Tlic Campaign.
The Republicans of Nebraska hf
generally considered that a sin
lively, decisive campaign is Ik
The State being overwheltniu;
Republican, it has never occurred i
the party to do anything with special
reference to success.
The usual programme may be car
ried out next Wednesday, but no
man has yet been able to predict
with infallible certainty the action
of a political convention, and it is
among the possibilities, if not the
probabilities, that the "even tenor''
may be broken in upon.
If the convention determines not
to ignore the constitution aud the
law on the choice of U. S. senator,
then we shall probably have the
liveliest gathering ever held in the
State. It will be safe to predict that
it will be highly interesting, because
a nomination may almost be con
sidered as equivalent to election.
It has been evident all along that
what is generally recognized as rail
road political influence has opposed
the nomination of Senator, but
whether, in the meantime, they have
not been very active in securing del
egations of their own to the State
convention, to nominate whom they
will, remains to bo seen. It looks to
us, now, as though the question of
division will be. Shall we iiomhmtn
n tt c c5 o., !.
osition we believe the ayes will have
it by a large majority. They cer
tainly will if the delegates chosen,
fairly represent the will of the
people.
Taking it for granted that a Sena
tor will be nominated, will not that
fact and the additional fact of nam
ing the man cause not a little com
motion among those who have
planned a campaign ?
It appears to bo conceded that the
present incumbents of State offices
cannot all be renominated, and
where the inroad shall stop, if 6top
at all, may become an interesting
inquiry.
The air is fuller than usual of
plots and counterplots, and while
we plead our utter inability to see
what the result will be, we hope
that the convention and the ticket
will be overwhelmingly right and
sound.
Eiieut. Gov. Cams.
The Reporter, a Republican paper
published at Seward, the home of
Lieut. Gov. Cams, contains, in the
issue of Aug. 12th, a grave charge
against the Lieut. Gov. and also
Land Commissioner Davis. The
substance of it is that Cams claims
title to a half section of school land
near the city of Seward, as assignee
of D. N. Smith. At the time Cams
bought of Smith only one-tenth of
the principal had been paid, and
two yearB' interest on the balance of
the purchase price was delinquent.
The title of Smith, under a law of
1877 was forfoited to the State, and
should have been, by the Commis
sioner of school lauds, so declared,
and the land resold at. public sale in
Juno 78. The Reporter says :
"But Land Com. Davis, instead of
putting it up at public sale, permit
ted Mr. Cams to acquire it m ' r
assignment from Smith, and to pay
up for it at 6 per cent., and also
allowed Mr. Cams a credit of about
$700, being part of forfeited pay
ments made by one J. U. Loomis,
for interest on a mirchaso of 420
acreB of school land in section 16,
town 10, range 3, Cams having an
assignment from Loomis of his claim
to said land iu section 16. Loomis,
at the time he assigned to Cams,
was delinquent for over two years
iu payment of interest due on his
purchase of the land in section 16,
which was also forfeited to the state
under the Fchool law above cited.
Mr. Cams thus acquired a half
section of valuable lands at about
$6.00 per acre, wine would have
sold for $12.00 or $13.0U . r acre at
the public sale in June, 1878, parties
then being ready to start the bid
ding at $10.00 per acre. The school
fund shou'd have realized $4,000 for
this land in-'nad of $2,000, aud the
school fund wo1 'd have been ahead
$2,00!' 'nstead ol i'. Lieut.GoTernor.
Now if this transaction is all
straight ai-1 authorized by law, if
nearly ono-lr f of the interest paid
on purchases of school land into the
temporary school fund cau be bought
up by speculators, two years after it
has become forfeited under the law,
and again used to pay interest on
other school lands purchased bj
such speculators, it is time the peo
ple knew it, so that the next legis
lature may repeal such an odious
law. And if this deal is not lawful,
the public should likewise be en
lightened upon the nature of this
transaction, for reasons quite obvi-
t.s to the Commissioner and Lieut.
Governor, who are candidates for
re-election.
And if this transaction is "crook
ed," how many more like transac
tions have these gentlemen "cooked"
up throughout the state? Informa
tion on the above matters is asked
for by one who is interested iu hav
ing all parties in the coining election
give us a square deal."
A young man named "Waldron
was arrested the other day by the
Sheriff at Sunnyside, Ga., who had
run away from there two weeks
previous and went to Atlanta, taking
with him a girl twelve years old, hi?
wife's sister. A posse overpowered
the sheriff, took the prisoner, and
what they did to him can better be
imagined than expressed in word?.
Last week Fred. Gentner went
into the saloon of Martin Hassett at
Philadelphia,and some trouble arose
between them about paying for the

