Our citizens assembled on Satur

Creston School House, to listen to
the Republican speakers, Dr. Abbott,
Mr. J. Marr and Hon. TV. A. Mc
Allister; the house was woll filled,
the issues of the hour, and the rise
and progress of the party were
handled in an eloquent and conclusive
manner. Several Democratic breth
ren felt called upon to express their
views upon public questions, and
turn the meeting into a Tammany
pow-wow, but the visiting gentlemen
were so thoroughly posted, and so
Completely took the wind out of their

I In this department the people talk, and
not the editor. Each writer must bold
himself ready to defend his principles
and his statements of facts. "In the mul
titude of counsel there is wisdom.'' Ed.
Joukxai..
Irwin AsraiBht Kehoc.
Editok Joukxal : I ain't going to
write any one's life history becauso I
can't, and in this case I don't think it
is necessary to ; all that it is neces
sary to do is to say a few things about
the present of these two candidates
for the legislature.
Mr. Irwin, as is well known to
ovcry one living in this part of the
county, came here when houses wero
not seen on every hill, but he marched
out into the almost trackless prairie,
with the strong and fearless heart of
a pioneer; came hero with almost
nothing but an iron muscle, and the
resolute determination of a conqueror,
determined to couquer the many ob
stacles that limited means and a new
countrj' present, and the way he has
succeeded shows ho is made of deter
mined and heroic material. He is a
reading, thinking farmer; his center
table is well supplied with the lead
ing agricultural and literary journals
of the day. He is both an agricultur
al and stock man, combining the
growth aud production of boh to a
high degree of success and perfection ;
he is a man whose thought and expe
rience must bo of great use and bene
fit in directing legislation for the
greatest good of an agricultural com
muuity, like ours. From a start of
almost nothing he has built up a most
comfortable and convenient home,
where the generous hand of hospital
ity loves to scatter the bounties of a
kind providence at the disposal of his
friends; the modesty and quietude of
his home life is no indication that it
is not deep and strong, like the irre
pressible flow ot a great, quiet river.
He is a man of exemplary habits in
every respect, and his integrity is of
the highest and purest quality ; his
neighbors will all tell you that "Bill"
Irwin, as he is familiarly called, never
allows a promise, express or implied,
to be broken; in fact he is a most
ardent votary at the throne of this
unsurpassed virtue, and this is the
quality that the legislators of our
times, surrounded aB they arc by the
wickedest of temptations, should
possess above all others. He was not
present at the convention, nor did he
seek the nomination ; he simply 6aid,
if my friends see lit to nominate me,
I will accept, and will always try to
do tho most good for the greatest
number. And as a member of tho
board of supervisors he has more than
once shown himself to be possessed of
far more than the ordinary legislative
ability. His political enemies (he has
none other), will admit that he is a
man of.good judgment, and never acts
without being fully advised upon the
matters under consideration, and of
such stuff are the best and surest of
our legislators made. There are
many other things that I would like
to write about him, but I am afraid I
have already occupied so much space
that you cannot pivc me room in
your valuable paper. .
And now a6 to Mr. Kehoc. I think
there is only one thing that the ship
pers and farmers of this county need
know of him, aud that is that he is a
grain and hog buyer and shipper over
tho U. P. Railway. Can a man who
is daily shipping large quantities of
grain and stock over the U. P. or any
other road vote and act independent
upon railroad legislation? I say, no.
The thing is impossible. If he de
sires and iuteuds to continue his bus
iness of a shipper, he cannot afford to
vote in favor of any law that would
tend to regulate and control tho U. P.
Ity., and such questions must and will
arise in the next legislature. I need
say no more. Every voter can draw
his own conclusions. I will leave it
for those who know tho other candi
dates to Bay something about them.
Eternal Vigilance.
He Coaldm't Stamd It.
Among the first confederate troops
that went out from Arkansas was
Parson Gecsmore, who enlisted as a
chaplain.
He was a devoted christian and his
prayers were regarded by the men as
utterances from a higher power. Just
before the battle of Jenkin'.8 Ferry,
the old man, in a sermon, said :
"My dear boys, I have decided to
go into the next fight with you. I
don't think a man can properly preach
about tho evils and sensationB of war
unless he has experienced the feeling
of going into battle.
Now, the first fighting we engage
in shall have me numbered among its
participants."
The old gentleman rode a large
gray horse, and when preparations
for the battle of Jenkin's Ferry wero
(being made-he appeared on the snowy
:charger. Some of the officers begged
;him to keep out of danger, but with
an expression of heroism he replied
'that he would engage in the battle.
(The first artillery fire from the enemy
:shot the horse from under the old
(gentleman, and by the time he settled
himself on his feet a bullet came along
and carried off one of his fingers. He
attempted to bo calm, but just then a
bullet carried away the right thumb,
'and, wheeling around, the old mau
'struck a determined trot tor the rear.
1 "Hold on, parson 1" called some one.
"Hold on, h 1 1" he replied. "Ask
;a man to hold on when tho whole
universe is shooting at him. Take
care of your body, and the Lord will
' take care of your soul I" Ex.
The low cunning of Cleveland in
politics is shown up by the Catholic
Union at Buffalo, which relates how
Bishop Ryan and Father Cronin were
invited to visit the Governor to get
an explanation of his course on the
Freedom of Worship bill, and that
going to see him for that ' purpose
only, their visit is tortured into a
demonstration of partisan favor to
him. Tho Union (Father Cronin, ed
itor) says it "cannot withhold tho ex
pression of indignation at the attempt
to torture this solicited interview, in
tended in behalf of fair play, into a
partisan support," etc. Thoro was a
distinct understanding that no politi
cal significance should bo attached to
the visit. Nevertheless, Cleveland's
organ claims the visitors as important
conversions. Both visitors are thor
oughly incensed.
General Tom Ewing, a few yeais
ago democratic candidate for gover
nor of Ohio, and now one of the
national leaders of the parly, pays this
compliment to Mr. Blaine : "In every
private relation of life as son, hus
band, father and friend I know no
kinder, better or purer man; and
passed as an embodiment of the spirit
and genius of the American people. I
don't believe if every letter he ever
wrote and every word ho ever uttered
wero published to tho world, that
they would fasten on him a single act
or thought of official corruption. If a
man be true in all private relations, as
from his boyhood I have known him
to be, he is not likely to be false to
the people."
"Gath," the correspondent of the
democratic Cincinnati Enquirer,
writes the following in one of bis let
ters to that paper : "The British em
ploy nearly 1,100,000 hands in their
textile factories, of whom about 140,
000 are uuder 13 years of age. Tex
tile means woven, and applies to
almost everything manufactured ex
cept the metals. The United States
employs nearly 3,000,000 people in her
workshops, of whom about 90,000 arc
in woolen goods, 40,000 in silk goods,
180,000 in cotton goods, and 22,000 in
carpets. How superb the suicide
which would send those industries to
ruin becauso some unbalanced fellow
has read a book to show that free
trade is right."
"Jt is the first duty of a good gov
emment to protect the rights and
promote the interests of its own peo
ple." Republican Platform.
Five millions of dollars of English
capital has been invested in Montana
stock ranches during the current
year. - """'
The Republican party embodies in
its creed four distinct and important
doctrines : First, peace with the
whole world ; second, commercial ex
pansion in every practicable direc
tion ; third, encouragement of every
form of American industry; tourth,
protection to every citizen, native or
naturalized, at homo and abroad.
Under these policies the Republican
party tries to couduct the govern
ment; under these principles the Re
publican party submits itself to the
judgment of the American people;
on these principles we conquer, or on
these we arc conquerod. James G.
Blaine, at Rochester.
The English papers are all strong
advocates of Cleveland, for the same
reason that they give aid and comfort
to the men who tried to destroy the
government twenty years ago, name
ly, because they want to establish
free trade in this country and make it
a dumping ground for their surplus
products, ground out of pauper-paid
employes of their great manufacto
ries. Little Falls (IT. Y.) Courier.
"The principle of the public regula
tion of railway corporations is a toisc
and salutary one for the protection of

