COUPANTS BECORD. Mr. 0. K. Coutant , who heads the ailroad ticket , with hi republican la- , as candidate for state senator , was a member of the last state sen- , ta. By reference to the'eerrate iour- nal of 1879 and the back files of THE BEE , we find that Mr. Co'utant's rec ord as a legislator renders him-totally unfit to represent this community in any capacity. Almost the first act of Mr. Coutantwas to confer the power of selecting and appointing the committees of the senate upon "Lieutenant Governor Oarns , who was and is notoriously a mere capper of the Union Pacific railroad , and Mr. ioutant know when ho voted to give Games that extraordinary power that he would cask the committees in the 'interest of the monopolies and job bers. The United States senate and almost every state senate in the union outside of Nebraska elect their com mittees. The president of the sen ate is a mere figurehead -with a cast ing vote in case of a tie , , but under the rules voted by Coutant and other ringaters Cams became vested with power to kill every measure landing to protect tb.e people against monopoly extortion , and we shall pre seatlyseo how th&t power was exer cised. The railroad committee of the lat' ' senate was composed of the following members : Church Howe , chairman Seaman of Buffalo , Norval of Sew ard , Kimmell of Polk , Clarkeon o Colcax , Ley of Stan ton , Birkhause : of R.chardson. Birkhouser was th < only member not under coiitrol of thi monopolies. Early in the session a joint resolu tion was introduced into the senate eadorsingOongnJSEman ThomasMaj- for his support of the Reegan bil to regulate iutor-staio commerce Church Howe , as chairman of the committee , reported adversely , nnd the resolution was tabled , Mr. Cou tant voting with Church Howe. On the 31st of January [ senate Journal , page 203) ) , Mr. Brown , of Douglas , offered the following resolutions : Resolved , That we favor the bill now pending in congress , limiting the toll for the transportation of freight and passengers oyer the railroad bridge , and the approaches thereto , between the city of Omaha and the cistern terminus of the Union Pacific railroad at Council Bluffs , in the state of Iowa , to the same rates that r.re charged for an equal distance on the main line of zaid.railroad. Resolved , That our senators and rep resentative in congress nro hereby re- quesled-to support Enid bill with their influence and votes. These resolutions were referred to the railroad committee , sndaftor hold ing thorn two weeks Church Howe made the following report : ( February 13th , page 444 , senate journal. ) Mr. President : Your committee on railroads , to whom have been referred at various times bills to restrict rail road companies in thf ir charges for the transportation of passengers and freights , and also certain resolutions concerning the charge now made fur Intuafor by milroail bridges and ! er rira across the .Missouri river , bog leave to eubmit the following report : Your committee have met with the railroad committee of the houfeo ( packed by the railroad cpper acting as speaker ) , and hare given the ques tion of lepislative railroad regulation a thorough examination , and have come to the conclusion that the same is nut at the present time demanded by the beet interests of the Etat\r * * * A majority of your comuiittco would recommend that the further "consideration of such legislation be indefinitely postponed. On February 14th , Church Howe ( page 470 senate journal ) called npthe resolution relative to tolls on the bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Mr. Brown , of Douglas , mov ed that tbe resolution be adopted. The yeas and nays being demanded , these voting in the affirmative were : Messrs. Arnold , Beck , Birkhauser , Brown , of Douglas , Cnppy , Grimm , Ottoratein , Scovill , Sullonbargor , Taft- andVan Wyck. 11. Those voting against the resolution to reduce U. P. bridge tolls were : Messrs. Brown , of Lancaster , Che ney , Clarkson , Coulter , Coutant ; Dor- sey , Gallagher. HaydenChurch Howe , Jewett , Kunmell , Ley , Marshall , Nor- vall , Stone and Wigton ] 6. Mr. Coutant voted with Church Howe , that it was not in the inter- eat of the people of Nebraska to re duce the extortionate bridge tolls and yet bath these worthies ask for an en dorsement at the hands of the tax payers of Douglas and Kemaha conn- ties. This is only one chapter in Mr. Coutaut's legislativejrecord. The Senate Journal shows that Mr. Coutant voted for Valentine's back pay steal of $1,875 , and for other jobs of a similiar character. And yet the republicans of Douglas county are asked by John M. Thurston and the Union Pacific managers to endorse this man and trust him with their vital interests in the