K.-piihlican Platform. The republicans of Nebraska reiterate ami cordially indorse the fundamental principles of the republican party as euneiated by successive national repub lican conventions from 18T! to 188S and believe the republican party capable of dealing with every vital issue that con cerns the American people, wherever the rank and file of the republican party are untrammeled in the exercise of their po litical rights. We heartily indorse the wise and con servative administration of President Harrison. We also fully approve the wise action of the republican members of loth houses of congress in fulfilling the pledges of the party in legislation upon tho coinage of silver and other measures of national importance and congratulate the country upon the con tinued reduction of the national debt. We most heartily indorse the action of the republican congress in passing the disability pension bill and a republican president who approved the same and regard it as an act of justice too long delayed because of tho opposition to all just pension legislation by a democratic congress; yet we do not regard it as the full recognition of the great debt of ob ligation which the government and the people owe to those heroic men by rea son of whose sacrifice and devotion tho union was saved and the government restored. We do further repeat our declaration in favor of just and fair serv ice pensions graded according to length of service for every soldier and sailor who fought in behalf of tho union, and by reason of whoso services and devotion the government now exists. We hold an honest, popular ballot and equal representation of all the peo ple to bo the foundation of our republi can government and demand effective legislation to secure tho integrity and purity of elections, which tiro the foun dation or till public authority. We favor such revision of the election laws of the state as will guarantee to every voter tho greatest possible secrecy in the casting of his ballot and secure the punishment of any who attempt tho corruption or intimidation of voters, and we favor the Australian ballot system for incorporated towns and cities, appli cable both to primary and regular elec tions so far as it can conform to our organic law. We oppose land monopoly in every form, demand the forfeiture of unearned land grants and the reservation of the public domain for homesteaders only. We recognize the right of labor to or ganize for its protection and by all law ful and ieaceful means to secure to itself the greatest reward for thrift and industry. We are in favor of laws com pelling railroads and manufacturers to use all appliances which science supplies for the protection of lalnirers against accident. We demand the enactment of a law defining tho liability of employers for injuries sustained liv employes in cases where proper safeguards have not been used in occupations dangerous to life, limb or health: mil way and other public corporations should be subject to control through the legislative power that created them. Their undue infill tmce in legislation and imposition of unnecessary burdens upon tho people and illegitimate increase of stock or capital should be prohibited by strin gent laws. Wo demand of the state that the property of corporations shall be taxed the same as that of individuals; that the provisions of our constitution, requiring the assessment of franchises shall be en forced by suitable legislation. Wo demand the reduction of freight and passenger rates on railroads to cor respond with rates now prevailing in adjacent states in the Mississippi valley, and we further demand that the next legislature shall abolish all passes or free transportation on railroads, except ing for employes of the railroad com panies. Wo demand the establishment of tho system of postal .telegraphy, and request our members in congress to vote and work for government ownership or con trol of the telegraph. We indorse the action of tho inter state commission in ordering a reduction of the grain rates between the Missouri river and lake ports. We favor the modification of the stat utes of our state in such manner as shall prevent the staying of judgments se cured for work and labor, and the enact ment of such laws as shall provide for the speedy collection of the wages of our laborers. Wo favor a revision of the tariff in the interest of the producer and laborer. The import duties on articles of common use should be placed as low as is con sistent with the protection of American industries. We denounce all organizations of cap italists to limit productions, control supplies of the necessities of life and advance prices as detrimental to the best interests of society and as unjusti fiable interference with the