Joseph Paschal and family returned
Thursday night from their western trip,
which they enjoyed very much, going
and coming in a wagon, and taking their
own time. Mr. Paschal says that the
crops in Nebraska are looking fine. In
those parts of western Nebraska and of
Colorado, where the crops are "under
the ditch," the crops are superfine, im
mense. There is a wonderful contrast
between the green fields under irriga
tion and the table lands that trust to
the ordinary rain-fall.
The county treasurer's report.which
the law provides shall be published the
first week in July, has not yet 6een the
light. The treasurer says it is "too
much trouble to prepare it." But there
must be some other reason. As good an
officer as Mr. Elliott is thought to be
should not let a few hours work prevent
him doing his duty in following the pro
visions of the law. But, no matter, the
tax-payers of Platte county are entitled
to a perusal of the report and it should
be published, trouble or no trouble.

The Whitmoyer Rifles, Co. K, First
Regiment, N. N. G., will, according to
company order No. 9, by Captain Kilian,
go into camp on Wm. Ernst's farm, two
miles north of town, next Saturday
evening and stay until Monday. The
boys will go into camp for practical
work; 180 rounds of bullets, half of
which will be for record. Col. M. Whit
moyer offers a gold medal for first prize
for good marksmanship and Capt. J. N.
Kilian a silver medal for second. Dur

The patent medicine fake scheme is
being worked successfully here and
there in the state. There is some music,
some talk and then bottles of colored
water are sold, three for a dollar and
yon get your money back, but suddenly,
after a deposit of dollars, the lights are
put out, the show disappears and off
with them go dollars enough to supply
the outfit with spending money for
quite a while. According to the Head
light, they recently played Stromsburg
in about this style. Morbid curiosity,
combined with the desire to get some
thing in exchange for nothing, leads
people into a great deal of trouble.
Mr. Wm. Kammeir, manager of the
local cream separator, met with an acci
dent last Saturday which proved quite
painful but not serious. He was busy
about the boiler when accidentally one
of the steam valves was turned open
and the escaping steam and boiling
water played about Mr. Kammeir's back
and right arm which caused a severe
scalding. Dr. Hansen took the case
under treatment at once and the patient
is up and around but unable to do any
work for the present. Mr. John Baily,
who seems to be quite useful in any line
of business, is now managing the sepa
rator to the apparent satisfaction of
patron and principal. Platte Center
Signal.
Last Saturday a very sad accident
happened at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John Schram, three miles east of the
city. While the mother was in the gar
den a short distance from the house, the
second daughter aged five years, tried to
start the kitchen fire and in so doing her
dress, which was wool, caught fire. Her
older sister threw a bucket of water over
her, but this did not extinguish the
flames, and before the mother could help
her, the child was so badly burned that
when her dress was removed, the flesh
dropped off. Doctors did what they
could, but their patient died about three
o'clock the same day. Funeral services
were held in the Catholic church Sunday
and the remains interred in the Catholic
cemetery.
Duffy & Son issued the initial num
ber of the Platte County Democrat
Thursday last. Their paper is a six-
column quarto, two pages home print,
the patent part being furnished from
the Western Newspaper Union office at
Omaha. Both proprietors have been in
the business before, and do not, of
course, strike their full pace in the first
issue. The salutatory sets forth the
aims of the new paper as "democratic at
all times and under all circumstances,"
and says "we had the strange anomaly
of a so-called democratic paper advo
cating the election of William J. Bryan
and Roes Hammond on the same page!"
referring, of course, to the stand taken
last fall by the Telegram, which had (up
to last year, at least), been regarded as
the organ of the democrat party since
1873. Whether this is a sufficient and
good reason for the sixth newspaper, the
seventh periodical, for the city of Co
lumbus, is a question of most impor
tance to Duffy & Son, and they will
doubtless do their best to make their
answer good. The Journal believes in
everybody doing the very best they can,
and in this spirit welcomes the new
paper as another help in the upbnilding
of the material interests of the county,
so far as its "free and unlimited coinage,
etc." does not interfere.
Triple Conbiae.
