Republican Connty Ticket.
For State Senator,

Maj. Rum m ell, a lawyer and farm
er of Johnson county, Mo., was re
cently assassinated.
The city council of Cleveland,
Ohio, recently repealed the ordinance
closing saloons on Sunday.
Mrs. Su8D8 S. Robidoux, widow of
Miohffll Robidoux, who was the foun
der of St. Joseph, Mo., died in that
city on the 27th ult., at the age of 74,
having been born in the year 1800.
Gov. Osborne, of Kansas, has call
ed a special session of the legislature
for the loth of September, to devise
means for the relief of settlers whose
cropB have been destroyed by grasshoppers.
The secretary of the national immi
gration board estimates that for the
present year the immigration will be
about 135,000, so that the comparison
stands as follows: For 1S73, 208.818;
for 1874, 135,000 ; decrease. 133,818.
We are credibly informed that not
withstanding the abuse heaped upon
'Squire Kennedy by Church Howe at
every opportunity, that old gentle
man will permit himself to be whip
ped in and will support Church for
the Legislature. We doubt this,
knowing the Squire's combative pro
pensities as well as we do. We no
ticed that he was not in a hurry to
jump up and move to make his nom
ination unanimous.
The convention last Saturday, to
the evident chagrin of Independents,
was entirely harmonious. While
there was a small conflict on one or
two matters between Bill Daily and
Tom Majors, it was not at all bitter or
personal and each party manifested a
disposition to acquiesce in the will of
the majority and to work for the final
success of the Republican party. We
are pleased" to say that we never at
tended a convention in which a bet
ter feeling prevailed, where there was
less strife or a greater unanimity of
action. The determination with all,
we hope and believe, is to work with
united effort, and by so doing give
the ticket a rousing majority -on the
13th of October.
It was interesting, very, to us the
other day at the Grand Prairie Con
vention, to see how some of our Re
publican friends managed, who had
always been opposed to Howe and
Hewett. We found them apparently
very anxious for the nomination of
these gentlemen, for the private reas
on that they would be more easily de
feated by the regular ticket than any
persons that could be selected, and we
think they were right. We know
that there was an element at work
in, and about, that convention with
that very object in view ; and while
Howe, Hewett and their friends think
that Howe and Hewett, and Hayden
too, for that matter, were very popu
lar, the real truth is those nominees
had not true friends enough there to
nominate anything, and that the re
sult is attributable to their enemies.
So far as the general opinion goe3 the
best men of the Independents were
badly Bold out on every hand.
COMPARISON INVITED.
We invite wo challenge a com
parison of tickets. It has been the
boast of the "Laborers and Farmers"
that a "sign would follow them" as
evidence of their purity of intentions
to reform politics and rebuke office
seeking and corruption , and that
sign should be that the "office would
seek the man." And the very idea
of an old standing-candidate ingratia
ting himself into their favor they
treated with cou tempt, and was made
the occasion of elevating their honest
noses in apparent keen scent after cor
rnption. They were not going to
have any old played-out politicians in
theirs, for theirs was the party that
was destined to regenerate ahd re?tore
the body politic to something like
pristine purity.
Now, what did they do the other
day at Grand Prairie? What did they
do to make good these professions
which once seemed to promise well
for then) ? Who did they nominate?
In a lump they are O. B. Hewett,
Church Howe, C. S. Hayden, Jona
than Higgins and a Mr. Stokes.
What are the political records of
these men? Does not every man in
this county know that Hewett Is a
chronic office-hunter; that lie was
once a Democrat and left that party
because the Republicans of thiscoun
ty were largely in the majority : that
while in that party he was forever up
for offices which the party would not
trust him with; that having played
clear out in that party he Greeley ized
and turned Liberal, hoping that was
the tide which was to carry him into
coveted office; and that party being a
bad failure, he left it and went to the
Farmers' and Laborers' pai'ty ; and
behold, enough of his friends get par
tial control in that party to trade aud
dicker him into a nomination.
Church Howe what of him? Ev
ery man in this county and every
other county that knows Church
Howe knows that he is a profession
al politicau; that he is ever willing
and ready to unite with any party,
and affilliate with any clique, that
will promote his chances to get into
office. His sole object in uniting with
the new party in this county was to
get its votes, well knowing there was
no earthly chance with any other
party. Who does not know or believe
this all to be just as we say with re
gard to Hewett and Howe. It is too
well known to be refuted.
Hayden another standing candi
date. We presume that he was nom
inated from the very reason that he.
ever since he has been in the county,
has been a candidate for county sur
veyor. We do not think there is any
better reason why he should be elect
ed to the Legislature.
Next, Jonathan Higgins a long
winded candidate for county commis
sioner. He was always seeking that
office while he mustered with the Re
publicans. Stokes, last. We have heard some
thing about him. and if what we have
heard is true, his record as a Union
man during the war is not good.
When we find out the truth about
Stokes we will inform our readers of
the result. Stokes is the only Inde
pendent candidate if he is that is
not and has not been an inveterate
office-seeker; and we would simply,
RE PUBLICAN
COUNTY
TION.
CONVBN-
The Independents will argue that
all the candidates nominated by the
Republican convention last Saturday
are along the river, and that the west
part of the county was ignored, &e.
While this may apparently be so', the
truth is It was not designedly so : but
could not well be otherwise as there
was not a single candidate proposed
for Representative from either the
west, northwest or uortheast parts of
the county, and only two names were
proposed from the third, or western
district for commissioner.
For Senator, Mr. Fisher was the
only man brought out, and conse
quently he received the unanimous
vote of the delegates. Mr. Bally of
this city, was also nominated by a
unanimous vote, he having no oppo
sition ; and then the only two other
candidates named for Representa
tive were Moodey and Burdick, both
oi me town of Peru.
Just how the result could have been
oifTerent we are unable to see; and
any locality that growls because they
have no representation, when they
refused or neglected to ask for any
thing, certainly do so with very poor
grace. We heard the delegates of this
city, and other places, repeatedly ask
if there would not be some candidates
proposed from the farmers of the west
and they declared they would have
given them a candidate for Represen
tative had a good man of the party
been presented ; and so far as the peo
ple of Brownville are concerned we
are confident it was their intention to
do so. The delegates from the difler.
ont precincts of the county were rep
resentative men, and it is reasonable
to suppose that they represented thp
will and wishes o the Republicans
of the several precincts who sent them
to the convention, and we are satis
fied that the ticket they nominated
was putiu nomination for thepurpose
of uniting-the Republican vote of the
county, and of securing the votes of
all others who believe in good men in
office, and who want to see enterprise,
progress' and improvement within our
oounty. If the Independents do not
like our ticket, they may console
themselves by the reflection that it
was not made with any special effort
for I heir pleasure.
but earnestly, ask the voters of this
county how the election of such a
batch of candidates cati reform any
thing? Would the election of Hew
ett, Howe and Hayden tend to the
abatement of corruption ? O, give us
a rest!
But how about the gentlemen on
the Republican ticket ? Let it suffice
for the present to say, that not one of
them sought the office for which he
was nominated, but were selected by
the people of their precincts or locali
ties, and were put before the conven
tion by them. And further, not one
of the Republican candidates ever
Rnnirh(.nr run fn - ' L.r..-
cept Mr. Fisher, who we believe was
once spoken of by his friends In con
nection with county commissioner.
They are all true Republicans, and
always have been ; and are not guilty
of whipping around after every fac
tion that springs up to-day and goes
down to-morrow. They are subtan
tial men of unwaveiing principle and
firmness, who can be trusted in any
emergency to do battle for the right.
Now we ask the people, the Farm
ess and Laborers especially, or that
portion of them who truly and hon
estly desire reformation in politics, if
the Republican ticket to-day in this
county is not head and shoulders
above the other in that respect? I
not the Republican ticket the true
ticket of reform? whilst the would-be
reformers have picked up as their
candidates a set of shistering dema
gogues and doughfaces.

