OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
REPUBLICAN PLATFOEM.
WHEREAS , The Republican ptrty , br Its
course Iqr th past thirteen jean as the domi
nant political organization of th United
States , has allied itself to the llberty-lorlng
masses of the world , and has made a record
which inTltes scrutiny , and challenges all history -
tory for a parallel in elevating Lumanitf , aud
establishing on a firm basis "a government by
the people for the people ; " and

2d. That we earnestly desire that the credit
of our government shall be finely maintained ,
in order that the commercial and industrial In
terests of the country mar not suffer lnnry | by
fluctuations in values or by impairing in any
degree that confidence which DOW j revails in
circulating medium which we
regard to our
hope will , at no dutant day , be based upon
metalle currency , the recognized money of the
3d. That we believe that banking , under a
well-guarded national system , should be free ,
and we counsel reform and economy in all de
partments of the public service , anl a reduc
tion of the public debt in such a way and as
rapidly , as it may be done without imposing
burdens upon the industries of the country.
4th. That we demand a rigid accountability
Jn the discharge of official duty on the part ol
all office-holders , Whgther State or Katlunal ,
and tm-t ci delegates , ( pe Wng lor constituent *

ever capacity they may be employed.
5th That while we recognize and appreciate
the advantages derived by the people from a
well-regulated sysUm cf railwaj s we demand
that these public highways ttiould be rendered
-subservient to the public good. That while we
- disavow any hostility ic ard railroad corporations
to resist
d termination
tions we proclaim our
by lawful means all efforts to impose oppressive
extortionate transportation tolls.
or
Ctb. That taxation , to be just , must be
equMly imposed upon all classes of property ;
we therefore demaud such National and fatate
legislation as will compel railroads and all other
corporations to p y tb same proportion ot tax
as it imposed on individuals.
7th. That we favor the proper exercise of the

porated in the national constitution , and ought
never to be violated.
llth. That the present so-called Quaker In
dian i > oUev has failed to afford either benefits
to the Indians or protection to the frontlrr set

the management ot the Indians to the War De
partment.
12th. That we favor the reapportionment of
Btate representatives through the enactment of
a new constitution at the earliest practicable
d y consistent with our present fundamental
lav , and that we recommend the submission to
the direct vote of the people in a separate arti
cle at the time the proposed new constitution
Is voted upon , the questions of "Prohibition , "
"Local Option , " and license.
13th , That we approve the acts of Congress

tection of the National authorities when they
ere availed by hostile legislation , or by the vi
olence of armed associations , whether open or
ecretf.and In view of the recent outrages In
the southern States , wn demand the enforce
ment of the laws that these rights may bo se
curely and amply nrotecUJ whenever and wher

