HON. J. C. ALLEN during the
past term has proven himself au
able official , and republicans who
give him their votes for secretary
of state will be aiding in the elec
tion of one whose ability is un
questioned. His has filled his im
portant position with honor , and
will continue to do so , if he is
elected , as he undoubtedly will be.

WHEN the republican candidate
for congress , Mr. Andrews , was
first nominated the friends of the
calamity candidate snid their uu
would have a walk-away ai
would have at least 10.0C
majority. They have been comiu
down as the campaign progresse
until from 500 to 1,000 is aboi
the majority they claim. M
Andrews will need to make liii

that they will have to drop aboi

THE Topeka Capital is coi
viucedthat the vest pocket vet
for the Harrison electors ainou ,
the Kansas populists will be th
surprise of the election. It i
entirely safe to say that the sam
surprise awaits the third part ;
managers in this state. Ever
event of the campaign has con"
.spired to convince the third part *
people that the election of Weave
: ; is impossible and that a vote foi
> .him is in fact a vote for Cleveland
' "There are not many of the old line
. -republicans in the new party whc

fat man to the presidency again ,
and the Australian ballot makes a
vote for Harrison come easily and
. and naturally.
THE farmers of Nebraska have
* uo excuse for misunderstanding
" 'the political situation in the south.
-That section of the countrv has
w
thrown off the mask completely.
It favors the third party only as a
means of : drawing the north west
ern states out of the republican
'
line. The Jacksonville , ( Ela. )
Times Union says for the benefit
of its southern readers : "It be
comes more and more evident that
there is no more use for a third
party in this country than for a
fifth wheel to a wagon. But there
always will be third parties for
the accommodation of certain
classes of deluded people who are
bent 011 throwing away their
votes. " Third party votes are
thrown away in the south , but in
the north , especially in Nebraska
and Kansas , they are just as ser
viceable to the democracy as if
they were cast for the Cleveland
ejectors. Are the farmers of this
state determined to allow the
democrats to use them to rake the
Cleveland chestnuts out of the fire ?
Journal.
The Republican Pledges.
THE republican party of Ne
braska is committed by its platfonr
adopted by the last state conveu
tion , to certain practical reform
which it is presumed are desirei
by all the people of the state.
One of these is to provid
cheaper and better facilities festering
storing , shipping and marketing
the agricultural products of tin
state. Every farmer knows tha
at present the elevator and ware
house facilities , are not sufficien
and that their regulation is no
such as lo prevent unfairness am
discrimination. This is a veri
serious disadvantage to a largi
body of farmers and indeed is ai
injury to all of them. Ther <
should be enough elevator am
warehouse facilities to provide foi
everybody who finds it expedieni
to avail themselves of such facili
ties ; one farmer , whether a smal
or large producer , should have m :
equ.-il claim with every other upoi :
these facilities , and the charges
should be regulated by the state.
There is nu form of protection tc
the interests of the farmers oi
Nebraska that would be more
valuable to them than this.
The republican party having
ever been the friend of labor , Ne-
jraska republicans demand the
enactment of suitable laws to pro
tect the health , life and liuib of all
employes of transportation , min
ing and manufacturing companies
while engaged in the service of
such companies. There can be no
question or controversy regarding
the necessity for legislation of this
kind , and it should be made as
stringent as possible and be rigid
ly enforced. The indifference of
transportation , mining and manu
facturing companies all over the
country to the protection of the
liealth , life and limb of employes
sosts annually thousands of use
ful lives , with severe hardships to
Dthers , and the only way to remedy
; his state of atFairs is by stringent
egislatiou firmly enforced.
Another demand of the republi-
jaus of Nebraska is for the enact-
nent of laws regulating the rate
: harged by express companies
rithin the state , to the end that
iuch rates may be made reasou-
ible. The express charges in Ne-
> rasku are unreason ably high.
is no excuse or justincation
for the rates which express com
panies ask in this state , and they
ought to be reduced. If the com
panies will not do this , and there
is not the remotest possibility that
they will , the people must for
their own protection take hold of
the matter and compel a reduc
tion.
tion.Another
Another demand of Nebraska
republicans is for revision of the
revenue laws of the state. This
should be done by a commission
of capable persons representing the
principal industries. As now ad
ministered the revenue laws do
not operate equitably. Some
uj.pioptjrty BUDjecc 10 taxa
tion do not pay a just proportio :
of the public revenues , and thi
works injustice to other kinds o
property. The necessary bnrdei
of taxation for the support of th <
government should fall equally 01
all , and in order that this shall bi
so the revenue laws of the stati
must be revised.
The republicans of Nebrask *
are unqualifiedly pledged to pu
these reforms into effect if tht
people give them the power to d (
so. The proposed legislation con
templates practical advantages tc
the people of Nebraska of all
classes of the very highest impor
tance. There are no makeshifts ,
no impractical expedients , no de
lusive schemes of relief in the
Nebraska republican platform.
Everything it proposes can be ac
complished and would result in
great benefit to the people. The
success of the republican party
will insure the enactment of the
legislation which the people now
need and which are essential to
the material progress and pros
perity of the state. The success
of no other party will do so. If
the producers and wage earners of
Nebraska desire such laws for the
protection and promotion of their
interests as the republican party
is pledged to give them their
obvious duty is to support that
party. Bee.

