New York, Nov. 28, 1839, and iu 1817, with his father's family, became a resident of Princeton, Illinois. From there thoy moved onto a farm in the eastern part of Bureau county, Illinois, remaining there till 1861, When Mr. Gray started farming for himself near Spring Valley, Bureau county, Illinois. After this he engaged in tho grain trade and general merchandise, until he moved to this state in the spring of 18SJ, engaging first in farming and afterwards in tho hard ware business. At Arlington, Illinois, ho served as member of tho school board ten years and was also president of tho city council (with duties of mayor). Hero Mr. Gray has served two terms as .mem ber of tho city council, being" elected president of tho council .fuiidor the mayoralty of D. Schupbach and G. V. Phillips. In mental training, Mr. Gray has evi dently utilized the advantages of the common school of his boyhood home, afterwards attending Knox college, at Galesbnrg, Illinois, and graduating there in tho scientific department. His nomination as a candidate for the upper house of the state legislature came to him without solicitation on his part, and ho will mako the canvass in the district (Piatte and Colfax counties), to win for n publican principles and re publican methods. Ho believes public business should bo conducted on the same general principles as a man con ducts his private business, and wh..n he gets to Lincoln as senator, it will be found that in ability to see and under stand, and also to enforco his views by argument, he will in that body have few equals, probably no superior. It is safe to say that in his charge the interests of this district at tho capitol during his term of office, will bo fully looked after. NEBRASKA'S NEXT GOVERXOft. yS55 Sfew. Jack MacColl took a homestead ad joining what is now the city of Lexing ton, in 1870. His ancestors were Scotch, and his early manhood was spent on a Canadian farm. Ho left homo in 1809 and immediately set out for the west. His first work was as a laliorer for tho Union Pacific.R R. Co., and the follow ing year he took up tho homestead where he now lives. From the first lie succeeded, because he had learned busi ness methods as well as farm routine. The first county clerk of Dawson coun'y was removed for cause, and MacColl was appointed iu his place; He held the office thirteen years, although he took it in the beginning under protect. He lias never been an oilico-seeker, nor a politi cian in the accepted sense. Ho served one term in tho Nnbrasku legislature, and was a capable, conscientious mem ber. In ltflK) las friends in western Ne braska urged him to becuir.ua candidate for tho republican nomination for gov ernor, and he reluctantly consented. L. D Richards was nominated, r our years later he was an active candidate, but the nomination fell to T. J. Majors. In 18LH5 his friends were as loyal and enthu siastic as ever, and thoy went into tho state convention with many new recruits and nominated him ,)uly L Jack MacColl is called thd Nebraska "commoner." Such ho is in fact. He is plain And easily approachable. He is sympathetic, cordi-il and warm-hearted. He is a friend of tho laborer as well as the man of business and is loved bv r.no and esteemed by. the other. Personally no is ciose-inoniueii and conservative, but all the tiwo strictly business. He will make an ideal governor. The Jouunai, editor adds to tho above, that in his acquaintance with Mr. Mac Coll he has fouoj him true to his polit ical principles; a man of generous iaf pulses, faithful ?nd loyal to his friends; he has abundant good cunimou sense and a judgment trained :o select the better ways of accomplishing good results. It is now nearly three mouths since the Republican state ticket was placed in nomination, and during the whole of this time the opponents of Republican ism iu Nebraska have not been able to breathe a word derogatory to any can didate, or to assail the ticket as a whole ou any material point. As a' matter of fact the ticket as a whole is the best that has been put in the field in this state for many years. The comment of the press of Ne braska upon the nomination of Jack MacColl h&B been the most flattering ever accorded the candidate of auy carry in this state for the gubernatorial office, and the enthusiasm that was shown in the beginning has not ouly not abated but has grown with each week of the campaign. His canvass thus far has been almost entirely iu the western part of the state, which section is respond ing nobly and promises the greatest Re publican vote shown since the inception of tho Populist movement. It is not necessary to dwell upon Jack MacColl's personal fitness or business qualifica tions, because they aie well known to all men. It is enough to say that his nianlino.