to these who differ with us in opinion
wo would like to ask if railroad com

men for attorneys who are dishonest
or incapable ? Did any railroad over
employ Moore , of York , as an attor

No they did not. The railroads
are not in Iho hnblt of employing doc

railroad company has over employed
Mr. Moore because he Is n man that

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
The campaign in the Third district
against n corrupted party machine and
the supremacy of Nebraska monopolies
has opened. The roujing rally of Sat
urday evening at Fremont was the
opanlng gnn , and the onRafjomont
from now until November 7t' ' < will bo
general , Senator Van Wjck's mas
terly speech , to which wo devoted so
much * pace yesterday , struck the key
note which will find a rcipon-
slvo chord in the breast of every
republican who prefers the ap
proval of hii honest convictions
to the prahcu and favon of the mo
nopolies. In protesting npainat the
catididncy of E. K. Valentino nnd
Loran Clark , the revolting republi
cans declare thumimlvcn M ttaunch
defenders of thu cardinal principles of
true republicanism. T.'iuy are fight
ing u,7nintt n corrupt machine which
instev ! of trgintrring thowill of the
party hfiH b i-n prrvtrtcd into nn or-
n for Iho iintmifiicrurc ) of monopoly
cnndidntu.i. They nro protcnting
ftinot the dccuinu that a republican
nomination in equivalent to nn elec
tion , however notoriously cotrupt the
candidate or flagrant the means adop
ted lor foisting him upon the people
[ or their support. And finally they are
undcavoring to show to the self-con-
tituted leaders of the party that they
will neither bo cajoled or threatened
into endorsing men whoso records fiivo
the Ho to their profcBoiotio , nnd whono
success would moan the prostitution
of the party will to the vennl gang of
the corporation attorneys who preside
ever ito councils.
But the Fremont rally w.io not alone
Iho opening of the campaign in thu
Tliird district , It was n bold note of
difinnco , which will ring in
ovury county of tlio ntuto bo-
[ ere the ballot boxes nra closed
on the 7ih of next Novcnibur. Mr.
Turner's cnndil cy in the third dis
trict hn8 a connlcrpurt in D.Moore's
opposition to Jim Liird in the second ,
with the exception th.tt Mr. Turner
was nominated bj republicans nnd
endorsed by the anti-inonnpulists ,
while Dr. Moore , clthougha republi
can , Imn received u straight out unti-
monopoly nomination iilone. Tlio
came questions nro involved in both
dialricl.H , nnd the mime corrupting in-
lluoncfta will bo brought to bear by
the ngonta of the inonopultM to
dore.il HID hclplos.i c.uididaten.
No carnjiuiyn win ever won without
organisation. Every voter who do-
xH to muko liia influence felt in the
coming election , must do aomothiitg
Jiisidn merely cnuting his vote for a
reformed party organization and the
defeat of the monopoly candidates.
If each opponent of n corrupt ma-
ohino nnd corporation candidate will
take oil' his coat and work for the
cause , the vioto'-y , which is now in
sight , will become an asuurcd fact.
SENATOH SAUKUKK * Inquired at
Fremont on Saturday , "whut is thu
use of party conventions if you don't
stand by them ? " The ueo of party
conventions is to register the party
will ; nothing olso. Just as soon as
they fail to do this they niu useless.
When the party convention becomes
only the medium for pushing forwnrd
candidates in whom the party hns no
confidence and in counting out these
who would roccivu cordial support nt
ho polls , they ought not to bo en
dorsed by honest voters. The
refusal of the party to "ntand
by" such fraudulent gatherings
of political blnoklcga ia the
only way to provo to their proniotero
that they are "no use. " And this is
precisely what the republican revolt
Is intended to nccomplish , In refus
ing to "stand by" the nominee of
Vnl's , convention in thoThird district ,
republicans are endeavoring to pro
test in the only way in which protest
can bo cflcctive , against the gross sup
pression of party aontimout which was
responsiblojfor his nomination. They
nro endeavoring to provo that monopo.
ly conventions nro no lciuor ; of "uso"
in forcing honest voters into an un
willing support of candidates whom
they baliove to be incapable and dis
honest. They nro trying to make it
clour that the political attorneys of the
railroads cannot pledge in ndvanco the
voters of the republican party of Ne
braska as endorsers of their mon
opoly slate. In breaking the slate
they are showing their ability to elect
any ticket on which the nominees are
H'lcqtod in accordance with thu true
sentiment of the party. _
republicans foal confid
ent of electing their candidate for
governor , although the democrats
may possibly carry the logislaturo.
Thu state is greatly divided over the
question of repudiating or bcalin ? the
state' debt. Thu republicans favor n
compromise of sixty cents upon the
dollar , while the democratic camp can
not decide whether to allow the bond
holders anything. Tlio debt payers
will accordingly uupport the republi
can gubernatorial candidate nnd hope
to okot him on this i no.