The free-silver conference, composed
of democrats, populists and free-silver
republicans, met at Maennerchor hall
Monday, and after considerable talk
upou, around at and over a resolution
they came to a decision. Albert con
tended that fusion was uot likely to be
had unless the democrats were allowed
to name the one candidate to be conced
ed to the populists. (At the time, this
was considered by many of the conven
tion a move in the interest of Kavan
augb, and so was opposed strenuously
by the others.)
Finally, it was decided that the con
ference should recommend to the demo
crats to concede to the populists the
nomination of a sheriff, all the other
candidates to be named by the demo
cratic convention, after which they ad
journed. The result of the populist convention
held at the same place was the nomina
tion of John C. Byrnes for sheriff, he
getting about two-thirds the votes of
the convention. Daniel Driscoll and Jo
seph P. Johnson being the other candi
dates. The name of R. Y. Lisco did not
go before the convention.
The main interest of the afternoon
centered at the opera house, where the
democratic convention was held.
D. B. Dickinson of Granville presided
over the convention, Blake Maher and
C. B. Tomlin, being respectively secre
tary and assistant.
Hendryx, Becher, Ottis, Davis and
Draper were appointed a committee on
credentials and in due time brought in
their report. There were no contests,
and there was the usual interest mani
fested in the calling of the names.
A committee on resolutions was pro
vided for and after a while named by
the chair, and consisted of Moran, Car
rig, Gleason, Robison and Blaeer.
When they returned with the result
of their labors, it was found that thoy
re-affirmed the Chicago platform of '1X5;
re endorsed their leader and champion
in the presidential campaign last year,
commended the investigating state com
mittee fthis part was probably Mr.
Moran's contribution to the resolutions,
and said a good word for Judge Sulli
van in case he should be nominated for
supreme judge. The resolutions were
promptly adopted without debate.
While the committees were at work
Judge Duffy waB called on for a speech
and responded, filling in the time, assis
ted by a long-whiskered man among the
delegates, who seemed to be especially
excited by a view of the Judge on the
platform he kept quite quiet during all
the remainder of the proceedings. Mr.
Duffy linked the names of Jefferson,
Douglas and Bryan together in his array
of democratic principles and doings.
When he spoke of the democracy as a
war party in the supression of tho re
bellion we noticed that he cast a sheep's
eye towards his friend Parks, who was
at New Orleans in those days. He com
mended the republicans in their method
of party organization, commencing at
the solid foundation stone of the town
ships and so on up to the national or
ganization, and said the democracy
would profit by following their example.
The convention struck their gait when
Hale moved to proceed to the nomina
tion of a candidate for county treasurer.
Hans Elliott was the only candidate
named, and waa nominated by acclama
tion. Iu his speech of acceptance he
told them that two years ago he told
them he could make no speech and he
was in the Bame fix now. He had tried
to use every man fair, and promised to
do his duty if elected.
C. A. Newman and G. W. Phillips
were placed before tho convention for
clerk. There was considerable talk
about the manner of voting, secret bal
lot or viva voce on call of townships,
which weomit both ways were adopted,
at the option of the voters (a pretty
shrewd move on the part of the Phillips
men). The vote as announced was 105
for Phillips, 15 for Newman, and it was
made unanimous for Phillips. Walter
expressed his gratitude, said he would

Gleason, R. C. Moran and Becher were
appointed a committee on conference
with a like committee of the populists,
and a recess taken.
After a call to order the convention
was informed that the populists had
placed in nomination for sheriff J. C.
Byrnes.
There was a little politic sparring,
back and forth, everybody recognizing
that the result of this meant fusion or
anti-fusion. The fusion forces, however,
were ahead, many of the delegates here
having been delegates also to the free
silver conference and the result was that
while on the informal ballot Byrnea had
44 votes, Gruentber 3G, Kavanaugh 22,
and Hale 17. On the first formal ballot
Hale first withdrew in favor of Byrnes,
then Gruenther, ditto, and on motion
of Carrig, Byrnes was nominated by ac
clamation. Duffy received 36 votes for judge aud
Robison 78, and on motion of Duffy his
nomination was made unanimous. He
expressed surprise at being a candidate,
andif elected, would do what ho could
to please them.
At this stage of the proceedings Mr.
