nant political organization of the United
States , hu allied Itself to the liberiy-lorine
masses of the world , and his made a record
which InTiua scrutiny , and challenges all his-
lory for a parallel in derating un > uity , aud
establishing on a firm basl * government by
the people For the people ; " and
WutKCAS. Its several ac : in preserving the
Union. In promoting and strcngt enlng a com
mon allegience to the flag and government of
this republic hare passed Into history an i elic
ited the approval of the Kepublic-tD entlmrnt
tl the age , therefore we , the represenUUves of
the B publican rarty of Nebraska , in couven-
tlon assembled. do resolve as roilowi , viz :
1st. That all honest labor should be protected ,
and receive Its lust reward
2J. That we earnestly desire that the credit
of our government shall be firaly maintained ,
In ordrr that the commercial and industrial in
terests of the country tnsvnot _ suBer injury by
fluctuations In values or by Impairing in any
degree that confidence which no r i revails in
regard to our circulating medium which we
hop * will , at no d ktant day , be based _ pen
metallc currency , the recrgniied money of the
wOtld.
3 < t. That we believe that banUrg , under a
well guirded national system , hhould be free ,
and we counsel reform and economy in all de-
pariments of the public service , an i a reduc
tion of the public debt in such a w y and its
rap.dly , u it may be doi e w thuut imposing
burdens upon tbe Industries of the country
4th. That we demand a rigid accountability
In the discharge of official duty on the part ol
all office-holders , whether State or Uaii nal ,
and thu > s delegates , tpeaking forcnnctltuents
whom werepiesent we di-avow any sympathy
with , or for dishonest public officials , ina hat-
ever capacity they may be employed.
5th Tht while we recognize nd appreciate
tbe advantages derived by tbe people from a
well-regulated sysU-m of railways we demand
that thesa public highways ihould be ren lered
subservient to the public good , lhat while we
disavow any hostility toward railroad corpora
tions we proclaim our d tern instlon to resist
by lawful means all efforts to impose oppressive
or extortionate transportation lulls.
6tb. That taxation , to be Just must be
equolly imposed upon all classes of property ;
we therefore demand such National and btate
legislation EI will compel railroads and all other
corporations to pjy tbe same proportion 01 tax
as is imposed on ihdlvldnals.
7th. That we favor tbe proi or exercise of the
powers conferred upon tbe national govern

rate a double track railway from tbe Missouri
river to the Atlantic seaboard.

Unltfld btates Senators , and all other federal
officers by the direct vote of tbe people.
10th. That the unwritten law enacted by
the example of tbe Father of his Country in
declining a re-election to the th rd Presidential
term , Is as controling as though it was Incor
porated in the national constitution , and ougbt
never to be violated.
llth. That the present so-called Quster In
dian policy has failed to afford either benefits
to the Indians or protection to tbe front ! r set
tlers , and we therefore demand the transfer ni
the management of the Indians to the War De-
. that we favor the reapportlonment of
State representatives through the enactment of
a new constitution at the earliest practicable
day consistent with our present fundamental
law. and that we recommend the culimisslon to
tbe direct vote of the people In a separito arti

I Jth , That we approve the 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 , and in view of the recent outrages in
the Mulhero States , we dem and the eniorce-
ment of the laws that tbe e r'ghts may bo se

