BUOWN will poll ono of the heaviest votes over scoured by any legislative candidate in the state , i His anti-monopoly record is above question. IL JUDOI : MAHON is howling himself hoarse over tbo uad record of Senator Van Wyok , but ho is aa silent as an oyster over the grave charges made against his own professional caroor. HICIIAHD O'KKKFI : is the present cfliciont councilman of that numo. As county comrniEsionor ho will bring to the oflico tbo experience which ho has gained in his office of councilman , Ho Trill bo elected by a round majority. TUB contest is now between Hon. M. K. Turner and W. II. Mungor. Every ropublicin who is interested in the control of national legislation by the republican party should cast his vote for Turner. LOIUN OLAUK , who was nominated by fraud , will bo defeated by P. D. Sturdovandt , the anti-monopoly can didate for state treasurer , who is nUo on the democratic ticket. Mr. Slur- dovant'a election will teach the conven tion bosses that they can rush through candidates against the popular protest , but they can't always olcct them. MKKHIIH. TUIITLK , Brown and O'Koofo were talked of by the work- ingtnon before their nomination by the democrats. Mr , Turtle was de cided upon a week before the demo cratic convention mot. The ohargo that the farmers' and workingmon's movement is a democratic side-show is disproved by thcso facts. The democrats - crats shrewdly endorsed what they know would bo the workingmen'a can didate * . This is all the uiilk there ii to that oocoanut. TUB workiugmon and farmers have stood together in the nomination of an excellent legislative ticket. Every candidate on it can confidently appeal to the voters of Douglas county for support on the ground of lib fitness for the place. It is a representative ticket which has ignored no class of voters who desire recognition. Now lot the workingmen stand together in their support of their nominees. Lst no gin mill bargaining or barter break their ranks , Hard work under the present excellent organization will win the day. It will elect every man on the ticket by good majorities. What the worktngmen of Douglas county need to look out for is division in their ranks through the emissaries of the railroads working under tbo of friends. REGISTER. THE J3KF. again calls upon every citizen of Omaha who has not al ready had his name placed on the registration lists to see to it nt once that ho is registered. Under the present loose system of regis tration in Omaha hundreds of vo ters fail each your to cast thnir balloto , while many others nro forced to aivcar in their votes at the polls. Ono moro registration day remains boCoro election. Registrars will ait t in every ward on Monday for the purpono of adding to and correct ing lists. Lot every voter bo euro that his name is on them. FRED BEIIM. Mr. Fred Bohm has been placed on the formers and workingmen'a ticket in llio pine a of I'.it Ford , who has de clined , Some woriingmon nro trying to malto capital out of the fact that Mr. Bohm voted against paying the city laborers two dollars and voted in favor of giving them § 1.87. Mr. Uchrn is n tquaro up and down man , who votes on his convictions. There are only nix men employed by the city ns common laborers. The largest number that has over been on the ) ny roll in thirty. , Every ono knows , hat § 1.87 a day was good wagca for common labor. It was 12i cento moro than other labor wag getting inthocity. Mr. Bohm waa a representative of the ax-payers , and a largo portion of our .ax-payers in Omaha are working men. The payment of $2.00 a day , aa demanded by the few laborers working for the city , would have juilt up a preferred class of laborers and bencflttcd no other working man. Common labor during the summer las varied from $1.CO to $1.75 a day and when the city pays 12\ cent * moro lobody haa any right to find fault. If ho city paid $5 a day it would not mine the price of common labor a dime. Mr. Biihm'e vote waa for fair wages and in the intoroata of the class of laboring man who pay taxes , while t did not in the least nlFoct those who do not pay taxes. In every other ro- * spoet Mr. Bohm line always voted for what ho buliovod to bj right , lot the conacqaencoa bj wlmt they may. That is the sort of man wo want for , hu log'mlaturu. BO YOUR OWN VOTING. Working men ot Umaha , do your own voting. There nro men who claim that you can bo driven to the > olln under the whip of the railroad joocca , Provo to them that they lie. Having placed n strong legislative jckot in the field support it unani mously. The two pirties have used you long enough to pull the railroad chestnuts out of the firo. Do your own voting. The vote of n working man is as good aa the vote of a railroad man ager. It counts juot ai much on election day. Lot the men who call you "hood lums" before election bog in vain for your support when they got in a tight fix. There is no reason why they ohould depend on you to pull them out. out.Do Do your own voting to assort your own manhood. Support your own nominees , because they are your nom inees , and because they are the best which nek the popular endorsement at the polls. With a full