"We hear g.Kd words from Mr. Tefft
all over the County. lie is convincing'
the people that ho is just what the
Herald pronounced him, a sound
thinker, a well informed man, and a
fit representative of the people of Cass.
A casual observer of the Platts
mouth Herald, could easily delect
what troubled Mae. its editor, and
would know just the minute a new
candidate for Secretary of State was
out. He. was on the rack constantly.
Alexandrian. Not much.
The Republican speakers and candi
dates have covered themselvs with glory
this fall, in tho earnest, honest en
deavor they have made, and the square
arguments in behali of the true, real
workingmen thev have used.
Personal work, personal work is
what is now wauted. Every Repub
lican must turn out and do his level
best. Don't measure your work by an
other Man's; don't grofl because you
haven't got enough honors. Turn out
and work. If beat now. Republicans
may as well hanr up the fiddle.
Sly as they keep it. the Democrats
will work up considerable of a vote
this fall. We are all turning our at
tention to the Greenback? rs. Look
out for Tilden's "still hunt," by the
Democtacy. Republ'cans. you must
work and vote if you expect to hold
your own.
If a certain set of democratic and
greenback politicians do not cease, in
stantly, their lies and personal abuse
of Republican candidates in this cam
paign, their motives will be thor
oughly ventilated in the next issue
of this paper We propose to have no
fooling about this.
J. A. McMurphy. editor of thePIatls

convention last Tuesday, paid his re
spects to these newspaper headquarters.
Mac is sound on the county printing
question. Call again. Reporter.
Yes. and we mean to keep at it, un
til the press of the State gets justice
at the Land3 of its legislators.
Bod. Doom has gt the Greenback
majority in this county up to 143 now.
If bob keeps on he will have the whole
county. Our old friend Hagood too, is
a wonderful Greenbacker and says he
has ridden miles and miles over Cass
county on mule-back, to make converts
all for the good of the cause.
We have nearly $700,000,000 paper

the demands of I he irredeemable paper
Hdvocit.es, abandon what has already
been aceornplisl ed, and return aain
to the experiences of the past? l'ress.
Now stop about the ignorance of the
Greenbackers. In the republican float
convention hist Tuesday it would seem
as if there were four delegates who
could not write as thev put in their
ballots blank, and on the next ballot
some of the delegates hail to write out
tir keis tor the voters! What do you
think of that? A Reporter.
We think you must have been hard
up for copy, that's all.
Relieve no lies started on the eve
of a campaign. Believe no yarns that
an enemy tells you on general princi
ples. Stand up for your own people
and your own side. Thr htve been
too much half acknowledgements, too
much half apology. Tell your enemy
to produce the txrrrer man, the better
way; show us your man without
blemish and without fault and then
talk.
ITork.
Real good campaign work is what is
needed in this county. The arguments
of the greenback and soft-money dem
ocrat are so flimsy, border so nearly
on the destruction of all property and
all values that they will lose votes
every day from now until election, if
Republicans do their duty on the
stump, in their neighborhoods, and at
the polls. Remember this.
Eos DiiOM claims 500 votes for the
Democrats, gives the Republicans 8C0
and the rest for the Greenbacks. that
is to say. 1300 or 1500 for the Green
back ticket. Everyone knows that is
a foolish thing; but the democrats
have polled from 800 to 1 .100. tbe Re !
; pablxcans 1,290 to 1.500, heretofore.
Now we can't all get a majority out of a
possible 2,500 votes. The Republicans
Ought to poll 1.500 votes, and we can,
if tlie houet men in the party will see
to i? that we get the Tcte out.
AsiDii from the man who captured
the nomination for Secretary of State,
there is not a man in the Slate whom
we would have liked to have had the
nomination more than MacMurphy, of
the I'lattsmouth Herald. He is too
good a newspaper man to be spared
from the fold. The neatest gotten up
tax-list we have yet seen emioated
from his offce. Alexandrian.
Tnn nomination of J. N. Wise for
State Senatar in Cass county, and aa
excellent ticket for representatives,
means that the fighting democrats of
Cass intend to redeem it. Mr. Wise is
one of the soundest and best citizens
and democrats in our state, Ly the com
mon consent of all who know that gen
tleman, and a ticket composed of such
men is an augury of victory which ac
counts for much ot the enthusiasm and
confidence of the Cass couny democra
cy. Omaha Uerald.
Wait until the vote is counted out.

