John Huber tells us that in about four weeks there will be a sale of cattle a few miles north ot the city. Pat. Murray has torn away the frames on the old Sutton property on Xebrarka Avenue, north of Arnold's. Contrary to custom some demo cratic candidates in Platte county are slightly alarmed.

A few verses of rhymes on Dun can election day were received at this office Monday, but we cannot make use of them, because of the personali ties. Besides the author's name was not given us. George E. Sanders has suffered another loss from prairie fire. This time besides several hundred tons of hay, he lost a span of horses from a fire started near Richland Monday. Schuyler Sun. Every republican on the ticket if elected will make a good officer, and no elector need have any scruples about voting for so good a number of men. A square, steady vote may elect all of them. Those desiring pianos at reasona ble prices will do well to inquire at" Anna & Martha Turner's book and music store, or of G. W. Kibbler and John Hammond, traveling salesmen. One of their Christie & Son piaaos -was sold toM. Togel last week, far the use of his young daughter. 1 Every Wely. If yon wish to see something fine in the way of heating and cooking stoves don't fail to call at C. D. Bar low's hardware and 6tove house.

Becker makes a specialty of these goods and will guarantee to please you. 1 The sari came oat Monday morn ing dispelling the clouds that had been hanging over for days. The wet term has proven to everybody that Nebraska can have nice, stiff mud when she has plenty of rain. A. H. Neidig has gone to Norfolk, having, with Mr. "Waterman of Iowa, purchased the property of the Jour nal of that place. J. "W. Early bought Mr. Neidig's dwelling in this city, formerly owned by W. B. Dale. There is no candidate on the re publican state, county or district tickets that any republican should decline to support. See that your tickets are square and clean, and by voting such tickets you may obtain a handsome victory. Read John TaanabilTs remarks at the Shell-Creek meeting. John struck a vein that might be worked to con siderable advantage, especially as coal is not dug out of every hillsiue in Nebraska. "Waste not" is a good maxim, even for a coanty. Farmers' mass meeting at Spoer- ry's school house, Friday evening, Nov. 2d. All the candidates, on all the tickets, are very earnestly re quested to be present, prepared to give their views publicly, on public questions which may come up. Don't fail to attend. John England was in town Sat urday and renewed his subscription to the Journal, which he has taken a long time. He is one of the oldest men who read the Jocrkal, and will be eighty-three next May. He loves to work, and can do a great deal for one of his age. The Wild West closed the season with a show at Omaha Saturday and Sunday. Several were down from here, and say the exhibition was a success. Carver goes south, while Cody will organize his hall show for the winter. Fred. Matthews met with a slight accident at Iowa City. It is believed that an unusual effort will be made to keep out re- s publican officers in Platte county at j the coming election. A square vote, , with the suppression of all fraudulent ballots, may count in an honest re publican officer. Everv republican i can afford to spend one day watching and guarding the ballot-box. Supt. Bowers of Lancaster county is calling to his aid fifteen or twenty gentlemen of intelligence and culture in his county "who will each prepare one educational lecture to be deliver ed during the winter evenings in the villages and larger country neighbor- l hoods, wherever public interest will justify it" so says the Journal. At a meeting of citizens held at West Creston Oct. 25, over which E. j A. Fulford presided, E. E. Moran ' acting as secretary, the following j "people's ticket" was put in nomina- tion : vv m. Jackson, supervisor ; Arthur Miles, treasurer: Theodore Wolf, clerk; I. J. Nichols, assessor; J E. Eggleston, road oyerseer, dist. 37 ; Willard Ellzroth, dist. 13. We were on the train coming home last Saturday evening, and be fore getting to Genoa old 56 got tired and they had to stop and let her rest. We just wish the managers of the road had been aboard and heard the flattering remarks made abouk them by the car-load of passengers. It is a disgrace that a decent engine is not furnished this branch. Albion JTetcs. Ephraim Lewis was accidentally shot under the left arm by a rifle in the hands of "Bad" Cowger, on last Sunday forenoon, dying in about an hour afterwards. The deceased is a fourteen year old son of Mr. Ed. Lewis, who lives eight miles south west of Ulysses. The accident hap pened while the boys were hunting chickens, and is indeed a sad and un timely affair. Dispatch. Mr. Silas Francisco was in town Monday, and called at Jousxal head quarters on business. In conversa tion with him about farm matters, he told us that he made a business of experimenting, on a small scale, with different varieties of seeds, and the last season he had planted, four inches apart, two ounces of "Welcome" oats, and had harvested 464 ounces there from. He purposes experimenting, next year, in a similar way but on a larger scale. It will be really necessary to watch the entire republican ticket, as the opposition has already got some very bad men mixed up with the names of candidates to influence votes against them. A little careful inves tigation will disclose to you that George W. Clark, the republican can didate for sheriff, is a first-rate, clever man and well qualified to make a first-class sheriff, and by no means the kind of man some of the opposition have attempted to mix him up with. Republican voters should be sure that their tickets have the name of George W. Clark for sheriff. The political enemies of George W. Clark, the republican candidate for sheriff; are reporting that he is a prohibitionist, and this they must be doing simply to bare men vote against Mm, on prejudice. Mr. Clark, like s great many other of our good citizens, is neither a prohibitionist nor a drunkard. In the discharge of the duties of the ofica of sheriff we feel very sure that Mr. Clark would act fairly and impartially with all cittern of citizens, and that, in no case, at bo time, whether in a anddea esargancy requiring all tna amargy and activity that caald be exacted, or M tne atdjaary course of aasinesi, win he aa t oaad draak ar disabled ay liqaac Ma is aad has baam.alto- Commty Ticket. GUS. G. BECHEE, The candidate for county treasurer, was born at Pilsen, Austria, in 1S45. In 1545, his father emigrated to -St. Louis, Mo., at which place, in the Christian Brothers Academy, Gu3. received a considerable portion of his education. In 1857, Mr. Becher's father removed to this city, Gu3. fol lowing in 1559, in the meantime going to echool. For eight years thereafter he was a clerk :n the hardware store w 7 a n , : , JZZl of Hurford At Bro. at Omaha, where ue maue muj irrenua. Ai uyu After that he ceeding four years was engaged m the United States service, under Ma- jor Frank North, with the Pawnee Scouts. In Tl he served as enrolling clerk in the state senate. After his return he started in his present busi ness, in which he takes great pride, and in which he has been very suc cessful, enjoying the confidence, and winning the good will of every man with whom he does business. The county's money and the county treas couniya money ami we couniy ire, - urer's duties will be safe in his hands. HEXE T KAGATZ, The nominee for county clerk, was bom in Sauc countv, Wisconsin, in the vear 1854. His father was one of the early pioneers of that then fron- tier state, emigrating from Switzer land in 1S38, and settling in Prairie Du Sac, Sauc Co., Wisconsin, the same year. His mother was a native of Germany, so he is a full-booded descendant of that sturdy, independ ent, frugal, persevering stock, that j ScnooT Tad and !aie in the cross from the lands of William Tell ?"-" l irtrr?

