of from 20 to 30 per cent. Most of the

prospect for a good crop is better than
it was a week ago. All the reports

ELIZA PIXKSTON.
Pure Cusscdnoss of Democrats.
The following letter written to a
member of the Potter Committee by
the postmaster in tho neighborhood
where Eliza Pinkston lives, shows to
what depth the Democrats resort to
make a plausible point before the
country against the Republicans:
I have had a long interview with
Eliza Pinkston, now Eliza Pritchard,
and her husband, in relation to the af
fidavit recently published in the New
York Herald. On June the 22d Mr.
W. S. Mosely, on whose place they
lived, requested them to come to Can
ton. On reaching town they were
taken to the office of Mr. Hoffman,
where they met a Justice of the Peace
Garrett, and Hon. Mr. Zachary, of
New Orleans. Mr. Zachary talked
with Eliza, and told her she was the
person who put Hayes in the White
House, and that the Radical party
should have paid her well. He said
the Democrats controlled the country
now, that the bread and meat she ate
dally, and tho land she was working
belonged to Democrats, but they were
her friends if she used them right.
He asked her a great many questions
about the killing of her husband and
the wounding of herself. She told
him that the Democrats killed her
husband, and that her testimony be
fore the Senate Committee in New
Orleans was the truth. He also asked
her if she was not told to act as if she
was suffering and weak from her
wounds when going before the Com
mittee. She answered "No." Zach
ary also asked her whether 6he had
talked with yourself and Hon. Stan
ly Matthews before giving her testi
mony She said she saw many great
men from the North, but didn't re
member the names of any of them.
Zachary also told her if she would go
to New Orleans and testify for the
Democrats they would give her $200
and see that the did notsuffer for any
thing while she lived. After Zachary
had finished talking to her, ho told
Eliza that ho had written down what
she had told him, and wished her to
sign it, which she did. Then the
Justice told her to hold up her hand
and swear that the statement she had
made was the truth, and Bhe 6aid yes.
I read the affidavits as published in
the Herald to Eliza, and she says she
never made any such statement to Mr.
Zachary. She does not remember
having seen or talked with yourself
or Stanley Matthews and that she did
not say she was promised $5,000 or any
sum of money for her testimony. Her
husband agreed with .Eliza's state
ment as to the interview with Zach
ary. They came to see me, auu asuea
ra v advice about going to jn ew uneans
as Mr. Mosely told them he intended
to take them down there in a lew days
but that they wished to avoid going
with him. Eliza says if she is taken
to New Orleans she will swear that
her former8tatementis the truth, and
that Zaohary has attempted to bribe
her to tell a different story. I have
written Hon. S. B. Reed, at New Or
leans, the substance of my Interview
with Eliza, and I presume he will
havo her summoned before tho Com
mittee if he deems It proper to do so.

The Globe Journal views with sat
isfaction the growing strength of Hon,
Wm. Daily, as a candidate ior Buv-

man eminently fitted, in every way,
to honorably and satisfactorily dis
charge the duties of the first office in
the Stato. Of fine executive ability'.
sound and discriminating judgment,
affable and courteous bearing and
most attractive social qualities,- with
the best Interest of tho State and the
welfare and prosperity of her people

honor the high office of governor and

many friends and admirers. Among
the many worthy and deserving gen

honorable position none seem better
able or more thoroughly fitted to serve
the best Interests of all classes of our

