THE first pitched battle between
the Greeks and Turks has taken place ,
and the war appears to have actually
begun in earnest. Meanwhile the

The outcome of the Maine election
falls far short of the jubilant reports
telegraphed Tuesday morning from
Augusta to Portland. Instead of four
oat of five congressmen , the delega
tion will remain precisely as it was
last year , Lndd and Murch , both
of whom were elected in 1878 ,
on a straight greenback platform ,
being returned to the house of rep
resentatives. The legislature is over
whelmingly republican and will elect
a republican senator to succeed Sena-
"tor Hamlin. The governorshipwhile
in doubt , will probably fall to Davh ,
the republican candidate , and iC this
Droves to be the case , the fusionist
victory , over which the democrats
have been BO jubilant , will prove to
bo something more than a defeat.
The democracywho have beenclaim-
Ing whatever results ensued from
Monday's election , have been receiv
ing a sound berating from tbe
groenbackera for their cheek in
appropriating the credit of
a contest begun and fought
Tiy greonbackerB and waged on a soft
money platform. The fact of the mat
ter is that the democratic party wss
shallowed up last year by the nation-
ultsts and polled less than-one-sixth of
the rotes cast in the whole state. It
is silly to make iny comparison of
democratic gains and republican losses
on the bails of the vote of 187C. In
that yeir the fi > ht was squarely be
tween the democrats and republicans ,
the greenback party only casting 532
votes to 75,612 cast by the re
publicans rnd 60,052 thrown
for the democratic candidate.
Two years later the influence of hard
times and local differences , brought
into existence the party of Solon
Chase. Both the republican and
democratic parties lost heavily , but
the democracy was almost swept out
of existence. Lut year the democratic
party polled only 21,668 votes out of
an aggregate rote rf 133,024 , while
the republican's cast ovc * 6S,003 votes
and tha reen Backers 4S.C17. Out of
this 43,003 votes nearly 30,000 was
drawn from the democratic party ,
which two years before had cast
60,652. Finding thcmtelvea in
a hopeless minority , the democrats
joined with the greenbackers and attempted -
tempted to perpetrate the Garcelon
steal. This year they attached them-
eelves to the greenback skirts , and ,
although casting bnt one vote to every
throe thrown by the greenback organ-
izition , had the audacity to claim the
result as a great victory for Hancock
and Englishhard raeaey and reform.
THE SOLDIERS' EEtJNION.
War has her victories , bnt peace
has greater onea. The reunion of
veterans of the war of the rebellion ,
just concluded at Central City , was
and witness
a most significant eloquent
ness to the patriotism of the nation's
soldiery , the eelf-sacrificing love of
country which still fires their hearts ,
but more thanallothestabilityof ( our
national government and tha sterling
worth of our citizen soldiery , which
mads the close of our war and the re
turn of the country to peace and quiet
the wonder and admiration of the
world.
In 1865 , when five hundred thou-
sind veterans bronzed with the Buns
and rains of four years warfaremarch ,
ed through the streets of Washington
for their final review , many hearts
were tilled with anxious forebodings
of the future. What would be
came cf cuch a vast body of
men who for four years had
left their farms , factories and count
ing houses , who had thrown aside the
> low to take up the sword. From pro-
[ nceralhev had suddenly become'con-
umers , and their places at homo were
illed by others , who labored to pro
vide means for the prosecution of the
war. Grave fcara were entertained
or the peace of the country. His
tory was full of the ravages commit
ted by disbanded armies. Home's
greatest blows to civil government
were given by the hands of her own
soldiery after the close of victorious
campaigns. Europe had felt the force
of attacks from her veteran battal
ions , who , under the lead cf victori
ous generals , had seized for them
selves the fruits of their own victo
ries and usurped the government
which called them into existence.
History affords no parallel to the
peaceful dispersi on of the union ar
mies at the close of the war of the re
bellion. As quietly as they had risen
; o the call of their country they sank
out cf existence. Returning to their
tomes they either began anew to
nako for themselves places for the
irosocution of the aits of peace or
turning their faces west eot out in anew
now soil to win their way among
strangers. To the soldier element
as much , if not more than to ary oth
er , the gieat west owes her marvel
ous development and prosperity. At
Central City representatives from
: iearly every state in the Union an
swered t the roll call of veterans.
Our ablest lawyers , our most enter
prising citizens , farmers whose homes
and lands are the pride of our state ,
merchants whose integrity and busi
ness activity are no less df ar to their
neighbors than to the state at large ,
men holding offices of trust and honor
to which they have teen
raised by the franchise of 'the
people , gathered together to re
call the -stirring sceuss of the past
and reioico in the prosperity of the
nation which they helped to preserve.
Nebraska contains within her borders
nearly 15,000 veterans of the late
wer , nien who at the call of their coun
try offered their 1'ves to her service ,
men.whoso patriotism , called forth in
time of warjhas never been allowed to
die away when victory has placed the
crown on their brave endeavors. Such
men are a living monument to the
stability of our government and the
wisdom of its founders. While they
live tha existence of the nation
in ita unity and the de
velopment of the country in
its prosperity are fully assured. At
every reunion they present a specta
cle which may well cause congratula
tion and grateful admiration to all
mankind , the spectacle of warriors
who once preserved a nation , now in
pursuit of the arts of peace , building
ur > the structure of state and perpetu
ating the blessh'gs of freedom to gen
erations yet to come.
SENATOuUoNKLiNo formally opened
the republican campaign in New York
on Friday evening , and in an eloquent
and powerful speech gave the lie to the
charges of the bourbons that he * as
half-hearted in his support of the
principles and candidates of his party.
The senator struck the key-note of the
campaign when he said that the general -
oral issue confronting the republican
party was southern sectionalism and
the domination of a part of the slates
which contains but one-seventh of
the population and not one-fourth of
the producing , commercial , industrial ,
tax-paying and property interests of
the country. He clearly brought out
how completely congress , in both
branches , is under the brigadier
thumb and"tho principal committees
presided over by brigadiers who have
only been prevented by the certainty
of a presidential veto trom introduc
ing bills for their own personal ag
grandizement and the reimbursement
of the south for its war losses. He
concluded that partof speech which
treated of the '
aation'a commerce by
the following passage :
"I affirm that the broad issue at
this election is whether our colossal
fabric , commercial , industrial and fin-
annial { interests shall Jay under the
management and protection of those
who chiefly created and
own it , or
shall be handed over to the sway of
those whose share in it is small and ,
whose experience , antecedents , theo
ries and practices , do not fit them r
entitle them to assume ita control/ '
The civil condition of the south ,
the question of war claims , the in
violability of the constitutional
amendments , and the record of the
democracy on the judiciary and the
finances , were sll dealt with in that
masterly and searching manner for
which the senaipr for New York is so
noted , and the
speech closed with a
fine tribute to the republican candi-
dates. Senator Conkling will from
this time on devote his energies to
New York and Indiana , and his influ
ence will doubfess ba felt in the
strengthening of the party lines and
continued accessions from the demo
cratic ranks.
Will Mr. J. Sterling Morton in his
exhibit at the
cominjj state
convention -
tion , present a complete footing of
the railroad bonds voted by Nebraska
counties. If he does aud subtracts
the sum total from the entire indebted
ness , the remainder will prove a very
elira argument for the charge of re
publican extravagance.
