Lincoln. June 26. 1884.
The novel announcement is made
that Hon. Geo. W. E. Dorsey has rele
gated the republicans of Dodge county
to tbe reary of the procession and ac
cept a delegation of bolters to present
his claims for congress in that district.
At least, we notice special dispatches
to the Omaha press announce this to
be the case. Gen'l Dorsey is evidentlv
in for harmony and the persimmons at
the same time. How the "reglers'' up
in DoJge county may feel about thif,
we are not informed.
TnE Evening Telegraph (Buffalo)
which first published the IIalpm-C!eve-
lacd scandal, now publishes Mrs. Ilal-
piu's statement which is wired the
country. The widow's statement re
iterates all the ugly features of that af
fair and makes Governor Cleveland
out to be a very bad, cruel, heartless
libertine. Mrs. Halpin's statement
paint? upon the sky the old truism,
that "Hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned."
The Cass county republican conven
tion will be held todav in Louisville.
and from all sources intelligence comes
to the Herald that the primaries
throughout the county were well at
tended. In one or two localities we "nave met
good, life long republicans who are
very much displeased over the manner
in which ce-tain gentlemen aspiring
for office in the county, secured dele
gation in those localities, and in these
cases, with few exceptions, we found
those good republicans did not attend
the primaries "too busv" or "we
knew it would be set up'against us"
was the excuse offered by these gentle
men. This is the 'old, old story." It is
the duty of every citizen to attend
these first meetings of the people, from
wb'ch springs our home rule. It is at
these caucuses our representatives are
made. The man who absents himself,
has practically no voice in the selection
of men to represent himself aud h:s
neighbors, ami if he caunot support the
selection made by the political party
to w hich he belongs, finds himself rel
egated to the "llopkiii's choice" of
swallowing hid crow, or voting 'for
some man namedby the political or
ganization to which he is opposed,
which is always a vry unsatisfactory
wy of righting the wroDg correcting
the mistake made at the primary,
which ho should have attended. In ad
dition to this, by absenting himself
from the caucus he becomes powerless
to correct a wrong perpetrated there.
by appeal to the delegate convention
which ratifies or rejects the recom
mendations of tb primary convention,
while if he attends that first meeting
there is always a way to save his po
litical rights and have them passed up
on by the nominating convention.
Every man fehould attend the prima
ries of some political party nearest in
accord with his views of corrept rule,
and do his duty as a citizen, then if he
flnds bad men are determined to farce
unfit representatives upon the peonle,
he hag just and intelligent grounds to
oppose such unfit men at the polls, and
can always have the sympathy of hon
est men in the party to which he be-
lonss.
SO WITH THE WORLD
I saw a young babe in its cradle. It
smiled in its 6lecp, and th mother
knelt and kissed its soft cheek and
prayed God that her baby boy might
live to a good old age. It opened its
eyes and smiled, and the children whis
pered to each other: "Seel.The angels
have been talking to him, and he is
glad!"
I saw a young man, he looked long
ingly up the path leading to famo and
glo; y.
There ,'.s a pr.atd Hush in the f-.th-
J'S fyj he saw the boy come ami go
sui'l the. ii other lui-ked alter him with
swill. ug heart and wMspered a prayor
to lU-iiVu ro ko p l.ei boy's footsteps
fro;n wicked pulfi.-.
I S'lW it voiiuir uiaii as )tn c:i...i
over the ihrbshhoM.and met the grim
world with a smile ot self reliance.
Toe father was now wrinkled and
gray, but there was a fonder flash in
h's eye as he listened to the applame
of the multitude. The mother was aged
and feeble, and tears came to her eves
as she murmured : "He is moviue- the
nearts of thousands by his eloquence.
... - "
but l pray thee, O Heaven, to keep him
pure of heart and free from sin !" Tha
children who had whispered before
were no longer children. They had
also grown to man's estate. Some
joined in the applause some felt mal
ice and er?y commanding them to si
lence. I saw a strong man in his Drime.
He had fame and wealth, a lovia"
wife, happy children, a beautiful home
Men bowed before him. Men flat
tered him. His voice echoed ovpr t.h
aud and stirred the pulses in city and
hamlet.
The father and mother were dead, and
their last prayers had been for him.
He stood alone, but he had the support
of a nation and the homage of a world.
So it seemed to him, but down in their
hearts, men feared, envied and hated
him.
I saw an old man as a winter's niht
settled gloomily down over the deso
late laud.
He was old and weak and hungry
and poor, lie was thinly cladi and
shivered in the raw air. He stood at
the corner, his trembling hand held out
in mute appeal to the passersby, but
no one gave him alms. Some hai their
visions blinded by the falling flakes
others mocked at and cursed him. For
a long hour he hungered and shivered
and asked only for what would buy a
crust of bread, and then he bowed his
head stili lower and dragged himself
further away iuto the bitter darkness.
And niea called after him in heartless
tones: "The county house i3 the place
for be?gars."
I saw a stiiT. frozen corpse at the
mrus.
It was of an -old man. There was
snow and frost in his gray locks the
thin fingers were clinched; the tears
had frozen as they welled up to tbe
poor old eyes, They had fouud him
dead on the street dead and frozen.
A shadow stood beside the marble
slab it bent over the dead and kissed
the cold cheek it sobbed and grieved
as only a mother grieves, and we seemed
to hear the words :
" This was the babe in its cradle : the
youth panting for renown the young
man winning his first crown the 6trong
man at hose feet the nation bowed
like slaves; this was my son!"
And men handled the poor old bodv
as if it were a faot ami they mocking
ly carried it to oath oher :
"A pine coffin; a grave in potter'
field and to-morrow we forget that he
ever lived 1" M. Quad.
