When in t lie economy of Providence, thU
land was to be purged of human slavery, and
w lien tlie strength of the government of the
people, by tlie people, for tlie people, was to be
Oe.n.nislialeii. Hie Kepiibliciiu naity Came, into

their memories and high aims for the o"f
our country and mankind, and io iAinji to tiie
fit lire .itli iintaileriie; courage, none and pur
pose, we. the representatives oi ilie tlie party,
ii national convention asscmbied, make tin
following iei-l;ii alioil of pri!..np!e.s :
1. '1 he t' lilted States t Aiut-iioa i. a nation.
Hiii a league. By tile coiuhiuea wo. i.inas of ti e
X.dionai and State (iovernnients, under th.'ir
rur.peetivij const iiutions, the rt-ilus 01 every en -;:t-u
are secured at iiome and i'i"te. ted abroa'.l.
and i common weliare piomoti'd.
j:. 1'lie Keputilican party iias preserved those
trovt ri.inei.ts to the hundredth anniversary of
toe u.itioii's birth, -tiui they are now tlie em
bodiments of tin; ".rent trui iis spoken at its cra
dle : 'that ail men were created ei;ua! ; that
tiiey were ciuliiwed by their Creator with cer
tain inareuable riiits, among which are lite,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that tor
tlie at tainment of these ends governments have
bi en instituted an.on men, deriving tiieir just
powers lroiu the consent of tlie Governed. I n
L 1 1 those truths are cheerfully obeyed or. if
needed .to be, vigorously eulorced, "the work
of tie Bepiib! ieali parly is iit'fiuished.
a. I lie 'leiiiiaiieiit p.ieilicaiion of tlie South
em section of tiie luion, and tlie complete tuo
tection oi its ciiieiis in the enjoyment of all
their rights, ar j tutirs to w hich tl.c Kpi:blican

b.tie.i in :vce-it ciu:ii,,, a tonal ame'iidniei.ts
is v. t'-'l by t!.o.-:e amemluietits in tiie Coiiirress

solemn oliliati m of the legislative and execu
t'e ttcptiiiinciHs of tiie iov eminent to pal into
immediate and vigorous exercise ail their coh
.stinitional powers lor removing any just cans .;s
of discontent on the part of au e.;s. and se

iC M'cuili e wiiosc com a.m and tidelily lo llic.se
uinies shall not faiter until these results are
placed l.evond dispute or recall.
4. i a tiie Hi st io l of con;i cs signed by Pres
ident (ir.iiit, Ihe National lioveriioieut assum
ed lo remove any doubts oi us duty to dis
charge all just obligations to public creditors,
and solemnly pledged itstaiili to make 1'iovis

redemption of L'nited fStatts notes m coin.
Cominercial prosjierity, public murals and na
tional credit demand mat this promise bo ful
filled by a continuous and .steady plotless lo
pcce payments.
5. L niter ttie constitution, the President and
heads of deiiailuients are lo make nominations
for uHietv tiie Senate is to adv ise anil lo consent
to appoint incuts, and the House oi ltepresenta
tives is to accuse and prosecute faiihlcss olli
cers. The best interests of the public service
demand thai these distinctions be respected ;
that Senatois and i:enesentative who may be
judges and accusers should not dictate appoint
ment lo ol'ice. '1 he invariable rule lor ap
pointments should have rc!e'ence t the hon
esty, fidelity and capacity of the. appointee, tiv
ing to the part in power those places w iiere
harmony and viitor of administration requiies
its policy to be represented, but peri. lilting ail
others to be filled by persons selected witn sole
reference to the efiiijiehcy of tiie public set vice
and the right of all citizens to share in tiie honor
of rendering faithful service to their country.
t. We rejoice in the quickened conscience of
the people co. teeming political affairs, and will
hold all public otliceis to a rigid icsponsibility,
ami cngace tiiat tiie prosecution and punish
ment oi ail who betray official trust shall be
speedy, thorough and unsparing.
V. The pub.ie school system of the several States
is tlie bulwark of tlie American Republic. and
with a view to its security and periiiuiiauee, we
recommend an amendment to tlie constitution
of tlie Limed Stales forbidding the application
of any public fund or prooperty for the benefit
of any school or institutions under sectarian
control.
8. Tlie revenue necessary for current expen
ditures and the obligations of the public debt
must be largely derived from duties ou impor
tations which, "so fas as possible, should be ad-
ustcd to promote tlie interests of American la
or and advance the prosperity of tlie whole
country.
J. e reaffirm our opposition to further
grants of the public land to corporations and
monopolies, and demand that the national do
main be devoted to lice homes lor tiie people.

