Tatbick Michael O'Blaike" seems to havo been at home by a large majority. Ten thousand square feet haye been reserved for Nebraska exhibits at the New Orleans exposition. It was recently announced that the Chinese had closed the mouth of the Canton river to steamers. In New York on the 9th no less than seventeen prostrations from heat occurred. Three persons died.

Republican to Democratic County officer "Did you hear from Maine?" Democrat officer" , no. We don't hear from Maine." In the tobacco growing section of Wisconsin tho crop has been harvest ed, and a better quality of the ''weed" was never boforo raised. Baltimore shipped 61,000 barrels of oysters to Europe last year. The for eign demand for American bivalves is constantly increasing. One family has mado all the paper used for Bank of Eugland notes.

Hull, lately of Clarksville, la., is going to start a paper at the prospective town of (iordon, Sioux county, nearly 100 miles west of Val entine. Recent report from Naples states that in one day there were 800 fresh cases of cholera and 800 deaths in that city. Tho town prcsonts a sad appearance. Turf Democrat talks about the "apoBtacy to the democratic parly" of the Blaine Irishmen, much tho same as though the Irish were owned by tho Democracy. According to recent results of the finest instrumental tests, as to the propagation of electricity, an electric signal travels at tho rate of 16,000 miles per second. Important gold discoveries have recently been made in the Little Rocky mountains, ono hundred miles northeast of Benton. Thoso claims already worked pay six to eleven dollars per day. The Chicago News ihinss that Church Howe is fitted toleil the pub lic sentiment of Nebraska because ho has just completed a six weeks tour with a threshing machine. Tho News must not belittle Nebraska. The Neligh Advocate thinks "it is painfully apparent that tho railroads aro not yet out of politics," and that you havo got to live along the line of either the B. & M. or U. P. railroad if yon want an office in Nebraska. We hadn't supposed that tho Dem ocrats wit would descend to printing it thus, "Benjamin Franklin butler," but it did, aud now, of course, old Ben will feel very much humiliated. And this may be called argument by a man of intellect. The directors of the National Bank of New Jersey have authorized a public statement made that the capi ta! of the bank remains intact and that there is no reason why the bank hould not resume business.

For the state senate none but republicans have been returned, whilo in the honse but two democrats will have seals. Two-thirds of tho Irish-Americans in tho state voted for tho repub lican candidates, and is considered as significant of the result of tho Nation al election. Bab Harbor, Me., Sept. 12. Tho following dispatch was sent to-day : lion. John A. Logan, Chicago. From official and unofficial return h, tho totiil rcBnlt of the Maine election cau now be stated with approximate exactness. The total votowill reach ono hnndrcd and forty-two thousand, tho largest ever thrown in this slate with a single exception. Governor Robie's vote will exceed seventy-nine thousand, the largest by four thousaud ever thrown for any candidato in the state. His majority over his democratic com petitor will exceed 20,000 and may reach 24,000, tho largest attained in any presidential year sinco the repub lican party was organized. The scat tering vote will exceed 3,500. (Signed) Walker Blaine. A PIC-NIC. The shouts of victory may oftimos be fitly sounded through tho organs of tho enemy. The Boston Advertiser on tho morning of tho Maino olection, said that 15,000 for Blaino would prove Senator Hoar correct when he said tho Republican party was purer and stronger than ever before; the Philadelphia Times that 15,000 major ity wonld be an unerring index of a Blaino tide. Taking the enemy at their word, the tide for Blaine is beyond dispute, and the Republican party is acknowledged stronger and purer than ever before, by a majority of 5,000 and better. What more conld Blaino's friends have asked of Blaine's neighbors ? It is said that the majority is the largest ever given in Maine for a re publican candidato for governor in a presidential year; that every candi date on the stato ticket is elected ; that every county in the state has been carried by the republicans ; that every member of the State senate is a repub lican and tho house overwhelmingly republican; that all tho republican congressional candidates are elect ed, &c. It seems to have been a sort of re publican pic-nic all around. A good German Republican citizen met us the other day and desired to know if the 6tate republican conven tion at Omaha had paesed a resolution saying that they did not desire the votes of any foreigners in Nebraska he had been told so, be said. Men have got pretty low down in the scale of hnman existence when they will descend to lies of tbis