( THE TWO CAHDIDATEB.S
Valentino represents the power ,
preatigo and plunder gang , who have
usurped the machinery of the republi
can party in the Third district to ad
vance the interests of corporate mon
opoly , Hon. M , K. Turner appeala
for republican support as a candidate
of the people , nominated on and
pledged to n platform drawn in their
interests and backed by n record
against which criticism stands dis
armed.
Valentino nka for republican votes
on the ground of n nomination by the
majority of n pirty convention from
which nil contestants were excluded.
Mr. Turner appears as n protcstant
against the tyranny of railroad poli
ticians in rendering impossible any ex
pression of popular Bontlinotit through
what ought to bo the legitimate party
channels ,
Valentino cornea before Iho people
with n pcronal history blackened by
dinhoncety in public ollicu and reeking
with the endorsement of jjbbory and
corruption during his incumbency of n
acat in congress.
Mr. Punier points to n lifo whoso
endorsement is found in the approval
of his fficndfl nnd in the eilonco of
his cm mien , lie refers tohisaorvicea
at homo nnd in thu field , to lib un
compromising stand for the rights of
the people against the corporations in
Iho last Irgialnturo aud to the bitter
opposition with which his candidacy
is mooting from the political attorneys
I the monopolies.
Voters cf the Third district are in-
created in being nerved in congress
y an honcnt , capable and cfliciont
oprcscntativo , The state at largo ia
ono the losa intorcatod in the char-
ctor of the congressman upon whom
icir choice may fall. Lot the honest
itizuna of the district now miarepro-
onted by | E. K. Valentino compare
10 rccorda of the two candidates. It
: not a qucation of contesting par-
ca. Thu choice of either will make
o difference in the bnlance of power
n the next congress. Mr. Turner haa
eon a life long ropublicjn whoso
delity to the principles of republi-
aniam are boat known in the county
rhcre ho has lived und worked for
arty Huccaa. A man of character ,
f Hturling integrity , of uncompro-
nizing firmnoaa for what ho boliovoa
o bo the right , his selection by the
oters of thu Third district would bo
quftlly lionor.iblu to their judgment
nd creditable to our state.
Mr. Tuanur is rnnnini ; on his mcr- ,

Mu. TUUNKU has stuted that his

is vote for thu river and harbor ap-
ropriation , nnd yet that bill wan op-

Whether the river nnd harbor bill
was opposed by tiu combined railroad
niluonco or not doesu't ma ko a particle
f diffuroncd aa to the fact of its being
gigantic att-al. The truth of Iho
natter in that thu bill wan not opposed

worked to pass thu measure. No

appropriates $800,000 for thu Mis
souri nnd $14,000,000 for macademi-
zing unknown creeks and rip-nipping

AQKNT rcGiLLinunnv complains in
a private letter that Inspector
Pollock in carrying on his ir.vestiga-
tion with u high hand and that the
testimony of every jqiuw man nnd
hulf.broed is o orly accepted
against his administration of the Pine
Ilidgo Indian agency. Two paper * ,
ono signed by the loading chiefs of the
Sioux nation and the other endorsed
by the whites living on Iho ngoncy ,
have been forwarded , each of which
aek tlu.t Mr. McGillicuddy bo HUS
tallied and oowmtmd highly hia ad