TT . , . , , tne county is welt known to intelli- zenship. Henry was born and raised ! . ' ,a nri iphnnl nffl,ra x,n on a farm, doing the manual labor expected of boys of his age in that position, and receiving the advanta ges of a common school education during the winter months, ending with three terms at the high school in the city of Prairie Du Sac ; thence he served a five year's clerkship iu a general store in his native town, re moving to this city in the early spring of 1379, where he started in the gen eral grocery trade, in which he has met with the invariable success that honesty, prudence, economy and in defatigable energy insure. Last spring, unsolicited and unexpected by him, bis friends nominated him for councilman of the second ward of this city. His opponent was one of the most prominent democrats in the city, but Mr. Ragatz was elected by a handsome majority in the old demo cratic ward. To those who know Henry Ragatz no word of commenda tion is needed, and his friends predict his election to the office of county clerk as a certainty. AUGCSTtrS W. CLAKK, The republican candidate for clerk of the district court, was born in Ashtabula Co., Ohio, June 1L 1S39. In 1S4S his familv removed to La I Salle Co., 111., where his early youth and manhood years were passed. In 1379 he removed to this county, hav ing previously purchased the farm formerly owned by W. H. Gibson northeast of the city. Mr. Clark is one of those quiet, un assuming, caretul gentlemen who , seldom make mistakes and wno never blunder, just the qualities needed in ine aiscuarge oi me uuiies oj ciertc. Wise to apprehend the law and the instructions of the court, he has none of that peculiar smartness, character-1 istic of so many cierks, which leads ' them to assume the judicial func- J tions, at odd times and stases of legal i proceedings. He will make an ex- , cellent clerk. j GEOK6E W. CLARK. The gentleman whom the republicans of Pfatte county hare named for the office of sheriff, was born in Colum biana Co., Ohio, March 11. 1S49. In '51 his parents moved to Wisconsin Young Clark was brought up on a farm, with the usual good fortune of j farmer lads in having plenty of work , during all the year, with an opportu nity in the winter months of attend ing the district public school, of which he made such good use that early in i life he was qualified to teach, which he did several years, before and since he removed to Nebraska. I Ten years ago Mr. Clark came to ' Nebraska, locating on government land in the northern part of Platte ; county, then known as Stearns Prai- rie, and engaged in tilling the soil in : summer and teaching school in win- ' ter. ' Since 1S77 he has been engaged in the insurance business, and in March ' of this year opened an insurance and j real estate office at Humphrey, a very thrifty business-center of Platte Co., where he is pursuing the even tenor of his way. Mr. Clark, it is scarcely worth while for us to add, is an honest, capable man, of excellent personal habits, and he will make a crood D t a i sheriff as Platte countv ever had . m ... ... m.1. ? j ,-,V.T;r t uuiumuwiuug, uuupug, geuueman- , ..,, uf,..u., ..u .i, ..... iu tfti. i.-inw...., uuu, uxiuuuiscau- teo, uivei vet jviuuiv. xue men i who vote for him can feel an assur- i ance that in the discbarge of the du ties of the responsible office of sheriff, he will honor himself and justly rep resent the interests of the public. WALTER S. WELLS, candidate for county judge, was born at Johnstown, N. Y., In 1S57. He comes of good parentage, bis father, John Wells, having served several terms as judge of Fulton county, N. Y., and one as a member of" the national congress. Young Wells at tended the public schools of his native town and afterwards Union Univer sity, at Schenectady, graduating in June, 1S7S. Two years afterwards he graduated from the Albany Law School. In 1SS0 he removed to Wheeler county, this state, and in September, 1832, to Platte county, where he now resides and practices law, being & member of the firm of Walker & Wells. The people of the county who do not know Mr. Wells, will have an opportunity during the campaign of making his acquaintance. In the conduct of his office he would pride himself in doing his whole dutv by the interests that would come under his charge. JOSEPH BIVET, Republican nominee for county com missioner, is one of nature's noble men, an honest man. The voters of the county who have had business before the Commissioners' Court, have found in him a man attentive to busi ness and anxiously desiring to under stand and do his whole duty, in the interests of the public whom he serves. JOHX TAXXAHILL, Republican candidate for connty com missioner, was born at Huntingdon, Canada, March 12, 1845, and is there fore in the 38th year of his age. In 1856, his father removed to Chicka saw county, Iowa. John was the oldest child of the family, and when his father enlisted in the service cf the United States in 1861 (in the 7th Iowa) John had a good deal to look after, for a boy of sixteen ; still more, when his father, after having honora bly served his country, in the vicissi tude of battle was taken prisoner at Belmoat, aad died at Annapolis just after baiag excaanred. i irfUtau. patriotic yauag men i of the time, however, the incidents of the war, the cause of the Union, and the necessitv of the preservation of the government were so engrossing that the beginning of the year 1S65 found young Tannahill, at the age of 20, enlisted in the 156th Illinois regi- ment, and campaigning in Georgia in Gen. A. J. Smith's division. Of course his service was brief, because the war soon ended. In the seven months of his companionship with the boys m blue he was thoroughly im- ' bQed th tfae militarv saint, and if , .. , - m ,. .,- ' umat(.

