Henry M. Spoflord, who has been so long contesting Kellogg's seat in the TJ. S. Senate, died atSuphen Springs last weelc. Miss Xeilson's estate is-, estimated at 8200,000. She willed most of her pro perty to Rear Admiral Henry Carr Glynn, C. Ii. The York Tribune has- changed pro prietors, going into the hands of a Democratic firm, and will hereaf ter be run as that kiniljof a paper.; In northern "Wisconsin ore has been discovered in large quantities, which jissay 04 per cent of pure lead and over 40 ounces of silver to the ton. The Tammany Democrats have call ed a State convention to nominate a candidate for judge of the court of ap peals. They declare thej' will not sub mit to being the fifth wheel of tho Democratic coach, The Democrats of Alabama have hung up their shotguns and adopted another plan which is to deliberately steal the election bj- stealing the Re publican tickets ;from the ballot box and substituting, thereon, democratic tickets. That is the way they obtained their late victory. Recently at the State Democratic convention of Texas, Mr. Stewart in his speech presenting the name of Lieut Governor Sayer for Governor, said,. "I have heard no charge against him, except that he is a young man. Let me say, young as he is, he is old enough to have shed his blood in de fense of his country." The truth was he shed his blood fighting against his countrv. as a confederate soldier. Rut the old confederacy is all the country a Southern Democrat knows, and the wounds received in its defense are the best recommendations for preferment. If Hancock is elected the confederacy will be tho country, and confederate soldiers will be the patriots. Judge J. S. Black, one of the leading Democrats of the United States, wrote a letter, addressed to J. G. Blaine, dated Feb. 15, 1873, regarding Gen. Garfield's connection with Oakes Ames and Cred it Mobilier. We call attention to the following closing paragraph of his let ter: "Now couple this with JJr. Ames ad mission that he gate no explanation whatever of the matter to General Gar field, then reflect that 'not a particle of proof exists to show that he learned anything about it previous to his con versation with me, and I think you will say that it is altogether unjust to put him on the list of those who know ingly and wilfully joined the fraudu lent association in question." "Now coHple this" opinion of an em inent Democratic jurist and statesman, who gave the matter tho most careful investigation before venturing an opin ion now couple this opinion, we say with that of the g. e. and others of like calibre and honesty, and what shall be the verdict of candid honest men? Morton, chairman Nebraska State Democratic Committee is miming his campaign by proclamations issued reg ularly through the Omaha Herald. The last is relating to the payment of Southern war claims, pensions, and for loss of slave property. He cites existing constitutional amendments, and claims under these, such claims cannot be paid. Does not Mr. Morton, and all others know that the Democrat ic party as an organization, claim that tho constitutional amendments to which he refers and quptes, were not constitutionally adopted? Does he not know that a bill is pending in Con gress to increase the TJu'ted States Supreme court bench with twelve ad ditional Judges? That if Hancock is elected ho will have the appointment of these Judges? That they will all be in favor o,f declaring tho const' tu- tional amendments in question, null and void? Does he not know that al ready $2,523,000,000 Southern claims of the character we name, are on file at Washington waiting the political power to allow them? Does he not know that a large proportion of this vast gum is really for slaves lost by the W, only presented under another name? These are facts the people, re gardless of political affiliations will fo well to think of before voting to turn this government into the hands of the Democracy. "Une(lual Political Eepresentatiou in He- UiuftlU The Omaha Itepublican preaches a lengthy political' sermon from the above text, in whiich it attempts to show its readers that nearly, or quite all the counties in the State arc not represented in Republican State con vention in proportion to population, and urges that hereafter, representa tion in convention, should be based on rojmJation, and not on Republican votes cast, as now, and heretofore. The article is rather ingeniously construct ed, and evidently for the purpose, in reality, of centering political power in the city of Omaha. First, three sectional lines, running cast and west, are drawn. "South Ne braska." "Central Nebraska.'" and "Xorth Nebraska." Central Nebraska embraces all the counties bordering on the Plattee river both sides. North Nebraska, north of that, and south Ne braska, south. Then, in tho general footing, Central Nebraska and North Nebraska are added torether, and set off against South Nebraska, showing 240,423 population for "North and Cen tral Nebraska" to 200,110 for "South Nebraska." Then asrain the "River Counties" are cut off from the balance of the State, and still again divided by the Platte river, showing "North Platte" 71,771 population, to "South Platte" 57,020. Then