Platform.
"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.

We have not space to publish the
several appointments made by the
republican state central committee for
speaking and speakers in the third

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.

FORGERY.
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

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.

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

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.

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

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

"Woman suffrage is now being dis
cussed in Indiana, Oregon, Iowa and
Nebraska, with tbe view of obtaining
amendments to tbe respective con-
stitntions of those states, confering
upon women the right to vote. 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.
The Island of Anticosti, in the St.
Lawrence river, containing more than
2,000,000 acres, is to be sold at auction,
in settlement of a lawsuit. Here is a
1 good chance to speculate iu real estate.
Crexton Trump in for Tnrner.
Editor Jouknal :I see tbat in the
Creston items, "E. E. M." says tbat
M. K. Turner will sway to either side
to be popular. Now l. E. M." knows
better than that, and I hope that he
will keep truth on his side a little
closer hereafter. I should like to
have "E. E. M." explain himself. He
says that M. K. 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.
