Tho republicans of Nebraska reiterate and cordially indorse the fundamental principles of tho republican party as etinciated by successive national repub lican conventions from 185(5 to 18SS and beliovo the republican party capable of dealing with every vital issue that con cerns tho American people, wherever the rank and tile of the republican party are untrammeled in Hie exercise of their po litical rights. Wo heartily indorse the wise and con servative administration of President Harrison. We also fully approve the wise action of the republican members of both houses of congress in fulfilling tho pledges of Hie party in legislation upon the coinage of silver and other measures of national importance and congratulate tho country upon the con tinned reduction of the national debt. Wo most lreartily indorse the action of tho 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 becauso of the opposition to all just pension legislation by a democratic congress; yet wo do not regard it as the full recognition of the great debt of ob ligation which tho government and the people owe to those heroic men by rea son of whose sacrifice and devotion the union was saved and the government restored. Wo d 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 the union, and by reason of whose services and devotion the government now ovists. We hold an honest, popular ballot and equal representation T all the poo pie tobo'tlie foundation of our republi can government and demand effective legislation to secure the integrity and purity of elections, which tire the foiin dation of all public authority. We favor such revision of the election laws of the state as will guarantee to every voter tho greatest possible secrecy in tho casting of his ballot and secure the punishment of any who attempt tho corruption or intimidation of voters, and wo 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. Wo oppose land monopoly in every form, demand tho'forfeiture of unearned land grants and the reservation of the public domain for homesteaders onh. Wo recognize the right of lalor to or ganize for its protection and by all law ful and veaceful means to secure to itself tho greatest reward for thrift and industry. Wo are in favor of laws com pelling railroads and manufacturers to use all appliances which science supplies for the protection of laborers against accident. We demand the enactment of a law defining tho liability of employers for injuries sustained by employes in cases where proper safeguards have not been used in occupations dangerous to life, limb or health: railway and other public corporations should be subject to control through the legislative power that created them. Their undue influ ence in legislation and imposition of unnecessary burdens upon the 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 tho same as that of individuals: that the provisions of our constitution, requiring tho assessment of franchises shall be en forced by suitable legislation. We demand Uie reduction of freight and passenger rates on railroads to cor respond with rates now prevailing in adjacent states in tho Mississippi valley, and we further demand that the next legislature shall alwlish all passes or free transportation on railroads, except ing for employes of the railroad com panies. We demand the establishment of the system of .postal telegraphy, and request our members in congress to vote and work fbr 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. We 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 aatkm to one of the highest of any country In the world, and its efforts to fully "monetize silver should bo contin ued until it is on a perfect equality as a money metal with gold. Owners of public elevators that receive and handle grain for storage should lie 0edared public warehousemen and corn polled under penalty to receive, store, ship and handle the grain of all persons alike, without discrimination. The state regulating charge for storage and in spection. All railroad companies should be required to switch, haul, receive and ship the grain of all persons alike, with out discrimination. Wo favor the enactment of more strin gent usury laws and their rigid enforce ment under severe penalties. Kcpuhlicaii l"ereciitative Convention.