We don't know of a single enemv ( that Mr. Tannahill has in all the wide world, and his friends will take pleas ure in voting for him, because thev can do so without misgivings of any sort. J. 2. MOSCRIEF, the candidate for connty superintend- take anv interest in public instruction, and it is safe to say that tLese. by their votes, will place the seal of their ap proval upon his ac'ions. He makes a very carefn! superintendent, and is economical in the expenditure of the countv's monev. JOHX G. EOCTSO.V, named by his political friends as can- didate for survevor, is thoroughly well qualified for'the place in every respect, not only as a capable j :count- ant but as oemg acquainted with the I lands or the countv. Besiciea which,' his work will be 'done, as it alwav I has been done, without reference "to I how it will affect one man or another, but exactly as it ought to be, squarins with the law and each man's right. This is John's uniform way of doing things, and a man might as well try to have him say that two and two make five, or that a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points, as to change his conduct of a public office. CAEHOLL D. EVANS, named for coroner, was born in 135G. at Tarentum. Penn.. a town near Pittsburg. He received his mental training at the Tarentum Academv. the Pennsylvania Porter Collesre and the College of Physicians and Sur geons, Baltimore, Md , where he srad uated. In the latter city he served in the Baltimore City Hospital for eighteen months, where he acquired practical knowledge in surgery which has been of good use to him in his nracMcf? For several vears he en- t r" gaged in the work of his profession at oiauiuru, x ecu., uer wuicu ue came to Nebraska, settlinsr in this city in May 13S2, since which time many of our readers have been acquainted with the doctor and his work, He has shown himself versed in professional knowledge, with nerve enough for any emersency required. ana would make a good sherm in anv t contingency that would require him to serve.

Whitmoyer, the following resolu tions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Death has removed from the scenes of this life our esteemed brother, Willis S.

On motion, it is ordered that a copy of the above be spread upon the rec ords ot the district court. Bwilders. Those who think of building or are in need of any hardware, stoves or tinware will find it to their advantage to call and examine goods and prices at tr. JJ. Barlow's hardware and stove bouse. 3-27tf Gentlemen, it will not do. The f theory "Get there, Eli," tha"t is, gain the election by fair means or foul, is not correct. Rest exclusively on your merit, and on honest work. Public office is a sacred trust, to be exercised strictly in the interests of the public, J T .., i iuu you must, not oau upon tms j trust in order to boost yourself into office. We have urged upon those who have been promised deputvships by democratic candidates (who. we may now say, are not so confident of election as thev were ten davs aire) to give us their names, confidentially, . is not a thief a gambler or a peniten that we mizht inform each of them siaiT bird, as has been whispered bow many there were, all told.

Now, we suggest that this is not treating all parties fairly. If one man is entitled to a promise or contract in writing, why ( not anothpr' PlainK- hf i We -til! insist on the list, because it will show the duplicity of candidates better than anything else can, and then, please state whether you have the promise in writing (so that it cannot well be disavowed) or by mere word of mouth. Present your oral promise at headquarters and demand a written one instead, and then call for judg ment. The day of reckoning is now. This buying of influence and votes has jrone about far enough.