The Seward Reporter, in comment
ing upon Gov. Furnas's efforts to as
certain the extent of injury tocrops
by drouth and grasshoppers, and the
wants of the people, if any, by reason
thereof, snappishly says ;
"Gov. Furnas addresed every coun
ty clerk in the State to ascertain if
any aid was neeceBsry for destitute
settlers, and every response has been
so far that none was needed. We
think this time could havei been bet
ter emploj'ed by bridging' his influ
ence to bear upon the C. B. & Q,. R
R. Co. to recduce the rates on wheat,
so that farmers will not be be robbed
entirely, of what grain they did suc
ceed in harvesting. A reduction of
5 cents would not be felt by this com
pany and it would afford a great relief
to suffering farmers to realize that tri
fle more for their grain at the present
low prices."
We beg to inform the Reporter that
the "C, B. & Q. R. R. Co.," not be
ing of this State, is not subject to
Nebraska official influence. The
facts are, that road passes
through two States that have recent;
ly undertaken to regulate railroad
matters b3' too much leuislation. and
one of the results is the "suffering
farmers" are feeling the bad effects.
The legislation in Iowa and Illinios
is death to Nebraska farmers, owing
to what is called a pro-rata tariff for
freights through thoe States. A little
more rational and sensible insight in
to these matters will be of incalcula
ble benefit to all directly Intere-ted.

