"We, the republicans of the Third congressional district, hereby affirm our loyalty to the cardinal principles of the republicau party as enunciated through the national republican con vention that nominated Garfield and Arthur; "Whereas, The Republican party has ever since its organization been fore most in adopting measures beneficial to the laboring and producing classes. Resolved, 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 tbe 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. Resolved, That we are in favor of abolishing the state board of equali zation so that all the property ot 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 lands, 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 tnese resolutions. TJr to Monday of this week an nouncements are authoratively made for Senator Van Wyck to address the citizens of the third district at the following places: Blair, Thursdav, Oct. 19; Tekamab, Friday, Oct. 20; O'Xeil, Wednesday, Oct. 25 ; Norfolk, Thursday, Oct. 20; Albion, Fridav, Oct. 27. Valentine, in his opening speech at Stanton on Tuesday night, not only went back to tbe war issues, but away back of them, discounting even the nonsensical rant of the sanitary pat riots who never smelled powder and who saw the air in telling what they have done tor their country. Valen tine devoted tbe main burden of his speech to a defence of the railroads (who are his main supporters in this campaign), and to showing up how much they have done for the farmers in hauling their grain cheaper and quicker than by oxteam?, with com parisons showing what advantages there are over the old canal system of transportation. Then he asks the farmers if they want to go back to oxteams and canals? These are the arguments of a true "statesman." ad we presume Mr. Valentine is ealislseil with the manner iu which they answer the declaration of the platforms upon which the opposition candidates for Congres? are making the campaign against him in this District. We wouldn't advise him. however, to make any of thn6e speeches in the farming communities. They might not exactly understand the mothod of his argument or the force of hi a?sertions as being the peculiar cham pion of the farmers' interests. The committee bad better call in Valen tine and substitute Scbwcnck or Am brose or some of the other roustabouts who haven't anything to loBe. Fre mont Herald. Receiving the above as a correct report of the opening campaign speech of Mr. Valentine, the people cannot help being impressed with its unfair ness in treating the subjects at issue in the present political canvass. We do not understand that his opponents in this contest desire to abolish rail roads and go back to oxteams and canals for transportation of tbe farm ers' products and the merchants' 6tock in trade, by no means, and we believe that they as highly appreciate the ad vantages of railroads, when legiti mately confined to their business, as any other class of men ; but when railroad corporations step aside from their proper business of building roads, running trains, &c, and under take to run precinct, county, state and national politics against tbo public welfare, they are on the wrong track and must get off; and this is what your opponents in this contest in part object to. They are opposed to high railroad fares, and are in favor of re ducing them to a maximum charge of three cents per mile. They are in favor of abolishing the state board of equalization so that all the property of railroads and corporations shall be assessed and taxed in the same man ner as the property of individuals. They are in favor of a law to compel the railroads to take out patents on their lands, so the same may he taxed, as lands owned by individuals are taxed. The manner of Mr. Valen tine's presentation of the questions at issue, as reported, will not deceive or mislead the farmers and laboring men of the third district. He presumes a little too much on their ignorance by attempting to lead them away from the true issues by such weak and flimsy attempts at argument. Gladstone was reported iu better health last week. He was able to rido out. Under date of the 3d inst. from Cairo the Khedive was banqueting the British officers. George Bancroff, the historian, celebrated his eighty-third birthday at Newport on the 3d. Ten men have recently been ar rested near Cross Maaglen, Ireland, for treason and felony, and committed for trial. A farmer was murdered the other night near Boyne count-, Roscom mon, Ireland. Several arrests have been made. The news from Alexandria on the 3d inst., states that a number of pris oners including Niret, Arabi Tasha's European adviser, arrived there from Cairo for trial. TnE general Transatlantic company of France started last week the first ship to ply regularly between Havre and Baltimore. The Custer County Leader is the latest Republican paper to bolt Valen tine. O, yes, they have it unanimous I Fremont Herald. It is reported that there is a water famine in Suez. What water remains in the cans is putrid. Many persons are sick with fever. Mrs. Rebecca H. Longshore, of this city, writes to the Woman's Journal as follows : "We are having many valuable accessions to our ranks." A post-mortem examination on the body of Frank Herron, of Portsmouth Ohio, developed the fact that be had first been murdered and placed across