The anti-Grant victory at j

Butib vtas-notting to brag over , if the
f the peopleand not the schemes
cf tha polsticians , are to ba regarded
Grantc rried the popular vote of the
city by a considerable majority , His
majority in two wards is from 80 to
145 , respectively. In the other wards
he ran behind just ft few votes in
each.A "dozen votes transferred
from Lie * majority in the two
wards would have secured tlie
city and county. As it was , there ws
A very strong desire among the
genuine Blaine "men in the city to
make a fair division of the delegates ,
because tley saw that the future
humony of the italwart straight re
publicans -would be better promoted
thereby , ai the majority of them wore
evidently for Grant. But the straight
Blaine men , like Mr. Kimball , Jo.
Millard , Senator Goutant , Gen.
Oowin , and the element they repres
ented , had baen overreached by the
Bosewater bummers.
* * * * * *
In making up the primary Blaine
tickotii , the genuine Blaine men con
sulted with Rose water , and allowed
him a part of tha candidates for the
county convention. In every case
they were swindled by that able little
ward bummer. He took the tickets
toprintand substituted for the names
put on by the simon pare Blaine men
thoie-of his own creatures. This
chaiaMeristic trick was not diecovorcd
tillthe - polls opened , and it was coo
lite to get out new tickets , and even
if it were not , the treachery of the
Rote water outfit would have defeated
them at the polls. So they very
weakly , as The Journal thinks , sub
mitted to .the swindle and worked for
the fraudulent tickets in each ward
lor the good of the cause. * * *
This explains the apparent singularity
of a convention , two to ono for Blaine
oitensibly , taking seven hears to elect
a ticket [ Lincoln Journal.
The obvious object of the Lincoln
Journal in giving publicity to this
tissue -falsehoods is to mislead re
publicans in Lancaster and other
counties of the southwest into support
ing the Grant boomers at the impend
ing primaries. As usual , when ho
write * on Douglas county politics ,
the editor cf the Journal
draws upon his fertile imagination
HeBtarl * but by aeserting that Gran
carried , the popular vote of Douglas
county. Now it la An indisputable fac
that there wasn't a ticket headed t
Grant in any ward or precinct during
the late primaries. Paul Van
dervoorr , head capper for th
Grant .boon , was running on ,
ticket in" the Firet ward that was rep
reiented u being for Washburnc. In
tha Third , the only ward where Gran
had "any strength , the Grant ticke
WM - aerelyheaded "Republican
Ticket. " In the Fourth ward th
Grant men were running what the ;
called an unpledged ticket , and in the
Fifth both contesting factions claimed
to b * for Blaine.
In every ward in Omaha the tickets
tnt carried tha dsy were either
labelled for Blsina or "against the
third term. " The statement that the
limotf pure Blaine men were 'first sold
out' ' by Bosewater and then bulldozec
into supporting his ticket is a lie.
TheKISOB _ pure Blaine

Blaine men , whose defea jlr. Gere
bemoans , wereTao anxious io 'carrj
Douglas counfy for Blaine , why didn't
they show their hand for Blaine inttc
convention ? "Why fltd they make
suoh desperate efforts to adjourn the
convention to prevent the adopticr
of resolutions favoring Blaino.
How can any editor , who makes anj
pretenses to decency or veracity , so
stultify himself as to charge thai
Douglas county did not express a pref
erence for Blaine in the face of the
pnbltshed'proceedings of the conven
tion , which show that tha following
resolution introduced b'y E. Rosewa
ter , was adopted by a large majority :
' Resolved , That James G. Blaine is the
first choice of the republicans 'of Douglas
ounty for president" 1
Why didn't one of Mr. Gere's Si-
mon-puro , extra distilled Blaide men
introduce that resolution ?
If the adoption of this resoluion
by our county convention does not ex-
pro's the wishes of Douglas county re
publicans , wilHhe Journal kindly in
form us how it proposes to ascertain
them ? As to the seven hours' fight
everybody here knows that it 'was
mainly over the reconstruction of the
county central committee.
THE third term organs are now
explsining why General Grant yoted
for James Buchanan. No apology ii
necessary. General Grant is a good
enough republican end the objector *
to his nomination don't propose to ass -
s l his political record. They oppose
his nomination simply because they
believe it would jeopardize the success
of the parly. They don't doubt Gen.
Grant's fidelity to his party and they
don't question his ability to fill the
office. They believe , however , that a
large numbar of republicans would
either take to the woods and refuse to
vote , or worse yet would vote against
him because they regard a third pre
sidential form as the first step toward
a dictatorship.
WE hope our councilmen will no !
delay the proposed extension of the
fire limit beyond the next council
meeting. It is absolutely necessary
that the building of more frame houses
in the business portion of the city be
stopped , as a measure of self-preser
vation , and every moment's delay only
increases the risk of a terrible confla
gration. Omaha has , so far , been very
lucky in escaping wholesale destruc
tion by fire , but wo cannot hope lo.es-
ctpo always. Every frame house built
upon our principal thoroughfares adds
material for the inevitable disaster and
it is a crime against thh community
to permit the further erection of tin
der boxes.
Pfior. WILIXAMS has converted his
Hastings Ntbratkan into a sprightly

