Where
o'.es ?
is our opponent now for
Republicans, remember the Mass
Meeting on Saturday at Eight Mile
Grove.
But for factious opposition on the
floor of the Convention, Cass county
might have hail a candidate for a State
office to-day.
The State Wool Grower's Associa
tion met at Lincoln during the State
Fair and decided to hold a grand sheep
shearing at Kearney, in the spring at
such particular time and with such
regulations as the President, Hon. Mo
Bes Stocking, may hereafter direct. Suc
cess to the sheep-raisers.
At the Democratic Convention at
Worces'.er, Iass. Ben Butler's men
entered the hall and took possession
by force. The anti-Butler democrats
retired nnd will assemble at Faneuil
hall, the coming week from whence
they think old Ben cannot diivc them.
The mob rule of Butler's gang is going
to react and hurt his cause. It lool;3
now hs if conservative Republicans
and Democrats x-ill unite to put down
Kearnv-is:n and Butlei-isni.
HEETINU.
At ll?ht Mile Grore, on Saturday, Oct.
12tb, at 2 o'clock m.
The Republicans of Cass County are
requsted to assemble in mass meeting
at Eight Mi'.a Grove, on Saturday, Oct.
12th, 1878, for the purpose of opening
and inaugurating the campaign in this
county. It i3 desirable that every true
Republican turn out to help us to
ictory. J no. A. MacMurphy,
Ch'n Cent. Com.
The Democratic Convention at Lin
coln was a curious affair. A- synopsis
of the proceedings appears elsewhere.
Tire facts are the younger element of
the party just deliberately and with
malice afore-thought sat down on all
old chaps and say they mean to keep
them there. The soft money wing
won the day entirely, though we do
not believe they care one cent about
the money question in reality and as
soon as they can eliminate those they
oppose from power in the party, th
party as a party will return to its dog
mas on finance.
Y ICTORY I
Mr. MacMurphy, the candidate
from Cass did not get the nomina
tion, but was third on the list when
during the stampe.lo for Alexander
the delegation from Cass asked him
to withdraw. The result shows now
that had ho held o.i one more ballot
he could have ben nominated. A
number c.f personal friends would
have voted for Mr. MacMurphy on
the third ballot, and he had already
tnoujh to have prevented a nomina
tion on that ballot had ho not with
drawn rather ag dnst his better judg
ment. Of the light made on him
from Cass county when on the floor of
the Hojsc, we shall speak hereafter.
DELATED.
Of course wo arc late thi3 week:
The publication of the tax list
turned out much larger than
we or toe .treasurer expected, ana
although we have three extra hands
and have crowded everything, it will
s'.illbe Saturday before all the paper
goe3 to mail. Any extended notice
of the convention, all comments on
its course, the platform, notice of
home politics, candidates, all person
al and local notices, correspondence,
fcc., must be excluded uutil next
week. We did hope that when our
electioa was postponed until Novera
bar we would have some chance in
the fall for notice of fairs, and pub
lishing of tax list before the cam
paign op&ned, but tha Legislature
also changed the time of bnd sales
to November and everything comes
together again. This year all in two
week's jtymft- Nest week we shall
discus th.: platform and convention
roceocUnjjs 2-ore fully. ''
THE STATE CONVENTION.
Exciting1 Sessions Tuesday and Wednes
day Many Double Headers The
Fall Ticket Nominated Glo
rious Work.
The Republican State Convention
met in the Opera House, Lincoln, on
Tuesday to nominate a full state tick
et. There were about three hundred
delegates in town and many visitors,
and the hour3 preceding the opening
of the convention were occupied by
the crowds at the Commercial House
in discussing the merits of prospective
candidates and the peculiar features of
the situation. All agreed however in
one respect, namely, that the conven
tion would consume considerable time
in finishing its work.
TIIE CONVENTION
opened shortly after 3 o'clock, when J.
W. Dawes, Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, called the meeting to
order. Judge M. L. Hay ward, of Otoe
county, was unanimously elected tem
porary chairman, C. F, Goodman, of
Douglas, temporary secretary, and Geo.
Brooks, of Knox county, assistant sec
retarv. The committee on credentials was
appointed as follows:
First District A. II. Babcock, of
Pawnee county.
Second J. II. Stull. of Nemaha.
Third J. C. Laughlin, of Burt.
Fourth C. L. Lewis, of Seward.
Fifth J. II. McCall, of Dawson.
Sixth J. B. Barnes, of Dixon.
At Large Sam Chapman, of Platts
mouth. Mr. Hascall made a statement in re
gard to the double-header from Doug
las County, and asked that the commit
tee explain who the contestants are
from Douglas County. The chairman
stated that the committee had been di
rected to leave the whole matter to the
Convention.
During the evening session a number
of contests and several Counties were
settled by the Convention, and the or
ganization of the body was made per
manent. In the contest of the Doug
las County factions Mr. Connell and
Mr. Thurston carried on the argument
and theresult was that after a bitter
debate the Thurston delegation was
admitted, receiving 1GD votes, while
the Lake wing had but 119 of the 279
votes cast. The Franklin county fight
followed, and finally the Valentine
voters were admitted. The Gosper
county feud was settled by the delega
tion themselves, and after an exciting
wrangle the Hays delegation were ad
mitted at 3 o'clock in the morning as
the real representatives of Madison
county.