natural laws of competition and trade and ask their prompt suppression. The republican party has given the people an elastic currency of gold, silver and paper, and has raised the credit of the nation to one of the highest of any country in the world, and its efforts to fully remonetize silver should be contin ued until it is on a perfect equality as a money metal with gold. Owners of public elerators that receive and handle grain for storage should be declared public warehousemen and com- . I peneu nncier penalty 10 receive, store. ship and handle the grain of till persons alike, without discrimination. The state regulating charge for storage and in spection. Allrailroad companies should le required to switch, haul, receivo and ship the grain of all persons alike, with out discrimination. We favor the enactment of more strin gent usury laws and their rigid enforce ment under severe penalties. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. . Candidate Nominated on the Independent State Ticket, t John Holbrook Powers, nominee for governor, was born fifty-nine years ago in Madison county. 111. He came to Nebraska seventeen years ago and re sided fifteen vears in Hall county. For the past two years he has been a resi dent of Hitchcock county. Up to the time of the Greeley campaign he was a republican, but since that time has leen somewhat variable as to his political be lief. He is above all things a strong prohibitionist and all his influence and efforts for two or three years past have been devoted to that cause. Charles X. Mayberry, nominee for sec retary of state, is fifty years old and was born in Detroit, Mich. He came to Ne braska twenty-three years ago. For thirteen years he lived in Johnson coun ty and since that time in Pawueex-ounty. He voted the democratic ticket until eleven years ago, but since then he has been of independent proclivities. In 18T.1, lefore Mr. MayWrry became of age, he patented the Mayberry header harvester, which he manufactured at Moliue, 111. William II. Deck, nominated for lieutenant governor, is fifty years or age, has lived in Saunders county twenty four ears and is a native of California. He was in the house in 1ST.' 5 as a repub lican, was elected to the senate in liss as an independent and is an old time greenbaeker. lie is an old soldier. J. V. Wolfe, nominated for state treas urer, was born October 7, 18.'fcl, and is iY7 years old. In 1871 he came to Nebraska and Settled upon a farm five miles south east of Lincoln, where he has lived ever since. He is well known as a breeder of blooded swine. He has always voted the straight democratic ticket until this campaign, when he identified himself with the alliance movement. John Beatty, candidate for state auditor, is .".. years of age. He came to Nebraska eleven years ago from Wis consin and now runs a horse and cattle ranch in Wheeler county. He was not in the war and has for seventeen years leeu an anti-inonopohst. He was once a candidate for the legislature, hut' was defeated. He has never held any public; office of any importance. J. W. Edgerton is the candidate for attorney general and is a lawyer well known in Omaha. He was born in Mor gan county, O., in 18."'J, and is now in the prime of life. He came to Nebraska in lS7t and homesteaded a claim in Furnas county. The following year ho com menced the study of law and in 1H7H was admitted to the bar. He settled in Omaha and has built up a lucrative practice. He has been deputy attorney of Douglas county, and is at present citv attorney of South Omaha. The Second District. Wednesday the twenty-five counties of the Second district, were represented in convention at Hastings. Capt. J. H. Stickle of Fillmore was elected chair man. The following resolutions were adopted as the platform of the republi cans of the Second district, in addition to those adopted by the state conven tion: "We condemn the practice in this state of removing cases from the federal courts upon the pretense of local preju dice, but in reality for the sole purpose of enabling the parties asking tho re moval to receive attorneys' fees which could not be recovered in the state courts, and we urge upon congress the enactment of such amendments to the present law as will prevent such abuse. That we heartily endorse tho Hale amendment to tho McKinley bill em bodying the idea of Hon. James G. Blaine as to reciprocity among the Amer ican nations." The informal ballot for congressman resulted in: Harlan 181, Bostwiek III, Newton Cut. The first formal ballot: Harlan 'JOT, Bostwiek 1, Nettleton K. and Harlan was made the unanimous choice of the con vent ion. All the politicians had calculated on the selection of Harlan. Nathan V. Harlan is a native of Ohio ami is 14 years of age. He is a