on the principle, "2 is a 2, figure is a figure, 2 into 3 one time and 1 over," concludes with the finale, that North Platte is entitled to 14 additional delegates, and boutn Platte 8 additional! The census just taken, show South Platte population to be 279,337 and North Platte 173,203. In Omaha parlance, "there are too many holes in that skimmer, to hold water." Another item for consideration, while speaking on the question of rep resentation. The old political axiom used to be: "representation and taxa tion." That was sound doctrine when originated. Is still good. Ry reference to the assessed valuation of property in the State, for taxable purposes- 1SS0, is, in round numbers, a fraction less than ninety million dollars. Of this the riv er counties pay on, in'round numbers, a fraction over twenty-seven million dollars nearly one-third of the entire State. In the Stato convention, the river counties have a representation of 85 delegates .out of 37.") about one fifth. Of this last, we do not complain. Simnlv cite it as an existing" fact. In our conventions, Ave have decided and wisely on the Republican vote cast, as the basis of representation. If any county in the State fails to keep up its basis, be it in South, Central, or North Nebraska, the liver counties, or those north, or south of the Platte, let it share the consequences. Senator Thurman lets up on General Garfield of Ohio, in this amiable fash ion: "Oakes Ames swore that Garfield got ten shares, and Garfield says that he did not do anything of the kind. There was a good deal of talk, but no proof against him, and I am compelled to say that Garfield gets out of it bet ter than anybody else, and on the whole, there was not sufficient evidence to fasten the corruption at his door." After considering all the testimony, on the whole we concur in this view of Mr. Garfield's connection Avith the Credit Mobilier. From the York World, Oct. 10, 1S73. Mark what Senator Allen G. Thur man says ''There is not sufficient evi dence to fasten the corruption at his door." The World is and was a Dem ocratic paper. Mark the words of its indorsement of Thurman's position "After considering all the testimony." These opinions are precisely those of The Advertiser, formed and ex pressed from the testimony bearing upon the matter, and it is this testi mony that Hancock papers refuse to publish, and dare not publish. They impose upon the people their lies and garbled statements, knowing that but few can have the official documents to read so that they may decide according to the truth. Let it also be borne in mind that Thurman and Garfield are politically bitterly opposed to each other and of the same State. Garfield has since been chosen to take Mr. Thur man's place in the Senate, and we can not conceive of a motive for him to so unequivocally acquit Garfield except ing that prompted by a spirit of jus tice. Redick who has recently gone back to the party that disowned him a few years ago, recently made a speech in Omaha, in which he gave as his reason for the political somersault ho has turned, that the Republican party, in 1S70 swindled Tilden out of the Presi dency! Notwithstanding this offense, which so shocked the nerves of John I, he continued to act with the Re publican party until very recently. Wiihin the past year, he attended the Nebraska State Republican Convenrion to aid in securing a Grant Delegation to Chicago. Failing hi that, he went to the Chicago convention on the same mission. Prom there he telegraphed his son Charley, to "bet a half million dollars on Grant's nomination." He returned to Omaha, made a speech at the Garfield ratification meeting in that city, in which he said he was "pleased with the nomination of Garfield," and "threw up his hat" on general principles. But still, Hayes swindling Sammy out of the Presidency, was more than John could stand! He'd forgot all about that swindle however, until some one of the "unterrified" whispered in his ear "United States District A ttorney!" From parties just returned from the Republican Valley, Ave learn that the grass crop this fall in the valley will be fully rs large as ever before." The recent rains have given it another start, The anu it is coming along nicely. late com is also doincr well. State : Journal. How the Hancock Democrats Gave a 'Tree Ballot and Pair Count" in Alabama. The Republicans of Alabama have just issued to the people of the United States an address in which is portrayed concisely and convincingly the details of the manners and methods used by the Democrats at the late election to cheat the Republicans and makes the State appear to be largely Democratic. The Republicans knowing, by former elections, that the Democrats would not allow a fair count, in one election district, given as an example, had in telligent members of the party posted near the polls who handed the Repub lican voters their tickets, by an under standing, and saw the tickets deposit ed by the voters in the hands of the inilrrps of election. Ey this method the Republicans had positive evidence of the number of Republican votes polled and the names of the voters. The result was that in no instance was there a fair count. For instance, in