Wednesday afternoon last, about txvo hundred delegates from tho democracy of the Big Third convened at the opera house in this city to nominate a stand ard bearer in this district. Judge Craxvford of West Point pre sided, ami the usual preliminaries xx-ere gone through with. The only exciting episode of the gath ering xvas during the discussion of the ad visibility of endorsing the allianco nomination of O. M. Kern. When Judge Iliggins r Grand Island declared that he had talked xx-ith many of the dele gates from the northwest portions of tho district and they had said that very few democrats would vote for Kem, there xvas quite a bit of hissing and one delegate arose and asked the judge to name one delegate; the judge did so and then xvas requested to name others, to xvhieh ho replied that his veracity was not usually questioned, and continued xvith his remarks against endorsing Kem. The vote settled it; Kem was not en dorsed, and the democracy lost a seem ing possibility of a chance to help se lect a partnership congressman for the Third district. Tn a somewhat lengthy, eulogistic speech. Judge Iliggins presented the name of W. 11. Thompson of Grand Is land. The rules xvere suspended, and Thompson nominated by acclamation. Being called upon he made the usual and some nexv complaints against the republican party, and thanked the con volition for the honor or the nomination. Among the resolutions adopted was one favoring an amendment to tho con stitution so that the board of transpor tation may be elected by a direct vote of tho people. A resolution "unutter ably opposed to all sumptuary laws," the usual form of the expression against opposition to the liquor tratlic, was tabled, as xvas also a resolution faxoring the eight hour laxv. A central committee xvas appointed, and the convention adjourned without further incident worthy of note. William Henry Thompson, tho nom inee, xxas born in Carroll county, O., in 1S04. Ho graduated at tho Iowa law, school and located, in LSSl, at Grand Island, where he now lives. He xx-as county attorney of Hall county in lS87-'8. He is a married man and has txvo chil dren. He is very highly spoken of as a man. attorney ami citizen. I. I.. Albert. The republican and people's independ ent candidate for county attorney xx-as born in Clearfield county, Pennsylvania, Pec. 28, 1850. His father being engaged in tho lum ber business, this was also tho occupa tion of young Albert until ho was nine teen years old. at xvhieh time ho came west, attending tho Western college at Toledo, la., of xvhieh his uncle. E. B. Kephart, xx-as president, and or xvhieh he is a graduate. Under tho direction of Hon. F. C. Hormel, a prominent attorney of Cedar Bapids. Iowa, ho studied law, and was admitted to practice in Plymouth coun ty. Ho practiced in Iowa courts till 1SS0. when he came to Albion, Neb., xvhere he had an extensive practice until last fall, when health failed him. and ho spent the winter months on tho Pacific coast. Early last spring he returned to Nebraska, and with J. D. Stires. esq., opened a law office in this city. By his acquaintances here Mr. Allert is regarded as a young man of excep tionally good ability, a bright lawyer, and one who will Ih a credit to himself and an honor to the political parties which hax-e selected him as their candi date for the important office of county attorney. Titere is a gang of men traxeling the state now. selling wrought iron ranges. They sell these ranges at from S05 to 370, taking the purchaser's note which they afterward sell at the bank for S4o. The fact that they sell these notes for S4o is ex-idence enough that they are selling these ranges for more than they are worth. Our own local dealers are sell ing them for $45. yet there are people who seem to pay SC5 and $70 for the same thing to strangers. We have the names of parties who hax-e paid as high as $02.50 cash for a range that they can buy in Seward for $45. Tho law in this state requires each man engaged in this kind of business to take out a license, which costs $30. On Saturday last two of these men were in Seward on their xx-ay to York, after some stoves. They were asked to show their license, which they could not do, when Mr. Bly swore out a warrant for their arrest. They xx-ere overhauled near Tamora and brought back, and took a continuance for thirty days, xvhen the case will come up in Judge Miller's court Seward Blade. Murder Near Blair. Friday morning Charles Pratt shot and killed N. K. Town near Blair, this state, then shot Mr. Toxvn's daughter, Hattie, whose wounds will probably prox-e fatal. The cause is thought to be from Mr. Town discharging him about four years ago becauso his attentions to his daughter, became unbearable. After the shooting. Pratt xvas run down by Mr. Toxvn's son and a number of neighbors. About 12 o'clock Friday night a crowd of mounted fanners rode into Blair and were