next legislature. TUB Omaha Herald , which Ii noted for having always been the champion of labor and laboring men in the west , goes into hysterics over a bogus letter of General Garfield's on the Chinese question , which has been raked into the fire of the canvass by that pink of political purity , Bill Bar- num. The letter is alleged to have been written by General Garfield last Jjnuary to an eastern employer. It denies the necessity for the abroga tion of the treaty with China regard ing emigration , and siys that individ uals or companies have the right to buy their labor where it is the cheap est. This is the sum and substance of the letter , with which the demo cratic national committee are endeav oring to excite the passions of intelli gent workingmen. In the first place the letter is bogus , bogns in every word and lino. It appeared in a New York scandal mongering journal named TrurA , a sheet whose livelihood is earned by never speaking the truth. It ia a curious circumstance that if such a letter had been in existence since last January , it should only have been brought to light after the democratic party had received a most crushing de feat In the two pivotal states of Onio and Indiana. The forgery was the men. ever having written any such letter and demands a fac similie proof that it * may be compared with his hand writing. Ho denounces it as an in famous attempt to blacken the charac- tcr ot-a former laborer in the eyes of his fellow laborers , and proudly points to his life-long record on ques tions of labor in his legislative and ongressional career. Finally Gen- ral Garfield's speeches and coversa- ions with public men on this question re sufficient answers to this cheeky orgery. Against Bill Barnum's word r that of the editor of Truth , Gsn- eral Gatfield's mere denial will stand unshaken. * WHEN Valentine was before Hie last egielature lobbying tnrough lhat 81,875 back pay grab for services , which ho never rendered , he repre- tented to the legislative committees hatthis ยง 1,875 wag to go to his at torney , John C. Cowin. Now this in- 'ainous back pay grabber lied wil'ully when ho made these representations. John C. Cowin had stipulated with Valentine at the outset that ho would prosecute his claim to the teat or the bench without compensation Not only did Valentino never pay Cowin ono dime for his services In that case , but he never as much as offered to pay his hotel bill or his fare from Omaha to Lincoln. Every cent of the $1875 voted to Valentine by the late legfsla lure waa pocketed by that back-pa ; grabber , and this robber of the tax payers now asks an endorsement a their bauds. seems to baa slight prospec of a conclusion of the war between th South American republics of Chili Peru and Bolivia. It is reported tha the United States , through Miniate Chtiatiaucy , and backed by the Euro pean governments , is about to act a mediator and arrange an armistice 01 such terms as will speedily facilitate n declaration of peace. The terms o peace demanded by Chili reqrire th cession of a valuable part of the Peru vian territory which contains almos all the guano and nitrate deposit ? , the dismantling of the Callao forts , th return of her captured war vessels ant a pecuniary indemnity. THE U. P. paid attorneys grow ver eloquent over the solid south and th results of the Ohio and Indiana elec tions , but are absolutely silent con earning the salary grabber and lau < swindler whom that great monopoli has put up as a cit's-paw for con gress. They are also silent concern ing the demand of the people of Nebraska braska for protection fioin the corpo rate monopolies win are now feeding and growing fat utjuii the producers o the ' to. i-hrl ' ' s' a 'fgislature bo e'ect ed who wilt instet on the pcajago o Jars proLibi'iag ' discrimination anc extoitnn by the railroads ? This thu oiia question of surpassing inter eat with which Nehranka producer nro concerned. TuntE yeara ago b anfhai ; Myers , who has been set aCoat among the whisky jugs of Omahi as float senator for Douglas and Say , sued the edi tor of this paper for * ! ) ,000 damage to his reputation becuuso THE BEE , a the time of Myers' rco.i'l from Shang hai s id the state was dirgraced by thi appointment of such nn inubriato whi was at best a cross bet ween a monoma niao and a fool. A few mouths a othi case was tried and the jury awardei Myers fire cents damages. Now th man with a character valued at five cents appeals to the people , from th verdict of that jury and asks them t < elect him to the state senate. THE issues o ! the campaign an clearly defined , and cannot now bo changed. On the republican eide the solid south and the question of a pro teotivo tariff have been met with de mands for a change , the