Lowndes county at one voting place the Republican candidate received 100 votes. In the return he had but 70 o and the Democratic candidate 125. At another poll the Republican received 230 votes; tho return, or count showed but 24. At another poll where there were only 25 Democrats, the returns gave him 230. At another poll the Republican received 103 votes, nearly all there were cast in that precinct, as there were but three white men living there; but the return gave him only 77 and the Democrat 89. And simi lar work was ' done at every voting place. Alabama is positively known to bo Republican by 25,000 majority but by such frauds they count the Re publicans out and publish to the world "70,000 majority for Alabama." This history of tho "superb" Ilan cock's party in Alabama shows it to be wicked and rascally beyond measure and we wish we had space to give it entire to our readers, but will make an extract suffice for tho present, in ad dition to what we give above: The same thing occurred at Porter's boat, where the vote was about 400 Republican to 50 Democratic, but at that precinct there was not one inci dent of a threatening character upon which to ground an excuse for not counting. Why they were not count ed is not known. AVe only know that the inspectors, after receiving votes all daj', have utterly failed to make any return whatever, and by their arbitra ry and unlawful omission have dis franchised about 500 votes. Why tho monotony was varied at this beat and the Republican majority only sup pressed, instead of being transposed, is perhaps accounted for by the fact that the Republicans, remembering their experience in formed elections when they had been counted out, de termined to remain at the polls en masse until their votes had been de clared. This fact, aided by sundry re marks, which were made during the day and night that the Republicans on ly wanted a fair count, and that the' would have that, appears to have had a salutary effect on the minds of the inspectors, and they did not feel it safe to close the building and go away with the ballot-box in the presence of the crowd outside without giving it a paci fying assurance. The statements ac cordingly made to them publicly that the votes, as counted, showed the Re publicans to have 350 majority; nev ertheless thev were suppressed all the same. At Old Elam the list of votes, as kept, showed that 440 Republican votes had been polled to sixteen Democratic. The count proceeded at this place un til over 200 Republican votes and live Democratic votes had been counted out. At this junction the candle ex pired, and it appeared that no other light could be procured. It was ac cordingly proposed to Charles Pope, the colored inspector, who had been selected for the position because of his ignorance and stupidity, that all the votes be placed together and sent to town, in lieu of a return, which prop osition Pope accepted. This proceed ing vitiated everything, because, under this law, the inspectors sire required to make the count immediately, and it is upon their return, and not by a count of the votes, that the Board of Super visors declares the result. To make the thing safe, however, and to make the injury resulting from their action irreparable, the votes as cast, and till the loose papers and trash in the room, with several hundred ballots of both parties which had not been voted were dumped indiscriminately in a bag and sent to the Sheriff's office as the return froniElnm. At Union Academy and Dooley's where the Republican votes exceed the Democratic, the latter have been returned as having majorities. The features of the counts at these beats do not differ materially from those related as to the other beats, ex cept that the inspectors instead of transposing the Republican and Dem ocratic votes, as was done elsewhere, appear to have attempted to extend the Democratic vote beyond the Re publican vote, without diminishing the latter. They did not bear in mind the late census returns, however, and have returned more votes from their precinct than those returns show thee are mule citizens over twenty-one years of age. The Buffalo Commerciul,in reference to the methods of carrying elections in the South, says: But serious as this condition of af fairs is in any republican community, it would not be so bad if violence and fraud were not sanctioned by public sentiment. The best class of citizens, the press and the entire democratic party of the south approve everything that is deemed necessary to democratic success regardless how lawless or rev olutionary it may be. Any one famil iar with the state of feeling in the south knows full well that this is tho case. In short a casual perusal of the southern papers will furnish sufficient evidence to convince any unprejudiced person. This may be applied to the Demo crats of the North as well as those oE the South. There is nothing that would distress the average Democrat of Nebraska, even, than to see some plan devised for a free ballot and a fair count in the Southern bulldozed States. To carry elections by fraud or any kind of foul means, is the most prominent and most cherished of Dem ocratic principles, North and South.

