The liepublican State Convention nominated yesterday the following ticket: For Electors O. XV. Collins, J. II. Lnird. Jno. M. Thurston; for mem ber of Cougress, E. K. Valentine,; con tingent member, Thos. J. Majors; for Governor, Albinus Nance; Lieut. Gov ernor, E.C. Carnes; Secretary of State, S. J. Alexander; Treasurer, G. M. Bart lolt; Auditor, John Wallichs; Attor ney General, J.J. Dilworth; Commis sioner of Public Lands and Buildings, A. G. Kida!l ; Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, XV. W. Jones. J. C Watson received the unanimous nom ination for District Attorney f the Second Judicial District. The Convention passed over very harmoniously indeed. There were no fool resolutions introduced, and the ticket is a staunch and safe one, that can honestly be endorsed by every Re publican in the State. A resolution to nominate a U. S. Senator was laid on the table. Weefikg Wateu got quite a bene fit in the Convention, last week. "Weeping Water knew what she wanted and acted up to it; Platts mouth dawdled and lost her game.

Partial sickness of the Editor and his absence at Lincoln to State and District Conventions must be the apology for lack of editorial matter this week. Tun hitherto interminable Omaha quari el seeui3 at last to be in a fair way to cease. The late Convention elected delegates satisfactory to the wa$s of Republicans. There will be no bolt, no double-header. Iicsewater, for the time, anyway, seems to be com pletely outnumbered and outvoted. If permanent quiet and decent political gatherings in the future are th result, the whwle State has cause to rejoice at the outcome. We have received from the Ameri can Boik Exchange, New York, a copy of "The Republican Manual," by E. V. Small ey, which ought to be in the hands of all gooi Ilepublicans. It contains a hirory of the liepublican Party Jrom its inception to the present day, and also sketches of the Presiden tial candidates. We will supply our pay-in-advance subscribers with copies at 40 cents, if a sufficient number de sire it to pay us for sending for them. The regular price is 60 cents, and that is a low one for as well-bound, well filled and handsome a boak as that is. St. SwiTniN is said to have some thing to do with this rainy weather; so we looked into the Encyclopedia t find out something about his rainy saintship, amd found that he, was can onized the 2d day of July, 8C2, but when they attempted to remove hie re mains to Winchester Cathedral, July 15, a rain, which fell for forty days, prevented the removal. Some, there fore, state that if it rains the 15th ef July there will be rain for forty days, and some put the test day the 2oth of August, the fortieth day. As it rained the 23th this year, we still have thirty days of rain before us. Cheerful pros pect. It is not the IJ kuald that has kick ed. It is supposed to be the people. We can stand almost any kind f poli tics that the rest can. This is the old Wheeler row over. They used to come to us and cuss Wheeler by the hour, and then they all turned in and voted for him. New, you have been telling us for years that you do not want to be ruled by rings, and wron't stand the one man, cr few men, dictation any more, and we have voiced it. That's all. If you don't showT that you mean it in this convention, never ask us to help you again. Just 'swallow what you get hereafter, and be quiet. Plattsmouth IIkrald. It isn't often that the same Edito rial Avill do for two weeks, but the above ro-copied from the Lincoln Globe covers tne situation as well as we could say it again and so let it stand. 'lhe President. President Hayes and party leave Chicago by special train to-day, via tLe C. B, & Q. Ii. I., and will arrive in Omaha sometime Friday, morning, where efforts are being made to hold the train for a few hours in order to tender him a reception. Wonder if the C. B. & Q. will bring the distin guished party over their new bridge. If so Plattsmouth may have. a glimpse f the head of the Nation. We had not intended to say one word about the convention, or our part in it. but the usual useless after comments of all those 4 1 told you so" folks compel us, just for the sake of a record to Gle away, to state what were the facts as re found them. That there was a strong anli-old-ticket and anti-Tefft feeling under neath the surface, if it culd have been brought to a head or organized, there is no doubt; so strong, anyway, that Mr. Tefft's friends only counted fifty votes at best for him, and were figur ing this town solid