Editor Advertiser :
The amible editor of the Granger
comes at me every week with from
one to two columns of stuff, or, in the
words of a citizen of Brownvi.Ie, "the
outside of the Granger is printed in
Chicago, and the inside is full of Po-
lark." leaving no room for local news.
The amiable gentleman) intimates
that he knows something about my
conduct as postmaster that will if he
should tell it cause me to be ruined.
I beg of him not to let his magnani
mity restrain him for one moment.
I want him, if he knows of any crime
that I have committed, to tell it right
out. I ask no forbearance from him.
There is a circumstance related in
the Testament, where some JewH
brought a woman before our Saviour,
and accused her of a certain sin, say
ing: "Now Moses in the law com
manded us, that such should be ston
od, but what sayest thou?" Jesus
answered: "He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone
at her."
When I reflect on the puro, holy;
and sfnles3, yet'slernly just character,
of the editor of the Granger, I rejoice
to think that he was not in Jerusalem
at that time, for being perfectly with
out sin, and having a holy horror of
the sin with which the woman wa3
charged he would have gathered the
largest stone he could have used, aud
hurled it with Iler.-ulean force at her,
and I shudder, when I think of the
terrible effect of his holy wrath.

HANGED.
At Shasta, Cal., Aug. 26, John E.
Baker, aged twenty-sis, and Charles
Crouch, aged eighteen, were hanged,
the former for the murder of George
Kline, mail rider, in December last.
The latter for the murder of Mrs.
Radler in January. On the scaffold
Crouch said he had no statement to
make. Baker said he had repented
of all his sins and hoped for forgive
ness, Fach exhibited great firmness,
and neither made any confessions.
MOULTON AND BEECHER.
Frank Moulton printed a card in a
New York paper on the 29th ult.,
stating that he notified the Beecher
committee that he was ready to be
cross-examined at any time, but the
committee took no notice of his offer.
consequently he went to Plymouth
church one night, having o right
there being a member of the congre
gation and his wife beluga member
of the church. After hearing the
misrepresentations in the report, he
sent a note to the moderator request
ing to be heard, but was not permit
ted. Moulton says he has in his pos
session a letter from Beecher Rtatin
that Raymond, who made the attack
on him (Moulton) recently, knows
nothing about the case, although
Raymond himself publicly slated last
night that he knew all about it. Moul
ton says lie will have u letter printed,
and concludes case as follows:
"I have sought for four 3ears, for
the sake of the innocent children of
two families, to shield Beecher from
the exposure of his crime of adultery,
but Mr Beecher, his committee, and
his church, have united to compel me,
for my own self protection, to reveal
him to the world, as I shall shortly
do it. in a still worse I ght than that
in w hich he now stands."

