There is not a single bad man on the
republican ticket all are positively
good, well qualified, having, indeed, all
the Jeffersonian requirements for good
officials, they are honest, capable and
faithful. No man who votes for them
will ever regret it.
Word comes from Ennis by way of
Dublin that the prisoners under ex

The Democrat says: The county has
been calling for a representative man for
the office" referring to sheriff. That is
true, very true, and a man who has held
that office, and is confessedly not "a
representative man," should not be
placed in charge of the treasury of the
county,

Mr. Kavauaugfc.
The Lindsay Sentinel, an organ of tho
Kavanaugh clique of democrats, has
something to say to the Journal, and
the Democrat of this place, another or
gan of the Kavanaugh clique.qnotes the
Sentinel article, styling it "Weighty
Words of Wisdom." We have space to
notice only one or two features of tho
article. First, the assertion that Ilenry
C. Carrig, if he had been nominated for
treasurer, "would have received the same
scoring that is being so generously ac
corded to D. C. Kavanaugh." This is
not true, because Mr. Carrig is a differ
ent style of man, altogether. The Senti
vel and the Democrat ought to have
shown better judgment than to chal
lenge public scrutiny of Mr. Kavan
augh's record as an official. Tho Jour
xal does not deal in "chaff' of any kind,
has always been slow to make accusa
tions against public officers,kuowing v.el
that in the estimation of the public they
are more sinned against that sinning,
but to meet this challenge and settle
the matter, outside of assertions by
newspapers, will make the following
PROPOSAL TO KAVAXAUGn's PARTISAN'S.
If we prove, by tho affidavits of truth
ful democrats of Platte county and by
the affidavits of truthful republicans of
Platte county that D. C. Kavanaugh,
while holding tho office, of sheriff of
Platte county, has, by his conduct, done
that which would be the cause of im
peachment and removal from office, then
Mr. Kavanaugh is to resign the office he
now holds and withdraw his name from
the ticket on which ho is running.
Mr. Editor of the Lindsay Sentinel
and Mr. Editor of the Columbus Demo
crat, will you blow this "chaff" off the
barn floor? Shall we proceed with the
affidavits? Will you accept the condi
tions? This will settle the matter with
out the public being required to take
the word of a newspaper organ.
"Wx. O'BniEN is all that could be asked for
the position."
Thus 6peaks tho last Democrat con
cerning the nominee on the Kavanaugh
ticket for county judge.
All who know Mr. Hudson, the repub
lican nominee, and Mr. O'Brien can
readily see that tho above talk of the
Democrat is mere buncombe. Tho editor
of the Democrat knows better. Mr.
O'Brien "may bo all that could be asked
for tho position" by Kavanaugh and the
clique of democrats who swear by him,
and who, for one reason and another,
cling to his coat tails, but he certainly is
not "all that could be asked for" by the
people of this county who do their own
thinking, and aro independent enough
to do their o n voting. Thero aro scores
upon scores of democrats iu Platte
county who do not believe that it is well
to allow such a man lo follow Mr.
Speice in that office.
Where party fealty is appealed to, it
should be done with a great deal lets
exhibition of "cheek" than is manifest in
this case.
When those who manage party poli
tics liecome lost to tho requirements of
the public service, and misrepresent the
people in their selection of candidates,
they have no right to plead fealty to
party.
Tho Kavanaugh ticket, the Journal
undertakes to say, does not, in several
important parts, (and this, one of them),
represent tho wish of the democracy of
Platte county.
Martin C. li'oedorn.
The republican nominee for sheriff, was
born in Wisconsin, May 27th, 1S57, and
came to Nebraska in4SG9. Since the
age of eleven, therefore, Martin has been
a resident of Plntte county.
By trade, Mr. Bloedorn is a black
smith and machinist. In 18S0 he went
into business in Humphrey, in tho
blacksmith and implement business, in
which he is now engaged.
Mr. Bloedorn is a well-behaved, in
telligent gentleman, as kind-hearted as
can be, but one who, knowing his duty,
would perform it, which is a quality in
executive officers that is 6T untold value
to communities. Those who by nature,
by inclination or by association go to
the "bad," are apt to avoid the city or
the county that is watched over by a
vigilant official, and thus many a dollar
uselessly expended in the prosecution of
criminals is saved to tho tax-payer.
Prevention is always better than cure,
and a sheriff, ever ready to do his duty,
will save Platte county more than his
wages every year.
As much as possible tho voter should
be personally acquainted with the man
he helps place in power, and we advise
all who havo the opportunity to make
the acquaintance of Mr. Bloedorn.
Campaign Lies.
Republicans, it is already apparent
that the current campaign in this county
is to be ono of unusual activity on tho
part of our political enemies, and it
docs seem as though nothing will-be so
low that some of them will not resort to
it. We shall keep this paragraph stand
ing during the campaign to bo added to,
as the campaign proceeds. Nail these
lies to the counter.
That Becher will forecloso all the
mortgages he has taken as loan agent,
in case he is not elected treasurer.
That Henry Carrig will be Kavanangh's
deputy, if K. is elected.
That Bloedorn is a sot.
No more competent man than Wm.
O'Brien could have been named for the
office of county judge. Columbus Dem
ocrat, Oct. IS, 1887. D. Frank Davis,
editor.
A retort comes from London the
other day that tho first Englishman had
turned up with a request to be allowed
to ride ono of the bucking horses. He
gave his name as Captain Byron Wood,
of the Royal Marines, and stated he had
ridden similar cattle in Australia. After
an interview with Colonel Cody, he was
introduced to "North Platte," one of the
least vicious of the buckers. Captain
Wood succeeded in getting a mount,
but in a few seconds was thrown heavily.
Picking himself up, he pluckily essayed
the feat again, but unsuccessfully. The
hearts of tho cowboys were completely
won by tho gallant captain, who was
made the guest of the camp the whole
of that day. The trial took place in the
arena during the morning, and not bo
fore on audience.
The secretary of the interior has re

