MM I Mil,
Geeri X- Hoakiaa,
The republican "nominee for county
clerk, was born Starch 17th, 1838, in
Boone county, Indiana. lie stayed at
home until he was about sixteen years
of age, during this time working with
his father at his trade of harness mak
ing. When George was fifteen years old
his father died. A short time after
wards George went to Morgan county,
Indiana, and engaged as clerk in a Btore.
In '62 he removed to Minnesota, and
soon afterwards enlisted in Co. H, First
Minnesota heavy artillery, serving till
near the close of the war. His four
brothers were all Union soldiers during
the rebellion, two of them since dying
from the effects of their army life.
After serving his country as a soldier,
Mr. Hopkins engaged in business for
himself four years in Indiana. Thence
to Kansas in the grasshopper times;
back again to Indiana in 75, and at
farming. Sold his farm in 1881, came
west, lc -ating at Platte Center, this
county, in 1882, since which time he has
been a resident here, well and very fa
vorably known to many of our readers.
In 1887 he was elected supervisor for
Lost Creek township, and during the
past two years has been regarded as
among the best of Platte county's in
telligent legislature.
Mr. Hopkins will make a very excel
lent clerk. While he is a man of ability,
he is also genial, accommodating,
kindly (no man more so), and with it all,
he would le conscientiously devoted .to
the discharge of his duties, under the
law. Mr. Hopkins's record as a citizen
and official is such that all good men
can approve.
Heary J. Hadaoa,
has made a first-class judge. His office
is a very model of neatness and classifi
cation. His records and all documents
belonging to the office are kept neat,
clean and tidy. The judge holds the
scales of justice with a steady hand,
and his judgment is sound. Having had
large experience in private and public
affairs, he is especially qualified to look
after the estates of deceased persons,
and the interests of the surviving widow
or children. Those who have had busi
ness to transact at Mr. Hudson's office
during the past two years know how
well he does the work the law requires
of a judge. The man who votes for Mr.
Hudson will make no mistake in so do
ing. A record of the public career of Mr.
Hudson in which he has faithfully serv
ed the constituency placing him in posi
tions of honor and trust, would fill all
the columns of The JouexaTj, and would
only confirm what all know, that in
every way he is qualified for the office:
as a citizen, intelligent and public
spirited, in the public welfare; as a man
of family who will fully appreciate the
value of justice to the interests of all
the estates of widows and orphans and
all their rights under the laws; as a man
of intelligence capable of understanding
the lawsand sound judgment to discern
what is right between man and man.
See that his name is on your ticket
for county judge Henry J. Hudson.
Lewis J. Cramer,
Republican nominee for superintendent
of public instruction, was born in Seneca
county, Ohio, in 1847, was brought up on
a farm, attending the district school
during the winter months.
He has a diploma from Heidelburg
college at Tiffin, Ohio, and has held for
years a Nebraska state teacher's certifi
cate for life. ;
He was principal teacher and superin
tendent of the Columbus city schools for
eleven years prior to his election two
years ago as county superintendent.
He is thoroughly well qualified in ev
ery way for this position, as his work the
last twr years has demonstrated, and if,
by any possibility, his opponent is elect
ed, the voters of this county will have
nade an inexcusable blunder. How any
intelligent voter can choose Rothleitner
in preference to Cramer for this non
political office, and in which the interests
of our public schools and of our children
are at stake, we are not able to see. See
that your ballot is oast for L. J. Cramer.
The Looking Glass takes us to task
for saying that the democratic bosses
have not acted wisely ia their nomina
tions, and remarks: "of course the result
will tell." We presume that the editor
of the Looking Glass means that if the
ticket is elected, then the democrats
necessarily acted wisely, but there's ex
actly where the rub comes in. It isnt
wisdom in the people to elect that ticket
ia opposition to the one nominated by
the republicans, aad it wasnt wisdom
in the democratic bosses to do their
worst in an endeavor to squelch out
their opponents in the democratic camp.
It takes a different line of policy to
bring together the torn fragments of a
once united party. The policy of the
bosses" two years ago aad bow, nay be

cratic ranks are fully informed in this
matter. They are democrats on princi
ple, but when they see that the bosses
(the men who control primaries and con
ventions, nominations and appointments;
the men who rnn the machine first to
last, and for their own personal benefit),
are more determined than they were two
years ago to rule or ruin, they will do
their own thinking again, and, seeing
that the four republican candidates
electee! then have given excellent satis
faction, they will naturally conclude
that a second term is due them, and a
first term to the other worthy men on
the republican ticket whose nominations
were not secured by any clique or clan
inimical to the public good. Not only a
better ticket might have been named
(better both in the sense of qualification
and availability) but very much better
in the manner of nominating, and we
mean by the ticket not any man of it,