charge o sectionalism and a call for a tariff fo revenue only. Any attempt to fois any other issues upon the people a this late day will fail. IT is currently reported that Mr. Broatch will decline to serve as legis lative candidate , and his place on the ticket is to bo taken on the day of election by the redoubtable champion of the Holly steal , ex-Councilman Isaac S. Hascall , who would thus steal a march on the opposition and smug gle himself tnrough the lines. DR. MILLER ought to be a good judge of too meaning of political telegrams. Ho had some experience in that line of business about this time four yeara ogo. This accounts for his constant Oronin over the sub ject. SUCH reputable and talented young men as Balph Gaylord couldn't got a nomination at the hands of Thurston and Kimball's convention , but Pat. Mullen was honored with a call by a large majority. Church Howe. Nebraska Fa-mtr. Church Howe has been re-nomin ated by the dominant political -party of Nemaha county , fora re-election to the legislature. The Farmer has tens to suggest that ho be the railroad candidate for speaker , and failing in that he bo made chairmin of the com mittee on railroads. He is Master ol the state granqe , and at its last meet ing he excused his last session's action toward the railroad companies , when as chairman of the senate comniitte he played into their hands on every occasion , by saying that Nebraska's preat need was more railroads , and that he desired to do nothing then to discourage their construction , but said he , "wait until they got estab lished once , and then see me go for them. " The Farmer expects to see him fairly skin them alive this coming session. Alluding to the various campaigns , the Wheeling Intelligencer thinks that the great campaign now upon us will exceed thst of 1872 , when the " 'Go West' ' philosopher1' was in tbe field and fray. Time works wonder ; but with somethings it can make us change , as the following from our ea- tesmed fellow citizen H. F.

[ Clay County Globe , ( Rep. ) . CRETE , NEB , Oct. 4. H. D. Bogers , chairman republican contention : Your favor of 30th ult. is received , announcing my nomination aq sta'o senator for Saline county , which met at Wilbur , Sept. 22d. In answer to your communication I will say that I accept of this nomina tion , and for the following reasons : 1st. Cecauso the reaolutirm adopted by your conuention as your platform , are such as I car heartily subscrioe to. Iprofess continued faith inan < 1 fidelity to the fundamental principles of the republican pirty as I understand them. I believe also iu thanoed of judicious legislative action to correct abuses and prevent unjust discrimination in the charges of our railrc ad and other cor porations referred to. Especially do ] concur in that resolution of ycur con vention which affirms "that the policy and candidates of the republican pirty ought to be diet ited ana selected by the members of that party in the in terest of any man or set of men , who set themselves np as leaders of the party. 2d. This nomination being entirely unsought by mo and nearly or quite unanimous , without exacting of mo pledges either direct or indirect , to favor , if elected , any merely private or personal end * , I feel that I can accept of it without forfeiting my own S3lf- respect or that of other mrn. 3d I rocegnize in the action of your convention a practical attempt to effect a reform in the politics of our counly and state , lhat I feel in duty bound to support. For it is a fact so patenl that it needs no proof , that for these years the republican party in Nebras ka has been "run" more in tha fur therance of the personal ends and am bitions of n few men who aspire to bo its leaders , than in the interest of the people. The heavy republican m jor hies in the state at large and in near ly , if not quite every county , aflorc all the conditions requisite for the ap pearance of the republican ' politic- ian. " For wherever a political party can count confidently on solid majori ty of voters to ratify pach year the ac tion of its conventions , especially ill the matter of naming Iho men who are to have official position , just so sure is it that there will arise within the party "rings" and "bosses" anc all the accompaniments of the ' 'ma chine ; " and this state of things will continue just so long as the people wul ratify without question at every election the "slate" that these gen tlemen write up for them. In oilier words these latter will never decline to "ride" as long as the people wil' ' 'carry. " The only practical qucstioi ia this : Thin state of thing' ! mice inaugurated auguratod , what is the remedy ? How shall we get rid of the "machine" ' anc the "rings" and the "bosses ? " One