Who says the Railroad Companies
never sympathise with the farmer or
try to aid him. The Lincoln Journal
says this:
Our farmers and grain dealers will
be pleased to know that the B. &. M.
Railway Company has reduced the
freight on all kinds of grain from this
point to Chicago, five cents per hun
dredweight, making about four cents
per buihel. This is done on account
of the decline in grain, and for the
purpose of helping out tlie grain deal
ers anil farmers, and is a graceful aet
in this company, and one that should
be remembered to their advantage.
Forbes' Dramatic Company will
play here the last of this month, pre
senting the two popular dramas,- "Un
cle Tom's Cabin" and "Diamonds,"
They announce that their company
comprises sixteen first class artists, and
the drama "Diamond" is an entirely
new play, prepared expressly for this
company. The part of Eva in Uncle
Tom's Cabin is rendered by little Ca
milla, only three years of age, ad Miss
Theo Dana, an eminent pianist, will
give some fine selections.
The devoutly welcomed frost came
to the suffering south on Saturday last
and relief may now be hoped for from
the terrible plague. The statistics of
deaths so far as they could be obtain
ed are nearly 12,000 and doubtless
many more will be added before it
ceases entirely, but while those who
have fled from their homes will return,
business again will revive upon the
streets, and the outward signs of the
great horror will have passed away,
many a household have been entirely
desolated, many family circles will
miss one or more from their midst,
and the cry of mourning will go up
for many a long day.
In Regard lo Double Headers.
The following resolutions were unan
imously adopted by the State Central
Committee:
Resolved, that it shall be the duty
of the Executive Committee to pass
upon the prima fc-ie claims of the cre
dentials of all parties claiming to be
elected to tho Sta'e Convention, and
that it shall be called together by the
chairman to sit for that purpose from
10 a. rn. till 2 p. m. of the day of the
convention, and that it shall issue tick
ets of admission to such convention to
all delegates found in possession of
regular credentials.
The Effects Upon Grants rrospects.
People who indulged the idea that
the Republican party was dead have
discovered their mistake when they
hsve looked at the result of Tuesdays
elections. Tlie Republican party still
exists. It is still vigoious. compact,
ind on the alert. The Republican par
ty will go into the next campaign for
the election of President with more
than a mere possibility, with fair
chance, if we may judge from present
appearances, of success. They may be
beaten ; bui it is too much to say at
present, that they are certain to be
beaten.
This is the opinion of the N. Y. Sun,
a bitter anti-Republican paper.
Out of His Own Mouth.
So far as we can learn Maj. Davis
does not do this (expound the platform
adopted at Lincoln aud the beauties
of soft money). He is free to do this,
not having endorsed either platform
of the two parties of which he is tlie
candidate for congress. Omaha Her
ald. True, as reports assure us. he preach
either, or m it her, or both hard and soft
money, according as "the laud lies"
where he makes port to deliver his ear
go of words, words, words. In other
words, he is a demagogue of the bold
est and most unblushing sort, a man
who is running merely to get elected,
and not as the representative and ex
pouuder of any fixed principles. Jour

Loss Not Less Than $150,000.
A very destructive prair"e fire tak
ing head in the Piatte bottom north
west of David City, and driven by the
wind through tlie eastern part of But
ler couii ty, extending into Seward coun
ty, occurred last Saturday afternoon
and flight. The following special
gives the main facts concerning the
disaster.
Special to the Omaha Daily Republican.
David Citv. Neb, October 21. All
day Saturday black clouds of smoke
rising in different directions denoted
that the prairies were on fire in vari
ous localities. A strong wind had
been blowing steadily from the south
west, but no fire appearing in that di
rection there was n immediate cause
of alarm. About 4 p. ra. it suddenly
changed to the northwest, increasing
in violence to a perfect gale. Black
clouds of smoke came sweeping down
a solid wall of flame that swept down'
on the town with fearful rapidity.
Back cres were set, and by good man
agement, the fire passed about half a
mile east, jumped the track of tbeO. &
R.T railroad and sped" away to the
southeast, destroying houses. cornfields,
grain stacks and everything in its
course. It is impossible to give indi
vidual losses at present, but the result
may be stated in a general way. Sher

