The Republican Contention.
We are very happy to state that the
Republican convention at Weeping
Water last Saturday passed off very
pleasantly, and very agreeably to most
of the real old-fashioned Republicans
of this county, and some youngsters,
and discontented people learned who
and what the Republican party in this
county in really composed of.
It was supposed by many that the
convention would end in a row, and a
disorganization of the party, and many
schemes and plots were laid for futuie
aggrandizement, bused on this view.-
All these fine schemes are laid low for
ever, we hope, and once more the party
in its pristine purity, its real strength
can stand forth and defy all opposi
tion.
xi is not possible to please all per
sons in making nominations from a
number of equally good men, and it
seemed as if our candidates grew, as
our votes diminished lately. When
such is the case every man that ca'.ls
himself a true republican must put
aside hi3 personal preferences, his per
sonal grievances, however just they
may be, and work honestly and har
moniously to one end mutual success,
Personal spites, petty feuds, little in
glorious revenges, have decimated our
ranks and disgusted honest men and
voters until our former majorities
were dwindling to a myth. .Now we
can unite, at least all the best element
can unite, every honest man can con
scientiously vote this ticket. It is
people's ticket. It is an honest man's
ticket; it is a true Republican ticket.
and all that is needed to cairy it, is
honest, unflagging determination,
square work, and the votes. AVe have
them if they will come out and vote,
and' let it bo the duty of every man in
that convention to see that his neigh
borhood understands the issues, that
they are alive, that they feel right, and
that they will and must com out on
the 7tb day of November next and
vote. That's all we ask that's all we
need to insure victory.
A Little About Myself.
Not much, I haven't time; the
Fair and changes in the office have
cut short the sinice, and employed me
otherwise so that many things I had
intended to say are left unsaid; this
much I must say in earnest. It is sup
posed by many that the ught here is
purely a personal one between myself
and Daniel II. Wheeler, to see who
shall be the .candidate of this county
for the office of Secretary of State.
This is not true, and is only a por
tion of the difficulty, I want to say-
now, that I have no ill feeliug to Mr.
Wheeler.no personal quarrel to avenge.
Life is too short, and satisfaction in
this life and ths next too certain for
all wrong doing for any sensible man
to entertain a system of revenges po
litically. No man or set of men can
be untrue to the people long nor do-
fraud their constituents and lie and
cheat and put up jobs in politics any
length of time and not get found out
iinu tne uistory or mis ngnt yunco
the truth of this. I can leave to time
and the future all vindication of my
character and my purposes.
The "nsrht" here, as it has been call
ed, was not mv fisht alone, was not a
personal matter, it was for the people
of the county, for the very life of the
Repnblican party and for the existence
of mv newspaper and nivself in the
County. For t: e people, that they
should not submit to dictation any
longer, for the party, because I was
told over and over that if certain meas
ures were adopted, if certain men
came to Convention and tried to con
trol things, as before, the best Repub
licans in the county would vote some
other ticket than the Republican. Why,
I could have looked into the eyes of
twenty men in that convention who
had told me that unless the people
were allowed to control their own
nuiutuiittuiia duu tiicii political affairs
they would vote the democratic ticket.
In town they tried to crucify me be
tween two fires, while asking me to
support unpopular measures and men,
they had not manhood enough to stand
by me and give me their patronage,
and sympathy and support, but under
the guise of temperance and other side
issues they proposed to leave me to be
sacrificed and the best Republican pa
per they had in the County to be crush
ei out that a few men might still rule
and be the great I Am. It didn't
pan, and it wont if a man only leaves
his case to the honest people of this
country. The heart of the people is
richt their instincts are right and
in this case they stood by their own
cause not mine alone -manfully.
I hope the citizens of this town, the
politicians of this town have learned
a lesson. I have, if they have not
Hereafter, let u3 work and act togeth
er, let us build up the town and Coun
ty. Cease our eternal local strifes sim-
nlv for the aggrandizement of this
man and that man, this end of the
town or that, and work together for
the common good and it is the duty
an 1 right of every citizen to see that
the men that will not do this shall
not be elevated to power aud place
and privilege in this community.

God pity and help the poor fever
stricken sufferers of the south, for He
alone can do it! a temporary decrease
of the fever, followed the cool weath
er of last week, but the preseut warm
weather brings very nearly the same
number of cases, and among its vic
tims are the physicians and nurses who
have saved others heretofore, by their
untiring care and skill. Memphis, like
Grenada, sseiiis destined to bo almost
depopulated before the scourge leaves
it. Among the victims who went t
minister to the suffering, is Mrs J. M.
Clark, of Omaha. The fever seems to
be spnaling into the suburbs, and
with the force of nurses and physicians
constantly decreasing, the scene is be
yond description. Supplies are pour
ing in from every quarter, France hav
ing sent 60,000 as a first installment,

TnE Co. Commissioners met again
on Wednesday, and received a petition
from Weeping Water asking that a
new election be called on county-3eat
or ratuer: trie secona election,
claiming that there was fraud and il
legal voting in Plattsmouth, to the ex
tent of 150 votes. The Commissioners
siniDlv laid it on the table. AVe under
stand that this is only the first move
towards a law-suit to settle the matter
beyond cavil and dispute.