A SOLDIER'S VIEW.
TO BE TA'/.EN OVER THE GRAVES
OF GETTYSBURG.
Tt'as Adlai Stevenson a Member of an
Order of Secret Traitors ? E'ld He Ce-
Jolco Over the Death of Lincoln ? Can
He DlsproYo This Affidavit ?
[ Special Corrcspondencfi. ]
GETTYSBURG , Sept. 5. Information
has been received here that the Union
Veterans' league is to hold a mass
meeting hero shortly to discuss the war
record of Adlai Stevenson , the vice
presidential candidate , who is charged
with membership in certain disloyal
orders during the war , also with selling
revolvers witli which to resist the draft
and intimidate Union men , and with
publicly rejoicing over the assassination
of Lincoln.
The league , it is learned , has Borne
very damaging proof of the chargea
which have been so freely made , and
old soldiers make no hesitation in saying
that unless he can impeach the accuracy
of affidavits already made he will not
get a vote from the Union veterans of
the late war.
Tt is remarked as especially curions ,
not to say unfortunate , for the Demo
cratic party that both their candidates
on the ticket served by substitute in the
war. And it may be added that it does
not please the old soldiers who visit this
Bacred spot and whose opinions are thus
readily learned.
CONVINCING PROOF OF THE ACCURACY
OF THE CHARGES.
Among the affidavits which are to bo
produced here are the following , some
of which have been already published ,
but not disproved :
State of Illinois. McLean county , ss. :

iforc&aid , on oath , deposes and says that he

uary , 1866 , and during that time was editor
md proprietor of the Woodford Sentinel , a pa-
> er published at Metamora. in the state of Illl-
lois and county of Woodford , and during all
hat time was personally acquainted and po-
itically associated with Adlai E. Stevenson ;

ae said Knights or Sons of Liberty , held in
lie city of Springfield. Ills. , on the 18th and
fth days of June. 1664 , and that Adlai E. Ste-
enson was a delegate to said state council
om the lodge or order of the bamo from the
junty of Woodford ; that the said Adlai E.