The Qld Mc&egpr Man. and "Wife. Sbll Thought to be the Kansas '. Out-Throats. -'; A pnrrpsnnndent signing himself Not a Vigilant," sends the following nm v.pntoii station. Nebraska, to the rhif.!nro7,?;mfi.f-In vour issue of Au gust l2th, over the signature of "Vigi; lantes," in regard to .the Bender outbfc I find notlungsurpriziug m icmma they had been followed into a far coun try and shot, inasmuch that another vigUante has it that they never left Labette county, but were captured and hanged. We will hear next that they were driven into a river and drowned. But it is suprising Unit the state gov ernor of Kansas never knew it, as the trnvernor. in a letter, congratulates the rviiiturar cm his capture. In a hearing before a court the Captured Benders were identified as the true parties. Nobody swore that they were not, but othe--sweve willing to swear to them. Whether the Kansas or interested par ties are trying to avoid paying the .re ward offered will bo showi at some future time: also, whether the captur ed Beiders will be found anywhere after a few days, or whecher the vigi lantes will provide for them sure this time. Ooe thing was surely neglected, namely, that on the- evidence adduced they were not held, for trial and thus eilber proved guilty or not. Why did your "vigilante" not come into court and swear those captured at this time were not the Benders, or why did he not let it be known ere this that the Benders were killed, in stead of lettini the excitement go on for over two weeks, and save tho trouble to tho Kansas government and the expense of getting them on a requisition from Nebraska? The whole Bender family were alive in Schuvler, Colfax county, Neb., on the 2 ist day oc July, 1880, and likely if "Yigilaute" killed any body it may have been some horse thieves who in fested that part of the country at the time and were frequenters of Benders hotel. The old man saui that tne Bender outfit never was caught yet, but acknowledged the corn this time. He acknowledged to have moved Crom Independence to the Bender farm, and assumed the name of Bender. Mr. Malt Miller would not swear that it was not Bender. A man who herded cattle near the Bender farm for two years i ecognized him. Also the ex-Sheriff of Montgom ery county, Kansas, identified liim. But none of these parties were sum moned, nor any neighbors who might know him were allowed in court to idmiHfv him. The ceneral behet still is ttial tnese lacceriy cuugiib iwmra are the original ones, and that it is only a matter ot dollars and cents between the captor and those having offered rewards. Mv. YckncknoAvl edged to Mr. Mar tin, o Labette county, last fall, that nobody had suffered death for the Ben ders. I think your "vigilante" reads well, but don't correspond with the storv Avritten about the Benders pre viously, and also think that the Gov- ernor of Kansas ought to tiiorougiuy investigate this matter, to set all par tios at rest. And here is some eA'idence that would be sufiicient in ordinary crimi nal cases. We copy from the Stato Journal: She'-iff Gregg, of Dodge county, the man who captured the so-called Ben ders, arrived in the city yesterday. Notwithstanding the Kansas authori ties declare that the o'd couple he ar rested a.id took back to Kansas as the Benders are not the right parties, he insists that tneyaie, and to corrobor ate his belief has the auuiavus oi eight parties Avho swear that they are the Benders. Among the number Avho are positive that tuey are the r'ht parses is a man Avho built their house, and av'oo was Avith them every day for a month. Mr. G egg thinks Senator Yotk. brother of one of the murdered men. has an object in covering the matter up. The senator, it seems, of fered a : e ward of S-i.000 for the cap ture of the mu'-dere'-s. and the sheriff thinks he is not inclined to be as liber al iioav as Avhen his brother's