SOME 'PLAIN WORDS.
The rcfr.'blican party of Nebraska
raoeta te-iay in assembled convention
n two t f the three congressional dis.
tricti to nominate candidates who th/ill
represent the people of this state in
tlvj national congrtes at Washington.
It is of the highest importance that
( heir choice shall full upon w sn who
liavo secured the people's confidence ,
and nro on that account certain of the
popular support.
The conventions of tha Firit find
Third distrieta cannot afford to endorse
any man whose past record
has been called into serious questioner
or whoso present connections are not
above suspicions. Above all they
cannot afford to ignore the swelling
anti-monopoly sentiment , which is
making itself felt throughout the
stato. That sentiment represents
thousands of republican votes which
will bo given or withhold from the
party nominees juit in proportion as
thoao nominees are considered to re
present or to fail to represent the
popular sentiment on a great and 5m
portant issue.
There are only two courses for the
republican party , as a party , to pur
auo. They must either recognize the
wishes of a largo number of voters
within the party ranks , or they must
ignore them.
If the party proposes to take the
latter course , they must bo prepared
to take the consequences. In other
states largo majorities have been over
thrown by the refusal of party mana
gers to consult the party wishcc ,
and wo predict that our own state
under the same circumstances will
provo no exception to the rule. Our
people have for years contributed to
the support of the republican party in
Nebraska. They now demand that it
shall voice- their wishes in the sclec-
tjon of candidates. If tbcy are re
fused tliu only course which remains
is that of independent action.
There It no necessity to provo the
existence of the great dissatisfaction
with party management throughout
the state. The organization of
the Farmers Alliance ) and thu
anti-monopoly league , the pro
tests of the press and the in
distant appeals of voters through
the columns of the daily and weekly
pressure indications which cannot bt
passed over with a sneer. Moro than
thu , many republicans ore refusing to
take part in our primaries and con
vcntions , because they do not wish to
tie themselves up or to bind the a.
selves to obey the dictates of a per
verted party machinery. In a scoru of
our counties the most respectable olo-
j icent in the party has been driven
i a participation in the party coun-
il " and = 'o already revolting against
tie action of the tricksters who have
uizod the party machinery fcr their
own personal ends and to advance tin
ntereata of corporate monopolies.
The people ut Nebraska ask thi
republican party to select candidate
'or cilice whom they can support con
sistently with their own interests a
citizens of the state. They deinun
candidates who will work in the na
tional congress on behalf of Xebrask
producers , and not in the interests o
the railroads. They insist that cor
rupt intriguers like IS. K. Valentine
and disreputable tricksters like Churc
Uowc , shall be given ft back sent , an
that positions of honor and trust elm !
bo bestowed upon men who will d
credit to the oflico and to their cor
stituonts.
But if their wishes are denied , i if
their demands are refused , and if th
sentiment which backs those wishes
and demands is ineolenlly ignored b } <
cause it conflicts with u slate mad I
. up in railroad headquarters and pushe ,
through by men who have seized upon
the party machinery to obey the dic
tates of the monopolies , wu warn the
republican pnrty of Nebraska
that they iiro courting defeat ,
if not at the present
election , then in the near futute. i
1'arty votes once alienated urodillicult
Uy
to rrgain. Confidence in the honesty
of platform professions , because belied
lied by party practice , on-jo lost , 9is
rarely restored. The signs of thu
political times in ur state- are very
threatening , They furbodo a storm
which may involve the future SUCCCSF ,
if not the existence , of prevailing par
ties In Nebraska. The sky can only
bo cleared by the selection by both