Mr. Chairman , lilies and Oenlltmcn :
Wo ere nt the threshold of ono of

country ofjours dotcrmlno the peoples
wiah and the peoples will concerning
public mittcra. The aovoral political
parties hnvo selected their standard
bearers and unfurled their 'banners
to the broc/.a 01 public opinion. It
now booomca the duty of the voter to
make hid chuico ainonj ; those whoeo
niipport will divide the bcdy of citi

welfare , r.nd secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselvrs and onr posterity ,
and to every olcinont of that govurn-
merit have been assigned its special
work and functiotiB.
It is the people's prerogative to
make known their will by public
epoLch , by communt and criticism in
thu public prcns , mid by the utternncrn
of political ccmvcnliuna. Li u pjuvorn-
mont by the people it in not to bo ex
pected that nil will think alike on thu
questions that come up for settle
ment. In timcu past thu diHortmces
have boon so vilitl oven to the very
oxibtcmco of our government , th.it it
was only by thu utmost exertion , by
the expenditure of viut wealth , nnd
at the low of thousands upon thous
ands of precious liven that this hori-
tngo from urr fathcro linn been pro-
cor. veil to us. The institution which

ours is roused to action.
Is there impending Jangorl Doni
any institution threaten onr liberties'
Is there a "tnmiuco to the equal rightt
of nil persons ?
Lot us state oomo facts , that thest
questions may ba answered. Fifty
ycara ago there weru in operation in
this country just 23 miles of railroad ,
Now there are 105,000. The groso
earnings of the roads in 1831 , as re
ported by friendly authority , were

the capital tttock of the railroada in
$3,195,438,100 , , and thu number of
puraons employed by them in 1881
wore 1,000,000 , or about ono thirty-
Hocond of our population. It is safe
to say that there is an average of four
persona dependent for support on
each of these employes , making one
eighth of our population directly in
terested with our railroads. Thi'so ,
with their friciidi ) , muko a strong
gt ,
Tluso figures chow , better than any
thing else eould , the very rapid de
velopment of the railroad interest
In this country , and whut n huge mi-
gino for mischief it might be iiiiido in
the hands of designing inun , if un
checked by tha general public.
All intelligent men concede that
corporations nro justified in exorcis
ing even n little of that selfishness
that falla to the lot of individuals , and
dictates to them the propriety of tak
ing care of themselves , but in the
doing of this they should not encroach
on the just rights of others. While
railroads aru indispensable to the
transaction of business in a civilized
nation in theto times , it is not an indispensable -
dispensable condition that th6y shall
have more than belongs to them ; they
should bo satitlibd with a reaionabk
share of thu general prosperity , and
wherever and whenever they are in <
clincd to ekaot exoibltant prices foi
what they do the authority of lav

shall not doYhat have wa BOOI. ?
Wo have noon lauda and monoyc
given away to these corporations b >

pany extend aloni ; the line of the roac

bor of tons mined by them in the lasl
oven years ending in 1881 , wort
2,397,012 , t u average cost of $1.2 !
per ton , Daring that time they hare
Bold to indivsduals 715,484 tons at nn
average of $5.75 a ton. The amount
Bold to individuals in 1881 was 193,032
tons at ? 4 CO per ton. You know
what you pay for the 0 rbon , Hock
Springs , Almy and Grass Creek coal ,
and you can figure up for yourself
what this coal business meanc for this
country , and what a wonderful thing
it would bo In the dovflopmen. of Iho

could Bay to the world , "Wo have at
our back door in the mountains coal

stations. "
We Imvo teen that mpy men who
are compelled by the business in
which they nro engaged to ship largo
amounts of their goods upon the rail
roads scarcely dare call their souls
their own , and while they feel moro
keenly than any olhera the oxactiono
of the companies , nnd know more
than any others do the discriminations
by the companies which mike some
dealer * rioh and other dealers poor ,
they duro not to nmong their fellowmen -
men to influence them in their politi
cal action to secure equal jtiaticu to all
intcicsis , and compel railroad compa
nies to do the business of the public
ut rcMonnblo rates.

