BOI.TINO has become so common in Nebraska that anti-monopolists do not feel hurt when they nro called noiutnnt democrats. AH long as Air.

Suel fiulon i neither disrepuUble or in con llict willi the ptinoiplru of any purty. In the language of Mr. Stick l , parties are at boat only the mentis to the on J. If by fuiing an honest and competent man can be elected to lake the pl&eo ol .1 diahonoRt and incompetent one , fusion i.1 porfeclly legitimate. But Nebraska hnsbeon sodifgraced andmiaroproscntcd in the state and national legislature by men who were folntod upon the re publican parly by railroad bosses that it bucomn a matter of ufcsoluto nccosaity and Eolf-proservation for nil who dcairo bolter government to unite upon candi daten thai will represent them and their interests and will voice Iho sentiments of the pnoplo iiiBtcad of being more dummies and tooli of monopoly. In Missouri and West ATir- ginia the republicans have fused with.tho grccnbackorn who have nothing in corn- mod with each other except to dofoit Iho confederate democracy. Down in Mis souri the democratic papers nro railing at fuaion and abusing the fusionists as being devoid of principal and hon or , but in Nebraska the republi can papers denounce the futlou uolwcon democrats and anti-monopoll&ta os a political monstrosity. The parly lash may bo swung furiously over the head of thobigoted ] partisan withjnomo effect , but for the mnos of the people who do their own thinking and their own voting the club of the party bully has no terrors. Fus ion within itself cannot bo made odious or disreputable. It is only where an at tempt in made to Biibatituto shams and frauds for rnforin and impoao upon the people andidaton whoso career ia nt variance with the prin ciploi which they profess , that fusion becomes a moral monstrosity , Fuaion on Oharlcn II. Brown and Captain Stlck- clia perfectly proper because both of thoao men are true oxponcntn of the popular sentiment in thin Btato. But when it in attempted to combine the votca of democrats and anti-monopolista upon J. Sterling Morton , a life-long railroad lobbyist and pronounced monopolist , thoru can bo no harmonious union of the olomontn that are to bo fused , ovmi though Dar/ca ia inferior in point of ability to Morton and is smirched moru or lead with the school land frauda and mal-administration. The republican anti-monopolists may refuse to vote for D&WCB and ucratch hia name , but they will not stultify themselves by voting for Morton. Our advice altv.iya lias boon to all who dcsiro practical reform to combine and vote down a bad man on whatever ticket ho may bo. If the republicans present an honest and competent candidate there ia no necessity of fusion , but when that parly allowa the railroad bosses to dic tate nominations and candidates are pro soiitud that lack ability or integrity , beat them by all moans. Boat thorn with an anti-monopoliat , whether ho is a demo crat or a republican , fiulon or no fuaion. Don't send n railroad capper to the next legislature or to congress. If you have to choose between two railroad candi dates , choose the ono that ia least objec tionable. ADDLE-TIEA DED JIOUR110NS.

"I was introduced to Jamon Gordon iennutt , when ho was in Omaha the ether day , " remarked a well-known gon- iloman , "and I must say that I was not very favorably linpror.sod with him. lie orkod off his hat with his right hand iu regular dude fashion , and allowed mo to lold out my hand for him to shako.

Stanley lived iu Oinnha In Ibid ? , and wrote oomo very Interesting letters to the Now York//craW from this place. In 18G3 Bennett sent him to Abbyasinia with the British expedition as war correspondent of tlio / / ' rahl , Stanley made hid mark by sending to the Ihrahl the first report of the storming and capture of Magdolln and the death ol King Theodore , who killed himself when ho aaw that the British -rero going to bo victorious , the news reselling Nerr York before it got to London. The Kngliah learned the news from Stanley's report in the New York Iln-nH. By this mo&tcr stroke of enterprise ho made him- golf solid ' .vilh Bannot * , Stanley addee much to the roputfttion oflhe//miMf for onterpriao , and at the same time earned for himself a world-wide fame.

"Everybody knowa Stanley's history pretty well ainco ho first became connected with the Herald , but the pub- lie does not seem to know much of hia earlier career. Ho wai born in 1810 , near Denbigh , Wales. Uo cnmo of hum- bio parentage , and wna placed in the poor-houao , where ho remained until ho wan thirteen years old. Ho was a bright youth and not long after leaving the poor house ho is said to have taught ochool. Ho subsequently shipped as a cabin boy for Now Orleans , where ho was adoptet by amorchantJohnIlowlandswhoso name ho assumed instead of his own. Rowlands died without making n will and Stanley was compelled to shift for himself. When the war of the rebellion broKe out ho on- hated in the confederate army , and was taken prisoner. Upon his roloaao ho volunteered In the United States navy , and became acting ensign on an iron-clad. At the cloao of the war Stanley drifted about from place to place until ho came to Omaha , and hero ho began writing these letters to the Now York Herald which were the means of attracting Bon- nott'a attention to him , and finally result ing in hia employing him aa in trave ! and exploration. Leaving Omaha he went to Turkey and Aaia Minor , and then to Abysainnia. From the poor lious'i to hia present high position la cer tainly a big stride , and ono that will al ways excite admiration. " * * * "Did you know that Private Hen ry was the correspondent of the Chicago Times \ the Greoly expedition ? " asked a prominent lawyer of the BEE'S Man About Town. "You Bay you don't know it ? " continued the gentleman ; "neither dooo the Chicago limes. " "How'a that ? ' "Well , I'll toll you about it , ao it may provo interesting to Henry's friends in this part of the countiy , and at the same time surprise the limes to learn that it had the only correspondent on that ex pedition , and didn't ' know it. Hen ry , while on hia way cast in 1881 , to joii Greoly , stopped in Chicago , and called on Clint. Snowdon , who waa then managinc ; editor of the Times. IIo oaid ho hac already arranged to write sonic letters for the New York Herald about the ex pedition and would like to correspond with the Times as well. After talking with him for some time and'iinding tlm ho was qulto a bright follow , and hue written n good deal for the World ant ether papers , Snowdon made a bargain with him to write exclusively for the Chicago Times. Ho was to Bend back letters every time hu had a chance while the expedition waa going out , aud after there waa no way for Bonding them back ho was to write up the par ty's experience in the arctic regions - gions and send all his manuscript to the Times immediately upon hia ro- turn. Snowdon was to send the pay for his letters , received before ho got beyond communication , to hia sister at Lincoln , who ho said waa hia only relative in thia country , and Snowdon did so. Homy Bent two letters , the last being from Sv. Johns , Newfoundland , which were pub lished. When Snowdon loft Iho Times ho never told the succeeding management of this arrangement , and they don't know it to-day. Henry probably wrote nj ) a full account of the expedition up to within a chart time of his execution , and I believe if hia manuscript has not been destroyed it wmild _ furnish some very in teresting rending matter. Perhaps it haa been sent to his slater nt Lincoln. Now what 1 have told you ia correct , for Snow- dun , who ia a warm personal friend of [ 113 , told nu thia himself. " LITERARY NOTES.