the railroad track. James G. Blaine was taken down KTitn fever one day last week at Ports mouth, N. H. He underwent medical treatment and a later reports says be is steadily improving. The half of a colored boy's brain, who had his skull crushed by "the kick of a mule, was removed not long ago at Hamilton, Ga., and the boy has recovered and retains all his senses. That new paper threatened in Fre Bont on account of the support of Turner by the Tribune, has not yet appeared. Bulldozing wont work yrejl in the third congressional district. I We have not space to publish the several appointments made by the republican state central committee for speaking and speakers in the third congressional district. About fifty places for holding meetings are de signated and the following speakers selected : E K Valentine, G W Am brose, W F Norris, Church Howe, J L Caldwell, James W Dawes, G W Collins, C J Green, Walter Bennett, A W Agee, Senator Saunders, G S Smith, J L Mitchell, J W Tucker, E F. Smythe, Paul Vandervoort and G M Lambertson. The meetings open ed on the 3d inst. at Stanton, and will close at Oakland Nov. 4th, occupying the whole time of the political canvass in the Third congressional district. From the array of speaking talent placed in the third district a lively time and an excited canvass may be expecled. Senator Saunders and Gen. G. S. Smith will address the republi cans of Columbus, Oct. 11th, 1 p. m. Paul Vandervoort aud E. F. Smythe will address the citizens of Columbus Oct. 17tb, at 7 : 30 p. m., and E. K. Valentino and J. L. Mitchell will ad dress the citizens of Columbus, Oct. 26tb, at 7: 30 p.m. An incident of the campaign has escaped the Journal. While the delegates to Ihe Republican conven tion at Fremont were returning home, there was considerable badgering on both 6ides in which D. L. Brucn of this county took a lively part. When the conductor came through the car to collect fare from the passengers, nearly all of whom were delegates, Mr. Bruen noticed that the men who voted for Turner paid their fare while the others put up their passes. We are told that Mr. Bruen demanded of the conductor to know how this was, in tones of sufficient vigor to be heard by every man in the car, and that the conductor jocosely answered him, "Tke reason why you didn't get a pass was that we knew you were going to vote for Turner, be fore you started to Fremont." The conductor, as a matter of course, didn't seem to have any responsibility for the situation, but somehow the little incident was anything but agreeable to some of the more con scientious of the freemen who were riding on a free pass. THE OPEXIXG. Fremont, Oct. 7, '82. To the Editor : A few facts con cerning the Republican meeting at this place to-night will doubtless be acceptable to your readers. Early in the afternoon tbe streets were filled with farmers from tbe country, who showed a lively interest in the political manifestations about to lake place. The state central committee, acting iu the interest of Valentine, had ap poiuted a meeting here for this even ing to be addressed by Senator Saun ders, Mr. Lambertson and Mr. Ben nett. In the afternoon there was considerable anxiety evidenced by Mr. Dorsey and Saunders to secure a crowd by dividing time with the speakers for the Turner meeting at the Opera House, Senator Saunders saying that he did not wish to even seem to be working against Turner. Dr. Abbott, the local committeeman, suggested that the speakers at the Turner meeting were prepared to occupy all the time or the evening, that it was the opening of the cam paign, and it hardly seemed the proper thing to interfere with the programme. The Turner meeting was held in the Opera House, nud it was crowded to its utmost capacity, by an audience of intelligent ladies and gentlemen, and addresses made by Hon. M. K. Tur ner, our candidate for congress, by Hon. A. H. Connor of Kearney and by U. S. Senator, Chas. H. Van Wyck. Each, in his own way, discussed the attitude of railroad companies to wards the general public and the gov ernment, delivering telling blows. Gen. Van Wyck paid his respect to his enemies who have been begging, coaxing, pleading and berating him ever since he took his stand for Sen ator Turner in this congressional con test. He had taken occasion to write down his remarks and delivered them from manuscript, so that there could be no possible mistake about what he Bhould say, and so that nothing but willful and malicious misrepresenta tion could be made of his utterances on this subject. After running over Mr. Valentine's record in congress, he closed his address by saying a few words in favor of Turner as a life long, staunch republican, and an hon orable man of earnest purpose. The meeting was a magnificent suc cess from first to last, and all your readers who desire will probably have the pleasure of reading the ad dresses in full in the Omaha Bee, whose stenographing reporter was present, or in pamphlet form, later. The Valentine meeting, I am told, was attended by eevciity-five persons. Gun. Van Wyck, Gen. Connor, Sen ator Turner and others will make the campaign of the district, and I am very much mistaken if M. K. Turner, the republican and anti-monopoly nominee, does not receive the election over uom nis opponents, by very handsome majorities. Senex. bbbWm; r'.&fe-sra BBBBhh2kX" ZsZS&tSSsS&L.

