Look out for campaign roorbacks from this to election day. The sportsmen kill sago hens in Nevada weighing seven pounds. A light snow fell at Montreal one day la6t week, the first of tho season. Five inches of snow fell in Sierra City, Cal., Tuesday night of last week. Santa Bakkara exhibits an onion weighiug two pounds and four ounces. An Alabama farmer obtained eight gallons of molasses Irom 100 water melons. An exchange wonders if Cleveland would know a tarifl', if he should 6ce one. President Arthur appointed Frank Hattoi: postmaster general on the 14th hist. Two hundred cars are now in use transporting fresh fruit from Cali fornia to tho cast. Ice half an inch thick formed in tho Montgomery and Kingston, (N. Y.,) districts one night last week. The produce exports from New York last week reached $5,051,000, and the week beforu went up to $7, 110,000. It is reported that in Arago Town ship, Dakota, eight persons have died of small-pox, while nineteen are sick with the disease. Dr. C. C. Graham, of Louisville, was 100 years old Friday of last week. lie was personally acquainted with Dauicl Boone. Mr. Blaine and General Fremont last week were visiting Michigan. They arc meeting with enthusiastic receptions on the part of the people at all the stations aud towns on their route. The other night masked and armed men invaded the boine of Joseph Gates in White Township, Pa., com pelled the proprietor to give them $1,000 which he had secreted, and then departed firing their weapons. The Ewing Item, published by Clarence Selah has been enlarged and improved. Nothing shows the pros perity and growth of a place like the newspaper, and Brother Selah is doing a good work for Ilolt county. J. Kobert Williams, of David City, has been missing for several days, last being seen when be took the train for the cast. It has been discovered that be has absconded, leaving $27,000 due to confidential friends in church, Sunday School, temperance and political circles, in all of which he was prominent. The Schuyler Sun says that the Democracy of Colfax county have made no mistake in their nomination for float representative, which wo suppose is the fact. We have always heard Adolph ErnBt well spoken of, as a young man of integrity and abil ity, and having many relatives and acquaintances in Platte county as well as Colfax, be is naturally a jtrong candidate. It is not very often that we find a statement which tallies so closely with our ideas of right as the following, which we clip from tho "Topics" de partment of the Lincoln Journal. It is plain, direct, pointed, and full of good sound sense. Let our readers study this subject carefully, in all its bearings upon social and business life, and they will be the more determined to see the laws enforced. The sentiments of the .Journal are worthy to be written in "blaring letters of living light," on the Nebraska fermameut, so that they might be a perpetual reminder of duty to Nebraska officials t "The gambling rooms of the city still remain closed. It is the duty of the police to see that they remaiu so. The duty of certain other people has been duly and pointedly mentioned by the Journal. By the way, wo may suggest to tho sporting fraternity that they owe a few duties to tho commu nity in this connection. The first is to abandon their calling. The second is to go into some legitimate business. A man who can make a living at gambling can do It equally as well at almost any other calling. The same industry, nerve, steadiness aud so briety that are essential to the making of a livelihood and the accumulation of a surplus by gambling would be more sure to attain the desired result in any vocation. It is no hardship to gamblers to force them out of the business. It is no injustice to them and it is a benefit to the balance of the community. There are men in this city who are known as square gamblers who do not cheat at their game, and who are in a general way clever fellows. These men recognize the truth of what we say. They know it would be better for them as well as the public that they should abandon their so-called profession. As to blacklegs and sharpers and cap pers, their proper place ib behind the priBon bars. If they quit gambling they would probably go to stealing. The Journal has no wrath' or bitter ness, no personal feeling of any kind in the matter. It simply desires to ncritain the abolition of a ereat evil until it is abolished by due course of law without any more feeling or vio lence than is absolutely necessary. Knowing public sentiment is a unit, it merely arouses it and keeps it ani mated till the desired end is accom plished. It has no abuse for the class it desires to sec go. It has shown anew their evil influence and has stopped at that. There need be no passion aroused, and will not unless the gamblers inaugurate it. If they shall stubbornly resist the enforce ment of a wholesome law, they will be the sufferers. We do not anticipate any such result." OUIO. One of our local exchangee, the Cadiz Republican says that the contest was "the fiercest ever waged in any state of the Union." We can well believe this, from tho situation of affairs democratic last year by 12,000 and the year before by 19,000, and now republican, by majorities rang ing from upwards of 11,000, to near 19,000. As Mr. Sullivan, who can vassed the state 6ays, "it was a revo lution." The highest prediction by tho most sanguine republican was 15,000. We ourselves put the major ity not lower than 8,000 