resident of York, where he has a lucrative prac tice of his profession, the law. He is very popular at home and throughout the state. Four years ago he was chosen speaker of the shite house of represent atives and filled that responsible posi tion with honor. Mr. Harlan is an anti monopolist and his name was promi nently mentioned as a congressional aspirant before tho convention which nominated Mr. Laws one year ago. The republicans of the Second have done well in their selection of a candidate, who will doubtless be their next con gressman. While in ability he will compare very favorably with the late James Laird, his votes on all questions affecting the people's interests, as against those of corporations and syndi cates, will more nearly record the wish of his constituents. A to Tom Benton. This gentleman has been re-nominated for state auditor in the face of a storm of protest and indignation such as Nebraska has never known before. A member of the trio of Benton, Cowdery and Steen, ho was not only the chief, but the chief offender. The two latter were denied a re-nominatinn. Benton was no better and should not have fared better. Every sin that was committed by Steen and Cowdery was also commit ted by Benton, and many beside. For the good name of the party the three should have been relegated to private life; but every effort was made to save Benton, and he was saved. His two partners were " thrown to the whale." Is the real Jonah still on board? The position of the Hub toward Tom Benton has not permitted of any. misun derstanding and its position is unchang ed. His nomination is a load upon the ticket. Hundreds of people that are met daily express the emphatic opinion that he cannot be elected. Whether this is true or not he will certainly have a hard race of it, and he must look for his majority to the same elements that forced his nomination upon the party. He will not receive and cannot expect a ''red hot" support in the coming cam paign. He is merely given a chance for his life, like a seaman put overboard in midocean with a single mast or spar to cling to, and not so much as a life pre server. So far as Mr. Benton and the Hub are concerned, now, it is disposed to give him the one chance. With the almost certain odds against him it would le cruel to call down tho fury of the merciless elements upon him. Pull for the shore. Mr. Benton, and don't forget to say your prayers. Kearney Hub. Home Market. In the discussion of the tariff bill in the senate, Mr. Morrill said: The ill-natured denunciations of Amer ican manufacturers by oratorical free traders indicated that they preferred the prosperity of foreign manufacturers to that of their own countrymen and that they would compel the latter to manu facture as cheaply as any foreigner, or abandon their business. The real pur pose was finally to break down and de grade the preseiit scale of wages of American workmen. Coming to the question of agricultural depression, Mr. Morrill said thero was a glut of misin formation disseminated on that subject and concealment of the fact that prices of farm products are depressed through out tho world. The only possible reme dy within reach of the American farmer was positive protection against foreign competition and such encouragement to other avocations as would increase the consumers of their products. He assert -ed that in 18SS had it not been for the duty of 'JO cents3 a bushel on wheat the wheat of India would have snatched the market of New York from the state of Wisconsin as well as from other western states. The farm mortgage indebted ness had been grossly exaggerated and he understood that the- census reports would show that farm mortgages in Kansas and Maine were less than one quarter of the amount which had been represented. The charge t hat American farmers were hugely in debt or more so than the farmeis or any other country was a gross calumny. Markets which could not be found abroad had to be made at home, ami they could only be made by protection. Referring to the countries of Central ami South America. Mr. Morrill said that of agricultural products, cattle, sheep and horses they had an abundance and cheap supph. not only for home consumption, but also for exportation. To carry any of these products in the vain hope of finding a market would be like "earning coals to Newcastle." On the question of sugar. Mr. Morrill said that the adding of free sugar to the breakfast table presented a stronger case than tea and coffee pre sented in 1S72 for like treatment. If by a bounty the United States could (as had leen done by several Kuropean countries! supply all its own sugar S!KK (HK,tHH) would be kept at home that was now sent to Cuba and elsewhere never to return. In conclusion Mr. Morrill