The Valentine crowd found them selves in a dilemma at Fremont, and resorted to forjjery to help themselves out. Mr. Crounse was chairman of the Congressional Central Committee, and the proper person to call the con vention to order. He issued his call to the delegates to hand in their cre dentials to the Chairman and Secre tary of the Central Committee, and Val. at once sought an interview with Crounse to have him forego bis right to call the convention to order and agree that some other man, to be named by Val's. friends, should per form thiB duty. Mr. Crounse declin ed to do this, and asserted his right to perform the duty and to receive the credentials. Val. and his friend Dor sey got together and were equal to the emergency. Three members of the State Central Committee were in town, and a call was issued and print ed, calling the convention to assemble in the opera house, which was to bo called to order by one Colson. Below this call appeared a certificate pur porting to have been signed by five members of the Republican Slate Cen tral Committee and by G. W. E. Dor sey, as proxy for Colson. This cerli cate certified that it was the intention of the State Central Committee, that Colson, of Fremont, should call the convention to order. Among the five names attached thereto was O. B. Willard, of Loup City and Wvman of North Platte. Willard was at home, 200 miles dis tant, and a days drive from a railroad or telegraph and Wyman was 250 miles from Fremont. Whether any of the other gentlemen whose names appeared to the certificates were pres ent or not, we do not know, but we are sure that no honest Republican, can afford to vote for either Dorsey or Valentine, who were without doubt, parties to this fraud and forgery to deceive the delegates and get them to bolt the regular call and convention, that an investigation of the briberv. perjury and illegality of the claims of the Valentine delegation might not be shown up and exposed. The conse quence was that the Valentine crowd bolted and went off to themselves and placed him in nomination. Kearney Press. Turner' Response to Valentine. Columbus, Nebr., Oct. 6, 1882. Hon. E. K. Valentine, Dear Sir: Yours of the' 3rd in6t. received. Tour innuendo that I might have been a little earlier in my challenge is en tirely pertinent, but you will excuse me for saying that as the representa tive of the republican party of the Third Congressional District, I deem ed my respects first due to the regu lar democratic opponent, and after wards to the irregular republican opponent. I am surprised that you should refer me to the state convention as compe tent authority to give validity to your nomination, especially when the mem bers of that body took no measures whatever to ascertain the facts in tbe case, that they might give to their gratuitious deliverance even the sem blance of a fair judgment. My challenge, as a matter of course, necessarily iucluded a discussion of the irregularity of your nomination, one of the issues upon which I was very desirous of meetiug you. You say "As it is not the policy of the Republican party of this state to furnish audiences for their oppon ents," you therefore decline my re quest to discuss the issues between us. It has been my observation in Ne braska that republicans constitute a very large portion of every public meeting devoted to the discussion ot political subjects, and allow me to buggest that as political truth could only appear in better light by being placed in contrast with error, it would seem to be unfortunate that you could not give your own consent to at least hold the caudle. Yours respectfully, M. K. Turner. HM1T SO 1EAI! Mr. Olson In on Deck with a words for "J. JT. !!. Tew Turner is not alone in his fight. He has strong and numerous support ers. The Tribune is not the only paper that has had tbe courage to take up his cause and oppose Valentine. The Kearney Press and the Nonpareil, the St. Paul Free Press, the Niobrara Pioneer, the Columbus Journal, the Holt County Banner, the Cedar Co. Nonpareil, the Creighton Regulator, the Neligh Republican and the Custer Leader, have all enlisted in the same cause. Besides these, numerous pa pers outside of the district such as the Omaha Bee, the David City Re publican, the Falls City Journal, the Fairmont Signal and the Seward Reporter are in favor of Turner a6 opposed to Valentine. Fremont Tribune, ,Jiep.) Candidates. Since our last issue we have re ceived numerous letters from soldiers throughout the country asking us to give them the names of candidates that would in our judgment be most likely, if elected, to faithfully rep resent the interest of tbe Soldier. Fully recognizing the importance of keeping our comrades posted with accurate information concerning the character of every one of these nom inees. We shall, as soon as possible comply with the request of our com rades, and in sufficient season, to enable them to cast their votes at the coming election intelligently. We deem it, not only a privilege, but