FRANCIS W. BROWN
FOR CONGRESS!
The Democrats Nominate Lin
coln's Popular Mayor Amid
Great Enthusiasm.
A BROAD-MINDED AND
LIBERAL BUSINESS MAN!
D.O. Dwyer, of this City, the First to Lead;
Off for His Nomination.
The congressional convention that
met in Lincoln last Thursday was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
tfatheritiK of democrats that ever as
sembled in the First district. Every
county was fully represented with the
exception of Pawnee, whose delegates
had been selected iitit for some cause
failed to get there. Cass county was
i'mly represented. All the dele
gates to . represent the county were
present except two Mayor Geringof
this county, and Lee Oldham of Mur
rayboth of whom failed to get there
on account of the train being latent
this place, which also failed to make
connection with the Lincoln train
at Omaha. Otoe was out in full force,
and then some, and was represented
by such sterling democrats as Vincent
Straub, Frank Marnell, R. II. Miller
and others. Othercounties were also
represented by the veteran democrats,
w ho would compare well with our own
delegates, such as J. M. Stone, Z. V.
Shrader, Frank Laughlin, Frank Mas
sie and Herman Pankonin.
It would seem that as the delegates
arrived at the Lindell hotel, they had
come to Lincoln for one purpose only
to nominate Francis W. Brown for
congress and as the convention was
composed of a determined body of rep
resentative democrats of the district
it was easily discerned from start to
tinish that it was Frank Brown, Lin
coln's DODular mayor. The writer has
attended a great many conventions,
but never before did we see so much
enthusiasm displayed in favor of any
ntip m:m. The Dressure brought to
bear was so great that he finally
yielded to their demands. This is
truly an incident of the "othce seeking
the man and not the man the ollice,"
the same as it was w hen lie was elect
ed mayor of the capital city only a
few months ago.
Mayor Brown is a gentleman who
bears the confidence and respect of
ail of the citizens of Lincoln, as the
great majority he received at the
municipal electio-i most surely indi
cates. Republicans and democrats
alike are his friends. Being one of
the most substantial business men in
the city, no one en joys the confidence
of these circles more than t rank
Brown.
The democrats have now placed be
fore the voters of the First district a
man in whom they feel proud, and a
gentleman who, if elected on the 18th
day of July, will reflect credit upon
the district in the halls of the nation
al congress. The Journal believes
there is not a man in the district who
is better able to represent the inter
ests of the whole people. He is hon
est, conscientious and a gentleman
who would do his duty as a represen
tative of the First district, While
there is a large majority to overcome,
we honestly and candidly believe that
when a comparison is made between
the two candidates the people will de
cide in favor of Mayor Brown.
Following is the platform adopted by
the convention, and unlike the plat
form adopted at Falls City, it is ex
plicit in every detail. It says, what it
means on tne iree pass question ana
does not confine the question to office
holders especially but it means to
abolish the free pass system in its sys
tem in its entirety. If it is wrong for
the railroads to favor one class with
passes it is certainly also wrong to fav
or all classes, and that is just what
the Lincoln platform means:
The Platform.
We. the democrats of tbe First con
gressional district of Nebraska, incon-
vention assembled, send greeting to the
Ner-raskans whose duty it will be to
select a representative incongressJuly
is. i;iii.
We reaffirm our faith in democratic
principles as enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson and defended by William J.
Bryan.
We condemn the free pass system.
We demand not only that public offi
cials be prohibited under heavy penal
ties from accepting such favors, but
that the entire free pass system be
abolished. The free pass to the public
official places him under obligation to
the corporation extending the favor.
The free pass to individuals generally
not only enlarges the burdens u pon the
general public in maintaining the cor
poration, but tends tobringthe private
citizen accepting the favor under the
political control of the corporation
granting it.
We demand the enforcement of all
anti-trust laws, and particularly the
criminal clause of the Sherman anti
trust laws. "Private monopolies are
indefensible and intolerable."
We congratulate President Roose
velt in that lie has recommended the
adoption of the democratic plan of do
ing away with railroad discrimation
and rebates, and giving to the inter
state commerce commission the power
to fix rates. The right of appeal
should not be denied but when the com
mission lias fixed the rate it should go
in force immediately and remain in
force nntil rejected by a court of com
petent jurisdiction.
We congratulate President Roose
velt upon his rejection of the tariff
baron's plea that protection should be
employed as a guise for extorting un
fair prices from the American consum
er. We commend him for hisorder that
supplies for the Panama canal will be
purchased in other markets if such a
course be neccessary to avoid the im
positions on the part of the special in
terests so long protected by the repub
lican party.
We pledge the people of the First
congressional district of Nebraska that
the nominee of this convention will
not accept favors in the form of free
transportation or otherwise at the
hands of corporations or at the hands
of any individual whose interests may
be affected by his vote: that in every
effort made toobtain the greatest good
for the greatest number of his vote
will be cast upon the side of public in
terests:that he will faithfully discharge
his duties in effort to obtain immedi
ate and effective relief in every partic
ular where the people suffer; and that
he will cordially co-operate in every
effort with whomsoever it may orig
nate and by whomsoever it may be
urged that is designed to give to the
American people relief from corporate
imposition.
TJIK CAMHDATK
Francis W. Brown, mayor
of Lin
coin and democratic candidate for
congressional honors in the First dis
trict was born in Boonville, Mo., June
10, 18.34. In his early youth his par
ents removed to Jacksonville, Hi., anu
there he was educated.
While a young man he went to Chi
cago and embarked in business. A
few years latter he went to Omaha
and in 191 he came to Lincoln. He
has been a resident of the capital city
since that time. He is president of
the F.W.Brown Lumber company, a di
rector of the Columbia National bank
and a founder of the Lincoln Sash and
Door Works. He has more than 100
men Jn his employ.