meet witn merited recognition by the
business men and citizens of the rail

SENATOR SAUNDERS VINDICAT
ED.
Omtht Evening Xe rs , May { th.
Yesterday afternoon was spent by
the writer in investigating the records
of the Nebraska Relief and Aid society ,
which are in the possession of Hon.
Ezra Millard of this city ; and so far aa
we could judge by somewhat cursory
examination of the record ; , Senator
Altln faundert is evidently guiltless oj
embezzlement or attempted embezzlement
in hi $ connection with that society.
When the association disbanded in
1875 there was , as the books show , a
ba'nncs of something like $500 , which
Mr. Millard informs us was donated
to a western leiritoiy.
There are several reasons why many
people have been misled in this thing.
The firat reason is the condition of the
published legal report , which comes
to an abrupt termination under the
date of January 1 , 1875 , whereas the
society really continued work until
July of that year. This published re
port shows a balance of cash on hand
of $10,980.02. Another reason why
people have been led to suspect crook
edness has bean the utter impotency
of the officers and members
of the association so far as is con
cerned all remembrance of their offi
cial acts. The News has hunted high
and low , and has addressed everybody
that might have known anything about
the association , and that could have
been suspected of truthfulnets ; but
until last week , when we chanced to
find Mr. Ezra Millard at home , we
have never discovered a man who
would or could give us an atom of
definite information in regard to the
history of the Nebraska Relief and
Aid society. A third reason for the
belief of the charge has boon that
while The Nebraska
City Frees was
direct and specific in presenting the
indictment , Senator Saunders hasnev
er directly denied it If a man hat
been as guilty as Cain he could no :
seemingly have confessed his guilt in
his actions more successfully than
hai Senator Saunders. He has
prevaricated , shifted from one
thing to another , authorizsc
two or three of his tools to publicly
deny something with which he hac
not been charged , and has in al !
things acted like a man who was com
pletely bereft of all ability to prove
hia innocence or his complete gnill
from becoming public. For much
of the denunciation and suspicion
which have pursued him Senator
Saunders' most peculiar conduct is
alone responsible.
In the statement * of the liabilities
of the bankrupt firm of Saunders &
Hardinburg , New York , there ia an
item of something like $1200 placed
to the credit of the "grasshopper
fund. " From the best information
wo can obtain , we believe this to have
been money which was paid Into the
New York bank by New York citi
zens for the benefit of our grass
hopper sufferers , and never formally
turned overto the society.VO do not
know wheter or not Senator Saundera
left that money in his bank when it
should have been turned over to tbe
society , or whether or not he has ever
made a total or partial restitution of
it to those who gave ir , or a donation
of ifto those who were to receive it.
The News is brave enough to ack
nowledge that it has done Senator
Saunders wrong in the matter of the
Nebraska Relief and Aid society , and
it is fair enough to do its beat to correct -
rect the false impression to whicbf it !
ias given publicity. And
, yet , we
lave been honest m our belief in his"
fuilt , and wa have not baen hasty or ?
leglectfol in Ihe uce of all the avenues
if investigation which have been open
o us. With The Nebraska City
'Teas , however , roits the reaponsibil-
ky of the specific charge. Let us see
rhat the organ of Mr. J. Sterling
forton tdl | hare to say about it.
" cbnkllcff on Grant
jWhen'Gen. Grant war..preiident he
was always the obedient servant of tbe
1ghand ? mighty Roscoe Conkling in
all that'concerned the intemts or am
bition of that great potentate. Conk-
ling was the absolute master , of the
p'ltrpnage'of the state of New'York.
Tha custom house , the revenue ser-
-rice , the postofficej , the courts , all
the federal offices were garrisoned by
an army of his faithful retainers ,
moat of whom have been suffered to
remam under the tolerant administra
tion of President Hayes. His will
waslaw. He waslord and master of the
party organization. The re-election of
Gffant"wouia ° 'bT'for HnVTaf 'crushing
personal jictory over < all the reform
elements which have been arrayed
against the unsavory rula of his
machine. Hence his attempt to set
up the worship of Grant as a state
religion.The.high priest of the
temple sniffs the incense offered to
the idol and drinks the libations of
blood which are poured upon his altar.
Sir. Conkling in a recent interview
enlarges beautifully on the popolar
strength jvhich Grant has developed.
Without a literary bureau and with
out organized effort , we are told , he
has thus far led all other candidates.
Whatli the truth of the matter ?
The truth is that since the New
York and Pennsylvania conventions ,
hurriedly ci.lled in midwinter to take
advantage of the artificial enthusiasm
for Grant excited by his theatrical
progress through the country , not a
single northern state , not a single
state which can cast a republican vote
for president , has declared for Grant.
Even in Pennsylvania and in New
York it required all ihe power of the
machines , controlled by Gankling and
Cameron , to secure a majority for
