The solid eouth should be met by a solid north. Send more money to win an Ohio victory for Cleveland. Tnis nation must cease to be ruled by southern ebot-guns. Vote for Condon, Irwin and Suth erland for representatives. The drum is found in every coun try of the world except China. The shot-gun policy makes a solid south for Cleveland and Hendricks. Thursday of last week snow fell in Hew Hamphiro to a depth of four inches. More than 100 memorials have becu erected on the battle field at Gettysburg. TnE New York Sun says, Butler first, Blaine second, Cleveland never. Not bad for the Sun. The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks it was a great mistake on the part of the Democrats to claim Ohio. Ninety-six fresh cases of cholera were recently reported in twenty four hours in Italy, and forty-five deaths. The democratic stronghold is in the south. Thoy will have very few, if any, electoral votes outside of the old slave states. There is absolutely no reason why republicans should refuse to support Dawes for governor and cast their vote for Morton. Theee is in the "free-states" gener ally only enough of democracy to be a more or less interesting contestant for political supremacy. Unted States citizenship must be respected at home as well as abroad ; in Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as in Germany and England. Twelve thousaud business men of New York on Monday afternoon of last week united in a demonstration indorsing Blaine and Logan. Recent telegrams from Paris say the cabinet has decided to send to Tonquin tho reinforcements which Gen. Briere de Lisle requires. Vote for Dorsey for congress. He will represent the people in the national legislature, aud deem it a high honor to execute their wish. Later news from Paris states that Gen. DeLisle has not asked for rein forcements for Tonquin. If needed, they will be drawn from the army in Africa. "America for Americans," and that meanB every man, wherever born, who now acknowledges allegiance to our government, aud seeks its pro tection. In the October election of 1880 in Ohio, the Republican majority was nearly 20,000. Garfield's majority in November was nearly 35,000. Hurrah or Blaine I If Here Slavery Merc. Next Tuesday's -work will tell the story for another four years. Our opponents may try "to darken council," but the fact remains that the former slave states which went into rebellion in '61 seek to recover political supremacy by capturing the filftctoral votes of New York and Indiana. If they should happen to do so, we would hear the old rebel yell from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. The ideas of policy taking root as state sovereignty, home rule, nullification and secession, are still uppermost with the supporters of Cleveland. The idea of a nation, composed of all the people, holding and exercising sovereign power, is still repugnant to thoee who believe the Union is a compact that can be broken at the pleasure of one or more of the states. They seem to want here a sort of crowd that can be made the prey of any designing foreign power, and not a nation strong enough to cope with any on earth, and able to guarantee to every (the most humble,) citizen hi6 equal rights under the law. The republi can party is devoted to liberty regu lated by just laws, and, animated by the spirit of independence, and the American idea of the dignity and worth of the individual man (for whom all laws are enacted, and all institutions founded) they will, as heretofore, be true to their principles. The Republican presidents Lincolri, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur have honored their party and their country, and there is no good reason why Cleveland should now be pre ferred to Blaine, or Hendricks to Lo gan, but just the same reasons now as in 1860 why the democracy should not be entrusted with the couduct of our national affairs. The last dem ocratic president, Buchanan, should continue to remain tho last, as a fit I representative tool of the solid south, made solid by the methods of a civil ization which did believe and which still believes in no political rights and no political power for the laboring poor. Let the candid democrat stop and consider before he casts a vote for Cleveland and UendrickB. As to na tional issues you arc voting with aud aiding the men who tried to destroy the government, and who have much the same feeling now as then. In voting with them you are sanctioning their methods as best you may. And what are these? Republicans in Mississippi, for instance, are notified not to vote, a democrat with a shot gun is stationed at the polls, and when the notified man comes to cast his ballot he is shot down like a dog. This is tho method taken, in many places, with republican leaders. In Copiah Co., Miss., during this cam paign, J. J. Williams of tho republi can committee says: "In Wilkinson "county, (strongly republican natnr "ally) Winchester rifles, furn ished by "the democratic stale government, "have been distributed to every dem ocrat who would recoivo them, and "a reign of terror inaugurated." Tho work of the republican party will not bo dono until every citizen is free to vote as he thinks right, and has his vote fairly couuted. Innocence .Abroad. "JWy Dear Mrs. Beecher: Your letter, as you may well suppose, has affected mo deeply. What shall I say to one who writes so like my mother? I Bay so like my mother, but I don't altogether mean that, for she died in tho belief that her son was true and noble, as she knew ho was dutiful aud kind. I am shocked and dumfounded by