THE REVOLT IN THE THIRD
DISTKIOT.
Nebraska republicans of the Third
district are brought face to face with
a formidable revolt within the party
ranks. This revolt is not merely a
forcible protest against the candidacy
of K. 1C. Valentino , but an open
declaration of war upon corporate
bonsism in Nebraska politics , Nearly
four thousand republicans expressed
decided disapproval of Valentino's
conduct in congress at the election of
1880 , when ho was a candidate for a
second term , by scratching his name.
That was in a national election year ,
whan party fooling ran high , and the
vital issue of anti-monopoly was not
as clearly defined an it is to-day , The
attempt of the corporate monopolies
to foist this man upon the people in
defiance of popular sentiment for a
third term by the corrupt use of patty
machinery , through packed primaries
and bribed conventions , has made a
breach within the party that grows
wider every day.
The railroad organn denounce the
nomination of M. 1C. Turner ai irreg
ular , and insist that no ia not entitled
to republicm nupport. Aa a matter
of fuot the nomination of Valentino
is equally irregular. Ho received
only 01 votes in the convention that
nominated him. Deducting from this
the 27 votes of Buffalo , Holt , Knox
and Lincoln countion , which wore
contested and to which ho never was
entitled , and there would only bo Gt
straight votes , or 10 leas than a ma
jority of the delegates from the dis
trict. But regularity in conventions
ia a matter of very muclj loss impor
tance than the question whether con
ventions , as olemonta in the party
machinery , perform tholr duty.
That duty is the voicing of party son-
timont. If they fail to accom
plish the result , however regular ,
they cannot justly claim party sup
port.
port.For
For the first time In the hintory of
the republican pirty in our state , Ne
braska has felt the wave calling for
party reform which is boating so violently
lently against party machinery in a
half a dozen eastern statea whcro re
publicanism has long been aupromo.
In Pennsylvania the spectacle is pre
sented of un independent republican
organization within the party ranks
with a full otato and congrcsaionol
ticket.
It is a revolt against political boas-
ism through the nomination of men
who will represent something moro
than the wishes of the party ring mas
ter. In Nobraalca the revolt is direct
ed uLjiiinat railroad boauism which has
seized the party machinery to foist
upon the people a notorious jobber
and brass collared lackey.
The revolting republicans of the
third district uppoil for party sup
port on the ground of party traditions.
They Imvu faithfully followed repub
lican leaders in every national and
state campaign. They still propose
to adhere to the cardinal principles of
the republican party by supporting
for eongrrai , a life long republican
whoso past ciroor is a pledge that ho
will faithfully represent the people
and do justice to the corporations.
The republican tovolt againot Val
entino ia a determined tifurt on the
part of the mussi-a to stamp out the
tyranny of a contipt ring acting in
collusion with a gianf monopoly. It
is now an issue to bo decided through
the b llot box whether northern Ne
braska is a republican or a railroad
district , whether the masses of the
people have become so corrupt and
utterly debased as to send to congress ,
as a representative of the whole state ,
a man whoso oaroor makes him
utterly unworthy of public con
fidence or roapeot. When face
to face with this irrepressible
conflict there can bo no doubt
that the republicans of the Third
district will assert tholr manhood and
independence. Tlioy can neither be
driven , frightened or bought. The
cry of bolter has long ago lost ita terror -
ror for every body except the bread-
and-butter brigade , but even those
who hold ollleo and those who want
olllce cannot bo guilty of bolting where
ono candidate has as much regularity
as the other. The time h.w eomu for
the people to take the power from the
hands of those mun who lutvo abused
it.
TIIUHSTON H generalship lias again
been exhibited with the usual result.
This talented blunderer tried to noin-
inato Hay ward for supreme judge , and
Uon , Cobb was chosen by the conven
tion , He nominated Baldwin und
Savage was elected. Ho went into a
grand combination with Church IIowo ,
Davrea and Co. , to elect Albinua
Nance to the senate and Gen.
Van Wyck carried off the grand prize.
Last year ho conceived the idea to
make General
Dlllworth
aupromo
judge , and Maxwell had a walk away.
Thurston's first choice for congress
man from this district was Ohurch
Howe , but Mr. Kimball was afraid ho
oould not bo elected , and Thnrston
concocted a nohomo to nominate
Mitchell of Otoe whoso
, , services as
chairman of the railroad committee
had not been forgotten ,
To this end every proxy that could
bo brought in
Douglas county nas
secured ; the dissenting delegates were
given taffy , and an cifort was made to
consolidate the whole delegation on
Mitslioll. The scheme did not seem
to work , however , and aa a last
desperate resort Thurston proposed to
give Douglas county to Weaver for
ono ballot if Ilichardson would bo
given to Mitchell on the succeeding
billot. Thurston did not expect
however , that Weaver had * a
chest of a show , but
Uass county came over and
gave Weaver the nomination and
Thurnton found himself checkmated
at his own game , The glorions vic
tory was really an inglorious defeat.