A very dear old-time friend of the
Journal writes us:
"Monopoly is not adding to the cheer of poorer
homesyand strikes are poor lanip-UghterB. Why
don't our countrymen rise up and oppose En
glish monopolists and foreign 'pauper emi
grants? Our children should have .a chance in
their own country, but willthej?"
The last five years has added much to
the knowledge of the American people.
Five years of public discussion, five
years of light on economic questions,
five years of trying to find out just
where the shoe pinches, and how hard
the pinch is, has not been without effect
oven on political parties, which like all
immense bodies, change motion only
when they have to do so. The main
practical trouble is that men allow
themselves to be deceived, wheedled out
of doing what they know ought of right
to be done. The people's real friends
aro not always upheld. The railroad
line, for an instance, runs directly
through both great, political parties,
and the railroads are thus able to secure
their ends because they divide and con
quer. The gospel of pretence is now in
vogue, and it "was the success or this
that sent so many pretended Van Wyck
men to the last legislature, who never
even harbored a wish that in any pos
sibility he should be re-elected to rep
resent Nebraska in the U. S. senate.
To show that it is not a mere party mat
ter ex-Senator Thurman of Ohio, the
best democrat now known to the public,
was relegated to private life by similar
tactics. The people must find better
ways of executing their will or else soon

The Illinois river improvement con
vention at Peoria concluded its labors on
the morning of the 12th inst., and ad
journed sine die. The improvements
contemplated by the action of this con
vention will bo to connect 1,660 milos of
river and 700 miles of lake navigation.
When accomplished it will greatly in
crease our commercial possibilities and
strengthen our national defenses. The
sixth resolution passed by the conven
tion more fully explains, its object. It
reads, "Sixth That we cordially en
dorse the proposed canal connecting
Lake Michigan with the upper Missis
sippi river, via Hennepin to said river, at
or near Rock Island, as a natural under
taking of great importance to producers
in tho west and shippers in the east, and
earnestly commend it to Congress and
tho people of the United States as a na
tural water way to be properly acted
upon."
Gov. Foraker and party near Zanes
ville, O., had a narrow escape from death.
A new switch had been put- in on the
Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley rail
road; at the Midland pottery company,
as tho train ran over the rails spread
and tho governor's car and'another car
ran off, stopped just on the edge of a
steep embankment on the edge of a deep
creek. Siv inches more anil lwth cars
would havo gone down. Tho governor
and party-were taken out of a window
of tho car and a special train took them
to Zanesville, where the governor de
livered an adress and returned to Co
lumbus at midnight.
John B. Owens, the messenger men
tioned in the dispatch from Little Rock
as probably being concerned in the re
cent roblery of the Pacific express on the
Iron Mountain railroad, has been arrest
ed, and is now in charge of Pinkerton
detectives at Chicago. Mr. Morsman,
who is in Chicago tracing tho matter,
sends to Superintendent Fuller tho fol
lowing telegram: "Owens was crazy from
drink and trouble. He is now in. sound
mind, and everything satisfactorily ex
plained. No objections to so informing
his wife and friends." The amount of
money in Owens' charge the other night
was S3-1.500.
A young Catholic priest and scientist
of Charleston, 111., was recently created
a lieutenant in tho French army for v:d
uable discoveries in the art of making
and using a powerful explosive for war
purposes. He claims that he has, by
continued tests and experiments, fath
omed the art of making Greek fire,which
was lost in the dark ages, about the year
1250, when gunpowder came into some
thing like general use, and he is of the
opinion that the discovery is quite an
achievement for science.
Later news from Gen. Howard, who
is malting an official investigation at the
Crow agency, says: Unless ordered
otherwise by tomorrow, the 15th inst.,
an attempt to arrest insubordinate In
dians will be made and bloodshed will
follow. "Sword Bearer" at the head of
200 braves is camped within gunshot of
the agency, awaiting developments.
"Sword Bearer" is gaining strength
daily. The Indians at the agency are