J. A. MacMcrpiit, Sec.
A strancce and unusual condition of
affairs occurred in the Treasury depart
ment on Monday last. There was no
Secretary of the Treasury, no Treasur
er, nor assistant Treasurer, consequent
ly not an officer in the department un
der whose authority any money could
be expended. Secretary Ncw's resigna
tion had been accepted and gone into
effect, and Morrill had not yet been
qualified, Conant had been tilling liris
tows place for ten days and the law
provides no longer for an acting ap
pointment. Wyman had his bonds in
every respect regular exept that they
required the approval of the Sesretary
of the Treasury, and there being no
such officer he could not be qualified.
Gilfillian, the newly appointed assist
ant Treasurer had not yet received his
commission; The matter was finally
adjusted by the amendment of tlie Pres
ident's acceptance of Treas. New's re
signation so that it shCuld not take ef
fect until after his successor had qualified.
CAMPAIGN RATES.
Already we have taken in a feto hew
subscribers on our campaign offer, and
we hope to have them corno in still
faster in tho next two or three weeks.

F0URTH OF JULY FOREVER!
15 EATS A XY OTH Ell DAY
ONLY COMES ONCE A YEAR
AND THIS ONE ONLY ONCE A
CENTURY ! I
Just TThat Wo DidHow We Did It
And YY here We Are Now I
The day opened cool and cloudy, just
the best kind of a 4th day. The band
was on hand at an early hour and gave
us a taste of their music.
BKFORE THIS,
however, and before it was day, the
bells had been set ringing merrily, and
one hundred big guns had been shot off
from the hill, so that but few people in
Plattsmouth got much sleep after 1 p
m., on the morning of July 4th, 187G.
At nine o'clock groups of citizens be
gan to assemble on Maiu St. Thv red
shirts of the firemen made the streets
gay, and the tinkle, tinkle of Hie tire
engine bell was heard. The Pioneer's
Association, with a (lag and iwmiaut,
and numbers of reverend, grave and po
tent seig".ors, with white badges, gath
ered round the front door of tlie court
housa ready for a nvvvo.. .- .
Good locking men, iiif wri-Luiis
red and blue sashes and white belts,
mounted on magnificent chargers,
which snorted and- pranced up and
dvn the streets, and dashed through
alleys and bye-ways, rallied the slug
gards and formed the ranks.
THE IKA!; CIIIMMtKX
in pure "Abite; bvgan to gather on the
corner of Cth and Main, under their
teachers and guardians for the day. and
at 10 o'clock prompt, the j.rroeesion
was ready.
ORDER OF MARCH.
Band of Music. Then the Pioneers
of Cass County, some fifty in number.
Next the Sunday Schools, then mount
ed men in twos, about a hundred strong.
The LTnion Fire Department consist
ing of Engine Co. and Truck and Lad
der Co. and a long train of carriages
and wagons from the surrounding
county, making the procession fully
a mile long.
THEY FORMED
On Main street, passed up Sixth street
to Vine, down Vine street to Third,
back to Main street and so through
Main street again to Sixth, and up to
the grounds in the grove west of Geo.
Smith's at the head of Sixth street.
When thd band had reached the grove
the end of the procession had not left
Main street yet.
so so!
The band was a fine one from Iowa,
and gave us good music cheerfully and
pleasantly whenever called for through
out the day. The old pioneers looked
solemn and happy all in a minute. Sol
emn to think they had come here so
early and lived so long as to see-this
great day,, and happy to know they
would be more than even with the rest
of the crowd as very few of them ever
could hope to see another Centennial.
The handsomest siglit was the Sun
day School children in twos, little tod
dlers some of them and all so happy
and so proud they looked as if they
knew all about it and each meant to
found a new country and another 4th
of July themselves some day, if for
tune favored.
The Firemen of course were gallant,
they always are. The red shirts em
bierriatfcal of the warm hearts in their
breasts, and the blue ones of the true
blue patriotism and courage which
stands them ih need in time of danger.
The people in the wagons and carriag
es were the best looking in Cass coun
ty, and all seemed bent oh enjoying
the day to the utmost that wind and
weather would permit.
... AT THE OROUXD
Gen. Cunningham acted-"as President
of the day, and the Rev. Mr. Orr, open-
ed the exercises with divine blessing.
Jno.'A. MacMurphy read the Declara
tion of Independence, and the Hon. G.
S. Smith was the orator of the day, an
honor he probably will never again en
joy unless providence should greatly
lengthen out his years, or grant a parr
tlculaf dispensation to the Geo. Smith
family. .
THE CHOIR
gave us some excellent music under
the lead of Messrs. Pettee and Marsland
assisted by Mrs. White and Pettee, and
Mis3 Butterfield, Miss Dakin, jliss
Sheltoh and" Mr. Lewis, among other
choice pieces singing
"THE CENTENNIAL HYMX,