thing is clear , we shall never doit eo long as it is reckoned by us the firsl test and almost the only teat of ro- pub icanism that we vote the ' 'straight' ticket. Juat so long as we pledge ouraelves in advance , specifically or tacitly that we will accept the candi dates presented in by our "regular caucuses and conventions , just so long will wo have "ring" caiidtda'es and the "boss" will fl mrish the part } whip to some effect. It is time this was ended , and to end it the onlj way is to "scratch" the ticket ; in other words , to "bolt" in every case whore the ticket is not acceptable This may ba iigh treason to the "boss" and to the "party , " but it is true patriotism and true republic m ism , nevertheless. For no man's ad herence to any political party ought to go beyond the hdelity of that pirty to such measures as ho deems essentia" to the general good , and no mar ought to accept from his own party thu nomination of a bad man to carry out oven a correct principle , for such a man cannot bj depended upon to support a good measure , while the man of real integrity may bo relied I ' upon never to support a bad measure. The history of politics in our country ? teaches us this lesson most emphatic j ally , that men are of more import I ance than measures ; that resolutions j and platforms are nothing uuleas true J t men are chosen to give practical effect j to them. Holding such views , I am not de terred from accepting your nomina tion because it is made by an "Inde pendent" republican conveution , for I believe the time has como in our j county and state , when independent I political action is needed ; when the tickets of caucusses and conventions should bo judged , not by their being "straight" or otherwise , but by the character of the men placed thereon. Until wo do this wo shall have cor rupt legislation ; legislation in the in terest of rings and monopolies ; legis lation thatia both foolish and corrupt. It is of no use to ask or expect better legislation until we send better men to legislate. It is no use to trim the branches an long as wo fail to strike at the root. Nor am I frightened at the cry of "sore-head" as applied to the members of your convention. There was never a reform even iu religion , ! however much in the right direction - I tion , that the originators there of were not denounced as "heretics" or some other equally oj ? probrious name , and just so in poli tics. It has even been true that the leaders in a "split" or "bolt" have baen termed " ere heads , " until to sensible men the term has lost its sig nificance. Doubtless it is true that more or less of personal feeling ia in volved in every such movement , but nevertheless the movement may bo in the right direction and deserving of support. Indeed , what reform of any kind i wholly free horn men seeking private ends ? But are onr opponents the ones * to take up this stone to hurl at us ? Are they all "without sin" in this particular ? Are none' of them aLxious most of all for the loaves and fishes of office , and is not their chief anxiety thus to stigmatize this move ment the outcome of their fear , least if successful it may rob them of their coveted spoil ? These are questions that I leave for the intelligent and dupassionate voter to answer for him self. self.I I have in conclusion a word for euch who would impaach my republi- ciniBm for aiding this movement , and who profess th&t the & interests of re publicanism are endangered by voting for me. Identified with the republi can pjrty from its very birth uniformly voting with it en all national issues , and in localities where it was for years in a hnpjlesg minority , incurring the stigma unca attached to the few who less a republican than he i3i "Are they Hebrews ? so am L" And espsctally am I amused to find men. who think tha real interests qt , republicanism are endangered if , committed - > mitted in any degree to myxkeeplngi when these same men somehow never saw their way clo r to join the re publican party till it began to have as- cendaucy in the nation , and the path of duty and the pith to political pre ferment seemed to coincide. As a personal favor , I ask no mans | _ vote. All I ask ef the men of any md every party , is that each assert iia manhood and his independence of party trammels by voting for such nen , and such men on'y , as he deems best fitted and likely to be most trust worthy in the respective offices to which they ere nominated. Personal success or defeat ia o small matter compared with the importance of iclping to gain such an end. Ycry truly yours , D. J. JONES. THE PRODUCERS' PLATFORM. The following are tha resolutions adopt cd by the national cheap transportion con rention held in Chicago last week : Jltsolrcd , 1.