Mr. Bayard, of Cleveland's

or Mr. Garland will have to leave the
cabinet. Stella Fairchild, a beautiful
girl of thirteen, was kidnapped by a
strange woman, while the girl was going

Omaha last Friday morning. No clue.
The Columbus Joubnal boldly asserts that
any reiiort to the effect that Henry Carrig will be
D. C. Kavanangh's deputy, if the democrats win,
is a "campaign lie." We bee no good reason
why Mr. Carrig, who is an efficient man and a
dyed-in-the-wool democrat should not be Mr.
Kavanaugh' deputy, providing such an arrange
ment is agreeable to both imrties. (Vrtainly
thete gentlemen will not consult the Journ'u. in
regard to this matter. Lindtag Sentinel.
The Jourxal had the very best of
reasons for asserting that the report was
a campaign lie Mr. Carrig's word,
which is current coin in these parts.
One 'day last week the secretary of the
interior received information that In
dians on the Crow, Creek and Lower
Brule reservations in Dakota, by their
threatened violence stopped allotment
surveys in progress on tho reservation,
and that further trouble is feared. It is
stated that the secretary had a consulta
tion with General Sheridan and it is
thought steps will be immediately tak
en in the emergency to resume work.
Land Commissioner Sparks, in his
annnnl report to the secretary of the in
terior, says at the outset, he has "no
word to reca.ll that has hitherto been
uttered touching the alleged misappro
priations to which the public lands have
been subjected through the imprudent
laws and insufficient methods of the ad
ministration, and to which they are still
exposed under the present wasteful and
fraud inspiring system of disposal."

murder be returned against the head

News from Dublin of a recent date is
to the effect that several of the supposed
league of county Cork held meetings
the other day without the knowledge of
the police. Several secret meetings were
held in Michell's own district. At Baily
Gidlin a meeting, was held in open de
fiance of the law, and Father Sexton, in
speech, defied the government to intimi
date tho people in honest and open com
bination. The rifle competition between collect
ed teams tho other day at Chicago, of
the national guards, at a "range of 208,
500 and GOO yards was the principal
feature at tho encampment. The total
scores of teams was as follows: Hay

