Xor AdvertUrr : Sr : Having- become satis
fied that the so-called People's Ticket does not meet
the wishes of the people, and finding my name uned
thereon, without my knowledge orconconl. and be
ing a Republican from principal, I prefer to abide
the action of the Republican Convention, and sup
purt lit nominees. i. OlLllEKT.
CIv'or, October 6th, 1869.
Judge Hitter has just brought to St.
Deroin the largest stock of goods ever
opened in that town.
The Grand Lodge of I. O. of O. P.,
will meet in Brownville on the 19th
day of this month.
All genuine Republican tickets have
General Grant at tho head, all others
nre bogus. Vote the correct ticket,
without a scratch or a blot.
The news from various parts of the
county, as we go to press is that the
Republican ticket will be elected by
a large majority.
Ve have all confidence in the suc
cess of the Republican ticket. The
mongrel concern has the full support
of every Democrat, and a few sore
head Republicans go with them. The
word from the country is that all is
going well ; that they have no votes
for bolters.
The blowers for Conrad Harmcs
tell the people of Brownville that he
is pledged to build a $40,000 Court
House in Brownville if elected. They
also tell tho people from the country
that Brownville Is running the Re
publican ticket. They blow both hot
and cold, as the occasion requires.
There are now no less than four In
dependent tickets in the field, in this
county, all having but one end in
view the election of a straight Demo
crat ticket. The Republican candi
dates are put on to some of these tick
ets, mixed up with bolters and
Democrats. Let every man be careful
Be not deceived at the elections.
. It has been but a few weeks since
the Democrat offered to any bolting
Republican the entire vote of the
Democrat party, of this County.
There are a few euch Republicans
coming forward, and they tender the
consideration and demand the deliv
ery. Kow it remains to bo seen
whether Calhoun, Jamison and Plas-
ters can complete the sale then made.
We learn that wonderful calamity
h&s fallen upon some of the citizens of
Douglas and Washington precincts;
Everybody is giving everybody else
"Jaw," and several are seriously af
flicted with the 'big-head." The oc
casion of all this is that a farmer in
one of these precincts killed and ped
dled out a beef terribly afliicted with
"big jaw." The citizens should not
fail to "jaw" him thoroughly, aud
make him eat the "jowl" if possi
Ue. The County Republican Convention
passed off without the least jar, and
with the utmost good reeling. In ere
has net yet been lisped one word of
complaint of unfairness, partiality,
trickery, or undue Influence. Not
one word against any of its candidates
has been said to disqualify them for
offices or places of trust and profit in
the gift of the people. Not one "word
Against their competency or honesty,
to faithfully serve the people in the
.ifv fnr which they were nominH
sled. It is a ticket of noble patriots
and pure minded men ; of men whose
honors are eacred and whoso word is
unbroken; of men who are Republi
can la principle said practice; of men
who fought for tho preservation of
their country aad for the perpetuity
cf our institutions. We. expect and
will be ogregiously deceived if they
do not poll the entiro strength cf the
party on the 12th day of the present
- - l.Lt Ji a.'jafM
The Republican Candidates.
The Republican party present a
ticket that is unexceptionable as a
whole for the sufTrago or the party. .'
S. A.' FUI.TON, 'r
Although a stranger to many of iff,
possesses the confidence of the. best
men in Richardson county, and Is, by
them, highly recommended as
scholar and a gentlemen of.uncxcep
tionablo habits and acknowledger
ability.
GKO. VANDEVKXTKK
Is known to us all as a thorougl
going aud active Republican. His
effort to exterminate bush-whackers
and to protect Union men in Nehras
ka and Missouri, has endeared him to
the lovers of his country, and by It he
forfeited his standing with the copcry
clement of our country, who never
let slip a favorable opportunity of de
faming his good name and patriotic
motives. He deserves the honor thus
confered.
DU. IT. Jj. MATHEWS
Is well known as a learned I'hysl
clan and Surgeon, a gentleman in ev
erv lineament, beintr corteous and
sy w
kind, with character above reproach
thoroughly imbued with good wil
towards every section of the county.