Grant , while a powerful minority are
in open revolt against the rule they
attempted to impose. But since this
snap judgment was taken upou a
transient popular effervescence , every
northern state which 'has held con
ventions has declared against the
third term , and among those which
are yet to speak there is not one in
which Grant can hope to get more
than a scattering vote here and there
except in his own State of Illinois.
But even in Illinois his friends are
engaged in a desperate struggle to get
an expression trom the state conven
tion favorable to Grant , with no hope
of securing anything more than a
divided delegation. Where then is
that spontaneous popular strength
which Conkling tells us has been ex
hibited by Grant ? It is visible no
where in the north. No one can
doubt that if the New York and Penn
sylvania conventions had not been
precipitated with indecent haste , that
If they were to be held at any time
before the meeting of the national
convention and the deliberate voice
of the republicans of those states was
allowed free expression , it would
bo overwhelmingly against the
nomination of Grant. But at
any rate , outside of those states
all the northern states , all the
republican states , are practically a unit
against Grant. Such popular strength
as he has comes from southern statoi
which cannot cast an electoral vote for
a republican candidate for president.
It is the impotent , ignorant and su
perstitions negro constituencies of the
south , which alone sustain Conkling
and Cameron and their servile ma
chines in the demand for a third term
Wherever the power and the intelli
gence of-the republican pirty lie ? , it
is arrayed in a nearly solid phalanx
against the candidacy of the ex-presi
dent. Mr. Conkling is strong and
picturesque in the boldness of his as
sertions. But above hia assertions
towers the ptent fact that the repub
lican parto of the north is manifestly
opposed to a third term and that outside -
side the machine delegations from
New York nd Pennsylvania , he will
have far fewer supporter * than any
candidate who has been prominently
named.
Coukling's further assertion that
nothing has been done for Grant and
that no organized effort has been made
to secure his nomination , is too ab
surd. What if he has no literary
bureau to distribute documents aud
circulars a very imbecile perform
ance by the way for any candidate ?
He has what is a thousand times more
effective in securing political results.
He has the senatorial cabal the dis
pensers of patronage at his back , with
all the tens of thousands of their of-
ficoholdtng retainers whom they ap
pointed when Grant was president ,
and who know no will but that of their
senatorial masters. Though Grant is
out of office , the Grant machine is
still in full and effective operation ,
though less demonstrative than before
the civil service order was issued.
No organized effort for Grant ! What
was Sir. Conkling doing in the New
York convention 1 What was Camer
on doing at Harrisburg } No organ
ized effort when these men exerted
their utmost power to secure delega
( ions for Grant , and werelso afraid oi
that spontaneous republican senti
ment which they pretend is so strong
for' Grant , that they resorted to the
desperate expedient of trjing to over
ride the minority 'by a unit rule am
force the district delegates gains
their will to vote for Grant ? No or
ganized effort when , ever since Grant
landed on the coast of California , he
has been sent all over the country ant
kept overywhera on exhibition as the
centre of popular demonstrations in
tended , ss it now turns out , for politi
cal effect ? Was there no organizac
effort in his recent journeys through
out the south ? None in his coming
bark to Illinois just in time to in
fiuence the county covention ? None
in the recent visit of Logan to the
state , and in the organized demon
stration in his behalf at Chicago ?
None in the tremendous exertions
which are being made by hia friend * in
Illinois to secure delegations favor
able to him ? No organized effort in
deed ! There was never a republican
candidate for a presidential nomina
tlon in whose behalf there has been
for yeara such elaborate , studied am
imposing preparation. If his three
years' round of ovations through
Europe .and Asia were not designec
by himself for political effect , they
were diligently turned to a politica
purpose by his friends at home.- Since
his return to America all Jus move
ments have been carefully planned to
stimulate popular demonstrations
which could be turned to the advant
age of the movement to nominate him
at Chicago. And the men who con
trived this theatrical campaign so skill
fully that the newspapers have been
kept day ( after day , for the seven
months since his return , and , indeed ,
for three years before , in a constsnl
shower bath of Grant receptions , of
laudatory speeches and popular
orations in honor of Grant , are now
coolly bragging of their abstemious
ness in advertising Grant in contrast
with the effusiveness of tbe obscure
and solitary literary bureaus at Wash
ington which send out their feeble lit
tle rivolota of trash in praise of Blaine
and Sherman. They have fixed it so
that the entire machinery of the As
sociated Press has beer ; constantly
employed for months and years in the
service of the Grant boom , and now
they hive the impudence to tell us
that not even a clerkis employed to

