MR. 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 § 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

for Douglas and Say , sued the edi

the time of Myers' rco.i'l from Shang

appointment of such nn inubriato whi
was at best a cross bet ween a monoma
niao and a fool. A few mouths a othi

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. JBehrons ,

of republican doctrine. We publish

only thing patriots can do ia to scratch
the ring candidates and thus teach
the wire-pullers a good leason. Please
read the letter. [ 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.

Jltsolrcd , 1. That the producers and ehip-
pe a of _ this country in their contest with

right ; that they demand that , and that
they will ha\e it.
J. That while 3rculture ! pays lens than
4 per tent , npon tne investment and legit-
i i ate business enterprises of any charac
ter seldom reach 10 percetit , we will not
pay rates for transportation of the produce
of onr fatm-5 to nyiriet which enable rail
road fcfficiala to nmass princely fortunes ,
live in extravagance , and pay large divi
dends upon ths fuse value of their stock ,
besides taring enough from the profits ol
their business to nuke improvements ant
andextenii nsupon their lines , which a1
often more valuable than the aggregate ol
full dividends.
" 3. Wo demand of congress a remedy ;
tli.it it shall place the railroads of the couu-
tiy tinder government control , enacting
l.u\i that will certainly protect the pro
ducer from ths terrible extortion under

1. The republicans of Nebraska most
heartily endorse the profession ot princi
ples formulated by the national republican
convention at Chicago , nnd pledge their
nn swen ing support to the candidates there
otuinated.
2. We affirm the doctrines of national
sovereignty in the formulated principles
upon which the perpetuity of the nation
re-its , and that the iHnciple of In me lule
ac cr.uuci iteil by the democratic pai ty is
but the cAtitioui expresiion of the Calhoun
doctrine of state right' , is revolutionary
-iu its character and destructive iif the
unity of the nation.
3. We icg.ird the recent seizure of the
polls and the wholesale robbery of the
iranchi-es of the republican citizens of Al
abama , surprising iu the magnitude and
effrontery of the crime of all former efforts
of the partv under the Tweed plan in New
York , anil the Mississippi plan in the
south , as a fair specimen of democratic
method and a foiccastof democratic do
minion in national affairs that should in
cite every honest man and taxpayer in the
country to most evnest endeavor to de
feat the partv of brigandage and fraud at
the polls in November.
J. Wo have considered "what > Lee and
Jackson would do If they were alive , " and
have determined to prm.Jpv p " best ener
gies in preventing the seizure of the nation
al government fjy their living comrades
through the frauds of the uolid south.
| I 5. We congratulate the people of the
' state upon the rapid increase of pouula.- .
i tion and wealth , and uf on the good meas
ure of prosperity that has rewarded tneir
labor , upon the rapid upbuilding of our
material interests since the success of re-
sumption nnd the revival of trade.
6. Ws pjedgo our support to such legis-
lation in congress nncl such measures by
state legislatures as may be necessary to
effect a correction of abases and prevent
extortionate discrimination in charges by
railroad corporations.
7. We mo t cordially invite the aid and
co-operation in the latest defense of the
national integrity and national pur = e of all
republicans and war democrats who have
differed with us on temporary issues , or
have clung to theparty name.
Jlcfolred , That we heartily join in the
recommendation made by General Garfield
in his letter of acceptance in urging upon
congress the speedy improvement of the
Missouri river for bargee navigation.
