To bp tholeditor of a Republican
paper Hi Nemaha county, when the
nntaconietlo factions, which from
time to time curse the party, are at I
work, is not the pleasantest business
one could ha engaged in. Jt is espec
ially disagreeable to o'.e who abhors
strife, and at all times seeks' to har
mouize demoralizing elements and to
build up the party with a view for
a victory wr a common enemy. Let
one B3y whatever they may at such
time or move in any direction, it is
liable to tie misconstrued to be for or
ceaint one or the other of the de
stroying elements The factions are
buy now arraying the party, or at
tempting to do so, in distinct lines of
battle on their respective sides. What
for? To fight each other. And for
what, in the name of decency, are
they aoked to engage In this political
strife? What great question of in
terest is there to the Republicans of
Nemaha that they should thus take
sides against each other? There is
nothing ofthe kind nothing of im
portance nt Issue. All this noise
comes from two or three influential
men in the party who are endeavor

Captain has been a goodand popular

faithful official in any office he mighj
be called to serve.

J. B. Docker announces himself
for Co. Clerk this week, aud will not
pans the ordeal of a party convention
either. Well Joe would make as good
a clerk as anybody, if he can get the
office. That's as much as we can say
against him.
A. H. Giimore, who has for sis
3'ears so faithfully served the county
as Treasurer, is again asking his par
ty for the nomination for re-eleotion.
No one can say a word against Mr.
Giimore as a man or au official. He
and Mr. Bailey are the only two can
didates for that office that we have
heard of, aud should either be called
to handle the finances of the county,
the people will have confidence that
their money will be safe and their in
terests truly served.
Under "announcements' will be
found that of G. W. Culp, of Aspin
wall precinct, for Sheriff. Mr. Culp
has been a resident of this county
since his discharge, at the close of the
war, from an Illinois regiment, in
which he served some three or four
years. During all this time we have
been intimately acquainted with him,
and he has always proved himself an
honorable man and of stalwart Re
publicanism. We deem him pecu
liarly fitted for the office of Sheriff,
and if elected the people will find him
so.
R. S. Hannaford .has been ma
king molasses, and exhibits to us a
specimen of his skill in that business
that far surpasses anything In the
sorghum line we have ever seed. It
is very fine, clear, sparklinir, amber

in the South. Mr. Hannaford is in
the business pretty extensively this
season, and will have a large quantity
of this splendid artiole for sale. He
has also a No. 1 outfit for making up
want a bargain.
We have been asked, "Who are
candidates for Couuty Judge?" We
have heard of none, certainly, but
l Judge Stull. Whoever mdy oppose
the Judge In convention, we take the
liberty of saying, there is no good
reason why he should not be re-elect
ed. Nemaha has never had a more
conscientious or capable a county or
Probate Judge than Stull, and the du
ties of the office" require such abilities
as he pdflllBses It isn't every "good
fellow" that would make a good
Judge a fact that should be remem-
bered tne convention

Our Schools
The city schools opened on Monday
morning for another years' work,
with a very larte attendance, every
seat being occupied.
Prof. H. M. Wallaop, late of New
York City, is the Principal in charge
of the schools, and the opening indi
cated that he was familiar with
school work. He is a gentleman of
large experience, and will hold our
school up to the standard which it has
so long occupied.
Miss Alice Hitt Is in charge of the
High School in the capacity of assist
ant. She has been found so efficient
in her labors heretofore, that no one
can doubt of her success in this de
partment. Miss Lou M. Tucker has been placed
in the Grammar School. She is oue
of the very good teachers whioh the
board has alwayB wisely sought to re
tain, and is justly appreciated by
soholars and patrons.
Mitjs Celia Furnas has been assign
ed to the Second Intermediate De
partment. Miss Furnas is a graduate
of the High School, and was a very
thorough and earnest student, and if
she brings the same energy to bear in
her work as a teacher, she cannot fail
to succeed.
The flrBt or lowest Intermediate De
partment is presided over by Mrs.
Emma L. Holiz. Mrs. Holtz Is favor
abJykowtKilnthJs city by her work
j'n thei8econd Primary Department
two years ago. She Is a very excel
lent disciplinarian and teacher.
Miss Emma Clark has been return
ed to the Second Primary Depart
ment. She. is a lady that will succeed
well in any place, as the board have
already found by experience, and
they have taken the liberty to put
her where she Is most needed.
In the first or lowest Primary De
partment, Miss Anna W. McDonald
is queen of all she surveys. Miss Mc
Donald has enjoyed good success in
her teaching in different parts of the
county, and while she has never been
engaged in primary work extensively.
she has a faculty of adapting herself
to the situation and will teaoh the in
fants in a very creditable manner.
The board have had the cornice of
the school building replaced during
the summer vacation and other nec
essary repairs made.
Mr. George Carrington has charge
of the building as janitor, and is ac
tive and pushing in his work.
As the management of the schools
have been changed, it will be well for
the patronB to remember that it is
their duty to visit the schools fre
quently aud form their judgment
from observation, and not from hear
say. Too much indifference to the
welfare of the schools has character
ized our people-in tha past, certainly
so far as visiting the school is concern
ed, and a little more attention can
very profitably be bestotved.