said that any amendment offered in good faith that would improve the bill would lie cordially received, but all attempts to engraft thorns upon it would, he hoped, be rejected. How U Tin? The editor of the Schuyler Quill is a pronounced prohibitionist, on principle, and when he speaks in the following way, ho is evidently talking, as he sup poses, at least, for tho good of the cause: Tho third party prohibitionists have decided to have a state convention and nominate a ticket. Also tickets will bo placed in the field for congressmen, leg islators, and county officials. This is a move tho Quill thought would be made. It is a bad one for themselves. This fall tho prohibitory amendment is to be vot ed upon. If these prohibitionists had charge of tho full official department of the state they could have done no moro than has been done submit tho ques tion to the people. Having thus obtain ed all they could they ought to bo con tent with working for thai cause and let all else alone. But, no, they are not satisfied to let well enough alone and work for their cause, gaining friends for it in every possible manner; they must still chase the jack o' lantern. If these foolish people only knew it they are in juring their cause, for their acts may lose votes for the amendment. It looks very much as though the leaders of this good, but greatly misguided party, were short sighted or wanted tho amendment defeated so as not to rob them of their political thunder. Our advice to the prohibitionists would be to let every thing alone but the amendment and center their strength on that. Surely, as has been often said, the leaders of these third party prohibitionists are a lot of cranks- near-sighted ones at that. "Mis. Blaine," says tho London Chronicle, "proves himself an abler man in controversy than Lord Sallisbury, although having a worse case to defend. The representatives of England seem mere babies in tho hands of Mr. Blaine." When the Samoan treaty was made, the German press made remarks precisely similar to these. The Bismarcks, they said, with the better end of the cae had got the worst end of the bargain. These are the views that Americans read in the foreign newspapers as to their dis tinguished secretary. The only discov er how feeble and ineffectual he is when they Iok at him through the wise spectacles of an American iniigwump. IPJattsmouth Herald. Those who. for the time, are trustees for a political party, and in position to do much harm or good, should exercise their trust in tho spirit of fairness. Thero was no reason for the state con vention declining to renominate Steen and Cowdery. that wouldn't apply with triple force to Benton. In consequence of this fact there are very many republi cans who will endeavor to know the exact character of the men nominated in opposition to Benton, and select the best. If they are not found better than Benton, these men will not vote at all for auditor, or else, of several acknowl edged "evils," they will choose the one they regard as the least of all. The Telegram is not gifted with much good political horse sense or it would not try to belittle the republican candi date for county attorney, who happens also to be tho farmers' choice for the same office. If tho Telegram has any good reason to give why Mr. Albert would not make an excellent county at torney, it would be appropriate to set it forth, but these gray-whiskered refer ences designed to ridicule, are having just the opposite effect. We shall be glad to see Albert elected, but we would like to see the democratic organ of Platte county show a little increase in political horse sense, if not wisdom, as the years go by. A most extraordinary condition of affairs prevails at Bairdstown. an oil vil liage on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, about twenty miles south of Toledo, O. It has had five incendiary fires within a week and every business house has been destroyed. Tho cause is thought to be the passage by the authorities some time ago of an ordinance forbidding the sinking of gas or oil wells within the town limits. It is alleged that men who are holding town lots at big prices, hop ing to sell them to oil men, and finding their aspirations checked, leagued to gether to burn the town with a view to turning the site into oil producing territory. A Methodist church at Lowell, Mass achusetts, has decided to use water in stead of wine in the communion service. One of the members, who had been a drunkard, according to his own state ment. and had tvvice returned to his old habits through the temptation placed in his way at the communion service, was the cause of the change. The minister said he could never pass the wine to him again, and the church unanimously con sented to the