Surveyor General Cunningham is a
philosopher in his way. He says, "Why

port Grant, when Grant supports us?"
l'it-for-tat, you know. Watchman, Sep
tember 3d.
Every citizen in Plattstnouth at all ac
quainted with Gen. Cunningham knows
this statement to be untrue, and coined
in the brain of the dirty loafer who
wrote it. Gen. Cunningham is a mem
ber of the Congregational Church here,
in good standing. We call upon the
Christian community of this city to tell
whether they endorse such slanders, and
desire that they should go abroad and be
quoted as the sayings of decent Christ
ian citizens of Plattsmouth.
NO. 2.
11 E. Cunningham has been industri
ously at work building breastworks of
deiucct parties behind which to screen
himself from the shot and shell of the
Omaha Herald. He has not vindicated
binself, but claims that because frauds
were perpetrated, as he states, by other
I J. b. olhcers why shouldn t he be al
lowed such nice little perquistes and do
likewise. In other word:, if rascalities
and swindling are permissible, why
should the people demur to his claims to
rascality. (J temporal (J mores ! jo

Citizens of Plattsmouth, you have
seen the men. Which would you be
lieve under oath, Gch. Cunningham or
the writer of that article ?
THE FACT3.
Gen. Cunningham never set up such
a claim, as any fool knows ; on the con
trary he has, and we have, dared the
proof from A. L. Brown, the Omaha
Herald, or this ill-be-gotten vampire to
show that Cunningham ever obtained
one dollar iraudulcntly. J. hey never
have given a shadow of proof that he
has, and we dare theni to do so,
no. 3.
While Mr. E. E. Cunningham is so
prominently mentioned by the newspa
pers of the State in connection with the
surveying frauds, it will perhaps be in
terestins to know that he was arrested
some time during the war and taken to
Omaha, where he was tried for the of
fense of jay-hawking, or in other word
horse stealing.
This is from the Statesman, re-hashed
by the "Perhaps." - Please observo the
i . i
language, gentlemen, "surveying
frauds." There is not one particle of
proof yet on the table to show that there
are any "surveying frauds" aLall
Mr. Back says there are, Mr. Francis
says there are not. Meanwhile Survey
or General Cunningham has sent a per
son out to examine the surveys, and Mr.
Royal Buck will be invited to attend.
If fraud is shown, Mr. Geo. Fairfield,
the surveyor, will have to re-survey the
ground and make the surveys good, or
be prosecuted on bis bonds. Mr. Fair-
field is from Plattsmouth, was introduced
to and recommended to General Cun
ningham by citizens of Plattsmouth as a
surveyor, and citizens of Plattsmouth
arc on his bonds.

Messrs. Clark and Evans jointly sign
ed a note published in last night's JJer

John L. Clark, you know as well as

The ownership of the Herald, and
the writers for it arc as much the private

' . again,
Gen. Cunningham has a character to
maintain, and a business reputation at
stake in this matter There ii not a
shadow of. proof against tho man ; not
an io&of evidence that the most igno
rant person could dare take up and use
in any way but as mean and contempti
ble newspaper charges. He walks your
streets daily, and you have a chance to
know him. lias he been a just, liberal
and kind man or has he not? Is he a
street brawler, a liar or a thief? Has he
minded his own business and passed on
his way with a christian forbearance wor
thy of praise, or has he not ? Answer
these questions, and then look at the
character of the party making these as
saults. Which choose you as citizens of
Plattsmouth? How long do you mean
to support such wholesale slanders on a
man and a gentleman who has come to
live among you, by a parly who never
was a citizen of Nebraska ; who never
owned a dollar of property and never
paid a cent of tax in his life? For the
credit of your city and your business men
we ask Mr. Clark and all ethers who sup
port this thing, to take into considora
tion the fact that other men have char
acters; other men have wives, and other
men have business interests and reputa
tions at stake as well as themselves, and
that the faat of a nians being either an
Editor or a U. S. Government officer
does not make him public prcpert-, only
as to his public acts.

Chicago, Alton and St. .Louis uailroad.
Ed. was married only a few weeks ago.
His wile had been wearing a piece of red
flannel round her neck for the last ten
days, and complaining of a wry neck.
luis is how it come to pass
Ed. had just been doing extra duty,
taking a sick friend's train in addition to
his own, and so had not been in bed for
forty-eight hours. As a matter of course
he was very nearly worn out, and as soon
as his supper had been eaten he went to
bed to sleep, perchance to dream.
There was the rub, as the event proved.
He was soon locked in the arms of Mor
pheus and Alary, and dreaming. Again
his foot was on his native platform, and
he heard the warning toot of the whistle
for brakes, and with a fierce joy he
slammed the car door with a crash like
that of a rark artillery
The shadowy train b'oro him swiftly
on ; the telegraph poles fleeted past
quicker ; the whole country fled by like
a panorama mounted on sheet lightnin
rollers. In his dream he heard far off
another roar, and swinging out by the
railings, he saw another train coming at
lightning speed round the curve, .both
trains were loaded with passengers ; in
another moment they would rush togeth
er, and from the piles of ruin a cry of
agony would shiver to the tingling stars
from the hps of the maimed and dying,
The engineer had seen their danger, for
at that moment, in Li? dream, he heard
the whistle calling for brakes sound loud
and unearthly. With the strength of
desperation ho gripped the break and
turned it down. There was a yell of
pain, and Ed. wokc to find himself sit
ting up in bed and holding his wife by
the cars, having almost twisted off her
head.
That's how L'd's wife came to wear a
piece of red flannel around her throat
and complain of a wry neck. Missouri