been done sooner , and that said Adlai E.
Stevenson admitted to affiant , in conversation
with him on the subject , that he had so stated
in regard to the death of Lincoln ; that affiant
further says that at the said council at Spring
field , Ills. , on June 16 and 17,1864. there were
1-resent General James Singleton , Johnson and
Sheehan , of Lincoln. Ills. ; James S. Ewing , of
Bloomington , Ills. , with a number of other
Democratic politicians , besides delegates from
lodges and circles from almost every county in
the state ; that affiant avers that the order of
American Knights or Sons of Liberty were
organizations similar In their character to the
order known as the Knights of the Golden Cir
cle , and affiant was informed by the organiz
ing agent , W. G. Ewlng , that said organization
stood in the same relation to the north that the
Knights of the Golden Circle did to the south ;
that affiant was present at the organization of
three or four lodges or circles in the county of
Woodford , Ills. , when the same were organized
by the special agent , W. G. Ewing. All said
meetings were held In secret , with closed doors
and darkened windows , and were especially
antagonistic to the Union leagues , and were
organized for the purpose of offsetting the in
fluence of that organization.
WILLIAM B. WHIFFES.
Several prominent- citizens of Meta
mora Z. H. Whitmire , Isaac Wickoff ,
J. W. Ellis , Elijah Plank , T. D. Wai-
den , William Mitchell , F. F. Briggs and
C. Niles by nume certify to the good
standing and reliability of Mr. Whiffen.
We reproduce the following letter
from the Tiffin ( O. ) Tribune :
The affidavit of Parker Gardner , of Wabash ,
Ind. , in reference to Adlai E. Stevenson , Demo
cratic candidate for vice president , is true to
the letter. I was a resident of Wilson town
ship , De Witt county. Ills. , in 1862 , and was
well acquainted with Mr. Gardner , also with
Ellsworth and Spratt. Mr. Gardner's state
ment can bo backed up by such men as Dr. T.
W. Davis , J. K. Davis , O. T. Gear and many
others of Wapella , Ills. It is a fact that this
man Stevenson did travel through De Witt
county in the year above mentioned selling
revolvers to his copperhead friends to be used
to intimidate Union men and to resist the
draft. I am willing to make this statement
under oath at any time if necessary.
S. H. TAYLOR ,
Late First Sergeant , Company I , One Hun
dred and Fifty-fourth Illinois V. I.
Mr. Stevenson's defense of his war
record and denial of the accusations
brought against him under oath have
been merely verbal and informal. It is
time he were coming to the front with
an affidavit if he can afford it.
American Tin Plate.
Official reports from the treasury de
partment present some hard nuts for
free traders to crack in regard to the
tin plate industry. Special Agent Ayer
has just made public another report. In
it he brings down the tin plate industry
to June 30 , 1892 , and a wonderful show
ing it is. During the'first quarter of
the year only five persons were engaged
in the business , in the second quarter
eleven firms were engaged , in the third
quarter twenty were engaged , and at
the close of the fourth quarter twenty-
sis concerns were making tin plate ,
with a probability of at least eight new
names to be added to the list by the
close of the present quarter.
In the same way the product is rapidly
increasing and the amount for the year
will notbe far short of 20,000,000 pounds.
Less than 1,000,000 pounds of tin and
terno plates were made in the first quar
ter of the last fiscal year , and more than
B.000,000 pounds in the last quarter.
Ifhis is a showing that should make the
tn plate liar hnn his head for shame.

IF THE republicans of Nebraska
will give a long pull , a strong pull
and a pull altogether , as they say
at sea , they will reclaim the state
by a handsome plurality. A reg
ular republican revival is in prog
ress in north west Nebraska and en
thusiasm for Harrison , Crounse
and the republican ticket is grow
ing nioie intense as the campaign
progresses. Bee.
PRESIDENT HEUREAUX , who pro
poses to the United States to
hypothecate the bones of Christo
pher Columbus on a loan of § 100- ,
000 , is wasting his time in San

at once and take the next steame

and resources wouldn't live in th

NEW YORK is surprising tin
country by the magnificence of it
Columbian celebration. It is en
tering into the affair with a wholi
hartedness and an indifference tc
expense which is not often witness
ed east of the Alleghanies. O
course there is much in the occa
sion to inspire enthusiasm anc
spontaneity , and it is pleasant t (
observe that these qualities are no
wholly monopolized by the greal
west. The creditable manner it
which the Knickerbocker metropo
lis is acquitting herself this wee !
encourages the belief that she maj
finally divest herself entirely oi
her provincial habits and become
thoroughly cosmopolitan in hei
spirit.