against him. If the people here had been as true to their professed sentiments as the people of Weeping Water, such would have b? en the case; but after talking and talking against Mr. Tefft, and call ing a semi-public meeting to protsst against his nomination, and at which there was not one dissenting voice, about half the delegates elected here did vote for Mr. Tefft, and now they ought to take him to their bosoms and embrace him, and vote for him, and ho ought to be elected, and go there, and get passed just as mean and as "ornary" a County seat bill as ho can frame. In rejard to our own action vva have just this to say: But a short time ago the editor of this paper was accused in the most brutal manner of fighting the town, of selling out to Weeping Wa ter, of being against h's own people, and all that, solely and simply because he sad that a public newspaper, pa tronized more or less in the whole County by the people of the whole County, sheuld give them a place to lecerd themselves as in favor ol Platts mouth or againac the question. That was all, and yet on this basis we were abused, branded as a drunkard, lied about in every way, committees form ed to endeavor to break down our bu siness and ruin us. Yet with all that we were supported by a large number of the people "here in our right, and very largely by the people ofjthe Co. In this case there was an almost unanimous sentiment express'd against the re-nomination of Mr. Tefft; at this meeting spoken of not one man said Tefft. We thought we would go with our people this time, "be with the town," once, as it coincided with our judgment too, and behold, through the action of a few individuals we find about half the delegates there from this place supporting Mr. Tefft. These are just the facts, people, you can set tle it among yourselves. We care nothing about not getting the nomina tion, but we would like to see you con sistent, once, or else place the blame where it ought to be. Believing that the honest sentiment of this town and this end of the coun ty was against re-nomination, we went there for that purpose. We found no organization, no head, delegates run ning here and there, asking for this one or that, and wanting to know what to do. They had all the morning to com bine on Mr. Wiles if they wanted to; Mr. MacMurphy never said he would be a candidate until after 12 o'clock. If he had not boen a candidate there would have been no organized effort against Mr. Tefft at all ; he would have had a walk over. MacMurphy was foolish enough to believe that was not what the people here wanted, and proved his belief by doing the best he could. The only Ward that seemed to know what it wanted and acted consistently, was the First. It voted solid for what its constituents demanded. If the rest had done as well, (and we were ever right in opposiug Mr. Tefft) he never would have been nominated. Either the whole talk and blow against Teff, here, never should have been made, and the newspapers drawn into it, and honest citizens, er else the dele gates should have voted the honest sentiments of the people. We have said the convention run itself. It did, especially the Platts mouth end. One of the few men that seemed to know what ho wanted, and act up to it, was II. M. Bushnell, editor of the Enterprise. His action in all matters may have been wise or unwise, but he at least had a definite fixed object, and worked for it consistently ; while most of the others did not seem to know what they did want or how to go about getting it if they did. One gentleman sneeringly alluded to Mr. Bushnell as "our friend." We ac cept it, and it would speaK better for the town and county, better for their honor, for their generosity, if Mr. Mac Murphy had found more such friends. It is not a nice comment to make, but it is true, that men whom the Herald has helped time and again to office, to patronage, whom it has voted for and supported in every way, held back, were luke-warm, or avowed op ponents, while an almost stranger, and a man whom we have fought (instead of being on his side) was left to say al most the first and only good words (in public) Iot the editor of this paper, and it is no wonder that we have come to feel that the most ungrateful thankles? and unremunerative task a man can undertake is to edit a party paper in t'eis county.. Yet it is a fact, as our health and pocket, will bear wit ness. Further comment is unnecessary; the ticket is made and it is our duty as Republicans to support it the best we. may.