Greeley's Tartnsrsiiip VTith Twsei
A curious incident has been brought
up during the week, which, though tri
fling it be, helps to confirm what we
have more than once said, a3 to the great
source of danger in letting Mr. Greeley
into the Presidency his weakness with
regard to his friends. He lias been ae
cused frequently uuiing tne past mx
months of having gone into a company
for the manufacture of tobacco, within
the past year, with Bill Tweed and other
members of tho King. Now, he abhors
tobacco, and preaches against it vigor
ou?ly, almost as vigorously a3 against
aleoholis drinks. He has also denounced
Tom. Mrrphy severely forgoing into real
estate speculations with Bill Tweed and
his kind :
Consequent', when we are told, and
told truly, that he has himself been con
cerned with them in a cigar enterprise,
it seems on the surface as if ho were a
dreadfully wicked and deceitful old fel
low. But the truth seems to be that, in
this as in so many other cases, he is sim
ply weak.
A Mr. Charles C. Eaton writes to the
Tribune, declaring that Mr. Greelev
went int0 the tobacco business, or rather
cnt hLj name for use in itt sim,y t0
"oblige a friend" who had neither credit
nor money, and had, or thought he had
got hold of a good cigar-machine. In
our opinion, the number of needy
"friends" who would be found in Wash
ington during Mr. Greeley's administra
tion would be more than the nation could
stand, unless the population and resour
ccs grew more rapidly than they do now

Horace Greeley en the Tempe.arca Ques
tion.
We have been told time and again in
Plattsmouth that Greeley was not a tem
perance man, never advocated the Maine
lasv, and all such stuff. The Omaha
JJerald but the other day, to cafch the
tcmperanco vote, acknowledged that he
teas and always had been in favor ot
strict prohibitory laws Better evidence
can be obtained from his own paper.
We quote from the New York Tribune
of January 10, 1872:
The License act which has just pas?ed
the Legislature of Illinois is remarkably
stringer t,
Its leading provisions are as
ioiiows :
r it
1. No selling without a license,
2. No license until the applicant shall
have given a bond for fc3O00, with two
freeholders as sureties, that he will pay
all damages which any one may suffer.
by reason of his selling.
3. Suit to be brought in behalf of the
State against any seller of liquor where
by injury is inflicted whatever sum may
be recovered to be apportioned for the
redress of such injury.
If this act shall be faithfully enforced
as why should it not be ? it must shut
UP tne lower stratum of -rog.-hops and
saloons, restricting the li.tuor traffic to
dealers who would be constrained by pe
cuniary interest to say nothing of mor
al principle to sell circumspectly, cau
tiously. IN o one licensed under this act
could afford to sell to a tippler or a mi
nor; few would take tho risk of selling
to a good fellow who was trotting
down the road to t uin at a 2:40 gait. Of
course, we unaerstana tn oniectiOH ot

any form of license ; yet wc counsel the
teuineranco men or Illinois to give this
act a fair trial by aiding its enforcement.