a duty of every ex-soldier to discrim inate at the polls, between candidates who are known to be opposed to legislation in the interest of the sol dier, and those of its avowed advo cates. Of course we will be called bolters and soreheads by a certain class of politicians and Dolltical tricksters. Every community has its political cappers that are ready at all timesto use the party lash in every conceivable way to drive and hold men into tbe ranks like so many sheep driven to the shambles. We believe in sticking to party as long as party puts forward men that are "good and true"to the principled that we endorse, but when party puts in nomination men that are opposed to those prin ciples regardless of the prayers of a very large class of voters, then we say vote for the principle, not Dartv. The National Soldier. A Fight lor the Right. The Omaha Rejmblican devotes about one-half of its space to the sub ject of the bolt in the party in the third district. According to every rule and principle of the party Mr. Turner's nomination is the regular one in that district. As to the "resi dent member" business this is false, as we have it from our member that no such resolution was ever introduc ed in tbe meeting of the State central committee, but the members from each district resolved themselves into a congressional committee and Mr. Crounse was elected chairman. As to Mr. Turner they gave him credit for being a smart man and an honest politician until they found that he would make the race; then they dis covered that he was a demagogue of the worst type. It bega of Senator Van Wyck not to take the field against Valentine, as he cannot afford to fight the republican party. He need not be afraid as niue tentbs of the party are for the princi ples adopted by Mr. Turner and the convention which nominated him. Fairbury Advance. The republican party of Nebras ka is pledged to do its best to satisfy the people in regard to the railroad problem ; and this journal now stands pledged to do its best to see that the republican party keeps that pledge. uniatia itepublican. The following resolution was of fered in the republicau state conven tion : Jiesolved, That congress should enact necessary laws requiring rail road corporations to procure patents for all lands to which they are entitled. so the same may be subject to state and local taxation. This resolution came to its death in the convention by actual smothering. Comment on the Republican's re marks is unnessary, as they will not mislead any farmer or laboring man in tbe Third congressional district who pays taxes. Creston, Oct. 7, 1882. Editor Journal: In the Colum bus Democrat of Sept. 30th, I find an article headed "In Memoriam," and signed M. J. M." and as the writer is referring to me in particular, I hope you will allow me space in your valuable paper for a reply. Mr. "J. J. M." evidently intends to make the impression that one person wrote the article, but to judge from the lofty inspiration that pervades the document, there must have been three one to consult the dictionary, one to write the article and the third holding tbe bottle of inspiration and adminis tering large doses of the inspired stuff when their mental faculties got slow; for no common brain conld draw forth such a glowing description of affairs as that article contains. The writer rejoices over the death of the Alliance and the disgrace of her supposed favorite son on the 20th of Sept., but I can assure him that the contrary is the case, and he must not be surprised if inside of another year many more Democrats have shaken off the old ring rule and joined hands with their brothers of toil to throw off the yoke that corporate power lays upon them. The Alliance to-dav stands just where the Resolution passed at Platte Center on the 1st day of July placed her with tbe addition of the Anti-monopoly League which the state has added to her. The Alli ance is not a party in itself, but tbe leading spirit of the Anti-monopoly party. Said party consists of the Alliance, composed of farmers alone regardless of party, and the Anti monopoly League composed of all other classes regardless of party, and if the writer would not jump at con clusions he would find that through out the state both democrats and republicans have been nominated by the Anti-monopoly. He would also know, if he had read the call for the Anti-monopoly convention, that all men believing in Anti-monopoly principles were invited to unite to further the Anti-monopoly movement, aud he would also know that on the memorable 1st of July, if he had not used the bottle of inspiration too much by that time, that I did not favor those resolutions very strongly, al though I was in favor of independ ence; nor could I "pledge myself solemnly" as he styles it, knowing as I did, being a member of the organiz ing committee for Platte county, that the Alliance would not be a party alone, but would co-operate with the Anti-monopoly League; and you well know that Platte county