Tho nanio of C. 1. Slociunb, of Kair
btuy, author of tho presimt high lioonso
liquor law, is favorably inontiuiicil as a
gubernatorial candidatt1, to sticcowl tho
projont governor. If tho Sentlml was
asked to uamo tho man most lit ted for
tho position, tho man who would at
tract attontion nbroai', and bo a gov
ornor among govornors, we would
mention tho naino of Hon.r Church
Howo of Nemaha County. Humboldt
tientinel.
Tho Omaha Telegram speaks of tho
"pulling" of a "dive" in that city, and
likens tho several young rural gentlo
men, caught therein, to "foolish bees
who had como to store thoir honey
amid tho evil associations of city im
morality." That was certainly a bad
llx for those llgurativo two-legged bees
to be in. Now if they luul deposited
their honey amid tho good associations
of city immorality, or tho city associa
tions of evil immorality, tho thing
would havo been bad enough, but hav
ing found beo hives for tho deposit of
thoir honey "amid tho ovil associations
of city immorality," it was simply
awful to think of.
1). McLean Shaw, a Now York law
yer, testified in thaOuiteau trial, that ho
heard tho prisoner say on ono occasion
in New York, that ho was "bound to
havo notoriety some way or other. Ho
might kill some big man and imitate
Wilkes IJooth." Shaw answered him
by saying, "And got hanged for it," to
which Ouiteuu said, "That's an after
consideration." This testimony made
tho assassin exceedingly angry, and In
constantly interrupted "tho witness by
calling him a liar, and other abusive
language. About every place he lias
ovor been holms jumped his board bill :

A largo share of the space in the O.
1). and . O. is devoted toahiiHO of Jim
Hlaiuo, and Nebraska is always solid
for Jilaino. Falb City Journal.
The Journal has reference to tho
(Hobe-Demoorat, of St. Louis, and the
filter Uctan, of Chicago. We are only
a casual reader of the foimer, but read
it close enough to know that "a largo
shaie of its space" is not deoicd to the
abuse ot Jim Blaine. In fact we do not
remember of that paper abusing him in
any instance. As to tho . i) wo daily
scan closely its editorial columns, and
are sure the Journal misrepresents it.
and cannot produce a single article
abusing tho "Plumed Knight," not to
mention "a largo share of its space." A
fair criticism of tho actsof a public man,
or to differ in opinion with him, we
cannot conceive to bo abuse. Probably
not so, however, with tho Journal; as
with tho average lilaino woishippor to
oven think differently from Hlaiuo is a
sufliciont cause for tho ostracism of tho
cuss daring such heresy. The Inttr
Ocean is tho best paper published any
where for tho west, and that is tho rea
son it circulates so extensively in Ne
braska and all over tho west. Every
Itopublican should take it.
Tho Granger's sneaking and ova
sivo stylo of journalism is very con
spicuous in his quarter column allu
sion to our correspondent "Hli.zard,"
in making no denial of tho latters' nl le
gations, and in attempting to divert
tho attontion of its readers from thoso
main points by discussing what tho
Advkutisku said before tho election.
Blizzard is tho fellow that's after you
Mr. Moore, in this particular case, and
tho position of tho editor of tho Ad
vkutisku, bofoio or since tho election,
doesn't in the least reliovo you from
tho facts, 1. That you woro pretending
to support two opposing candidates
for clork at tiio same time. 2. That
tho successful caudidato onco run you
off tho street into your hole for lying
about him. !1. That you aro now
peddling tho pictures of Garfield,
whom you denounced "beforo his olec
tion" as a bribetaker and perjuror,
leaving tho logical deduction that you
woro a malicious liar then or a fawning
hypocrite now. What we eaid boforo
tho election wo still say; and tho Ad
vkutisku was novor known to go lick
spittling around trying to court favor
with every party, as tho Orunyer al
wavs does.

Anothor From "Prudontia."
fTIm following comtminlcntlnn wna
ro
ruot lvoil too lute lor our lnnt Ihhuo.
Tho anthropophagus of tho Granger
now calls mo cowaidly and gives as his
reason therefor that 1 sign myself and
am only known to him as "Prudontia,"
thus plainly indicating Unit in tho
misty legions of his cranium, prudonco
and cowardice aro synonymous tormB.
This 1 am soiry to learn, as it discovers
tho fact that his moral ideas aro in as
highly a mixed up condition as his po
litical conduct has been. And in like
manner, perhaps, if put to tho test,
would arguo that politics, principlo
and policy mean tho same thing.
Ho certainly feels the force of my
commentary on his self-conceited edi
torial, and like an onraged elephant
with a proboscis full of dirty water, is
hoizod with an insane desire tc sipiir. it
all over somebody, but finding no opo
in sight, becomes furious and can only
recover his equanimity by relapsing in
to his old habit of praising and exalting
himself or trying to make out that ho
has discovered some ono else doing so.