the clipping that you send me, because it purports to give what a man actually knows, and not mere report as the other four or five lies do which I have heard about my lifo in Albany. I have never seen a woman in Albany whom I have any reason to suspect was in any way bad. I do not know where any such woman lives. In Albany I have not been in any house except the execu tive mansion, the executive chamber, the First Orange club house twice, at receptions given, and one I think on two other occasions, and the resi dences of perhaps fifteen or twenty of the best citizens to dine. Grover Cleveland." It isn't very 6trange, after all, that democrats (some democrats) get ner vous, fidgety, noisy and demonstra tive when they hear republican speeches denouncing the war record of their party. This country remem bers their last president, Buchanan, and with what cowardly imbecility he declared there was no power in the government to coerce a seceding state, and allowed slavery to hatch treason, and treason to beget secession, be tween the date of Lincoln's election and his inaugural, with every encour agement, so far as the democratic chief execntivo dare give. The coun try has not forgotten the after record of the Jeff. Davis wing of the party, nor how much it has cost, and there is nothing surprising about the fact that reference to any part of the dark his tory is not soothing to the nerves of men now supporting Hendricks. Let every candid citizen consider for himself why it is that the entire English press is opposed to the elec tion of Blaine and Logan, and in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks. And also, why they should be more inter ested in- our affairs of state than wo in theirs. The lines of battle are, in fact, about what they were in '61 and '62. America must uot be an annex for European convenience. Ik the Seventeenth Ohio congres sional district, where Warner (dem.) has an appareut majority of 193 for congress over Taylor, (rep.) an error of 32 votes in favor of the latter has been discovered at Bellaire, aud fur ther corrections of the tally-sheet, it is presumed, will elect Taylor. Oar Candidates. DAK. 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. Dan. 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 his acquaintances is the number of bis friends. His nomination was unsought by him, and given unan imously. Mr. Condon owes what ever of wordly goods he possesses to his native good sense, industry and pluck, all good qualities for a legis lator. He is thoroughly independent aud will work in the interests of the people. HOK. WM. A. MCALLISTER candidate for senator, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, June 7th, 1847. His family moved to Nebraska in I860, settling permanently in what is now known as Colfax connty, near the present line 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, aud also of Vienna. Coming home, he was admitted to practice law in 18S3, 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. WEBSTER J. SUTHERLAKD, Republican candidate for representa tive from tho district composed of Platte and Colfax counties, was born in Nova Scotia, Sept. 28, 1852. Tho salient points of his life are that he graduated as B. A., at Dalhousie Col lege, Halifax, May 30, '69; came to Nebraska, settling in Colfax county, Nov. 20, '69; engaged in teaching school, and took up land in Colfax county, with his brothers ; their farm was struck by drought and grass hoppers, and Mr. Sutherland shifted to busiucs8, securing positions at Chicago. In 1877 ho started iu business, with his brothers, at Schuyler, on a com bined capital of $680. By bard work, economy aud strict attention to busi ness, thoy succeeded admirably; in June last, iu the fire which devasted a goodly portion of Schuyler, their loss was $18,000, notwithstanding which, they had in thirty days, a new store and stock ready for business again. Mr. Sutherland is a republican on principle, a man of independent mould, thinking for himself, and is identified with tho marching column of the republican party which means to secure "equality before the law" and "the greatest good to tho greatest number." He is alive to the public interests of his district and the state, and will honor the people who send him to tho legislature. WM. J. IRWIK, candidate for representative, is a plain, unassuming, level-headed man, who has the entire confidence of all wh'o know him. Ho is a member of the County Board of Supervisors, and is regarded as one of the best in formed of their number. Ho will make an excellent member of the next legislature. W. A. McAllister represented this district in the state legislature, and did his work admirably, always being found present aud on guard. Perhaps no member of the body did more towards killing off various schemes for depleting tho treasury that are always presented to legislat ive bodies. He was very vigilant in this matter, aud merciless and untir ing when convinced that a "job" or "steal" was being attempted. With his experience, he would be a power in the senate from the day of his en trance to tho close of his term what his opponent could not expect to be. A goodly number of democratic voters in Nebraska are not aware of the fusion as to electors. Every one who votes that ticket will cast his ballot for three Butler men and two Cleveland men. Not much has been said about this because Nebraska is not a doubtful state. There was no possible chance for either Cleveland or Butler, and so they agreed to fuse, and thus, by a bare possibility, get Nebraska. How anti-monopolists