The proxy delegation from Douglas
procured regardless of expense proved
a boomerang to Thurston.
NEBRASKA EXPOSITION.
Tl.o Nebraska state fair , which
opens to-day in this city , ia already an
assured success. Bounteous harvests
throughout our borders have united
in forwarding every interest and have
given an unucual impotun towards a
generous and satisfactory exhibition.
Our farmers have contributed liberal
ly from their barnn and storehouses
and have aont the choicest displays of
their blooded stock from the pan-
turo. In every respect the displays
of Nebraska's agricultural products
will bo a credit to our state. They
will ahow to thousand" of visitors that
industry and a fertile soil can combine
to transform oven the "Groat Ameri
can Desert" into a blooming garden.
How surprised our geographers of
twonty-fivo years ago would bo could
they drop in upon our state fair
grounds and feast their oyoa upon the
products of our prairica. That brown
stretch of map which many of our
young men will remember on their
school books representing a "trackless
and desert waato" is to-day producing
corn at the rate of fifty and
wheat averaging twenty-three bushels
to the aero. On the spot where wo
UBod'to road the old line "explored by
Lewis & Clark , " mills and founderios ,
factories and packing houses , in a city
of over ' 10,000 population , are turning
out their products and actuating in
building the fortunes of a great atato.
All thoae products find a place in our
exposition , which is intended to bean
an annual object lesson of the yearly
advance of Nebraska in material pros
perity. But back ot every
other industry must forever lie
our agricultural possibilities. Ne
braska is a great agricultural state.
The primal source of ita wealth HOB in
its soil , to bo extracted nnd converted
into other products by the industry
and labors of our farmers. Our cltiea
will grow as markets for our produce
und ovoillow depots for the surround
ing country. Our manufacturing in
terests will advance just in proportion
aa the growth of the country creates a
demand for their producto. But cltiea
and factories must owe their creation
and maintenance to the farmer who
in meeting a demand for his food
products creates in turn a demand for
labor in the city through the sale of
articles which ho exchanges for those
which ho raises at homo.
Oa thi.'i account our state fair is ,
after all , the farmers' exhibition. It
ia largely devoted to the oalo of farm
products und of articlea which enter
into their production. The shocks
of corn and the sheaves
of golden wheat will bate
to him and to others also
hardly less interesting than the im
proved agricultural machinery which
the woitorn farmer demands in his
work. The blooded stock from the
pasture , the exhibits' of homo work ,
from the dairy , from the apiary , even
the samples of our good wives , and
the embroideries of their daughters
all will possess moro than a local
interest us evidence of the solid basis
of Nebraska's prosperity. With
glorious September weather , and
an overflowing attendance , such as is
promised , our state fair , as wo said
before , will bo a grand suooess. And
every resident of our state who can dose
so should not fail to unite in making
it all that ita moat earnest promoters
desire the largest , the most comuro
hensivo , and in every respect the beat
exhibition of the kind ever held in
Nebraska.
THE persistent liars that grind the
crsnks of the railroad organs nt
Omaha und Lincoln have telegraphed
abroad and assorted at homo that
Valentino was nominated by acclama
tion , The truth is Valentino received
01 votes out of 134 , and part of these
wore votes cast for absentees that
wore attending the regular convention.
Twenty-seven of the 91 votes cast for
Valentino were those of contestants
not entitled to seats , and five dele
gates from Colfax county had stolen
their way into Valontino'u rump by
declaring themselves elected by one-
fourth of ono vote. This is acclama
tion with a vengeance.
JUDGE GROUNBB is receiving the un
stinted abuse of the entire gang of
braes-collared organ grinders. Upoi >
him they vent their wrath in the most
vindictive and malignant manner. To
him they road lectures on republi
canism and party loyalty , when their
business is nothing more nor lea than
the subversion of all republican prin
ciples to the basest of uses. Wo
apprehend Judge Crounse will survive
the ordeal. The people of Nebraska
have moro respect for the men who
are abused and villified by the cor
poration hirelings tuan they have for
the men that receive tholr praise.
THE PAXTON HOIEL.
THE BEE congratulates Messrs.
