1. The Republicans of Nebraska most hear
tily endorse llic profession of principles fnriiut-
latcd py ihe national repiihliC..n convention at
Chfc.i&o, aud pledge their unswerving Mipport
to the candidates there nominated.
2. We affirm the doctrines el national sover-
gnty in ti-o (e mukucrt principle tipr.ii which
tie perpetuily of the nation rests, and that the
principle f home rule as enunciated by the
democratic party is but the cautious expression
of the Calhoun doctrine of state right?, is revo
lutionary in il character and desti uctive of the
unity of the nation.
3. We regard the recent seizure of tho polls
and wholesale rohbery of the franiii?es of the
republican citizens of Alabama, surpassing in
the magnitude and effrontery of the crime all
former efforts of the party under their Tweed
plan in New York, and the Mississippi plan
la the south, as a fair t-pecinien of democratic
method and a forecast of democratic dominion
national affairs that s hould incite every hon
est man and tax-payer in the country to the
most earnest endeavor te defeat the party of
brigandage and fraud at the palls in November
4. We hare considered "what Lee and Jack
son would do if they were alive," cheers aud
have determined to employ our best energies in
preventing the seizure f th national govern
ment by their living comrades through the
frauds of a solid south.
6. We congratulate the people of the state
pon its rapid increase ot population and wealth
aud upon the Rood measure of prosperity that
has rewarded their labor, upon the rapid up
building of our material intercuts si net the suc
cess of resumption and the revival of trade.
0. We pledge our support to such legislation
la censress. and such measures by stale legis
latures as may be necessary te effect a correc
tion of abuses, and prevent extortionate dis
crimination In charges by railroad corporations.
7. We nioet cordially invite the aid and co
operation in the latest defence of the national
integrity aud the national puree of nil republi
cans and war democrats who have differed
with uson temporal y issues, or have clung to
a party name.
AN ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION.
The following was offered by the committee
as a suggestion which the convention might
usefully adopt :
Resolved. The republican state central com
mittee be authorized to name the temporary
organization otthe next republican state con
Tention : to appoint a committee on credentials
from among their own number, whose duty it
shall be to pafs on atl credentials ar.d ujkhi all
qnestions that may properly conse before the
state committee, and to report immediately af
ter the state contention shall have temporari
ly organized.
Hen. John M. Thurston rose and said : Mr.
Chairman and jentlemen of the convention I
desire to move that the platform which you
hare heard read be adopted. In doing sol de
sire to say that not only does it represent all
principles of the party, but it reflects also the
forward position taken by the republican party
and t is such that every maa in the party rep
resented by the delegates to the convention
will cheerfully and gladly support . Cheers,
The motion having been seconded was car
ried mnanimously.
If tho crowd which llartigan gen
erally addresses ever read a republi
can paper we should try and refute
his statement about Gen. Garfield in
every particular, as it is it would be
time and space wasted.

Fourteen thousand people were on the
grounds. Thursday and Friday. Teams
driven in for miles surrounded the en
campment like a corral.
The old soldiers enjoyed the return
of camp-life and the remembrances of
tl.o war beyond anything that we ever
imagined. Such greetings, such hand
shakings were seldom known.
Many of those who could reach there
with teams, brought their wives and
clrldien, and the pride and the iater-
est they manifested, as husbands, fa
thers and brothers marched round, was
a sight worth going miles to witness.
The camp-fires each evening in a
huge board pavillion, were attended by
thousands. Experifences of the war,
speeches by prominent comrades of the
G. A. It., and finally the trials and he

