Parties whose veracity and inleg
rity is hardly up o par in this city,

in the country us they are in town.
A game of base ball was played
atBrownville last Saturday between
the Nemaha City club and Brown
ville club, resulting in 34 scores for
Brownville and 32 for Nemaha City.
That was a bad scoop the Nemahas.

tries them a whack the victory may
be on the other side. W7e would be
pleased to publish the tabular state
ment of the game, but have not time
or space to do so.
The opposition to Mr. Culbertson
are trying to create a sensation re
garding his hand writing. They
have discovered 6ome characters, said
to be his signature, ou the hotel rei;-
ister, and declare these hieroglyph ice
not to be a smooth fashionable style
of chirography. We are not acquaint
ed with Mr. Culbertson's penman
ship, but presume, lie being a hard
fisted and big fisted mechanic, that
he does not wiite as smooth and neat
a commercial hand as the soft-handed,
lHdy-fingered gentry might exaot.
We are sorry they are not pleased
with Mr. Culbertson's "fist." but
think he writeR an average legible
hand as good as the average Intelli
gent mechanic or farmer. Why,
these fine-haired copyists feel so bad
about Culbertson's writlug that they
will surely incorporate in their plat
form next lime that "No mechanic or
farmer need apply." "What right
has the shover of a jackplane or the
wielder of a sledgehammer, or a big
handed plowholder want to be a clerk
for, anyhow?" The answer will be
in by the 4th proximo.

Chancellor Fairfield, last Satur
day evening lectured in the Presbyte

of an audience ver3T respectable in
number aud intelligence. The Chan
cellor's subject "A winter in Italy"
was exceedingly interesting ; espec
ially so were his descriptions of Ven
ice, Milan, and Naples, the principal
points in his lecture. The Chancel
lor's descriptive powers are of a supe
rior grade and his mauner pleasant.
His audience was very attentive and
would have been pleased to have list
ened to him another hour. This was
our first sight of the Chencellor, and
we must confess that he did not im
press us as the intoleraut spirit that
some would have us believe he is, but
rather the reverse. A reader of faces,
however, would at one glance mark
Chancellor Fairfield as one who
would not meekly submit to be bul
lied or bulldozed, and if smitten on
one cheek, nothing but an unusual
stock of Christian fortitude on hand,
would induce him to "turn the other
also."