Falls City Journal.
We have been for the past fourteen
years, personally acquainted with Mr.
Dally, and have known him all that
time in the various business relations
of life, to be ever an honorable and
trustworthy gentleman. We have
not exchanged a word with Mr. Dai
ly, orally or written, since his an
nouncement as a candidate for Gov
ernor, but being a warm friend of his,
for so many years, and know his
worth as wo do, we cordially Indorse
every word of the above from the
Journal, and would be pleased to sec
a like indorsement all over the State
for one of Nebraska's oldest and best
oitizens.
There will be a desperate struggle
between the two main factions of the
party in the convention, which is lia
ble to result in a rupture, and send
the party Into the oampaign in a crip
pled oondition. Should this be the
case, and should the much talked of
fusion between the greenback and
democratic elements be effected as it
unrimihfftrilv will the renubiican ma
jority will be reduced to a cipher in
the next electlou. Fremont Jicraia,
The Heraldlsn leading Democratic
paper of theState and doubtlesB knows
what attempt is being made for a "fu
sion between the greenback and dem
ocratic elements." As the democrats
are in the minority In the State, and
are ever ready to grasp at any straws
that may give them an Increase of
strength and perchance a victory, or a
partial victory, that element would
doubtless fuse with the greenbaokers,
or with Sitting Bull even. But there
is another element the good staunch
old Renubiican element hundreds
of whom believe in greenbacks that
will not be humbugged by their old
. ITT
enemy. Warren ana sucu as wurreu
may make arrangements for fusion,
but they will fail to call out a respect
able vote of tho real greenback ele
ment of the Stato.
The Seward Reporter is of the opin
ion that the greenback party of Ne
braska is led by "old party hacks and
political fossils:" Such are tha self
constituted would be leaders, but the
masses of the greenbackers among the
people who are notespeoialjy seeking
offices and leaderships, havo no lead
ers other than in the old parties to
which they belong. Dotaohed from
communism and other tomfoolery em
braced in the platforms of the green-
backers, two-thirds of tho people are
doubtless favorable to greenbacks or
or somesuoh national paper currency,
when interchangeable at par with the
metallio currency. This is the condi
tion of the paper currency to-day, as
good a condition as is possible, there
fore tho people the sensible green
back people cannot appreciate all the
noise that is being made about green
backs, and will not abandon their
old parties to follow after an ignisfaiu
us idea, led by party hacks, fossils
and adventurers. We believe within
the line3 of tho Republican party,
whose chief cornerstone is Progress,
lies tho remedy for all political evilB
and errors.
"The clique which elected him

So speaks the Central City Courier
of the Republicans who gave Frank
Welch their votes and elected him by
a large majority. These fellows who
are figting the Republican party seem
concerned to an immodest degree
about what the Republican party
ought to do. Gentleman, attend to
your own business, and trot out your
man to oppose Frank Welch, and it
will take all your valuable (!) time to
find one that he will not distance by
the votes of the "basest ingrates in
the State."

The Western Rural.
The Western Rural comes to our ta
ble from week to week full of com
pleteness in all its departments. In
matters relating to the farm, orchard

It does not ignore the family olrcle.
It i3 a fireside companion, much en
joyed by the women folks and tho
ohildren, each having a department
full of interest to them. The Rural
isinoreasing in oiroulation and influ
ence, and deserves the patronage of all

Dennis Kearney-.
Dennis Kearney tho notorious agi
tator, iu personal appearance is rather
short, clean shaven, with the excep
tion of a moustache, whioh is of a
light color. He has the true Hibern i
au cast of features, neither repulsive
nor yet attractive. While there is no
appearance of great intellectual abili
ty, yet he impresses-one with tbe idea
that he has a fair amount of common
sense, is bold aud courageous in the
presence of danger, und possesses
those qualities which are requsite in a
man who takes the front rank as a
leader of his fellows. When silent
their seems alight scowl, or express
Ion of discontent, in his face, not ex
actly sardonic, but conveying the im
pression of a large dissatisfaction
with something. But when speaking
this stolid-looking man undergoes a
marvelous change. His impassive
face glows, his eyes flash, his words
come like a torrent and with a clear
ness and vigor and point and direct
ness that denote tho natural orator.
He adapts his language to the men he
is addressing, and Is by no means
chary in the use of epithets and hard
expressions, sometimes rising to pro
fanity. New York Tribune.
A Chen Disinfectant.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald saya that tho "chloride of lead
is the most efficient and cheapest de
odorizer and disinfectant known."
As some neutralizing agent of this
kind should be freely used at this time
in every house, we give the process of
preparing aud using it, as given in tho
Herald :
To prepare a solution of chloride of
lead on a small scale for family use,
take one-eighth of an ounce of nitrate
of lead and dissolve it in one quart of
boiling water; then dissolve one
ounce of common salt in five gallons
of water, pour the two solutions to
gether, and when settled pour off the
clear mixed solution aud keep well
corked in a demijohn or jug for use.
A cloth wet with this and suspend
ed in the room will neutralize all of
fensive vapors, and a little dashed in
to a privy, sink, drain or sewar will
disinfect and destroy all noxious gas
es by combining with them. It is
said to be in general use in England
for purifying sewers ; also for destroy
ing the stench of bilge water In the
holds of vessels.
We notice by the Nebraska papers
that U.S. Marshal Wm. Dally, is a
candidate for Governor of the Ante
lope State, with good chances of suo-
Umwo if-NTobraska-wiilelertTMI Gov
ernor, nnd re-elect Frank Welch to
Congress, she will do her whole duty.