sort. The re publican party of Nebraska and of the Union is proud to havo within its folds men of every clime and of all nationalities who have come here to enjoy tho blessings of a free republi can government, and to better their condition; she asks the men who think for themselves; tho men who are striving to gaiu a competence for themselves and families ; the men who intend to do thoir share toward mak ing this country what it ought to bo in every particular, all these aro in vited and welcomed to the folds of the republican parly, a party the very breath of whose life is freedom, under just law6, and whose animating prin ciple hati been and is that America shall continue to bo the hope of The down-trodden and tho lefuge of the persecuted. The Republican party desires political fellowship with all good men who have the interests of their con u try at heart, aud denounces any such expression as that quoted in the beginning of this articlo as wick edly and maliciously false. TaHnaiy Meeting: The Tammany mass racotiug has been held and endorsed tho nomina tion of Cleveland and Hendricks amid considerable noise and opposi tion, by a vote of S10 to 89. Ex-Senator Grady 'h speech in the meeting occupied an hour in the do livery and was hold, bitter aud defiant against Cleveland. He de clared he would not vote for Cleve land. The cries for John Kelly to speak were frantic. That gentleman shook his head and spoko not. It wonld appear from these indica tions that Tammany wants to be' re corded with tho ticket, but will vote largely against it Geo. W. E. Dorsey is the only re publican congressional nominee whom tho Omaha Bee will support. Mr. Dorsey is in a position to do tho people of this district a great deal of good. Ho owes his nomination to no "machine" or corporation and is free to act in accordance with bis own de sires. He is a man who has all the means at his command that ho conld and does wish aud will therefore de vote his time and his energies to the benefit of his constituency rather than to schemes of unquestionable charac ter to feather his own nest. Fremont Tribune. It is a very entertaining spectacle to see tho democratic party running a "reform and morality" campaign with a libertine and moral leper as its can didate for president, a copperhead for vice-president, and a forger, briber and corroptionist as chairman of its national committee, the authorship, or promulgation, of the infamous Morey letter having at last been fastened upon "Mule" Baruum. As soon ex pect figs from thistles as reform, purity and honesty from such a source ; and the best of it all is, the people know it. Ord Quiz. EGANtt VIEWS. As Set Forth ! m Letter t the State Jnraal. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 4, 1884. Editor State Journal: Your contemporary, the Daily State Democrat, having on two distinct occasions referred, as I consider, most unwarrantably and unfairly to my political opinions now refuses, con trary to all recognized rales of decent journalism, to publish any but a gar bled copy of my reply. I send you herewith the letter which I addressed to that journal in full, and beg yon will do me the favor of placing it before the pnblic. Yours truly, Patbick Egan. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3, 1S84. The Editor Daily State Democrat, Sir: For the second time within the past three weeks yon have dragged my namo into tho political campaign, although up to tho present moment I have never publicly spoken or writ ten a single word to give yon, as a journalist, any ground for so doing. Bcforo tho late Boston convention of tho Irish national leaguo, I had, as the result of close observation and careful research, mado up my mind that thero existed no good gronnds why the democratic parly should hold any mortgago on my voto because I hap pened to be an Irishman. I weighed with caro and deliberation tho merits of the two presidential candidates and I came to tho conclusion that neithor as an Irishman nor as an adopted citizen of America could Mr. G rover Clevoland havo my support. The case of Mr. John Dovoy on on which you have again and again referred to as the only gronnd of my opposition to Mr. Cleveland, was only one of the many objections which I entertained to that gentleman. I did indeed consider the treatment meted out to Mr. Dovoy of the vory basest kind and as a strong evidence of either tho hostility and contempt of Mr. Cloveland for Irishmen of national opinions, but I objected also to Mr. Cleveland as the pet candidate of tho London Times, tho London Standard, tho London Daily Tele graph, tho London Daily News, the London St. James Gazette, tho Lon don Saturday Iievieio, in fact of the entire English press. I objected to him as the pet candidate of Puck and Harper's Weekly, as the author of in numerable vetoes in the interest of the great monopolies, and as a man who had, as I believed, proved him self the enemy