SUICIDE.
Aman named John Stewart, aged
about sixty, a resident of Painesville,
Ohio, committed suicide at that place
recently by cutting his throat with a
pocket knife. Motive unknown.
FATAL HOOTING.
Ex-Chief of Police Milligan. of
Wilkesban'e, Pa., In a saloon in Pitts-
ton, was fatally shot by Michael Far
rel, a seaman, who, with another, as
saulted him because of the action of

BOY MURDER.
Two boys about fifteen years old,
near Kansas City, recently got into a
quarrel when Willie Ray took a shot
gun and dischaiged the entire con
tents at Henry Screider, almost in

rendered a verdict accordingly.
INDIAN DEVELTRIES.
The San Antonio Ncwa says the
Kiowas and Camanches attacked Gen.
eral Davidson at 12 o'clock on 'the 23.
and endeavored to obtain possession
of the agency building at the Wichi
ta agency, forty miles from Fort Sill.
The Indians were defeated the first
day and renewed the attack the fol
lowing morniug, but were again re
pulsed. The attacking Indians are
those who have been raiding and are
now trying to return to the agency.
Gen. McKenzie's expedition left Fort
Concha on the 23d inst.
On the 24th of August the wagon
manufactory of Studebaker Brothers,

is the second time the shops of the
great wagon makers have been burn
ed. The first was in June. 1872, loss
$75,000. Upwards of 200 finished wag

MORE INDIAN NEWS.
A special from Indian Territory
dated Wichita Agency, August 28.
saj's the action between hostile Kio
was and Naconees and four compan
ies of the, 10th U. S. cavalry, which
opened in the unauthorized squatter
camp of the latter tribe Saturday, the
22d inst., continued in a series of at
tacks on General Davidson's line un
til daylight last Friday. The main
object was to wipe out the buildings
and settlement of the agency, which
would have resulted in great destruc
tion of government property. The
prairie grass was fired at different
points, but the active efforts of officers
and men defeated the attempts of the
Indians and prevented a conflagra
tion. Frequent sorties were made by
the Indians, in numbers ranging
from 50 to o()0. along the lines, but
they were repulsed and driven back
in disorder. One charge made by a
company under comma id of Captain
Carpenter prevented an important po

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
I notice that all the leading cities in
Neraana County, except Aspinwall,
have their correspondents for the AD
VERTISER and we are glad to read
from Week to week the news which
these faithful chroniclers of passing
events pen for us, but we often won
der why Aspinwall is not favored
with a notice each week by a regular
correspondent. Living in town we
hear a great deal of news which if
properly abridged might be readable.
Whatever elements of greatness or of
cheap notoriety Aspinwall may lack
certainly gossip is uot one of them.
We may well be proud of the
amount of business'dohe here. Four
stores are in successful operation;
each (considering the dull times) has
a fair amount of trade. It is gener
ally conceded that Aspinwall has nat
ural advantages calculated to make it
a village of some importance. The
one thing needful is a railroad, and
that, of course, we expect to have be
fore "snow flies if not sooner." The
voters of this vicinity will under
stand their true interests too well to
vote for any man for County Com
missioner or any other office who is
an anti railroad man. Another issue
seems to be prominent before the peo
ple at the present time. I refer to
prohibition. We have in Aspinwall
a lodge of the I. O. of G. T. in good
working order. The opponents of
temperance have in all the village
elections carried the daj Last spring
at the school meeting they voted to
charge the Good Templars two dollars
and fifty cents an evening for the use
of the school house. But the Good
Templars many of whom are tax pay
ers and had helped build the school
house, did not propose to pay such an
unreasonable amount for the privil
ege which they claimed was their
due, consequently they have not met
in the school house since, but have
kept up their meetings at various pla
ces in the village. And a proposition
to have the Aspinwall Lodge meet in
neighboring school houses is being
entertained. In the mean time we
expect a hall will he built that will be
under the control of the friends cf
temperance and morality.
Aud now, Mr. Editor, as I have
com men cad on tempe'rance, I will
have to omit the n-ws which I in
tended to write and devote the re
mainder of this letter to that subject,
or else make it unreasonably long. In
the last is-ue of the Advertiser we
noticed a short editorial on temper
ance which does not accord with the
views of temperance wookers. It is
asserted that the temperance cause
goes by spasms and impulses. This
we do not deny, but we assert that
the same is trufe of all reforms. That
much gomi is not done in these times
of excitement we deny. A- every
storm leaves the atmosphere in 4l ,tir.
cr condition, o every battle for the
right purifie- the moral atmosphere,
and shows the vantage ground occu
pied by those who contend for immu
table truth.
We do not believe in organizing a
temperance party to run men for of
fice with the surety that they will he
defeated, but we do believe that pro
hibition is one of the leading political
issues of the day, and that temper
ance men can no longer consistently
vote to place in positions of honor or
emolument men who favor the liquor
traffic. The common assertion that
prohibition has been unsuccessful
where given a fair trial, and that it is
impracticable we contend is false.
We have not time to argue the ques
tion in this letter, but we refer for
proof of our assertion to the hfetnry
of the temperance movemont There
are many goo i reasons why everv