W. O. GLASGOW
Is a farmer, living between Brown
ville and Peru, extensively and fa
voraby known throughout the county
as a man of integrity, energy am
perseverance. He held the position
of Sheriff of Nemaha county at a time
when the oflice was worthless, and by
himself and deputies, performed the
duties with much satisfaction to the
citizens of the county. ' He now has
rented the farm, and will, if elected;
attend to the office In parson. We
know that he will make a good officer.
j. c. m'naughton
Is the reliable teller that Captain
Carson has so long employed in his
Bank in Brownville. He is method
ical, systematic, accurate, speedy and
strictly honest, understands what
should bo demanded in the office of
County Clerk. This will be his only
business, and for this, reason the office
will command his entire energies.
Mr. McNauchton.' If elected, will
make a very popular County Clerk.' .
, " 8. P. TUTTLE ;
Is favorably and extensively known
as the United States Assistant Assess
or for this division, which includes
he two southern tier of counties this
side of tho Big Blue. He held his
office under Hon. T. W. Tipton and
down to the present time, and has
the credit of being the best and most
accurate Assistant Assessor of the five
In the State. He served four years in
the Union army ; was wounded by
bullet through right breast at Shiloh,
which renders him unfit for Bevere
manual labor. He Is an honest chris
tain gentleman ; has had a thorough
training as an accountant, and is qual
ified In every respect to make one of
the most thorough and accurate
Treasurers the county has ever had.
JUDOE A. W. MORGAN
Has again been nominated for the
position he lias held with so much
credit to himself and profit to the
county for the past two years. The
Judge is a leading member of the
Baptist Church, one of our ablest,
calmest and most prudent counselors
in matters of public importance and
of wide influence in the party. He
and his immediate predecessor Judge
Fairbrother, are tho only Probate
Judges whose records are perfect and
in good condition. Soon after he
came to this county he met with a
misfortune which cripples him for
life. The lawyers, without regard to
party, commend him as impartial and
unbiased, attending faithfully to the
duties of his office. No better officer
can be found.
JONATHAN IIIQGINS
Is a farmer living in Lafayette pre
cinct. The success and ability dis
played In the management of his own
affairs, points him out as a proper per
son to manage tho business, of the
county. He will come to his position
unpledged and unbiased, and will dis
charge the duties of the office for the
best interest of the county. Our ac
quaintance with him, though limited,
is favorable; and we bespeak for him
the earnest and enthusiastic support
of every Republican in the county.
HENRY ROBERTS, -
Though nominated for the most Im
portant position, is a young man thor
oughly educated, of fixed habits, and
will perform the duties of his office
with that conscientious desire to ac
complish the greatest good possible,
which commends him to the good
will of all. . ' ;
.'Mm, wvccox. ' .
Lives at Hillsdale, where he has
been teaching school for the past year,
and in which business he Is still en
gaged to the entire satisfaction of the
intelligent people of Hillsdale. He is
a practical surveyor, having served in
that office In other counties. He -is
reliable, correct and works with una
bated energy. If elected, he will re
move to Brownville, where he will
serve tha public promptly and faith
fully when called upon.
The ticket as a whole is a good one,
a strong one a ticket nominated by
the people of the county at large, and
not by a clique of sore-heads and
copper-heads In the city of Brown
ville, without notice to others. It is
a ticket which confidently appeals to
to the be t men in the county for their
united and undivided support.
The Republicans of the whole coun
ty, in the usual mode of proceedure,
nominated the Republican Ticket,
which stands at the head of our col
umns. Five men got together secretly in
the cl; of Brownville, without any
notice to the people, and made up
what they call the People's 'Union
Ticket.
The people do not now proposo to
repudiate their own action in Conven
tion assembled by voting for a ticket
made up by to "sore-heads" and three
Democrats, without form or precedent.
Oh! Lord, Anybody.