-s and great-hearteduess are sure patsports to the affections of the people, -and there is gronnd for the be lief frequently expressed that ho will lead the entire Republican ticket, even thongh the ticket be exceptionally strong through and through. Oriamlo Telft is one of tho pioneers of Nebraska, and has a icculiar hold upon the iep2c of Cats comity, where ho has resided for so many years. That- ie:rard cxteuus to jill parts of tho state where he is known, and that is throughout nearly all of the length and breadth of Nebraska. He has held various posi tions of public trust nuu had served sev eral terms in the legislature oC tho state without ono word having ever been breathed against- his personal character or official acts. He will make a capable, J honorable, conscientious presiding offi cer of tho senate, and if emergency should ever require, would fill with sat isfaction the executive office. Joel A. Piper, who has served one term as secretary of state and was re nominated unanimously, by acclama tion, was entirely deserving of that com pliment. He has conducted the aifaiis of the office and solved as a member of the various state bunds to which ho be longs with both intelligence and "fidelity to the public interests.haviug no thought except, ihc interests of the people of the whole state. His election cannot b8 ni:n:iti:ions, like his nomination, but it will follow as the reward of trood offi cial oouducf. The nomination of P. O. Hedluud for auditor was more thsin n recognition of the Swedish-American and tho other fortiiBH voting element of the slate. Ho hap fwvod nearly four years as deputy auditor and has proven to tho people hi fitness in every respect to fill the of fice as ir chief. He is one of Nebraska's bait business men, ho is a high-minded gentleman of irreproachable character, and is in fact one of the kind of men that all men delight to honor. All of tne best qualities of manhood and iho highest attiibntes of the .suc cessful niitl honorable business man are combined in Charles E. Case-, the par ty's nominee for state. treasurer. Ho has been known for many years iu the business and political circles of Nebraska and never has an evil insinuation been breathed against his name. As a banker he lirs been conservative, safe, and hon orable in his dealings with all men. This fact is attested by the remarkable unan imity of .sentiment in his favor through out southern Nebraska where tie is best known, and by the people of all parties in hie own coaury who join in the testi monial of confidence that has been sent out to the entire people of the state. T3:e office of attorney general has never been better managed than during me incumbency of A. S. Churchill, tho nominee for re-election. He has shown himseif to be a lawyer of ability, and no pfLsouai interests or political prejudices have ever swayed in the least the decis ions that ho has been called upon to ren der. His re-lection will bo a just recog nition of his professional abilities and personal integrity. Captain H. C. Russell, tiie old soldier candidate, is as brave and fearless in the discharge of his official duties :ls ho was courageous iu helping to beat down armed secession. He is a faithful and competent official. Ho knows nothing but his duty and ho doe-s it at all times. Ho is a strong man per,onu!ly and his candidacy wills strength to the entire ticker. The candidates for supreme 3 mires are Mercer has nerved to tsran ia the flee ond or Omaha district aud will be re turned for the third term'bja roaring majority. Ross Hammond, fhe capa ble young newspaper man of Fremont, has been nominated in tho Third dis trict, and while he has to meet the uni ted opposition of the Democrats, Popu lists and free silvcritos, he has a host of friends and there ia little doubt of his election. Congressman Hainer, again a candidate in the Fourth district, has made an admirable record and his "re election is a foregone conclusion. Con gressman Andrews has a walkaway for jthe re-election in the Fifth, as a result of the excellent service that he has given in the post. A. E. Cady, the "giant" of tho big Sixth, is making a magnificent campaign against odds, but his ability aud honesty are recognised by the masses and reports from the district give every assurance that he willt over come the fusion majority that he'had to meet at the outset of his campaign. All of the candidates of the Republi can pairyin Nebraska stand for safe, conservative, aud a businesslike admin istration of public affairs, and their elec tion nloug with the majority that Ne braska 'will give the national ticket, will go hand in band with the return of bet ter conditions and a renewal of prosper ity in state and nation. Itryan and the Itcet Growers. And now we are told by the local Bryan organ that 90 per cent of the sugar beet growers of Pierce connty will vote for Bryan. U this wore literally true it would only show that the sugar beet growers of Nebraska are willing to abandon beet growiug and. go back to growing corn and oats. Nobody has tried to stab the beet sugar industry