We need a conservative man for president , who will establish confidence and friendly relations abroad , promote the general welfare of the great common people at home and place the American republic at the head of all countries in peace and har mony among its people , who with voice and example will bring peace upon earth and good will toward men. W. E. Hearst , of New York , is being indorsed by people in sever al states at their county conven tions and delegates are being in structed for Hearst for the demo cratic presidential candidate in state conventions. Nevertheless Judge- Alton B. Parker , of New York , seems to be the leading can didate inlNew York and indications are that he will have the New York delegation at St. Louis to back him.It is possible that the two leading candidates being from New York .there will be a clash and that it will take other states to decide in which case the man who is most popular in other states will decide as to the nominee. But in case that neither of these candidates will giye way to the other a new man may be chosen as a compro mise candidate. Who will it be ? Will it be Gen. Miles ? John C. Sprecher in Iris Schuy- ler Free tance in speaking of the wresting of the fair state of Ne braska from the fusion forces by the unscrupulous republican schemers says : "The question which then comes into ones mind is what good did that political up rising do ? " Do" ? Great Heaven and all that is good and holy ! Do ! The fusion forces snatched Nebras ka from the most foul set of scoun drels who ever disgraced this or any other land on earth ; exposed Bartley , Moore and a host of ig noble thieves , embezzlers and ras cals ; gave to our state -the only honest administration ver known in Nebraska since-territorial times mark well our words "the only honest administration , " etc. , for we have been an eye witness on the ground and know whereof we speak , and have been personally acquainted with every territorial and state officer ever chosen in Ne braska. If we are not telling the truth let some g. 0. p. paper point out where we are in error. . Then the fusion forces produced some great and honored men and thous ands of them in the common ranks who stood as embattled warriors in the mighty conflict for better and purer government among mankind. We will mention a few of the names which are engravened upon the eternal walls of Time in glittering letters of ever lasting glory , there to live on and on and forever shine upon the fairest1 pages of our country's history : W. J. Bryan , Judge Holcomb , Senator Allen , W. H. Thompson , , Congressman Kobinson , J. B. Vif- quain , Patrick Barry , M. F. Har rington , Smyth , Metcalf , Hitch cock , ' Beck , Freeman , Sullivan , ' Gov. Poynter , Powers and a host of other like illustrious and noble men. The fusion forces did every thing that could be done for the betterment of the people.

Gorman of Maryland is not in the race nor is Grover Cleveland , though his name is being promi nently mentioned and some dele gates are being instructed for him in the east. The choice of western people will be Hearst first if he can carry equal delegations at home or in states in the East , with other candidates showing that he has sufficient strength to carry N. Y. and the vote that most generally - . ally goes with New York's candi date. Nebraska will support Hearst and give him a better vote than to any other candidate but would give good and loyal support to either Judge Parker or General Miles. While our choice would matter little in this contest , since Nebraska will not be a deciding state nor materially change the re sult either way she might happen to go , we nevertheless voice the sentiment for honest administra tion of affairs as believed in by the people who ma KB up the conserva tive element of our country , who would not plunge into war with foreign nations upon slight provo cation nor remain idle while ruin ous policies were being pursued by strenuous and volatile minded persons in power.

The village election went quietly from morning to night. 271 votes were cast and everybody voted that wanted to , excepting a few whom Pettijohn questioned re garding a homestead that they seemed to be holding down and that , they preferred to protect in preference to voting in opposition to Pettijohn. M. V. Nicholson and P. F. Simons were re-elected by big majorities. The vote stood : Nicholson. . .160 Simons 161 Christensen.lll Stetter 110 The baby that was reported born- to Mrs. Homer Tait two weeks ago and corrected last week to Mrs. Wm. Lee , we now desire to correct again and this time have it correct from Mr. Campbell that the child was born to Mrs. Silas Sears on who is a sister of Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Tait and all three are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Campbell of this city. We a re sorry to have blundered so much in this , but since these women are sisters we hope they will over look the blunder. This is one of the unpleasant experiences of newspaper life where we get only meagre reports of a happening at Srst and later learn that we are wrongly informed. W'dcliiig Bells.