Remember that next Tuesday is
eleccion day. Let every voter come
to the polls early. Tho Interests of
the, county demands tho casting of
, . Privately
We wish to say a few words espec
ially to the people of Brownville. We
take it for gran ted vtha no'one har
bors the idea that we are not thor
oughly devoted to every material In
terest which the most sanguine Vbct
lieves of importance to the present
and future growth of. our young' and
thriving city: When there are obsti
ties thrown in our road which tends
to prevent the occomplishnicnt of our
riurrosc. we then endeavor to do the
best be can under the new phase the
: case presents. "
Brownville corn plains at times that
her welfare is being opposed by see
tions of the county whose location
throws them within the- influence of
other points of trade. Now, our in
qulry is, has not the people of Brown
ville contributed 'somewhat to "the
fuel which blazes in this direction?
What strength lias she shown that
will elicit confidence and respect
drawing the people of the county
closer to this point? Since we became
the editor of the Advertiser, we
have done what seemed to US' right,
just and proper to ; cultivate- a more
fraternal feelins: with all sections of
our common county, and to some ex
tent we have been successful In alj
this time the people, of Brownville
have been divided presented no com
mon front. By this course they have
frittered away their strength, and lost
that .respecful consideration which
her position and her numbers entitle
her to, and would command were we
united. The result has been, and is,
that precincts one-half our numerical
force, but united on one common ob
ject, lead us in the race, and will con
tinue so to do so long as we hold di
vided council. :. ' ;
We have said this much in view of
the fact that many good Republicans
feel as though what the Democrat
charges is true that Mr. Higgins is
and will be opposed J to our interests
There Is i nothing surer than that he
will be elected ; and In view of this
fact two widely . differing policies are
being adopted by our people.' "A few
oppose -liim; and will Vote) against
him. This opposition -'here in town
against him unites the country to 'a
man, and the consequence is that our
action makes the mau our enemy.
whether he would be or not. This is
human nature. And . to this we at
tribute, much, if not nearly all, the
oposition , in the country against
Brownville.
The other course, the one we have
adopted, is to work for his election ;
to show him that we are his friend ;
that Brownville holds no ill will
toward him, but respects him as a
neighbor and a citizen ; and then trust
whatever of interest we have at stake
to his natural sense of justice and his
iberal Judgement. Our word, for it
we will secure a friend at court ; it is
human nature. He could not help
himself, even If previously disposed.
Now let the Republicans of Brown
ville throw away their petty jealous-
es, and show to the baliance of the
county that we are above such mean
nfluences, and the balance of , the
county will meet us, as honest, in-1
dependent men, half way. Let i us
first unite ourselves, and then we will
make headway in uniting the county
on any common work of importance.
A word with the wise is sufficient..
. That Pled jc. , . ,
James M. Hacker, R.V. Hughes and
S. W. McGrew, were respectfully an
nounced in the late County Republi
can convention as candidates
for Treasurer, Probate Judge, and
County Superintendent When these
names were so announced, James M.
lacker, followed by the rest, came
forward and said : "I most cheerfully
submit my claims to this convention,
and pledge my sacred honor as a roan
to a hearty support of the. ticket,
whether I am nominee for Clerk or
not." We have reliable information
that Mr. Hacker said, "previous to the
day he made this pledge, that he
would not announce his name in the
papers as a candidate, subsequent to
the action' of the convention,; as he
might have to make the race with
Plasters and B ration, as they had had
sonic talk about the matter. Now we
submit to the people of Nemaha
County if suck men can be trusted?
What warrant have you that if their
Interest shall lead them astray, that
the interests of 'the county will not
suffer. ."Their sacred honors," did I
hear you say? Well, what is that
rworth, in view of their present action ?
Who is there that would believe them
since they have shown you how easily
they can violate their 'word, most sol
emnly pledged, and bo. ''abundantly
witnessed ?,,. ', r ...,.' ".-
: "Oh! Lord, Anybody.".
The Democracy,' in their effort to
deceive and swindle the people,' are
not always successful. Knowing that
the same game cannot be played twice,
unless so arranged as to cover up it3
deformity, they appear in some new
phase at each Btage of the process.