and not higher than 15,000, believing that the vote on president in November, dis entangled from local questions will be from 20,000 to 30,000 majority for Blaine and Logan. Wo notice that the voto by counties on congressmen shows a net republican majority of 18,418. This being on members of the national legislature, shows what may be expected from Ohio on the clear issue of president. Be 6ure your ticket is all right. We don't want any chemical tissues in this state. We don't believe Nebras ka democrats, as a rule, are bad at all, but occasionally there will be a man who will use unscrupulous means to carry his ends. It is these, in all par tics, that ought to bo put down, but it is always reasonable to suppose that, if done at all, the discovery and pun ishment will come from political opponents of such scoundrels. Sec to it, men of all political parties, that no scoundrel, by fraud deposits a ballot or has one deposited that will neu tralize yours. This is just the same, in effect, as not allowing you to vote, which you would very justly consider aud resent as an outrage upon your ciril rights. Tho man who obstructs the free vote and tho fair count of an American citizen is more of a traitor to tne government than he who.open ly takes up arms against it. Let all good citizens combine against this special phase of roguery. More men have been raised from poverty to plenty in the state of Ne braska in the past five years, than in any other country of the same size in the world. There is not a man living in the state today, who has been here from three to ten years, who cannot count from twenty-five to one hun dred persons who came hero penni less, and arc today in comfortable circumstances. Thousands have walk ed into Nebraska, but no industrious man was compelled to walk out. No better name can be given than the one so often used, "The poor man's home." Fremont Tribune. F. A. Burton, president of the Blaine and Logan Club, at La Crosse, WiB., was shot while forming a pro cession on the night of the 16th, by a ruffian known as "Scotty." He was arrested and hurried to jail before the immense crowd realized what bad occurred. Subsequently a col lection of citizens gathered about the jail and demanded the life of the murderer, and after breaking their way through doors and iron bars se cured him, brought him out and hanged him to the limb of a tree until he was dead, and thus the ter rible tragedy ended. The heaviest gains reported in the Ohio election are from the mining and manufacturing district? and from the wool growing counties, showing that the tariff question was the -all import ant one in the campaign. Another significant feature of the returns is the republican gain in the strong German wards. This indicates pretty surely that the Germans who left the party in 1882 and last year have returned. Oar CaadMmte OAK. CONDON Republican candidate for represen tative, was born at Mitcheltown, County Cork, Ireland, March lltb, 1838. In 1847, his family removed to Montreal, Canada, where, just after landing, his parents both died. Ever since that time, when young Dan. was nine years old, he has made his own way in the world. This has developed in him a store of sound common sense, which Dan. makes good use of. Dau. has lived in Nebraska since 1868, and raised here his family. He is known to all the older settlers of Platte and Col fax counties, among whom the num ber of bis acquaintances is the number of his friends. His nomination was unsought by him, and given unan imously. Mr. Condon owes what ever of wordly goods ho possesses to his native good sense, industry and pluck, all good qualities for a legis lator. He is thoroughly independent and will work in the interests of tho people. HON. WM. A. MCALLISTER candidate for senator, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, June 7th, 1847. His family moved to Nebraska in 1860, settling permanently in what is now known as Colfax county, near the present lino of Platte. In 1862, young McAllister enlisted in the cavalry service of the U. S. for the protection of the frontier, being dis charged in '63. From 1872 to 77 he was in attendance at the State Uni versity where he graduated. He afterwards passed several years in Europe, at the University of Munich, and also of Vienna. Coming home, he was admitted to practice law in 1883, in the meantime serving a term in the state legislature as member from the Platte-Colfax district, the same counties that now honor him by a nomination for the senate. His record as a member of the House is thoroughly clean and honorable, al ways in the interest of the people, and opposed to jobs and steals. JNO. SUTHERLAND the float candidate for representative, is an able man, a man of experience, independent in his thinking, allied, in thought and feeling, with that great mass of people who work their way honestly and fairly through the world, believing that "equality before the law" is the very heart of our free institutions. In Colfax county, where he resides and where he is best known, he is very highly esteemed. WM. J. IRWIN, candidate for representative, is a plain, unassuming, level-headed man, who has the entiro confidence of all who know him. He is a member of the County Board of Supervisors, and is regarded as one of the best in formed of their number. He will make an excellent member of the next legislature. Cleveland partizaus have said that Blaine's election means prohi bition and know-notbiugism. The man who says this