and Sadler. D. II. Wheeler's name
was also withdrawn.
MacMurptry then withdrew his
name, leaving the contest between
Alexander and Slaughter.
The third ballot was

S. J. Alexander, - - 184
Alexander's nomination was then
made unanimous.
Tzschuck being out of the wa
for Secretarj-, Leidtke, the only Ger
man candidate in the field, had a fair
show for Auditor and was nominated
on the third ballot hy a vote of 1S5.
It was nearly morning on Thurs
day. The balloting on Treasurer
was c'ose, resulting in trie nomina
tion of Mr. Bartlett, of Lancaster,
the present deput.
Prof. Thompson,' present incumb
ent, was nominated for Superintend
ent of Public I ctr action.
Gen. Dillworth was nominated for
Attorney General.
F. M. Davis was nominated for
Land Commissioner by acclamation,
there being no other candidate.
The convention adjourned for
breakfast. After that the committee
on Platform reported, and a Central
Committee was appointed.
A disgraceful debate occurred
on the adoption of a resolution re
garding bridge tolls at Omaha, and
the convention was etill wrangling
when we left Thursday noon.
It is impossible to publish the
platform this week. It is a sound
money platform and on it we will win
the battle. XV. XV.
The Judicial District Convention
met at Nebraska city on the 23d, and
John C. Watson was nominated by ac
clamation. Mr. Watson is a young
Attorney of Otoe, who has won his
way by energy, industry and ability to
a high position at the bar, and will no
doubt make an excellent District At
torney if elected.
The ends of the Greenbackers who
are fiat money men, who believe that
the government can stamp leather,
wood, stone or paper, and ca:l it money,
could only be attained through revolu
tion. It is impossible, under the pres
ent constitution, for the government
to make, (not coin) money. With the
mere demagogue who only hunts an
office, and who only cares to create a
disturbance and dissatisfaction with
the party in power it is useless to ar
gue. He neither knows nor cares any
thing about the true principles of fi
nance, nor the facts in the case.
To the hone. t Greenbacker who is
deluded with this notion of irredeema
ble paper money and oceans of it we
say examine the facts and see when
and how you can gee what you think
you want suppose your theory is cor
rect, suppose fox the mere argument
that your fiat money was the money
we want and need, how will you get it
through the gr-enback party? The
Congress that meets this winter is not
a greenback congress, in your sense of
the terra. The congressmen you elect
this fall do not take their seats until a
year hence, and then the first practi
cable thing they could do, (provided it
was then a fiat money congress) would
be to submit an amendment of the
constitution to the people. This must
be ratified by two-thirds of the states,
which would consume another year al
most and does any one of sense sup
pose two-thirds of the states would
ratify any such amendment? This is
the only way under the forms of law
that such change could be made, the
only other way, as we have s.iid, is by
revolution, anarchy and confusion.
Long before this could be accom
plished the money question of this
country will have settled itself, and
the conservative forces of either old
party will have placed a sound, re
deemable uniform currency before the
people.
There will be no finance question be
fore the people in '80 no greenback
question. It will be whether bam my
Tilden or some other democrat shall
be president provided the old Republi
can partv i3 not strong enough to elect.
That will be the issue.
'I he State Fair.
Our space is so limited this week
owirg to insertion of the delinquent
tax list that we have room for only a
few notes of the State Fair, of which
we should have been glad to give a
much fuller account. The weather for
the first day or two was rather unfa
vorable being somewhat cold and
windy, but it did nut deter people from
coming and the last two days being
pleasanter the crowd numbered from
5,000 to 6,000, and many were obliged
to be content with the most insufficient
acommodations or even none at all in
tlii way of lodging.
The display of farm and orchard pro
ducts was a sufficient advertisement of
Nebraska to satisfy the most incredu
lous and to further advertise our re
sources, the U. P. is having samples
of the finest specimens of fruits and
vegetables packed by Mr. J. T. Allen
and sent to the St. Louis fair and from
thpnee to the Chicago Exposition.
The statistics in regard to tree plant
ing in '77 and '78 would almost surpass
belief were they not vouched for. For
'77 the number of trees planted was
more than thirty and one quarter mil
lions and for '78 eighty-eiglit millions.
There were 64 acres of fruit trees in
'77 and 4000 acres in '78 exclusive of
firapes. Treeless prairies in Nebrska
wiil be a thing of the past soon.
G. W. E. Dorseys horse Saturn was
awarded the sweepstakes prize over
thirty competitors.
Nemaha took the premium for the
best fruit display.
To show that the state north of the
Platte is rapidly cat hing up with the
south Piatte in fruit culture Hiram
Craig oi Washington Co., took prem
iums for best collections of autumn
apple3 and second best of winter ap
ples, and Burt Co., Agricultural Socie
ty for the best collection of pears; II.
Craig for grapes. Chas. Meyer of Cass
county, premium on brooms; L. A.
Moore, Plattsmouth, best basket cut
flowers, flower wreath, round bouquet,
and best collection Begonias; W. J.
Ilesser, Plattsmouth, best collection of
greenhouse plants, foliage plauts, cala
diums, ferns and palms.
Races at the Co. Fair.
On Saturday, in the foot race. Bud
Smith got first money and Geo. Foster
(colored) 2d. In the afternoon race
Jas. Woodard wins' first and Foster
again wins second.
HORSE RACES.
Friday Kearney's horse Jno. Gantt,
won first mouey against Streight's
Bronco Jim; owing to the track being
so wet Streight's horse could not rrake
time.
Saturday There were a number of
running ra:es, mostly won by Ricke
baugh, an Iowa professional, and one
trot between Jones' Black' Bess and
Pettit's stallion; Jonea won. No

