WBEKKAS , The Republican party , by its
course for tbe past thirteen jears as the domi
nant oolitical organization of the United
States. " his allied itself to the liberty-loving
znaiaes cf tbe world , and has made a record
which invites scrutiny , and challenges all his
tory for a parallel in elevating Luraanlty , and
establishing on a Cnn basis "a government by
the people for the people ; " and
\\UHEEAS , Its several actsin preserving the
Union , in promoting and strengthening a com
mon ailcgieuce to the flag and government of
this republic have paused into history and elic
ited tbe approval of the Uepublicin rentlnitrnt
of the age , therefore we , the representatives of
the Republican party of JCebraska , in convcn-
, tion assembled , do resolve aa roilows , viz :
I 1st. That all honest labor should be protected ,
. and receive its lost reward ,
i 2i , That ire earnestly desire that the credit
of our government shall be finely maintained ,
j inord-r that tbe commercial and industnalln-
i tercnU of the country mav not sutler injury by
fluctuations In values or by impairing In any
degree that confidence which now i revails in
regard to our circulating medium which we
hope will , at no distant day , be based upon
tuetalic currency , the recognized money of the
world.
3d. Tint we believe that banking , under a
weU-gusrded national system , should be free ,
and we counsel reform and economy in all de-
partnenUof the public bcrtice , anla reduc
tion of the public debt in such a way and as
rapidly , as it may be dorc w thout imposing
burdens upon tbe industries of the country
4th. Thit we demand a rigid accountability
In the discharge of official duty on the part ol
all office-holders , whether fclate or 2iaiii.na ) ,
and thu n dcleg tcs , t pealing for constituenU
wham werepresent we di-avow any sympathy
with , or for dishonest public officials , in what
ever capacitT they may be employed.
6th Th t while we recognize and appreciate
tbe advantages derived by the people from a
well-regulated tysUm of railways we demand
that these public highways thould be rendered
subservient to the public good. That while we
disavow any hostility toward railroad corpora
tions we proclaim our d tern.inatioii to resist
by Uwf ul means all effort * to Impose oppressh e
or extortionate transportation lulls
Ctb. That taxation , o be just must be
equally lmi > oscd upon all clas-cs of property ;
w therefore demaud such National aud State
Irgf sUtlou as will compel rai roads and all other
corporations to pjy th- same proportion o > tax
as Is imposed on ibdividuals
7th. That we favor the prorer exercise of the
powers couferred upon the national govern
ment by the constitution to regulate oommerte
between the faults , and to this end we recom
I mend that the government e tablish and ope
; rate a double track railway from the Missouri
river to the Atlantic seaboard.
gth. That we earnestly icquest that our
Be'.ators secure the paaia e ot Croun = e's Hail-
road Lznd Tax Bill.
9th , That we tavor the amendment of the
Constitution of the United fctates providing
for the election if Presidint , Vice ITesldcnt ,
United Stales Senators , and all other federal
officers by tbe direct vote of the people.
10th. That the unwritten law enacted by
the example of the Father of his Gauntry in
declining a rc-tlectiou to the th.rd Presidential
term , is ai controling si though it was iucor-
norated In tbe national constitution , and ought
never to be violated.
llth. That the present so-called Quater In
dian po'lo5" ' his failed to aEord either l nc&ts.
to the Indians or protection to the front ! r set
tlers , and we therefore demand the transfer ot
the management of the Indians to the War De-
*
That we favor the reapportlonmcnt o
EUte representatives through tbe enactment o
new constitution at the earliest practicable
day consistent with our present fundameuta
law , and that we recommend the submission to
the direct rote of the people In a separate arti
cle at the time the proposed new constitutlot
is voted upon , the questions of "Prohibition,1
"local Option , " and license.
1 Jth , That we approve tbe acts of Congress
which put the rights of all citizens under pro
tection of the National authorities when they
are assailed by hostile legislation , or by the vi
olence of armed associations , whether open or
secret , nd in view of the recent outrages in
the southern States , we demand the enforce
ment of the laws that these r'gbts may bo se
cure ! r and amply.nrotectd whenever and wher
ever Invaded ; we do , however , disapprove of ul
unconstitutional legislation , lor the cure of
any of the disorders of society , or evils which
prevail In our land.
Hth. That we are in favor of and most cor
dlally Invite immigration to our State. Ke-
brasca needs immigration , that its vast agricul
tural. ml eral , and manufacturing resources
may be developed , with an area sufficient to
make ten States as large as Massachusetts , and
a soil unsurpassed for fertility , we g vc a
hearty welcome to the down-trodden masses
of the old world , nd arsure them that they
bill be secure IL thrir lives , liberty and prop
erty , and free to hold and express their relig
ious ted pollfcal opinions without restraint.
15th. That , relying upon the intelligence of
the people of our young and rro'pcrous com
monwealth , which is soon to take high rank in
the great family of states , wo hereby renew
our allegiance to the party which we represent
and call upon its daises , and conditions o
men to unite with us in | crpctuating the bl ss-
ings of free government in accordance with
the cherished principles which actuate and

