CLEVELAND AND THIEMAN
Nominated by the Democratic National Con
vention. Last Thursday the delegates met in
national convention at St. Louis, and
were called to order at 1022 by tempo
rary chairman "White. Among the in
cidents of the preliminaries was creden
tials handed in from the delegation of
Alaska, the first time that territory has
been represented in a national conven
tion. Hon. Patrick A. Collins of Massachu
setts was made permanent chairman,
H. H. Ingersoll of Tennessee, secretary.
Among the assistant secretaries was
Col. E. L. Merritt of Nebraska.
Daniel Daugherty made the speech
nominating Cleveland, and was enthusi
astically cheered. Second after second
followed until McKenzie of Kentucky
renewed his motion to nomiuate Cleve
lond by acclamation and it was done
with a rush.
An adjournment was shortly carried,
and on the next day Thurman of Ohio
was nominated for vice president.
J. Sterling Morton, by far the ablest
and most prominent of the Nebraska
delegation to the St. Louis convention,
was deliberately snubbed by Mr. Boyd's
packing-house gang and purposely ig
nored in the division of honors bestowed
by the delegation. Jim North, who
knows a great deal more about mules
than he does about platforms, was given
the most prominent position on the
committees. He was made a member of
the committee on resolutions, for which
J. Sterling Morton is so eminently fitted.
Jim North making a platform for the
national democracy is enough to make u
horse laugh. Omaha Bee.
And yet, notwithstanding what the
Bee says, Jim North has abilities that
would have made him as bad a presi
dent as Grover Cleveland is, and why
should he not be capable of conferring
with others as to the platform on which
Cleveland is to stand? We have differed
considerably with North on some mat
ters of local import, but we must say
that for ability in a general way, the
probability is that he has as much as
the man who penned the above article,
and could write as good a speech as
Morton, if he would take the same time
for it, say, one to five years.
Mayor Broatch is making war on the
wine rooms. It is well. To say nothing
of the lascivious nature of wine room
associations, any place where a man may
shoot a woman in cold blood and be
cleared by a jury in less than ten min
utes after retiring, should not be allowed
to exist. Omaha Stockman.
Facts are no less facts, either, because
authorities deny their existence or when
denying fails to win, otherwise excuse
them or palliate their force. A married
woman, in a wine room with a lecherous
scoundrel a slight noise heard, and the
guilty think the wronged husband near
a revolver is drawn, accidentally dis
charged (it is claimed), the unfaithful
wife is killed, and now her slayer es
capes, and doubtless there will be no
punishment for him, at the hands of the
law, whatever there may be in store for
him in the course which his character
and conduct have marked out for him.
Dissolute youth prepares for unfaithful
ness in the marriage relation, and a
thousand multitude of nameless ills
beside, the world gapes for a moment
when the tragedy takes on a more se
rious aspect, mutters a few protests,
turns away, and hurries on to see the
next denouement. Ruined homes, blight
ed lives, despair, remorse, poverty of
everything that goes to make true man
hood, true womanhood are strewn all
along the mad course of this social cy
clone, as the debris after a storm.
The tempests within the hearts of
hnsbands, faithful to wives who disre
gard their vows and openly or secretly
cherish illicit loves, and the fiery ordeal
of boundless grief that fond wives can
only know when husbands who at the
marriage altar promised love and pro
tection till death should seal the vow,
turn away from a pure, unselfish and
holy affection to nutter and perish in
the smiles of painted sin these are
known only or mostly to the daily mar
tyrs who suffer torments that cannot be
told.
Intelligent fathers, mothers, fight the
battle of life against all the wrongs, use
your best endeavors to keep the rising
generation, your neighbor's children as
well as your own, us far removed as
possible from influences destructive of
good character; secure good habits in
your offspring; build character on the
solid foundation of intelligent right in
stead of on the shifting sand of beastly
passion and you will have done a goodly
portion of your duty by those who are
dearer to you than your life. No matter
under what Bpecious plea vice may show
its impudent face, give it no abiding
place.
Gen. Gresham defined his position on
the tariff question in his Wall street
speech in 1884, as follows and it is pre
cicely in accordance with republican
opinion and the republican platforms of
the past ten years:
In revising our tariff laws and reduc
ing our customs revenues home interests
should not be neglected. Applause.
Indeed, protection to manufacturers ana
laborers can and should be afforded by
taxing only such imports as come into
real competition, and admitting others
free. No one disputes that the republi
can party is in favor of thus affording
protection to our domestic industries.
Cheers. Revenue laws should be en
acted with reference to our local condi
tions and wants. We should legislate in
the. interests of our rjwn people rather
than in the interests of mankind at large.
Not until we are able to control the
markets of the world can we afford to
adopt free trade. No intelligent man
needs to be told that the weight of opin
ion in the democratic party is decidedly
opposed to the protective policy, and
that once in full possession of the gov
ernment it would refuse to act or main
tain protective laws. But it is not my
purpose to enter into an extended dis
cussion of the tariff question.
There you have the issue in a nutshell
Let the revenues be raised by a tariff on
"such imports as come into real compe
tition" to home products and home in
dustries and let the rest come in free.
This is the republican doctrine pure and
simple, that is what protection means.
Let trade be free for all products that
we are compelled by our environment to
import from other countries, but give
everything raised by our farmers, pro
duced by our artisans, or dug from our
own soil the first preference in our home
market by a sufficient tariff on foreign
competing products to accomplish that
intention. There is no mugwumpism in
that plain declaration of Gresham in 1884.
In the same speech he highly eulogized
James G. Blame as a statesman and the
best equipped for the high office of presi
dent, and John A. Logan as a man no
less distinguished as a statesman than
as a soldier. There was no mugwump
ism in that (Lincoln Journal.
Railroad Discrimination.
The nine consolidated cases of the
Lincoln wholesale dealers against the
Union Pacific have been tried. A Lin
coln' special to the World says:
The rate on sugar to Omaha from the
Pacific coast was 60 cents, and to Lin
coln the local rate added, making the
rate 75 cents. The rate on canned goods
was 75 cents to Omaha and $1.40 to Lin
coln. The rate on canned salmon is
$1 to Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, Buf
falo and New York and $1 J5 to Lincoln.
On a number of shipments made a ten
der of the rate which was the Omaha
rate with an additional sum based on the
through rate for the additional twenty
two miles, and when the road refused to
receive it replevened the goods. The
suits decided yssterday were to deter
mine the rights of possession. Judge
Chapman instructed the jury that if the
road was regularly charging a certain
rate to a given point, such rate was not
less that h reasonable one for any point
a less distance from the place of ship
ment. The jury found that the mile
age through rate tendered was a reason
able one and that the plaintiffs were en
titled to the goods.
Cat the Boy's Head Off-A Horrible Deed
Committed by a Bratal Father.
Waterloo, la., June 11. Word has
been received here of a tragedy that
occurred last Monday night in Hazel
Green township, about seventeen miles
from MonticelloT An old man by the
name of Rothbacker, who was working
in a stone quarry with another man, un
dertook to whip his boy, a lad about 12
years of age, when the other man inter
fered. In the evening the old man tried
to whip the boy again but he ran away.
This enraged the father, and he caught
the boy, knocked him down and cut his
head off with an axe. Up to last night
the officers have been unable to find him.
Threats of lynching are freely used, and
if Rothbacker is caught he will un
doubtedly be hung by a mob.
Great dissatisfaction exists in Brook
lyn over the democratic ticket. Brook
lynn each year comes up with a big
democratic majority, but it is expected
that this year the usual majority will be
cut away down if it does not disappear
altogether. Three of the principal dem
ocratic leaders in that city, Aldermen
Kane, Coffee and McGarry, have come
out in opposition to the ticket. These
three men are members of the alderman
ic board and each represents a heavy
democratic ward. One of them is quo
ted as saying that he would not be sur
prised if Brooklyn gave a republican
majority this fall. The dissatisfaction
is general and any number of prominent
democratic workers will be at the polls
on election day peddling tickets against
the combination put up by Grover
Cleveland. State Journal.
The Omaha Republican of the 7th
said: "In the present condition of affairs
it is understood that the Nebraska del
egation to the republican national con
vention will support Senator Allison for
the presidency. This will be the grace
ful thing to do for our eastern neighbor."
We think the most graceful thing to
do would be to support the man whom
the people of Nebraska most generally
favor, and that is Gresham. Allison is
certainly an excellent man, but Gresham
has more elements of strength as a can
didate and his nomination would delight
Nebraskans who have watched and ad
mired his course as a public man.
Fodr steamships landed at Castle
Garden, June 8, with 2,271 immigrants.
The commissioners of immigration found
that the steamship California from Ham