MB.VALDO IAOX , one of the
most popular Republicans of Burt
County , has been nominated for the
State Senate from the Sixth Sena
torial District , comprising "Washing
ton and Burt counties. This nomination -
nation is virtually equivalent to an
election.
Mr. Lynn is represented to us by
parties intimately acquainted with
him , as being a man of unswerving
integrity and unquestioned capaci
ty. The Republicans of his district
may , therefore , be congratulated
ppon their choice.
WHEN'Mr. Augustus "Weis sub
scribed one hundred dollars toward
converting the Omaha Pott into a
Bourbon organ , he did act dream
that "Weinstein , Mader & Co , ex
pected to sell him out in the Demo
cratic convention. That was a very
poor investment for Mr. Weis , but
he ougnt to have known better.
THE Louisiana controversy mud
dle is. after all , likely to come to a
peaceable solution at the coming
Ktate election. Telegraphic advices
trom New Orleans announce the
final consummation of a compact
by which both parties agree to main
tain good order and abstain from a
resort to intimidation , either through
the intervention of military force or
armed white leaguers. "Whether
the followers of Kellogg and Mc-
Enerywill faithfully abide by the
compact , remains , however , to be
seen.
St John Goodnch was next loud
ly called for and advanced to give
his views to the multitude.
He thought every word Miller i
said was true. * Herald.
Before Mr. Saint John Goodrich
became a candidate on the Bourbon
ticket , he always bore a high repu
tation for veracity. But when Mr.
St. John Goodrich undertakes to
make people in this part of the coun
try believe that every word Miller
eays is true , he lays himself liable
to the suspicion that he is either
suffering from mental aberration , or
that his anxiety for office has in
duced him to impose upon the cred
ulity of his friends. "We venture to
say that Mr. Goodrich cannot find
another man in Nebraska , not ex
cepting the "twin" brother , who
believes every word Miller says.
Lot no man hesitate or hlgglp
about mere personal or side Issues.
The best ticket , State and county ,
evr presented to this people for their
suffrages elves the good men of
Douglas the power to strike a blow
for good government that tiicy have
never had so good an opportunity to
strike before. Charge , Democrats !
Charge Herald.
Yes , charge ! Democrats , charge ! '
Charge for Morton J Charge for
Miller ! Charge for the old fogy
ring.
"With the exception of all the
other Demecratic tickets that hayo
been nominated in the past fifteen
years , It is the best , the very best ,
ticket that ever , etc. By the way ,
was there ever a Democratic ticket
nominated thiitwas not pronounced
the best that ever , eto.
Therefore , charge ! Democrats ,
charge ! Charge along the whoje
Bourbon line.
THAT eminent Lancaster County
reformer Mr. Chapin , who for many
years was the chief of a plundering
land grab ring at Lincoln , has tak
en the stump as an Independent
candidate for the legislature.
It must be decidedly edifying for
people who are familiar with Chap-
in's record to Jjsten to his soul
sterring harrangues aeamst porrop-
tion as embodied in the Kennard
Stout ring. Where was Chapin
during the memorable Butler Im
peachment ?
Was not this same high-toned re
former tlfe Stout-Keunard ring can
d'date for Governor two years ago
Where were his active sympathie
during the penitentiary investiga
tion , and why did he then exhibi
such extreme anxiety to help th
corrupt ring ? The BEE has alway
been in favor of genuine political
purification , but it does net expect
to purify the political air with rotten
eggs.
WORK has at last been actively
inaugurated on the Nebraska Trunk
road between Nebraska City and
Brownville. The worJi is being don
under the supervision of Docto
Converse , President of the Midland
Pacific. It is expected that the road
will be completed to the Otoe coun
ty line by January 1st. According
to the .Nebraska City Press , work
will also be commenced at an earlj
day on the Brownville & l 't. Kear
uey road , which is to be tied and
ironed as soon as men and money
can do ic. This is cheering news
for for Nebraska City and Brown
ville. It is to be hoped that our Oma
ha capitalists will see to it tha
thegap'lbetwpen Qraaha < & Nebraska
City shall be closed within the nex
twelve months. Omaha has so far
said much and done very little in
furthering this important enterprise ,
but we believe the time is not dis
tant when our business men will
put their shouldcis to the wheel and.
push the Nebraska trunk" road to
final completion.
AND now , horror of horrors , the
Council Bluffs papers threaten to
organize a company of bridge ex
ploders , who shall , in case of emerg
ency , blow up or undermine the
Union Pacific bridge. The impend
ing emergency Is pointed out clearly
enough to be when the Iowa roads
shall insist upon delivering their
freight and passengers to the Union
Pacific in the Omaha depot. His
torical precedents are cited which
resulted in the destruction and
abandonment of the first bridge ,
that spanned the Mississippi river
at Rock Island. The Nonpariel
concludes its incendiary documents
as follows : "This is hlstcrv , and
the sequel is , that the wholesale
merchants of St. Louis , undaunted
still , determining that they had
rights , and that those rights must be
observed , levied an assessment upon
thenibel ves many firms agreeing to
pay as much as one thousand dollars
each for the purpose of hiring some
man , or men to destroy that bridge.
Thfc result was p-obably never en
tirely satisfactory to either party en
gaged in the controversy , but that
bridge , long since torn down , serves
as a reminder to the railroad nabobs
wha think that they can defy lotfa
legislation , Iowa law , Iowa courts ,
and Iowa citizens , of the fact that
the people are sovereigns in tula
country and that there is such a
thing as taxing their patience be-
vood endurance , "
LANCASTER COUNTY.
Political Reformers on the War
Path.
( Correspondent of the BEE. )
LINCOLN , Sept. 23.
EDITOI : OXAHA BEB :
On our way to the postofflce Sat
urday afternoon , a flaming poster
announced that J. W. Sharts and
W.P.Chapin , "People's" candidates
for the Legislature , would address
the citizens of Lincoln this evening
at the Opera House. At half-past
seven or eight o'clock we entered
the hall and found Mr. Sbarts read
ing and commenting on an editorial
which appeared in the Blade of re
cent date Mr. Sharts is not a very
good reader , but by close attention
we caught the sentiments expressed
in the editorial , which are as fol
lows :
The article charged the Journal
with being the tool of the ring , but
denied that the rank and file of the
party followed or accepted the ring
men as leaders. He endorsed the
article with many flourishes , and
declared that there was a ring , but
that the rank and file of the Repub
lican party bcomed to be its dupes.
Then the gentleman gave us that
portion of his extemporaneous
speech which had been carefully
committed to memory. He indulg
ed his imagination with a fiight to
heaven. He wondered what tome.
Republicans would do , when after
having safely reached the desired
heven , they would glance over their
shoulder and see some lucky demo
crat there a thing altogether im
possible. .After careful considera
tion , he concluded that said repub
lican "would jump over the battle
ment and take a nine days tumble
to hell" a move which we think
he would certainly be justified in
making. The brethren cheered at
that , though we failed to see a very
high older of wit in the afar fetched
remark.
He tben took up bjs record as a
soldier , and demonstrated to the
satisfaction of al } present that he
was not au officer , but a smooth
faced boy in the ranks. It w a a
Union regiment he belonged to , and
when he stated that out of the nine
hundred which left Cincinnati , sev
en hundred were sleeping under the
sod of old Virginia , the audience ,
true to their ojd democratic instinct ,
cheered again. Ybat there was { o
cheer over in the loss of "seven } iun-
dred Union soldiers , we cannot un
derstand. After apologizing for bis
physical inability to make a sneeeh ,
he retired.
Hon. W. F. Chapin undertook to
prove that he was just as good a Re
publican as Tom Keanard , by prov
ing Tom a rascal. Now proving
Kennard a rascal did not help him ,
any more tiian proving Til ton a lib
ertine would clear Beecher. What
ever Kennard may be , and we don't
think much of him as a politician ,
Chapin did not harm , him nor help
'
'
himself. Chapin dld'not'propose to
confine himself to county matters ,
but discussed national finance , the
Kellogg muss , and other questions
that were too heavy for him. Like
Sharts , he did not expect to make a
speech , so told them that he would
address them again , and retired.
There were seventy-five or one
hundred , at the most , supporters of
the opposition present , who admit
that it was , to say the least , very
discouraging to reformers. As to
the sucpess of the opening meeting
of the campaign for thp opposition ,
with few present and rambling re
marks by candidates , we leave your
readers to Judge , This wo know ;
Republicans are highly elated , the
opposition discouraged.