such a story will injure Mr. Bailey
with his old Republican friends. We
know that Mr. Bailey had not deter
mined to be n candidate one hour be
fore his announcement was printed
in last week's Advertiser. We
were present, and Mr. Howe was
not present when his final decision
was made. Mr. H-we will support
Mr. Bailey for Treasurer, but the lat
ter decided the matter and announced
his name only after the most urgent
Bolicitations of his friends who have
for years fought shoulder to shoulder
with him in the old Republican par
ly. We say this only for truth and

manner, and said election shall be
conducted in all respects the same as
Is provided by law relating to goneral
elections for county purposes."
We understand from the reading of
the above that a special election can
not be incorporated in and become a
part of a general election ; and that
while it may be appointed and held
on the same day that a general elec
tion is held, all tho expense attending
a special election on auy other day
will have to be Incurred. Separate
notices will have to be printed and
posted, setting forth what the election
is for. where ib will be held in the
preciuct, etc., and ballot boxes, judg
es mid clerks, other than those who
serve for the general election will
have to be appointed, and to all In
tents and purpose such special elec
tion will have to be separate and, dis
tinct from the general election. ThiB
point will be contended for firmly. We
refer to this matter from the fact that
the relocators use the very potent ar
mimentif true that there will be no
expense attending the calling of a
special election. We say tlfe're will
aud bo advise the people.
And then when this is done the ex
penses attending the whole mat'er is
not3et half incurred, providing the
relocators ate successful in getting
the county seat "on wheels," which
would be the case if the place where
the county seal is now located did not
carry two-fifths of the votes polled.
In that case the 2d sectlou of the law
provides for another special ehction,
as follows :
If it shall appear upon the canvass
of said vole that uo one plucy tia re
ceived three-filths of all tUe voles cart
and if it shall further appear that
three-fifths of all the votes cast have
been castlu favor of places other than
tneone where said county seat is then
located, it shall be the duty of said
board of county commissioners to Im
mediately call a special election in
the same manner as provided in .sec
tion one of this act.
Howls that? Does our relocating
friends propose success with no ex
pense attending it? They are either
ignorant or dishonest, certaiuly.
After the second special elecMon.
providing the second election does
uot settle the question on some point
by a three-fifths vote, then the matter
would be settled at the next general
election, as provided for in Sec. 5
which is as follows:
If it shall appear upon the canvass
of said vote that uo one place has re
ceived three-fifths of all the votes le
gally cast at said eleotlou, and if it
shall appear that less than two-fifths
of all said votes have been oaBt In fa
vor of the prespnt county seat, said
board of county commissioners shall,
at the next general election held In
such countj', again submit to the elec
tors thereof the question of the re-location
of the county seat.
We are confident that we are nor
mistaken in our view of the law, a
to the intent of the law makers; for
they have made a distinction,
clearly, by providing for special elec
tions iu two instances and a general
election in one. Our effort from the
beginning has been, and Bhall contin
ue to be, fair and truthful representa
tion for the information of the voters
and tax payers of the county. And we
declare it is absurd for any one to
contend that all this removal busi
ness can be doue without material,
not to say heavy expense to the
county.
Now regarding the S40.C30 court
house which la perplexing the remov
ers. While itds true the law does not
specify forty thousand or any other
number of dollars, there is more
truth than poetry iu the proposition,
for the law does provide and is man
datory, that the county .commission-
era, should the county seat be remov
ed to a locality where there are no
county bulldiugs, shall provide, or at
tempt to do ao, suitable court house
and other county buildings. This
explicit duty, defined on pnge SGI, a
part of Bee. 'Jo of the laws of 1S79,
would certaiuly require the commis
sioners to submit u proposition to
erect county buildings. This law is
as follows, In full :
It shall be the duty of the county
board of each county: .... To erect
or otherwise provide, when necessary,
aud the finances of the couuty will
justify it, and keep in repaii, a suita
ble court house, jail, and other neces
sary county building, and to provide
suitable rooms and offices for the ac
commodation of the several courts of
record, th9 county board, clerk, treas
urer, sheriff anil clerk of the district
court, and to provide suitable furni
ture therefor. But no appropriations
shall be made for the erection of any
Cqti nty .build Intra -."A-.ri H Tjenerlu
election, and the snme is ordered by
two-thirds of the legal voters voting
thereon.
Now what would (he relocators do
with su h a proposition o! this law
provides for? Vote it down? Then
what would you do with the court
and offices? Camp out?
Gentlemen removers, when yon
tell the people there will be no ex
pense attending your enterprise, yon
are attempting to deceive, for should
you succeed in relocating, the very
next move you would make would be
for county buildings, and very prop
erly too, for it would be Impossible to
get along with the affairs of the
county without the usual county
buildings.
This question arises again at this
stage of the argument : Do the peo
ple want to be taxed for these build
ings now before they know where
tbey want the buildings erected ? Do
they want the county to incur all the
expenses of two or three elections on
a proposition to remove the county
seat at a time when they can't deter
mine what pint it would be best
to remove it? We think not. The
voters and taxpayers, whp care abont
these things will answer in the negative.

Very well. Probably we did over

twoorthreethousanddollars; in fact,
since the Post lias taken the pains to
ascertain the exact price of as good a

did. Yes. a court house as good as
that of our neighbors Is all we Bhould
contend for. and will join with the
