AL15EKT J. ARNOLD,
The caudultttu lor bucrill was born
in Steuben Co., N. Y., August 23d,
1SJ1. lie had the usual experience
of American boys and young men,
aud at the uge of twenty-six, follow
ing Greeley's advice, camu west to
grow up with tho country, lie has,
over since, lived in the west, and has
had a little more than the usual
varied experience of western men.
We follow him briefly. In June,
1S57, ho first came to Columbus, and
has considered this his home ever
since. Iu the spring of 1S5S he
moved here, taking charge of the
Clcvclai d House ( now the Ham
mond House) which was then loca
ted on the 8ite oi "Cleveland" east of
G. W. Steveus'a place. In lSiiS he
charge of the ferry across the Loup,
which was, at that time, a crossing
for all ot the overland travel goiiig
this way to Utah, California and
other western points. To show the
extent of the work done by tho fer
rymen it is only necessary to refer
to the fact that iu March, 1859, when
they put on a now boat, there were
live hundred teams ready to cross.
This was the year of the great ex
citement concerning the discovery
of gold at Tike's Peak, and all had
caught a good share of the fever, iu
May of that year, ho quit his boat
and went to the new eldorado, re
turning iu the fall, and going back
again in tho spring of 1SG0 accom
panied by his brother, E. W., and by
J. E. North. In ISO! ho eutered the
Indian service, being commissioned
by Gov. Saunders as first lieutenant
ol O. P. Mason's battalion. In Au
gust, lSG-i, he was put in command
of Co. C, 7th Iowa Cavalry. He did
splendid bervice in the engagements
against the Sioux at Plum Creek,
and in the Republican Valley and
Smoky Jl ill country, also at Ash
Hollow where twenty-five lodges of
Sioux under Two Face- were sur
rendered. The same winter he acted
as scout for a party of soldiers iu a
campaign against the Sioux. About
this lime he whs appointed assist
U. S. 1'rovost Marshal lor Nebras
istant
iska,
with headquarters at Kearney City,
which position he held till the close
of the war, doiug his duty fully and
satisfactorily, often under very try
ing circumstances. Iu 1SG7 he be
came deputy sshcriffof Platte county,
under C. D. Clothcr, which position
he filled, till he himself became
sberilT in 1S70. Iu 1S73 he was
elected a member of tho legislature,
and there made his mark, as he
always diJ, for the energy of his
character. Ho is thoroughly cour
ageous, acts upon his own convic
tions, fears nothing and has no
friends to save from punishment as
criminals. ThcbC aro the qualities
requieile in a sherill", in addition to
the fact that ho knows very thor
oughly the duties of the office.
joiix w. EARLV
the caudidato for treasurer, was born
in Columbiana county, Ohio, in ISM.
He received the education common
to liuckcyc boys iu those days, at
tho district schools ; when 17, lie en
listed in the service agaiust the
llebels, johnug the 19th Ohio. He
served valiantly in many engage
ments of tho war, including the ter
rific battles of Shiloh, Franklin and
Stone Hirer. After his time was
out he re-enlisted in tho 101th regi
ment, serving 2'2 years, and was
afterwards in the government em
ploy until 1SG5. In '07 he came to
Nebraska, Platte county, and engag
ed iu farming for seven yearn, in the
meantime serving hiB comity as
commissioner. In the fall of 1S73
he becamo assistant to County Treas
urer, Vincent Kuinmcr, serving hint
in the capacity of deputy until his
death.
Considering I hat Mr. Iviiiiiiuer was
a democrat and that he had held the
office of treasurer for twenty years,
his employment of Early as deputy
gavo the latter great strength in
making tho canvas for that ollicc iu
the fall of 1S7!, to which he was
nominated by the Republicans of
Platte.
The contest will not soon be for
gotten by thoso who took any inter
est whatever iu iL There were lour
candidate!?, Mr. Early receiving 0-10
of tho 101!) votes divided among
them, and 2.)!) more than the highest
of the three. He has performed the
duties of his ollicc admirably, during
the past two years, honoring the
party which placed him there by a
straight-forward, consistent and able
administration of his ollicc. This ho
has been enabled to do through the
intimate knowledge that ho has of
all the details of his ollicc and of the
men and affairs of the county.
HENRY .1. HUDSON
tho candidate for count7 commis
sioner, is so well known to all our
citizens that it 6eems like a work ol
supererogation to give even a brief
sketch ol Ins career among us.
lie has held various offices in old
Monroe, (aucrwards merged into
Platte county,) and the present
county of Platte among them be
ginning in Monroe in 1S57, as Coun
ty Commissioner, then as Probate
Judge, then as post-master for
eleven year? ; three terms as County
Clerk of this county; then in the
legislature, always and everywhere,

formed, in the public interest, fairly
and faithfully. Iu public office be
is one of those who appreciate the
fact that an official is a servant of
the public and not their master,
henco he is courteous and affable.
and always ready and willing to
impart information concerning bus
iness of the public entrusted to his
care. For what we regard as the
most important office in the county,
Mr. Hudson possesses the qualities
of experience, thorough knowledge
and a spirit and determination to
represent the public desire.