vote of the mechanics und laborers of Omaha the entire ticket nominated will bo triumphantly elected. MR. VINING'H DENIAL. .Tho following letter has boon re ceived from E. P. Vining , Esq. , freight trallio manager of the Union Pacific railroad : UNION PAOU-IO UAIMVAY Co. , ) OKNKHAL FUKKWT Du-AKTMKNr , > OMAHA , Nob. , Nov. , 1882. ) Kiliuinl Itommutir , IJ. ' | , Filltor L'.illy IV , Oumlit ; m I BOO that your issue of this owning contains u paragraph purporting to bo un extract from a letter written by mo to Messrs , Harri son and Richards , of San Francisco. As an not of justice to the Union Pa- clfio Railway company , rather than to myself , I would respectfully ask that you publish this as my denial that I over wrote to that effect to bithor Messrs , Jlorriuon.and Richards or to any other parties , or that I over said anything which could justly bo' tor. turod into uny such statement. The avticlo is entirely without foundation , nnd I think those who are acquainted with mo will do mo the jintico of believing - lioving that if I wished to say anything - thing of tno kind I should uao the Knglieh language moro correctly thah it la uaod in the paragraph referred to. A-doninl to Ihu same geiwral ell'cct as this wjs promptly published in the San Francisco puper in which the article upon the subject first ap- afd. YOUIB truly , K , P. VININO , Freight Trallio Manager. Wu print Mr. Vining'a denial us re- quested. It is the first contradiction vo luvo seen of the eUtument made by Mr , Robert J , Harrison , of San Francuoo , on the evening of Ane ; . 24th , That statement was to the effect that the firm of Richards & Harrison of which he was a member had been the object of prosecution on the part of Uio Union & Central Pacific rail- waya bocaueo they refused to bind themselves by contract to ship all goods from the eaat by the transcontinental tinental routo. Ai the result ot this refusal Mr. Jlichards asserted that his firm was compelled to pay an addi tional tribute of $50 per carload and although twice requested In n mandatory tone by Mr. Vining to se cure a contract with the joint com. panics , they declined the proffered ex tortion , preferring independence to slavery. In consequence of Mr , Vm- ing's courao the firm , on August 9 , 1882 , wrote another letter to the gen eral freight agent of the U , P. nil- way company calling attention to the fact that Mr. Vining was persecuting their shippers by discriminating againit their agencies in Idaho and Montana , and in the course of which allusion was made to the throat which had boon made , "If you continue to light us wo will fight you , and prevent you soiling a einglo bottle in Idaho or Montana. I will put your rates so high you can't got there , and give others special rates , which will keep you out. Wo deal with fighting houses tbo same as with a competing road , to the bitter end , or wo stand in with them , and then protect them with rates. " In response to a special invitation to bo interviewed by J. C.Stubbsgen eral freight agent of the Central Pacific railway , Mr. Harrison called on Mr. Stubbs , who intimated that Mr. Vin ing'a throats did not moot with his approval or endorsement. Ho said that the policy of the 0. P. R. 11. company waa not to oppress , but that their principles were magnanimous. Ho could not pcrcoivo why ho ohould bo held responsible for Vining's at tempt at boycotting , aa the Central Pacific was never known to bulldoso any ono. This ia Mr. Harrison's statement , as against Mr. Vining's. Wo cannot but think that in the vast correspon dence of his oflico the trilling and un important letter nentioned must have slipped Mr. Vining'a mind. Mr. Vining has nothing to say In condemnation nation off the atrocity of the senti ments contained in the letter , but is greatly agitated over the misuse of the English language. Torturing shippers Is evidently a much less criminal oflonsa in his eyes than tor turing the queen's English. But donibl or no denial , and Mr. Harrison's word atands against Mr. Vining'a. Every merchant in Nebraska knows that the policy of the railroads in this etato hiu been precisely that proclaimed BO boldly in the letter rend an coming from E. P. Vining. The words may bo disclaimed but the policy atandc. And men who are dependent - pendent upon the f.wor of the monop olies for their business existence are not fitted to represent the people in any contests against the corporations. OTHjill LANDS THAN OURS. Parliament has been busily engaged in the discussion of the cloture or moving of the previous question ns a method of parliamentary procedure for stopping debate. Mr. Gladatono'a proposition contemplates a majority vote as carrying the cloture while the opposition insist upon two-thirds of the members present being necessary to pass the motion , The objections urged against this innovation in the English parliament are curious. Ono is that cloture is only practiced in coun tries where universal suffrage and salaries for mombera are the rule.jJTlio argument is that in Great Britain a restricted Buflrago and the necessity of bearing his own expenses brings to the front men of such character for