From time to time for many years
> aat the suggestion has been thrown
ant by German writers , who have been
inly impressed with the astonishing
progress made during the present
; entury by the colonies of England ,
he Germany should at length attempt
o found colonies of her own. Why ,
t has frequently been asked , should
England , France , Spain , Holland ,
yen little Denmark , possess across
he MM vast territories in which their
urplus population can find a home ,
nd to which they can transplant their

a ns , who are one of the greatest
olonizing races , have no colony to go
to where German is spoken , and th
habits and customs , -the laws and th
government , are all of * n" unmixei
German character ? . Why should th
millions of immigrants from Father

-swallowed up in foreign1 races ? Fo
such assuredly is and has always been
their fate in America , in the numer
ous British colonies , as well as in thi
colonies of France and Spain. Untj
within the past two or three year
questions like these , often as .they
were- mooted , never led to any prao
tical result. Germans still continuec
to immigrate in their tens of thou

thousands yearly. They fltil
continued to supply a lanje

particularly to the United States , anc
they still continued t 0R , sooner
of later , their fate of forgetting thai :

being absorbed in the dominant race
The reason of this state of things was
always set down to the fact that a
home Germany itself was not united
that there was'no German fleet ; tha
until the Biamarckian era neither
Germany nor any state in Germany
was able , either by help of materia
naval resources or by the respect tbe
German came inspired , to take pos
session of and to defend any of the
unoccupied of savage territories of tbe
earth such as might be adapted to re
ceive a German colony. The idea o :
German colonies vas , In fact , re
signed as a hopeless dream. Since
the unification of Germany under the
present emperor a change has been
rapidly coming ojer the popular
notions as to the practicability oi
founding German colonies abroad.
Schemes of this description are now
no longer looked upon as utterly im
practicable. Within the past two or
three years the subject has been con
stantly agitated in Germany. A cen
tral society haa been in existence ir
Berlin for some time , whose special
object it is to bring the question to t
practical issue. A pamphlet publiahec
last year by Dr. Fabri , a Rhenish ec
clesiastic , advocatitg the foundation
of German colonies , rapidly r
through several editions and produced
a deep impression on the nation. Sev
eral debates have been held in the
Germantparliamenf , the general tone
of which was wholly favorable to the
policy of the Gorman government
availing itself of any , or of the earliest ,
opportunity of planting the German
flag on any territory adapted to be
come a German colony.
FABEWELL.
Om&ha Repul lican , Oct. 3d , 1870.
We , congratulata the republican
party of this state upon the disappear
ance of E. Bosowater from the sur
face of Nebraska politics. For sev
eral years past no convention has been
held with pat his appearance upon the
scene brim-full of bitter malice and
noisy violence , and fertile in all the
designs of the political demagogue
and shyster. His power for evil has
proved less and less each year , exactly
in proportion as hia pure cussedness
becomes known and appreciated by
the people , until at last a state conven
tion has been hold in which and at
which he is entirely ignored and for
gotten. He disappears now as a fac
tor in Nebraska politics.
l-HE CORPSE RETURNS.
Omiha Republican , Ifay 2 , 1890.
A solid Rosewater delegation to
Columbus waathe result of yesterday's
Douglas county republican convention
and ther meaning of that result is
" and " the Rosewater
"powerand prestige" for -
water outfit in the city and county.
Tha result is a perfectly legitimateout-
come of a blindness and folly which
refused to recognize the predominat
ing local issue in the present canvass.
The result is what we have predicted ;
aud wo trust that the republican !
with whom we have steadily and
consistently acted , and who by their
insane divisions have directly contri
buted to it , are satisfied with it better
than we are.Ve frankly confess that