ports that Bone Creek vallev is a scene

From n Uostou View.
A correspondent of the Boston Trav
eler who was bet e not long since seaks
of Nebraska very liigldy. After no-
j ticing Lincoln in a very complimenta
ry manner, he attends to
OTHER MATTERS.
In Cass county the writer saw fine
orchards which appeared to be old, for
the trees were large and bore abundant
ly, but the orchard was a young one.
Trees grow at a sui pricing rate on this
soil. Nebraska has rich soil, good riv
ers, a healthful climate and never
knows a drouth ; and after the fine
crops of the past two seasons she ought
to have recovered from the heavy debt
incurred iu gr-isshopjer times, and
would, were it not for the inexcusable
extravagance of her farmers. This
great evil is shown by the reckless
manner in which they buy expensive
patent mowers and reapers, and the
way they neglect their machinery.
They buy horses and implements at al
most any pi ice, if the seller will only
take a mortgage on hi3 goods, appar
ently having boundles faith in their
ability to meet their obligation in the
future.
This fall the whole State is busy and
times are good. All the smaller towns
in the middle and western parts of Ne
braska are thriving Crete, Lincoln,
Kearney Junction, York, David City
and a dozen others. From Hastings a
branch of the Burlington and Missou
ri Railroad will soon be built, and ac
cess to the rich Republican river valley
made easy.
As noticed in the Traveller two
months ago, the prospects of the bridg
ing of he Missouii river by the Bur
lington and Missouri road at Platts
mouth are bright, for there appears to
be plenty of business for both the Un
ion Pacific bridge at Omaha and one at
Plattsmouth. Besides, the latter town
affords by far the Lest foundation for
such a structure. The tdteam is nar
row here, the west bank is permanent,
and some say that there is a rock bot
tom to the river, though this is not ct r
tain. IMMIGRATION.
No Western State is getting popula
ted quicker or with a better class of
comers than this wide territory; even
favored Kansas falls behind this year.
There are no mines in Nebr
the farmers and stock raisers who come
come to stay.
Any one from Massachusetts or any
of the oi l States can readily see that
this is the laud for young men; tlie
wide earth affords no better.
It is hard to see how any steady man
who comes here possessed of a trade,
or a desire to go o:i the land, can fail,
for everything appears to be in his fa
vor. Nature is bountiful and taxes
are light. A few years hence a-.id but
few of these widn government land.-,
v. ill be open to sottlers at prices such
its t'loy e;i for to-day. Wnen ono re
members that there is no danger here
from the Indians, that telegraphic com
munication with the rest of the world i
is complete, and that a railroad ride of
24 hours will take one to either Chica
go or St. Louis, little iu addition to the
attractions mentioned is to be desired.
WOODSIDK.
We want from this time out an ag
gressive campaign. We are tired
of the charge that all the hard times,
all the poverty, all the misfortunes in
the world are due to the Republican
party.' Charge it home on democrats
and greenbackers. that it is a lie. A
great big campaign lie. There were
poor folks before the war; before the
Republican party came into power.
There always were, and there always
will be poor folks, shiftless folks. The.
National finances do not make them.
Charge it home that no country, France
not excepteu, ever recovered irom so
great a war (Ijrought on by democrats)
so great, a disruption of all business
relations, so great an overthrow of so
ciety, as this country has and under
Republican rule.
Charge home that tho hypocrites, the
swindlers, the frauds, the liars and the
thieves brought to bay in the hist ten
years have been, almost invariably,
men who came from other thin the
Republican party. Don't sit and
whine and cojver any longer under
false charges and fool accusations
We have nothing to a;ologise for and
no recantations to offer. No country
has been better governed all things
considei ed than these United States for
the past ten years.

Ex-GovEiiNoii Spr.igut) of Rhode Is
land id a greenbacker, ami his fellow
partisans are making a great noise
about it and calling it the spread of
their doctrines. Why, Sprague was
one of them years ago; some of the
greenbackers who know him best, have
been awfully afraid that he would in
sist on taking the eturup. The fact is
thnt since that failure for more million
of dollais than we like to state, Wil
liam Sprague's opinions haven't been
very 'drawiti-T ' For instance, the
poor depositors in the Cranston sav
ings bank might be very strongly im
pressed witii anything he might say.
but the impression would not be of
that sort generally descrilied as favor
able. It is noticeable that such folks
readily take to the new party. Many
a man who lias conspicuously shown
his inability to comprehend the laws
of trade, and has damaged everybody
who has trusted him, seems to turn by
instinct to the new party as one which
willappre iate his ability to regulatethe
affairs of the nation, especially in fi
nance. It is a pretty good plan to judge
o'.' ani'it by the manner he has manag
ed his own business. Lawrence Amer

backistn on the street the other day,
who could just fill the bill as far a j the