ing as it did for some days on a panic,
with the prospect, in such a case, of
us extension tlirougnout the Atlantic
wheat growing States, if not to the
Pacific, after it had already began in
Liverpool, in consequence of reshlp
ments of old stock from France, to
gether with free offeiings of new crop
to arrive, throwing holders into de
moralization that culminated in their
utter rout aud a panic. Had the
stock been large here the same result
would, without doubt, have followed ;
but a decline of 2c to 4o per day was
the consequence, until at the close it
appears more steady again, and ap
parenti values are beginning to set
tle upon what some regard as a per
manent basis, while others regard the
steadiness as onty temporary, and
name one dollar as the price to which
good spring wheat will go before bot
tom is reaciiea.
In this downward movement the
Western markets have generally fol
lowed, the break commencing in Liv
erpool and extending westward to
California, where for the present it
does not seem to have had much ef
fect, from the fact that the farmers
were holding for a better market be
fore the unfavorable turn in values.
"This rildvement to a lower basis of
prices Is now extending also eastward
over Europe, where the tendency Is
decidedly downward, and must with
out a sudden increase of demand, ex
tend to the markets of the world, and
the prospect is that the new crop will
be taken hold of upon a very low ba-
sis. to tins eno mere seems to ne at
least a willingness, if not an effort, on
the part of dealers, in order to place
the season's markets upon a gradually
ascending scale, so that their transac
tions may afford a steady margin of
advance and shipments be safe in
transit.
With this disposition on the part of
the trade, throughout the world, the
likelihood is that the thing will be
overdone ou the "bear" side of the
market, for it will be noticed from
the full and specific reports that we
have lately published, giving the
yield of the different grain growing
sections of Europe, that there is no
more than an average crop of wheat
at the best, while it may fall a little
short as it does in Great Britain. An
other important fact is the complete
exhaustion of the old crop, which is
so unusual as to be certain to exert an
important influence Unon the new
crop, while outside of wheat the ce
real crops f Europe are decidedly de
ficient, and food for animals must
draw consumption from all these
grains in an extraordinary degree.
and throw it in full force upon wheat.
It seems, therefore, altogether likely
that all the adverse influences have
already been discounted, and that so
soon as the demoralization into which
the trade has been thrown for the
greater part of the time for the last
tlm e mnn hs shall be recovered from,
that a better demand will give more
strength to the market, and that the
new crop will commence to move up
on nearly the present basis of values,
and a steady, healthy trade follow.

In 1872 the Rev. Thos. K. Beecher
in answer to a letter from his sister,
Isabella Hooker who had adopted the
Wood hull doctrine, wrote the follow
ing letter which shows what II. V.
B's brother and sister.thought of his
drift toward free-loveism :
Dfi ak Belize: To allow the devil
himself la be crushed for speaking
truth is unspeakably cowardly cow
ardly and contemptible. I respect
as at present advised, Mrs. Woodhull,
while I abhor her philosophy. She
only carries out Henry's philosphy.
against wiucli 1 recorded my protest
20 yeard ago and parted lovingly aud
achingly from him, saying, "We can
not work together." He has drifted,
and I have hardened like crystal, till
I am sharp-cornered and exacting I
cannot help him, except by prayer
through Edward. In my judgment
Henry is following hi slippery doc
trine, expendiency, and his cry for
progress aud nobleness of human na
ture has sacrificed the clear, exact
ideal integrity "Hands off." until
he is down, and then 1113-pulpit, my
home, my church, and my purse, anil
heart, are at his service. Of the two,
Woodhull is my hero and Henry my
coward, as at present advise, but I
protest against the whole batch and
all of its belongings. I was not anti
slayery; I am not anti-family; but
as I wrote, years ago, whenever I as
saulted slavery because of its abomi
nations I shall assail church af5.f
family and all other institutions
whoe selfish usage you cannot help.
Heniy.you must be true to Woodhull

glad of it. When the storm line in