My attention has just been direc

in-your issue of the 25th inst. :
( Communicated )
Fair Play.
EDITOR BIE i
I am a Republican , and above al
things desire the success of the Re
publican party at the _ coming elec
tion.
tion.I
I am reliably informed that a cer
tain aspirant to the United States
Senatorship , whose popularity
among Republicans happens to be
below par from hjs past political re
cord , has cnme among ua 'to' influ
ence the decision of Republicans by
smuggling Democratic voters into
our primaries. Now while I desire
to see fair play and am willing to
concede to every capdidate the priv
ilege of contesting his claims In an
honorable manner , I protest against
suoh manipulation , and warn him
of the ponspquence.
We want a' fair expression 'or the
Republican sentiment , and J hope
every Republican will come to the
primaries and vote for men who
represent his wishes. H.R.
If I am the person to whom refer
ence is here made , I desire to say in
answer thereto that I have not only
not thought of "smuggling Demo
cratic fotere" into the "Omaha pri
maries , but , on the contrary , have
from the first refused to aid in s'tir-
riug up the dirty pools , whose stench
has heretofore filled the nostrils of
the entire State. It Is well known
to all factions in Omaha that I have
made an earnest effort to induce ,
without strife , the formation of a
legislative ticket , composed of able
and honorable men , who would
command the respect , confidence ,
and , support of the Republican
voters of that county. It is true that
I have requested Republicans
to nominate from this class of
citizens , men whom I could reason
ably expect to consider fairly , and
impartially , the candidacy of an old
resident of Omaha , sixteen years of
whose life were spent with them in
assisting to develop every material
interest Beyond this I have made
DO demand , no effort.
In answer to the imputation upon
my fealty to party , I have only to
say , that during the eighteen years
if my residence In Nebraska I have
aever , except upon one occasion ,
roted any other'than the Republi-
; an ticket. If any among yon can
present a clearer record , let him
'cast the first stone. "