Hassett, when the latter leaned ovr
the bar and struck Gentner a pow
erful blow, knocking him to the
floor. Gentner went to his home
amd died shortly afterwards.

The Knights Templar encamp
ment on the lake shore the other
day at Chicago looked strange and
picturesque. From the exposition
building south of Park Row, a dis
tance of about one mile, the ground
was completely covered with tents
of the regular army pattern. Facing
Hub warlike array on the west, were
tho beautiful residences of Michigan
avenue, many of which were hand
somely decorated, while the camp
looked eastward upon Lake Mich
igan, many trains of cars which
passed to and fro on the lake front
alone shut out the lake from sight.
Continuous lines of carriages and
pode&trians passed along the front
of the encampment, dividing their
attention between the military show
and the display of bunting and Ma
sonic emblems, which everywhere
predominated.
Wm. Copley, a little boy of Oma

rooms for some needles one day last

wind storm came up and the boy
running home passed a section of
board walk that had been taken up
and was propped at one side of the
pavement, and it is supposed that
the wind blew the board walk
aguinst him, crushed him to the
earth and held him there until the
waters gathered under the boards
Mid drowned him. The water at
ti-it point had been two feet deep.
When found life was extinct, and
hn Loy held in his clenched hand
he needles he had been sent for.

the view of purchasing a farm near

walked out one morning last week
and took with him a double-barreled
shot gun unnoticed by his fr.'onds at
Omaha, und some of them becoming
uneasy, search was made, and after
some time his dead body was found
revealing the fact that he had dis
charged the contents of one of tho
barrels of the gun into his head.
The man was certainly of unsound

salary as Auditor, has not yet been

If his claim is decided legal ex

The endeavor of the Omaha lltrald

A dispatch from Darnstablc.
Mass., of the 18th says that the
naked and terribly mutilated body
of Mary Caisady, aged ten years,
was found in a brush-heap iu the
woods. The head was nearly sev
ered from the body, and in tho
child's side was a large butcher

who so fearfully assaulted and mur
dered her.
Gaixegh and Valdex, two Mex
icans, were recently arrested for the
murder of S. Duprer, a sheep owner
iu Southern Colorado. Thoy con
fessed to the murder, and admitted
that they obtained twelve hundred
dollars in money, a check for $125,
several nost-ortice orders, two hors
es, wagon and other cJFects. One of
the Mexicans shot him while asleep,
tho other standing by with an ax,
ready to afford assistance, if nec
essary. Recent heavy rains in the vicin
ity of Glendone, a village in Don
egal county, Ireland, swept down

and several persons were swept
away while attempting to escape.
Great damage was done to proper
ty, and fifteen persons were
reported drowned on tho 17th.
Xf.veij in tho history of this
country was such a tremondous vic
tory for a "free ballot and full count"
won as that 75,000 Democratic ma
jority in Alabama. Wc are, there
fore, surprised that our Democratic
friends do not say more about it,
and magnify their tremendous moral
vindication of the principle of the
free and full ballot against the
method of gathering votes with
bavonets. Lincoln Journal.
A statement from 2sew York
last week gives large movements of
grain and provisions on the canals,
and the remunerative freight paid is
pronounced by members of the Pro
duce Exchange, a revival of activity
beyond anything known for many

the movement on canals since they
opened until August 14th, is fully
thirty per cent, greater than for the
same time last year.
In Hong Kong the question of
war or peace with Russia remains
undecided. Chinese diplomats re
fuse to give any sign, but are ner
vous as to the positiou of European
governments respecting threatened
hostilities, and are especially anx
ious regarding the United States.
They are counseled on ail 6ides to
effect a peaceable settlement. The
war party appears to be in the as
