Is Paul , ton , Jamontc the apostles ? IT was a jug-handle affair , with the handle in ( ho hands of Thurston and Hanlon. IT i * one thing to cobble a conven tion by bulldozing , bribery ami fraud , but it is another thirg to elect a ticket p.it up by KCC'I a convention. Mir. HAH * UCOM , editor of the Oma ha Foil , his discovered by this time in what esteem German-American re publicans are held by the U. P. ma nipulators cf republican conventions. How an republicans of Douglas coun ty like the T. P. dose which they toot si pasiKJ Dors it sit well on their Btoraa lu ? Or , like Bnnquo's ghost , does it refute to "down" at their bid ding. HA VIM. lugged the convention by barring out contesting delegates from four wards through purchased prrx ies and bribed members of the central l\ committee , U. P. Thurston completed film high-handed proceeding by crr.m- mlpg a ticket made up in his office down the throat of the convention. And this is hat the U. I * Oigan calls the voice of the republican party of Douglas county. PAUL YAMIKRVOOKT is a fair rep resentative of the element within the republican party of this county that was duninaut in the convention held in this city last Saturday. Sir. Van- tlcrvoort is not a U. P. employe , but has for years acted in : : with the corporation cappers , not only it pclttic.il matters but in all ques tions where the company interests were < 11 one Bide and the people on the other. On hat Saturday , Mr YfttidorvOLrt , for the first time ninco h a advent in this city , made public confession cf the disreputable conduct of his faction in the primaries. Not 0'ily oid Vandervoort admit that the primaries under the old method wore ctirrupt and disgraceful ; but he stated that he had , on various occasions vc- < eJ dcmccra's at republican primaries "to fiirhl fire with lire. " Having made this f ublic .crnfcssion , Mr. Vandtr voort declared himself henceforth in ftvorof S31HO method of purging the primaries. Corninc immediately after the organizjd assault upon the prima- | rles by the U. P. cohorts , this slart- 'lig conftasiou is highly gratifying to [ those who have made such an [ utmost and vigorous effort tel | l > at a stop to the damorali- [ zing system heretofore prevailing [ in this county. The question that I naturally presents itself is , Was Van- rdorvoort sincere in his contrition , land if so , why did ho and iris atsoci- lutes make such desperate and dishon- lomlilo opposition to the first effort | maio ! in Omaha to purge the prima ries ? Why did they take forcible b"oa of the polls , drive aw.i } uul clerks of election , properly lippulnted , and terrorize voters who to the polls to crdoreo registra- Repentance is always in order intil a man is dead , but it strikes us lhat Mr. Vandcrvoort's open confcs- ou'd have come before repub- canism wa throttled , grggod and by the minions of a monopoly lhat has no other use for the rcpub- cin party tlmn to aid it in laintiining control over our state lovcrnment and our representation [ li state and naticiul Icdaktures. i Tuis , from Mr. Sitncral at ycfter- ay's committee meeting was decided- funny : " 3I- .