They pull straight when they think
they need no assistance. They blub
ber over anew convert- who joins
hands with one of their number under
the cognomen of Johnson party, as at
the Philadelphia Convention. They
call themselves Con se rati ve Republi
can, when, as just now in the South,
that is the more popular course ; or,
they call themselves the people's union
party, which i their latest outlook iu
Nemaha County. It makes but little
difference to them what name they
assume the end in view is the same.
The same old copperheads run it. The
men who intended, and to the best of
their courage and ability worked for
Via distruction of the Union, are the
managers, leaders, workers, alders and
abetters in the movement in this coun
ty. Knowing their own unpopulari
ty" they Btrive to do their work, not
directly, but indirectly, through the
influence and popularity of men who
have heretofore stood well with the
loyal people of the County and State.
The fangs are readily seen under the
cover of loyalty, and none but "sore
heads," and a few of their immediate
friends, will venture into the jungle

to support the nominees of the straight

out nine jjemocrats are a mind to
vote for me, I will serve if elected;
and I will do all I dare for my success.
Plasters being present, accepted the
nomination in a very pi etty speech.
He said he was a Democrat before,
during and since the war;' was glad
to receive a nomination from such
Democrats as Jamison and Bedford,
and if elected would do what he could
to bestow patronage upon the Demo
crat, and throw what business , he
could into Thomas' hands, and pro
cure evidence to support his suits if
he was about to fail in making out a
case; and that he had been promised
few votes from some of the black
and-tan party, which run the late
war against our brethren of the South.
On motion, Small wa3 continued a
committee to see the baliance of the
nominees and procure their accept-
ance: " '. ;
On motion',, the convention adjourn

The convention was harmonious in
action,' all having the same object in

the tlcfaat of the Black .Republican
ticket, nominated by the people in
the regular mode of proceedure. " .
The genius, whdt presides over the
Ztemocrwfin his late effort to bolster
up what he terms the "peoples union
ticket" endeavors to excite the peo
ple of Brownville against what he
terms the Convention ticket. HesaysJ
the peoples union ticket is a Brownville
ticket; and the Republican ticket is
opposed to the Interests of Brownville ;
and ao he. very pompously comes to
the rescue of Brownville, in his sup
port of the mongrel ticket, gotten up
by the Democracy of Bronnville.
The Republican, ticket compreheuds
the entireinterests of this County, It is
opposed to none of the material inter
ests of the eounty,-and favors all. ',' It
is hot a. bundle of. prejudices, as the
lictnperat supposes ; and It, .will be
useless for; that paper; to excite- the
good people of Brownville against any
of Its candidates. ;" ,'.'.'
i ' -: i
i .it .
The first dirty work tb e Democrat
has for the mongrel ticket, is to array
its followers against Senator Tipton.
It will follow this upfc step by step,
until it throws Its slimy folds over the
entire concern. Men who will stand
up in a Republican Convention, and
pledge their sacred honors to support
its nominees, and who will then ,with-j
in a few hours thereafter strike hands
with the oppbsers of his country, and
join them in a crusade against the par
ty and Its' candidate's, are not very far
removed from the'enemie's.camp,.' A
few more lessons, and they will be full
fledged Democrats.' w ; . , - ;

: Mr. Calhoun, of 'the Democrat, is
urging all men to vote for James M.
Hacker for County Clerk, for the rea
son that Hacker has agreed to fur
nish i him five hundred dollars
worth of County printing If elected.
When told that Hacker would
Burely be defeated, he - exclaimed
that "if bo, it would be five hun
dred dollars out of his pocket."
So we were not far, wrong when we
called it a Democratic ticket.
Mr. Mathews, from Washington
precinct, says that James M. Hacker
told him that he (Hacker) got up and
publicly withdrew from the conven
tion after he saw how it was running.
This is not so. Who heard him say so?
not one of 4he Delegates, sorely.
Let there be no trading among the
candidates on the Republican Ticket.
Pull straight for the whole ticket.'
Every candidate should stand upon
his own merits and work for the whole
ticket or not at all.

PEOPLES' TICKET.