has neither sense nor logic, but talks for bunenmb, aud to deceive. All are American citi zens, and our country and its insti tutions are so good as compared with others that every man means to be loyal to this government, whether he was born under its benign flag, or longed for its protecting caro while yet the subject of some monarch. Let no man bo deceived by the cries of designing demagogues. The republicans of Columbus and old Platte are feeling their oats the oats in this case being the general situation and tho special news from Ohio, and it is safe to eay that from now on the campaign in Platte will proceed on the broad gauge. It has been suggested to us, however, to warn republicans throughout the county that the contest on the part of the democracy is a still quieter hunt than tbat'of 1876, and that it will be well to look out for some sharp prac tices before and on election day. Did it ever occur to our farmers who are enjoying comfortable homes, that this country never bad a home stead law until the republican party came in power? How many readers of the Chronicle who owe their pros perity to the homestead act, will vote to put that party out of office? If you have prospered and grown rich under republican laws and republican rule, is it not your duty as a consistent and rational being to vote the republican ticket? Madison Chronicle. So long as the solid south supports the party that sympathized with and aided them in the war of the Rebel lion, so long is it advisable and neces sary for every loyal man to support the party that preserved the govern ment, and held the union together. Loyal democrats there were, and many of them, but the party was not, and their candidate for Vice Presi dent was among the worst of them. H""- In this department the people talk, and not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Journal. Editor Journal: In last week's issue of the Columbus Democrat Mr. Fied. Luchsinger undertakes to break a lance in defence of the Wochen blatCs bourbonism. That gentleman condescends not to blame M. Brugger "for having been rocked on the other side of the Atlantic" and for "having courage enongh to confess it." Thank you, Sir. We will now give Mr. Luchsinger a chance of not blaming us (or otherwise just as he chooses) for the following assertions : We are not only not ashamed but exceedingly proud of hailing from the country of ITT 1U1BU1 xcuouuaiuviu MUiBBUIWU Bit more than thai although cher-, iBhing sentiments of filial regard for our mother-country we are also ex ceedingly proud of now being a citi zen of tbo United States. Again, we are also not less proud of being a member of a political party of prog ress and principles, which is the Re publican, aud we consider it a privi lege to contribute our mite in fighting the party of retrogression, treason and subterfuge, which is tho Dem ocratic. Mr. Lunhsinger's gentle admoni tiou as regards the reading of history, etc., we will accept with a3 good grace as possible. We never claimed to spend "so much time" iu perusing the history of our country. (Do not get scared, please, if we do call America our country.) But we do acknowl edge that history is and always has been our favorite study; and we do confess that we have the most un bounded admiration for the principles and achievements of the Republican party from its formation to the pres ent day ; while, on the other hand, we have the most unbounded contempt for the career of the Democratic party from 1856 up to date To accuse the Republican party, a party whose very inception was based upon the princi ple of equal rights for all as opposed to the Democratic white man's gov ernment to accuse such a party of knownotbingism is simply ridiculous. True, history tells us of the mush roomlike rise and fall of the Know nothing party. A party "whose creed was narrow and its principles illib eral." (Mr. Blaino's words in his characteristic of that party, and Mr. Luchsinger's too what a coinci dence !) But history does not tell us that "its dovoted followers and their ideas exist in the Republican party to-day." Oh no, history does not tell us any such thing. On the contrary, it tells us that that party's main strength was in what aro now reliable Democratic states. Mr. Luchsinger is quite correct, however, in 6tating that "it (the Know-nothing party) succeeded in prostrating the Demo cratic party of the Northern states." Why? Because many Northern Democrats joined (and those who did not, as well as many Whigs, became Republicans) the new party; after gaining the electoral vote of only one state Maryland, the Know-nothings returned to the Democratic fold and there they are to-day. Disprove that, if you can. It is only in the free Republican North that the humble immigrant has a "white-man's chance" and not in the solid Democratic South. This accounts for the fact that our countrymen south of Ma3on and Dixon's line are Republicans almost without exception. The Republican party may harbor a few Know-nothings ; but the Demo cratic party nurses a large majority of them and all the rebels thrown in. Try again, Mr. Luchsinger, the only lucky hit you have made this time is in guessing M. B's. full name. Wo would say however, that in discussing questions of public interest we object decidedly to being personal. Names and individuals vanish, but ideas and principles are eternal. M. B. P. S. The Wochenblalt's last is. a feeble onslaught on Mr. Dorsey, some silly prognostications as to what he would