WITH three legislative tickets in
the Held , the political struggle in
Otoe County promises to be red hot.
THE Independent's candidate for
Secretary of State was in the city
yesterday making numerous votes
for Tzschuck.
Onio Republicans are now dis
cussing , not whether they will carry
the State , but how large the ma
jority will be. Some estimate it as
high as 20,000.

ical field in Omaha and be has come

TUB all-absorbing topic in Paris
just now is who shall stand on the
top of the reconstructed Vendome
column. While the Bonapartists

Charivari suggests that the mein-

THE PKIMAEIES.
The Republican primaries , for
nominating a legislative ticket for
Douglas county , are to be held to
morrow. Douglas county is enti-
to two Senators and six Represent
atives. In view ot the impor
tant Issues that are to be deter
mined by the coming legislature ,
it behooves every Republican to take
an active interest in in the selection
of delegates who are nominate the
ticket. The delegates chosen to rep
resent Omaha and Douglas County ,
Republicans , should bo honorable
aud trustworthy men , whose
chief aim ought to "ha the
nomination of an unexceptionable
ticket The opposition have already
made their nominations , and while
some of their candidates are deci
dedly weak there are others whoso
popularity must bo conceded. The
Republican party can carry Doug
las county if we nominate
legislative candidates who possess
an unexceptionable record. It is ,
therefore , of the very utmost im
portance that every Republican shall
express his choice through the pri
mary. This is the only way to pre
vent and forestall the nomination
of bad men. It is the only way to
becure the succefrs of the party in a
conflict that will determine the po
litical complexion of the next Uni
ted States Senator. Kb Republican
can afford to remain indifferent
where such g eat issues are involved.
PKOFESSOK PERUY'S so-called
agricultural oration proved utter all
to be a mere political harranguo in
the interest of the Democracy.
The text "free trade and hard
money" was evidently prepared
witL great care by Morton , Miller &
Co. , with a view of strengthening
the Democratic ticket.
It was also a very ingenious eflort
in behalf of transportation monop
olies. Instead of advising Nebras
ka farmers to encourage home in
dustry and thus build up a honn
market for their produce , this free
trade philosopher advises them to
exchange their products in the pau
per labor market of Europe for their
plows , agricultural machinery , cut
lery and clothing. This -would prac
tically force American mechanics
and laborers who are now consum
ers to abandon their workshops and
factories and become producers. In
other words , the great industries of
America now employ several mil
lions of mechanics and laborers
would be paralized and destroyed ,
because American labor could not
possibly compete with the cheap la-
labor of the foreign countries.
If the western farmers
hbould be silly enough to follow
Professora Perry's advice , they
would have to transport every bush
el of grain now consumed by their
very best and most reliable custo
mers , the American rnachanica ,
across the Atlantic.
This would of course bo very
profitable for the transportation
monopolies ; but it would bo the
death of the producing class. It is
to bo regretted that an orator at an
agricultural fair should so prostitute
his talents as to play into the hand