Yes, Peoples' Ticket sounds big, y et
Is but a small afTTii rafter all. Peoples
Tickets are usually composed of two
classes: those defeated by . the people
in receiving uominations (ironically
palled "sore-hcaJ3"). and those with
whom notoriety is of more force than
party principles, ' (metaphorically
called "dough faces." These classes
are not gcnerally'deep thinkers ; and
frequently go off, a the vulgar phrase
has it, "half-cocked;" Tor, intlljema
jorily "of instances, Jit is after "a ful
convention have acted in harmony in
the nomination of a ticket, as in 1 this
county, where not a word or an act o
unfairness can be charged, and where
the ticket commends itself to ' the
masses: of thinking voters as unex
ceptionable. It would almost seem
that such men are actuated with the
idea that as there, has been ho chican
ery and fraud in the -convention, and
this bclnar the reason of their defeat
they, to keep up their- stock In trade
their political capital "rule or ruin'
must practice their iniquities out
side;' and destroy the unity, if pos
sible, wherein.lies the strength of the
Republican party in this county, and
its power to aid the country outo
difficulties caused by its "late unhap
py rBtruggle": with-, our lamentably
mistruided "southern brethren :" to
two of ' whose sincere i sympathisers
noCtd use tlie Vulgar phrase "copper
heads,',') this Peoples' Ticket assignes
the beat offices, in the gift of. the peo
ple of Nemaha County. ;
Their wonderful forethought in this
instance is proven by their action, for
certainly it must be far more to the
liking of a free people to have assigned
them as their ticket, one i concocted by
first, .one person defeated by the Re
publican, convention ; one; who had
not friends or principles sufficient to
bring him before it ; and two who had
only courage enough to stay at home
and sympathise with .armed traitors
to their country! ' A ticket thus
formed roust certainly. be more to the
llklngof the "people' tnanonenom:
Inated., in. f ul" convention vof fairly
chosen delegates.. JTbis centralization
of the .right . to think and make ,a
ticket for the people Into the hands of
four or five men, is an Idea which will
undoubtedly commend itself to the
people;' tot by it as will be seen i
man.la'favoc C repudiation and na
tional dishonor now, and of giving
over the country to the lust of slavery
and the slave holder during the war.
Is just as good "as any other man,"
and, apparently, a little better. Yet,
herein consists not the only element
of strength of this "People's Ticket;"
for its strength ascends most affluvi
ously the nostrils of fair men, and
its benefits are as apparent to the Re
publican party as the "botts" leaving
a sick horse!
JV.ript"fjei element of strength -and
mark of eminent sagacity in thefram
era of this "People's Ticket," consists
In the placing upon it of four honor
able gentlemen, wno, in tne magna
nimity of their unselfish souls, and in
anticipation of the nomination before
ther Republican convention, (before
which they werecandldates,) pledged
their word of honor, before said con
vention to stand by the ticket nom
inated. . Now, should not such men
be. honored in the ; mead of their
worth? And, as was apparent to the
refulgent wisdom of the "four" poo
pie who framed the ticket how, In
the name of common sense (swore
they by something mithical to them
selves,) could these men stand by a
ticket unless they were on some other
ticket f -This reasoning must be plain
to allr for now both tickets are side by
side!- fAnd,. wonder of the 19th cen-
i. .1 ? i. ' : I r f ii

braskaj lo, their pledge is redeemed
their conscience easy their honor un-
ornished,' bright,' and glistening as
the white of a darkey's eye on a cloudy
night! - Shades of Cicero, observe
their wisdom ; voters of Nemaha
County, bend in honor to the profound
talent displayed!
Such a dish is seldom offered to any
people, much less to a people so unfa
vored by ; disloyalty as the people of
Nemaha County. Here we have men
who were itay-at-honiely loyal during
the war,' arid men who were stay-at-
homely disloyal; men who were
firmly loyal' while they had a loyal
relative in office, and who didn't be-
ieve It payed after that relative was
not; men whose "word of honor" is
not "worth a straw" ; men of no prin
ciplesand men of all principles for
office.' -

The County Commissioners are In
session this week with Phillip Starr,
Esq.", in the chair. There is much
important business being dispatched,
not without the gravest inspection
however. Nemaha county has three
good men to execute her will and pro
tect her interest, and were the pay
sufficient so that it would not be too
much of a sacrifice on their part, , we
would be for continuing them in their
positions.