use of water instead. Ex. "TnE democratic convention could do "worso than nominate Guy C. Barnum "for governor. Ho is a democrat." Thus sayeth the democratic organ for Platte county. What a send-off that is! "Could do worse!" The Journal, on the other side of the political fence from Mr. Barnum, knows they could do a very great deal "worse." "He is a dem ocrat!" For pity's sake what less could you say of our good citizen, and say anything at all! John R. Clark, ono of Lincoln's most prominent and wealthy citizens, presi dent of tho First National bank, treasur er of the Nebraska stock yards company, and secretary of the Journal publishing company, a mau well known throughout the state, dropped dead Saturday even ing at 8, while talking to member of his family on the porch of his residence. He leaves a wife and three daughters, all young ladies. For several years he had suffered with heart disease. He leaves a fortune of about $."UO,lX)0. "Wm. O'Brien may ! county attor ney yet." says the Telegram, but the "yet" doubtless means with the Tele grain, "s'm'other year," not this one. Whatever may bethought of the present incumbent, who. we suppose is a candi date for his own succession, they do say he is very cautious -about giving his written opinion. Caution, however, is a great good quality when important public interests are at stake. The machine politicians of the repub lican party are responsible for the nom ination of T. 11. Benton for state audi tor. His course has not given satisfac tion to the people and they will not approve the re-noviination. We print elsewhere in today's issue an expression from the Kearney Hub, which is a fair sample of the popular mind on this subject. At a meeting Thursday at Fremont, of the North Nebraska conference M. E. church, it was voted unanimously to re quest the conference to turn over the property of the seminary at Central City to Mr. Bent ley of Grand Island, their trustee, to satisfy the creditors. The faculty, which was employed condition ally, has been discharged. Intekn.vl revenue receipts for the past fiscal year show an increase of eleven million seven hundred thousand dollars, while the cost of collection de creased eighty-live thousand dollars, compared with the previous year. Tho figures illustrate the effect of republican competency and economy in the man agement of tho industrial rovenue bu reau. Omaha Bee. Samuel W. W.

Iowa, had his head completely severed from the body by a mowing machine. Grandma Jackson of Elk City is one of the attendants at the M. E. camp meeting at Fremont. She is ninety years old. The alliance congressional convention of the Second district, unanimously se lected ex-Senator Van Wyck as their candidate. TnE Chicago Tribune thinks that Omaha is justly entitled to the appella tion of "the metropolis of the trans Missouri region." The bodies of ninety-eight victims of the explosion in Pelisser pit nt St. Etienne have leen recovered. So says a dispatch from Paris. A burst water main in Omaha the other day caused considerable racket in the way of throwing paving blocks, con crete foundations and dirt. Lewis T. Baxter of Davidson county, president of tho Nashville Commercial club, has been nominated for governor by the republicans of Tennessee. The residence of Joseph Hutte, a farmer near Plainview, was burned early Tuesday morning last week, and his four-years-old daughter perished in the flames. Lieut. Schwatka, the noted arctic explorer, who has been stopping for a few days at the Paxton, Omaha, has been on a terrible spree, verging upon deliri um tremens. Judge Bixler of North Platte, re cently appointed a member of tho pen sion board of appeals in tho interior department, has arrived at Washington and entered tiion his duties. Thursday afternoon, a cyclone struck the towns of Ossippee and North and East Wakefield, N. H. Trees were blown down, barns unroofed and heavy bodies carried through the air for considerable distances. The Lincoln woolen mills were totally consumed by fire Sunday morning, loss, over S70,000. The girls employed at the looms had to jump from the windows to save their lives, all othor means of escape beiug cm on. The Telegram misses no opportunity to make sport of Mr. Doody, the super visor from Lost Creek township, but Mr. Doody goes straight along about his business, and can doubtless stand the fun as long as the Telegram. Mis.s Jennie Habtman of Mertztown, Pa., having been bitten in the cheek by her net dog, grew apprehensive of hy drophobia, became melancholy, suffered for ten days by visions of what might be, and then shot herself through the heart The two men who robbed several pas sengers on the Elkhorn train Monday night week at Arabia, were captured last Wednesday night near Uood Lake.