entire community in their sad affliction.
Miss Emma Reves, tho stepdaughter
of Mr. Murdock, a plasterer of Auburn,
was found in her bed, the other morning
in a dying condition. Medical aid was
called and saw at a glance that she was
suffering from an overdoso of morphine.
A drug register shows a bottle pur
chased by her, and a quantity was found
in a dress jacket worn tho day before.
All efforts to save her lifo proved futile.
Tho supposition is that she took the
drug to relievo nouralgiac pains, and ac
cidentally took too large a quantity.
Ferdinand Arndt, of Friend, was some
limo ago put under 1,000 bonds for
threatening to kill his divorced wife.
He failed to appear and the county court
forfeited his bond and sent deputy
sheriff Legg who took to his aid consta
ble Dillon and attempted to arrest
Arndt at his house. After a desperate
fight in which several shots were ex
changed and Dillon and Arndt severely
wounded, Arndt was captured and taken
to Wilber where he will receive his just
deserts.
Washington letter,
From our regular correspondent.
There is a strong probability that the
President on his return will call an ex
tra session of congress. His trip to the
great west has given him enlarged ideas
of the grandeur and magnitude of the j
country over which ho providentially j
presides. s It ne had toKen tbat trip
years ago, ho would have been a wiser
man, and the' country would havo been
save(l a vast amount of financial trouble
and anxiety.?' There is time yet for him
to atone for the neglect of his education
in earlier years, and if he returns with
the thou ;ht that the presidency of a great
nation means something more than morel
political chicanery, the timo and expense
of tho trip will be of small account.
The evidence is thoroughly conclu
sive that the President had speeches
prepared in advance, printed at the gov
ernment printing office, and took them
away in sheets ready to bo discharged
at the various cities ho intended to visit.
The proof is abundant and Mr. Cleve
land must face it.
Tho government printing office is tho
regular bee hive of Washington. It is
tho largest printing establishment in
the world being 300 feet long, 180 feet
wide and 4 stories high. All the public
documents are printed here, and all the
modern inventions to facilitate rapid
work, are here in use. There are about
2,300 employed in the building, and tho
volumes issued each year reach thous
ands of tons in weight and millions of
copies. It is o groat treat to visit the
establishment.
At tho National Observatory they
have a Wonderful instrument known as
the "Great Equatorial Telescope," which
weiglis 130,000 pounds. A sight through
that, some clear moonlight evening, is
worth a trip to Washington. Trulv
"the Heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament showelh his handi
work." The obsorvatory is under the
direction of tho navy department, and
ranks with the foremost in the world.
Its library is very large and choice, and
is a great resort for the thoughtful and
studious.
Some of tho foreign diplomats at
Washington are exceedingly well paid
by their respective governments, some
being double and treble what we pay
our Ministers. The British Minister gets
30,000 a year and is allowed 20,000 a
year for entertaining; the Gorman Min
ister gets 20,000, the Japanese 30.000.
the Chinese 50,000 and is allowed 11,
000 for house rent. The Turkish 20,
000, Russian 30,000, and French 20,
000. The Chinese Minister is said to bo
worth 3,000,000, and is regarded as tho
ablest and shrewdest of all foreign di
plomats. There are about 15,000 clerks employ
ed in the departments at Washing
ton, about 4,000 of this number being
females, the great majority of whom are
finely educated and most estimable
ladies. Many of them are widows and
daughters of .noted Generals, ox-Congressmen,
ex-Cabinet Ministers, etc., and
many of them marry noted men. Thero
is, no doubt, quite a number of ques
tionable characters in this vast aggro
gate, but tho majority of the lady clerks
will rank with tho best women in the
land.
The dead-letter office reveals some in
teresting facts that should cause us to
bo a little more careful in our corres
pondence. During the past year, 4,800-,
000 letters were received there, making
an average of 15,000 of every working
day. Nearly four millions of theso let
ters were never called for at the posj
offices to which they were addressed, and
112,000 of them were sent to hotels :uid
reached there after the guests for whom
they were intended, had left. A great
many of the letters wero misdirected.
Fully 1,000 of this kind came to the
office every day. Many of tho letters
contain money and last ,ear thero was
33,000 in cash among them and more
than 1,500,000 drafts and money orders.
Eighty-four thousand letters contained
postage stamps, 33,000 photographs, and
25,000 articles of merchandise. R.
EG AN ON CLEVELAND.
Patrick Ksan7i Kepone to a I!eiue-t of
the Chit-ago News for Hi Opinion
or Cleveland.
The Chicago News on October 5 pub
lished a large number of letters from
prominent men of the country, in re
sponse to requests, giving their opinions
of the national executive Among the
number is the following from Hon. Pat
rick Egan of this city:
My Dear Sir: I have to acknowledge
receipt of your esteemed letter request
ing my views on the administration of
President Cleveland, and in reply I re
gret that what I have to say on that sub
ject must be unfavorable to tho distin
guished visitor whom your city is pre
paring to receive. But as you have
asked me for my opinion I will state it
with candor.
I regard tho administration of Presi
dent Cleveland very much as a Scotch
man regards "a chip in porridge"
capable of neither much good nor great
harm. I regard it as lacking in origi
nality, lacking in force, lacking in dig
nity, but not intentionally vicious. I
consider it has failed to increase the
commerce, the prosperity, or tho wealth
of the people at home, and it certainly
has not made the nation more respected
abroad.
I am one of those who believe that in
the case of nations, or of individuals,
there is more to live for than mere ma
terial existence or than the accumulation
of wealth, and that nations, as well as
individuals, should strive to earn and to
command the respect and esteem of our
contemporaries. America is regarded in
Europe, and especially in England, as a
nation of money-grabbers and 6harpers,
whose ideas of glory and patriotism
never raise above the" mighty dollar, and
whoso principles aro regulated sololy by
the standard of expediency; as a nation
which, while possessing tho freest, the
greatest, the most glorious republican
form of government in the world, pro
duces some of tho worst and meanest
toadies on the face of tho earth toadies
who more "dearly love a lord" than does
tho veriest Hodge in England. Presi
dent Cleveland's administration has
done nothing to remove the first of these
impressions, and it has given tangible
color to the second by sending to .hng-
laud, and maintaining there as minister,
Mr. Phelps, a man who from tho first
day he set foot in Britain- forgetful of
the dignity which should surround his
office as representative of this great
American republic prostrated himself
in humble worship of everything aris
tocratic and everything English. I
know that Minister Phelps does not
represent the manhood of the great
American people, and I regard the con
tinuance of such a man in a position of
so much importance as one of those
blunders which are generally considered
as reprehensible as crimes.
Feeling, as I do, jealously proud of
American national prestige and of the
honor of the American flag, I desire to
see as president a man who would give
us an administration such as James G.
Blaine would give on a republican Bide,
or Allen G. Thurman on the democratic,
an administration with a policy bold,
strong; active, vigorons, manly, and at
the same time, dignifiedly conservative;
in a word, an administration with a
policy worthy of the greatness and
worthy of the dignity of the American
nation. I remain, my dear sir, yours
very faithfully,
Patrick Eoan.