.Mr.Brown is a man of untiring en
ergy. He is clear headed and is known
for his executive ability. He has nev
er been defeated for an office. He was
elected exciseman when A. II. Weir
was made mayor of Lincoln. His work
in the reformation of Lincoln won him
a high place in the regard of the peo
ple. In 18119 he was elected exciseman
again by a decisive majority, although
the rest or the republican ticket was
elected. Last April ha reversed the
republican majority of 2,500 and scored
000 majority for mavor. He ran ahead
of his party strength 155 votes to
precinct.
A "Scrap" At Nehawka.
The scrap at the livery barn Mori
day was rather a serions affair. Mi-
Ed Pittman went down there to settle
a little dispute with Will Childers
Hot words resulted and it seems that
Pittman armed himself with a neck
yoke from one of the wagons for self
protection. Childers armed himself
with a piece of gas pipe. In the heat
of the argument Childers threw the
pipe which hit Pittman on the back
of the head. The wound is very ser
ious but Dr. Pollard hopes no serious
complications will follow. Pittman is
now confined to his bed while his as
silant has left for other parts. Ne

An Early Day Reminiscence.
William 1). MeCord was one of the
early settlers of Plattsmouth. He
came with his family from Ilurlington,
la., in KM. I made Ids acquaintance
in ls.v.1. He was then living in the
hou.se where Mrs. (Jorder now lives,
and was the sheriff of Cass county . 1
found him to be a gentleman, and was
with him a great deal. When the war
broke out in liil, and President Lin
coln called for a regiment of soldiers
from Nebraska, Mr. McCord enlKted
and was selected major He went
south with the regimenton the steamer
Westwind, to St. Joseph, Mo., and took
part in the battle of Wil.son Creek,
where (leneral Lyon was killed. He
also took part in the storming of Forts
McIIenry and Donelson, and all other
battles in which the regiment was en
gaged. When his three years of en
listment expired and the regiment was
sent home to recruit and to re-enli.st
for service on the plains, he did not re
enlist, but remained at Plattsmouth
One evening our town was thrown
into a state of excitement by the news
that Major McCord had fallen over
board from the steamer St. Mary, one
of the weekly steamers from St. Joseph
to Omaha, at St. Mary, a small town
above Plattsmouth on the Iowa side of
the river. The steamers would occas
ionally give to the citizens of the river
towns free excursions to Omaha, and
on one of these occasions Major Mc
Cord was one of the party from Platts
mouth who took advantage of the free
trip. While at the landing at St. Mary
in the evening, it seems the major had
some trouble with the mate of the
toat, a hard and ugly tempered fellow,
who in a rage kicked the major over
board into the river.
When the news was brought to
Plattsmouth some citizens took a boat
and searched for the body, but only
found his military hat, which they
brought with them to town. The
search was continued the next day and
his body was found by some fishermen,
who found him lodged in some drift
wood in the river. They brought him
to the river bank, and from there was
brought to town in a wagon.
I happened to be on the street, and
with others took a look at the body.
For this I am sorry up to this date, for
the terriblesight I saw haunts me yet.
Mr. McCord was a large and portly
man, and having laid in the river over
night and part of the day, the body
was swollen to twice its normal size,
especially his eyes. When the news of
the drowning was brought here it was
reported that he had fallen overboard
by accident, but most of us suspected
foul play, and it turned out to be a
fact.
We buried him in a coilin made of
lumber and twice the size of a com
mon coffin and we built a frame on a
lumber wagon, as no ordinary bed of a
wagon would hold the coilin. The box
was covered with the American Hag
and was taken to the Kickenberry
cemetery, south of town, where his
body lies at rest.
I hat he was murdered by the mate
oi the steamer was proven afterwards,
for he left the steamer after the af
fair and as he stated himself the stain
of Cain was on his head, he was a wan
derer with no peace or rest and by ac
cident was found in Texas dying,
when T. Palmer, a Cass county farmer,
came across him, to whom he confess
ed that he and Major McCord had
some words on the steamer and he had
kicked him over the railing into the
nver. iuajor .ncuora win ne remem
bered by the Nebraska soldiers who
are left yet and by many of our early
settlers. Coxiiad Schlatkr.
Soonibe Here.
The Fourth of July, with its pleas
ant suggestion, but terrible possibili
ties, is fast approaching. It will be a
great day for all concerned if nroDer
regulations are enforced against the
carrying of weapons and use of danger
ous explosives, but a very bad day for
a large number of people if rowdyism
is permitted to make riot with its
pistols and dynamite canes. Also.it
may be a sorry occasion for little
Johnny and his parents if care is not
exercised in the selection of his fire
works.
Will Remove to North Platte
Geo. W. Thomas, who has been in
the employ of Kunnzman & Ramge for
several years, has just closed a deal bv
which lie becomes the possessor of a
half interest in a ment, mark-pt nt
North Platte, Neb., and will leave for
that place next Sunday. Mr. Thomas
s a most excellent citizen, and while
we regret his leaving Plattsmouth. we
wish him all the success imaginable.
His family will not no for several
weeks.
MarJret Day at Glenwood.
One of toe principal attractions at
Glenwood last Saturday, was Mr. Ed
Mitchell's two-headed calf which he
had on exhibition. This calf was born
nearly three weeks ago, and promises
to survive. Hundreds have gone to
Mr. Mitchell's home to see it, and
with the exception of the additional
weight of its two heads, which makes
it a little ungainly, it is doing well,
drinking its regular ration of milk
daily. , Stuffed two-headed calves have
from time to time been on exhibition,
but a live one out does them all. In
case the animal lives Mr. Mitchell has
his fortune made.