It io gruatly to hu r jMttfld that n

Indiana cAonot bo doniejl , What
xtr * the aatual QDUJWI wUloJi Iwl ( o ( h
potitioii'of lied Oluiil'SBd
for.McGilIicaddy' ' removal , is the
question which the Indian depurtmont
and the Nebraska frontier are anxious
to determine. Pollock's dispatch of
a week ago is sufficient reason for his
supersod l by a competent man. It
sounded like the "hero wo are again"
of the clown to the circus ringmaster ,
nnd demonstrated clearly the unGtnoss
of the Inspector for his position. Pine
Ilidgo is tholargestof our Indian agen
cies. Its geographical size and the num
ber of Indians under the control of the
agent make fraud in its administra
tion difficult to detect. The annual
Inspection of the issuing of supplies
and the count of the Indians by tin
army officer detailed for this purpose
is admittedly a farcu. The honc&ty of
the agent is the only protection to
both the Indians and the government ,
and Indian agents aru not proverbially
honest. Agent McGillicuddy has had
the reputation of being n capable and
lionoBt oxccutivo. Thu complaints of
*
Red Cloud sooma to bu moro in the
line ot a tyrannical exercise of power
than of dishonesty in the performance
of his duties. But aa the peace of the
section of the country adjacent to
Pine Ilidgo is dependent upon an in
quiry into its affairs the agunsy ought
to bo thoroughly investigated by a
competent , impartial inspector of
sound judgment and unquestioned
fairness. Such n man Pollock docs
not appear to bo.
REPUBLIUANISM-
A few days ago the Omaha ltc } > ub-
.iciin ' gave garbled extracts from the
Columbus Journal on " .Republican
ism. " Wo reproduce the article entire -
tire that our readers may tee not
only what n ptovaricator the licpub-
'i'cm ' is , but also and mainly what
M. K. Tumor , the republican nom
inee for congress in the Third dis
trict ' , has to say.
The essential spirit of republicanism
is liberty and equality liberty of con
science , liberty of thought and liberty
of act and equality , ono man with
another , in the enjoyment nf "lifo ,
J liberty nnd the pursuit of happiness. "
Our government , "dedicated to the
proposition that all mon are equal , "
IB or should be devoted to the task of
of removing the unjust yokes which
unreasonable and grasping capital
puts upon humble and patient labor ;
guarding with jealous care und thu
moat watchful t < yoatho encroachments
of corporations upon the aov-
uign and reserved rights of the people -
plo ' ; reducing to the lowest notch
consistent with the public oafuty , thu
burdunfi of taxation , gathering no
more than in nucoesary for carrying on
tliu various f unclioim of our local and
guneral governments , and not keeping
in our troauurioa enormous suina of
money us u temptation for the rapa-
ciotia who will uteal when they get
the opportunity "by due process of
law. "
Republicanism consist * in thinking
your own thoughts and speaking your
own umitimontB , regardless of the fact
that there are nowopapurs who distort
your language , misrepresent your nun
tiinontd , traducu ycur character and
buslime yon in every way , because
thbir editor * think it ncccsaary so to
do in thu interest of n cause that they
luwu sot out to advocate against the
expressed wish of the body of the
people.
Republicanism moans cleanliness
and fairness in political methods.
While making all duo allowance for
party , hout , it must ever alund aa true
republicanism to discountenance nil
methods of the primaries and cau
cuses which will prevent thn full , free
tnil fair expression of the pooplu'a will.
Lot that hill bo recorded fully and
openly , without lot or hindrance. If
you think it not right , endeavor to
convince ) your follow sovereigns by
sound renson and fair argument that
they are in the wrong , but don't tam
per with the primaries , don't dicker
in Buntimnnts , don't trade and traffic
in grand principles , don't sell your
soul , the privilege of expressing your
honest Bontimunta in your oini way
for any poor mom of pottage. Tliero
is nothing moro priceless than liberty
of conscience , nnd there in nothing in
all thu world so valuable us thoao
forces which preserve that liberty ,
The Journal has always udvocatoi
a strong government strong in ( ho
atTootions of the people , strong bo
cnuso iiting upon the consent . . .iu
oxproauing the sentiment of the people
strong to do the right for the weaken
citizun against the moat powerful fee
which threatens , but no pirticular sei