do if elected, (never mind Mr. Editor, the people of the 3d District will take caro of Mr. Dorsey's elec tion) with au occasional eido-hit at M. B. and German Republicans in general. Mud slinging seems to be tbo only mode of Democratic cam paigning. We aro still patiently waiting for an editorial on the beau ties of free trade and the virtues of Saline laud-grabbing a la Morton. Platte Center. Editor Journal : The democratic rally in this place was a success. The audience was large aud the speakers eloquent. Mr. Robinson of Madison was introduced by T. A. Kehoe in a short and appropriate speech. Mr. Robinson is a fluent speaker, and held the attention of the audience through out. He seemed, however, to bo very anxiouH to get hold of some of that four hundred million dollars that he claims is iu the treasury of the Uni ted States that he might fill his depicted pants pockets, and make all the foreign-born citizens rich and bappy. Oh, the generosity of the democrats 1 If Phil. Kearney bad made a speech liko that ho would be called a "communist." Too bad that such a nice "young man" should have to put his baud first down to tho bot tom of one pocket and then to the bottom of the other and find "nary a red." He made a most eloquent and pathetic appeal to his fellow demo crats to stand to their colors in No vember, presumably that they might fill his empty pockets. -He thought it a shamo that there was so much money lying idle in the treasury vaults, while the people were short. He omitted to tell them that that money represented silver certificates that the people held aud that the faith of the government was pledged to redeem; for the purpose of paying tho national debt and accruing inter est on tbo same. He forgot to state also that the present administration had cut down the interest on the out standing debt-lrom 10 to Z per cent. He then told of the beautiful, the waving fields, the happy homes of Nebraska, but did not say that it was under the benign influence and the progressive policy of the republican administration of affairs that all these blessings were made possible. It is a matter of history that the democratic party turned over the affairs of this great nation twenty-four years ago to the republican parly without a-dollar in the treasury ; bankrupt in means and credit ; bo low bad the country fallen in the estimation of foreign nations that its paper had fallen to barely one-third of its nominal value. They tried to run the country and made a miserable failure, and when the patience of the people was worn out and they turned them out of office in 1860, how did they leave the country ? Torn asunder, with one of the' moBt gigantic wars the world ever witnessed staring it in the face ; without a dollar in the treasury to carry it on, and without credit to get a dollar's worth. The next speaker was Mr. Moriarty ii f Omaha, who labored very hard, but to the credit of his audience- let it be 6aid without much utloci not to palliate, but to justify tho immoral and unmanly conduct of Grover Cleveland, by appeal iug to the worst nature On this part of his speech comment is unnecessary. Tho speak er thou read statistics to provo that Mr. Blaine in his speech some time back had undo statement which when bo said that tho increase of wealth in this couutry v& greater from 1860 to the pre?ont lime than in all tho year sincu tliu Hi:t(le:us:it of the country. He said that computing tha statistic m( the two ducadcs from 1850 to I860 and from 1860 to 1870 we would find that Mr. Blaine had made a statement that was not correct. He said and read that the iucrease ot wealth in the former decade was much greater than that in the latter, and that it was owing to the fact that the democrats were in power during that time. Now it is a nice thing for a speaker to come into a little coon try place and make statements of this kind ; he can lay it as an unction to his conscionco that he can say what ho likes and the Irish will swallow it all. But Mr. Moriarty for once made a mistake. Wo are blest iu this com munity with as much intelHgence, the foreign-born element being largely in tbo majority, as any audienco that Mr. Moriarty is likely to address this fall. Tho people know, at the time, that Mr. Moriarty was not doing tho fair thing, although they were too courteous to interrupt or contradict him, being a stranger and guest. There were those present, democrats as well as republicans, who could have told Mr. Moriarty that tho country from 1850 to I860 was at peace at homo and abroad, that the statistics that he quoted were of the whole country north, south, east and west, states aud territories, but that those which he quoted from 1S60 to 1870 were of a severed country torn to pieces, of a country that had to borrow money at an enormous loss for the purpose of battling in a war that was mainly brought about by the maladministration of the other party, that it took four years of that decade to restore the Union, to build op twain what they had destroyed-, and that it took the other six of that decade to reconstruct and bring the country back again to what it ought to be and what it will remain, please God, forever, "great, glorious and free." In conclusion, I would remind Mr. Moriarty that ho will not find the Irish "All his fancy painted them." I regret that space will not permit me to tell you how Mr. Hcnsley of the Columbus Democrat endorsed all the last speaker said, nor what a nice little speech Mr. North made. An Irishman.