we regard it as the deadest "give
away" that has occurred within our ob
servation in Douglas county politics.
As respects several of the gentlemen
personally , who compose the delega
tion to Columbus , we have naught to
say against them. They are good re
publicans , and will do Douglas county
republicanism no discredit. As
respects the complexion of tha dele
gation , as regards the presidential
question , we have no complaint to
make. Mr. Blaine is fairly entitled
to their united voice and vote. Mr |
Rosewater is entitled to whatever
credit and profit may incidentally ac
crue from his personal and partisan
victory. The republicans who
have successfully fought him
for the past three or four years and
they comprise the most of the patty
here have dellberatly throwa away
the solid advantges which they had id-
cured by united action hitherto. And
now let us see what they propose to
do about it , iutheetata fall campaign ,
of which this has been but the prelimin
ary skirmish. If they don't see the
milk in the cocoanut to-day , they will
be pretty certain to discover it between
this date and the 1st of November.
Tilden at Home and at Work.
Joe Howard in Philadelphia Time * .
That Mr. Tilden himself is in a dis
turbed condition of mind there is am
ple evidence. He confines himself
now almost constantly to his home , on
the parlor floor of which , in the rear ,
is an enormous library , utilized by a
corps of clerks , secretaries and at
tendants , who ire constantly examin
ing books , marking papers , filing doc
uments and sending packages of this ,
that and the other to various
sections of the country. I doubt
if there is a detective bureau in the
world more admirably organized than
that which , cantering ill Qramercy
park , conveys to the interested cipher
er all manner of secrets and all kinds
of information. While it ia utterly
impossible for the average visitor to
grain access to Mr. Til den's presence ,
he is ceaselessly occupied in entertain
ing , listening to , advising with and
instructing his friends and those in
his employ. No busier man lives
than he , and how his attenuated
physique sustains the labor imposed
upon it by his restlcH energetic
and suggestive brain is one of the
marvels pf the day. That he ia very
seriously affected by the disclosures
made since the adjournment of the
convention , particularly by the
speech of Senator Jacobs , is very evi
dent. Coopes and carriages rattle to
his door , a stream of eager and inter
ested parties constantly tug at his bell ,
the patience and slippers of his ser
vants are well ngh exhausted , and
every evidence of a brisk and desper
ate campaign is afforded to the neigh
bors , or to such as care to put a watch
upon his movements.
It is well known that relationship ex-
Ms between pUes , constipation , kidney
dueases and fiver trouble * In Kidney
Wort we have a remedy that act on th
general system and restores health by gn-
"yajdinjr nature's interns' process.

Greatest Discovery of tbe Age.
Wonderful discoveries In tbi world hare been mad *
Amjing other things where Santa Clans stayed ,
Children oft ask If he makes ? oods or not ,
If really ? lives in a mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pol *
And suddenly dropped Into what seemed like ahol *
Where wonder of wpndera they found a now land ,
While fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ocrs , with more
beantlful green.
And far brighter skies than ever were seen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of ezquiiite fragrance were grow
ing around.
Hot long were they left to wonder in doubt ,
A being soon came the/ had beard much about ,
TwasSanta Clans' self and th Isibey all say ,
Be leoked like the picture * ese every day.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
Twas a team * f grasshoppers Instead ot reindeer ,
He rode in a shell instead of a ateizh.
But he took them on boud and drove them
away.
He showed them an over hia wonderful realm ,
And factories rnnklnc goods for women and men.
Furriers were working on haU great and small.
To Bunco's ther said they were sending them alL
Kris KIngle , the Glove Maker , told them at once ,

Santa Clans then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