"OUQANIZE ! " should be theite-
publlcan watchword. Bring out
the full Republican vote everywhere
is the best political advice the BEE-
can give. Take nothing for granted ,
gucc&ss is almost invariably the
fruit of fiurgy and exertion.
THE fctrcnsUi of Republicans in
France Is chiefly due ( a the want
of harmony among their nanies.
Just now the Bonapartlst-i who
form by all odds the most formidr
able opposition to Republicanism
are divided into two hostile fac
tions and the consequence is the Re
publicans have succeeded in elect
ing their new members of the Nat-
\tral Assembly.
"WHAT'S in a name , exclaims the
"Washington Chronicle : "Bruno
Tzschuck is the candidate on ihe
Republican ticket in Nebraska for
Secretary of State. It's a good
thing that Republican voters as a
class can read and write , and it's
lucky also that Mr. Tzschuck is run
ning on the right ticket. A Demo
crat with such a name would not
stand a ghost of a chance of being
elected. "
THE Bourbons are trying to paci
fy the numerous friends of Mr.
August "Weis , who was""fcold out"
at the late Bourban county conven
tion , by tendering him the nomina
tion of float representative of the
25th district Mr. "Weis evidently
appreciates this empty compliment
He knows as well as we do that the
election of a Democratic candidate in
that district is decidedly Improbable
if not utterly impossible. Mr.
"Weis is not a fool , and the fulsome
flattery of the Herald , whose editor
was chiefly instrumental in the de
feat of Mr. Weis In the Bourbon
county convention , will hardly de
ceive him into an enthusiastic
epport of a ticket that was con-
oetod by the Miller " "Welneteiu
* " "
A WOED VflTS. THE BEPUBLICAN
COUHTY COHYESTIOH.
The men who are to nominate the
legislative ticket for the Republicans
of Douglas county are now elected.
Upon them devolves a grave respon
sibility , which will require the ex- ,
exercise of prudence and self-
abrogation. Out of the two dozen
candidates who aspire to legislative
positions , only eight can be nomina
ted , and many must necessarily be
disappointed.
The action of the Convention will
determine whether the Republicans
of Douglas county shall march to
triumphant victory on tne 13th of
October or whether they shall meet
with a crushing , ignominious defeat
The magnitude of the issues at stake
now and in the distant future can
hardly be overestimated.
It Is to be regretted , but It Is nev
er theless true that some of the can
didates who are pressing thelr
claims before the convention be
long to that class of unscrupulous
political hacks " who have
long since lost the confi
dence of the people. There
are others who do not possess
the requisite qualifications of legis
lators and who , if elected , would un-
consuioubly become the pliant tools
of corrupt lobbyists and wirepullers.
All such candidates should be
promptly laid on the shelf. The
Republican party cannot afford
to enter the conflict with
men who lack the essen
tials of honesty and capacity. It
would hardly be proper and we do
not think it Is necessary for us to
name the candidates who are either
known for their imbecility or tain
ted by habitual rascality.
In behalf of the Republican party
and in behalf of tbe people of Doug
las county , we implore the members
of the convention to give us a ticket
that every honest Republican can
support
Let us have men whose social
standing , business integrity and po
litical record , will stand the most
searching scrutiny. Let each can
didate be a man who can stand the
crucial test of the corrupting influ
ences which always surround legis
lators.
Quite apart from the United States
Senatorship Interests of great mag
nitude will have to be determined
by the coming legislature , and if
over Douglas needed a strong ana
faithful delegation in the legislature
it will be next winter.
Let us therefore hope that the
Convention will steaaily keep in
view the absolute necessity of nom
inating the very best men that can
be induced to serve. With sucn a
ticket , we can safely predict a Re
publican majority of at least two
hundred and lifty in the county.
ANOTHER ELDOBADO.
Cheyenne is bound to keep up the
gold fever. Now that the existence
of the Black Hill Eldorado has been
brought in question , Buffalo Bill
comes promptly to tbe rescue of the
Cheyenne dealers in miners' outfits
by announcing rich gold discoveries
the the Big Mountains.
The Cheyenne Leader of the 3d
inst contains the following account
of Buffalo Bill's exploits :
W. F. Cody , better known as
Buffalo Bill , and who acted as guide
for \Jol. Mills' expedition iu the
Powder River country , arrived in
Cheyenne on Thursday from j\aw-
lins. He reports that the country
to the south aud east of the Big
Horn Mountains was well scouted
for Indians , but none were found.
He describes that region as
tilled with lovely parks , well
watered and carpeted "ivith
luxuriant grass. As a graz
ing country it cannot be sur
passed. On one of the tributaries of
the Big Horn nver , called Bad
Water Creek , well up towards the
head of the stream , the few miners
along struck gulch diggings that
they reported would pay from § 10 to
$20 a day to the hand. Mr. Cody
says he knows"nothing about mining
himself , and therefore is not compe
tent to express any opinion on the
richness of the new diggings ; but
the miners were quite confident
that they were good. Two of them ,
qatned Son and Harrington , started
back to ihe new mines from Rawlins -
lins , on Thursday , after having out
fitted themselves for a more thor
ough prospecting of the new mining
camp.
Mr. Cody says the new mines are
about sixty miles mest of northt
from independence Rkj and are
easy of access from that poin J.
The Powder river valley is a fine
country as far as explored plenty
of timber , rjoh ojl , but its bottom
land overflows. It wlii be a fine
stock raising country.
We know that Conger , and
Munn , and Chadduck cannot fail to
bo strong with the people whom
they have have lived among so long ,
and we have no question that the
rest of the candidates are of the
sami ) character. .Let the Democra
cy of Otoe raljy to that ticket with
every determination to elect it , aud
the victory will bo already theirs.
HearltL
What a defective memory the
Herald has , to be sure. Was not
Doctor Conger on the Herald's
black list , for voting against But
ler's impeachment ? And was not
Munn denounced by the Herald an
a political traitor , for selling out in
the Senatorial contest four years
ago ? If the rest'of the Democratic
candidates are of the same charac
ter , they must be a handsome brace
of political chickens
No sooner had Mr. August Weiu
been nominated thau the Bourbon
campaign < x mmittee levied a con
tribution of fifty dollurson him. Mr.
Weis came dowivand fifty dollars
more have gone where they will do
him the least good.

