Every republican on the ticket if

There is no candidate on the re

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

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

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

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

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

he will honor himself and justly rep

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.

and it is safe to say that tLese. by their
votes, will place the seal of their ap

JOHX G. EOCTSO.V,

to have him say that two and two

not the shortest distance between two
points, as to change his conduct of a

From J. A. Turner, who returned
,, , , , ...
Monday from a short visit into Boone
coantv, we learn that Spencer Phil-
lips and his son Jav, perished in the
- -,, .looi - . u- t.
snow storm of the 23d mst., which
' iAams tn Sftra fian rnir qvo.q ;
with sufficient coveriug for an emerg
ency of this kind, and so were chilled
to death. The first trace was the
finding of their team, tied o the
wagon a considerable portion of the
wagon bed having been eat bv the
horses, which were yet alive.
The body of the father was found
lying across that of the son. as though
he had been trying to shield him from
the storm, and preserve within him
the heat of life.
The bodies were found near Hack
berry Gulch, by parties who had been
to the Neligh laDd office on business.