members of parliament that no cloture is necessary. Mr. Gladstone , how ever , is confident that his plan as first proposed will pans and declares re straints of unnocccsary debate of the very highest importance. The ses sion will bo prolonged until the ouos. tion is definitely settled. Parnell holds his place aa leader of the Irish national party unmoved at the charges and imprecations hurled against him from nil sldca by the extremist - , tromist branch of the old Land League. So far as can bo loirnod he hr.3 with him a large mujorlty of the strongest leaders of the Irish move ment. His policy which is continued agitation for homo rule within the limits of the constitution is ono which gives him an advantage In parliament ary discussion , which ho never could have obtained when both parties were declaiming against what they called incendiary programme of the Land League. That the Land League has accomplished moro _ than it's origin ators eve'r imagined is scon in the quiet operation of the land courts. Meanwhile crime is diminishing in Ireland , and there is an evident and growing determination on thojpart of the mass of English constituencies to treat the KmcnUd Isle with aomo show of fairness. The Irish question h not likely to attraot much ottnntion ut the present session , as tht > nloturu debate will ooaupy the extra time before - fore adjournment. Ktifiland shows no intention of abandoned Egypt , and 11,000 troopj remain in the land of the khodivo. To bo sure , Loid Duiferin has assured the lultitn that her majesty's govern ment have no other object in view than the pacification of the country , but the continental press no doubt ox- proas the general opinion when they declare that Egypt has already become an English colony. The temptation to protect jthe Indian empire by main taining armed garrisons at the en trance and outlet pf the ratal will probably ba tooVstrong to bo overcome. Actual annexation is , of course , not anticipated , bat "concessions" will bo demanded from the porto and khcdivo , which will place Eeypt practically under the control of England , civilly , and entirely so aa a base for military operations. The reorganization of the army undcrBakerPasha nnd the visitoi Lord Duflorin to Alexandria , are indi cations which are moro than signifi cant. Franca is experiencing a so'rios' anarchistic troubles which nro duo largely to the weakness of the govern ment under M. Grovy ? The great majority of the French people nro ais- poood to bo law abiding and to sus tain the present republic , but the government is not strong enough to rcproso tporadio cases of disorder ] \ko \ thooo which have recently broken oul among the miners. The government Is n compromlao , nnd merely holds the balance of power between the adverse faction ? of despotism and anarchy. In the chamber of deputies it is claimed that there are not less thsnnino distinct organised gronpa or parties. Aa long ns no ono of them fools strong enough to find its occasion in the overthrow of the government. Franco is reasonably secure ; but if , untor- tunatoly at any time a successful at tempt ia made to disturb the equilib rium which trembles in the balance , it will bo nlmoat impossible to restrain the pent up forces of socialism , and Franco will bo called on to undergo ono of her periodic ordeals of revolu tion , with no possibility of foretelling when its end will come or whal bloody course it will run in the mean while. Italy's first election nndor the en larged franchise took place on Sun day. Instead of 600,000 electors , 0,000,000 were given the right to vote for members of parliament , and the voting was by departments instead of by communes. The result was a largo ministerial majority , with a slight In crease in the republican contingent. Prooporous times as much as any other cause gave the popular endorse ment to Prime Minister Doprotis nnd the policy of the loft. The annually decreasing surplus of the treasury , of which EO much wao made during the canvasB , waa duo entirely to the in- croaao from luxation. But the facts remained that under Signor Deprclis the grist tax had been abolished , the Buflrago extended , the school system improved and the pay of teachers in creased and railroads extended in all directions. The recent speech at Stradolla of Signer Daprotis waa note worthy , not only because it showed Europe of the peaceful inten tions of the ministry , but be cause it presented in a forcible way.tho claims of the Left to the gratitude cnjiupport of the coun try. ' Signor Doprotis is probably not a great statesman , but ho is the only man of his party who can inspire at once confidence and respect. The Italian people can thoroughly reaped the chivalrous character of Cairoli , but it is impossible for them to have any confidence in him as a statesman , and while they can rocogniro the abilities of men like Orispi and Nicotoni , they can have no respect for such unprin cipled politicians. Doprotis is able , experienced in public affairs , cautious , and , in a word , an eminently safe man. Ho might not bo able to carry the country through a great crisis , bat ho is entirely able to conduct the