GENERAL ROBERTS.
What They Think of Him in His
Native State.
Tbe Republicans of Nebraska have
nominated for the second time as
their candidate for Attorney General
Mr George H. Roberts , a gentleman
of great a ility , and an orator who
has few superiors in the passion and
grace of his eloquence. Belonging
to one of the oldest and most re
spectable families of this city , Mr.
Roberts at the breaking out of the
war volunteered aud served in va
rious positions with great credit.
Subsequently he cast his lot with
the fortunes of the growing west ,
where he has by industry and ca
pacity become one of th-i leading
men of that section. Philadelphia
North American , ScjJt. 2Ath.
We see by the Nebraska papers
that Mr. George H. Koberts has
been renomlnated by the Republi
cans of that State for the position of
Attorney General. Mr. Roberts is
a son of Mr. George H. Roberts , of
this city , one of our oldest and most
esteemed merchants. Since his res
idence in Nebraska ho has attained
an honorable eminence for a man
of his years. He was one of the
first of our younc men to volunteer
In defence of the Union at the out
break of the war , and saw his first
service in the riots of. tne 19th of
April in the city of Baltimore. He
returned with his regiment , the
26th Pennsylvania Infantry , and
was shortly afterwards promoted to
General Hooker's sU-Jf. * His admin
istration of the Attorney General
ship has been highl- acceptable ,
ana his re-election , notwithstand

is certain. Forncy'ts Fr48 , Septem-

Fort Sumter Survivors.
[ " 'onfederatc" In harlcston News ]
I have twice seen In your paper
lately the statement , taken from
Northern papers , that Generals Ab-
ner Doubleday and Truman Sey
mour are the only survivors of the
officers of Major Anderson's com
mand in the bombardment and fail
of Fort Sumter , in April , 1861.
This Is a mistake. There are two
others. Major Generals Jefferson C.
Davis and Samuel C. Crawford.
General Davjsva a lieutenant at
that lime. He rose to the command
of a corps in Sherman's army , and
is remembered by many of our old
soldiers who fell into bin hands for
his kindness to them as prisopprs. .
General Crawford was an assistant-
surgeon in the army , and happened
to be stationed at Ft Mouitrieatthe
time. He went with Maj. Anderson
to Forf Sumter , and served the guns
with the rest of the garrison against
us. After the fall of Sumter he ob
tained a commission in the line , and
also rose to the rank cf Major Gen
eral , and is now , from wounds , on
the retired list as such. He is at
present preparing a history ot the
occupation and bombardment efFort
Fort Sumter , to collect material for
which he has lately visited our city.
We see him now spoken of for the
office of "Lieutenant Governor.
We got some hard knocks from
those gentlemen , but owe them no
unkindness therefor. They took
theirside we ours. We are a little
pleased to show them that old Con
federates recollect their services
when their own people seem to have
torgotten them.
The Modoo War.
Gov. Grover , of Oregon , in his (
message to the Legislature of that
State , gives briefly the history of
the Modoc troubled , he says ; "It
is befitting tnat I take this occasion
thus publicly to acknowledge , on be
half of tbe State of Oregon , the dis
tinguished services of Brevet Major
General Jeff ei son C. Davis , of the
army of the United States , for his
brilliant and decisive conduct in
closing the Modoc Indian war. To
General Frank Wheaton , and the
officers who served under him , our
acknowledgements are due for their
gallant and soldierly services from
the first , and for then : generous con
duct to ward the Oregon volunteers.
A resolution of thanks would
not be inappropriate in the
premises as the peace of our entire
eastern frontier was involved in the
success of the Modoo campaigns.
As to the Modoc outlaws who com
mitted the massacres of the 29th and
30th of November , 1872 , and who
now stand indicted for murder in
Jackson county , they were taken
out of the jurisdiction of this State
by force , under the direct order of
the President of the United States.
They are now fugitives from the
justice of this State. As soon as the
unlawful detention ceases , they are
liable to be returned on the requisi
tion of the Governor of Oregon , and
to be submitted co trial and punish
ment according to law. "
