Platform.
We, the republicans of the Third
coiiffreesional district, hereh' affirm
our loyalty to the cardinal principles
of the republican party as euuuciated
through the national republican con
vention that nominated Garfield and
Arthur;
Whereas, The Republican party has
ever eiuee its orgauizitiou been fore
most in adopting measures beneficial
to the laboring and producing classes.
Jiesolved, That the question of trans
portation is oue 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 pound ; that all trans
portation routes should be bo 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 60 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
iu congress to compel laud grant rail
roads, to take out patents on their
roads, aud so that the same may be
taxed, as lands owned by individuals
are taxed.
Jiesolved,Tha,t we, the republicans
of the Ttiird congressional district of
Nebraska, are in favor of a careful,
honest and economic expenditure of
public moneys iu count', 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 ont
these resolutions.
Whose "foot is iu a hole" now with
regard to Val's. army record ?
The old poetofflce site and property
on Nassau, Cedar and Liberty streets,
New York, were sold the other day
for 1650,000.
Stuffed ballot boxes never tally
with the true number of votes polled,
and the committeemen can easily de
tect the fraud.
Where the charge of lying with
regard to Valentine's record consis
tently belongs is left to the decision
of all honest men.
It is understood that Judge O. P.
Mason has been promised $1000 for
'ten speeches in this district, to be de
livered during the campaign.
If the combined anti-monopolist
voters of the Third district do their
duty on the 7th of November, victory
will perch upon their banners.
Every republican should be active
at the polls and do his whole duty in
voting for the principles that will
result in the best good to the country.
The funeral of Geo. P. Marsh,
Uuited States minister to Italy, was
simple and almost private. Flowers
concealed the American flag, which
covered the coffin.
This mysterious silence among the
great body of voters forebodes no
good results to that gigantic power
which has been running county, 6tate
and national politics for years.
Recent dispatches from Gen. Al
exander state that the sheriffs possee
are in close pursuit of Coleman and
Belmont and expected to capture
them, not however, without a desper
ate fight.
The Minden murderers took dinner
the other day at the house of a far
mer not far from Beaver City, Neb.
The county is aroused and there is a
fair prospect of capturing the mur
derers. The secretary of the treasury has
issued the 118th call for redemption
of bonds of the 5 per cent, funded
loan of 1881, continued at 3 percent,
from Aug. V2, '81. The call is for
$15,000,000.
Evert voter should do his duty en
the 7th of November by casting his
vote in accordance with his principles
and for the candidate which he be
lieves will do his beet to carry those
principles out in practice.
The Steam yacht for Jay Gould will
be completed by spring. It will be
constructed of iron and steel and have
steel boilers. It will be 210 feet long,
27 feet beam, 16 feet deep and fifteen
hundred horse power.
The charges of "lie" "infamous
falsehood !" "dirty libel !" etc., heaped
on the Journal because of the open
ing of the question of Val's. army
record have, boomerang like, recoiled
on the heads of those who so freely
used them.
The monopolists of this district will
attempt to rnn in theirtrusted man by
some trick or other on the voters, by
spurious tickets or fraudulent counts.
Committeemen should be on the alert,
and. see that the couuting is regular
and correct.
Mark M Pomehot, better known
as "Brick" Pomeroy, is coming again
into the political field. He announ
ces that early in November he will
begin in Denver, Colorado, the publi
cation of a large size, eight -page red
hot democratic paper.
If J. C. Santee and B. C. Hill, pub
lishers of the Knox county News, are
responsible men, they might be ex
cused for the libel published in their
issue of Oct. 26, had they never seen
Special Order No. 220, War Depart
ment, which order stamps their state
ment as entirely false.
Keep a steady eye on all fraudulent
voters. Committeemen who have
this thing in charge should prosecute
every illegal voter in the Third dis
trict. It will require some vigilence
to detect- them. The committee
should bring them to time.
Men who will lie, contradict the
fact of history and c mmit fraud are
always ready in an emergency to col
onize voters. It is understood that
voters are needed, and this may be
attempted in the Third district. Com
mitteemen should keep a sharp look
in this direction.