Having made the circuit of Xe-
maha county and "captured" a few
items , wo propose to "turn them
over" to the readers of the BEE.
One mile west of Brownville wo
stopped to take a look over the mag
nificent farm of Gov. Furnas , con
sisting of 220 acres of gently undu
lating prairie land. Mr. W. H.
Lorance is in charge of the place
during the Governor's absence. The
whole farm has been carefully and
scientificailyscultivated , and thelOO
acres of orchard and nursery are
justly fcuid to be without an equal
in the west , and we believe that
better fruit , t-ither for size or flavor ,
cannct be found anywhere. Mr.
Lorance told us that he found no
difficulty in disposing of every
bushel of fruit at good prices as fast
as ripened ; while many persons
who have not taken the trouble to
engraft their trees , or select the best
uarieties , are obliged to feed their
fruit to stock , as there is sufficient
of the first-class article to supply the
market.
A few miles farther west we pass
ed the She'ridan mills which have
the reputation of turntnc out an ex
tra good quality of flour. Nemaha
county has very little- uncultivated
land , as most of it has been under
cultivation for fifteen to twenty
years , and everywhere you see
neatly trimmed hedges , fine orch
ard , stately groves and spacious
hoiibcs and barns , indicating a
wealthy and prosperous people.
Mr. John Strain ! who has lived
here for eighteen years , savs that
this is the first time that he has
ever failed to get a good crop. There
is a constant stream of "movers"
passing thiough here , they come
from the more western counties of
this State , and Kansas , and are re
turning east , totally discouraged by
the entire loss of their crops. They
tell sad stories of want and priva
tion , and that ( hey had to leave or
starve. Many of these funiiljes will
return in the spring ,
We returned to Brownville on
Saturday evening , and were in
formed that Mr , David Campbell ,
the city Marshal , had just arrested
a couple of men on suspicion of
horse stealing. The men had acted
strangely and told contradictory
stories in regard to the horse they
had with them. Theprisonersclaiin

POLITICAL NOTES.
Tell us , when did the Democracy
Jn the days of its power ever iuves-
'tigate and expose dishonesty and
fraud oommjtted within its own
ranks ? Never.
George Francis Train has at last
relinquished his intention of becom
ing President of the United States ,
but we've gone on too far in this
experiment of free government to
slop now.
They don't seem to have many
Reformers up at Ripon. When
Senator Carpenter , in his speech ,
qxclaimed , "Where now are your
Reformers ? " one of those awfully
practical fellows answered , "He's
over in the beer-saloon , playing
pigeon-hole. " Milwaukee Sentinel.
South Carolina is the right place
for the deliberate indorsement of the
tlijrc } term ' to emanate froin. It led
in the reb'eliion , was foremost in the
nullification project , and has been
generally of a bad spirit. . It was
not more than half loyal during the
Revolutionary war. Such a State
may well lead in third-term agita
tions The Republican party is not
likely to accept it. Pittabury Qa-
zelle ,
Returns from the entire state of
Vermont , excepting one town.show
that at the recent election the Re
publicans elected 183 members of
the lower branch of the Legislature ,
and the Democrats 48 , while there
are tjiree Independents , one Farm
er , and In flve towns ( here was no
election. The last House contained
216 Republicans and 32 Democrats
and Liberals. Evidently there has
J een a good deal cf independent vo
ting in other parts of the State than
Poland's district ,
Col. James O , Broadhead , who
has for years been considered one of
the "wheel-horses" of the Missouri
Democracy , "has gone back on the
party. " Having been invited to
take the stump for the Democratic
fitatp ticket , up responded in this
way : " " \yhiid I 'call never'justify
the acts of reconstruction' the
plunder of the southern people in
tlP ) PtJffle of loyalty f J cannot admit
that t\ war upon the Radical party
must needs be a war upon
Union men. Buch , I believe
lirmly , is the purpose and spirit
of those having charge of the
Democratic organization of Missou
ri. The tone and language of its
organs , the spirit of the address of
the Central Committee , and much
that was done at the State Conven
tion , must satisfy the careless obser
ver of this fact. For my part I want
none of such Democracy. I would
not oppose Mr. Hardin because he
was not a Union man nor favor Mr.
Gentry because he was , but when
that issue is distinctly made , and I
am told that Democracy means re
bellion , there is but one course for
Be to pursue.
Ex-President Andrew Johnson
Bade an address before thp Agricul
tural County Fair at Gallatin , Teu-
icssee , the other day , which was , as
jsual , composed of an historical ac-
jount of Mr. Johnson. He had
itood by the Union in Its hour of
> erll , aud he thanked God that the
lighway which he had traveled , in
jublic position aud life , was not
> aved with human skulls , his path
vas not strewn with dead men's
> ones , and he had never caused any
" * " " " 1J
of cajroage ft d eJauglv
ter. He announced himself as a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate , and reinaiked that when he
had been a candidate before
he had been betrayed by his
friend * . But in this treatment ho
modestly -turned for consolation to
the fate of other great men , adding
with striking effect : "Washing
ton , who led our armies successfully
through the Revolution , had his Ar
nold , Jefferson had his Burr , Jack
son had his faithless friends , Napoleon
leon had his.Ney , and if I were dis
posed to go farther back still into
history and cite other instances ,
Caesar had his Brutus. Our Re
deemer had his Judas and his Peter ,
and it should not be very strange
that Andrew Jobn&on had his Ed
ward and his "
Henry. After an
nouncing that he was a "Constitu
tional Democrat , " he "retired amid
applause. " There is only one trouble
with Mr. Jobnson he is too modpst.