Byrnes entered the hall and was called
to the platform. He was received with
cheers, and spoke at some length. He
had not been used to meeting the de
mocracy except on the hotly-contested
political battlefields. But when the
democrats and populists indorse fusion
it makes it possible to secure the judi
ciary in our state; do away with govern
ment by injunction; secure free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 16 to 1, and
enthrone Nebraska's favorite son as
president. He thanked his friends for
tbe honor conferred in placing him upon
the democratic ticket, which never
knew defeat and the populist which
never knew when they were defeated.
The nomination of L. H. Leavy as su
perintendent of schools then followed,
he getting on the informal ballot 84
votes to 21 for Moyer and 9 for Moersen,
Rothleitner withdrawing from the race,
and the rules being suspended, and the
nomination made unanimous. Leavy
said that he could talk to school chil
dren and to teachers, but was not used
to facing political conventions. He felt
very grateful especially to friends in
Columbus and Bismark, where he has
taught for years.
Rossiter was selected by acclamation
for surveyor, and Drs. Stack and Alger

Several I'wBHiileratioii.
Since the last issue of The Journal,
which gave the proceedings of the re
publican county convention, Judge Post
has, through his adherents, announced
the list of delegates us selected by huu
in pursuance of the action of the con
vention authorizing him by a vote of 59
to 53, to name the delegates.
We are informed that Judge Post has
felt surprised and hurt that certain per
sons who were delegates elect to the
convention should have voted "against
him."
The answer of one of these was that
he voted not only his own sentiments
but in accordance with the wish of
those republicans of the Third ward who
supported him at the primaries, and
also with the right in the matter. In a
convention called, among other things,
expressly for electing delegates to a
state convention, he didn't lielieve in
allowing any one man, no matter who he
was, to name the delegation. He didn't
believe in one-man rule. He said, too,
that he was a supporter of Jndge Post
and desired to see him both nominated
and elected, and believed he would be,
but he was tired of having machine
methods prevail to the exclusion of good
republicans.
Under the resolution as passed, W. A.
McAllister, who was (with Carl Kramer)
defeated as a" delegate by the voters of
the Third ward, bobs up serenely on the
list for the state convention, and I. Sib
bernsen is selected from tbe First ward,
but probably because of influence in
Woodville and Walker townships.
Some of those who opposed the adop
tion of the naming clause of the resolu
tion think that Judge Post had no right
to select men who had been turned
down at the primaries, or those he well
knew could not have been elected.
There are two ways, however, of looking
at that. A working majority of six re
publicans in the convention have their
way, and submit the management of the
nominating campaign so far as naming
those who shall help him at tbe state
convention to the discretion of Judge
Post, and he has selected the persons
named, all representative republicans of
the county. He doubtless thinks his
selection is wise, and that he has not
overstepped the authority granted him.
Whether the appointment of Mr. Mc
Allister and Sibbernsen was judicious
party policy, under the circumstances,
is another question than a matter of
right.
We are firmly of the opinion that the
interests of Mr. Post in Platte county,
and also of the republican party here,
would have been better subserved had
the naming clause of the tesolution
been omitted.
Those who have followed the course
of matters in the state have not failed
to note, first that there seemed to be an
understanding that the delegates to the
state convention be named so far as
practicable by tbe county central com
mittees, without calling a convention
for that purpose. This has been done
to a much greater extent than ever be
fore in the history of the stato.
It is not only objectionable, but it is
bad practice. The average American
voter wishes to do his own political
work. It sometimes isn't much, to be
sure, but he likes to have the privilege
accorded him and not assumed by men
whom he has placed in position, as offi
cials or as representatives of his political
party interests. In other words, it is
machine politics, in a very offensive
form.
We know very well the plea9 under
which this has been done in many coun
ties of the state, but none of them are
worthy of consideration beside tbe fact
that every republican voter is in party
matters a sovereign in his own right,
and values his prerogatives as an inde
pendent, individual member of tbe
party, above merely personal considera
tions of any sort.
If Judge Post is defeated for the nom
ination, in the state convention, it will
be due to this one fact more than any
thing else.
It is conceded on all hands that the
i men selected to speak for Platte county
! will be ardent and firm supporters of
Judge Post at the convention, and will
do all that can be done towards that
end.
The Journal has yet seen no sufficient
reason for a change in belief that Judge
Post will bo nominated with but little,
if any, practical opposition, which cer
tainly will be gratifying to his many
adherents throughout tho state.
