The fact that Hie republican party
lias Jon? usurped the title of "the
party of progression,, was never bet
ter exemplified than by th p!i i.-e
which mutters political have assumed
here in Pl.tttsuoulh during the lat
few days. The i lea that the women
are deserving of recognition in beinj
allowed to sit as members of the board
of education, has been carried auto ef
fect all over the land aud everywhere
n h is b-t-n conclusively demonstrated
e a wise move lor the sehoois. In
1 i'tsmouth the women l ave knocked
at the convention doors of both parties
and it rtm lined f r republicans to ad
minister to the mothers a cold rebuke,
while at the hands if the democracy
they were gladly welcomed. Election
is two weeks distant, but the result
cannot be other than a popular and
complete affirmation of the democratic
idea.
The city convention of the Platts
mouth democracy was railed to order
Saturday evening at Waterman's hall
by II G. Livingston, chairman of the
city committee, and the fifty-eight
delegates present immediately pro
ceeded to business by electiug Messrs.
F. II. White and J. M. Patterson as
chairman and secretary. The creden
tials disposed of, the temporary org tn
izition w as made permanent and th
convention was ready for active busi

The prisoner was taken before
Judge Chapman shortly after eleven
o'clock this morning and in response
to a query as to what he had to say in
regard to sentence being pronounced,
maintained a stolid silence. The
judge then proceeded to sentence the
man, and decreed that the sheriff dur
ing the next thirty days, should con
duct him to the penitentiary, where
he shall be imprisoned at hard labor
for a term of two years. Lindsay ap
peared unconcerned during the whole
proceeding. Sentence beiuj concluded
the prisoner 3 counsel requested the
court to fix a supersedeas bond and
grant a stay of execution, but the same
was denied. The defense accordingly
took an exception to the ruling and
gave notice that it would prosecute an
appeal to the supreme court.
Lindsay w ill be taken to the peni
tentiary during the next few days.
It is said to be very rare for the su
preme court to grant a stay of execu
tion in cases of this nature and as a
consequence the prisoner will most
likely wait the settlement of the ap
peal as an inmate of the penitentiary.

Judge Chapman was at Lincoln yes
ttrday and heard Representative John
Davies of this county make an hour's
argument against the repeal of the
county depository law. The judge de
clares that the speech was a masterly
effort and in his judgment was really
the cause of the defeat of the repeal
bill.
Objections have been withdrawn to

Cagney. The deceased was a nephew
of the late John Fitzgerald and a son
of Mrs. McEntee of Plattsmouth. A

found which gave the greater part of
his estate, valued at $20,000, to the

been made when he was deranged
mentally. It was carried to the dis

For an absolute lack of interest,
Friday evening's republican prim
aries were entitled to the most pro
digious bun ever moulded in a bake
shop. None of the usual workers
seemed to care a tinker's darn as to
who was nominated for councilmen or
what men should constitute the dele
gations to the city convention, which
occurred later in the evening at
White's opera house, and as a conse
quence a paltry ISO votes were cast in
all of the five wards of the city. The
only feature of the entire deal wa3 the
sweeping rebuke administered at the
convention to the daring assumption
that the mothers of Plattsmouth have
an interest in the welfare of the pub
lic schools.
In the First ward Geo. Longenha-
gen and C. 11. Parmele were opposed
as candidates for councilman. Thir
teen votes were cast and Mr. Longen-
hagen walked off with the nomination
by a majority of one vote.
P. D. Bates had no opposition for
the councilmauic nomination in the
Second and received every vote of the
total of eighteen cast.
In the Third, forty-nine voters were
out and Councilman J. W. Bridge was
accorded a unanimous renomination.
Chas. ilassmau, who was defeated
for councilman in the i'ourth last
spring, thirsted for another trial and
he had no opposition. Twenty-nine
votes were cast.

The Louisville Courier-Journal takes
the following shot at Sheriff Etken
bary , and which, in justice to the sher
iff, is not a just presentation and does
that oilieial an injustice:
It is true that Sheriff Eikenbary
did a neat and commendable piece of
work in the hanging of Hill, but it is
also as true that Sheriff Eikenbary is
well paid for his services assheiiff,
and if it becomes the duty of the sher
iff to hang anyone, and it is in the con
tract for him to do such odd jobs, we
don't ste that he should be allowed a
cent more than the law allows forsuch
work. This, we believe, is 530 per
hpad, and unless he can persuade Hen
well to come back from the pen and
take the medicine inai is uue uuu, c
can't see how the sheriff is to give
value received'1 for the J100 allowed
him by the commissioners. As Hill