A Democrat living near Peru, in
this county, on his road to the State
Fair last week, fell in with a friend of
ours t from Richardson county, and
very confidentially confided to him
the Democratic programme, for the
coming campaign. It was to. sympa
thise with the bolting Republicans up
to the day of election, and thereby
draw to the Peoples Ticket enough
Republicans so that a clear Democrat
ic ticket could run in between the
two. Now, such has been the policy
cf the Democrats heretofore, and this
gives credit to the story related by the
Peru Democrat, and if more is want
ing to convince , Republicans that
such is the fact, they will find it re
corded in last week's Democrat in the
first article, in which the editor boast
that he brought about a split in the
Republican party ; that he predicted
some weeks ago that it would be done,
"and we (now) leave our Republican
friends to liUt it out.
The State Fair.
The Nebraska State Fair held last
week near Nebraska City, was, in
rnkrtv rcsnects a success, although in
many particulars it was far short
what t he - farmers, ; mechanics an
raanuf cturcrs of the State ought to
have mr.de it. Few but those wishing;
to advertise what they exhibit seem to
interest themselves in making our
State Fair successful. To advertise
our 8tate Fair for the public good, by
exhibiting: what she more perfectly
grows than others, or what may grow
with proper care and training, whic
heretofore was considered a doubtfu
experiment; to meet annually to
compare what one raises, crows or
r w
makes with those of his neighbor, and
to discuss the system by which the
more perfect ones are produced
these are matters which are of but lit
tie general concern ; and as yet, are
thought; of. but by the few who are
struggling, , unappreciated by ; those
who throng our public Fairs out of
curiosity, or for the excitement they
afford. '
On Thursday the attendance was
large, and the interest was at its high
est.. We took occasion to note some
of the more prominent features o
what was to be seen and heard, for
the benefit of those who could not at
tend. - - -
There were several very good Stal
lions on the ground, among the bes
we .place the , Henry Clay Stallion
owned by Mr. Dubois, of Cass county
He is six years old, 'and from New
York State. Three of the best suck
..a
ling colts on the ground were sired by
this horse. , ,' T '-, . , - ,
"A three year bid bay Stallion of the
Eclipse Stock, dark bay, well put up
and owned by Riley Jones of Cas
county, promises well
James R. Riggs of Cass county, (is
theowner of the three year old Jack
that attracted attention for its highth
and size. It is now near fifteen bands
high and well proportioned, and is
valued at $1200, .. , n V. r ,
Mr. iUs Kim be rial n or Texas,, wasr-
ington county Kentucky, exhibited
the following thorough bred Durhams
from the ' farm:- One yea!
ling Jlull, four Bull calves,, five year
ling heifers and six heifer calvesy the
average value of which was $13o each
John Epler of Otoe and Barnes
Moore of Cass county, had each. a red
four year old-Durham bull which
looked so near alike that one could
hardly tell them apart.
David McCaigor Cass had a roan
Durham four years old, weighing 1930
pounds.
John L Reddick, ayearold Alderny
bull of a brown black color, weighing
about TOO lbs.
D. J. McCan. a two year old Dur
ham bull weighing near 1300 lbs
There were also some good milch
cows and a pair or so of working cat
tle on the ground.
There were seven pens of pigs. Up
ton and Wolf of Cass county, had 1
Berkshire boar and sow from the Ad
am Ranking farm inpiammouth, 111.
These were the only thorough bred
pigs 0n the ground.
Mr. Boyd's Poland boar, weighing
six hundred, and a pair of pigs crossed
between the. Wentworth Suffox and
Chester White, came next in order of
quality and blood.
The big feature of the Fair was the
display : of . Farming Implements.
Many of the eastern manufactories
were represented by agents and a va
riety of very well made articles for
farm '.use, prominent among which
we notice the agent from Canton, 111.,
with his Clipper plows. .,...
