We, the republicans of (he Third
..ongressional district, hereby effirm
our loyalty to the cardinal principles
of the republican party as enunciated
through the national republican con
vention that nominated Garfield and
Arthur;
Whereas, The Republican party baa
ever eiuce its organization been fore
most in adopting measures beneficial
to the laboring and producing classes.
Besolved, That the question of trans
portation is one of the most import
ant problems now before the people
for solution, and that the republican
party of Nebraska should voice the
sentiments of the people thereon in
no uncertain sound; that all trans
portation routes should be so con
trolled by the state and general gov
ernments as to prevent extortion,
unjust charges and discrimination in
any form or manner; that the action
of the different railroad companies
throughout the United States in con
solidating and pooling otherwise
competing lines and issuing free pass
es to public officers is contrary to a
sound public policy, and should be
prevented by proper legislation.
Jiesolved, That we are in favor of
reducing all railroad fares for travel
in this state to a maximum charge of
three cents per mile.
Jiesolved, That we are in favor of
abolishing the state board of equali
zation so that all the property of rail
roads, and corporations shall be
assessed and taxed in the same man
ner as the property of individuals.
Jiesolved, That we are heartily in
favor of the bill recently introduced
in congress to compel land grant rail
roads to take out patents on their
land 8, so that the same may be taxed,
as lands owned by individuals are
taxed.
Jiesolved, That we, the republicans
of the Third congressional district of
Nebraska, are in favor of a careful,
honest and economic expenditure of
public moneys in county, state and
nation ; that we heartily endorse the
action of President Arthur in vetoing
the river and harbor appropriation
bill recently passed by congress,
whereby millions of dollars of the
public monies were recklessly squan
dered ; that we condemn the action of
members of congress and senators
who voted to pass said bill over the
veto.
Jiesolved, That we pledge the re
publican party of the Third district
to an earnest endeavor to carry out
these resolutions.

us the result
W. A. McAllister, Esq., of Colum
bus, has been nominated by the anti
monopolists, for the legislature from
the district composed of Platte and
Colfax counties. Our float represen
tatives heretofore have not been sat

all confidence. He will be elected,

cellent representative.

A Mississippi river horror is re
ported from Yicksburg, Miss. On the

Robert E. Lee, one of the most noted
of the river boats, was burned to the
water's edge, and twenty-one lives
lost. She was loaded with 500 bales
of cotton, which greatly aided in her
hasty destruction. The steamer was
valued at $100,000 and insured for one
half the sum.
A frightful accident happened
last week to the train which had on
board Sell's circus, near Lancaster,
Ky. Fifteen cars rolled down an
embankment killing three persons
and fatally injuring many otbors, and
the coaches badly wrecked. The cage
containing the tiger was burst open,
and the fierce animals turned out, but
after daylight the door wa9 opened,
and the tiger, which was crouched
near by, crept into his prison, and
was secured. Until this was accom
plished every one was afraid to ap
proach the dangerous animal.
The news from Alexandria last
week says the Khedive has Issued a
manifesto declaring that England has
great interests in Ggypt, both in re