of demagogues of the Old Democratic
School.
IXORATITUDE has killed offinan >
political leaders and nobody will be
eurp-jscd if it shall prove the chie
lover in Ben. Butler's taking off
As will be seen by our Boston dis
patches , Collector Simmons , who
ewes his position to Butler , hai no\\
taken the war-path against his for
mer protector and associate. Ho
announces his intention to turn
State's evidence , by exposing all the
corrupt combinations in whica he
and Butler have heretofore partlcl
pated. This will be very entertain
Ing to .cutler's enemies , but wil
hardly raise Simmons in the popular
pstimato.
illustrates more strik
ingly the giant strides of Nebraska
toward progressive civilization than
the coiihtant improvement in the
journalistic arena. Among the verj
latest and most notable changes is
the Sutton Times , which is hence
forth to bo published tri-weekly.
"Perseverance conquers , " is the
motto of the energetic and enter
prising publishers , and it is to be
hoped the people of Clay county , and
especially the citizens of Sutton ,
Will furnish substantial proof of
their appreciation of the undertak
ing by their patronage ,
Hox. JOSEPH E. LAMASTER has
been nominated for the State
Senate by the Republicans of Otoo
county a choice that we hope will
be ratified by a rousing majority on
the loth of October.
The Centennial.
The United States Centennia
Commission announced its readi
ness to rcceiveapplications for space
n the International Exhibition of
870 , at Philadelphia. It is important
hat it should be known with the
cast possible delay , what space will
bo ' required in each of the
departments of the Fxhlbl-
tion by American exhibitors , In or
der that it may be determined what
room can be assigned to foreign na
tions. Manufacturers aud others
who propose exhibiting on this oc-
casioujbhould therefore make known
their intention promptly , and thus
avoid the disappointment of finding
two room they desire preoccupied.
It is especially desirable that early
provision should be made for the
organization of those collective ex
hibitions of natural resources and
rare materials from different sec
tions of the country which can not
be made by individual exhibitors.
The importance of this , as an incent
ive to immigration and to the
investment of foreign capital ,
can not be overestimated ; and a
liberal provision for the prompt and
thorough performance of the work
will amply repay those otates which
undertake it ,
The advertisement of the Director
General of the International Exhi
bition tells in what manner appllca-

From the report of theselect com

Hon. J. M. "Wilson , to tbe House of
Representatives , 3rd session 42nd
Congress :
"The next step in construction
was under what is known as the
Davis contract. This was a contract
made with J.V. . Davis , a man with
little , if any , pecuniary abilityand (
not expected to perform the con
tract , ) for the construction of that
part of the road , beginning at the
western terminus of the 'Ames con
tract,1 and extending to the western
terminus of the road , a distance of
one hundred and twenty-live and
twenty-three hundretus miles. It
was upon the same terms as the
Ames contracts. Under it the resi
due of the road was constructed ,
and from a balance sheet taken from
the books of the railroad company ,
it appears that it cost the railroad
company $23,431,808 10
And from a balance
sheet taken from the
books of the trustees