WARE, SILYER
Republican Meetings.
Reporter for The Advertiser.
On Wednesday evening, Oct. 15tb,
at Nemaha City on account of the
storm but a small number of voters
were present. AH but one or two of
the candidates were present. Hon.
Church Howe started from home to
attend, but turued aside to avoid the
storm. He sought shelter with Mr.
Nesbitt and had scarcely driven bis
team through the gateway when a
large cottonwood tree came crushing
down to the ground in front of his
horses, some of the branches striking
them. Mr. Howe says, "No more
turning aside," in the future he will
keep right on. Hon. T. J. Majors
came down from Peru on the train
but owing to the iuclemency of the
weather the meeting had adjourned.
On Thursday evening Oct. 23 it is in
tended to hold another meeting in
Nemaha City, when if the weather
does not prevent, a rousing time may
be expected. Howe will tell you all
about Stull's red uose.
Thursday evening, Oct. 16th at St.
Deroin, a ruost enthusiastic meeting
was had. Father Taylor was called
to take the chair aud gave the meet
ing a big send oft, by a fervent exhor
tation for a republican revival. The
bearers were addressed by the candi
dates In turn, followed by a rousing
speech from Mr. Howo carrying the
audience right along with him.
Some what less than.a thousand vo
ters.were present, hut it is confident
ly expected that Deroin'precinct will
poll; every vote for. tho Republican
ticket.
Friday evening, Oct. 17th at
Shockey's sohool house in Aspiuwall
precinct the candidates were again
fortunate in having a good'laudieuce
and a most efficient chairman in El
der Shockey, who upon taking the
chair gave a Bhort address making
clear the fact that "'There's a divinity
that shapes our ends &c" and out
lining what he considered to be the
duty of every loyal citizen in the ap
proaching crisis of affairs. The meet
ing was addressed by the candidates
as per bills after which Mr. Howe
was unanimously called and respond
ed, holding theaudience spell-bound
for upwards of an hour aud a half
with a most effective speech.
Ou Saturday evening, Oct. ISth a
meeting was held at Burke's school
house in the western part, of Aspin
wall precinct. Mr. Wm. Burke was
called to take the chair and at first
declined to serve, but on the people
Insissting he consented aud preserved
the best of order during the whole
evening. The meeting, as usual,
was addressed by the candidates fol
lowed by an enlightening discourse
from Mr. Howe, during which many
of the "Ways thatare dark aud tricks
that are vain" of the opposition were
brought to the keen bright sunlight
of publicity. At the close of Mr.
Howe's address, Messrs Ed. Swope,
T. G. -Ferguson, Chris Tucker and
others were called upon for remarks.
Mr. Tucker in his remarks stated
that he attended both the conven
tions. In place of a Democratic tick
et he, in uuison with other Inde
pendents had tried to have a Peoples
ticket nominated but no sir! they
were cast out and felt compelled to
vote the Republican ticket, though
there was one man on the Democrat
ticket whom they could vote for,
namely, Wm. H. Hoover.
On Monday evening, Oct. -0th,
the Republican meeting at the Center
school house, Bedford preciuct, was
called to order on time ; a motion
made that Jarvis S. Church act as
chairman, the response to which was
an "aye" that nearly lifted tho roof
oft. Aftor a few preliminary remarks
by Mr. JChurch the candidates were
introduced in turn and spoke
their sa, after which on the chair
man asking what was the further
pleasure of the meeting, Church
Howe was called for and responded
in an hour and a half speech; turning
the headlight of the 19th century, for
that length of time, full upon the do
ings of the last Congress, showing
from the record the list of bills that
were brought in, which if there had
been a Democratic Pesident would
have been passed and signed, paying
the southern war claims, paying for
every contraband liberated from sla
very and putting the rebel soldiers
side by side ou tho pension roll with
the loyal Union Soldier. Ho clearly
outlined the crisis that is approach
ing, and then made a ferveut apppal
to all loyal men to avert the danger
by quietly voting It down, aud not be
compelled to have to shoot it down.
Mr. Howe sustained the interest to
the last word of his speech. When
he had ended Jarvis S. Church was
called, arose and said, that he did not
vote a Republican, Democratic or In
dependent ticket merely for the sake
of the name, but for the fact that, in
this iiutauce, the candidates on the
Republican ticket were representative
to him of the most advanced ideas
aud of the best civilization of the 19th
century ; he should therefore give his
support to the Republican ticket.
He had watched, carefully, the course
of the Democratic parti, especiallj'
their action in the last Congress, and
on asking what is his duty, he could
come to no other conclusion. At the
close of Mr. Church's remarks, Col.
Sam. Rich who happened to be pres
ent, was called out, and answered by
certainly making the greatest effort of
his life. He began by saying in a
most solemn and impressive manuer,
that we had this evening listened to
some most weighty, true and glowing
words ou the duty of the hour; be
lieved that this country was ap
proaching a crisis, fraught with iesuea
as terrible as those of '61. whioh de
veloped in one of the most bloody
and terrible wars known to history ;
that it behooved the people of these
Northern States to be awake and
prompt to act in the emergenci ;
made an earnest aud effective appeal
for a united part ; desired that we be
not lulled into fancied security as in
1SG0-61, and so in a similar strain for
a full half hour, keepiug the audience

In the most Intense stillness. After
the meeting we heard the remarks on
all sides, that Col. Sam. had carried
off" the laurels from this meeting. As
many as a hundred voters were pres

In Memory.
Died. At Peru.NebraskaJn the
early morning of October loth, and
likewise in the early morning of his
manhood, George Wesley Crouch.
The deceased was formerly a student
of the State Normal School at Peru,
but for the past two years had been
engaged in teaching in Missouri.
During that time, however, he was
pursuing the study of music, for
which he possessed the greatest love,
and no small amount of talent. He
had chosen music as the field for his
life's work, aud early last spring re
turned to Peru to continue his study
of musical composition aud voice cul
ture under the direction of Prof. D. B.
Worley of the State Normal. The
summer vacation over, he had return
ed to his work with, renewed energi".
and a keener appreciaton of the re
sponsibilities of life, when lo! the
hand of death, in theform of typhus
fever, seized him, and hc'ia with us
no more. His body is beneath the
sod. His spirit is where? We be
lieve, aud oh, what consolation that
belief brings, that his beautiful voice
U now helping to swell the chorus of
praises to the blessed Redeemer. He
was loved and respected, and will be
missed by all who knew him; but
hark! Do you hear that strain of mu
sic floating on the eveniug breeze? It
is pleasiug to the ear, but yet we feel
there Issomethinglacklng. Ah! yes,
one part is weak ; one voice is mis
sing. The melody flows on, but in
the hearts of the singers is stirred
the sad refrain, "He's gone; he's
gone." Truly, "the one who goes is
happier far than those left behind."
The following little poem, written
and set to music by him, a short time
before his death, proves conclusive, it
seems to us, that he was a christian,
and prepared to meet his God. The
words seem almost prophetic:
We lay us down to sleep.
And leave to God the rest ;
Whether to wake or weap.
Or wake no more, bo blest.
Why vex our nonls with care?
The grave Is cold and low
Have wo found life so fntr
That we should dread to go?
No task have we begun
But other hands may ta je;
No work beneath tho sun
For which we need to wake.
Some faithful friends we've fun ml.
Bat thos who love us best, ,
When we are 'neath the ground,
Will sing on with the rest.
Then hold us fast, sweet death.
It so It seemeth best
To him who gave us breath
Tiiat wo should go to rest.
We lay us down to sleep,
Our weary eyos to close.
Whether to wake or weep.
Or wake no moro, He knows.