Wo hnvo aeon newspapers , which
should everywhere bo trumpets to

whure freomcn can proclaim their in
most thoughts on pudlicsubjects , pur-
ohnecd by railroad and other
corporate monopolies , and con

several political parties. Thank fort
une that in this state , in the good
year of 1882 , there tuo comparatively
few of these orgnne , and that the
country press especially , as n body ,
have no sympathy -with such work ,
and these city papers which advocate
the cause of thu people , as against the
monopolicij , receive the thanks of the
people and their support.

§ 5,000 offered by that same lieuten
ant governor in the interests of a
railroad company to said committeeman -
man , if wo may bolicvo his testimony
under oath.
And what was done about ill
Probably not fifty mon in the cntiro
utatci can ( rive you anything like a
clear nnd full account of that whole
performance , including the names of
these of your senators nnd represen
tatives who thought the olllciab de
served conauro so little impression
do fluch things make.
Wo have seen a community try to
rid _ itself of high rates by giving aid tea
a rival railroad , which , as soon us com
pleted nnd hi running order , pools
with the old road , and leaves the
community to the knowledge
that only the nation , by its
legislature composed of mon
earnestly in favor of the rights of "tho
many , as against privileges for the
few , " can successfully deal with this
giant power , which threatens to have
its ooltish way in all things.
Wo have seen men employed by
railroad companies to do their politi
cal work , look after the primarily , setup
up the pins on the political ton-pin
alloy , select the ' 'boys" that ara to
run the mnchini ) of the county conven
tions , and themselves do most of the
work ut the higher conventions of the
stnU > , and during the oosaionn of the
legislature. Who does not know
that thuao mun nro bottorvorsod in the
transactions of your acnato and house
of representatives , especially in every
thing touching railroad matters , than
nine > tuntha ot Iho members elect , and
who does not know that while tht in-
tercitsof the public may bo neglected ,
that of the railroads is well attended
to by these mon whoso wages are high.
Is it any wonder that railroad oflicmh
aoknowlodgn to the use of money
spout in influencing elections , and in
influencing legislators af tor election ?
The legislative committee that investi
gated the management of the Erie
railroad in 1873 , concluded its report
v/ith theee words : "It is not reason
able to suppose that the Erie railway
has been alone tu the corrupt usu of
money for the purposes n HI nod ; but
the sudden revolution in thu direction
of this company hna laid biro a chap ,
tor in the recent history of railroad
management , such as has not bcon
permitted buforo. It oipocs the
reckless and prodigal use of money ,
wrung from the people to purchase
thu election < f the people's represent
atives nnd to bribe them when in of
fice. According to Mr , Gould , his
operations extended Into { four dif
ferent states. It was his custom to
contribute money , to influence both
nominations and elections. " This re
port w s made nine years ago and has
never contradicted that I know of ,
and is probably true of more states
to-day then then , and In moro instan
ces. On this branch of the subject
a moro recent utterance is nearer the
mark. The third semiannual report
of the railroad commissioners of the
state of Georgia , submitted May 1st ,
1681 , says ;
"The moral and social consequences
of those corruptions are even worse
than the political ; they are simply op-
palling. We contemplate them with
anxiety and dismay. The demorali
zation is worse than that of war be
cause fraud Is meaner than force and
trickery moaner than violence. Aside
from their own corruptions , the
opeiators aim directly at the
corruption of the preci nnd the gov
ernment. * * * * Worse even
than a purifying storm would be , i )
this malaria in the air , which poitonn
nil the body politic , and corrupt thj
? outh of the country by presenting
Iho highrst prizes of society to its
most unscrupulous nnd unworthy
members. "
Wo have soon that our state has one
method for assesaing the property of
the ordinary citizen , nnd another and
n different method for assessing that
) f the railroads , the latter being done
by n stnto board of equalisa
tion , consisting _ of the eovcrnor ,
treasurer nnd auditor , nnd that there
has never been very much complaint
by the railroad companies no to their
assessments. Docs nnybody wonder