LEWIS J. CKAMEK,
tho canti'date for surveyor, was boru
in Tiffin, Ohio, in 1S17. Ho gradu
ated at Heidelberg College, Ohio,
engaged in civil engineering for two
years, and has been a teacher the
remainder of the years of his man
hood. He has been principal of the
public schools in district 1 of this
city for the past five years aud has
the affectiou and admiration of all
his pupils. He is a thorough schol
ar and a most excellent man. In
appearance, the professor somewhat
resembles that sturdy rcpublicau,
James G. Blaine.
JAMES E. MOKCRIEF,
the candidate for superintendent of
schools, was born in St. Lawrence
Co., N. Y., June 5, 1852. He was
raised on a farm, his father, a law
yer, residing in the suburbs of Og
dcusburg. At the age of 14 he
entered the academy at Lewiston ;
afterwards the college at Ogdens
burg, and taking a course in the
business col'ege of Bryant & Strat-
tou. At the age of nineteen he came
to Illinois, teaching in winter time,
and working on a farm in summer.
He has pursued the 'same general
course since he came to Lost Creek
precinct, this county, in 1S75, having
been engaged In one district three
terras, iu another two. When the
office of superintendent became va
cant last winter, Mr. Moncrief waH
t-elected by tho county commission
ers, aud the mauner iu which he has
conducted hiB office since that time
has iustilied their choice. Ho is
well fitted for tho position, and has
already won the esteem of the
public.
DR. S. A. IIONESTKEL,
the candidate for coroner, is too well
known as a physician of long and
extensive practice in this communi
ty, to need any commendation from
us. No man in the county is hotter
qualified for the place.
Hiram "V. Thomas, doctor of di
vinity, has been twice tried and
convicted for heresy. The sentence
of the court upon his first conviction
was that he be suspended from the
Methodist ministry. Tho sentence
of the court upon his second con
viction was that he be expelled
from tho ministry and from tho
church. Aud yet, it seems, the gen
tleman is not satisfied. He proposes
to be convicted a third time, by ap
pealing from the judgment and sen
tence of the court at Sycamore to
the "judicial conference" the Meth
odist tribunal of last resort. What
the sentence of that tribunal will be
can only be conjectured. We all
know what it would have been a
couple of centuries ago. But the
power of the church to roast heretics
has been curtailed, since then, al
though the necessity and propriety
of roastiug them for heaven's sako
is still the same. But, considering
the changed mental tone of society,
aud the prodigious footing which
heresy has gained throughout Chris
tendom since the great Protestant
heresy broke out in the sixteenth
century, it is perhaps a warranted
opinion that the Methodist supremo
court will be content to sentence
Brother Thomas to expulsion from
the abode of the redeemed in a fut
ure state of existence. At the pres
ent day, this would appear to be tho
extent of a church's jurisdiction in
heresy cases.
But why Brother Thomas should
require even that sentence to con
vince him that he is a hcietic passes
understanding. It is a warranted
opinion that he knows ho is a heret
ic that it did not need even one
trial aud conviction for heresy to
enable his consciousness to grasp
that fact.
Ho knows, too, that horcsy is the
highest of all crimes against the
church, and that tho church which
should suffer this crime to go un
punished would both iuvite and as
sure its own swift destruction.
The essential idea of a church is
an organized dogmatism. It implies
a formulated creed, or definite belief
iu things undcfiuablc and unknowa
ble, aud an authority to enforce that
belief by punishing any members of
tho church who openly reject or
question it.
There never has existed an organ
ized church on any other founda
tion. No other is imaginable on
which a church, in the accepted
meaning of the word, could exist.
In the first two centuries of Chris
tianity thcro were no churches,
strictly speaking. There were a
multitude of apostles, teachers of
religious doctrine, who went about
setting torth orally by any organiz
ed body of persons, but beliefs held
by themselves. It necessarily re
sulted that their opinions differed
widely from each other; that they
combated each other's religious no
tions, sometimes with great bitter
ness aud violence (as was tho case
with Peter aud Paul) ; that they de
nounced each other as falso teachers
and heretics. But as there was no
common standard of doctrine, no
authoritatively formulated creed, no
ecclesiastical organization, iu a word,
no church, they were not ablo, as
their devout successors wero when
they got control of political power,
to burn thoso who differed irom them
iu opinion concerning things of
which none of them had any knowl
edge. A "heretic," then, meaut only
a person whose preachment was
differcut to tho preachment of the
person who applied that epithet. To
Paul, Peter was a horotic, and to
Peter, Paul a heretic. To Jerome,
Marcion was a heretic, and to Mar
cion, Jerome was a heretic. And so
of the whole apostolic procession.
There is excellent ground for the
opinion that Paul's alleged miracu
lous conversion wrought no such
change in his persecuting nature as
would have restrained him from
"cutting off" Peter (as he counseled
his disciples to do with other heret
ics) if he had had the government
power at his back, as before the oc
currence on the road to Damascus.