were brought out by the ladies them

A Neat Way of Pnlting the Southern
Situation.
Gen. Ben Harrison in a speech at
Terra Haute, Ind.. said, "And now if
we turn to the Southern States we find
their electoral vote is already counted
for Gen. Hancock. Wade Hampton
cast the electoral vole of those states
at the Cincinnati Convention 13S for
Gen. Hancock." I submit, sir, no one
could put the Southern situation moro
neatly than that. A proverb says,
"Never count your chickens before
thev are hatched ; but nere is an in
stance of counting the eggs before
they are laid, with the full assurance
that every one of them will have a
(Han) cock in it. Gen. Wade Hamp
ton is the hf n that is to lay thera, and
the Cincinnati convention took up the
cackle in anticipation of the grand
event.
CORRESPONDENCE.
From Leoisviile.
Louisville has heard from Maine.
Tell J.N. Wise to whoop it up to the
democrats, for the republican defeat is
not so monstrous as "it used to was.'
Conrad Schlater is one of tho jolliest
democrats here; ask hira about the im
prcssion ne got irom the first news
from Maine,
Wo fc'et same political new hare oc
casionally, though all as yet from dem
ocratic speakers. Ilartigan, Crites and
Wi3e came up here last week to do
some missionary work. Hartigan says
that recent converts are usually the
most enthusiastic, though not always
the most discreet. We believe it, and
we are incliuad to believe that some
wouia backslide u tney had nair a
chance.
lneir audience neie was mostly re
publican. Hartigan led the attack, aad
was followed by Crites and Wise re
spectively. The audience was charac
teristic of Louisville, attentive, but
prone to independent thinking. Cut
forth saj a Hartigan got his speech from
J no. I. Roddick, and Capt. Howell says
Kediick get n from a speech delivered
by Mai in Indiana. So we concluded
that, as Nasby would say, the speech
alter all was intended really for Indi
ana rather than Louisville. The speak
er seemed verv much attached to "the
hero of Gettysburg," but was forced to
admit that Gen. Meade commanded tho
Union forces in that memorable con
flict. He should have gone farther and
told us that Hancock never held an in
dependent command, and never won a
victory. And, by the way, did not a
cannon ball strike a board fence, be
hind which our "hero" was standing,
and did he not retire to the hospital
about noon on tho second day of said
fight with a wound in his back, caused
by a board from said fence? The board
had a nail in it.
Hartigan charged that the republi
cans claim to have been the means of
the vast increase in our population,
and he attempted to prove that the
democrats did their share in that di
rection. We did not know before that
the republicans made any such claim,
but if it is so made, Louisville will not
go back on the claim, but will givo the
following as convincing and substan
tial proof that the claim is well taken:
Dr. Waterman, D. D. Martindale, J. It.
Toman, C. W. King, Murray Harrison.
Ben Hoover, Jas. Hoover, Ben Dorski,
Jno Savles. Will Bringman, W Rhodes,
Aaron Yonker, J. C. Newberry, Chris.
Inhelder, Harrison Hayes and W Clark
all sing to the tune of "Baby Mine."
Just think of it ! Sixteen republican
babies in ne little town, and wonder
ful as it may appear, there is not a sin
gle democratic baby here, nor any pros
pect till Ramsey gets married. Bio.
Hartigan, try that argument some
where else.
But "we must give Hartigan the cred
it due hira, and say that he did prove
rather conclusively that nearly nine
tenths of the Union soldiers were dem
ocrats, and that the republicans were
responsible for the National debt.
Bro. Crites speech was "gauzy." Iho
short time ho occupied in speaking was
mainly used in proving that Missouri
and Kentucky were more loyal than
Isew England. We think he could havo
done better if he had more time.
Bro. Wiso is surely the Nebraska
edition of Nasby. The burden of his
effort was an attack on the University.
According to his logic and evidently
ho never studied logic in any Univer
sity the B. & M. R. R. should ascer
tain up to date what it has cost per
car to transfer cars across the Missou

All the speakers agreed that Mc-

Grant it. and what becomes of our Cass
County Treasurer? Their crimes are

All agreed that TelTt's record in the
legislature is bad, but none had a word
to say publ'cly against Windham. liar
ttgan was frank enough to say some
things against him in private conver
sation, and Crites intimated that they
were collecting evidence against hiiu,
but nothinz was said publicly which
would indicate that they were not sat
isfied with his record. Now, why is it
thus? Do they intend to u? County
seat anrumenls against Tefl't, or do
they consider it dangerous to attack
the son-in-law f their Cass County

Look out for owindiing lightning
rod renders The recent electric bolt
which fell with such terrible results
on the house of Mr. Lackey, and the
fact that the building was not protect
ed by lightning conductors, will awak
en man', whose buildings are in a sim
ilar condition, to the necessity of pro
tecting them before the nnheralded
messenger enters their homes to de
stroy and sadden. The country will
soon swarm with unprincipled light
ning rod men, who. with their "blind
propositions" will delude and victim
ize the unsuspecting. We admit tho
protective powers of rods, but detest
the low class of swindlers who gener
ally engage in selling them. Hence we
warn our citizens not to deal with any
with whom they are not thorugly ac
quainted. We advise these wanting
rods to address Clark & Pankonin, at
Weeping Water. They aro honast men
and both residents of this County.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
A man by the name of Bryan was
run over by the cars at Louisville last
night and killed.
Several couples of riattsmouth
people went out to Mr. Warrant's last
Friday evening, and the people along
the road thought they were a badly
mixed crowd, as some wero hurrahing
for Garfield and others for Hancock
aud others for Weaver.
New houses and barns are going
up on nearly every farm throughout
the county, which shows our farmers
are prospering, and still soma people
are "howling" for a change. Voto for
Garfield & Arthur and you will con
tinue to prosper.

Our city schools opened last week
with a fair quota, which is continual
ly increasing. The number at starting
was 3C), and over COO have already re
ported. Prof. Love informs us that
"with the same rati of increase as last
year, there will be in tho neighborhood
of nine hundred during the winter
months. The present number averages
over fifty to a teacher, and this is cer!
tainly the limit which any one teacher
can do justice to. W e are giaa to se
the schools start in so auspiciously.
We neglected to make mention
last week of two very handsome bou
quets sent to us with the compliments
of Mrs. Pollock, and which as the re
sults of the first year of work in their
garden were truly astonishing. Great
pansies, heliotrope, roses, asters, gera
niums, and a great variety of other
blossoms, formed a lovely collection,
which enriched our vases for several
days, and which wo enjoyed the moro
as the season is fast approaching when
we cannot have them in such abundance.
Correction.
In the report of the Commissioners'
Proceedings last week an error occur
red. It states: "Twenty days' lieenp
was granted Cha3. Bielefeld of Louis
ville." It shoald be that action on said
license was laid over for 20 days. No
license is granted for 20 days, ever.
like to learn wherein Tefft's record is
worse than Windham's. The only dif
ference visible to us is that Windham
is one of Plattsmouth's young lawyers.
