We aro frequently asked our
opinion regarding various. gentlemen
that will probably bo presented before
the Republican county convention for
places on the ticket this fall. We
have opinions of course regardiqg the
strength, qualifications and merits of
proposed candidates, and sometimes
express them freely, but always with
tho view, of best subserving the in
terests of the people aud pur party,
and never through malice, revenge or
a disposition to beat-somebody regard
less of all considerations-. While wo
would not shirk any duty imposed
upou us as a member of the party, we
would nob dictate, or seem to do so, as
editor of tho Republican paper, but
bear an attitude always that will en
able Us to accept promptly the ticket
nominated, and enter cordially upon
the execution of any work the parti
lays but for us.. It Is our prerogative,
however, to urgo unity, harmony, in
the party, andthat strong, honest, ca
pablo men be brought out for. us and
the people to support. The conven
tion must look to-it, and politiciana
who aro now talking up certain can
didates must look to it, that a- tioket.
of bucIi men is presented. And re
gard to locality must be had for har
mony aud tho largest success. The
south, the north, the west, as well as
the east, have "timber" fitted for any
of the offices, and ho one locality
should aim to -gobble up more than
one office if more should be conceded
by the county to one locality then let
it be conceded, and not be obtained by
wirepulling, trading, trickery and bad
faith. Give us give the people a
ticket of this character, one that can
stand and move forward by its own
iutririsio worth, aud . inherent
streugth, and Nemaha county will
roll up suoh a .majority for tho Re
publican ticket as will mako one
think of the early days when Nemaha
was tho banner-Republican county.
We direot tho attention of the' leaders
of the party to these matters at this
early day, long before conventions are
called, and before possible mistakes
are so crystalized as to bo beyond re
pair. We nearly always hear it said
after conventions are' over that this or
that thing done at the convention
was-a mistake. These mistakes are
usually ruado before the convention
meets, .sometimes by being over zeal
ous without system, and at other
times by lack of zeal, or a prevailing
disposition to not care who is nomi
nated nor where the nominees are loi
cated. Let tho mistakes of former
years serve as a lesson for this year.

The announcement of the death
of Rev. W. B. Slaughter, which oc
curred at Omaha on the 2Gth Inat.,
has caused a thrill of sorrow among
-those who knew him, his goodness of
heart and intellectual worth, outside
his church as well as among his
brethren and sisters. We copy the
following brief biography of the de
ceased, from the Omaha Eexmblican:
Dr. Slaughter came to Nebraska
about fifteen years ago, and has been
a Very active worker in the church
during all that period and as many
years beforo removing to this State.
He has always been an esteemed pas
tor, an earnest christian, a talented
speaker and a writer of prominence.
He has been a leading member of the
Nebraska conference ever since hobo-
came a member, and has been honor
ed with various high positions by his
brethren in-the ministry, as well as
the marked favor of the presiding
bishops. Ho was at the timo of his
death presiding eider of Omaha dis
trict, and in that capacity has been a
favorite with preachers and people.
His reputation as an author was gain
ed by the publication of a scientific
work entitled "The Modern Genesis."
This has been favorably spoken of by
many of the best mlndsof the nation.
Tho deoensed presiding elder is
known in all parts of Nebraska, hav
ing traveled in- the interest of tho
church throughout most of this Statp.
He was pastor of the First M. E.
Church of this city three years. He
also served the Churchos of Lincoln,
Brownvillo, Nebraska City, and other
prominent points with marked suc

These sensible hints on haymak
ing we find in an exchange: Hay
that has been out late may be im
proved by curing in the cock instead
of drying In the sun. Being compar
atively dry when cut, it is very soon
cured ; and if put up in cocks as Boon
as it is thoroughly wilted, it will heat
and steam and becomemuoh softened,
and will remain greener than If sun
dried in the swath. The failure to
gather tho hay while it is at its best,
is too frequent an Inexcusable neglect
at this season. If farmers could be
convinced of how much of tho feed
lug value of hay Is lost by loaving the
grass to become ripe, . hard, and
woody, It would no longer bo permit

