J. P. SQUIUE. MEN and brethren , just compare the republican and democratic state tickets. THE rankest bourbon will find but little in his state ticket to enthuse over. But then they will probably an swer the purpose. Few men care to stand up. but to be knocked down. TriE great unwashed met and resolv ed , at Hastings , last week. About the most prominent feature of the plat form adopted is the anti-temperance plank the usual bid for the saloon vote. . .AND Dick Thompson was nominated for Tsecretary of state ! Well , permit uso smile. Gazette-Journal. 'YOUR humble prayer is allowed , brother. Let it be a long , loud , broad cynical one , though , expressive enough to covdr the case. AFTER a careful and prayerful con sideration of the matter , we are con strained to the judgment that the only adequate punishment that can be in flicted upon our erring brother of the Courier is to be kicked to death by a mule. The only objection to this mode is sympathy for the long-pared quadruped. THE independent republicans of the 56th representative district have select ed Col. S. H. Henderson , of Frontier count } * , as their standard bearer. The Colonel is represented as a gentleman of marked ability and general excel lence of pnitp , and it is conceded that he will make a strong run in the coun ties of Frontier and Gosper , as well as in western Hitchcock county. THE leading issue of the bourbons in this campaign in Nebraska is the beer barrel. One cannot but admire the as surance of a party that dares make a bid for the suffrages of honest , intelli gent men on such an issue. The de mocracy is , however , specially and pe culiarly constituted for the effort. There is doubtless some inscrutable , providential purpose in the existence of the party. Probably a solemn warning for the coming generations. IT pains us to observe the brilliant young paragrapher who presides over the "Topics of the Times" on the Lin coln Journal since Calhoun's abdica tion , go into such a foolish delirium over a truistie chestnut given utter ance in our last issue but one , relative to the blue-stocking Presbyterianism which prevails in the Journal's general policy. While on the other hand it affords us a little pleasure to give him some pabulum to digest , notwithstand ing he performs the latter operation in unreasonable and dis a most illogical , courteous manner , hardly to be expect ed from "the leading paper of the state. " LIST OF AWARDS. Below we give a list of the prem iums awarded at the late fair. The list is made up from the committee reports , just as those reports were handed into the Secretary of 'the fair association. We desire to state that many of the ex hibits were neverentered upon the sec retary's books , and if the list contains errors in names and exhibits , as it doubtless does , they are traceable to the fact that the reports were not al ways written as legibly as they might have been , and the clerks were unable to decipher accurately.