Democratic Convention.
The Democratic Convention asseni-
! bled at Lincoln the 25th. and after a
hot light and a desperate one, resulted
in discomfiture to the i Id Bourbon hard
money element, and triumph to the
fiat-faction. Henry C. Lett, of Nenia
ha was elected permanent chairman.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton being called
upon to make a speecli, was unmerci
fully choked off by the opposition.
The platform committee made a ma
jority and minority report on the
money question, the majority favoring
specie resumption and currency con
vertible into coin, the minority, repeal
of the resumption act, and more green
backs. Greenbacks carried by a ma
jority of thirteen. The nomination.

Dear Sir: I write you concerning
Prof. Ev T. Simons, formerly from
this count', who is now engaged in
teaching in your city. I have known
the gentleman for a number of years.
He ranked among the first teachers of
Albany county. For two years I came
in contact with him in an official ca
pacity. I have visited his school, No. 8,
always foui d it in first-class working
order and know that he taught the
higher branches, preparing pupils for
admission into college. The fact that
he taught the school for four consecu
tive years is conclusive evidence that
he is a first-class man in respee'. to
moral characttr. learning, and ability
toimpart instruction, lor no section
under my jurisdiction is more exact
ing than the locality from which Mr.
Siniois resigned when he came to you.
I have sent them three good men. and
in conversation with one of the officers
lately, he said, "they are not E. T. Si
mons." You mav state to your board of edu
cation that Prof. E. T. Simons is a
gentleman, and his scholarship no one
will doubt, and as for power to im
part instruction, few teachers ate
his
equals

; An Astouishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the ef
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The' result of tliTse diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable peo
ple is moat alarming, making life ac
tually a burden instead of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There, is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice of Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle "of Green's
August Flowei. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the western
continent. 281y-eow

commotion among Hiem and they have
all left, thanks to tho "Centennial Rat