purties of honest and tlliclont car.di-
dates for olllco , wliojo characters are
above reproach , and who mny bo war
ranted to voice- the wishes ut the pco-
plo in whatever position of public trust
they may bo called upon to fill.
GBNKKAL CJIOOK before leaving the
department of thu Platte made a re
commendation regarding the concen
tratiou of troops at euveral points on
the railroad which will provo of in
terest to the people of Omaha. Tno
general very probsbly recognizes the
fact that in the proaont condition of
our army tha largo number of frontier
> osts toittered throughout the do-
r irtmunt can nora ba garrisoned Up
to their full capacity. lie therefore
nuj oata that the greater portioi of
tliu forcci bo concentrated at tour
poin's , Omaha , Sidney , Ohpyunno
Ft. DouRln * Utah , .all of
on the railroad iiud from
inforcuttienta cu' bo hurried
the frontier t c short no.
( Wla iiaio of difficulty , Lait winter
plans and pcci/icatiotii / were drawn
op for an enlargement of Fort Omaha
sufficient to accommodate ten compa-
, nies. The measure which was drafted
to carry these plans into operation
failed to find * place on the appro
priation bill in congress. As this is
directly in the line of General Crooks
suggestion it is to b hoped that our
senators and representatives in con
gress will succeed in securing its passage -
sago as soon as possible. The depart-
menta of the Dakota and of the Missouri -
souri have both received much greater
recognition than our own largely be
cause the Minnesota and Kansas dele *
Rations put their shoulders to the
wheel and secured the neces > ary ap
propriations.
TRICKING THE COUNTRY.
The republican farmers in Douglas
county cast one-half of its republican
vote. It is the country majorities
which in every case are depended
upon to carry through the republican
ticket and offset the heavy demo
cratic vote which is invariably polled
in Omaha. This is recognized in the
precinct apportionments for the coun
ty convention in which thecouitry
republicans are pivcn 311 delegates
while the city lias 42. Bat the coun
try republicans are tricked out of
their legitimate representation in
the delegations selected by the
convention becausa they are mostly
anti-monopoly men and will not lend
themselves to do the dirty work of
the corporations in betraying their
constituents. This is the reason whj
the country precincts of Donglajj
county were given only five delegates
to the state cjnvontioa and five to the
congressional convention , while the
city haa thirteen. If justice had be 'n
done , the country would have been
represented in both delegations , in
proportion to its republican votes , by
eight delegates , while the city would
have received the t.-n , to wl.ich it is
equitably entitled. This is an
old game of the disreputable
gang who attempt to ride rough shod
over the respectable republicans in
Douglas county. They are as much
afraid of the "granger volo" in coir
vontlons as they are at the polls.
They are forced to give the country
some representation in order to hold
together the party organization , but
in every case whcra it is possible they
select men aa country delegates whose
previous record lead * them to behevn
that .hey will bo pliant tools of the city
ohyatora and bummers on the dele
gation. H. G. Harbour , who waa
defeated tor the legislature at the
last election and who is not the
choice of his own precinct , waa sent
as a delegate to the congres
sional and state conventions , bosauso
no always gives the proxies to the
railroad clan. This is the class of
country representatives who do not
and will not represent the country
and there selection in defiance of
the wishes of Douglas county farmers ,
is an insult to the voters whom they
misrepresent.
Tm : effect of railroad domination in
our local politics is visible in the kind
of delegations which they send to our
state and congressional conventions.
Men of character and nbility cannot
bo brought to the front becauao they
refuse to scivo with the riff-raff which
are scraped together to obey the dic
tates of the monopoly managers.
Mandcr.son , Cowin , Briggs and Lake ,

