Thk bar in this district is nearly unanimous in its support of A. M. Post Schuyler Sun. Two young men took out licenses to marry the same girl, in Foraythe, county, Georgia, and she refused them both. It is stated in an exchange that Tallandingham's ghost has appeared in several of the back counties in Ohio. Judge A. M. Post is a talented lawyer and stands acknowledged as one of the ablest district judges in the state. Ulysses Dispatch. Conductors on the Denver & Bio Grande railway are provided with medicines and surgical instruments, with illustrated directions for use in case of accident A beport comes from TitUBviJle, Pa., that thirty wells in the Allegheny fields have stopped flowing. This probably foretokens collapse of the New York oil field. J. D. Croan's warehouse and stock of implements were burned the other night at South Auburn, Neb., also the office and some stock of the Chicago Lumber Co. Insurance, $3,500. Patrick Eagax, the great Irish agitator is in Lincoln, Neb., and filed in the District Court his intention of becoming an American citizen. He expects. to engage in business in that city. There is much surprise at London owing to dispatches from America, stating that Canadian detectives have eUscorered a plot to murder Lord Lansdown, the governor general of Quebec. Wm. Eaton, a compositor in the office of the Danyille (Vt.) North Star is in his eighty-fourth year, and has been setting type constantly for near ly seventy years, having loBt but very few days. It is stated in an exchange that wolves make night hideous in the woods north of Plattsmouth by their howling and yelpB. We bad thought that Plattsmouth was located in a civilized country. Gxn. Sherman has selected Cols. Tonrtelotte and Bacon as members of his staff, to remain with him in St. Louis after being retired from com mand of the army, and until he is placed on the retired list. The bloody fight between the stu dents of Princeton College and the boys of the town in which that great moral institution is located is a force able reminder that the education of the youth of the country has been resumed. The trial of Matt Zimmerman at Kearney on the 25tb, resulted in a verdict of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to be hanged on the 4th day of February, 1884. His counsel moved for a new trial, but Judge Gaslin overruled the motion. In 1878 Georgia made it a penal offence to circulate the Police Gazette. A young man by the name of Mont rose violated the law, was arrested, and sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 or pass a year in the chain gang. An exchange remarks that such a law would be a good thing for the morals of the people in every state. The OhI Election. Hon. A. J. Sampson of Colorado was visiting friends in the city last week returning to Denver, from Ohio, where he took a part in the recent cam paign under direction of the state central committee ; hence is qualified to speak of the late election. A Jour nal reporter met him and in an in terview elicited the following : "What do you think were the causes of the republican defeat in Ohio this fall?" "One was the reduction of the wool tariff by the last congress. Ohio is a large wool producing state. The re publicans in congress had generally voted for the bill on its final passage, by which the reduction was made, although during the various steps towards its final passage tbey bad persistently fought against the reduc tion and the democrats for it, and fur a still greater reduction, but on the final passage of the bill voted no. Wool was but one of a thousand items affected by the bill. If wool alone, the great bulk of the republicans would have voted no and the demo crats yes, reversing their votes, as indicated by the previous speeches aid votes. Begardless of this record, by persistent lying, newspaper and circular demagoguery the democrats succeeded in influencing many repub licans to believe that the republicans in congress were the advocates of the reduction of the wool tariff, always, ef course, referring to the final vote, hence the enemies of the wool grow ers, and thus got them to vote the democratic ticket. "Another important cause was the 'second amendment' or prohibition question. And on this it was not so much the fault of the liquor men as of the 'prohibitionists,' as the votes of temperance and anti-temperance coun ties would indicate. These indicate that in many instances a prohibition ist in the republican party would trade off the entire ticket for a demo cratic vote for the 'second amend ment.' Thev seemed to act on the belief, as was the fact in many in stances, that prohibition in the con stitution was sufficient, without any law to enforce it. Under such cir cumstances it is remarkable that the republicans did as well as they did. They reduced the democratic majori ty of one year since ten thousand, votes, and with prohibition out of the road next year will wheel Ohio into the republican ranks by not less than twenty thousand majority. Then the democrats have the state legislature, and with a prohibition vote in the state of nearly 325,000, and a power ful liquor influence, they can scarcely steer between the Scylla and Charyb dis of political ruin, and may increase the republican majority next year to fifty thousand. You may put Ohio down as sure for a republican major