congressional , Holdrege , Tuesday ,
August 30th ; senatorial , McCook ,
Friday , August , 26th.
THE members of the Republican
Federation of Nebraska newspa
permen will meet in the Lincoln
hotel , Lincoln , on the evening of
August 9th , for the election of
officers and other business.
THE call for the Republican sen
atorial convention for the 29th dis
tricfc appears in this issue. The
Republican papers of the distric
are requested to publish the same
at once and until the convention
date.
PEACE negotiations with Spain
are progressing very slowry. Mean
while operations against Porto Ri
co are being pushed vigorously
and in earnest. Shafter's men are
being brought north as rapidly as
circumstances will permit to camp
under healthier surroundings.
IN taking care of the great small
grain crop , the selection of a can
didate for senator from this district
must not be lost sight of. THE
TRIBUNE calls attention o the fact
that a good , strong candidate will
win in this district , this fall , and
the Republicans of the district
should be casting about for such a
man to place in nomination for
that office.
R. P. HIGH of Lebanon was in
town , Monday , feeling the public
pulse in regard to his candidacy I
for the nomination for commis
sioner of public lands and build
ings.before the state convention.
Mr. High has been a Republican
who has stuck to his post and Fur-
nas count } ' will probably be glad
to extend to him the courtesy he
deserves. "Wilsouville Review.
THE death of Prince .Bismarck re
moves from the scenes of time one
of the colossal figures of the nine
teenth ceuturv and one of the most
r
imposing of all times. Great to
the limit of the immortal , yet not
beloved by all peoples like Glad
stone who preceded him but re
cently , the Iron Chancellor has
written his name in imperishable
characters on the pages of the
world's history.
AFTER an all night session , the
Fusiouists placed in nomination
the following state ticket , Wednes
day of this week : Governor , W.
A. Poynter of Booue county ; Lieu
tenant Governor , E. A. Gilbert of
York county ; Secretary of State ,
Wm. F. Porter of Merrick county ;
Auditor of Public Accounts , John
F. Cornell of Richardson county ;
State Treasurer , John B. Meserve
of Red Willow county ; Superin
tendent of Public Instruction , Wil
liam R. Jackson of Holt county ;
Commissioner Public Lands , Jacob
V. Wolfe of Lancaster county ; At
torney General , Constantine J.
Smyth of Douglass county.
VIGOROUS , PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
The Williamsport ( Peuna. ) In
dex recently took occasion to make
some odious comparisons between
Captain Bob Evans and Captain
Philip , to which Bob replies in
the following vigorous and manly
style , which recommends itself to
the editor of THE THIBUNE as be
ing about to the point :
"I beg to acknowledge the re
ceipt today of a copy of your paper
which you have been good enough
to send me.
"I am somewhat at a loss to
know whether you sent it for the
purpose of calling my attention to
the cuss words attributed to me in
the newspapers , or to Captain
Philip's official show of Christian
spirit in announcing to his men on
the quarter-deck of the Texas , after
the battle of Santiago , that he be
lieved in Almighty God. As , how
ever , you have seen fit to drag my
name into your newspaper , I hope
that you will publish this reply
that those who have read your is
sue of July 15th may also read
what I have to say about it.
' I have never considered it nec
essary , and I am sure that a great
majority of officers in the navy do
not consider it necessary to an-
nouuce to their crews that they
"believe in Almighty God. " I
think that goes without saying.
We , of course , have the right to
show by our acts how much we are
imbued with this belief. Captain
Philip had a perfect right to show
this to his men as he did ; it was
simply a matter of taste.
"Now , for myself , shortly aiter
the Spanish cruiser , Vizcaya , had
struck her colors , and my crew
had secured the guns , the chaplain
of the ship , an excellent man , came
to me and said : "Captain , shall ]
say a few words of thanks to Al
mighty God for our victory ? " . '
said : "By all means do so. I wil
have the men sent aft for that pur
pose , " and was on the point of do
ing so when it was reported to me
that a Spanish battlship was stand
ing toward us from the eastward.
My first duty to my God and my
country was to sink this Spanish
battleship , and 1 immediately made
preparations to do so. When it
was discovered that this ship was
an Austrian , I found my ship sur
rounded by boats carrying dying
and wounded prisoners and others
of the crew of the Vizcaya to the
number of 200. To leave these
men to suffer for want of food and
clothing while Tcalled my men aft
to offer prayers , was not my idea
of either Christianity or religion. I
preferred to clothe the naked , feed
the hungry and succor the sick ,
and I arn strongly of the opinion
that Almighty God has not put a
black mark against me on account
of it.
"I do not know whether I shall
stand with Captain Philip among t :
che first chosen in the hereafter ,
ant I have this to say in conclu
sion , that every drop of blood in
ny body on the afternoon of the li
; hird of July was singing thanks
uid praise to Almighty God for
; he victory we had won. "
THE winning county ticket will
36 named tomorrow. Wait for to-
norrow.