that the rnilrosd companies of this
stnto take such a lively interest in our
political conventions 1 The republi
can party of the third congresslonnl
district pledges itself to an earnest
endeavor to nboltsh the state board of
equalization no that the people's prop
erty and the railroad company's prop
erty may bo assessed in precisely the
samn way. This plank of our platform
in the only one which wo have
seen ajsailcu by any of the news
papers recognized us railway organs ,
although nil of them heap nbuao upon
the candidates who represent the in
terests of the pooplo. [ A newspaper
is like n man , in the respect that you
may know what it is by thn com
pany which it keeps , and also by the
company which it dpea not keep ; by
the opinionu which it expresses , and
also by the opinions which it docs not
express. ] What moro have wo seen ?
With no ntraining of the eyes wo
see men who run for pllico in the in
terest nnd at the bidding of railroads ;
nnd officials elected by the votes ot
the people , who como and go , who
tall ; and vote r.t the dictation of the
political attorneys of the railroad
companies.
Why is it necessary to enumerate
thceo raattprs ? Only to bring to
mind the influence which the railroad
corporations have , nnd the manner in
which they use it. The proper em
ployment of their capital for the fur-
thorancn of their legitimate business
is not objectionable , but on the con
trary , eminently praiaoworfhy in
them , no in any other. But when they
attempt to interfere corruptly in the
political affaire of unr country it is
liigh tiino to cnll u halt. When a few
of the railroad kings who hnvo arnngaed
their millions from exorbitant tolls
upon the commerce of the country ,
can by n few minutca meeting in ono
of our cities , as Grocloy said , in-
ctx'MO the rate of transportation over
their lines 20 to 30 per cent. , and
thus levy tribute upon i-voiy bushel of
grain that goca to maikor , and every
bnlo of goods pissing inland , " it ia
lsi h time that the people were Bay
ing to thoeo railroad kings , who have
yroatcr power than the mimnrchs of
Europe , that such arbitrary uoj
of our public highways shall cease ,
nnd that the general government shall
no control them that the producer
shall havn n just share of the profits
on his product , and the shipper not
bo at the mercy of an irresponsible
power , which may nt any moment ,
without previous notice , change the
price of transportation , thus making
business n moro lottery of chance
Whnn men who buy stock , or grain ,
or lumber , or coal , nnd who
have to depend on the rail
road companies to transport thejo
commodities cannot have , cno dealer
with another , an equal chance , but
some ono or moro have a secret re
bate by which competition is lessened ,
legitimate trade destroyed and the
public robbed , then it is time for that
public to say with Jefferson , "equal
nud exact justice to all men ; " with
Lincoln , the republican party a first
choica for thapresidency , "lotus hero
highly resolve that this nation , under
God , shall have a now birth of free
dom , and that government of the people
ple , by thu people , and for the people
shall not perish from this earth. "
The owners of railroad property
need to listen to some plain , simple ,
unvarnished truths that they will not
hear perhaps from any other source
than the people who suffer at their
hands , and not from them unless they
make themselves hcurd nnd felt in the
.legislative halls of of our states and
nation , by the enactment of laws , and
in the courts of justice by their strict
enforcement.
Let us cay to these owners of the
billions of railroad property that the
differences between them and the body
of .the people must bo nettled ;
setfled upon sound business
principles and in the interest of public
peace nnd prosperity. They should
be reminded ot the fact that every
species of property needs the protec
tion of law , nnd that statutes aru un
able to enforce themselves , but must
ba backed by that public opinion ,
which in n Government by the people ,
is the final arbiter of all our social dif
ficulties. In other words it Is the
dictate alike of common sense nnd
jutticn , that the public tranquility bo
preserved by enactments secur
ing persons and places against
unjust discriminations and ex
tortionate rates , and this cannot
long bo delayed without danger. Self-
prctervation is the first law of nature ,
applicable to nations as well as to in
dividuals , and the American people ,
while they are lonij suffering , are yet
I'otormiiied to maintain their rig Fits