ought not to run the state. The Alliance stands to-day just where those resolutions placed her with the addition of tbe Anti-monopoly League, which the state has added to her; and as far as I am concerned I am just as strong an Alliance man to-day as I was then. I shall do all in my power to further the Alliance movement. I am a ser vant of the Alliance. I have gone nowhere but where the Alliance has put me and if they are content Mr. "J. J. M." ought not to growl. Where they bid me go I shall go, and I shall serve them with all my strength and make it my business to be a ser vant and not a master. Niels Olson. Antl-Monopolisl Platform. The following is the platform adopted by the state Anti-Monopoly convention held at Hastings Sept. 27th, and which for the want of space did not appear in last week's edition of the Journal: Resolved, That the present exorbitant taritf, laid as a war measure, should be reduced to correspond with the actual needs of the government, on a peace ba sis; should be laid as far as possible on articles of luxury and bear as lightly as possible upon our great agricultural in terests, and that it is uo part of the duty of government to tax one portion of the Ceople for the benefit of anotiier, and we rand'as moral cowards those members of congress who shirk their duty upon an expensive and unnecessary taritf com mission. Jiesolved, That it is the sense of this convention that tbe issuance of passes or free transportation in any form whatever by railroad companies in this state to any one holding an oiriee of any kind under the constitution of Nebraska, or to an oflicer of any election precinct or primary election or caucus, should be deemed a criminal offense, aud should be prohibit ed by law uuder severe penalties, aud that it should be made mandatory upon the proper state officers to execute such a law. Resolved, That our government owes obligations to protect our ctil rights and personal liberty, whether sojourning in this or foreign lauds, and we request our representatives in congress to demand that the policy of surveillance or personal restraint by foreign governments ot such citizens, except In punishment of crimes, shall forever cease. Jiesolved, Tbat the present revenue laws of the state that disci iminatc between assessment and taxation of railroids and the property of individuals are unjust, and contrary to the spirit of our consti tution. Resolved, That we demand from con gress that enactment of laws that will compel the land grunt railroads to pay taxes upon all their lauds, aad We further demand that all lands forfeited by the land grant roads shall revert to the pub lic domain for homestead settlement. Resolved, That we hereby avow our ad hesion to the following principles, tand declare that the organization of the peo ple is necessary to maintain them: We advocate and will maintain and defend the rights of the many against privileges for the few. Corporations, the creation of the state, shall be controlled by the state. Labor and capital are allies, nut enemies, aud justice is for both. Iu ac cordance with these general principles we affirm that the public welfare and the public safety demand the following spe eilic measures of relief: Laws compell ing transportation companies to base their charges upon the cost and risk of service with a fair prolit added instead of the ntw theory advanced ry them, to ask what the traffic will bear: laws to prohib it the establishment through contracting companies and other devices of a ficti tious cost of worKs of a public nature; prohibiting unjust discrimination against citizens and localities; liberal policy toward our waterways, which, during the season of navigation, nre potent in preventing exorbitant charges by rail roads; more efficient laws against the crime of bribery and for the protection of the purity of the ballot; a public service founded on capacity and integrity: public lands the common inheritance of the whole people, should be reserved for actual settlers: currency, tbe measures of values, whether metal or paper, should be issued and controlled by the govern ment only; the known benefits of the postal system of other countries to be adopted in the United States, including the postal savings bank aud the postal telegraph and telephone; a free press, the bulwark of our free instiluti ms, must be maintained; leading journals have been purchased by monopolists, who are en deavoring to control tbe thoughts of the nation, aud the journals 'which are not thus controlled should be sustained by the people. Resolved, That we denounce the utter ances of the republican and democratic parties of this state through their recent conventions on the subject of transporta tion and government control of corpora tions as political clap-trap, calculated to deceive and mislead the people, for the actions of these parties do not correspond with their professions. While making these patriotic professions they leave the machinery of the parties in the hands of