Tha very next day , however , Mr. Rjrd went back on himself by declin- iog to act as supervisor of election in his own ward , although he had per sonally corrected the registration lut for that vard. It was mainly owing lo Mr. Reed's bick-down that no regular registered P ill was opened in the Sixth ward , where those in favor of registration s veiled the vote of those opposed tore- form. Mr. SimeraljOn the otherhand , fcn not only favored registration by his vote , but labored faithfully from be- g'nning ' to end to carry out that re- 5'fc fonr > . He could neither ba discouraged fca aged : by miUgnant abuse whipped in bsi threats or frightened into tame submission by mob rule. Consistent sifi from first to last he refused to give his fis sanction : to Mr. Boed's unconditional surrender to the U. P. garg. If this 51o oonsli'u'cs ' SimeraVs unpardonable offense , all impartial republicans will condone it. AN IMPORTANT EVENT. The completion of the railway bridce acres the Missouri river st Plaits- mouth marks another epoch in the hiftory cf this commonwealth. Ten years rgo tro construction of a bridge across the Missouri river was regarded as nn 0' gineering problem. Eminent hydraulic engineers had expressed "rave doubts as to the feasibility of giiig t'e treacherous Missouri. The Union Pacific bridge etOmaha , constructed under the supervision of Mr. Sickles , one of the most skillful hydraulic engineers in this country , solved the problem. For seven yeais the Union Pacific bridge has monopo lized the railway traffic across the cniinent. . Daring that period this bridge has earned more than three t'.uicj the actual cost , and the ex tortionate toll exacted by its managers has been an embargo on tne com mercial growth of this city , and has served as a bitrier to the entrance o" the Iowa and Missouri railroads into ec'ive competition for the pat- tronage of Omaha on Kebraska soil The completion of the bridge at Plattsmouth will bo hailed with su preme satisfaction , not only by tl o citizens of Omaha , but by the people of the whole state and the entiie trins-Missouri country. While wo have [ no assurance &i yet that the msnsgcrs of the C. . B. & Q. propose to use it for making direct connection bstwcen Omaha and iha east and 1 sinth , wo do not doubt that at no dis- tmt day the Plattsmouth bridge-will 1 break the embargo and. give Omaha unbroken connection with Chicago aid St. Louis. When that day comes the onerous bridge toll now exacted at O.naha will bo reduced , even if the nationhl legislature docs not compel such a reduction before that time. But even if no re duction is mode by either of the railways in bridge toll , our merchants and manufacturers will derive incal culable benefits from the Plattamoulh bridge , by vioro prompt service in t&e delivery of goods and better accommo dations by the jarties who control the rival bridges. HANDS UP. If an unarmed traveler on the pubs - s highway suddenly finds himself surrounded by a gang of highway men , who politely invite him to choose between parting with his purse cr beirg purforatcd with bullets , the discreet wayfarer promptly decides to hand over his wallet. When the political desperadoes and highwaymen of the U. P. monopoly bulldozed and bribed their way into the county committee , and after gain ing over the majority deliberately voted themselves forty two seals in the convention without submitting ! their credentials , it was most prudent oni discreet to leave them in undis puted control of the convention. It would have been madness to re sist such desperadoes and thooutaomo fully justifies the course pursued by the friends of reform. Having pack ed tha convention with blacklegs , cap- [ pora and retainers of the U P. , Thure- ton forced his printed ticket through under the monopoly whip and dictated a dsIegUion to the elate con vention witnout consulting his follow ers. Tr > U atbitrary action very nat urally aroused much indignation , but protests were met with jeers , remon strances kwero defiantly disregarded aud the convention adjourned for sev en weeks. Oa the 20th of October , juat twelve days before the election , the convention will reassemble to go through the farce of nominating : i legislative ticket which has already been agreed on by the U. P. highwaymen. Meantime the democratic primaries will be sub merged by monopoly hirelings , and trie democratic convention , packed with U , r. cappers , will nominate a legislative ticket made up of the brass-collared of which the crew , re publican candidates form a counter part. And then the volew of bath parties will bo com manded to throw up their hands and take their choice between the U. P. republicin ticket and the U. P. democratic ticket. This is ex actly the programme that will be car ried out to the letter. Will the vot- era of this county tI tamely allow ihem- selves to bs corraled by these political road agents , cr wilt they tally forth and give them battlt ? The Decisive Tear. The _ Pittsburgher Freio Presse : writes in relation to the remit of 'the election in November as follows : ' -The coming contest uill-bring the decision. If the democracy is defeated , it has fought its last battle. It cannot keep ! together any longer the different fac tions which so far it has united under its banners. With tha defeat of Win- ? field Scott Hancock the democa'ic : party will disappear. JYe ? ten ct omen Then the republican party has finally gained the purpose for which it was founded , i. e. , the destruction cf the democratic party. It is then free fromjin adversary , who no alone'ob- stinateljr fought it stop by step , but also constantly endangered the future of the republic and the nation. Then the republican party must and will inaugurate all those reforms which are demanded by the better classes of the people. It then can , trust the leadership into the hands of its purest men , if it does not want to be