joined by about 200 citizens xvho went to tho jail, took the keys by force from the sheriff, got Pratt out and took him to a grove out of toxvn. He said his intention was to kill tho whole family; he had come from Missouri to do so, and he was sorry he had not. He hardly finished talking xvhen they pulled the rope and fastened it to the tree leaving the body hang. Miss Hattio, later nexvs says, will probably survix-e. Tho murder was committed at an early hour in the morning, while Mr. Toxvn was alout his work. Harry Toxvn, son of the murdered man, led tho lynchers and pulled the rope. Frank Harriman, the sheriff, fol loxved the eroxvd to the scene of the lynching and x-as a witness to the hang ing. No masks were xvorn, and there xxms no attempt at concealment. The democratic platform adopted last week admires Grover Cloveland; still believes that tariff is a tax upon the con sumer; is in favor of a .stringent usury laxv; "encourages tho masses to organize and under tho laxv to light capitalistic encroachments by widespread organiza tion and patient sacrifice;" protests against alien land holding in the United States; is opposed to interfering with the doings of tho southern democrats in counting down tho negro x-otes; favors the Australian ballot system; favors the election of U. S. senator by the eoplo: free coinage of silx-er; denounces the maintenance of tho state militia as an expensive luxury, and closes by saying: "Tho democratic party has a record of opposition to all sumptuary legislation. It does not believe that the social habits of the people are proper subjects for constitutional provisions. High license and local option, however, have been tried in Nebraska, and haxo gix-en satis faction to a majority of tho people. As between them and prohibition the dem ocratic party is unreservedly in favor of the formor, and attention is hereby called to tho hypoerisy of tho republican party, which, having caused the ques tions to bo submitted to the popular vote, thereby creating uncertainty, in juring business, unsettling values and depressing trade, purposely dodge tho issue in tho last convention and neg lected to say where it could be found as a party on these questions in the coming election." The Paddock bill to prevent tho adulteration and misbranding of food and drugs is being discussed on the sido now in Washington. Compared xvith the Conger land bill, Mr. Paddock's scheme is much moro in line with the demands of tho people. The Paddock bill is general in its provisions and oper ation, and is so framed that no special interest will secure from it any compe titive advantage over another, xvhile the Conger bill is simply special legislation. Those interested in a laxv prohibiting adulterated food, as all consumers are, would favor the Paddock bill. The bill is of national importance, and if it should liecome a law xx-ould work great good in xveeding out counterfeits and manufacturers of bogus goods xvho glut the market with their bogus wares. (Omaha Bee. In the address of Commander-in-Chief Alger at the Boston meeting of tho G.

Tho amount expended for relief during the year u as $221,350.18. The following reference was in Alger's speech: "While we lament the loss of nearly all tho commanders it is a source of gre.it consolation and pleasure to know that one of those great loaders of men is still spared to us and is in our midst today. Upon him this nation pours its xxealth of love and grat itude. Let us hope and pray that he may le permitted to remain here our leader and commander, our ideal and our comrade. God bless you, Gen.

A cosvextios of Ohio farmers last Wednesday resolved that henceforth the farmers must take a new departure and be a factor in politics; they purpose acting within their several party lines, and lend their aid to encourage and protect the interests of agriculture. The address concludes: "We are in fa vor of equal taxation upon all forms of property; government control of rail roads and telegraph lines as to rates aud charges; unlimited coinage of silver and making it a legal tender for all debts, public and private; the election of Uni ted States senators by popular vote; forfeiture of all unearned land grants; taxes direct and indirect as loxv as con sistent with an economical administra tion of good government; protection of pure food products from the ruinous competition of adulterated products; the passage of a law nullifying the effect of the original package decision." The Central City Nonpareil contains a communication from a man who signs himself a "mad democrat," in xvhieh lie refers to the saying of Cornelius Yan derbilt as to his son-in-law Elliott Shep ard, who now edits the Mail and Express of New York City that "he was more kinds of a d n fool than any man he had ever known." The "mad democrat" of Merrick proceeds to say that "Vau derbilt evidently had never heard of the democratic