We are fearful that at the rate the
shower of lies misrepresentations,
prevarications and the denials of his
tory are flooding the Third Congres
sional district we shall soon acquire
the unenviable reputation of having
the worst set of politicians of any
district in the United States.
J. W. Early's letter to Val. very
conclusively shows where that con
cocted story about Val. holding a
mortgage on Saunders' farm origina
ted and who concocted it and for
what purpose. Val. used this story
the other day at Neligh, by repeating
it in a very minute and particular
form of detail.
E. V. Clark does not seem to be
well posted on E. K. Valentine's re
cord. For further information we
respectfully refer him to Special Or
der No. 220 of the war department.
If he cannot comprehend it, his friends
T. H. Saunders or John W. Early can
explain it, as they have both been in
the service and know how it should
be.
The President has suspended Jona
than Diggs, Indian agent at Colorado
River agency, and appointed George
W. Clark his successor. Indian agent
McGillicuddy at Pine Ridge agency,
endorsed his resignation to the secre
tary of the Interior. The secretary
declined to accept the resignation
pending the result of the investigation
now in progress.
True anti-monopolist republicans,
farmers and business men of the
Third congressional district, by hold
ing a steady hand on your ballots and
turniug out unanimously and voting
you will achieve a splendid victory
for your cause. Tour enemies real
ize this in the near future which ex
plains their desperation in the last
days of their political struggle.
Liars, slanderers, deceivers, mis
representers of history are the sort of
men to commit all sorts of deceptions
on voters and frauds upon the ballot
box. Every voter should carefully
read his ticket over before voting, and
know for himself that it is correct and
contains the names of the candidates
he wants to vote for. Do not be
cheated out of your vote at the last
moment.
Railroad bosses and monopolists
may, and from certain hints received,
will have a distinguishing mark by
which they can prevent men in their
employ from voting any other ticket
than the one furnished by arrange
ment. This trick can readily be
accomplished by placing in their
hands a colored ticket. It can be
accomplished as readily by some
other sign.
Fifteen drunken cowboys, led by
C. W. Mead at Lakin, Kae., the other
day bounced the telegraph operator,
and began shooting through the car
windows, breaking eight in one car,
seventeen in the sleeper, and five in
the special car. By lying down on
the floor the passengers escaped the
bullets. Mend and two of the cow
boys were captured by the sheriff.
The sheriff was in close pursuit of
the others.
It is believed that Arabi Pasha
will be indicted for violation of the
law of the nations, by hoisting the
white flag in Alexandria, and under
cover thereof retiring with bis troops
and giving up the city to fire and pil
lage. That he excited the Egyptians
to arras agaiust the Khedive. That
he continued the war despite offers of
peace. With having excited civil
war, devastation, massacre and pil
lage in Egyptian territory.
Val., on all proper occasions, when
his military record is brought into
question, lifts the lappel of bis coat
and exhibits bis army badge. He
ought to have Special Order No. 220
of the war department pinned along
side of bis badge and exhibit that at
the same time. Then be could not
deceive soldiers, except he might
throw dust in the eye6 of a "lame" one
occasionally ; but a strong, hearty fel
low could see through the trick.
"A MAc Mailed.
The extent to which the brass-collared
lackeys of the newspaper fra
ternity in the Third district will go
in defense of their "boss" to save his
army record from the deserved stig
ma attached to it, ia shown by th
pitiful attempt of some of them to
aid him to cover it; and notably as
such reliable (?) exponents of polit
ical principles are the Boone County
News and Argus. The News rushes
to the rescue of Valentine from the
imputation that his army record was
bad by characterizing the charge a
lie, and with the assumption charac
teristic of these barnacles on decent
journalism nails it with the assertion
that the Adjutant General's report or
the state of Iowa for the year 1866,
show that Val. was mustered out o
the service at Leavenworth, Kausss,
in that year; and by a mauuer oi
reasoning that must be original with
the News man says the Journal lies a
whole year because the introduction to
the newspaper scrap was said to have
been taken from a paper published in
1865, the month of the year not being
mentioned.