TAZ3 ITOTICST
Mr Editor : We notice In your pa
per of Saturday, the following:
Mr. John R. Clark, the Liberal can
didate for State Auditor, a respon
sible and respectable citizen of Platts
mouth, Cashierof the Old Bank and also
of the New National Bank, of Platts
mouth, we are credibly informed, stated
recently, in the presence of several citi
zens of -Plattsmouth, that "he (Clark)
knew, and that Thos. Evans knew that
A. L. Brown received money from Depu
ty Surveyors on account of contracts,
while Chief Clerk under Gen. Livings
ton." In regard to be above, to say the
least, some one is, mistaken, as we pub
licly declare that we never knew of a
dollar being "paid A. L. Brown, or any
ond else, connected with the Surveyor
General's office, by Deputy Surveyor?,
on account of contracts, and never made
statements to that effect.
Jno. R. Clark,
Thos. W. Evans.
comments by the herald.
We have been waited on by Mr. Clark,
with the request that we would publish
the above, which we do with pleas
ure, as far as the gentlemen whose
names are signed to the denial are con
cerned they taking the responsibility of
such denial. We would call attention
to the fact that there is no denial that
the party named received money from
Deputy Surveyors, and the sole and sim
ple difference is, that they do not and
did not know that he received said mofi
ey from Deputy surveyors on account
of Surveying contracts." It is a "dis
tinction without a difference."
The article in question, "Come Into
Court," was written in our absence ; but
from information furnished the editor of
this paper by other partie., outside of
the First National Bank of
Plattsmouth. It would have been used
sooner or later, and probably if tho ed
itor himself had written it the names of
any Bank officers would have been left
out as we dislike very much to bring
any man's name into print against his
knowledge and consent, even to nail a
lie but the facts remain the same.
Mr. John Clark, as far as we know,
is above reproach. As a citizen of
Plattsmouth, be stands high.
There was no intention to bring Mr.
Clark before the public. It is a simple
statement that Mr. Clark knew certain
facts, which we were assured he did, by
responsible person, and the fact of such
knowledge in no way reflects on his char
acter as a banker. The article was not
written upon information furnished by
him or Mr. Evans, nor by Gen'l Cun
ningham. We never spoke to Gen'l
Cunningham about the matter until yes
terday, and if he received such informa
tion from any other person he received
it as a bank Uircctor, mmseit, and as
such, had a right to receive it.-
We hereby exonerate any Bank officer
or any person connected directly with
the Bank from furnishing any improper
information to us, of any kind. As to
the facts contained in that article, they
will be substantiated in due time and at
the proper phce. Our informant may
be laboring under a mistake as to the
exact knowledge these gentlemen have,
but "our case" is just as strong and will
be proven, we hope, without calling up
on them or even mentioning their names
again in this connection.
for ourselves
we nave to say. we aia not oegin tuis
war, it is not of our making. Wc enter
ed upon tho editorship of . this paper
with but a slight acquaintance with
Gen'l C. and none at all with the other
gentlemen who ha?e from time to time
appeared therein.
An ignorant, blundering charge was
made by the Omaha Herald regarding
surveying contracts. c exposed its
folly'and the animus, which was not to
prevent corruption, not to obtain better
surveys, but to make political capital
and to throw discredit on tho whole
Republican parly on the eve of a gener
al election. That was the first object,
the next, to injure Geu'l Cunningham
and Senator Hitchcock, personally.
The Liberal party which professes to
have monopolized all the pure men of
the country, and whose battle cry is "Re
form," must bear in mind that they who
come intc a court of equity are expected
to have clean hands, thsmselves," and
that be who turns informer must have a
reasonably clear record of hi3 own acts,
before he can induce the world to believe
that he is actuated by strict motives of
integrity and a pure love of justice, while
hounding his neighbors on to the death.
Wc are of the opinion that these par
ties can have neither clean hands, nor
honest hearts, and it is not for General
Cunningham, nor yet for Senator Hitch
cock's sake that wo would enter upon
such a controversy, but it is for the sake
of the party we represent, and upon
whose banners we hope to inscribe.
' 'pure motives, honest men, and upright
. -1 r
actions, not mean low revueings oi our
opponents, and a general hurling of epi
thets against every man who opposes our
party, as this Liberal-Democratic outfit
is now ioing.
-HOES E7-G0HES.
Certain parties here and elsewhere
stoutly declare that Greeley never advo
cated Temperance. Did any one ever
see such a farce as this campaign. The
pure and incorruptible second edition of
Lindley Murray and Noah Webster
combined, keeps half a column of stand
ing matter which he calls Henry Wil
son's speeches about foreigners, and
makes a great "to do" of the fact
that Henry Wilson was a member of the
Know-Nothing party. Long ago we
stated in this paper and to individuals
that Horace Gree'cy had belonged to the
same order in days gone by. As usual,
the opposition were arrogant and boast
fully sure he was not. Having the great
Morton (?) to back them up, and not
having the proof at hand we said no
more just then. Since then we have ex
amined files of the New York Tribune,
and they can be produced, filled with
the bitterest tirades against Foreigners.
Germans and IrUh have to take it worse
than ever they do in Henry Wilson's
"made up" speeches. . In fact we begin
to think that those speeches were clipped
from old files of the Tribune and fath
ered on Wi'son they sound so much
like the articles there against the Irish
and Catholics.
To crown all, in a a reliable exchange
we come across the following morceau,
bearing on this point:
"The fact that Horace Greeley was a
Know-Nothing when the secret Know
Nothing party was first organized, is so
well known that he has never dared to
deny it over his own signature. It is
true that Greeley partly redeemed him
self in 1853-4 by denouncing Know
Nothingism as a political movement, but
ha never has publicly or privately de
nied that he lavored the movement as
first secrctli organized against the Catho
lics ! Ire dare not do it as records are to
day extant which bear his signature as
Grand 1 atnarch of the order.
flow are you, Grand Patriarch ? at
first secretly organized against the Cath
olics. How's that for "proscription?"
Personally, we care nothing about the
matter, and we do not believe the great
American people care one snap in this
issue whether one or both these men
were "Knotf-Nothings," but we do care
to prove our word and we know of our
own knowledge about matters in the
New York newspaper world, that Hor
ace Greeley was always considered as fa
voring that party, and aided in its in
ception and towards its support.
