THE SCAHDINAVIAKS.
SOME of our Scandinavian friends
are grumbling because the Republi
cans failed to put a candidate of
their nationality upon the legisla
tive ticket Now we may as well
tell tbe candid truth about this mat
ter. The Scandinavians are , as is
well known , divided into three dis
tinct nationalities the Swedes , the
Danes and Norwegians.
It was well understood by Repub
licans who investigated the claims
"of the various Scandinavian candi
dates that the three nationalities
could not l > < ' t induced to unite upon
any particular candidate. Further
more the friends of each Scandinav
ian candidate threatened to bolt the
ticket if their opponent should be
the nominee.
It was openly asserted that the
Danes would not support a Swede ,
and the Swedes would not support a
Dane. Hence it was thought pru
dent to nominate neither. This
action was by no means prompted
by a desire to ignore the claims of
Scandinavians on the Republican
party.
On the contrary , it was simply a
measure calculated to harmonize
the elements within that nationali
ty. Four years ago when John Ah-
mausou was nominated by the Re
publicans , it was done because all
Scandinavians had selected him as
their representative.
Had any particular candidate
been si milarly supported theRepubli-
can convention would now cheerfully
have confirmed -the selection. We
make this explanation in" order to
counteract the efforts of certain
Democrats to alienate the Scandi
navians from the party which , in
.Nebraska as well as in every other
part of the Union , has been sus
tained by Scandinavians with un
faltering fidelity.
IF the Bourbon organ will renew
and keep up its malignant abuse of
John Baumer , the BEE will jagree
not to say another word in his fa
vor.
HAVING long since completely
played out in his own county the
Bourbon acrobat , whose other name
is Morton , has for the past two
months been hatching Senatorial
eggs in Omaha.
REPUBLICANS close up your ranks ,
stop wrangling and grumbling over
disappointed candidates , and ad
vance upon the enemy's lines with
the determination to win a com
plete and overwhelming victory !
ANDREW ( MOSES ) JOHNSON has
made another speech to the Tennes-
seeans , to explain his position as a
consistent Bourbon. He did not , of
course , forget to mention the
fact that he had occupied every
position from alderman to &c.
REPUBLICANS should remember
that nobody can vote unless he is
1
registered. Only one day remains
for this important duty , and unless 1E 1t
Republicahs attend to It , the success t
of the ticket will bo seriously imper- E
fled. ;