party of Nebraska. A whole convention of democrats at Columbus yesterday discounted Shepard so badly in the d. f. business that ho will hereaf ter hang his head in shame. The idiots could hax-e named the next congressman by endorsing Kem, but instead of that they made the election of the republican absolutely sure.' The Kearney Enterprise entered into an agreement for a consideration, xvith the prohibitionists, to advocate the amendment, and now says they didn't come to time xvith their part of the con tract and so the Enterprise will express the individual opinions of two of threo owners of the paper, viz., against the amendment. Though a great many newspapers are employed as special pleaders for pay. in the interest of those xvho employ them, in working their schemes upon the public, the best news papers are not of that sort, and advocate what they believe, in the precise line of their faith, and accept the consequences, whatever they may be. Any other meth od is calculated to xx-eaken the force of the editorial "xxe" among men. We hax-e additional evidence that winter wheat in Polk county does pay. In talking on the subject with James Watts xvho lives four miles east of Os ceola, he informed us that he had raised fix-o crops of winter wheat. Last year ho threshed 750 bushels, and this year about 1,(1-10 bushels or an average of six teen bushels. With a short corn crop this year, this winter wheat will help Mr. Watts out in good shape. More of our farmers should engage in it. Good crops for five years in succession, proves that it is a success xvhen properly handled. A greater variety of production is what we need. 'Osceola Record. The Nebraska democrats in their platform thanked God for tho presenta tion of the Union. When this aborigin al package was received by St. Peter at the celestial gato he called for Gabriel who blow his horn and startled the great angelic host xvho wept tears of joy o-er the glad tidings that the democrats had at last praised the Lord fortheover throxv of the southern confederacy; and a shout that rent the heavens came from the cherubim, "The millennial has come at last."

A short corn crop in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas will raise tho price of hogs next winter. Bacon will lie bacon in the spring. In the elaliorate article, published in the Stock Journal of June 14, the na tional bureau of animal industry proved that the price of cattle maintained a close parallel xvith the price of hogs. Statistics were produced, showing the relative price of each, from 1880 to 1889. When hogs went up, lieeves went up. When hogs declined lieeves declined. The theory as contended for by the bureau was that, after the prico of bacon reached a certain point consumers turn ed to beef as the cheaper meat. This created an extra demand for leef, and the demand run up the price of cattle. If that theory is correct, and is upheld by the fact, we may look for good prices for cattle next spring, because bacon will be fifty per cent alox-e what it is now selling for. It is xx-ell known that the boom of 18S2 began in the fall of the dry summer of 1881, xvhieh cut short the corn crops of the great hog raising states, just as the drouth is doing this year. The conclusion from these premises is, holt I on to your cattle, and raise hogs. Texas Live Stock Journal. Protection for Farm Product. Contention that the tariff imposed on imported agricultural products is of no avail by way of protection to American farmers will no more stand the test of facts and figures than most other asser tions of the industrious attorneys for free foreign trade. Under the existing laxv a tariff is im posed on the principal farm products, as follows: Wheat, 20 cents per bushel; corn, oats, barley and rye. each 10 cents; potatoes, 15 cents; live stock (other than breeding), twenty per cent on value. The effect of these charges, according to the great apostle of free trade, xvho never lets slip the opportunity for reiterating his creed, is that Tariff taxation is not limited to the consumer of imported articles, but the duties imposed upon such articles per mit a corresponding increase in prico to bo laid upon tho domestic productions of the same kind. Every sensible business man, xvith tho price lists of tho different trade centers lefore him, can see that this is not true; xvhile it is a fact that the tariff rates aliove quoted serx-e as a check to an in flux of foreign grown products which would, in the absence of such barrier, seriously embarrass market prices in the United States. Foreign producers pay the tariff on such of these products as they send hero, and hence cannot afford to sell them as cheaply as they could and would sell if permitted to bring their products here free. What they thus pay in the way of tariff goes into the public treasury, and by so much re duces the amount that otherwise would bo raised from