government in an intelligent way and to avoid quarrelling with foreign gov ernments or to provoking dissatisfac tion nt homo. A weeding out process is going on In the Ilustian army , General Vanes - os cy , the minister of war , endeavor ing to remove all the corrupt and tyr annical oflicbrs. It is a very difficult task , but within the Innt three months Homo progress haa boon made , and nine officers , ranging in rank from colonel to captsic , have boon cashiered and exiled to Siberia for life. At the present time the minister has 7f other officers on the black list , moat of whom are expected to share the same fato. French rule is quite as firmly es tablished in Algiers as British rule in India. It is backed by 60,000 troops and a governor general. From this solid base It will bo easy to extend French influence and rule into the adjoining state of Tunis on the ono hand and Morocco on the other. The movement toward the absorption of Tunis has already made good head way , Morocco's turn will conio as soon as the projected railway from Al giers across the Sahara to Timbuctoo shall be put in operation. For many yeara France haa had a colony in Seno | ambia. With this colony ii now proposed to connect the African settlements on the great river Niger by a railway 1,000 milca long , stretching from the uavlaablo waters of the Senegal to the Niger. Such a railway will give Franco a footing in : ho southwestern Soudan and a tempt ing outlook toward railway connect ions with the Congo river und all the vast hidden resources ot the country explored by Livingstone and Stanley from the lake country on the uppar Lusllabi to the plains crossed by Cam eron on the "divldo" between the Congo and the Zambezi. It is this magnificent southern outlook that 1 impelling the French government now to hasty treaties with the Congo river native chiefs , as n moans of disputing with Belgium for the possession o the railway roato from the mouth ol the Congo to the river above the falls a preliminary survey of which has recently contly boon made by Stanley under the Belgium flag and protection. Austrian law is rigorous as to chil dren , and none under 10 years of aqo are permitted to work in any factory. Children between 10 and 12 years ol may enter a factory when provided with a municipal permit , granted by the rcqncst cf parent or guardian. To got this permit the authorities re serve the right to decide whether erne no the work Is suitable for a child i ! the factory pursuit will be in nn in dustrial school , or of n kind com patible with schooling , and its dura tion is also strictly regulated. OLD settlers who lived in Omaha in the early days will remember tha visits from Indian chiefs who wcro very important in their own ey s were of frequent occurrence. About over ] day A now buck would put i , . n appearance pearanco with the words "Mo big chief , give mo ten cents. " Omaha politica is just now troubled with the "big chiol" nuisance. A number o blatherskites who hang around saloons for the drinks are inviting candidates to moot them ns big chiefs and baiter for the votes which they think the ; control. They are "big chiefs" in their own mind and want the "ton cents. " Candidates will do well to turn the cold shoulder to thoao Impostors They are chronic dead beats who are "on the make. " They possesses neither means nor influence and can' control ton votes in the city. The workingmen nro not willing to bo bought nnd Bold by these men or b ] any ono olso. They have nominated their ticket nnd they intend to back it by their votes. THEY nro coming. The B. & M construction trains nro moving into Oass county for the campaign. Ono of these boarding houses on wheels has recently recruited in Omahn Just before they were ordered to the sent of war nt South Bend the gang numbered only eighteen men , while now they rauatorforly-fivo ablo-bodied voters. Another construction train has boon ordered to South Bond from Johnson county. South Bend mual bo a strategic point in CARS county politics.

To Jtimts P. Jll.uk , hecrotarj : DEAU Sin : I have received notice of my nomination by the working- men's and farmers' convention ycstor day for representative to the U'giala turo. I accept the nomination for the fol lowing reasons : The republican convention in its nominations has wholly ignored the farming interest and the whole coun try outaido of Omaha , putting in nom ination n solid city delegation , leaving the leading industry of the state , and n very important ono of our country , with practically no representation. The democratic nominations equally ignore all western Douglas county. This is neither fair nor right , es pecially in view of needed legislation upon agricultural questions. True , I was asked to accept a nomi nation by the republican convention , but with the nndcistandinij that I would "support our policy und candi date , . " 1 will never go to the legislature except as a member free to do what I believe to bo right , aa questions present sent themselves , and never pledged in advance to support anybody's policy , jxcopt to represent to the best of my knowledge nnd ability the interest of all my constituents.