Dr. Childs read abot:t an hour more,
giving a very interesting and useful
description of tho early, daya aud inci

country west of the. Missouri.
SOME MORI". MCSir,
and then the games and amusements.
First foot-race, for prize of f 3, won

Wheelbarrow race for same, 'dm

After this we had "America," by the
choir, some more instrumental miinic

SHORT SPEECHES
by Judge Sprague, Dr. Livingston, lion.
Sam. M. Chapman, all of which wore
highly applauded. They were very
happy in their remarks,-and when it
wa.ill oyer we all knew that it was
about one hundred years ago since this
UL of July business commenced to be
gin to bo held.
j: VEXING.
The company now . adjourned to tho
town, where a display of fireworks
from High School hiil, and the illumi
nation of thv.' High School building
added to the natural display Above,
made a very light and lively evening
of it.
THE BALL
in Fitgerald Hall still later was well '
attended, and the fire boys remriined
happy.
AT INTERVALS
the great gun on the hill belched forth
a welcome to the annireusaiy of our
100th Independence day, and shook the
plastering all oil; the Herald house
walls. We have a grudge "agin" that
gun. A. ""lUircl, Capt.t Harvey Sage
and W rf . NeVio; b? 'gtinners.
Great credit isdt'fe Mn Johnson, Mr.
Cutler ami Jos. Ocnnorr Marshals of
the day, for keeping" ovtr-ythhiiy in or-
der, and aiding very largely' towards
making everything pass off pleasantly,
THE OLENWOOD CORNET BAND
also played for the ball and gavewttis-
faction. Mr: Rockwell is the leader,
and the other members are

F. II. Smith,
Ji. F. Jones,
Reid Farrar,
J. P. Jackson,
O. V. Ryers,
J. M. Smith.
Carl Head,
T. G. Dyers. ,
Altogether, we have never had ao
pleasant a 4th, nor so large a turn out.
We believe and feel that the people still
cherish the remembrance of the grand
old deeds of their Fathers, and value
the eternal blessings of sweet Liberty.
Not license, but that true, real liberty,
that grants to each and every one all
his rights under the law, without re
gard to race, sex, color, or condition of
life.
Long live America, the land of tho
freel! And long live the gallant
folks of Cass, that helped to make this
Centennial a success, and long to be
remembered in the annals of future
history.