as persistently as bos William Jennings Bryan and nobody has worked harder than he to give tho foreign sugar ncct grower preference ovor the American sugar beet grower. The best sugar producers of Germany, Austria, France aud Belgium receive bounties on all the sugar they export to the United States. But Mr. Bryau is not willing to give the American sugar beat raifers any protection either in tho shape of bounty or import duty to en able them to compete in their own mar ket with tho foreign product raised by half-paid labor. Mr. Bryan's principle has been: "Buy in the cheapest mar ket and let home industry take caie of itself the best it can." The sugar beet growers of Nebraska know all this and that is one reason why they will not vote for Bryan. In voting against him they will only be carrying out Bryan's own precept that tbey should cast their votes for their own interests. Omaha Bes. 3RD DISTRICT HOSliHEE. Sketch of the Republican Con gressional Candidate. THE CAREER OF BOSS L. HAMMOND. Hver Before m Candidate For Any OSto. Bora aad Baited a Quaker West Fraas the Faro lata the Frlatiic Uaslaeaa. Seveatcea Years a Baaideat af Nebraska. A Saeeessfal Basinets Career. The names of few men in Nebraska .are more familiar to the public than that of Ross L. Hammond, the Repub lican nominee for congress in this, the Third, district. Mr. Hammond should, perhaps, not be designated as a politician, yet he has been identified iu some degree of promi nence with the fortunes and political warfare of his party. Being the editor of a partisan newspaper he has pro jected bis opinions iuto all campaigns with such vigor as to command atten tion. Mr. Hammond was born in the village of Le Grand, la., fMay 13, 1861. Ho comes of Quaker parent age, was reared in a Quaker neigh borhood, surrounded by Quaker in fluences and e'ducated in the public and Qnaker schools. Until 18 years ago he lived at home, assisting on the farm and caring for livo stock, his father being somewhat extensively engaged in the business. He was given a thorough schooling in the rugged virtues of in dustry and frugality, and to this early inculcation of these traits he attributes ' AMERICAN GOODS IN DEMAND. Tbe New Trade Departure WUI BaaaS Uwa Industries. Sales of American goods have, we are glad to note, been increasing lately both in number and importance. Moreover, they have not been confined to any one locality, our exchanges showing their existence in New England and western cities as well as in New York. Every true American must bo glad to read the advertisement of prominent retail stores that are no longer ashamed to acknowl edge that they sell American goods.

In 1878 be graduated from Friends' academy, Lo Grand, after words at ending school at Penn college, Oskaloosa. The first taeto of the printing business, in which he has been engaged for 17 years, was had when a boy of 15 or 16. At that time be and bis brother pro cured a small printing press and some type aud began to learn the faseiunting "art preservative." They pursued this pastime evenings and rainy days, and soon their little printing office erew to such dimensions that their mothersur rendered her pantry to their uso. Though loving the farm, they were led to believe they saw an invit ing occupation in this new one which had germinated in their mother.? pan try. And so the farm was ultimately abandoned for the printing bnsi uess. In 1879 Mr. Hammond eaiije to Ne braska ond located at Fremont, wheri? The Tribune was purchased and where he with his two brothers have since been engaged in the successful management of a newspaper plant and publishing business. In the division of work the editorial management fell to tho subject of this sketch. His conduct of the newspaper has been characterized by an intelligent aggressiveness that has made Tho Tribune conspicuous aniouc tho newspapers of Nebraska. The man ufacturing business of the firm ex tends over a half dozen or more states. Jt is the largest labor employing insti tution in the city of Freinout, annn ally paying out for this item something like $20,000. The concern has always pursued a liberal policy with its em ployes. Their rights and interests hava ever been considerately regarded. As a result there has never been any dis satisfaction among employes and never a strike or labor troublo of any scrr. It is one of the few institutions that js going through the present eia of de pression without a single rednclion iu wages. His firm and his nowpanar have always contributed liberally to the upbuilding of their city. Every inibije enterprise has always been vigorously promoted. Mr. Hammond has bc?n prominently identified for many years with the Ne braska Press association. Heltas b;en its secretary aud preidonr; and has for peveral years past been selected to rep resent it as a delegate to the notional association meetings. He is married, has ono child aud a comfoitnbto and cosy