passengers, principally Polish Hebrews
and German farm hands. They also
learned that at the time they left Ham
burg there were detained in barracks
5,000 German and Hebrew Poles await

that small pox had broken out among
them.
A terrible wind and thunder storm
passed over Montreal June 6th and did
much damage, particularly in the coun
try, where much valuable timber was
destroyed and many houses blown down.
It is feared tho storm did much damage
to vessels on the river and lower lakes,
but no details can be obtained. At
Compton the house of O. Perrault was
demolished and Perrault's wife and five
children instantly killed.
It is reported at Central City that the
investigation by the county commis
sioners of the accounts of the county
treasurer, CoL W. H. Webster, are short
about $35,000. The investigation shows
the deputy treasurer accounts Otto
Foster short about $1,000. No one
seems to know what became of the
money. It is understood that the treas
urer will turn over all the property he
has to meet this shortage. The valuo of
his property is estimated at $20,000.
Nobody questioned Cleveland's nomi
nation at St. Louis. The southern wing
of the party is in the Baddle, if both
names of the ticket do come from the
north. Thurman's nomination is as
much Cleveland's practical dictation as
that of his own, and the convention
showed how completely the party is
under the thumb of the president, by
recording his will all around.

to give her the knife and thus averted
the deed. It is a sad blow to his friends
for he was universally respected by
everyone.