ity in 1884, unless something worse than the late republican defeat strikes her. "Again, the republican central com mittee was an excellent one but had not enough funds for legitimate cam paign purposes. Tney did not nave, for the entire state campaign, as mucn money as the democrats spent in one county alone, that of Hamilton. The chairman of the state executive com mittee informed me that during the last two weeks of the campaign they were badly crippled, having to drop many of their appointments and drop several prominent speakers from oth er states, wbo would have been with them on the 'home stretch if expen ses could have been met. This was a great misfortune, as the people turned out to meetings well, and the explan ation of the wool tariff questiou, and others, never failed to make republi can votes. "Many other questions affected the campaign more or less, but the fore going were the principal- causes of defeat." "Are the republicans discouraged over the defeat?" "Not at all. They are fighting mad, to think that low demagoguery and the treachery of those who should have been their best friends resulted in defeat, and tbey are in excellent 'fighting trim' and will be in constant training for next year's victory. Ohio need not be put down as a 'doubtful' state for '84, but as certainly repub lican." "What effect will the recent decis ion of the supreme court of the U. S., in the civil rights question, have on the republican party ?" "Good. The republicans in con gress will unite to give the colored people that which it was supposed tney bad and which they should nave, equal civil rights, by appropriate leg islation next winter. Of course the democrats will oppose it. The result will he once more the solid colored vote will he with the republican par ty and in '84 numerous of the south ern states will give handsome repub lican majorities. The republican party fiafl a better prospect of winning in the next presidential contest, than for the last three, from the present out-look. The time has not yet come for the late enemies of the nation to get supreme control and will not, cer tainly, for at least four yean." There is no one that pretends to believe that J. R. Williams can beat Post. Post has made an able, honest Judge, and there is no reason why he should not be elected to the position be now holds. Every lawyer in this district will concede that Post is by far the abler man. Williams may be a nice man, but he will have to wait some time before be can reasonably hope to step into the shoes now worn by Judge Post. Fremont Tribune. The funeral obsequies of the late Major General James B. Steadman took place at Toledo, Ohio, on the 22d, and were attended by the largest fathering the state ever saw. At least 10,000 persons were present. The funeral cortege was of a very impos ing character and over four miles in length. The ceremonies were held at Woodlawa. in which the remains were placed in a vault, pending their interment in a private lot recently donated for that purpose. Votebs should see that every state ticket that passes through their hands mas on it the name of M. B. Bee-e for Jadge of the Supreme Court. There will be quite an effort made to place m that ticket the name of another gentleman, and if it is looked after a little the object will be defeated, and good and trusty man like Beese elected. Voters shenldbe sire that this part ef the state ticket is not tampered with, and that every repb jkam votes it clean for Beese. Xfce Bailiff nanisms. It has been a pretty general im pression that our county affairs might be administered a good deal more economically than tbey have been. How much has been wasted or worse than wasted of the people's money no one can tell, until a thoroughly com petent man is employed to go through the books aud make a complete state ment of affairs. Until the last term of the district court, it seems to have been the cus tom of the sheriff to appoint bailiffs, and these being rather more numer ous than seemed necessary, the court, as the law provides, appointed at the last term. We have had only a few minutes at onr disposal to gather some facts in this direction. In the proceedings for May we find bills allowed for bailiffs as follows : John Walker $14; John Huber $16; Benj. Spielman $22 ; Harry Newman $22; J. J. Maugban $6; Thos. Burke $4; James Flynn $2; G. B. Speice $14; C A. Brindley $14 $114 in all. The proceedings in July show M. Scbram, Sr., $18 ; J. Huber $1S ; Har ry Newman $18; Thos. Burke $10; G. B. Speice $14; C. A. Brindley $14, in all $92. For Oct. 2d, the proceedings show Harry Newman $14; M. Scbram $14; J. J. H. Beedy $14, and Thos. Burke (a'ot stated what for) $12. It wonld seem that two bailiffs wonld have been, at any term of the court, a sufficient number for all that bailiff usually have to do. Newman and Scbram were appointed as such by the Judge at the last term. But will C A. Newman, present clerk of the oenrt, Jtnd democratic candidate for 'court? treasurer, please tell -the 1 people by what authority J. J. H. Reedy clerked for him, and received pay as bailiff? We learn at the Court House that it has been customary heretofore for the sheriff to appoint bailiffs, and that the commissioners had looked the matter up, and directed the court to appoint them hereafter. The truth is that the bills for