can support the Cleveland and Hendricks electors on the ticket, the Journal is at a loss to know. The AlbinuB Nance combination over, iu Polk county are opposed to Senator Van Wyck, aud it is scarcely necessary to say that the General will be opposed to them. However, it will not be commendable to give much attention to Mr. Nance, in his ambition to be United States Senator. Ex-Senator Paddock's friends are not altogether forgetful, and will take good care of Mr. Nance and his ambi tion. With honest methods he might have been U. S. Senator sometime. While three men were examining a defect in tho top of a coke oven near Funnelton, W. Va., the other night, the cone caved in, letting tho men drop into tho fiery furnace. The oven was cleaned out after an hour's work, but no trace of the victims was found save little lumps of metal, probably melted buttons or coins. Rev. HeKrv Ward Beecher, in & Bpeech recently, read a letter from the Democratic candidate for presi dent, in reply to one sent him by Mrs. Beecher. Some of the demo cracy here are inclined to dispute the authenticity of it because it shows well, read it for yourself. We give it in another column, and ask your self whether you will vote for the author of it for president. Half a million dollars worth of property laid waste at Carthage, N. Y., the other night. One hundred and sixty residences burned, beside' manufacturing itstitutions, churches, the town hall and all school build ings. Seventy-five acres of the resi dent part of the town was swept clean of buildings. Hundreds of families are homeless and much suffering must follow. Rice Orbik, of Connellsville, Penn., said the other morning that he dream ed he shot a man while out hunting, and prevailed on a friend to go with him to the placo designated and sure enough there was found the body of Jacob Kline with a bullet in his brain. The general opinion is that Orbin shot him accidentally and was afraid to confess. There is no reason, whatever, why any voter should cast his ballot for W.. N. Hensley rather than W. A. McAllister for the state senate, and a good many reasons why McAllister should receive tho suffrage of the people. These are not far to seek by those who are well acquainted with the two men. The London Times has heard from Ohio and thinks the November presi dential contest is nownarrowed down to New York and Indiana, and ex presses the idea that when the elec tion is decided free trade will be the dominating and dividing question in America. We have given nearly all of Blaine's speeches during the campaign as the best documents for the cause of Amer ican industry and tho perpetuity of our free institutions, against the on slaughts of the southern brigadiers, aud tho rebel sympathisers of the old world. "So long as the Democratic party, rests all hope of success on a denial of free suffrage in Southern States, it will ask in vain the confidence of auy state where a free vote is recorded by an honest count." Address Repub lican National Committee. A vote for Blaine and Logan meaus a vote for "liberty regulated by law" ; a vote for social order; for a country reunited in spirit; for tho develop ment of our natural resources, north and south; a vote for distinctive American interests. Last week Chinese troops were continuing to pour into Tonquin. Great uneasiness is felt on this ac count. The cabinet at Paris is di vided as to what shall be done to pro viso for reinforcements. Higgins in the last Democrat makes a plea for Hensley, "the dashing Kcn tuckian." What quick movement Mr. Hensley is about to make in the cam paign, Mr. Higgins does not say. Dr. Newman Hall, the English clergyman, considers the American press ''too flippant in its comments on sad and solemn events." Ohio elections for instance. otropottfeittt. fin tlil flnn.irtinpnt. tlio npnnlo ttilk. anil 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: The Wochen blatt, in its last issue, labors hard to prove Mr. Blaine a knownothing. But, like all other attempts having that object in viow, this is again a miserablo failure, as we shall pres ently see. It quotes articles from Blaine's paper relative to a whole some revision of tho naturalization laws for the purpose of preventing the importation of paupers and crim inals from Europe. This, then, Mr. Editor, is what you call James G. Blaine's knownothingism! Wo are surprised. Surely, after all the fuss and blow and bluster on your part, we had a right to expect the birth of a bigger child. By what course of reasoning any of Blaine's expressions, and especially the quoted ones, can be construed into knownothingism, is evidently only known to German democratic editors. Indeed, if that is all of your case in court, yon would uot have had to hunt through' the musty files of a paper published near ly 30 years ago you might have quoted one of Mr. Blaine's recent speeches in which he expresses the same viewB. But, on the 4th of No vember the people of the United States will fling back these infamous slanders at their originators and show Mr. Blaine's defamers jnst what they think of his knownothingism, elect ing him president by an overwhelm ing majority. You will then also find out that the German-American re publicans of Platte county and Ne braska refuse to be bulldozed and whipped into the democratic ranks by attacks upon their honor and charac ter by such as you. By the way, have you heard which side our coun trymen in Ohio supported? The Wochenblatt then takes great pleasure in quoting an extract from a speech of a curtain R. G. Lincoln against the Catholic church. The