The Ceanlasr Canapavisja.
It is plain to be seen that tbe De
mocracy of Nebraska are getting in
readiness for a campaign this fall
entirely different from the ordinary.
They would fain believe that there is
some show of success this time ; hav
ing the President of the United States
to help with Federal patronage, they
seem to think that all that is neces
sary to success, partial or complete, is
the old policy of war, "divide and
conquer."
This is, doubtless, the brief outline
of the Democratic campaign this fall.
More than that, let us credit them
with political shrewdness in seeing
their only probable road to success.
In this article it is not necessary to
enumerate the various means by
which our political foes expect to
divide and conquer those who will
take a second thought can readily see
how this might bo done, if Republi
cans neglect their duty, aud it is to
this phase of the situation that tbe
Journal wishes to direct special
attention.
It is a fact that there are, acknowl
edged, wide differences of opiuion
among Republicans on certain sub
jects; these differences are radical
and irreconcilable, and must doubt
less remain so. Naturally enough
every wide-awake man desires" the
recognition of principles he regards
as necessary to tbe welfare of tbe
country, and he is not a patriot if be
does not labor to this end, ay
event
Here, let us counsel together. 18S8
is before us. By that time we will
have had 32 years experience as Re
publicans. The reactionary tenden
cies of political opponents are plainly
visible, and those of ua who leniera
ber the administrations of Pierce aud
Buchanan have most excellent reasons
to deprecate continuance of .Demo
cratic rule. The Republicans of Ne
braska are a unit on this basis. On
this line, they are surely inviucible,
and the overthrow of their political
foes would be complete a foregone
conclusion from tbe beginning, a
usual in Nebraska.
Iu this spirit the county nomina
tions can be made, and tbe nomina
tions for the legislature, as well as
for the state offices, much depending,
however, npou the individual men
selected.
Now that the nominating campaign
has fairly opened, we believe it prop
er to say what we have, on tbe general
situation, and to add that we think it
advisable, after lookiug over tbe
whole field, considering tbe past,
present aud near future of party in
terests in tbe state, for Republicans
to seek unity on tbe basis of national
issues, and to insure unquestioned
success in the state campaign this fall
by a solid agreement upon general
principle?, and such mutual conces
sions as to candidates as will com
mend this policy to all Republicans.
How would it do to retaiu on tbe
ticket such of our present state offi
cials aB have served acceptably but
one term? This would be iu accord
ance with custom, aud, with no con
test on these offices, we believe tbe
era of "unity ou essentials" would be
fittingly inaugurated. This would
yet leave about half tbe state ticket
to be named, tbe most important of
which is, of course, the governor.
For this office the names ot some
good men have been mentioned, but
it seems to the Journal that we here
name a mau who will add great
strength to any ticket which his Re
publican friends may nominate, and
who would bring to tbe discharge of
the duties of governor, a rare execu
tive ability that would be appreciated
by every intelligent man in the state ;
a man known to all the old citizens
and the new as an unflincing Repub
lican and fully abreast of the times,
Hon. Leander Gerrard of Columbus.
Under his administration, the finan
cial affairs of tbe state would be mo6t
carefully looked after, and no interest
of the commonwealth, depending
upon the action of its chief executive,
would be allowed to suffer. "Care
ful, just, judicious and able" would
be the verdict of bis fellow-citizens
upon the close of his term.
In this article, however, we intend-
i ed an announcement merely, and will
leave to our next a biographical
sketch. We must, in closing this, say
that we believe his nomination, made
in tbe spirit which we have suggest
ed, would completely satisfy every
element of tbe Republican party and
'add to its streugtb iu tbe state.
Peamsjrlvamlav KeamMlcaaii.
The republicans of Pennsylvania at
their convention told the country
what they think of a policy lookiug
towards free trade and its effects up
on the country. Here is what they
say :
"The tariff address adopted by the
republican to-dav reviews the history
of tariff since 1832 to show that the
democratic party has for the last fifty
years legislated against tbe best inter
ests of the Amerlcau people iu tbedi
rectionot free-trade, to tbe great det
rimeut'bf American industries. Ref
erence is made to tbe repeal ot tbe
democratic tree-trade laws by a re
publican congress in 1801 when tbe
Morrill tariff bill was passed 'aud for
the first time in the history of this
country says tbe address 'we have
had twenty years of uninterrupted
protection to American labor and
capital.' Figures are quoted to show
that in 1800 the' total value of proper
ty in the country was $14,000,000,000.
In 1880 the total value was $44,000,000
000, an increase in twenty years of $30
000.000,000, or mora than double the
accumulated property from 1007 to
I860. During ten years of free-trade,
ended in 1861 our imports exceeded
our exports $403,680,000. Under tbe
operatiou of ten years of protection,
ended Jnne 30, 1880, our exports ex
ceeded our imports $1,306,542,000, or
an annual average of $130054,000,a net
gain in oar favor of 170,000,000 a
year. Reference is made to attempt
ed tariff legislation by the democrats
since 1875 when tbey obtained control
of the houe, each of which is de
nounced aa dangerous attempts to
overthrew the great system which
has bnilt up the industries of the
country. In cloaingi attention is calf
ed to the fact that the democrats are
still determined te insist upon a re
daction of duties and to abolish tbe
tariff anon raw auterials, thus farther
ensuring tae prosperity ot
A terrible hail storm struck

about fifteen miles long; everything
in its way was swept out of exist

the loss will reach $500,000,

The Philadelphia Mercury speaks
of tbe Wild West show as a great
success there, tbe exhibition being
witnessed by 10,000 people, tbe
whole entertainment "the acme, of
perfection. One feature ofjthe show
deserves mention, and that is tbe
cowboy band. Whether the players
are cowboys or not is a questinn,
but certain it is that the band is one
of tbe finest ever heard in Philadel