The gentleman who had in bis pos
session this scrap that was destined to
play so conspicuous a part in political
matters in the Third District sixteen
vears after the events it recorded,
positively knew that the army records
would show that Valentine was en
gaged in fraud on the government in
connection with army horses, aud for
such fraud was ordered mustered out
of the service which he had disgraced.
That he was so mustered out the fol
lowing order which is a copy of an
ofilcial transcript from the records of
the War Department, proves beyond
'a question :
SPECIAL ORDER NO. 220.
War Dkpartment, )
Adjutant Genkral's Office. -
May 11, lbtiti. )
By direction of the president the follow
ing named officers are hereby dishonora
bly mustered out of the service of the
United States for fraudulent practices in
connection with the appraisal and sale of
horses, the property of the United States:
Brevet Brigadier General H. H. Heath,
Colonel Seventh Iowa Cavalry.
Major J. B. David, Seventh Iowa Cav
alry Captain . B. Murphy, Seventh Iowa
Cavalry.
First lieutenant K. K. VALENTINE,
Adjutant Seventh Iowa Cavalry.
Second Lieutenant Thomas J. Potter,
Seventh Iowa Cavalry.
Lieutenant G. P. Belden, Seventh Iowa
Cavalry.
Lieutenant I. S. Brewer, Seventh Iowa
Cavalry.
Lieutenant W. H. Northrup, Seventh
Iowa Cavalry.
Lieutenants Ormsby and Lowerey,
Seventh Iowa Cavalry.
By order of the Secretary of War.
E. D. Townsknd,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Such are the facts of history and
his subsequent "whitewash" and
"honorable (?) discbarge" at Daven
port, Iowa, Aug. 10, 1866, nearly three
months later, does not blot out the
spot upon bis character as a man and
a soldier, nor disprove the fact that
Buch disgraceful record was brought
about a practice of downright fraud
upon the government which he had
sworn to serve and whose commis
sion as an army officer he then held.
With dishonesty thus proven be
yond a possibility of successful con
tradiction and the fact that Valentine
solemnly denied in bis public speeches
that any charge that his army record
was not untarnished was a base fab
rication, his exact language in a
speech at Fremont being that it was a
"wholesale lie made out of whole
cloth," will any honest person claim
that he is a fit man in whom it is safe
to confide a public trust? And are
not those organs of the district who
have been the willing tools of Val. in
his attempt to cover his record of
dishonesty -while in the government
service as an army officer, by shout
ing, lie! and heaping wholesale abuse
on the Journal for opening the
question of Val's record while in the
service for the reason that they
prostituted their high calling as in
dexes of public sentiment to the level
of hired political bummers plainly
branded as underserving the confi
dence and support of honest citizens ?
The question to be considered in
thiB connection is not as to whether
Valentine now holds an honorable
discharge, but was he dishonorably
mustered out of the service, May 11,
1866, for dishonest practices
that stamp him a man unworthy
the high trust he asks for, and in
whom it would be absolutely unsafe
to confide the interests of the people?
And also, in the same connection,
what has been his atitude towards
these facts ?
Let the people look well to their
legislative ticket, and more especially
to their state senators. There is where
the monopolists will try to secure
their pets, so as to block legislation, if
they can do no better. It is not so
hard for them to control the senate,
being a smaller body of men. There
are all kind of legislative jobs that
ought to be looked after, and the pub
lic service needs men of iutegrityand
fearlessness, men who can neither be
coaxed nor driven from obeying the
people's wish ; men who will look in
to penitentiary appropriation, for in
stance, who will not sneeze whenever
Boss Stout takes snuff; men who will
not only look into but prosecute
printiug contract frauds and see that
the state is not euchered out of thous
ands of dollars; men whose hand6
are not placed behind their backs,
open for bribe-taking on any and ev
ery occasion that comes up.' It isn't
any wonder that the Lincoln Journal
is taking an usual interest In political
matters in the Third district this year.