STATE SENATOR.
Orlando Tefft, of Avoca, tho Repub
lican nominee for State Senator, is a
man about 40 years of age, a farmer,
living in Avoca precinct, at the Post
Office of that name. He may have
said to have been brought up in Cass
Count', his father Amas Tefft, Esq i
being one of our oldest, most substan
tial and reliable citizens. Orlando is a
man of very great general information,
a great reaaer, and close student of
events. Modest and unassuming, he
has not pushed himself forward in
public nffairs, or his good strong com
mon sense and real intelligence would
have been felt in our political affairs
'ere this. If elected, he will make a
safe, honorable and able representa
tive of tho interests of the county.
representatives.
R. B. Windham. Is a young law
yer residing in Plattsmouth. He came
to Nebraska in 'G7, and cast his first
vote in this county. Mr. Windham
served as deputy County Clerk, for 3
years under Mr. Spurlock, then went
into the real estate business and finally
read law with Judge Maxwell aud
graduated at the Michigan University.
He has been practicing law five years
and is an industrious, energetic and
sound lawyer. Windham served one
campaign in the army m Tennessee,
under Gen. Washburn, although a mere
boy then. He was the unanimous
cliOice of the convention and will re
ceive a warm and cordial support from
the people.
Jno. F. Polk is one of the staunchest
men in Cass county. He was born in
North Carolina in 1830. His father.
R. II. Polk, moved- to Heniy County,
Indiana, in 1841, and John F. came to
Cass county in 1872, settling near
Glendale, where be has a fine farm.
Although a farmer now, Mr. Polk is a
college graduate , a fair classical schol
ar, and has made school-teaching his
vocation during many years of his life.
He is al?o a good civil engineer, and if
he don't know how to engineer his
way, it will not be for lack of educa
tion. He stands high in his neighbor
hood, and is every way qualified to fill
the position his friends ask for him.
Elder Isaac Stone, is a resident of
Greenwood precinct, about 61 years of
age, and by profession a minister of
the Baptist Church, although he is and
has teen a iarmer for some years.
Mr. Stone came here from Indiana; he
bears a most excellent reputation
among his neighbors, and his imme
diate friends who asked for his nomi
nation were the most enthusiastic men
we ever saw. If he runs as well out
side of the Convention as he did in, he
may count himself elected.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Samuel Richardson, of Eight Mile
Grove, was nominated for County
Commissioner, in the middle district.
He is a man of mature age, a strong,
conservative man of most excellent
character and judgment. lie is well
known in the county, having lived
here 17 years on the same farm, and
although active in public affairs, has
never been a candidate before. He
was a chair-maker in his early life, but
came to Cass county and settled on the
farm where he now lives. If the peo
ple really want public men of charac
ter to hold their offices, they should
encourage such men as Mr. Richardson
to eome forward and take part in pub.
lie affairs.
Taken all in all it is a good ticket, it
is well distributed over the county, the
men are sound, reliable men all through
and if ever a ticket was made by the
people, that ticket was. No charge of
ring, manipulation, or fraud can be
uade, and any Republican that won't
vote it now, will refuse from pure
cussedness, and because he don't want
to vote for Republicans at all. It
should receive the honest support of
every Republican in the county.
Weeping ATatcr Items.
The Lincoln association which met
here last week was somewhat embar
rassed by the absence of Rev. J. B.
Chase. Mr. Chase was chairman of
the Association, and at the time the
association decided to cotae here, act
ing . pastor of the Congregational
church. The association met to find
that Mr. Chase had leit though he bad
not left any one to attend to those du
ties which naturally devolved upon
him. However the association soon
organized and proceeded to business.
Among the delegates were Gates the
State agent; Collier, of Neb., City;
Gregory, of Lincoln ; Prof. Perry, of
Crete; Difinbacher and wife, of Lou

met here last Friday was decidedly
thin compared with tho fiepublican
convention on Saturday. It seems to
ma that tho majority of those attend
ing tho Greenback convention ought
to have gone to school more when they
were little boys.
The singing in the Methodist choir
has gieatly improved under the man
agement of R. S. Wilkinson a3 choris

The Congregational S. S. last Sun

A Disease That Shor.U be Properly In-
vestigali'U.
A correspondent from Plattsmouth,
says: l or about a year live or my
horses have been almost totally un
able to work, meanwhile discharging
freely at the nose. Thev have not
lost flesh, but prinrinallv. strength.
I am to'd they are suffering from gleet.
If you will, in your next weekly In
ter Ocean, give name and treatment of
the disease you will greatly oblige.
Reply To say the least, it looks
very suspicious to have five horses, in
habitants of the same stable, all suf
ienng with a nasal discharge of over
a years standing. .Nasal-gleet is not
a contagious disease, but the facts in
the case lead us to conclude that the
disease under consideration is conta
geous. and may possibly be glanders.