The opposition to Mr. Gilmore
tell their lies to fit tho crowd they
happen to get in. With temperance
me,n they declare Mr. Gilmore is a
whisky man and in beer and whisky
orowde they curse him for a temper
auce man. One of these stories must
of necessity be falae, for he cannot be
ou both sides at the same time. The
truth is, Mr. Gilmore is precisely
what he always has been ince the
people of the county have known
him a consistent temperance man.
While he is this, however, he is not a
brawling fanatic, quarreling with ev
eryone who does not believe as he
does. The people want just such a
man for the responsible position of
county treasurer.

"Gilmore has had the office long
enough," is not a good argument for
Republicans to use against him ia
not sufficient for Republicans to vote
against him is not sufficient ground
to defeat him to place in the best posi
tion a State Rights Democrat. The

tv in the course of the year, ami is in
the best position to influence the pol
itics of the county. Certainly no Re

turned into a Democratic stronghold.
This is as much as we have to soy
against Johnsou or Dooker, and Is a
good and legitimate reaeon why every
Republican should votu against them.

The poor man who votes against
Mr. Gilmore will vote against one who
never turned from the distressed or
needy before relieving their wants. A
more generous, unselfish aud chari
table gentleman we have not seen.
We are knowing to a number of cases
of the exercise of this greatest of vir
tues on the part of Mr. Gilmore ; and
in view of the fact that some are tra
ducing him, giving him the credit of
nothing good, sincere or noble, wo
feel warranted in speaking here as we
do, of this matter. People have no
moral right to btaud on the comers
and malign such men as Mr. Gilmore.
No man will do it a tool a thing
with two legs, a foul mouth in the
shape of a man, does such things:
But we will give one instance illus
trating Mr. Gilmore's charitable dis
position. A Democratio friend ap
proached us and we struck upon the
common theme, election matters. He
said :
"I do not know that I shall vote
at all."
"Why?"' we naturally Inquired,
supposing him to be a warm support
er of Frank Johnsou.
"Well," he answered, "Idisliketo
vote against so good a man of my par
ty, aud I don't like to vote against
one who years ago helped me and
trusted me in a time of absolute need." .
Then ho went on to tell his story
how coming to Brownville a fitranger,
with little money, he waB telling: a
friend that he had been refused credit:
for a few dollars' worth of groceries at
a house where he had spent al his
money, and was lamenting the desti
tute condition of his family, wheQ
Mr. Gilmore overhearing the conver
sation, said, cordially, "Come down
to my grocery and I will let you have
what you want." And the poor man
when and where he least expected it
was permitted to carry home withr
himBiich relief as made his wife and
his little ones glad. "Mr. Gilmore
wasn't electioneering. This was long
before lib was a candidate for office.
He didn't- wait to find out if the man
was "good," or honest, or a Republi
can. Simply, acase-of necessity va9
presented, and he saw clearly, al-.
though not a rich man himself, it was
in his line of duty to hi3 fellow man
to relieve it.
"I guess I can't vote for Gilmore,"
said our Democratic friend, "but I
had as lief vote against my brother,"
Mr. Gilmore would, no doubt object
to having anything like the foregoing
published, but we do it without ask
ing him, believing it due to him
whether he be elected or not.
For yotir harness go to
Bauer's-
The trnth will never defeat a Mr.
Gilmore. Will the people permit
outrageous slanders to do it. They
are telling now that he says "Any
man who takes a glass of beer Is a
drunkard." Can any saue man be
lieve Mr. Gilmore would make or ev
en believe such a thing? He has more
sense than to get ofFeuch suicidal ex
pressions, and tboBe who peddle this
and like thin trash haven't sense
enough to be successful liars but
they are liars all the same.