corporation tools, and pi ice In nomina tion for the most responsible positions men entirely uevoieu to corporate power. We therefore repeat our belief that the people can find no relief from corporate oppression through the agency of these parties, and we invite all men to unite in a new organization which will be un trameled by corporate influence and free to voice the will of the people, and give it force and vitality through enactment of laws. Resolved, That we unqualifiedly con demn the recent gigantic steal participa ted in by the republican and democratic parties, known as the river and harbor bill, and we believe that everv member of congress who aided in passing that bill should be promptly retired from polit ical life. Resolved, That sound financial policy demands the payment of the national debt, to the end that the public may be speedily relieved from the onerous taxa tion; aud that the maintenance and exist ence of the United States bonds to alford a basis for national banking would be a gross mistake, subversive of the best interests of the people, and that such measure is promulgated only in the in terest of an overgrown and dangerous monopoly. Resolved, That labor, its importance as the condition of all production, and its just relation with capital should be rec ognized and Its right protected by law. sajiui; macniuery, insieau oi un- GENOA AND FUIXEBTOH" STAGE AND EXPRESS LINE, Will run Kepilar Tr!is making Xure Conc:io! w.th Til-.xii 'rs,iM East and West.

In a majority of cases tbe women in per son have coii due ted the discussions and canvass in the several states, ex hibiting great intelligence and ability as public speakers, and which with an unprejudiced public opinion, has done more to advance their cause than all other things combined. The republican convention which convened at Schuyler on the 4th inst., to nominate a senator for the 13th district, and a float representative for Platte and Colfax counties, nominated L. M. Weaver, of Colfax county, for senator, and W A. McAllister, of this city, for float representative. The convention was harmonious and the nominations made by a unanimous vote.

Turner refused to publish anything for the Alliance when it was weak. Now this is un true, for in its weakness another man and I went to Mr. Turner, after that report went out. Mr. Turner said that he would publish anything for the Alliance if it was free from per sonalities. It is hoped tbat tbe aati's of the republicans and democrats will not let these fault-finders bring influ ence to bear on them. If the work ing class will only stick together, times will be better. If Valentine is elected, it is money that does it If turner gets there, wo must put him there. Farmers and working men come to the front as we did Irora 1860 to 1805, aud the victory is our3. There are some folks tbat will sac rifice principle for party sake. We want to elect men, not the tools of rings that can be bought up by tbe railroads for their purposes. If the people want "E. E. M." for president, they will let him know. If be keeps on, his head will need "hoop ing" instead of Mr. Turner's. There arc people in tbe county that strike Ol6on. They say that he pledg ed himself to non-partisan principles. This is not true, and I can prove it. "J. J. M." should be careful hereafter. Tkumps. Two courts are to be constituted to try Arabi -Pasha and other special tribunals to deliver judgment. A private examination of Arabi Pasha was held on the 3d inst., and the reg ular trial commenced on the 4th. Labo.' uuiy enncning toe cipitaiist ought to reduce the hours of labor without reduc ing wages, so that the workingmeu may have more time for recreation and im provement. The right of laboring men to hold public meetings for peaceable dis cussion should be protected by law. State prisons and penitentiaries are establish ed to prevent crime and reform criminals, not to make profits for private persons or to injure the interests of labor. There fore, the contract system in these insti tutions should be abolished, and the labor of the convicts be so employed as not to injure the interests of merchants aud laboring men. On motion the platform was unani mously adopted, and the committee were discharged. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That we express our hearty approval of the public service of our present United States Senator C. II. Van Wyck, tbat we greatly appreciate his fidelity to his constituents in expressing their true sentiments by voting against the river and harbor bill; that our thanks are due to him for his manly adherence to me rignis oi me citizens as against the tyranny and oppression of powerful rail road monopolies; for his sound judgment and true statesmanship, as expressed In his views on the tariff question, and for his able advocacy of the natural and in herent rights of the people as opposed to the combined effort of demagogues and machine politicians to wield tbe sceptre of power aad appropriate government patronage.