this particular kind of office (whose functions seem to have stretched wonderfully in these modern days and been allowed to include a clerk's duties) bad grown under Mr. Kavanaugh's administra tion to 6ucb dimensions that it was necessary for the county commission ers to give it their special attention. Of course, while we have given the names of the men employed, with the amountB received, there is no reflec tion against them, but the Journal aud the tax payers of this county would like to know of Mr. Kavan augh why he has needed more than two bailiffs, if not to do a part of bis work and receive their pay for it from the county? And the same query is also appropriate to -Mr. Newman Have you appointed bail iffs? Have tbey done other duty than as your clerks? By what authority of law did you appoint them, and by what authority of law have they drawn pay out of the county's money for doing your work? Personally, we make here no objec tions to theso gentlemen, but the acts of officials touching public interests are fair subjects of newspaper com ment at any time, and tbey should do nothing without the authority of law and nothing that they would be ashamed to give the widest publicity. A few Remarks that Xaanahill Made at Kedenbaash School lloawe ia Shell Creek Precinct Oct. 29 tli, ToarhlHGT one Point, and which seem to be facts. Gentlemen, I came up here not for the purpose of saying anvthing, but I see that there is no excuse for any one from the vicinity of Columbus. Now, Gentlemen, I advocate a change in our court house. Since 1 came here it occurred to me that some thing ought to be sad in regard to coal furnished by the count7. The old saying that cents make dollars still holds good, but the fuel question is one little thing that perhaps the county known little of. There are six stoves and fuel furnished by the county. One at the county judge's office up town and not at the court house, where he should properly be; one in the jail; one in the clerk's office; one in the treasurer's office and two at the sheriff's house. Four burn hard coal, and the clerk's, treasurer's and judge's burning night aud day all winter, making 24 hours every day for fuel, where there are eight hours work in each office, except the judge's, being occupied by the city judge. He sometimes has longer cases, but it is all the same, as the county furnishes the stores and tucl. This makes six teen hours that the three offices are not occupied by any one but three red-hot stoves being (for the three) 48 hours of unnecessary stove work every day, 288 every six day?, to which add all of Sunday (24), giving 312 every week or 1248 every four weeks or month, and for 7 months at least, will make S73G hours of lost fuel. I have known Mr. Newman to go to the court house on Sundays to put in more coal so as to keep it going until Monday. Mr. Newman arose and said that he should like to explain that coal business. He eaid that as much ink aB they used at the court house it was necessary to keep the fires going to keep the ink from freezing (great applause), and that the commissioners had figured it up and found it cheaper to keep the stoves burning all the time. Well, gentlemen, we have the com missioners words for it, through Mr. Newman. Now, that being the case, every school board in Platte county should get hard-coal stoves and keep them running 1CS hours every week. Why, bow pleasaut it would be for the teachers to conic to the school houses and find a good warm room with their ink not frozeu ! Mr. Eavanaugh arose and said that he was surprised that Tannahill should make these remarks, as he kept a fire burning all the time in his greenhouse. Applause, with remark, "The county doesn't pay for the coal." r. &. Mr. ran nam 'I informs us that when he came home at 3 o'clock in the morning, aite the meeting, passing by the court house ho noticed the red-hot stoves, when the ink wouldn't have frozen if it bad been out of doors.

As to the judicial district tickets in the present campaign, from what we know of them there is absolutely no comparison to be made between the two. The bar of this district has man)7 able members, and scarcely any but of good ability, and it would ab solutely be a shame that a man so little qualified as Mr. Williams is re ported to be, should be elected to preside over them, especially as against A. M. Post, wbo has filled the office so ably since his appointment by Gov. Dawes. He is courteous, careful, studious, learned in the law, and would command the respect of the bar for his judicial qualities. His companion on the ticket for district attorney, Col. Marshall, is one of the ablest attorneys in the district, a tried and true man in the exercise of official trust. The friends of good government who wish an able ad ministration of the laws will see to it that the names of Past and Marshall are on their tickets" The candidate for Judge in the 4th District is Hon. Alfred M. Post, of Platte county. Mr. Post is a man thoroughly competent for that posi tion. He will be remembered by the people of Nance county by the fair, prompt and impartial manner in which he conducted the last term of court at Fullerton. If the voters of Nance county wish fair, honest and business like "courting" they should be sure $at the name of Alfred M. Post is upon-tbeir ticket when they go to vote.
