations and
stories in a way not soon to be forgot