which ignorance and rapacity , placpc

AS TO THOSE FRAUDS.
Those who perpetrate brazen frauds
are always anxious to cover their
tracks. Of the twelve hundred people
plo that wer present at the opera
louse on Thursday afternoon -when
Loran Clark was counted in by fraud ,
and forced upon the ticket by the
shoutinct and bulldozing of the corpora-
ion henchmen aided by n rascally
chairman , none l/t that hall without
the conviction th'at W. B. White waa
loncstly nominated. But the chief
organ of the diafranchishers of the
choice of the party devotes a whole
column of ljimj figures to show that
jo""n Clark was fairly nominated.
You can cram that down the throatsJ
of thoao who were not in Omaha to
witness the outrage , but all the lying
figures that Brad Slaughter and
Jrooks can produce will not satisfy
thosa who know the ttuo state of facts.
First and fororvioat , everybody who
tos present must admit that thu cons
vcntion ni the stage when Clark was
lominatcd was a incto mob , and the
mob wan incited to its boisterous vio-
once by the monopoly bosses and
nonoy sharks that backed
Clark.
The Republican intimates that this
cry of fraud is gotten up for the purpose -
pose of making n fight against Olaik
aud two congressmen. If there had
icon a design to use Clark's nomina-
ion ns a pretext for defeating other
candidates a largo number of these
who opposed him in the convention
would have voted for him. The cdi-
or ot Tun BKE nnd these who are
opposed to monopolies and jobbers
made ovcry exertion to defeat Clark
n the convention , which proves that
here could have boon no design of
using Clark as a pretext for defeating
other republican candidates. It can
lardly bo charged that THE BEK is ro-
ponsiblo for the bulldozers and strik-
rs in the convention , or for the bra
zen frauds perpetrated by Brad ,
llaughtor. These follows do not net
under ita inspiration.
What is true of the fraudulent
ounting in of Clark is equally true of
, ho fraudulent counting out of Ran"
om. Mr. Hansom had 158 votes ou
ho ballot before Powers was declared
ho nominee , and on the next ballot
over 75 votes changed from different
andidatcs to Iliusom. If the nomin
ation of Powers was n square deal ,
why did the chair refuse to announce
ho vote ? The fact that Griggs de
clared Clark and Powers nominated
> y acclamation don't in the least pal-
into the crime cotmnitod on the party.
And any amount of whitewash will
lot wipe out the stain.
EGYPT loses $350,000,000 by the

An extraordinary socialist plot was
discovered in Vienna last month.
Some time ago n shoemaker in that
city was robbed of the whole of his
email property by two mon , who nar
cotized him. On August 25th the
police issued a notice to the effect that
they had discovered the two robbers
iu question , and that the discovery
had led to the arrest of ton others
and the disclosure of an extraordinary
plot by the anarchist party. A society
had been formed among the social-
revolutionists , the tendency of whoso
propaganda and orgatiizution was to
procure money for the purpose ol
agitation , by a nystom of brigandage
and thoft. The society is divided
into clubs , whouo headquarters
is said to bo London , where
the notorious Most and his
party hold the strings. Among the
papers seized were luttois from Most ,
identifying him with the movement
Clubs also existed in Pesth nnd
Vienna. A short time ago Count
Andraasy waa mysteriously robbed of
all l'ia orders , pictures , works of art
nnd other valuables. The police at-
tnbuto this also to the aooialUta.
LET it bo remembered that no foreign
oign born citizen can vote unless his
first papers are taken out at least
thirty days baforo election. As the
state election takes placa on November
bor 8 , declaration papers must betaken
taken out by October 7 in order lo
giin the rights of suffrage.