From our regular rorreMindetit.l Secretary Windom is preparing, at the request of the president, a comprehen sive statement of the amount of revenue derived from the importation of sugar by the government. It is generally understood that this statement is to be used as the basis of a Secial message which the president purtioses to send to congress, giving his ideas of what amendments tho senate should adopt to the tariff bill. There is a doubt as to whether the president will advise the adoption of the reciprocity outright, as advised by Mr. Blaine, or some sort of compromise. The probabilities are strongly in favor of his taking the latter course. The tariff debate has so far leen con fined entirely to the democratic senators; long speeches have been made by Sen ators Voorhees, Vance and Morgan. The republicans are waiting until they have definitely determined just what points in the bill are to be covered by the amendments, and one of them said today that he did not think tho vote would be taken on the bill before Sep tember. Speaker Reed has appointed the con ferees on the part of the house on the "original package" bill, passed last week. Representatives Reed of Iowa, Thomp son of Ohio, and Oates of Alabama. It is regarded as practically certain that the house amendment will lie agreed to by the senate. The committee on rules reported, and the house adopted the resolution in structing the committee on pensions to investigate the charges which Repre sentative Cooper of Indiana, recently made on the floor of the house against Gen. Raum, commissioner of pensions. The committee in its report stated that all of the essential statements of Mr. Cooper are hearsay, and his conclusions conjectural, and that they did not know whether they are true or false; but, con tinues the report, "whether true or false your committeo believes that an investi gation should be had to the end that the truth may be ascertained: the public service must not even rest under suspicion and the character of the public officials must be so clean and their administration so honorable and straightforward as to command the pub lie confidence and withstand the most careful scrutiny. Every public official should invite the most careful invest i gation of his public and official acts, and your committee believes that Gen. Raum. whose public and private charac ter has been heretofore without taint or suspicion, will gladly promote the in vestigation." Gen. Raum is very much pleased with the action of the committee and of the house. He refused to dig nify the charges by officially asking for an investigation: but he has not hesi tated to say privately to members of the committee that he wished for it. Senator Sherman has the people with him in his effort to have the Congres sional Record edited. If there ever was a publication that needed a careful, painstaking editor, it is that same cum brous and misnamed Congressional Record. Postmaster General Wanamakcr has resumed his warfare on the Louisiana State Lottery, and is determined, if it can possibly bo done, that congress shall adopt the bill which the house committee on post offices has just re ported, which prohibits lottery circulars and tickets, lists of drawings, money or drafts for the purchase of lottery tick ets, or newspapers containing lottery advertisements or drawings from being carried in the mails or delivered by car riers, and imposes a penalty of a tine not exceeding 8.100 and imprisonment not exceeding one year upon any person depositing such matter in the mails. The house committee on elections ex pect to decide tho celebrated Arkansas Clayton-Breckenridge contested election case this week. It is believed that it will be by a party vote decide that Mr. Breckenridge is not entitled to the seat which he holds, and Col. Clayton hnving been murdered while trying to obtain evidence in the case, another election will be ordered. Senator Frye has received another letter favoring reciprocity, from Secre tary Blaine, and that together with the correspondence on the Behring Sea ne gotiations, has caused Mr. Blaine to be the most talked about man in the United States. Mr. Blaine is very much in earnest about reciprocity, and calls attention to the fact that as long ago as February he made a statement to the republican members of the ways and means committee urging them to con sider reciprocity in making up the new tariff bill. With one exception Repre sentative McKenna of California the republican members of that committee decline to talk on the subject. Mr. McKenna says that he has from the first favored Mr. Blaine's idea. Even the democrats admit that Mr. Blaine deserves great credit for the manner in which he has handled the Behring Sea matter. v.t .