This work ia entirely now in plan and

Plantation Melodies , Madrigals , Gleee ,

Choice Sacred Pieces and Temperance

brace the richest gems in the whole

would cost over fifty dollars. Thu
book sells At the marvulously low
price of $2.50 , ? 3.50 and § 3 , accord

The eenato of the United States was
very evenly divided during the last
eeaslon of congress. Thu chances
which will occur after March 4 , 1883 ,
will probably give ono or the other of
the t"o parties control of that body.
A. democrat , Mr. Gibson , will succeed
Mr. Kellogg from Louisiana ; on the
other hand , a republican will succeed
Mr. Grover , democrat , from Oregon.
Wilson in Iowa , and Anthony
in Rhode Island , have been elected to
succeed republicans in thoao states ;
and there ia but little doubt that
Mehsrs. Hoar , of Massachusetts ;
IMui.ib , of Kansas ; Ferry , of
Michigan ; Windoai , of Minnesota
seta , and Sounders , of Nebraska ,
will bo their ovm successors. If
tnis is not the case in each of the
above states , where the lojjialaturea
elect next winter , it U certain that ro-
publicaiiii will be elected. There is
uvery reason to expect that Mr. Fryo
will bo his own tuccessor in Muitiu.
iind that Mr. Teller will be 'rucceoded
by n republican in Colorado. Thus
far the ching 'a leiwo the politic ) ! com
plexion of the next senate the aamo as
now. In Kentucky Mr. Beck haa
been chc sen his own succesHor. The
same ia true of Mr. Lunar , of Miaii
aippi. Democrats will succeed demo
crats in .Alabama , Ark.i'isaa ,
ware , North Carolina , Siuth Caro-
hnaiind Texas. If there should bo nfair
olcction in South Carolina Mr. Butler
will not bo returned. There is also :
doubt if Mr. Ildrris , of Tennessee.
will bo his own successor , or if the
senator from that stito will be a demo
crnt of hia typo. Tn the laat legisla
ture the republicans hud forty-eifih
out of the 100 members , and will
proper care could have elected a re
publican The present indications are
such as make the republican ! * hopeful.
Mr. Davis , of West Virginia , wil'
doubtless be succeeded by u democrat.
Mr. Ividdlobergor , roadjuster or ad
ministration , has been elected to nuc-
c < > ed Mr. Johnston , democrat , from
Virginia. Ho can bo relied upon to
vote with the republican * on many
questions. The seats of Mr. Me
I'noreon , of Now Jersey , and Mr.
Davis , of Illinois , independent , should
bo Tilled with republicans. If the
proper vigilance is exorcised they can
bo. The late legislatures of Now Jersey -
soy have been republican , except the
hut , when there waa it tio. It is be
lieved that unless Mr. MoPhoron ,
who is rich and strong with the rail
road interests , makes a desperate
effort , and the republicans make some
inexcueablo blunder , the republicans
ctn control the next legislature , The
chances are decidedly in favor ot
fair republican majority. If the re
publicans hold their own in Mainu
and Colorado , and elect in Illinois ,
they will have four majority , countiu (
HiddluberRcr. If Mr. Mcl'horson is
succeeded by a republican the majority
will bo increased to six. If they line
had that majority in the senate the
republican senators would undoubt
edly have been able to carry a proper
tax reform bill.

OCITEAU's BUAIK8.
Dr. Lamb , on Monday , received the
report of the microscopical experts ,
Drs. Arnold , Shakespeare and McConnell -
Connell , containing the result of their
investigations into the condition of
Guiteau'a brain. After careful con
sideration the report wa3 indorsed by
Dr. Lamb , and forwarded to Phila
delphia , where it will bo published in
The Medical Journal. The report is
couched in lauguugo moro technical
than the report of the surgical
autopsy , and will necessarily be almost
unintelligible to the average reader.
Dr. Limb declined to express any
opinion which hn may hold as to the
result of the examination , saying that
from his position and connection with
the caeu , it might bo given
greater prominence than It de
served. Ho would say , how
ever , that the position taken by
Dr. Uodding that Guiteau was insane
woulu be materially supported by the
ropoit. The investigation had been
nihdo under peculiarly favorable cir
cumatances , and the result would
form u complete ! record of immense
value to brain atudonta. "Tho inves
tigation , indeed , " said Dr Lamb ,
"h.id been so complete and thorough
that specialists would have great dif
ficulty in finding cases which might
properly servo as a basis of compari
son. " In conclusion he said ho did
not believe the report would cauao a
change of opinion a to Guitoau's in
sanity to any great extent , but that *
the medical fraternity generally must
draw their own conclusions , and this
was the court of last resort.