Why the 8onth is Solid for Ilaucock. iFrom Wade Hampton's Speech ut Stanton, t UglDlU.J "Consider what Lee and Jackson would do were they alice. 1'IIESE ARE THE SAME PRINCIPLES EOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT FOR FOUR YEARS. Remember the men who poured forth their lift blood on I irginias soil, and do not abandon them now. Remember that upon your vote depends the success of the Demo cratic ticket: Trade Hampton, at tho meeting in the interest of Democratic harmony in Virginia, at Staunton, on July 26, 1S0. "Pause before you cast your vote. Think how Lee wovld have voted. Th ink what Jackson would h-ive done before he would hare cast a vote calculated to dicide his beloved Virginia. I ask you to remember those who have died on your soil, AND TO REM EMU ER THAT THE PRINCIPLES THEY DIED FOR ARE AGAIN ON TRI AL TO-DAY." -fWh at Wade Hamp ton said, as reported in the Staunton Vindicator of July 30, 1880, the only Democratic paper in Staunton that published the substance of his address. "General Hampton declared that the democratic party, under Hancock's had was fighting for the some principles that Lee and Jabkson fought for, aiul for which the Southern soldiers died. There was no qualification in the the terms. His appeal was fur harmo ny in the Democratic jarty of Virgin ia, and to make it effective, he brought up the war remembrance to touch the feelings of the audiewe," From the Staunton Valley Virginian, the paper from which the first quotation above id taken. The Last! Many thanks for allowing us space to argue out the Mt. Pleasant school house question. I now consider it ar gued out, as Mr. Mt. Pleasant will not reply to all of my qi-estions. But I cannot, cannot convince liirn in regard to t he dirty condition in which the school house is almost always left; or, having convinced him against hi3 will lie is of the same opinion still. I hope Scribbler No. 2 will reply this week, as it seems he wants to pick a quarrel with him. I now step to the rear. Lover of Tempeeance. Three Groves Notes. From the numerous letters in tho Herald during tho past summer noth ing has come under my observation as items from Three Groves, and think ing that we ought not to bo left in the UarK in mat line, l take it upon my self to post your readers with a few notes, merely to show that we are up to business here as usual. The harvest of small grain was sat isfactory with the farmers, and seems to be a very good yield gtnerally and f a good quality. The yield is somo better than last year of what ha3 been threshed; but only a small portion of the grain has been threshed so far. Early corn is very good; late will be poor, however, but it is thought that the recent wet weather will help out the late corn considerably. Potatoes will be about half a crop, that is, early ones; notwithstanding late ones will be pretty fair. Hay, is very short, and will be scarce. Fruit is very good, and plenty of all kinds, with the exception of peaches. Solomon Long, formerly a resident of this place, now of Rul, Neb., is up, visiting friends in this locality; he will return in a few days. Mrs. Edward Wiley, who has been quite ill for a few weeks is improving rapidly. Levi nus Patterson and Byron Young have gone to Kansas; Levinus has sold out to ft Mr. Campbell, and says ho is go ing to try Kansas a while. The William Voting grave yard has been undergoing repairs for two days last week. A brand splinter new fence ha3 been put up all around, besides the clearing off of the ground, which makes quite an improvement. Miss Etta ratteisnn is conducting the Rock Creek school, which commenced on Monday last. Nearly everybody is go ing to help 3e Editor out witli that celebration, and to see the test on the new bridge, Monday. Rev. II. A. Ew ell goes to Lincoln to attend district conference, in a few days. Mr. Elisha Carroll. is the happiest man I have seen since the rain; says it's a girl, and doing fine. Fall plowing will be pushed rapidly forward in the coming week, if the weather clears off. Politics booming. Reporter. To the People of Cass County, Neb. Greenwood Prkcinct, ) August 30th, 1880. f Being a member of the Republican delegation fust elected in Greenwood Precinct by the unanimous vote of the primary meeting, held at the usual place of election, on the evening of August 21st, for the purpose of elect ing delegates to attend the County Convention, I wish to say a few words to the people regarding the injustice with which the case of the double del egation from this precinct was dispos ed of. Referring the case to the committee on credentials, whose chairman had previously declared his intentions to fight our delegation to the last, they, aft'er a lengthy consideration of the case, became satisfied that they could but agree to disagree, and so referred the case back to tho convention, with out hearing near all of the testimony at hand. The convention then giving each delegation fifteen minutes in which to present its case to them for final adjustment. Mr. G. W. Clark pre sented the case on behalf of the first delegation, and was followed by Mr. A Beeson on behalf of the second, after which the convention proceeded to im mediately dispose of the case by vote, resulting in seating the second delega tion. Regarding the action of the commit tee on credentials, I do not censure them, although a part of that commit tee would never do U3 justice. I think they were justifiable in referring the case to the house, without nnnecessa rily consuming the time of the conven tion in hearing all the evidence upon the case. But it is a self-evideut fact that the time given in which to pre sent the case to the convention was so limited, that it was impossible to give them an opportunity to enter into the merits of the case, and vote intelligent ly thereon ; and as the cause of the firt delegation was presented first, it gave no chance to refute