In this department we noticed head
ers, mowers, reapers, corn drills, horse
rakes, seed drills, fans, plows, corn
shelters, self rakes and binders, corn
cutters, threshers, hay and straw cut
ters, several varieties of harrows, bug
gies, wagons, gang plows, horse forks,
shovels, spades, horse powers, and
many articles, the purposes and uses
of which we could not divine from
their construction. '' 11 ; '
The track was a poor one, and no
one used it for any purpose connected
with the Fair.", ,. ' '''.
Thereisa building on theground
oftwo stories, about 30x50 on-the
ground: ' This was the eentral figure
of attraction to all comers upon the
Fair ground.' We pass into the West
door : passing to the right we notice
first, Maj." Peernian' Minature Gar
den and Log Cabin residence. The
grounds are beautifully arranged and
evergreens are set put In good taste,
none of which are over six inches
high. These are from-his Riverside
JJursery, at Davenport, Iowa. We pass
on by Uncle Joe's bottled Bull Snake;
the show. case of cuttlery,; the patch
jvork, bed quilt, fancy needle work,
case of dentistry, 'apple?,: pears peach
es, grapes,. Burdett'a organ, the pho
tograph gallery; to the east end of
the room turning around, we follow
through the north aisle to the west
end again, passing P. Coursey Rich
ards' stand oC tanned furs, pelts and
eather; the Singer, and Wheeler &
Wilson sewing machines, Smith or
gan, many quilts, much fancy needle
work, another photograph gallery a
fancy harness, saddle, guns and ar
ticles appertaining thereto, closing
with a Mason & Hamlin organ, which
all attract attention as articles worthy
of notice. One will also find much
else to discuss as he again returns to
00k at Teare's big seedling pear and
the big apple marked "Plattsmouth
Herald." The apple is much the lar
gest we ever e:iw, measuring sixteen
and a quarter inches around, and
weighings 23 ounces, and grown 'in
Cass county by Perry Walker, and Is
called , Sweet" Paradise. There are
many kinds of apples, pearsfpeaches
and grapes, and they all look well,
and as we know, many of them taste
most delicious.
We next pass upstairs to look at
the vegetables. The room i3 scantily
supplied withT most excellent speci
mens from the garden, the field and
the dairy. If the articles are few, it
can be said of them, that they are
hard to beat. Variety of kinds were
wanting. There were but three or
four kinds of potatoes, but those on
exhibition were most excellent.
Having satisfied ourselves here, we
passed down and out onto the
ground, when we were soon con
vinced that the attendeuce was large;
men women and children cramed the
hall and scattered out on the grounds
in large numbers, and we heard more
tlian once the forceable exclamations:
"I could beat ' thafc.". "Look here
mother, don't" ycu wish -we had
brought oars ?" . "This don't begin to
be as large ours." We were reminded
that "ours'' never makes a good Fair
if left at homeWe would rather see
a poor article on the spot than
to know that eversomany ouracs were
at home out of reach and out of sight.
It now is the hour for the address,
and the Hon. Geo. W. Frost of Oma
ha delivers it. "We listen, and a host
of others do likewise. It was long and
replete, with many a good suggestion.
Mr. Frost is a practical man, and has
a good idea of the capacities of the
west, and we fear that all know better
than they do. The Fair closes on Fri
day.
The next State Fair is to be held at
Brownville, and Horace Greely has
been elected the orator of the day, and
J. S. Morton his alternate.
The following officers were elected
for the next year :
; Robt. W. Furnas, of Nemaha coun
ty, President; Alvin Saundera,' of
Douglas county, 1st Vice President;
J. Sterling Morton, of Otoe county, 2d
Vice President; L. A. .'Walker,' of

I make not the above recommend In
opposition to our honorable State
School Superintendent ; but knowing
no books published are superior to the
above f or the use of - our 'common
schools, and as they are already used
n two-thirds of tlie same, I do not
think it would be wise, judicious, or
practicable to change to a book we
have not, and. to one which is no bet