This is how the eminent editor of
the Omaha Herald, Dr. Millar, explains
his anomalous position in supporting
soft money candidates while believing
in a hard money system:
We had hoped to be allowed to con
duct this canvass without being attack
ed for not doing what we cannot hon
estly do. We will light for the ticket,
and will do our best to help others
elect it, but, as we said the other diy
we say again, the Herald supports its
party and its ticket as a democratic
journal yielding all personal objections
to the beheSiS of the authorized demo
cratic voice of this State. When it
comes to demanding of us that we make
ourself a common liar before the peo
ple of this State, this is asking too
much, and it cannot be done.
The Place for Yodiit 31 eu.
T e Peoria Transcript has this
to
say of two of its former citizens:
Nebraska appears lo be a uiod ex
cellent place for the developement of
young America. A few years ago a
citizen of Kewanee, in this state, gave
his sou ICO acres of land out in Ne
braska, aud told him to "go out and
grow up with the country." The
young man obeyed, ami, a few days
ago he was nominated by the Republi
cans of that young and thriving com
monwealth for Governor. When
elected, as he will be, Albinus Nance
will be an honor to the State that
elects him and the State that gave him
birth.
During the early days of the rebel
lion two young men by the name of
Valentine worked in the composing
room of the Trauscript office. The
elder of the two was stiicken down
with the fever and now sheps in
Sprinsrdale cemetery. The younger,
familial ly known as "Kim." went into
the army, and when the army was over
settled down in Nebraska, studied law,
was elected Circuit Judge and has just
received a nomination for Congress.
Of course, he is a Republican and
his election is sure. We confidently
look forward to the time when the
ol l-tiine Transcript compositor. "Kim"
Valentine, will hold a seat in the Uni
ted St;it es Senate, for he is one wh-
will do honor to any position
him. '

The Duty of the Hour.
From tlie Clay County (iiobe.
It is the duty of each aud every pa
triotic citizen at the coming election
in this State to vole. Witn this in
view tlie question of .supreme import
ance is, with what group of school of
politics shall he act? It seems to bH
the tendency of the limes to make it
unpopular tor a man to act with any
party, and especially witii this Repub
lican party. The innovators and dis
organizes are ever ready, however, to
Ink-.- j : usv.-:3 If:-; to their c.mp, with
which lo construct a new party, mim
ing t hem bantling" Democratic" "Green
back," "National." "Labor Reform,"
ai;d so on.
We class tlie Democratic party of
these times with these catch-calls, as
the Democratic party is dead beyond
possible resuscitation as it staked its
all on one issue, and tliat issue was the
l ight of propes ty in hum in flesh and
blood. Rut Uu'fce men cry "bloody
shirt ;" well they may, for the Demo
cratic patty staked all on that is tie,
and Wdnt to war on it and lost, aud as
a parly died with llie war. This new
thing that is termed Democratic is
Meutical with Greenback an.: can only
serve to catch vo.es enough to boost
somy worthless politicians into power
who are too indigent to make a living
except as vampires.
The intelligent m isses and the work
ing masses will always be Republicans.
Large numbers of the Republicans ar
to-day especially in the west, believers
in a national renresnitati ve currency
founded on the solid promise of the
government aud the abolishments of
the National banks. Relieving as I hey
do that a dollar is a dollar only as it is
dug out of tlie earth, the forest or the
mine m snort only as it is earned by
hard labor. Ren Uatler's labor theo
ries are but sophistry to calcli the un
wary and the lazy.
It will bo hard in.led ?o make peo
ple take to this new Democratic party
that recollect tlie dark slruc."le (hat
foliowitd tlie lawful election of Lin
coln in 1S0O. There are th" same men
coming atop i:. a new p'ae.o on the pond.
Shall we trust them? Thosr m-n v..nt
back on the country orion aid are e.l
ternately Democratic, Greenback, lie
form or anything for office.
Th" regenerated RepuMic.in party
of to- lay can be trusted. It is made
up of young men with the warning
sins of their redecftssori before f hem.
Its veins arn tilled with young and
pure 1 flood, aud iis well knil muscle ij
strong with ths vigor ot early in tn-