fact of its appearing in Blaine's paper is sufficient evidence to the editor of the Wochenblatt to prove Blaine a knowuothing. Let us see how that workB. The Omaha Republican oc casionally prints a speech of that arch-traitor and copperhead Hen dricks, democratic candidate for yice president ; thirefor, the Republican sympathizes with his viewn and its editor is a democrat. Or, the Woch enblatt reprints Il.G.LincolnV speech ; therefore, the Wochenblatt is a know nothing sheet and its editor a know nothing. Beautiful logic, that. One distinction, Mr. Editor, you will have gained after your race is ruu here, namely, that of having made yourself the laughing-stock of the intelligent people of Platte county. We repeat (without calling you a liar, however, as you did us we have only contempt for that kind of political discussion) James G.'Blaine is not now, and never teas a know nothing. As a youug man he was a delegate to the first natioual republi can conveution which nominated Gen. Fremont; he went on the stump for Fremont and has been an ardent re publican, a republican of republicans, a leader of leaders, ever since. Ap pealing to your honor (not your prej udice) we defy you or any other democrat to point to a single word or act of Blaine's during his long and brilliant career before the American people which would prove him to bo a knownothing. The ventilation of Blaine's prohibi tionism would be next in order be stir yourself, tho election is at hand. We don't know whether in your sublime ignorance of American his tory and politics you have ever heard of Judge Jere Black, the old demo cratic war-horse, but warm personal friend of the lamented Garfield. Well, this is what he said about Mr. Blaine after he had been acquitted (Mulligan-letter charges) by a demo cratic congressional investigating committee: "I do not believe that there is a single dishonest hair on James G. Blaine's head." Does your "diabolical reiteration" of those charg es make them true? Our editor, iu his wrath and dis comfiture, then bursts forth into a storm of calumny and slander against the writer of this. He says : "As to this question (temperance) it is of no use to dispute with you, as you arc undoubtedly also a prohibition fool, or better said a hypocrite, as 6ome timo ago you wore contemptiblo enough to say : 'You were ashamed of being a German' because you saw a coun tryman a little drunk. We tell you 'thinking countryman' that German, an honest simple farmer, is worth ten thousand times more than you, or one of your kind, because he drauk open ly, did not hide himself as you per haps do, in your back room, to get drunk on poor whiskey. You are one of those pharisees, who says : 'Lord, I thank thee that I am not like that publican.' Yon practice the vice of drunkenness in secret, and then damu honest people, who drink a glass of beer iu honor." The above keeps perfect time with the rest of the democratic music this fall. It is so out and out democratic that it would do honor to a southern brigadier. Indeed, if the Wochen blatt had established itself south of Mason and Dixon's line it would un doubtedly bo much more appreciated than it ever will be in Platto county. And now, Mr. Editor, we havo this to say: We have lived in Platte county ever since 1874 and iu Colum bus for over two years. We have hosts of friends aud acquaintances who know our character and personal habits well let them Judge between us and your vile calumnies. We nevor did use tho words which you put into our mouth. That statement, as well as all tho others in the same connec tion, is an untruth of your own or somo one else's invention. Wo don't remember having seen a drunken German farmer for a long timo. But if we had used those words, which we have not, we would not now feel like taking them back ; no, Mr. Edi tor, by the eternal, never. Ou the contrary, whenever we boo a poor drunkard wallowing in the gutter we feel ashamed not only of being a Ger man (drunkenness is not confined to Germans alone) but we feel ashamed of our manhood, we feel ashamed of our civilization which admitB of such degradation in a human being. If this bo treason to our countrymen then, Mr. Editor, go on, go on, in your noble (?) mission and make the most of it. We have nothing against the men who drink a glass of beer "in honor." As for ourselves we "drink a glass of beer in honor" whenever we feel like it but, we also dare not to drink a glass of beer, which latter is perhaps more than you dare to do. And while we do not presume to sit as judge over your personal habits we are not at all ready to place ourselves under your jurisdiction or that of your fellows. That winged word "Personal Liberty" which you delight in using so often has a meaning for us as well as you. Our last word: The election is at band, the battle will soon be over after which the combatants will pause and count the cost. When we, as a German-republican, having no Ger man organ of our party in Platte county, commenced to protest in the Journal against the WochenblatVs democracy and its arraignment of re publicanism, we did it, as we thought,' on the broad basis of mutual fairness, good faith aud good will. Wo did not even dream of making a porsonal attack on the editor of the Wochen blatt, whom in fact we did not know personally, nor do we now. Did we have a right to expect the same treat ment at the hands of our opponent? We thought so but wore .deceived. However, we can stand it, if the Wochenblatt can. M. B. 8ee Facta. Editor Journal: Having hoard reports that one of the democratic candidates for