Kitchen Bros. , and the citizens of
Omaha upon the opening of the now
and elegant hotel which is nt once a
credit to the liberality and taato of its
builders and an ornament to nur city ,
The erection of such a structure on
the site of the old Grand Central
must be a source of gratification to
those whoso contributions and assist
ance made possible the building of
the first metropolitan hotel which our
city possessed. Without the Grand
Central the Paxton would have been
impossible. And nil who have in
spected the PAxton agree that it it aa
great an advance over its predecessor
an the Grand Central waa over the
old Ilcrndon house.
It ia not simply aa an architectural
ornament th'.t the Paxton is wel
comed. Generous In size , ample in
ita accommodationc , convenient in its
adaptibility to the uses for which it
was erected'its interior lilting are
on a ocalo commensurate with the
growing commercial importance of our
city. The statement may bo made
without fear of contradiction that no
building of ita size from New York to
San Francisco exhibits greater taato in
ita construction , or moro generous
concessions to the wants and comforts
of ita guoata at the expense of the
proprietors. The Paxton ia built for
the public. Other hotels are too often
constructed through a abort-sighted
policy for the pocketbooks of the pro
prietors. It ia a credit to the good
judgment of the Meaara. Kitchen that
they have been able to BOO that a well
satisfied public is in the end a better
paying patronage.
And that patronage ia certain to fol
low. First-class hotels always increase
the demand for hotel accommodations ,
Omaha liau heretofore had an unen
viable reputation in this respect. She
nocd have it no longer. The onter-
prino and liberality of the builders and
owners of the Paxton , will without
question bo rewarded in a manner
which will bo equally satisfactory to
themselves and profitable to the com
mercial intcrcsU of the city.
Fouu years ago , when James W.
Dawes was a candidate for governor , ho
also pasaed upjn the credentials of
delegates to the atato convention , act
ing in Ilia capacity as chairman of the
state central committee. There were
a number of counties contested at that
time but nobody regarded it as wrong
for Dawos to handle the credentials.
This year Dawes ii a candidate
again and will doubtlosa bo allowed to
do the same thing without question on
the part of the monopoly roustabouts.
But when Judge Crounso calls for
credentials as a member of the con
gressional committee a fierce howl noes
up from all railroad cappers about the
unheard of outrage of a man who ia a
candidate handling credentials.
A ceo it DING to the voracious Valentino
tine organs only aix delegates took
pan in the convention that nominated
Mr. Turner. Now , if that was
true , why did the convention that
nominated Valentine appoint a special
committee of throe to wait upon the
opposition dolcgatca , and why did the
Valentino rump take a rccesa for half
an hour to wait the answer of the
six boltors ? Was there over such a
thing hoard of before aa a great con
grcisional convention appointing a
special delegation to wait upon a half
a dozen absentees und holding their
convention for half an hour and wait
ing for them to come in ? Doea not
thia fact alone prove that there were
moro than a half a dozen rebellious
dolecatos ? Does it not ahow that the
boasted regularity of Vuloutino'a con
vention was not very well founded ?
VAL'.S aix dollar clerk ia throwing a
good deal of taffy nway on Mr. Tur
ner. The issues between the oppon
ents and supporters of Mr. Valentino
were squroly made. They are not
merely personal , but they involve
fixed principles , aa radically opposed
to each other as slavery and abolition.
To the republicans of Nebraska the
political despotism of the railroad
booses is aa obnoxious as were the
bloodhounds and lash of the slave
driver t the abolitionists.
THE JfyniWirciii is always enterpris
ing nnd original. It copied word for
word the biograpical sketch pf Judge
Weaver , on Saturday , which ap
peared in TUB BEK the day previous.
In copying , the JfcjiuMioiii , with ita
usual accuracy , niado a alight varia
tion from the original sketch as pub
lished in THE BEK , by planing Mr.
Weaver in the cflicj of district attor
ney , an otlico he never held , instead
of that of judge , which ho now
holds.
DR. MILLER never allows a chance
to go by of stabbing councilman who
dare to do their own thinking and
v ting. Ho is especially down on
O'Keefo and Lecdcr , because they re
fuse to bo whipped into line or
bought up. In a recent number of the
Herald it is charged that when
O'Keefe ifc Co. got through with Po
liceman O'Grady they dropped him.
This leaves an inference M If
O'ICeefe and Leader had entered into
a bargain to have O'Grady dropped.
As a matter of fact O'Koefo and
Leeder were not taken into the con
fidence of the mayor. Marshal
Angoll went to O'Grady's house in
South Omaha at ten in the morning
last Tuesday and asked him to give
iup his alar , because "they" had eoven
councilmen pledged to confirm his
successor.