home, lie has spent his time dur ing three sessions of tLo Nebraska legis lature at Lincoln iu the interests of his paper and has in this way received some valuable insight into legislative methods that will bo of service in a larger field. He has never Lefore been a can didate for public office of auy una. xi.e nomination rqr con gress came to him as a graceful tribute from his party iu recognition of bin staunch service and as an evidence of faiti iu bis inleUigeuce aud integrity. Pofscesiug, as he dees, the vigor, energy and ambition of young mnnucod, his friends believe him to lxs peculiarly qualified to represent the district iu congress, and meet the pressing de mauds of 8 western constituency with credit aud ability. THE AMERICAS BKASD. hope this new trade departure will not be limited to any particular date, but that it will be maintained throughout the year, and we are quite suro that tho American flag at the head of on adver tisement will attract customers who are proud of their patriotism and who pre fer buying American goods rather than tho cheap and nasty shoddy articles that the free traders invite from foreign countries. Stick to the flag, buy Amer ican goods and thus help to give em ployment to American labor. FREE TRADE IN SALT. IU Cast to the Railroad Laborer aad Salt Producer. We have been shown a letter from a salt dealer giving quotations ho had re ceived on a certain grado of salt at $3.40, f.'o.b.. deck in Boston. At that price, allowing 2 English shillings for freight from Liverpool, the Liverpool dealer receives practically $2.90 per long ton of 2,210 pounds. The freights from the western New York saltfield to Boston are $2.40 per ton of 2,000 pounds, 12 cents per 100 pounds or $2.(59 per long ton; hence, to compete with "the Englishman, the western Now York salt producer must sell at 71 ceuts net per Jong tou." How can be possibly compete? Tho American salt producer and the railroad laborer lose employment, and tho profit gees to England. The English man sells at $2.6:) net. The consumer buys salt no cheaper than under protec tion, and tho sole result of this free trade gift is to lessen the employment of American labor. Mail Steamship Carry Freights Cheaper Are Well Paid Fe How IJaht aa aa OM Sir Thomas Sutherland, president of the Peninsular and Oriental Steaseskra company, in a recent report to his stock holders has contributed some authori tative information as to theexisteaoe of British steamship subsidies, which tho free trade papers in this country persist in claiming have no existence im fact We quote Sir Thcaflas: "There is, I know, a section of the public who profess to believe that a sub sidy is paid to a mail company as a sort of generous gift on tho part of tho gov ernment toward the proprietors of that company, that it is paid without auy commensurate service being rendered, and -that the company is able to live and thrive merely on tho strength of being a mail carrier aud receiving a mail sub sidy. There can be no greater delusion, if indeed that idea is really seriously entertained in any quarter. We have been paid during tbo last ten years a very considerable sum of money, but iu carrying out the service involved, which has been paid for at a far lower rate than that given by foreign governments for similar services under their flags, the actual carrying out of the contracts has involved an expenditure by this company in ten years of something like $18,000,000 or $20,000,000 mere thaa has been received throughout tho ten years fiom tho state." We arc glad to know, authoritatively, that there is at least one British steam ship company in actual receipt of "a subsidy" from tho British government. We hope this point will no longer be denied by the free traders. But we never for a moment supposed, nor do we know of anybody else who supposed, that the British government, or any other gov ernment, was paying subsidies for noth ing. Of course there is a measure of re turn, and that consists in tho transpor tation of the mails. But what we do claim and alwavs have claimed is that tho subsidies paid by the British and other foreign govern: ments to their respective steamship companies carrying mail matterpaya been for larger than the 'miserable pit? tances doled put to American stejuij; ships performing similar services for tho American government, The foreign mail steamers start pa. their voyages with a larger amount pf tho expenses of each trip guaranteed through the mail subsidy than the American steamships can secure. Our lines arc handicapped in their expense account to tho extent of tho difference between the subsidies paid by foreign and American governments. Our lines arc still further handicapped by tho higher wages that are paid to American officers and crews. Therefore the foreign mujl steamers can a fiord to carry freight at lower rates than American steamer. thus securing tbo business, or, if the ..it .. O. H.