legislation that shall prevent unjust
.discrimination and excessive charaes
for transportation, and that shall
secure to the people and to the rail
ways alike the fair and equal protec
tion of the laws." Republican Platform.
THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF NEIRASKA.
We were favored this week with a
call from Mr. G. M. Monroe, who is
representing the above work in this
part of the state. Mr. Monroe gave
us quite a detailed explanation of the
scope and manner of preparation, and
there can be no doubt of the value
and usefulness of such a publication
to every intelligent citizen. The pub
lishers, Messrs. Everts & Kirk, whose
publishing and engraving establish
ment Is in Philadelphia, are sparing
no labor or expense in its prepara
tion. Mr. Everts, the senior member
of the firm, is one of the leading farm
ers in Richardson county, this state,
and is determined that it shall be a
first-class work in every particular,
as the announcement below will show :
publishers' announcement.
The long-felt want of the people of
Nebraska for a good and reliable atlas
of their state, which would treat of
its several counties, cities and places
of growing importance, together with
numerous commendations of such a
work, by gentlemen of business ex
perience and ability residing both in
and out of the state, have resulted in
our undertaking the publication of
The State Atlas of Nebraska. That
this atlas will prove to be just such a
work as each and every citizen should
have, there can be no doubt. The
plan of its construction has been
carefully studied and arranged with
a view to inserting the most practical
and nseful information, and it has
universal approval. This work will
treat of each county in such a thor
ough and exhaustive manner as to
cover the practical and desirable
points found in maps and atlases do
voted to a single county, and thus
treating of all counties throughout
the state, makes it the equivalent of
bo many separate county publications.
The publishers dp not underrate the
immense labor connected with their
undertaking, and rely to a great ex
tent on tho enterprise, intelligence
and liberality of the citizens to enable
them to prepare a work which will
reflect credit upon tho state," its citi
zens and themselves.
The following open letter from
leading citizens of our state commend
ing the undertaking speaks for itself:
An Open Lotter from the State Offi
cials and others, Introducing and
commending the Publication of the
Official State Atlas of Nebraska.
Messrs. Everts & Kirk, Publishers,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Having examined your plans for
the publication of an official State
Atlas of Nebraska, and heard your
explanation of its details, character
and general scope, we give our un
qualified approval of the Bame. Our
state is in great need of such a work,
and we commend it to our fellow
citizens, believing that the present
prosperous condition of the state, its
rapid growth and dcvelopm ent make
it almost a necessity than an accurate
atlas, on a large scale, showing all
counties, townships sectionized, cities
and villages, endorsed by the respec
tive county officials as reliable, be
issued, not only for the convenience
of our citizens, but to be placed, as
they undoubtedly will, in public
offices throughout other states, there
by proving a real benefit to tho stato
at large. We wish you success in
your undertaking, and trust our citi
zens will givo you every possible
encouragement.
