The County Republican Central
Committee, in pursuance to call pub
lished in the Joukxal, met in this
city Saturday last, and by unani
mous vote placed in nomination for
County Clerk, James Pearsall of this
place. Mr. Pearsall was born in
Prince Edwards county, Ontario,
Canada, May 27th, 1S12, aud is con
sequently in his thirty-eighth year.
He came to Nebraska, settling in
Columbus, Oct. 7, 1S73. For two
years preceding, he tilled the office
of baililTto the County Court, at his
old home, an office similar in its
duties to our sheriff. In the dis
charge of this office he gave very
general satisfaction. Since he came
to Nebraska, Mr. Peai sail has been
engaged in his occupation as car
penter, and for integrity, industry,
aud good habits generally ranks
with the best men among us. He is
a good scholaraud an excellent pen
man, and if elected to the office will
be a credit to himself and tho county,
not only in the method of keeping
his record", but also in his gentle
manly bearing towaids those who
may have business to transact with
him. There is no reason why he
should not receive the entire and
very cordial support of the Re
publican party of old Platfe, for
Pearsall is a staunch Republican,
true to his principles, and unwav
ering. COJ Tliuir lilKlSlillg-.
Some of the Democratic candi
dates arc boasting that the contest
with them is not for election, but is
a question of majorities, that is, they
want the greatest majority they
ever had. This boasting sounds
vciy harshly on Republican ears,
especially when it is remembered
that these majorities have been
mainly the result of Republican
vote. Importunity in electioneer
ing (a quality that Platte county,
Democratic candidates generally
have in superabundance ought not
to induce Republicans to abandon
their own ticket to defeat, and, we
feci assured that it will not this tiino.
These candidates will tell you now
that "politics"' shouldn't enter into
the consideration of county office,
but after election, they always crow
over the result as a Democratic yic
torv. all the panic, and so it has
always been. Wo can point out
several prominent Republicans who
have. Eiipported Democrats for office,
but where is there a prominent
Democrat who has voted for a Re
publican? That is against their
principles. Of course they couldn't
think of that. Slop voting fur then',
and they will stop erowiug over
Democratic victories aud Republican
defeats in Platte county. Slop vot
ing for them, and you will have the
atiractiou of seeing Platte county
fall into line with the stalwart Re
publieaniMit of the Stale and the
nation. Slop voting for them, and
your conscience will not accuse you
of leaving the standard bearers of
your parly in the lurch and going
over lo the enemy, simply because
that enemy asks you lo do'so. Stop
voting forihem, now aud henceforth,
aud our county may take her proper
place in the Republican councils of
the Slate.

Columbus, Oct. 13, "79.
En. Joukxal:--Tbc atleuiion of
the County Commissioners is called
in the Era of Oct. llth, to the law
aud duty incumbent on them, in the
control and management of the
county's property and funds, as re
gards persons that come within the
meaning of tho law as paupers, the
Era claiming that there are persons
receiving support who are not lit
subjects to receive support as pau
pers, and refers to one sick woman
whose husband has property, men
tal aud physical ability to abund
antly care for and support her.
Now as I am one of the actors in
this matter whose attention is called,
1 wish to say, right here, that the
Commissioners meetings are, by
law, held with open doors; that all
dissatisfied or interested persons,
who have the welfare of the county
at heart, are cordially invited by me
to attend aud investigate questions
and measures brought before the
Board for their action and decision.
Their opinions aud advice will be
entertained and acted on, if ihey are
considered feasible and proper.
People are apt to give opinions on
matters of which they have only a
superficial view or understanding,
which is wrong and does an injus
tice to the persons interested. I
commend Ilensley, however, for his
interest and seeming good-will to
ward the Commissioners, since I
have occupied a scat in that body,
two things which I am free to admit
I did not expect, but Ilensley, you
know, is often hasty in forming his
opinions, and therefore frequently
wrong. If he will read the Statute,
page oil, sectiou 3, rhapter ,"i. he
nill .see that the Co. Commissioners
have Ihc legal right to care for ihi
woman of whom be speaks.