That paper will put in some quiet
work to have friends and followers in
the state senate and legislature, but
we mistake our guess if the anti-monopoly
element of this state don't
have somebody there next winter
who will make a rattling among the
corruptionists. The public service
must rid itself of public thieves and
plunderers, and decent men should no
longer hold themselves back from the
attack upon them because of the filth
that they may throw, and the venom
they may eject.

M. K. TURNER.
Republican and Anti-Monopoly Nominee for Congress, Third District.
VERY MYMTKRIOIJM.
General George M. O'Brien, who
was Colonel of Val's. regiment during
the war, admits that special order No.
220 was published, that Valentine was
dismissed according to its provisions,
and that it was pretty hard work gel
ling him back. He adds that there
was a mv.xterv about the aflhir which
never was cleared up.
Of course there was. There has
alwius h(in a mystery connected with
even ir.r.ui with which Valentine has
been connected. There was a mys
tery about thoae frauds in connection
with government horses. There was
a mystery which John Rush has ucver
been able to explain connected with
the thief of his little homestead.
Another mystery, which cost the state
$1,800, originated iu that back pay
steal for services rendered by Judge
Griffey. It always will be a mystery
why Valentine was so zealous in de
fense of the star route thieves.
All these affairs are mysterious if
explained on any other grounds than
that E. K. Valentine was and is a dis
honest mau and a corrupt politician,
unworthy of the confidence of the
community in which he lives and
totally unfitted to fill any position of
profit and trust in the gift of the peo
ple of Nebraska. Then all the mys
tery is cleared away. Omaha Bee.
Already fifteen congressmen have
been retired for participating in the
river and harbor steal. Still a few
more remaiu to meet a similar fate.
This steal appropriated $18,000,000,
more than one-half of which was for
improving trout streams aud macada
mizing the bottom of dry creeks and
improving harbors which never saw
a vessel. Such a cousumate fraud
was carried through the national leg
islature by the votes of such repre
sentatives as . K. Valentine. His
friends in recent speeches made in
this city stated that Val. voted for
thiB measure under instructions from
a resolution passed in tbo Nebraska
legislature for which M. K. Turner
voted. M. E. Turner voted for a
resolution requesting the Senate and
House of representatives of the United
States to appropriate money to
make the Missouri river safe for
steamboats and barges for at least
eight months in the year. This is on
a par with all their misrepresentations
in the campaign and probably this
one was suggested by E. K. Valentine
to fix some of that $1S000,000 steal
upon the action of his constituents
when they only petitioned for the im
provement of the Missouri river. That
statement will not win with intelli
gent voters, but will give them a true
insight into the character of the men
who wilfully and knowingly misrep
resent facts.
M. K. Turner candidate for con
gress has stirred up a wonderful bub
bub in the Third district. Thousands
upon thousands of dollar have been
spent upon eminent monopolist
speakers to make a raid upon the
voters of the Third district, and in
other ways and for other purposes
money has beeu Ireely spent to defeat
him, simply because he is in earnest
in his convictions that this gigantic
and mighty corrupting power of rail
road corporations should be checked
by law in regulating their passenger
and freight rates; prohibited from
issuing free passes to public officials,
state or national ; and compelled by
law to have their lands and property
taxed like other citizens. We doubt
whether there is a true republican,
anti-monopolist, farmer, laboring or
business man in the district who can
doubt that if these principles could
be carried out they would result
in great advantage and benefit to the
citizens of the State. Your votes
should be for and iu the interest of
the people.
Val's. supporters, who, like dying
men, are ready to grasp at straws, are
referring to Persinger's letter in the
Omaha Republican to prove the gen
uineness of their candidates nomina
tion. This move is on a par with the
general campaign work of this faction.
Mr. P. was a Valentine man from the
start and the delegation from Merrick
county that he expected to control for
Val. was secured only by representing
himself a candidate for nomination.
When these facts are considered Mr.
Persinger's assertions and actions cau
have but little weight.