To this miscellaneous assortment
of contentions but unorganized 're
ligions doctrinaires succeeded an
ecclesiastical organization. At first,
only a Joose alliance of some relig
ious leaders whose opinions con
tained points of similarity, it at
length developed a dogmatic system
the most arbitrary, and an ecclesias
tical orgauism the most wonderful,
which the world has ever known.
That which it organized was a re
ligious authority a church which
asserted its deliverances as tho in
fallible test of truth concerning
things beyoud tho grasp of the finite
consciousness. Here w&3 tho certain
test of heresy. It wai not only de
nial. It comprehended even a doubt
of the verity of tho church's dog
matic ex cathedra. The church said
to the human race : "Ho who doubts
is damned 1" Armed with the tem
poral power, It experienced little
difficulty in establishing the mopt
tyrranical dominion over tho minds
of men who, however ignorant,
knew that to question its assumed
divine authority was heresy, aud
that heresy meant not only torment
in hcll-firo hereafter, but here, too.
But tho extermination of heretics
was necessary to maintain tho au
thority of the church ; therefore, the
heretics wero oxtormiualed. All
writings which the church said were
heretical were destroyed if thoy fell
into tho hands of the church, and
those which tho church pronouncod
orthodox were compiled in a book,
ao much of which as suited the pur
poses of the church was pronounced,
by the church's infallible authority,
to have been written by diyino in
spiration. All this Brother Thomas knows
perfectly well. Ho knows that the
Protestant "reformation," so called,
was simply the outbreak of a wide
spread heresy. Protesting against
the authority of an infallible book.
But they quickly found that this
only carried them back to the era of
contending horcsies before an or
ganized church existed. The infal
lible book was merely a collection
of symbols of ideas which had been
formed in men's minds in a provious
age, and which (whether divinely
inspired or not) had to be interpret
ed, by men who could lay no claim
to uivino inspiration in the terms of
human thought in a long-subsequent
age. The interpreters wero no more
able to agree than Paul and Petor'or
Marcion and Tertullian had been
able to agree. Each faction realized
the necessity of a determinating au
thority of a church, organized to
maintain and authorized to enforce
against all heretical adversaries a
particular dogmatic theory. There
were, consequently, formulated as
mauy differcut creeds and sot up as
many distinct ecclesiastical organi
zations as there were leading differ
ences of opinion respecting tho
meaning of the infallible book. In
one respect only were these many
churches alike. Each required of
its members submissive acknowl
edgment of its authority and implicit
belief (or protended belief) iu its
creed. Other matters wero non
essential, but these were vital to the
existence of the church.
No church can possibly stand on
any other basis. In its essential
verity every church is an organiza
tion of a dogmatic authority over
matters of religious opinion and be
liof. Men who dissent to its creed,
or who question its right to deter
mine authoritatively what theolog
ical tenets its ministers and members
shall and shall not believe, stand to
it in tho relation of heretics, and if
within its jurisdiction must submit
to its punishment of that highest of
crimes against the church. It is the
one condition of the church's exist
ence. All other sins may bo con
doned ; immorality, lying, hypocrisy,
slander of the neighbor, all the per
sonal vices iu the list, tho church
may pass over and "whitewash,"
oven in tho minister of tho holy
altar; but tho heretic it must "cut
oir," or perish. Brother Thomas
knows as well as anybody that there
is no other alternative. Apparently,
he desires to continue in the minis
try of tho church to whoso dogmatic
prescription of what its members
shall believe, or profess to believe,
ho dissents. He knew, ten years
ago, that his conscience did not ac
cept thoso dogmas of tho church.
Ho knew ho was a heretic. Know
ing this, he knew that tho only con
dition of his remaining in tho min
istry of that church was that ho
should keep his heretical opinions
to himself, suppress his sincoro con
victions, and preach doctriucs he
did not believe. That would have
mado him a hypocrite But hypoc
risy is not a crimo against any
church. Theological hypocrisy is
not an offence which any church
puuishes, either in clergymen or in
laymen. On tho other hand, there
is good ground for the opinion that
tho ministry of all churches, in theso
days of evor-spreadiug horesy, con
tains a largo number of hypocrites.
The conditions exclude the possibil
ity of its being otherwise. 1. The
existence of the church requires that
its ministers shall preach and profess
to believe its authoritativo "stand
ards." 2. Tho most rational and
intellectual men iu its ministry can
not belieyo its authoritative "stand
ards." The dilemma in which they
are placed gives them only this op
tion : To declare their honest con
victions aud be cutoff as heretics;
or to affirm what their understand
ing rejects and eat tho bread of
hypocrisy at the cost of stultifying
their intellects.
Brother Thomas did not act in
ignorance of this. With the alter
native before him of being a hypo
crite or heretic, he elected to be a
heretic. It is not rational nor com
mendable on his part to pnt tho
church to so much trouble to get rid
of a heretic who knows as well as
tho church does that he is simply a
heretic. Chicago Times.

A battery of tho first Artillery

Tho first sergeant, now an honored

he was again challenged.
