The result of the Maine election
gives the Republican candidate for

all the republican congressmen. For
the state senate none but republicans
have been returned, whilo in the

in tho state voted for tho repub

The total votowill reach ono hnndrcd

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

(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

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

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.

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.

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

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

his opportunity slipped away from
his fellow criminals and secretod
himself in an out-houso where Fow

but the officer seized him and a strug

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

who depend upon him for official pap

his namo from a true republican tick

times is to beat a bad nomination."

TnE Buffalo Catholic Union and
Times, quoting Hendricks's speech
that it was tho desiro of his heart to

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