compelled by the coun try to abdicate i s trutt. If the south should be victorious , then night and darkness will creep over the laud. The cuirdian angal of hununity will sorrowfully hide its faca in mourning. Mexicanizition will take the place of lav , order , and the Union. Bloodj contests between political factiouswill be the order of the day ; the Republic is dishonored , and it will be impos sible to frretell what will be the final destiny ef the Xew World with such. apolitical result. Therefore , let all true patriots stmd once more tojether in this last conflict. It Is a fight for the future ef this by Providence so mush favored land ; for the existence of our homes aud the prospects of our children. A victory for the republi cin par'y is also a victory over the corruption within our own party ranks , over the fixers and political demagogs , to whole dark deeds in the past wo must ascribe the fact that our party does nit possess the self-reliauco of former years. The Legislation of the Year. Chicago Tribune. The report of President "Bristow , reid btfore the American Bar associ- a-i'in , now in session at Saratoga , calls attention to some of the most note worthy changes in statutory l w , on points of general interest , which have been made in the several states and by congress during the latt year. In twenty of the twenty-five states which now hold biennial sessions no legislature has mtt In the last twelve months and so the crop of legislation is sma'ler than usual ; but "granger laws" have been parsed in California and Georgia , and in the latter state a commission has boeu named to fix rates Maine , on the other hand , has made a lnw to uro- vent railroad workmen from striking , so as to stop trains. lu Connecticut , with a view to prevent accidents aris ing from the inability of locomotive engineers and others to distinguish between different siencl lights , a law has been passed requiring employes to be examined to test their exemption from what is believed to be a frequent infirmity of color blindness The ex aminations thus far made , by a com mission of physicians , are unsatisfac tory to tin * reads , and are claimed by them to be unfair. Severa laws against robbing graves have bten enacted in Iowa , Ohio and Maine rvew YorK has a law against sending annoying letters through he mails , which miy probably hava been sug gested by the habit of writing offensive Muua" on p-stal cards. Califor nia and Georgia provide for appointing temporaiy judges to try single causes by consent of parties , as has longbeen the practice in Illinois , without any statute on the subject. California at tacks the ancient dignity of the court seal by authorizing arrests to be made on warrants sent by telegraph , which strikes one as rather a dangerous ex periments in a mattsr of involvii g a man's Lbtsrity. Massachusetts h.u changed her laws of descent , giving a larger share of property to the survi vor of a husband or ife dying intes- tata. Xcw York has made sundry im portant changes in her code of proce dure , whi. li have arouaed a great deal of opposition , but are now generally regarded as improvements on the old one. one.Several Several states hive pissed an'i- tratnp Hws , modeled more or less closely on the one of Xow Hampshire , and differing from each ether chiefly in the length of the term of imprison- mcntawAided in caaa of cotuiction. Wcsteru Massachusetts , where the statejcommisaionurs a year or two ago , by means of detectives , mido such startling discoveries as to the extent and metln d of the tramping system , has , under the opuration of the new law , been almost entirely cleartd of thepeslswhichformerlyoverianallthat region. In Xew Jeisay the socialist ? , opnr- ating from their national headquart ers at .Newark , hive made a point , such as it is , jigtinst what they cillecl the "truck syBtcru , " by procuring a law against the payment of working- men's wajjcs ly "store orders. " It was aliened at the time of the passage of thu law that many largo manufactur ers had provision s'.orcs and groceries convenient to their works , where they sold family supplies to the Workmen at extravagant prices , anil that , practi cally , eery workmin was obliged to take ordew for"tru k" at these stores for psrt of the wa < ; ei or be discharged. Several of the southern states , in cluding South Carolina , have passed laws prohibiting the intermarriage of blacks and whites , but they wsll hard ly stop the process of mlscegtmt on which has been going on in that region for the hat century or so. The laws themselves , however , have within the year , bcn declared by the federal su preme court to be constitutional in a cisetbnt went up from Virginia. Geor gia has shown that the light of the nineteenth ceutuiy is dawning there abouts by appointing a.commissioner : to encourage immigration , and Iowa has done tbe same thing , though one would suppose she ought to bo satis- fi tl with the immense number of im 5i migrants that have heretofore fallen to her lot. t/ecrgia / has enacted a very stringent usury law. The general currant of legislation has of l-ite years been the other way , though I here are as yet only twelve states and territories tliat have no laws at all agiinst usury. New Hampshire ItB whicii can make all the mapla sugar she wants by simply letting the maple trees prow again on her hills , from which they havu been thoroughly cut away , oll'trs a home for the manufac ture of bc ! ; sugar. Louisiana , intent on taxes , requires every person carry ing on a business or profession , ex cept agriculture aud a few others , s.to pay a special licenar , as many of us had the pleasure o doins a few years ao , and some of us have still , under the operation of the- internal revenue law. Fortunatelys there is not at present any great temptation in Louisiana for Uia taxation of incomes. STATE JOTTINGS , Ulysses decided not to incorpo rate.