of every jnst right of the toiling millions. I objected to Mr. Cleveland because I felt proud of tho country of my adoption and be cause I felt that, in the words of the Boston Pilot, a straight out and out democratic organ "ho has not a sin gle quality large enough to fit him for the Presidency of the United States." I had made up my mind to support Mr. Blaine because from long obser vation I had como to regard him as the very -opposite of all this as an American of Americans, a man amongst men, as an able statesman fitted by nature and culturo and ex perience to fill with credit to the country and to himself the position of President of this great nation. These were a few of the grounds of my objection to your candidate aud my preference for Mr. Blaine and, as I havo before stated, they have never up to the present been made public by me, nor would they bo now if you had not compelled me by your unfair comments and by your unworthy sneer at "Irish wisdom" to state them. When, however, at Boston I accepted the presidency of tho Irish National league I considered that whatever my private opinion might be I was then precluded from taking any active part in American politics. Accord ingly I have abstained from taking any part, nor shall I take any so long as I hold the office. This is my position ; and I muBt beg of you, therefore, to spare me the tronble of any further contradictions or corrections on this subject. With regard to your quotation from a speech of Mrs. Parncll I yield to no ono on this side of the Atlantic in tho respect which 1 pay to the honored mother of the man whom I am proud to be able to claim as a personal friend as well as a co-worker in tho cause of Ireland Charles Stowart Parnell, and I am euro sho will not misunderstand me when I state my conviction that sho would best con sult the wolfarc of tho great move ment in which she and I arc interested and my belief that she would best consult the desire of her son by keep ing his namo entirely out of tho pres ent political contest. Yours truly, Patrick Egan. liragg'M lavilntioB Accepted. Editor Journal: No man has spoken more despairingly of the polit ical opinions of Messrs. Condon and Walker than tho writor, but after calmly reviewing tho status of both parties in this campaign and studying upon tho expressions of such men as Patrick Ford, of the Irish World, M. B. Gearon, of the Celt, Judge Bren nan and John McHugh, I have mado up my mind to accept tho Wisconsin know-nothing's invitation "to go." I have never been in Ireland myself but I feel that I have too much Irish blood in mo to train with such vile slander ers of my race as Harper and Puck. I havo all I can do to make a living now without a free trade thcoryin voguo. I am not in agony to bo set down as a "straddlcr" or floppcr but I feel independent enough to express my opinions whether they may bo of a pleasant nature or an unpleasant ono at any timo or place. They call this a free country, and thereforo I am a free man, and I shall voto for whom I please others of course can do the same. I deeply regret the actions of tho hoodlums in tho Belshazzar con vention that dared insult my race, but tho representatives of Toryism from A.D. 1776, by heavens! shall pay for It in their signal defeat in November. If Irishman labor through a cloud of ignorance in their own land which was the luminary of civilization in tho dark days, when tho ancestors of Jones and Harper were clothed in the skins of the beasts of the forest through tyranny in this country, they stand at par with the citizens of any clime for intelligence, patriotism and morality. They need no defence from mo. lac 'jacitus or jucuaunay oi American history has written with an indelible hand tho records of the Celtic race in this land of tho freo. If I am not greatly surprised the Irish and Irish-American race of this coun ty will show that they appreciate Mr. Condon's sentiments in preference to Puck and Co's. Respectfully, J. J. Ma UGH AN. The Anti-monopolists of the third congressional district have endorsed Mr. William Neville and made him their candidate for congress. Will any one be kind enough to tell us what Mr. Neville has ever done for anti-monopoly 1Bte. Mrs. M. Brown, ono of tho early settlers of Sarpy Co., Neb., was killed the other day on the Union Pacific track a 6hort distance east of Papil lion. She had started to walk to her farm a mile east of town. The train men reported at tho depot her strange conduct that when train No. 9 came alone she stood on the track until the train was almost upon her and then stepped off. Marshal Callaway start ed to investigate, but he was too late. When he reached the curve ju3t out side the switch yards he saw Mr. Brown throw horself in front of the engine of tho second section of train No. 9 and instantly 6ho was a corpse, the engine and seven cars passing over and badly mutilating her body. The latest and rccont