SQUARE AND COMPASS.
[ Continued from Eig th
ble to Attend this jubilee , and hence
IIRVO had uo time whatever to gather
any Masonic ideas together. And
second , that you concede uo but a
few minutes in which to make this
response. But , my brethren , as it is
always n duly , if not always an un
mixed pleasure , to obey our present
grand master , and aa ho has ordered
mo to talk whether I have anything to
say or not , I beg your indulgence , as
I briefly allude to the four points contained -
tainod in the proposed toast aud men
tion eoino matters germane thereto ,
which have fallen under my observa
tion during my stay in Germany.
In the language of the toast it Is a
Mason's duty to _ assist in giving
"health to the sick. " I remember
when I naa in Uoruiany to have seen
n pnintini ; representing a ninn stretched
upon a bed of sickness , by his side
was the watcher with one hand upon
the p.itiont'a pulse , the other upon
liia brow. The window was open and
thu morning rays of the sun wcro
Binning in bnght and filling the room
with light , and far in the background
appeared an angel with wings ex-
[ midcd and arms extended ai if approaching
preaching [ to bear away that nulTorer.
As I looked at that picture and saw
the person sitting by the side of the
bud in the performance of that holy
duty which Masonry hes taught , I felt
ni it that nngol should bear away the
watcher along with his patient to
heaven ns was Eliaha. And my breth
ren , if Masonry has done naught else
than to teach us that it is our duty to
, 'o to the bedside of suffering humanity ,
Masonry would deserve to live , and
although it is true In Germany that
; ho brethren do not go 10 the sick
bed as they do in this country , the
reason is that in that country labor is
cheaper and skilled attendanta can
alwaya bo easily obtained for a small
compensation ; therefore thoeo skilled
attendants nro aont by the brethren.
The Masons in Grrmany nro over aa
willing to send some ono to
watch nnd care for the suf
ferer. And ray brethren it
matters not whether you bo n
stranger in that country , it matters
not that your kindred are ou the
other side of the Atlantic , if the hand
of illliction falls upon you in Germany
you will never want for some one to
: are for you who will ba a brother ,
[ n fnct , you will find it the same as in
; hia country.
And , my brethren , in the language
of the toast , it is a mason's duty to
give "aid to the needy. ' It is not
my purpose to-day to speak to you in
regard to charity , for you all know
you liavo been taught charity from
the first time you entered any lodge.
Charity is the foundation stone of our
order , and this it is which
creates. And , my brethren ,
not ouly is charity the foundation
stone of our institution , but charity is
of the eternal charity is love and
God is love , and therefore my breth
ren if all of God's gifts bo cast at
your feet aud you have not charity
you are a wretch. You have nothing ,
you are nothing.
Perhaps it may not be out of place
to-day to Bay a few words in regard to
the charity of Germany. Never is a
lodge hold 111 Germany , but it is
closed with a collection which is taken
up for the poor in that country ,
Everything has been systemized and
charity is dispensed where it will do
the most good through certain chan
nels , and certain widows and orphans
receive a certain amount every your.
It is like a pension to them.
Ono ( of the proudest hours I
ever spout was in one of their
lodge rooms. I had been invited as a
certain amount of charity was to be
dispensed. I wont to the ledge room
there. t I saw six or ton or tifcuon ill-
tc
clad women , whom I afterwards
learned 1 were widows , and ten or four
teen 1 boys about to bo confirmed into
1I
1I the I Lutheran church. I inquired into
Una I and found that the widows wcro
not i widows of Masons , and the boya
were not Mason's children ; but I am
proud 1 to say that the order had reached
1i
1j out i its hand and gene into the streets
and j brought in the widows and
orphans < , and was clothing and feeding
thorn. I That is what our order is do
ing in Germany to-day , my brethren
Are you proud of it , or are you not ?
[ I Applause. ] When I saw that Ma
sonry i had done all this in Germany
my I heart bounded within me to know
that i I was a Mason also. [ Applause. ]
In the language of the toast I find
it says there should bo "help to the
oppressed. " Man lias many oppres
sors. The tyrant that wrests money
/rom the pockets of his subjects to
carry on wars oven , is not the worst
of tyrants , but there are tyrants that
rule over the individual , ( the individ
uals which compose a nation , ) who
are far more cruel and far tnoro op-
preesivo than any tyrant that rules
over the in asses. It is not my pur
pose at this time to apeak at length ii :
regard to those tyrants. If you will
give it u moment' * ) thought that some
tyrant's heel has bean upon your head
and bowing you to the earth
from the time you arrive at ago
till the time not in creation
for you to leave this world
For itistanco , suppoao wo epoak ol
vice , or a bad habit. Why , brethren ,
that habit will follow you throughout
your life , and you will BOO its preaonco
wherever you go. The greater the Bin
still darker the shadow that is cast.
My brethren , it is your duty to roach
out your hand to assist your brother
in driving away aud breaking the pow
er of such a tyrant as that.
Lot na apeak of another tyrant , the
tyrant of poverty. That is a tyrant
and an oppressor that has oppressed
moro people than any other thut wo
can name , and multitudes toil from
morn till night in order to obtain the
necessaries of life for themselves and
their children. My friends , it is our
duty to assist in breaking the power of
that oppressor. It is very easy tor
thoeo who live in aflluenca to bo vir
tuous and honest , but it is not
so easy for ho who feels the
yoke of poverty , whoso neck
ii bowed under the heel of want and
whoso very body ia weakened by
labor , it is not BO oa y for that person a
to look up to heaven and bo what he
should be , and bo what nature intends
ho should be. On the other hand that
tyrant crushes him and bo siuka into
an early grave.
My brethren , I feel I am taking up
too much time and 1 will just allude