tention of annexing the country. The
Khedive announces that he has au
thorized Gen. Wolseley to represent
him in restoring order and punish
ing rebels. All loyal Egyptians are
allowed to render Wolseley every
assistance, and any refusing will be
treated as rebels.
The editors of the Knox county
News profess to be readers of the
Columbus Journal judging from
their free comments about its make
up, etc. Did they not read "that our
statement as to who put Valentine in
nomination at convention No. 2 at
Fremont was based upon information.
The editor of this paper was not in
that convention." If they did read it
before making their comments the
readers of the News and Journal are
left to make up their judgments as to
who acted the part of fairness in their
comments, the Newt or the Journal ;
and who is the liar, if a lie has been
told.
Every voter in the state should
read the speech of Capt. J. H. Stickle
delivered at Hastings Sept. 27th, and
published in the Omaha Bee of the
30th. That part of it which relates
to the paramount issue of the day,
the method pursued by railroad kings
to oppress the producing classes and
make themselves lords of all they
survey, will be specially interesting.
He says "we are the most monopoly
ridden people and will patiently sub
mit to more humbug and more en
croachment on our right than any
other people on the face of the green
earth. That we have a railroad mo
nopoly, express monopoly.oil refining
monopoly, associated press monopoly,
barb wire monopoly.with a protective
tariff which enables a few individuals
to enrich themselves at the expense
of the masses." Those of our readers
who are interested in the campaign
which is just about to open in Ne
braska, should not fail to study at
leaet the portion of Capt. Stickle's
speech to which we have referred.
A Mistake aa a Fact.
Gere, of the Lincoln Journal, the
word-artist of platform fame, almost
splits his head over a blunder made in
printing the Fremont congressional
platform. He talks as though there
were but few men who know the dif
ference between maximum and mini
mum. Mr. Gere's lengthy article
based opon this mistake evidences
that while he assumes to have a max
imum of knowledge he has a minimum
of fairness. While he Is quibbling
about words, it will not be out of
place to call the attention of the peo
ple of this state, whom he is trying to
mislead, to some facts touching upon
the same subject, as showing the ani
mus of the editor of the Lincoln
Journal. It will be remembered that
Mr. Gere is a member of the State
senate, and that there was before that
body, at its regular session, a bill fix
ing the maximum of passenger rates
on railroads in Nebraska at three
cents a mile. On page 489 of the Sen
ate Journal our readers will see just
where Senator Gere placed his vote.
On a motion made that the considera
tion of the bill be indefinitely post
poned Mr. Gere voted aye, and the
vote being a tie, Lieutenant Governor
Carns's vote (which was, of course,
the same as Gere's) decided against
the further consideration of the bill.
It is a bare possibility that if Mr.
Gere had voted for the maximum of
three cents a mile at that time, the
people of the state would now be
thanking him, in part, for a reduction
of rates, instead of berating him for
his carping criticism npon a printer's
blunder. That record, however, will
not down at his bidding, because the
people have learned to apply the
scripture -teas that as a tree is to be
known by Its fruits, so also shall the
Nebraska editor be known. In the
great battle that is now going forward,
and which will, soon or later, decide
that the people in this country are the
rulers, and not the railroad and other
corporations, let it be known that
Charles H. Gere, editor of the Lincoln
Journal, has, as a legislator, tallied
one for bis mastersthe railroad corporations.