representative is circu lating in regard to Mr. Dan. Condon's business ability and also his lack of sympathy for those in distress, I wish to lay before the voters of Platte connty some facts and then let them judge for themselves. At Manches ter, England, in '67, Edward O'Mcnjjh er Condon was arrested for rcscuim; from the hands of the British guards Kellcy and Deauy, two Irish republi cans, aud was without a fair trial sen tenced to death Nov. 23:1, '07, together with Allen, Lirkiu and O'Brien. Secretary Seward and Charles Frau ds Adams were instrumental in .se curing a commutation of the sentence to imprisonment for life in n British Bastilc. He remained in confinement there, suffering the agonies of starva tion and neglect, to which were also aided, on many occasions, cruelties such as British officers alone can in flict, until his condition and a short sketch of his life came to tho knowl edge of Dan. Condon through the Irish World in December, '75. True to the natural instincts of his race, true to the principles of the mau who was always ready to extend to the oppressed and afflicted that sym pathy aud support that comes alone from true manhood, Dan. sold tho last one hundred bushels of wheat ho had and with the small amount received for it, commenced the graud work of liberating Edward O'Meagher Con don, a follow countryman and school mate. His first move was to prepare a petition to Congress. While think ing of this, I seem to see Dan. late at night after a hard day's work, sitting alone in his small house ou the dreary Nebraska prairie, studying, thinking, how best to word a petition which was to become the largest and most universally known of any that has ever been presented to Congress. Having completed this part of the work he went to Omaha and there was successful in securing the co-op-eratiou of some of the most influen tial meu of the State, among whom w,as Hon. Jobu Rush. Mr. Condon's petition, unchanged, was copied in the Irish World, aud in a short time every State north of Mason aud Dix on's liue was being canvassed with a copy of Dan's effort. The petition re ceived the support of the executive officers of overy northern Stato ex cept New Jersey, which then had a democratic Governor, and I might say here only one southern state gave it its support. The petition, when pre sented to Congress, was so massive that it received from Roscoe Conk ling the iiamo of "tho petition of tons." Theactiou taken by Congress resulted in the release of Edward Condon aud to-day ho is a good American citizen aud also a good republican. But this is uot all. In '47 Dan. and a man by tho name of Michael Mur phy, known probably to a great many of the readers of the Journal, were orphaus together in the "Orphan Pen" at Montreal, having becu emigrants from the great famine. A friendship sprang up between the two, and after their release from the "Orphan Pen" they grow up together and at tho be giuning of tho war were separated. Dan. came west in '64 and'after somo years returned cast and there found that the wife of his friend Murphy had died and the two small children bad been placed in the Orphans' Home at Montreal, U. S., aud Murphy had gone west to seek his fortune. Here again the better principle of the man overcame tho personal interest aud Dau. brought the children west with him, took them to his own homo and gavo them all that he has given his own. Not long after this Dan. found his frieud Murphy at Council Bluffs and persuaded him to go with him to work on a railroad contract that Dau. then had. Murphy com plied with his request aud went and in a very few days was killed. Out of his own scanty means Dau. pur chased a casket, had the body of his friend brought here to Columbus and buried. Teil mo now, you who read, is this the course of a mau who oppresses those under his hand? Is it men of this character that cause woe and dis tress among the poor? My democratic friend, before you try to take the mote out of your brother's eye, cast the beam of un truthfulness out of your own. W. KepaUicaa or Democratic Ad nalnlntration. Temperance voters attention: If you are republican in sentiment, do your duty, and see to it that while advocating temperance you do not elect a democratic president and other confederate officers. If you are democratic iu sentiment, you can uot consistently support a man pledged to republican principles. Should you present the anomalous position of renouncing the old parties, and spending your timo in condemn ing past administrations, in the hope of an immediate like rcuunciation and condemnation on the part of others, you are doomed to disap pointment. Take your position and act con sistently therewith. Don't have re publicanism at the head and de mocracy at the final result of your action. Final good results will come by the republican party, controlled by later developments ; but democracy, in my humblo opinion, will end iu disaster. Citizek. Ilnrrah for Irwin. Platte Centre, Oct. 20. Editor Journal: No nomination that either party baa made iu this county for years is more appreciated by those who know him than the nom ination of "Bill" Irwin of Woodvillo township. Modest, unassuming and intelligent, a man under any and all circumstances. No craven for office ; respected by his neighbors, hif? vote and voice on the board of supervisors has ever been on the side of justice. It is no little surprise that such a mau was nominated, in these days of po litical trickery and wire-pulling, and if he is defeated at the polls it will be a clear case that the people no more respect true worth.