mining nows comes from tho Big Horn region a region in which fancy has in times past built somo of her brightest and wildest dreams. A correspondent of tho Denver Tribune-Republican says considerable excitement was creatod tho other day by an alleged gold dis covery near that placo. The location is said to bo on Wolf creek, and somo very fine specimens of quartz show free gold. The general impression scorns to be that there aro rich veins of gold quartz in the Big Horn moun tains and that vicinity, and that the alleged discoveries aro bona fide. The whole country in tho vicinity of tho find has been staked out. Police-officer Fowler was shot and killed the other morning while in the performance of his duty iu Washington City by a negro desper ado named John Langstor. Fowlor waB in char go of a chain gang at work on the streets and Langstcr watching his opportunity slipped away from his fellow criminals and secretod himself in an out-houso where Fow lor found him and called on him to surrender. Langster defied arrest but the officer seized him and a strug gle began for the possession of Fow ler's pistol, Langstcr finally secured it and deliberately shot tho officer through tho heart. Omaha Bee: Mr. G. W. E. Dorsey will be taken by the anti-monoply re publicans of tho third district on pro bation. Ho comes forward with a fair promise of independence, and is in condition to remain free from en tangling alliances with the corpora tions. Mr. Dorsey has not sought the place for profit or plunder, but, as we understand him, looks upon the posi tion of congressman as a great trust. We shall tako him at hia word, aud hold him strictly accountable for his stewardship. The Wahoo Independent (Republi can) says: "Wo deliberately affirm that tho nomination of this man Wea ver by federal office-holders mainly, who depend upon him for official pap is a disgraco to the party which cau only be properly met by scratching his namo from a true republican tick et. Tho best thing for a party some times is to beat a bad nomination." The pratical question thero is, which of the candidates will most nearly represent your wishes. At West Haven, Conn., the other evening when the train on tho-Derby railroad stopped, throo men wore found riding on a truck. The train men dislodged them and a fight en sued. The tramps drew revolvers and ran tho train to Derby, whero two wero arrested, one escaped. Some passengers narrowly escaped being struck by flying bullets. The polico regard the men as professional burglars and suppose their intention was to rob the passengers. A report comes from Florence, Ala., that several Mormon emissaries havo been recently prowling around there, making Wm. Jenkins's, nine miles from town, a chief halting place. A number of men went to the house recently and fonnd two elders there. Oue named Liuton saved him self by going head foremost through a window, but the other, whoso uame was Ftillcr,waR taken out, and flogged aud turned loose, with directions to leave the county. TnE Buffalo Catholic Union and Times, quoting Hendricks's speech that it was tho desiro of his heart to have the voto of Indiana, says : "from this the enemy might say that Hen dricks believes that tho Democratic parly will he beaten, that the odium of tho defeat will rest on Clevoland, and that the vole of Indiana will kcop bis own prcstigo intact for 1888." There is a little more than the usual objection to tho hoggishncss of South Platte politicians. Tho Stautoiiifey istcr thinks North Nebraska is "tired, awful tired," and that "had sho pulled as a unit sho might hayo received de served recognition." Might is a pret ty good word in that connection, ac cording to the recollection of tho old est inhabitant. A vkry sad mistake occurred tho other night to William Collison, a telegraph operator on duty at Snake Hollow, in tho Hocking Valley, O., mines whore the property of opera tors is being guarded by troops, was shot by Guard Beaten by mistake for a striking miner who was supposed to bo in the act of setting firo to ono of tho hoppers. He died instantly. The firo engineers of tho United States at their ecssion tho other day in Chicago listened to soveral papers on "spontaneous combustion," in which the writers held to the view that granite was one of the worst possible materials with which to con struct buildiugs. It contained re cesses which, filled with water and heat, superinduced explosions. Rouss Pandelas, an old man in New York, said to have money, starves himself rathor than pay for his food. But Justice O'Reilly won't allow a mau to starve oven himself, and so committed him to tho commis sioners of public charities and correction. MIlOItTS.

Forty years ago there was not a telegraph office in existence, and the telephone as a medium of communi cation was undreamed of. There are now 51,840 telegraph offices in various portions of the world, aud they are constantly increasing.