-i RinL'le democratic senator or j i. i.o.,i fQlL- n'lout memrjer enuore mc .. - -- boycotting the north in case the fedend election bill becomes a law, with which sonthern telegraph wires have of late been burdened. An English Opinion. Herapath's Journal, heretofore as or thodox a free trader as any newspaper in England, has this to say: "It was tho dream of Messrs. Cobden and Bright that what they called free trade but ichich turns out to have been little more than free imjtortation of food would make England tho chief manu facturer of the world. England was to make cotton goods and America to grow cheap wheat and meat in exchange for them." But, pursues tho editor of Herapath's Journal, it is evident that America is growing tired of raising cheap wheat for England or for any other country; tho downward prices of wheat are forcing tho American farmer to turn his atten tion to other products, and are also turning capital from agricultural to other industries. Consequently, Ameri ca will make more of its own cotton goods, ironware, and manufactures of all kinds than ever liefore, and the operat ives engaged in manufacturing will con sume more farm products than ever be fore. "If such a result lie witnessed." to make up the exact words of Hera path's, "during the next few years, the free fowlers- -tee can nut justly call them five triitlrrs will lie hoist by their own petard." We call attention to the candid ad missions of Herapath's Journal. Free trade never was contemplated by Bright and Cobden. Free Tood. cheap food, was wanted that wages might lie cheap er. With cheap food and cheap wages England would be protected against the products of the dear lalior or America. That was the English "plan of cam paign." It would have worked well had not we interposed a protective tariff. Note also how clearly the English editor foresees the revival of American agricul tural prosperity through the agencies of diversified crops and increased manufac tures. Inter Ocean. liKOKCIA I.KTTKi:. What a Former l'latte Comity .Man AlHiut Politic and Thiit. :iy. Lrr.LLA. Henrv County. Georgia, July 21st, 18IHX Editor Journal: Having received many inquiries in regard to this country, I thought I would answer through The Journal, which is the most welcome visitor that comes to our Georgia home. We are all well and could not be lietter pleased with the country than we are. It is far better than we anticipated, in every respect. We have an almost per fect climate, with health and water un excelled. While not as fertile as Nebras ka, crops of till kinds can be produced in paying quantities. No country can lieat us growing cotton, sweet potatoes, mel ons and grapes. One bale of cotton to the acre is common, which is worth fifty dollars. Our greatest surprise on com ing here was the reception that we re coived from the people. A more kind and tolerant people could not be found. In a late issue of The Journal you quote me as saving that I was almost a democrat and then add that I did not give the reason why, leaving the reader to infer that my conversion was compul sory. The fact is there is as much free dom here politically as in Nebraska, and that there are as radical republicans here as I ever met but when it comes to state politics no white person would think for a moment that his interests would best be subserved by voting to put in power ignorant negroes. Out of all the northern settlers, and there are quite a number of us here, there is not one but what is more ardent in the sup port of white rule than the native Geor gian. There is as free and fair ballot here as in any place I ever lived. The only issue here is shall tho white man or negro rule? I say most emphatically the white man. I will say to my friends: "Come and see for yourselves "and you will be surprised when yon learn "the facts " 1 am here to stay J. .1. Jcud. Happy Hoosier. Timmous. post master of Idaville. Wm. Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined for the bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the liest kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: "Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether ho lives or dies." He found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life. Only o0 cents a liottle at David Dowty's drug store. Weather Keport.

IS miles from Salt Lake City, ami reached onlv via the Union Pacific. "The Overland Route" is now open for the season. This is the only sand lieach on Great Salt Lake, ami is one of the finest bath ing and pleasure resorts in the west. Great Salt Luke is not a sullen. listless, sheet of water, lieating idly on the shore, but on the contrary is as beautiful a sheet of water as can be round anywhere. It is 21 per cent salt, while the ocean is only 3 percent.nnd the water is so buoy ant" that a person is sustained on its sur face indefinitely without the least effort on his part. Experience has proven its great hygienic effects. Owing to the stimulating effect of the brine on the skin, or the saline air on the lungs the appetite is stimulated, and after a bath, the bathers are ready for a hearty meal, and feel greatly invigorated. Fine bath houses accommodating 100 people, have lieen erected at Garfield Beach, in connection with which there is a first-class restaurant and a dancing pavillion built out over the lake, all of these are run by the Union Pacific, who guarantee a first-class resort in every respect. The Union Pacilic has made low rates of fare for those desiring to visit Salt Lake City and Garfield Beach. For complete description of Garfield Beach and Great Salt Lake, send to E. L. Lomax.