A report comes from Dawson, Rich
ardson county, June 9, that a tramp
knocked down and outraged a young

having tho general app. ar tn e t a tramp,
faded shabby clothing, black slouch hat,
no beard, face very dark, probably caus
ed by the weather, compactly built,
about 30 years old, 100 pounds weight,
and scar ou face. A later report from
Tecuiuseh states tlmt Lawrence Mor

supposed to be the tramp who commit
ted the outrage on Miss Beldeu.
Further particulars of the suicide of
Mrs.. Charles Gerig at North Platte are
as follows: Mrs. Gerig, a short time ago,
was told by a fortune teller that her
husband was not true to her, but was
writing to some other girl, which seem
ed to worry her considerably and caused
a jealous feeling toward her husband.
Saturd.ty evening Mrs. Gerig did some
shoppiug around town and about five
o'clock called for her husband, who is
manager of the electrict light works, to
go home with her. He could not go
home just at that time, so she went
home alone and found her father there
and requested her father to leave her, as
she desired to be alone. Before her fa
ther left the house, however, she swal
lowed a quantity of strychnine, which
she had purchased a few moments be
fore, and at once began to bathe her
face, and while doing so fell backward,
and whlie hor father was gone for a
physician she expired. The woman had
led a rather checkered life before her
marriage and was addicted to the opium
habit. She has for a long time been
considered by many to be partially in
sane from the effects of opium.
Announcement was made last week of
the suicide at the state penitentiary of
Mrs. Sarah J. Overton. As people soon
forget what has occurred, we quote from
a contemporary a bit of her history. She
was sent to the penitentiary last Sep
tember. She was living in Butler county
with her husband and several children.
One morning the news was taken to the
neighbors that the husband had been
found with his head nearly blown off by
a load of buck shot from a shot gun.
There were' no witnesses against the
woman bnt her own little children, who
testified clearly and consistently, in
spite of the most rigid cross examina
tion, that their mother, while her hus
band was not watching and perhaps
asleep, had taken the gun and deliberate
ly murdered him. She was convicted on
testimouyand was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for a term of twenty-five years.
The woman proved a vicious and un
ruly prisoner from the first. She was
continually quarreling with the other
female convicts and the authorities have
not been able to compel her to do a day's
work since she entered the prison. She
got into a rage on Saturday morning
and was tearing her bedding into shreds
when sne was taken rroni tne room
where she was with other female convicts
and placed in a cell. In this cell yester
day morning about 6 o'clock she was
found with her throat cut from ear to
ear. An examination showed that the
fatal work had been done with a
case knife which she had managed to
secure and conceal, and which she
sharpened for the purpose. Coroner
Shoemaker was called and summoned a
jury and an inquest was held. Beside
the facts which are given above it was
brought out that the woman had fre
quently said that she would not serve
out her sentence and when a convict
was buried last Friday she remarked
that there had never been a woman
buried in the grounds and that she would
probably be the first one. These facts,
it seems, were not known to the prison
officials. The coroner's jury rendered
the following verdict: "That the said
Sarah J. Overton came to her death on
the third day of June, 1888, at 6:30 a. m.,
by cutting her own throat with a sharp
table knife, sharpened by her in her cell
for that purpose, with her own hand,
with intent to commit suicide."

Monroe, Neb., June 6th, 1888.
Friend Turner: As I am three score
years and upward, I have seen many
changes in political affairs in the nation.
The first vote I cast was for W. 1L Har
rison for president, I cannot see how
any foreign working mau can come over
here and become an American citizen
and tlisn vote a democratic ticket, if he
would only stop and reflect and weigh
the actions of the two parties in the his
tory of American government. No mau
can fail o see that the republican is the
party of progress and reform.
It seems to my mind on looking at the
history of the past that no party in any
country can boast of so much good ac
complished in the same space of time as
by the republican party of this country.
Democrats would say I am prejudiced.
I am so far as the history of our country
goes. From the period of the formation
of the government up to the present
time, I claim if all the good tho demo
cratic party has accomplished in the
interest of good government was put
into one side of tho balance and the bad
in the other, the bad would outweigh
the good. I also claim that according
to the records of history if all the good
the republican party has accomplished
sinco the time of its birth up to the
present time were put in the balance it
would far outweigh the bad; and I fur
ther claim that the republican party is
the fittest to rule the destiny of the
American people. s. a.
P. S. The democrats are again getting
out their old rusty trumpets and trying
to make them sound properly again in
the groat cause of reform and revenue
reduction. They are the same old in
struments used four years ago. At that
time they were strained beyond their
capacity and they now give forth a
cracked and extremely hollow sound.