The anti-monopolist county conven
tion held at Fremont last week passed
the following resolution :
Jiesolved, That we most cordially
endorse Hon. M. K. Turner as our
candidate in this district for congress,
and that we recognize in him a stand
ard bearer in whom we have full con
fidence and that we congratulate the
farmers of this district that one of
their number has been chosen to rep
resent them in this movement
Men who will wilfully and know
ingly misrepresent tacts, men who
will stand up boldly aud deny the re
corded tacts of history.and prnnouii.ee
these facts wilful falsehoods, men who
win ieii Known lies to prejudice a
man against his triends are not fit to
be trusted iu auy position of public
trust in which the people have such
an interest as they have in this present
political contpsl in the Third congres
sional district. The question is, vim
ply, shall these, unlimited corpora
lions in power submit to be regula
teu auci taxed by law the same as
other citizens aud other property.
There is uo occasion for the campaign
to run into innumerable side issues,
when the only question to decide is,
shall our legislature and the congress
of the nation make laws to govern
and regulate this gigautic power and
prcveut the issuing of free passes to
public officials, state or national. If
the voter says yes, then vote for M.
K. Turner, for he is in favor of pas
sing such laws. If the voter says no,
then vole for Valentine for he is op
posed to the adoption of such laws.
fie is now laboring to deny it, but bo
was nomiuated by this powerful in
fluence contrary to usual custom, and
is being supported by every railroad
attorney in and out of the district
and by every railroad organ in and
out of the district; and just at
the home stretch in the political race
to save him from utter defeat, $1000
in the interest of monopolists is paid
Judge Mason, a talented speaker of
the First district. If Val. is not their
mau why are those monopolists mov
ing heayeu and earth to elect him to
congress.
At a recent, meeting of general
managers and general freight agents
of the Pacific railway lines inDeuver,
to form a pool on Colorado freight at
an adjourned meeting the pool basis
formed at the recent meeting at Oma
ha waB put in writing and signed. It
gives the Union Pacific fifty-one per
cent, of Colorado trafic, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, thirty ; Santa
Fe and Denver & Rio Grande, nine
teen. Freights were not classified.
The general managers of the Union
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande
subsequently held a meeting to form
a pool on freight rates on the lines of
these roads running west of Denver.
Because the campaign on the part
of those candidates who have right on
their side and the sympathy of the
people, aud because that same cam
paign has been conducted in a proper
maimer by appealing to the intelli
gence and honesty of the voters of the
district, by proving facts that the
peoples' interests demand they should
know, facts of dishonesty in public
trust on the part of Mr. Valentine
the Omaha Republican sets up a hypo
critical howl about the dirtiness of the
campaign in the Third district, which
is only applicable to that paper and
its prototypes in this district.
THE VAsLEIVriXi: MEETING.
Oar Special Reporter oa Nome
1'hiBfc Maid aid a Oreat
IVlaay Tiling" that were
aot Said.
Editor Journal: Last Thursday
afternoon, our miss-representative,
Val., as per announcement, met at the
Court House a few of the boys, some
farmers and other citizens who want
ed to hear what the railway candidate
had to say in his defense. I say de
fense, for he at once assumed a defen
sive attitude. Why he so naturally
fell into that position it is not hard to
conjecture, and we assume that be
soon satisfied the few farmers who
were present, that he was a great
statesman, and had always exerted
bis utmost ability in that direction in
the interest of his constituents, for
long before he had finished his at
tempted vindication, the farmers had
all retired from the room in good
order. I say I assume that they lett
before he had finished, because they
were satisfied with his vindication of
himself, because they may have left
for other reasons. He gave them a
goon deal ot tatty about tarin on
grain, meat, butter, eggs and cheese,
but bs didu't read to thum the exact
language of his platform on that sub
ject, which we believe says something
about tariff on articles of luxury. He
didn't state whether or not the arti
cles above mentioned came within the
spirit and letter of his platforraor not.
We noticed, however, that in the
evening, when mechanics are apt to
have time to go and listen to such
matters, and who are, strange as it
may 6eem, liable to be interested in
getting the above mentioned articles
as cheaply as possible, our illustrious
Val. 6aid nothing on that subject.