General Sampson has entered upon the
discharge of his duties as United States
consul at Paso del Norte. Seldom has it
been the fate of any American consul to
meet with the opposition that General
Sampson has. Because of his promin
ence in Colorado, and the additional fact
that he was reported to have taken
strong grounds in opposition to the ad
mission of Mexican lead ore, the mining
and ore men of this city were adverse to
his coming, and prominent officials of
Mexico objected to him for the same
reasons.
After investigating the character and
standing of General Sampson, President
Diaz issued his exequatur, authorizing
him to enter upon his duties as consul.
During the weeks he has been stopping
in our city, our people have become well
and favorably acquainted with him and
believe that he will honestly, faithfully
and impartially discharge the duties of
his office.
He has already made many friends on
the other side of river who most cor
dially welcome him to the important and
responsible position which he now fills.
There are but few more important con
sulates in the American service, or where
men of character and ability are more
needed than Paso del Norte, and the
Times takes pleasure in saying we be
lieve General Sampson will fill the bill,
and we extend to him- our congratula-
tiona f El Paso Times.
The meeting at York pledged $10,000
if York is made the location for the Na
tional Orphans Home of the Methodist
church. Although Dr. W. L. Armstrong
has donated his Park Hill farm in this
county to the Home, and Platte Center
has made some pledges of aid, unless
additional amounts are subscribed Platte
county will probably lose the Home.
Wherever located, it will doubtless be
come a great institution, because the
object is such as to enlist the full sym
pathy and support of the generous and
humane people of the United States,
irrespective of church membership, and
the fact that one of the greatest denomi
nations has it in charge is sufficient guar
antee of success. Dr. Armstrong's lan
guage in regard to such an establishment
is well worthy of record and of universal
and' perpetual remembrance: The sav
ing of the children is as much the work
of the age as was the Reformation of
Luther the work of his age or that of
Weeley,of his period. The method is the
question at issue. We .are emphatically
a practical ageu It is our business to
demonstrate our theories. Let the chil
dren be gathered together in homes lo
cated upon cheap lands superintended
and taught by competent, practical
teachers, to the point of self-support.
Then we may safely trust them as citi
zens, and the church find in them its
bone and sinew."

The townships in Platto county are
taking good care of themselves (as they
should do), during this campaign. Mr.
Cramer is not making his headquarters
at Genoa, neither is he "using fallacy"
on the honest tiljers of the soil, or any
other class of citizens in Monroe town
ship or elsewhere. In all other particu
lars the above paragraph from the Tele
gram is truthful. All the other particu
lar is that Mr. Cramer is the republican
candidate for superintendent of public
instruction.
Many an injustice to poor, down
trodden men could, and should be pre
vented by a courteous statement that
our eyes are upon these things and we
hope to see the nations becoming more
humane and just every day. We, as a

without any bluster, we may offer coun
sel to the biggest and best government
in the world in the interest of humanity,
and knowing the justice of our position
need not fear either war or insult. Let
us be a manly and honorable nation that
knows what is due us in the line of con

The democrats of the Second congres
sional district in this state have placed
in nomination state senator Casper as
their candidate for congress. Mr. Casper
is the well-known proprietor of the
Butler County Press, and has been its
editor for many years. There is proba
bly not the ghost of a shadow of chance
for him to secure an election to congress,
but he has qualities that it would be
well for the republicans of the Second
district not to lose sight of in the cam
paign. The Joubnaij has large admira
tion for Mr. Casper personally, but none
for his general politics.
A grand Knight Templar parade was
held in Washington, Oct. 8, when Presi
dent Harrison received 15,000 Sir
Knights. Along Pennsylvania avenue,
from every window and house front
flags, banners and the cross of the
Templars was to be seen. Beginning at
the treasury building and along both
sides of the magnificent promenade to
the capitol there was a grand display of
the national colors and the insignia of
the Templar. A moderate estimate
would place the number of visitors in
the city at about 50,000.

The republican slate convention held
at Hastings Oct 8, nominated Hon. T.
LvNorval of Seward, for judge of the
supreme court on the first ballot, giving
him 545 votes and Reese 269. His nom

mation.. Charles H. Morrell of Polk

county were nominated for regents of

A fire broke out Saturday in Cook's
lumber yard at Serpent River, Out, and
by 6 o'clock the whole town was ablaze.
Fifty million feet of lumber three years'
out was. consumed. There- were forty
buildings in the town, generally stores
and dwelling houses. The vicinity is
strewn with household goods and home
less families. The loss is estimated at
$300,000.
The "still hunt" defeated Judge Reese's
nomination for the supreme court, it
seems. The people were not up in arms
as with attorney-general Leese, and so
were caught napping, and caught largely
by the use of proxies. The nomination
of Norval was virtually assured before
the convention met. Norval has the
reputation of being a good judge. 1
Gen. James R, Chalmers, nominated

Ed. Journal: The writer of this, who

wonders why Mr. Stauffer, whom the
public so much admired iu the past,
when he saw that the tax-payers of the
county wished to have his records of
thirteen years standing checked up, that
he did not come out openly and demand
of the supervisors an investigation. This
act on the part of Mr. Stauffer would
have shown to the people that he was
both ready and willing to have this vex
atious question settled, and if he is
certain that his books will exonerate
him then he would stand faultless before
the electors of the county. But from
his stand-point in this matter he has led
the people to believe that he don't want'
to let the light shine on his own works,
for if the records will justify him what
has he to fear, and if they don't justify
him as a public servant of the people it
is high time that he would step down
and out, for this is a government "of the
people and by 'the people." Other coun
ty clerks have been forced to let the
light shine on their records, and what
was the result? Let the tax-payers of

Parents should be careful that their
children do not contract "colds during
the fall or winter months. Such colds
weaken tbe lungs and air passages, mak
ing the child much more likely to con
tract other colds during the winter. It
is this succession of colds that causes
catarrh and bronchitis or paves the way
for consumption. Should a cold be con
tracted, loose no time but care it as
quickly as possible. A fifty cent bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough remedy will
cure any 'cold in a few days and leave
the respiratory organs strong and
healthy. For sale by all draggists.