our own citizens. But notwithstanding the fact that foreign farmers are taxed for the privi lege of selling their products in our markets, they did send here during tho last fiscal year staple farm products to the value of nearly $14,000,000, viz: Breadstuff's. $0,034,272. vegetables, $4, 455.354, lix-e animals. $3,270,277. After paying oxer two and three-quarter mill ion dollars as tariff, these were sold in competition xvith the products of Amer ican farms. It is with such facts as these that free trade attorneys should lie confronted when pleading xvith the farmer for his vote against the policy of protection for American labor. The American farmer can no more successfully compete against the cheap grown wheat of India and Russia than the American manufacturer can compete xvith his foreign competitor in making cheap goods. Tho tariff of 20 cents per bushel removed, and the price of American grown wheat xvould come doxvn, or foreign grown wheat would le sold in its stead. Proof of this lies in a comparison of market quota tions from the commercial centers of Europe and the United States. And farmers will find more profit in such comparison than in listening to the con fusing diatribes of free trade advocates. Washington Letter. From our regnlar cormpondent. Things are beginning to look like business in the senate. The federal election bill, as modified by the commit tee on elections, has been reported and placed on the calendar and Senator Hoar has offered the resolution, which was some time ago endorsed by the re publican caucus, providing for a change in the rules enabling the majority to cut off debate upon any measure after a reasonable time has been consumed by debate. The adoption of this resolution is certain; the only republican, Mr.Teller, has openly announced his intention to vote against it, though there is a prob able txvo or possibly three other republi cans may vote with the democrats against it; the adoption of this resolu tion means that the federal election bill will lx passed. Secretary Blaine has written a friend here protesting in vigorous language against the attempts in certain quarters to make it appear that he is nnfriendly to Speader Reed, and, what is more im portant, stating that if Mr. Reed should receive the nomination in 92 he will gladly take the stump for him. This is no surprise to the close friends of either of these gentlemen, but it probably will be to many other people, owing to the persistently circulated stories of bad feelings betxxeen them. It is probable that Mr. Blaine will show his friendship for the speaker before "92, by making one or more speeches for him in his dis trict during the congressional campaign. Half of Washington, officially speak ing, has gone to Boston to take part in the annual encampment of the G. A. R. The president and Secretaries Blaine. Rusk and Noble are there. It xvas thought last week that tho house would take a recess for three or four days for the purpose of allowing the mombers to go, but, in view of the mass of import ant business on hand, tho republican leaders refused to agree to it; but a great many or the members went any way, and it will not be surprising if there is a quorum on hand more than once this week. Since Mr. Carlislo went into the sen ate the democrats of the house hax-e no recognized leader, and the small fry members of that party, such as Rogers of Arkansas, and Enloe of Tennessee, are gix-en all the opportunity they want they want a great many to make monkeys of themselx-es. On Saturday Enloe tried to gain a little notoriety by making a stump speech lieoauso one of the door keepers, folloxving a long line of precedents, attempted to prevent his leaving the chamber during the taking of a vote. He was simply laughed at for his trouble. Democratic statesmanship, as represented in congress, knows not h ing higher or more patriotic than opi sition and obstruction; it has no opinion or even makes the pretense of having one. Tf congress persists, as now seems probable, in the declared intention of not providing for the erection of a new building for the government printing office at this session, it is likely that something of a nature not entirely agreeable will be heard from the labor organizations of tho country, xvho sym pathize with tho 2,000 people who are compelled to xxrk in the present dan gerous rookery. The sad story told by th president's message to congress recommending that the balance or $15,000 appropriated for the relief of the.sufferers by the Missis sippi rix-er Hoods ba used to meet the necessities of the poor and suffering people of Oklahoma has created much sympathy for the people of that ter ritory. At the last cabinet Meeting recipro city xvas discussed and endorsed. Mr. Wanamaker surprised his colleagues by his familiarity with tho subject; he bo lieves it would be a great blessing to tho people of this country.