The editor of the Methodist Re
corder, published at Pittsburgh, re
ceived, a few' days ago, a nicely print
ed circular, in a neat envelope, from
Mr. Ingersoll, as an offering to the
memory of. Rev. Alex. Clark, its late
editor, he desired to place one flower
on his grave. This is beautiful. Tho
Infidel placing a flower of affection on
the grave of a Christian. It speaks
tho power of lovo. Will the people
learn a lesson?
FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST. '
Father Bacon is gone; he is ''gath
ered with his fathers;" he. has gone
down to the grave like a "shock of
corn fully ripe," his form waB bent
with, the weight of 81 years, we will
all miss him ; his long residence here
made his presence a part of London.
We feel. the loss but he haB gained.
The frail mortal body is given up for
the spiritual one. "There Is a natur
al body, and there is a spiritual body,"
be has entered the spiritual body.
Father Bacon wassick most of the"
fall and winter, and It was thought
he would not live to see spring, but
he rallied, until last Wednesday, was
taken down and laid cold and tftoon-
scIoub until Saturday night at 10.
o'clook, he departed for the spirit
world, from his residence in London.
Funeral services at tho Christian
church, Sunday 4 o'clook p. m. dis
course by Elder Hawley. Then
old friends and neighbors followed
the remains to the burial ground
where some beautiful and appropri
ate wo'rds were spoken by Alex. Mc
Klnney. Father Bacon had every care and
attention tho family couldgive, good
medical treatment. His daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Anna Bacon, .never wearied
in her watching, and care, in his fee
bleness and. Illness. He had lived 21
years In London. He worshipped
with the Christiansr for many years
of his early life ho was a Baptist, and
retained muoh of the firm, decided,
persistant faith of that uoblo saint.
Ho had a iirro 'faith In God, and tried
to obey him. He was n..very devout
man "walking in all the ordinances of
tho Lprd's house blameless." He
left threesons and a daughter. H6n.
Sam. 'Bacon, founder of the Blind
school at Nebraska City; is his son.
His companion went a fevr years be
fore him. Although for some years,
he had retired from active business
life,' yet the departure of any one
would not bo felt oaoro than that of
Father Bacon: And.raay we all learn
a los3ou in this evidence of our mor
tality that oven' the longest life will
come to an end. "In Adam all die."
But let the glory of this thought be
disporsed with this inspired utterance
"in Christ all shall be made allvo."

present, and for the mostpart In earn
est. After the report of the several
o'omml.ttees had been approved the
question of tho' removal of the Coun
ty Seat this fall was taken up. A. W.
Morgan, W. T. Reed, W. Dundaa
and J. H. Dundag, F. B. Tiffany, Dr.
Randall and others, spoke In favor of
it. They all said that they had all the
while been of the opinion that it was
not best to move in ihe matter this
fall, but sinoo considering it more
thoroughly, they had changed their
mind that th'ey believed now was the
time to strike, aud that they were
ready for the fight. In fact, all seem
ed to be aching for an excitement.
C. Dundas said ho -was not in favor of
undertaking it this fall, but if the ma
jority decided to take hold of the mat
ter, he should do all in his powor to
aid it. . The politicans of the County
seem to bo inclined to wholly ignore
our interestsraud It was the strongly
expressed opinion that they would
continue to do so till We forced them
to respect us, and that we propose to
do.

tective named Hazen In the employ of

named Llewellyn, another named
Lykins, and a party of bandits led by
the notorious Doc: Middleton. The
two first named detectives had met
Middleton by appointment in a wild
spot near the outlaw's headquarters,
for the purpose of making-some kind
of terms of compromise with him,
with a view to the destruction of the
band of desperadoes, when something
occurring that arroused the suspic
ion of Middleton he at once opened
the fight by shooting Hazen, badly
wounding him. Tho latter returned
the fire shooting the outlaw through
the body, aud doubtless giving him
Ills death dose. Others of the outlaw
gang were killed, and probably Ly
kins. Llewellyn was slightly wound
ed. Hazen was conveyed to Omaha,
and will recover from his wounds.