ieotrforlt to perform when com. dree

aked conspiracy and connived at city
asou. For tills it lost prestige at closi
North. The Republican party bale
freedom and human rights as lion
basis came into existence and prof
w to grand proportions. The fectc
mocratic ascendancy was ended mer
the election of 1860 , aud tbe bajjj
baffled ami enraged Democratic
slaveholders of the South went into
rebellion. The last of the line of
DemocraticAdministratioiisaflbrded
the rebels every facility for-carrying
out their nefarious ptensX The
closing year of the twenty years ot
Democratic Administration 61\Na-
tional affairs saw a Democratfatfe-
bellion at the South ; Democratic
treason , or at the best imbecility at
the National Capital , and open or
covert sympathy with thelrebels
among the acknowledged Demo
cratic party leaders at the North.
The Southern secessionists were en
couraged to take their position as
rebels in arms by the more' than
half expressed synrpathy o the
Northern Democratic leaders , by
the connivance of the Democratic
National Administration , and
by the belief that in ease of an at
tempt by the incoming liepublican
administration to suppress the rebel
lion a Democratic "lire in the rear"
would put a stop to ic. The fact
that the Democratic masses were
more patriotic than the Democratic
politicians and joined in , the great
uprising of the Northern people in
defence of the Union rendered such
aid impossible. But-the fact re
mains lhat but for the connivance
of the Democrats in power and the
expected sympathy aiid assistance of
the Democratic party , the South
would probably not have atttcmpted
rebellion in 1801 , or if it had , the
rebellion assuredly would not have
made the headway it did.
In 1863 the Democracy of Ohio'
nominated VaUaridigham for Gov
ernor on an anti-war platform , the
citizens of Ohio by tens of thousands
being then at the front battling for
the existence of the Union. 'Gene
ral Noyes , who was then with. , the
other Ohio boys at the front , told in
his speech the other evening the
effect of that nomination upon-the-
rebels. He said when the news
reached the lines , the rebels would
leap up and shout to the advanced
lines of the Ohio soldiers , "You
Yanks had better go home ; you
will have enough to do when Val-
landigham is elected. " They knew
very well what a Democratic suc
cess in the North meant , and they
rejoiced in anticipation.
In the same summer the draft
riots of New York broke out , inci
ted by Democratic harangues and
Democratic machinations. Again
the southern rebels rejoiced and
were encouraged to fresh exertions
by these Democratic demonstra
tions.
In 1804 the National Democratic
Convention met at Chicago and in
the second resolution of its platform
declared the war a failure , denounc
ed the .Republican admlnislration
for defending the Union by force of
arms , and demanded an immediate
effort for the cessation of hostilities
and this at the time of one of the
most ciitical periods in the war.
The Southern llebels would have
felt more encouragement in this de
claration by the Northern Democrat
ic party that the war was a failure ,
but for the fact that at the same in-
stantSherman at Atlanta , and Far-
ragut i at Mobile , had convinced
them 1 to the contrary. However ,
1i the 1I I purpose of the Democracy re
mained i , and but for the malapropos
performance ] of Sherman and Farra-
gut I the scheme would have worked ,
and Ii the rebels at the South would
have 1 been cheered and strengthened
by 1 the efforts of the Democrats. at
the 1 North.
What was true before the war and
during 1t the war has been equally
true t since the war. A Democratic
success , or even the possibility of it ,
invariably encourages the old rebel
lious spirit to manifest itself. "NVhen
President Johnson broke with Con
gress and the Republican arm was
thus temporarily paralyzed the
South was for a time the scene of
outrage and violence , in which the
old rebellious spirit was manifested
in all its virulence. At last the
strong arm of the Republican Na
tional Administration interposed
for the protection of the white Re
publicans and the unfortunate ne
groes , whose fate had become even
worse than during the existence of
slavery , " and there was peace for a
time.
Last year the Democratic party
achieved partial successes in some
of the Northern States and , flushed
with unwonted victory , proclaimed
the commencement of a Democratic
reaction. The lawless element of
the South , which answers to the
Democratic fluctuations of fortune
lu the North as quickly as the
mercury to the fluctuations of the
n-eather , immediately came again
to the surface , the White Leagues
rose where the Ku Klux had sunk ,
ind the work of proscription and
uurder was resumed. So confident
sverc tney of continued Democratic
iuccesses at the North , and there-
ere Immunity from future trouble
rom that quarter , that the lawless
dements of the South became incau-
lous and rushed into armed rebel-
ion ( before the elections , instead of

What Nebraska Can Do.
( Correspondent of the EKE. )
NORTH BEND , Oct. 7.
93 \ BUSHELS PER ACRE.
Probably owing to some miscal
culation , which all serial naviga
tion is subject to , the grasshoppers
left many fields of corn around here
that will yield variously from 12 to
30 bushels per acre ; and though
wheat and oatsaro a light crop , Mr.
Smith , three miles north of town ,
threshed 271 bushels of oats from
three acres , being 93J bushels per
acre. Which proves ono of two
things , either the wonderful pro
ductiveness of the soil , or that Mr.
Smith is not one of the common
Smiths.
RELIEF COMMITTEES.
Dodge county has relief commit
tees in each precinct , and though
her best citizens agree that corn
is only one fourth a crop , intends
to bear her own burdens and assist
in the relief of friends farther west.
The amount of fall plowing bids
fair for energetic operation next
spring. Though some are
really needy , and a few pro
fessional grumblers will go east this
winter. For the benefit of the
professional we give the figures of
Mr. Palmer , of North Bend , con
cerning his wheat crop which he
averages at 10 bushels per acre. Mr.
Palmer's farm is six miles north of
the table land ; he hires all his work
done and being a man of excellent
ability , undoubted veracity ; his fig
ures won't lie. He pays $3 50 per
day for team work.

Mr. Palmer's neighbors , find it
profitable to do his -work at the
above figures , and he orapy"other
farmer doing his own work , receives
S2.G2J per day for himself arid
team ; gets more per bushel for
what he has sown than for what hV
markets ; gets $1.65 per acre for
harvesting , which is fifteen cents
per acre more than some headers
have charged in Cass county for
putting into stacks ; gets paid for
marketing ; and has the blessed
privilege all day long of grumbling
to his heart's content , advocating
inflation , or wearing a white hat
while the others are threshing.
All of this at ten bushels to Ihe
acre , and eighty cents per bushel.
This is the dark side of the picture ;
but there are those who havu twice
the yield and less expense than Mr.
Palmer , his farm being new , and
having to depend upon transient
labor , with many other disadvan
tages not incidental to ordinary
farming.
There are many other farmers
who can. give accurate figures on
this subject and , if you choose , show
a brighter side of the picture after a
while. Yours , &c. ,