I seo no valid reason why ho should
bo so uneasy about my anonymity. Tho
truth of my statements aro not affected
by tho fact of my name being unknown
to him. Had I assaulted his private
character and signed an anonymous
name, ho might with some reason havo
called mv conduct in question on tho
ground that a criminal has a constitu
tional right to lie confronted with tho
witnesses against hint.
But it seems to mo thai in tho pres
ent instance ho lias no cause to .call mo
cowardly on this account, unless I
have gone bevond tho limits of a fair
criticism of his languago and conduct
as a quasi public character. Ho will
havo suflleient to employ himself with
if ho confines his attention merely to
tho truth of my strictures, without
manifesting any undue desiro to dis
cover tho author. I certainly havo no
desire to slander his private character,
for that might provo a task beyond tho
scope of my Unite ability.
Bro. Moore now states in his issue of
Dec. lid, that I havo adopted the credit
system and "havo given him moro credit
than ho over thought of claiming, and
more than I in tended to givo." Now I
propose to show him that I do a cash
business, and while in my senses shall
lot no goods out on "tick" to custuiners
of his class. All 1 wisti to givo mm
credit for, is the fact that in plain
languago ho claims as his own all that
ho now says I havo given him credit
for. Quoting from ids articlo Nov. 18:
Firstly. "Tho Honubliean papers aro
obnoxious to tho people, or tho Granger
has moro influence than thoso four pa
pers combined." Why? Because "tho
candidates on tho people's ticket were
supported by only ono paper, tho
Granger, which worked without party
organization, not oven a committee of
any kind." Secondly, "tho victory was
not so completo as we wished, but it
will do for the present. Tho people
alone aro to blamo for McKinnoy's de
feat." And thirdly, "tho Granger will
tight tho people's battles, asking in re
turn only that the people who aro thus
served will," in short, subscribe.
What does Bro. Moore mean by all
this languago? I hope I'm not unfair
in saying that in tho first lie ho claims
il
in
the county, four to one, as proved
tho recent election.
In tho second, that he has "licked"
somebody and that ho would havo
"cleaned tho platter" if tho dear peoolo
hadn't "skipped a cog" in his machine.
And thirdly, ho claims to bo tho chief
pugilist and lighter for tho crowd of
his imaginary backers, whom ho is
pleased to dub "tho people." Ono can
hardly help admiring tho sublimity and
colossal proportions of this egotism;
but Mooro is still unsatisllcd; his cup
of joy is not yet full; tho rubicon is
yet beyond and must, bo crossed. And
how? Willie tho above quoted boast
ings aro yot warm in his mind, and
while in his imagination ho is still at
the head of his phantom forces, ho
breaks out in tho following strain:
"Wo respectfully ask tho Hon. Church
Howo if ho has heard who swept old
Nemaha at the recent election ?" This
is a rhetorical question, and tho rule is
that it must bo answered to suit tho
ploasuro of tho speaker, and hence if
Mr. Howo should answer as Mooro
wants him to. ho would, in tho light of
tho above questions bo compelled to
admit that it was tho editor of tho
Granger "that did it with his little
hatchet." It was this compulsory view
of tho caso that led me, perhaps inad
vertantly, to remark in substance, that
in tho mind of Geo. B. Mooro, tho most
prominent actors in the recent election
were tho fighting editor in chief and
Mr. Howe, and tho battle was waged
between thorn. Whereupon said editor
turns around and says I havo given
him "credit for it," and seems to hold
that becauso I havo quoted his lan
guage, I havo thereby become a sub
scriber to and a jutrticeiM vrlminis in
his views concerning his own self-im-portnnco.
I shall not complain, for
such is tlio nalnio of genuine egotism,
and more especially that of this editor.
Like Sitting Bull, every time ho and
his camp followers perpetrate a partic
ularly mean trick, ho calls it "lighting
battles," and nothing on earth can pro
vent him from making a war dance in
order to havo an opportunity to show
Hp his paint and trophies and take oc
casion to display in hideous contortions
his nattual and intuitu ugliness.
Ho now claims that wo acknowledge
his smartness in running oil with tho
people Instead of "leading them off."
Bro. Mooro, that is your only alterna
tive. If you should try to "head off"
tho people, you would bo in tho fix of
tho man who tried to muddle with a
young calf belonging to a rather high
tempered cow. Sho got right after him.
Ho lit out. Sho gavo chase and waa
industriously polishing her horns on
tho setting down portion of his trow
sors, whilo ho How up stroot, his legs
looking liko tho spokes in a fly-wheol,
anxiously yelling won't somebody
"head us off." A man of your politi
cal principles couldn't "head off" any
thing, not ovon an old cow, becauso an
empty sack cannot support itself unless
it has a prop of some kind. And one
who stands roady to sacrillco his party
to gratify ovory temporary whim,
hasn't tho stability necessary for a
loader nor the (li mness and solf-abnega-tion
essential to tho character of a
martyr.
With all duo regard I subscribe my
self "PltUDKNTIA."