the statemements madeby tho attorney for the second delegation. That the case was virtual ly not given a hearin? at all, must be admitted by every unprejudiced mind, and in my confident judgment tho hasty action of the convention result ed in the seating of an andrserving in stead of the valid delegation of Green wood Precinct. I submit these few remarks for the consideration of the Republicans of Cass County. Thev are not the words of a legal professional, or of a politi cian, but are the result of the observa tions of one who tills the soil f Ne braska for a livelihood, and who has voted the Republican ticket ever since he was 21 yeais of age. As a reward, I suppose, for ray fidelity to the repub lican party, I was denied even the priv ilege af a hearing before that conven tion, in the manner herewith set forth, notwithstanding myself and friends were openly contradicted, involving ourveracity and honor. Holland N. Bopk. Tho disposition of the case was a little "suddint," that's a fact ; and wo don't blame the boys for growling a little. Ed. Our Temperance Column. EDITED P.T TKK WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TKM FKRASCK UNION. "For God. and liome. and Native Land." The Mrs. Hayes' Memorial. The plans for this memorial, of which Our Union has published the circular from the Dolaware (O.) W. C. T. U.t are taking form and becoming a substantial reality. The magnitude and importance of the movement grows. It is uot in anywise depend ent upon party or creed. It is the ef fort to recoguize a stand for principle susc as has seldom been known, and this effort must be brought to every one having at heart the uplifting of humanity, with the opportunity for each one to participate in its completion.- The gentle, earnest pfiaistence of Mrs. Hayes, has made very ad vance stand by any, be they of high er low degree, easier. It has made possible for "society" to declare that certain usages are not Medu-Persian, and that customs are not binding. The act of the gracious wife and mother at the White House has been an open epistle to the world. It has been the quiet sermon from a lofty pulpit, yet with the force and power which car ries conviction. This sermon must be crowned with psalm from East to West, from North to South of this country. Let deep, heart felt pa-ans of thanksgiving to Him who gave her for tliis hour, and to the one who fulfilled His behest arise. But this must take tangible, visible form, that the story may be told again and iigain to the help and strengtli of thousands. In this growing, magnify ing scheme, in order to give opportunity for ad advico and consultation, time has been required; it could not be tho work of a moment. An extensive correspon dence is being 'started, and "making haste slowly" seems necessary. Thero had been an impiession abroad that the memorial would take the form- of a "Drinking Fountain," to bo erected in the city of Washington. Thin was started without authority, and there fore the Commission have nothing to retract in that regard. The idoa is pleasant and beautiful, but it is not practicable. It has bceti decidod that the fittest tribute (and this also iiiog; the wishes and has tho approbation of President and Mrs. Hayes) is a life size portrait of Mrs. Hayes to remain in the Presidential mansion, as com panion piece-to that of Martha Wash ington. The Delaware W. C. T. TJ. has sent the "first offering'" one hundred dol lars and thus, the treasurer's book being opened, she is ready to receive contributiion3 from tin cents and up wards. Sabbath Schools, Bands of Hope, Juvenile Unions, etc., are re quested to make special collections. It is earnestly hoped that children and young people wiil band themselves to gether, and in whatever way may be feasible to them, give simple entertain ments, tho proceeds of which shall go to swell this fund. Thp -'mite jugs" of "Our Girls" will be put in requisi tion. Every Good Templar's Lodge, every Division of Sons of Temperance and every organization, religious, mor al or philanthropic, is urged to make contribution, either individually or collectively. All sums will be prompt ly receipted, and all will be ackowiedg ed in "Our Union" and other papers. It is the desire to have this portrait at once in the hands of a first-class ar tist, whose work will not only bo a glory to the dear cause we represent, but a credit t'i art in the United States. Please remit to Miss Esther Pugh, 54 Bible House, New York. While the names of a number of prominent mem bers of Woman's Christian Temper ance Unions appear on tho Commis sion, it is not at all their work; it is broad to receive ail, to need all, and when the full list of commissioners appears, which will be as soon as all signify their acceptance of this grand trust, it will be seen that manifold in terests are represented. We take the following emphatic and significant words from a private letter of a prominent gentleman who appre ciates this work and its vast import: "I am more and more impressed with the importance of this move ment. It will bo needed, and every other influence we can bring to bear upon the same point to sustain tho present status at the White House. I would bo sad, indeed to have the old regime resumed, If possible it must be prevented. God help us. It is the expectation that tho fund will swell to such proportions that, after paying for the portrait, tho re mainder shall be tho foundation of a perpetual endowment for the purchase of Temperance literature for wide dis tribution. This will be a seeding for an abundant harvest, as 'the handful of corn upon the top of the mountain," yet the shaking thereof shall be as Lebanon. ft 9 CELEBRATED H Though Shaking like an Aspen Leaf With the ehilN and fever, the victim of mala ria m:iy .still recover by iiirr this celebrated specific, which not only breaks ut the most ati griivuted iUtuoks, lmt prevents their reenr renee.
