The State Couventin.
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

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.

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.

'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.

Three Groves Notes.
From the numerous letters in tho

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

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.

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.