Dear JornxAi. : Would wiite
otiener if news items were not so
scare, but we have had one worth
mention and that is I he marriage of
Win. Stevcus' daughter Ida to Ho
ratio, only sou of T. 11. Sanders,"all
the partie of Richland and well
known in Columbus. I am not good
iu describing ladies' dress, but will
say the bride was dressed in good
tiistc and her sister Hell and Miss
IJrooks (of Columbus) were the
bridesmaids and looked very nice in
white. Rev. Flehartj officiated, aud
mauy friends present (among which
was "your correspondent) wirJicd the
happy couple much joy, and after
wards at down to a lira! -class
supper. The time passed pleasantly
with music, clc, and all left, reeling
plcat-ed with ihe event of the even
ing and the hospitality of liic-nd
Steveus.
Rv the way, the sale or goods on
Ihc bid Rcll rarmlTlh last month,
conducted by our jolly friend, John
Huber, was a success, as indeed all
his sales are. John has such a hap
py way aud f uch a lund of humor
that he almost forces people to buy,
and he kept up a perpetual stream
or fun during the whole or the sale.
Friend Huber reminds oiie or
Shakespeare's character "FallstafT"
in his proportions aud jolly visage.
Prices obtained were good, particu
larly on hogs, one stock hog pur
chased by Chas. Kohler briugiug
23.25 ; cows averaged over $30, and
horses fair prices; yearling calves
brought good priccsalso.
Most of our people arc taking
good precautions agaiust prairie
fires this year; Ave don't want a
repetition of last years disasters;
the damage done then was very
great and will long be remembered.
Wheat has not turned out very
well as a rule here, the yield being
generally light, although of good
quality; but the corn crop is im
mense, iu fact a-maize-'mg. I never
saw so much corn beef-ovo here.

Jason Smith) lately presented her

pretty as a picture.

For the Joukxal.
Democracy.
Iu this world there arc many
strange things. Among these is the
many attitudes assumed by the dem
ocratic party. While every demo
cratic platform declares that their
principles are unalterably fixed, and
that they believe iu the old laud
marks of the fathers, it is reserved
to the Nebraska Democrats to place
a platform before the people of such
nature that it is called 4,The Plat
form." The 4th resolution of what
the Era publishes as the platform,
says :
"That the right of the free ballot
is the great right or the American
people, the right preservative or all
other rights the only means or re
dressing grievances aud reforming
abuses. The presence of the mili
tary at the polls, and of.a host of
hii cling officials claiming the power
to arrest aud imprison voters with
out warrant or hearing, destroys all
freedom of election and overturns
the very foundation of self-government.
We call upon all good citi
zens to aid us in preserving our
institutions from destruction by
these imperious methods of super
vising the right of suffrage and
coercing the popular will, and in
keeping the way lo the ballot-box
open and free as it wa? to our
fathers'
Now, if you will put this aside of
the platform aud action or the Dem
ocratic party ol Yazoo, Mis"., you
can readily perceive why the Sra
calls the above ''the platform' The
Era nor no other democratic paper,
would dare call anything iu which
such a resolution as this we quote as
part of a Democratic platform, as it
lias not sufficient stretch to it. It
such a thing would do for a demo
cratic platform in the quiet State of
Nebraska, it would not suit the
shot-gun bulldozers of Mississippi.
How convenient this, "tho plat
form." Nobody but a' party which
has always lo be on the alert for
ways and means to delude the peo
ple, could or would have thought of
"the platform," as the means to
accomplish their ends, by bringing
iu the glittering generalities) embod
ied in what they call "the platform'
How truthful, too, they state the
case. The presence ol " the lawful
officers at the polls, with the right to
arrest and imprison voters has a
tendency lo destroy the freedom of
electiou, as democrats look at elec
tion:. Did it ever occur to a demo
crat that when Napoleon, the third,
issued his order culled the plebiscite,
to the people of France, by which
the people were lo vote for presi
dent and thai they could vote for
whom ihey pleased, but that Ihc
Emperor expected that their health
and finances would largely depend
on their voting for Napoleon, had
auything lo remind Ihem of the
plain purposes or aims of the pres
ent democratic party? The leaders
or the democrats arc not at all de
luded. It is only the effort or these
men to delude the people that they
make platforms, which they dare not
call democratic but dub "the'' so that
it may fit in Nebraska and be chang
ed to the South or East. The right
of free ballot is of course the right
of every American citizen, who has
attempted to prevent this right?
Did Republicans anywhere, or sit
any time resort lo red shirts and
shot guns to contravene this right?
Have Republicans ever been accused
or preventing the people, from vot
ing for whom and lor what Ihey
pleased? Democrats have never
been foolhardy enough to charge
this lo the Republican, part-. On
Ihc other hand the Democrats have
murdered men, slaughtered women,
killed children, burned negroes, des
troyed churches, and reviled religion
to prevent men from voting, and
from all theso crime.-, with the gore
of many murders, reeking with tho
blood of wive, children and men,
and
With dissimulation sehoolrd to grace
A dcuT. purpose with au angel's lace,
cry out we want to "Keep tho way
to the ballot box open and free, as it
was to onr fathers."