The second regular toast , "The
state of Nobmka the atato ot our
adoption , though ono of thoyoungnoat ,
yet rich in resourced nnd brilliant in
her prospects. " Col. 0. S. Chiso re
sponded and in the courao of a very
effective speech ho said : When J
came into this room and was told that
I had been selected to respond to the
toast of the stnto of Nebraska I said
tn 'the gentleman that toant in
ono to which any man may bo proud
to respond , It does not need n man
accustomed to respond to tonal.s or a
public speaker. Any man who lifts
lived in Nebraska could sny something
in regard to this stnto interesting to
nil hearcis. I did not ace at first
just what particular application Ma
sonry had to the tttato of Nebraska.
I know very well what may bo naid of
the atato of Nebraska in a town where
you all know it. When Masonry WAS
first organized in thii state- Omaha only
contained tlurtotii people and No-
braakn sixteen hundred' , and it vraa
described as that great American
desert. You all know that not nn
apple grow that via not a crabapple.
Hero IA n gentleman that sits on my
right that wr.s the first presiding
olliccr over the Chpitul lodge ( Lion.
John H. Saylor ) . There was also
present Hon. Alfred Jones , who used
to carry the postofiico in his hat , nnd
here is another old man that was there
that night , John Logan. Now what
has silvered their heads ? Una crime
done it or has generosity done it.
What has snatched my brothers from
these social ovila , which are not crimes
but n disease , what has done it but
Masonry ? What has made the state
of Nebraska what it is to-day , stand
ing out in the very front as ono of the
most patriotic states in the Union. In
agricultural produce it cannot be ex
celled , and the same can bo caid of
its departments of education , classical
art , ucipnco , trade , commerce , nnd
everything else. Masonry had n great
deal to do in producing theao bene
ficial results. If n rnaa who joined ua
committed n crime or mean act wo took
lim into our little room and talked
to him in n way that made him shut
up. Moro honesty wns promulgated
by Masonry throughout the sttito of
Nebraska than by nil the pulpits in
the state put togother. You may say
that thin is pretty strong language ,
but it belongs to the fr.iternity. [ ApK
plauao ] Wo don't go about preaching
in pulp ts what wo ar going to do ,
but wo get together in secret- , where
wo nuvor let our right hand know
* hat nur ieit hand douth. Tnat ia
oao of the principles which should bo
particularly cultivated. Too many
men are to ba found everywhere brag-
j of what biii things they IWVP
loiio. I do not int'fui to do it.
Laughter , ] I will talk of masonry.
After some remarks interesting only
to Free Masons , the colonel concluded
hia address with a bnlliunt peroration.
The founders of our grand lodgo.
Wo meet to-day to honor their memory
and perpetuate their worth. 1' Uo-
spondod to by P. G. M. , A. 0. Jor
dan who delivered a very line histori
cal review , is too good to bu coadonasd
and will bo published in full next
Saturday.
The toast , "The past prand master *
of our jurisdiction , brethren wunm
the grand lodge of Nebraska hai delighted
lighted to honor , " was responded to
by A. G. Hastings , who made a ahoit
but highly amusing address.
The next toast : "Our follow grand
lodges , stars of the first magnitude n
the Masonic firmament. " Koeponil Ute
to by Hon. G. B. Van Saun , G. M ,
Hon. T. S. Parvin , Hon. J. U. Bro-\u
and 0. C. Wheeler , of California.
The toast : Nebraska ledge No. 1.
Western Star ledge No. H , Capita !
ledge No. 15 "Tho three pillars upon
which our masonic edifice was erected
in wisdom , strength and beauty"
The responses were made by Hon.
Chaa. W. Seymour nnd John H. Siy-
lor. Both gontlomiiii delivered very
interesting addreaaoi , and wo re rot
want of op.ico prevents our publishing
them in full.
The last regular toast. "Our breth
ren who real from their labors , " waa
drunk in silence , llav. G. W. Scott
responded and delivered u very ap
propriate and impressive addrcta.
Col. Chaao moved a resolution of
thanks to the committee , which waa
adopted'
The following resolution waa nUo
adopted ;
That wo procure a bottle of the pur-
cat wino wo can get , and in presuncu
of the grand ledge with solemn ceremony

foctly , and close it with the proper
names of those persons who deatru to
sign it and that it be deposited safely