The council mot early Tuesday eve
ning and dispensed with the reading
of the journal which usually takes up
forty minutes. They then pushed the
mayor's police oppointmnnta through
in hot haste. Leodor and O'Keefo
arrived in the council room a
fovr minutes later , but if the
usual course had been pursued in
reading the journal they would have
been in time , as it was not yet eight
o'clock. An incident that happened
just previously , when a policeman
rushed into Lecdor's place of busineos
in search of another councilman with
out saying a word to Lseder , shows
that the nviyor had an uiu'ctstandini ' ;
in which Lsoder and O'Kctfs were
not taken into account.
HON. M. 1C TUIINER will bo the
next congressman trom the Third
district. Two yeara ago Charles \Volfo
alone and unaupportodjplaced himself
before the republicans of Pennsylvania
as an anti-boas candidate for state
treasurer. He baaed hia claim solely
on the ground that Pennsylvania re
publicans were tricked out of the ex
pression of their political sentiment
by a corrupt machine which made and
unmade candidates at pleasure. Ho
offered himself as a representative of
that class who desire to protest against
this dangerous invaoion of the rights
of the people. Fifty thousand re
publican votes endorsed Wolfo'a
bold campaign for popular
sovereignty. Thia result vas obtained
without the formality of a nominating
convention , without party organiza
tion , without party aupport and with
no speaker in the canvas but himself.
Mr. Turner has the backing of a large
majority of the party and the aupport
of leading newspapers und a score of
able campaigners , Mr. Turner can
and ought to be elected. He is a
sound republican. lie has planted
himself cquarely on a platform which
will meet with general approval and
ho appeals for support to every mem
ber of the party who desires to vital
ize republican principles , and hopes to
830 this atato redeemed from the
thraldom of corporate monopolies.
WHAT u great outcry these knavish
stool pigeons of the U. P. make about
the course of Judge Crounso in call
ing for credentials from delegates to
the district convention. They do not
and cannot assert that an attempt was
made to disfranchise anybody or that
any duly accredited delegate who pre
sented credentials would have
been kept out of hia seat. It
has been common usage for a
number of years at each state conven
tion for the chairman and secretary to
receive credentials and issue tickets of
admission to delegates , Judge
Crounao and Mr. Whltmoyer simply
exorcised the same privilege that has
been and will bo exercised by the
state committee. What waa there
wrong about it ? If Valentino had a
clear majority of unconteatcd dele
gates ho had the convention and had
nothing to fear from the handling of
credentials through the authorized of
ficers of the congressional committee.
But Valentino did not have a clear
majority and he therefore bulldozed
the delegates into refusing to comply
with common usage
Wine Words Against Prohibition.
Chicago Triljime.
Prohibition must bo regarded by the
state , if treated intelligently , in the
light of public order , practical en
forcement , government revenue and
popular approval. If a majority of
people are willing to vote a prohibition
law , but are not willing to furnish a
standing army of policemen and con
stables to enforce it upon single com
munities which are not in favor it ,
then it is not good policy ; it is never
good policy to pass lawa which are apt
to be violated and defied with impu
nity. If prohibition laws are to be
enforced only with the club and the
revolver , then it is not good policy to
adopt them , for they threaten a dis
turbance of the peace and good order
pf the community , which is sure to ba
injurious to thu material prosperity of
the people. If prohibition retards the
growth of a now state , it is bad
policy. If it deprives the state
of an important revenue from the
manufacture and sale of liquors with
out stopping , nnd perhaps without
oven roducim ; the consumption there
of , it is bad policy. The release of
revenue by the general government
or by the local governments which is
raised from the manufacture and sale
of liquor , wine and beer , necessarily
imposes additional taxation upon the
property und inituatry of the people.
If the consumption of liquor is to go
on just the Bitme in a fcurrnplitioiu
and demoralizing way the people cer
tainly have no compensation for the
new burden of taxation , but only
submit to it in order that law and
authority may bo brought into con
tempt by humoring the prejudices of
a portion of the community. When
prohibition cannot be urged as a
practical policy , promising practical
results of real value to the people
associated in government , it should
not bo urged at all.
An Iowa Congressional Contest.
Mr. J , T , Baldwin , proprietor of

Mr. Baldwin aava that politics wax

trict of Iowa , and that if the republi
cans do not guard their interests close
ly they will lose the district. The
democrats have nominated Mr. W.
H. M. Pusoy , prominent banker of
Council Blulh , who U very popular in
the district and is making an active
canvass. The republicans are run
ning MBJ. A. H. Anrttrson , and ho ,
too , is working like n Trojan to secure
election. There are a jrrf-at many
Gormsns in the district who have
hitherto voted the republican ticket ,
but owint ; to the party action on the
prohibition question they have de
cided to cast their votes at the com
ing election for the democratic nomi
nees , in which event Mr. Anderson
will find hu road to succcas a rou h