rant , page 130.
"By the Chairmrn :
Question Do you know whether
any consideration was paid to Mr.
Davis , as promised to him , for the
assignment of his contract to the
trustees ?
Answer I don't know whether
there was any consideration prom
ised. I know thatl paid him at a
certain time when there was a set
tlement of an account made up of
other transactions , and I think I
allowed him in that , either three or
five thousand dollars on account of
the assignment of the contract to
the trustees. "
Testimony of Sidney Dillon ; page
505 of report.
In order to explain this transac
tion more fully , it may be necessary
to call to mind the modus optrandi
used in building the U. P. R. R.
After the regular and lawful stock
holders in the railroad had formed
their company , seven trustees , the
parties named in the assignment of
Davis , formed themselves into a
company ostensibly to obtain credit
and funds to build the road. They
bought the charter of an old outfit
called the "Penn. Fiscal Agency. "
It allowed them to let contracts ,
handle the money , make tbe divi
dends and in fact tran&act all the
business of the road They dubbed
this machinery the "Credit Mobilicr
of America. " not
They only con
trolled their own operations but bv
an agreement they induced the U.
P. stockholders to sign , these Credit
Mobilier stockholders were to vote
six-tenths of their stock , thus giving
them complete control of the Union
Pacific railroat } company in its busi
ness transactions.
It was to this R. R. Ring , within
a ring , represented by these seven
trustees , that this virtuous political
reformer , Major Davis , assigned a
contract , the profits of Avhioh
amounted to eight millions of dollars
lars for the paltry sum of three L3 ]
or five [ S ] thousand dollars , and
signed the contract , knowing he
should so assign it , whenever the
trustees demanded it. And yet he
says lie nnd nothing to do " with Cre
dit Mobilier.

Slate Fair Haoes "Eanaall's Performan
ces Yesterday.
Never before were there so many
pe jple collected at. the Driving Park
a ? there were yesterday. On Fri
day there were over ten thousand ,
aud yesterday the crowd must have
numbered between twelve and fif
teen thousand. The attraction was
tbe races , especially the trot in
which Omaha's favorite , ' 'Randall , "
was to take part.
Everybody ivanted to see the lit
tle pet get up and dust , and he cer
tainly did it. His contestants in
the frco-to-all 3 in 5 for
- - race , , a
purse of $900 , $550 to first horse ,
and $350 to second , were " Brown
Jack , " of Sioux City , and " Mon
roe , " of Topeka.
The first heat was won by "Ran
dall , " in 2:2GJBrown : Jack" com
ing in second. "Randall" took the
second heat In 2:24 : ; and the third
heat was given to him by the Judges ,
although he came in second , on ac
count of a "foul" by "Brown
Jack's" driver , who , in taking the
pole cut "Randall" off too short.
There was considerable ill-feeling
manifested by "Brown Jack's"
friends over this decision.
"Ilnntlall" trotted
luaauiifully.
under the skillful management of
his driver , Harry Heiniker. He
keeps his feet splendidly , and rarely
ever breaks. His performance yes
terday was fully up to the expecta
tions of his thousands of friends
who witnessed his trotting. The
wildest enthusiasm greeted him
upon the conclusion of each licat.
Tbe running race was won by
Frank Alexander's "Rambler" in
three consecutive mile heats , in
1:51 j ; 1:23 ; and 1:55. 'Ihe other ,

"Foes of the " '
Famor3"-Prof. Perry's Ad
dress.
Prof. Perry , of Williams College
delivered an entertaining and in-
struetiyo address , entitled "The
Foes of the Farmers , " before the
State Agricultural Society at the
Baptist Church last night Ho
dwelt at considerable length upon
the financial question. The princi
pal points made by hiin in his ad
dress , arc as follows ;
1. Farmers aio really almost ev.
cry body , but liavo been heretofore
politically nobody , and have now
wisely made up their minds to be
somebody.
2. Nature is a friend to the tillers
of the soil.
3. Farmers generally will do
well to have one , two , three , or
more products to sell subsidiary to
their main crop ,
4. The best legislation for farm
ers is "Jet alone ; " but actual legis
lation Is almost always against
them.
5. When dollars begin to dance
up and down in value , farmers be
gin to dance to a doleful tune.
G , Greenback-grasshoppers are
worse than any other kind of grass
hoppers for the farmers ,
7. Protection is to industry what
.a choking collar is to a man. It
stops healthful circulation both
ways.
8. Permanent parties , and espe
cially parties with the principles
slipped out , are of doubtful utility.
Farmers are the men to abolish
therfl.
9. Vote only for good men , who
believe substantially as you do , with
out tbe slightest reference to wdrn-
out names and shiboleths.
10. Keep the eyes open ; look in to
the nature of things' ; " watch 'and
pray , " and bate debt next to the
devil.
