publish another letter from
Mr. Hedde , of Grand Island , on the
necessity of "organized , opposition to
the inroads on personal libertyby the
.prohibitionists. Mr. Hedde admits
that the material interests of our city
may be seriously endangered by , ( he
keepers of low groggerlee' and. dens
acting In concert with bummers and
vagrants" our primaries - and
elections. He thinks however
that 'tnls claw of voters may readily
be controlled by the Her/s , Mela's and
Urug'e , who have large property in
terests in Omaha , and would not wish
to have our city governed by
shysters , blacklegs and jobbers.
It is to be "hoped they may
be able to do so , but we fear
their efforts to prevent 'disreputable
.men from forcing themselves to the
front as candidates for Mayor , Police
Judge and Councilmen .through the
backing , of the liquor dealers ,
will not prqve successful. If
they succeed ifwill beihe death knell
of 'the entire license system. It will
force all respectable people who are
not interested"Jn the liquor traf

hoodlums and corrupt jobbers , to

THE republican primaries are called
for nert Tuesday evening , and it is to
be hoped that the 'republican mer
chants , mechanics and -laboring men
of Omaha will take an active interest
in the selection of delegates the
city convention , and in the nomina
tion of warS councilmen. The
councilmen at large , will , of coarse ,
be combated by the city convention ,
but -depends very much as to whom
the'city convention nominates as to
whether they will be elected. This
paper lias no great amount of respect
for or confidence In the sys
tem ! , of primaries as conducted.
in Omaha and Douglas county.
We reserve ifor ourselves the same
privilege which we have exercised
heretofore of chosing bad men who
pick the primaries with repaaters and
bummers. In the coming city elec
tion it is decidedly more important
that we should elect respectable and
honest men than that they should be
ropublicuuror democrats. All things
being equal , we should prefer to sup
port and .elect republicans and we
therefore " urge that -every republican
tax payer in Omaha take
the time necessary for personal at
tendance at .the polls. We should
deplore the necessity of opposing re
publicans candidates , but unless the
conventions nominate men to whom the
community can afford to trust it's vast
interests we may be forced to advocate

' GRAND-ISLAND , March 25 , ' 81.
To the Editor of Tiis 'fizz :
There seems to be not much of a
discrepancy , between your'a and our
views on temperance .legislation and
woman suffrage. The only real dif
ference between as , if I understand
you right , is in regard to the time
when action- , rather , preparation
'or action , has to be commenced. We
think the time has come now ; we
lave commenced to act , and _ ( shall dose
so in future. Independent men will
disagree about such minor points. If
yon will wheel Into line at a later
time you may do some good service
yet.
yet.This
This senseless "high license"- law ,
which in reality is a prohibition law
in disguise ( as it virtually makes it
impossible to obtain a license ) , and
the woman suffrage amendment is the
result of the long continued efforts of
well regulated temperance and woman
suffrage organizations , spread over the
whole ; country , kept together by obed
ience snd acting in concert under
common leaders. It baa taken them
years to complete their organizations
ind to prepare for the work , which
they all .of > a sudden have done in our
state , , in Kansas and other states ; and
which they .even have tried to do .in
the congress of the United- States :
They made a sudden attack on our dis
organized liberal.elements , took them I
Dy surprise , and defeated them , when \
in the last moments they mado. a '
stand. The defeat was the well de
served result of energetic and , well :
concerted action of'the ' < enemy , and of :
; he miserable and helpless disorgan *
zation In oar own camp. Every lu-
ttlligant .observer can.see this clearly.
Now-why not learn fronrourenemy ? i
The enemy , though not -wise at all for
eglslative purposes , is cunning and. i
understands the tricks of the world ,
eadirg to success. He teaches us ,
unite and strengthen your forces by.
organizing them ! Oommenca work
early , and work CDntinnally and oner3 3 I
geticallv ! If we follow hia lessons j
; uccc-s3 will be oars , if not , it will be f
theirs.
There is no reason to be ashamed of
earning from 'our enemies. Greater
men than we are , have in that , way
earned to conquer , and they were
troud of doing s'o.
If we had learned this lezson ear-
ier and had.commenced our -work one
or two yean ago , we would have beoa
spsred a defeat and the disgrace of
laving on oar statute b6oka "dead
etters , " and worse than that , a law
which , as you fear , will create "law-
essness. " Whether the danger , of
whichcyon speak , that a low whisky
element .will control jour elections ,
Is bo great as yon seem to believe' , 1
don't ( know , but I 'believe ' that men
ike Iler , Metz , Krug and. other re
spectable , citizens , which are at the.
lead of your Merchants and Manu-
'scturera' naibn , should be unable to '
control such an element.- And if ,
notwithstanding , soeh .danger . should ,
exist , It would be another strong argur
ment in favor of my proposition , that
all the good citizens , without regard to
party lines , should organize and use
ielr influence to protect our liberty
gainst the , despotisms of any fanatics ,
may they be drank with whisky or
crazed on water.
Here in Grand Island all the liberal
men who. have no interest in the liquor
'
traffic , have jolued'together and form
ed the association of the "Sons of Lib-
> riy" just for the'pnrpoae of. working
n time for the hitherto neglected de-
ense of our liberty. The organiza-
ion is entirely separate from the Jiquor
dealers league , , aud is doubtless strong
enough to prevent all lawlessness and
o see good and respectable men elect
ed foroar city offices ; Though we
iomparatively have as many and per-
lips more saloons than you In Omaha ,
here is not the least bit of ' 'danger
lere that they , in bur city election ,
will have any undue influenca
Tie only danger , I see , is in the
'
( ollllcal . .slowness 'and laziness of , ao
naty of bur 'good citizens , 'who' are
ncHuedrtoTalwaya delay'until to-mor
'aw the work they ought to do to-day ,