American Under the unique head of "Harass ing the Railroads , " The Philadelphia North American indulges iuan edito rial arraigning tbe entire country for its "jealous animosity" against rail- icad corporations. Itsays : " 1'ho rail- roadsare ceaselessly harassed through out the Union , though more in some regions thau in othura , by legislation unjustly oppressive in its inteition , out of which is happily in many cases nullified by the crudity of its execu tion. Restrictive laws are continually boint ; passed upon all pretexts and in all forms ; liws to fix the rate ? , to con trol the working , to alienate the prop erty , to restrain the power. Differ ent in character , they are alike riu spirit. They have one object to ham per the minagement and to prevent the railroad companies irom attaining an undue measure of and power pvoa- ' " perity. The North American will probably lyHI perceive that it argues too much , when it claims that there is so great unanim ity on the part of the people of the United States in opposition to the railroads. If everybody has a griev ance against the railroads , there must be some cause for dissatisfaction. The very fact that ia every stito appeals are boiog made to the legislature for protection against the railroads goes very far to prove that some protection is needed. Certainly the people of this country era neither EO ignorant nor so prejudiced that they will so up as one man and dent unce a S , unless there is a very glaring evil 1C existence which ought to be corrected. It is simply a misstatement of fact d.to caarg-j upon popular prejudice the feeling that generally exiata among the people in regard to the railroads. ! The North American , unintentionally pernaj.s , states one of the true object's of these who appeal to legislation for a proper control of the railroads. That object is "to prevent the railroad companies from attaining an undue measure of power. " That ii certainly a legitimate pur pose , particulaily ai those companies have been pursuing an object in the opposite direction. They have sought in every way to extend and perpetu ate their power. From the mouths of railway attorneys we have the in- formation that the railroads are pur chasers of legitlatures and newspapers. There is no lack of evidence thit in every election of importance the rail roads are active participants , both ilin the use of their influenca and in the furnishing of the "sinews of war. " This activity on the part of the rail roads in matters purely political ia not the result of the efforts of beef people to curtail the power of those great corporations. Ihe entry of the railroads into the political field anta-dated the raising ot the railroid is sue by tha people many years. Up on the legitlature the railroads have depended always for the extension of their power , and for the uninterrupted - rupted continuance of the abuses \vhch ; they have instituted. Until very lately they hive been prompted , not by prevention , but by lurtheranca of their object. They have succeeded so long in their efforts to acquire new power and in defying the public will , that the psop'e are now becoming arousad to the necessity of compelling tlio railroads not to their loss or destruction , however to do justice to those who have given them the right to exist. One of the strongest reasons for the activity and unaninvty of the people in the direction of railroad refurm is suggested in the extract which we have quoted. The nullifying of legis lation by the so called "crudity of its execution" has been for EO long a mat ter of notoriety , that the necessity of parsing laws that will be executed has nt laet become apparent. Unhappily , more hna that were just and fair than those ; that wera oppressive have been "crudely" executed , or rather not ex ecuted at all. Contempt of laws not in i : themselves contemptible have put the railroads in the position tt openly defying laws that they knew were eminently proper. If only oppressive laws were resisted by thn railroads , those corporations would hive less reason to fear future legislation 1 , but thsir nullifying jower : has been extended to every law that is not passed nt the direction of rail road managers. There is no need to disclaim for the friends of railroad reform - form the desire to hamper the man agement of the railroads. Those who have appeared prominently in the cf- tort to protect the people from corpo rate abuses have benn most mndest in their demands and l ve treated the question in a vflrjJTiberal manner , even from a railroid stmdpomt. Such a charge is as ei'ly ' as the one that all people not selfishly interested in the railroads are ignorant and prejudiced. IOWA E OILED DOWN.