M. K. TURNER,
Republican and Anti-Monopoly Nominee for Congress, Third District.
"HOT HIGHLY IMPORTANT,"
OF COURSE.
It has been the universal custom of
the corporation politicians to smother
discussion of principles at our state
conventions, and the late gatherings
of the two great political parties were
no exception to the general rule.
When men are earnestly contending
for a policy of government to be pur
sued, when they mean that certain
principles which they hold as essen
tial to the general welfare shall be put
into practice, they lay down such
general principles carefully, yet fairly,
plainly and honestly, and then, with
the same earnestness and directness,
select men who, as officials, they be
lieve will do their best to carry those
principles into practice.
Of course, such a method would not
do for those who are merely hunters
of spoils ; those whose gospel is the
loaves and fishes. The platform of
principles, with such, is always sec
ondary, and the man who can best
deceive with words, who can seem to
strike the -public ear and yet really
promise nothing, even in the way of
an earnest endeavor to do what the
people demand as their right, is select
ed as the word artist for the dreary
performance, and the result of his
agony of words without special mean
ing is left for deliverance to the con
fusion of the last moments of the
convention. Brother Gere of the Lin
coln Journal, the special champion of
capitol appropriations, and Btate print
ing contractors, and railroad corpora
tions, and culpable if not corrupt lieu
tenant governors, and railroad politi
cians and favorites generally,comcs to
the rescue of the late convention in ita
non-action concerning certain resolu
tions that were offered, saying that,
"as a matter of fact they do not seom
to be highly Important." We only
wish, now, to again call the attention
of our readers to the resolutions which
were offered and not adopted by the
same convention which went out of
its way to read a lesson to the people
of the third congressional district as
to their political duty. The resolu
tions were "that congress should
enact necessary laws requiring rail
road corporations to procure patents
for all lands to which they are en
titled, so the same may be subject to
local and state taxation, and that the
people of the state of Nebraska un
qualifiedly approve the act of Presi
dent Arthur vetoing the river and
harbor bill."
Now, with all due deference to
brother Gere, we must be allowed to
say that these resolutions denounce
injustice of the worst kind on one
hand, and outrageous extravagance
and corrupt nse of public funds on the
other. In our humble opinion, the
people of Nebraska will never ap
prove the action of Senator Saunders
and Representative Valentine on the
river and harbor bill, and that they
will put the seal of their emphatic
condemnation on the same, notwith
standing the fact that none of the cor
poration newspapers of the state seem
anxious to have the subject referred
to in any manner, even casually.
Hon. M. K. Turner, of the Colum
bus Journal, received the nomination
at the regular convention in Fremont
for congressman from the 3d district,
and Hon. E. K. Valentine was the
choice of the bolters convention. The
Valentine party that claim they have
everything north of the Platte, were
afraid to enter the convention called
by the proper officers, but in order to
get a unanimous nomination forVal
had one of the committeemen call a
convention for their special benefit,
and are now trying to make the peo
ple believe that Senator Turner is the
bolters nominee. Mr. Turner's record
as a member of the State Senate gives
a better history of his character than
could be conveyed in words. He is a
man of the people plain, practical
and sensible. His character as a man,
a citizen and a republican is beyond
the possibility of a reproach. The
majority of the Republican party of
Howard county are farmers, and from
them Mr. Turner's candidacy should
meet especial consideration. Al
though the editor of an influential
paper, be is also a practical farmer,
and lives upon and conducts the affairs
of an extensive farm. He is a man
who thoroughly despises hypocrisy
and would acorn to reap a benefit
procured through unworthy means.
Wo feel that he would be an honor to
the State of Nebraska in Congress,
and we can urge his nomination, feel
ing that we are advocating the cause
of an honest, able and conscientious
man. St. Paul Free Press.
Valentine and his henebmen will
be surprised oe the 7th day of Novem-
Iber, when they meet the horrid anti's
at the polls. .Kearney Nonpareil.
If Valentine is defeated he can
thank his fool friends like Fred Nye
for It. His using the columns of the
Omaha Jlcpublican, to abuse and
vilify Judge Crounse, simply because
he exercised a freeman's right to be a
candidate for office in opposition to
the man who gavo him a clerkship
with the princely salary of $6.00 a day,
did more to cause the breach in the
Third district than anything else.
Before the convention met we warned
him that his course would create such
a bitter feeling that it would be im
possible for the friends of Crounse to
support Valentine. But his overbear
ing egotism would not permit him to
listen to reason, and the consequences
we foretold have come to pass. And
now, instead of using reason and
argument to convince the Turner men
that it is their duty to support Valen
tine, the Bepublican continues to pour
out its abuse upon Turner, Crounse,
Van Wyck, Rosewater, et al, thus
making the breach wider and wider.
Valentine had better give Fred $12.00
a day and send him away where he
cannot do any harm. Falls City
Journal.
As a specimen of the unfair means
taken to influence public opinion, the
reports telegraphed from Fremont by
the Union Pacific operator there, are
worth noticing. The report sent out
on the day of the convention and
copied in many newspapers was that
Valentine received 138 of the 146
votes in the convention. Such a state
ment is false in every particular. Only
one ballot was taken and Valentine
received but 91 votes of which 27
were from contested counties which
sent contesting delegates, Mr. Valen
tine received only 64 votes in a dis
trict which had 146 delegates. ' A like
proportion of votes at the polls would
defeat him and elect Mr. Turner in
November. Nebraska Signal.
"The Valentine organs of this dis
trict make a shameful attack upon
Turner. To read their columns a
stranger would be lead to believe
that Turner was a man totally de
void of honor or ordinary intel
ligence. It is not our pleasure to
interfere with any disgraceful re
publican imbroglio but we are
inclined to think that many of the
lond-mouthed asses, who are now
making such a miserable discord,
will respect Turner more when they
see his strength at tho coming elec
tion." Columbus Democrat.
The Democratic state convention of
Massachusetts, held in Boston last
week, adopted the following resolu
tion: "Equal rights, equal powers,
equal burdens, equal privileges, and
equal protection by law under the
government for every citizen of the
republic, without limitation of race or
sex, or property qualification, whether
it be by a tax on property or a poll-tax
on persons." The debate over this
resolution was vehement and excited,
but it was carried by a strong vote.
Trae Repabllcaataa.
Every effort will be made to defeat
Mr. Turner. Money poured out like
water; lies concocted ; Valentine rep
resented as the Messiah of Nebraska
republicans and Turner as their Judas
Iscariot. But in the face of all this
we believe the latter gentleman rep
resents the sentiments of a majority
of the voters of this district, and
shall work, and fight, and pray for
his success. Custer Leader.
"West Point Bepublican: "As for
Mr. Turner he has always borne a
reputation for honesty and integrity
amongst those who know him."
This is a great deal more than the
above paper can say of the West
Point statesman who haB proven him
self both dishonest and corrupt.