minder Avas fresh in the memory of the entire Avest. Good News from Maine. Augusta Letter to New York Times. The one thing that has astonislied the bourbon democrats morethan'any thingelse, except the cooling of the greenback zeal, is the cordiality with AA'hich the republicans of all classes take hold ot the campaign. They be gan in July Avith very plaintive homi lies about the disappointment ot Mam republicans at Garfield's nomination and sharp remarks about the bitter an imosities of the diiterent factions. But Avithin a feAV Aveeks they have felt the quick, sharp, crushing bloAVS wiVch Senator Blaine has delt Avith astonish ing effect. It is agreed that the Sena tor has never conducted a canvass so effectively as he is conducting this, and his speeches are models in spiritand in matter. The democrats have also Avit nessed, and are destined to see many limes, the rather discouraging specta cle of the Grant and Blaine and Sher man "factions" on the same platfonn, nncoverincr the hideous skeleton of democratic election methods. They observe no "coldness to'ward Garfield." no pulling apart, no differences that effect republican harmony or confi dence. They grieve to find Blaine Lo gan, Matthews, Woodford, Kilpatricl:, Raum.and other chiefs of clans array ed Avith proA-oking good-AVill under the same banner. They are astounded and cliasrined, but they may enter tain one consoling thought: they can thus be prepared for the overAvhelming defeat that aA-aits them. The Soroerville (Al.) Critic talks very frankly in its last issue. It con tains the folloAA'ingcard: To General James B. Weaver, Iowa: You are correct about the "stuffimr of the ballot-boxes in Alabama." We "stuffed" them, and AA'e mean to do so again in November for Hancock, as Ave did in our recent election. When Ave you left Alabama you thought you had her in your breeches pocket.

General Weaver the Greenback candidate for the Presidency, passed tnrougn tins city to-day on his way from Arkansas to Maine- no ayui return ouum. Weaver is accumulating a good deal of information in the South which will make him a stalwart Republican after the fitful Greenback fever has run its course. Being asked about the late election in Alabama, he replied as folloAVs: . ,, . "I baA'e no hesitation in saying that there is no prospect Avhateyer of a fair count and an lionesc election m -tvm-bama Avithout the intervention of Fed eral supervisors at the polls. The Democrats down thero make no secret of the fact that they counted out the votes in opposition to their candidates. Before the election they made an open boast of doing this and then reported a majority of 00,000, which can't be ex plained in any other way." "What is the relative strength of the nnrfips in Alabama?" "The Democrats haA'e not, on the most liberal estimate, more than 70, nno votes, and vet they cave 00,000 ma jority. The thing is absurd. The to tal A'ote is about nu.uuu aim tno com bined opposition to the Democratic partv, if it could be polled and counted, Avould have a majority of over 20,000." "While you were in Alabama, did you ever hear it alleged that the pres ence of supervisors atthe polls preA'ent ed anv Democrats from voting?" "No, they don't pretend to say that, but thev have a hundred Avays of pre venting the colored people from voting and that Avithout resort to actual vio lence or murder. For instance, when ever a negro attempts to vote the. Re publican ticket, he is challenged, and all sorts of questions asked him so as to take time, ten or fifteen minutes. Then, when the hour for closing the polls arrives, there is sure to ue a great, croAvd of the colored men Avho have not been able to get in their votes. Then thev will circulate a story the day be fore election that there is liable to be a roAV at the polls, and will advise the negroes, unless they Avant to getkilled, to stay aAvay." Waj.