Well as this is an agricultural state,
and mechanics know that if farm pro
duce is high their wages will feel the
sympathetic touch of a kindred occu
pation, I presume it makes but little
difference to them ; it is only the looks
of the thing. I wanted to ask the
honorable gentleman, why he didn't
do so some more, about high tariff on
articles of luxury, that is to say, flour,
meat, butter, eggs and cheese, but as
be is a statesman and I am not, and he
had the floor and I didn't, I concluded
that I wouldn't make a fool of uyself,
by asking such foolish questions, as to
why he said so much about tariff in
the aiteruoon to a very small audience
of tariuers, and nothing about it in the
evening to a ve large audience of
consumers, etc,
Val. said a good many thiugs at the
afternoon meetiug alter the farmers
had left, and he so overwhelmed us
with his gush of gab, that we cau't
lenifniber all that he did say, in 'aet
our 1 mit d cip.'icity in that direc i n
.itt- retained but little. One or two
points, however, we still remomber,
and one of these was that be knew
uo lung about hi dishonorable dis
tharge from the army tor complicity
in some horseswinldliug arrangement,
until he saw a mr.niiou of it iu the
Journal of Oct 18th. Aud another
thing that he said was that he had
been instructed by the people of this
rt ate and other western states, through
various Missouri river iuipivven.ent
conferences, to vote for the river and
harbor bill. These things he said:
but there was, as I now remember, a
good many things that ha did not say.
He did not say that Special Order
No. 22) of th War Depart ment, dated
May llih, 1866, h' published in the
Journal oi Oct. 25 h, wan a fraud, a
lubrication or in any maimer untrue.
He did not say that he had not been
courtmartialed and that order duly
made. He did not say that Special
Order 220, as published in the Jour
nal ia not a true aud correct copy
Irom the omYc of the War Depart
ment on that subject. He did not bay
that orders ot that character were
frequently made and modified at the
War Department, and the parlies In
iuterest know nothing about it. No ;
lie said none of these foolish things;
but he did explaiu these mysterious
orders, to the s.itislactiou ot all his
listeners, by unbuttoning his coat and
pointing to a Grand Army badge that
was attached to hi vest, whereupon
everybody voted that Order No. 220
was a forgery, although Val. didn't
say so; in fact he didn't say much
about it. Ho was conspicuously re
served on the subject.
He torgot to say anything about his
action on the floor of Congress, in
urging the expediting of a cert in
mail route, known as the Rjck dejk
route, at an enormous increase oi ex
pense, and urging it, as he claimed,
because ho kuew what he was talking
about. He knew that the necessities
of the country required it, that the
people supplied by mail facilities by
thi9 route were hungry and thirsting
for a daily mail both ways. He for
got to say that not many moons
elapsed until special mail ageut John
B. Fury deuounced many things in
the said route as a fraud, and at one
slash had the expense reduced from
$100,000 to $20,000 per year, cutting
off a net profit of -$80,000. He forgot
to say thai Brady, of Star Route fame,
was chief iu this Rock Creek route
business.
He forgot to Bay that the Missouri
river improvement conference, did
uot tell him to vote to put $10,714,875,
in important creeks and bogs, or, more
properly speaking, in the pocket6 of
swindliug contractors, ur order that
he might get an appropriation of
$925,000 to improve the Missouri. We
don't know of any one but E. K.Val
entine with audacity enough to call
that following instructions. Presi
dent Arthur by special message of
April, 1882. recommended Congress
to give their earnest and immediate
attention to improvement of the great
water highways of the west, the Mis
sissippi and Missouri rivers and their
tributaries; but when Congress pro
duced the monstrosity known as the
river and harbor bill, it met with his
disapproval was vetoed and returned.
He also forgot to say anything
about not having taken any action in
Congress to compel the U. P. railway
to pay taxes nn their laud, aud to re
duce its freight tariff aud passenger
rates over their bridge at Omaha. If
my memory serves me right there
was a good many such matters that he
forgot to say anything about. But I
readily excufe him for bis forgetful
ness on the ground that ho is one of
those great men, who have forgotten
so much more thau other people ever
knew. Magog.
