FIIOM the number of republican coun ties which have declared for Senator Vnn Wye * to bo their choice , it begins to look as if it will tnko a largo sized object glass to diioovor the tremendous republican defection whlch.tho railroguo gang professed to notice earlier in the season. Tin : next legislature will contain about thirty democratic members. Jt is proba ble that a number of the democratic members may cast their votes lor Sena tor Van Wyek , but it is certain that many from anti-monopoly dibtricts will deelino to supuort any camlidato of the con federated monopolies. 'Ibis is all there is in the fearful bug-a-boo that General Van Wyok is depending upon deiuoeiats for his , election , TUB dreadful fear with which the rail rogue republieans profess to bo haunted is that Senator Van Wyck's republican supporters may turn in and help elect a democrat in easu their favorite candidate fiiilw to seouro a majority. There is about as much cliancuof a democrat succeeding Van Wytik iw there is of n republican suc ceeding Weaver in ease Church Howe re ceives the nomination in the First district. Six weeks ago when so-called agricul tural tuithoiItios were predicting a hhort corn crop for Nebraska , the UKK conli- dontly prophoeiod a throii-fourths crop at least for tint state. Its special crop re ports carefully coihpiled by reliable cor respondents from every comity , told a story which bolleil the ridiculous govern- mmit bulletins and the doctored board of trade ( igures , The result of the harviv.it will bo even bettor than the HKH'S esti mates.

Severe hardship nud privation in these inhospitable winter climates must result if government aid is not furnished , which , however , at the be t , usually falls short of the requirements.

On HR | Hocord. As county after county in Nebraska , through thrlr republican conwnUons , de clares Itself for Senator Van Wyck , the value of a straight record as a public representative begins to dawn upon the boodlu gang of statesmen who have un dertaken tlio job of defeating the sena tor's election in Hie interest of the con federated monopolies of the state. N'early six jcars ago General Van \Vjck accepted the election lo the United Klntivs senate from the hands of the nco- pie of Nebraska through the legislature assembled in joint session. In his speech thanking the convention for the choice , he promised a faithful ad herence to the will of the people nnd earnest work on behalf of his constituents. The promises then made nave been earned out to the letter. With his record of more than live yours' service , an open book from which all can read , Senator Van Wyck calls upon his constituents to place the seal of approval or dissent upon it. He challenges criticism of his mo tives or methods and invites discussion of the results. During his entire service In the senate the voice ami vote of the sena tor from Nebraska have been hoard and cast on every question of national as well as of local importance. For the first time in years Nebraska found her self represented by a man of experience , of ability and of force of character , able to assent himself and make him self felt among the gianl debaters of the upper house. Upon every question relating to the great transporta tion interests as all'ecllng the producers of the country Senator Van Wyek has taken a decided stand nnd occupied a prominent position in their discussion , lie has hold the banner of national reme dial legislation in the interests of the people of the west high in the senate , where all could sec it. le- ) > i > ilo ridicule and abuse and detraction he has > rev or swerved from the stand to whii'h he was bound by his pledges and pledged by his honcnt convictions. No member of Mio corrupting lobby over dared to approach him twice. No suspicion of fraud taints his garments. Honest , tear less nnd unllincliing. lie has been a twio representative of the be t western sentiment , and of the wishes aud demands of a western con stituency. Senator Van Wyck's record on the anti-monopoly issue has been no less decided than his record upon every other vital issue of Hie day. Upon the ques tions of revenue reform , labor , public lands , currency contraction , pensions to deserving soldiers , and redress for in jured government claimants ho has never been forced to surrender a position o > ' apologue for the stand taken. Untiring in his efforts on boliali of measures ot special advantage to the people of his own state , helms worked no less faith fully for these which he bclievisl to be of general utility. It is on such a record that the senator bases his appeal for : > re-election , know ing and feeling that it is the roundest basis upon which any representative can look for an endorsement from an intelli gent constituency. The Situation in lown. A few days after the Iowa republican convention , Senator Allison was called upon by the representative of a Chicago newspaper , and questioned regarding state and national politics. Respecting the former the senator cordially com.- mended the work of the convention and expressed entire contidcncti tiiat the ro- nublicans would carry the.state and mo t of the congressional districts. Recently the correspondent of another Chicago paper has Loon looking over the political situation in Iowa , and lie did not find it such as to give complete assurance of re publican success. Giving the report of his observations simply for what they are worth , his most important statement is that there is a lack of harmony and good fueling in the republican ranks. The ticket is not entirely satisfactory to many mumbois of the party , more particularly the friends of Auditor Itrown , whoso at tempted impeachmcntcausedagoad deal of ill-feeling. The republicans of the northwostwn part of the state , aUo , are said to feel sere because a candi date they had presented was rejected. Still another adverse element aVe the miners , whose complaint is tlio rotusal of tlio republicans at thb la.st session of the legislature to pass a bill , introduced by a domoural , requiring all coal to be weighed before screening. Heretofore the ma jority of these minors have acted with the republican party , but the democrats are said to have great expectations of getting the support of a considerable part ot them this yo.\r. \ The Knights of Labor are represented to bo largely in sympathy with the miners as to their special grievance , and are also reported to bo deeply incensed , in common with the laboring class generally in the state , affliinst the registration law , a republi can moisuro which they claim to bo arbitrary and oppressive in its operation. In several districts the Knights and the democrats are said to bo in o.\oollont accord , and the latter are working hard to extend this unity ol fooling throughout the stato. A conference of democrats , knights and grcenlmcker.f , with a view 10 bringing these elements ino ( closer rela tions , is announced to bn hold early no.\t month. The prohibitionists having no state ticket , the full vote of that party is conceded to the republicans. There are surfacu indications that the correspondent who gives this description of the lown situation derived his information mation l. r ely ftoni democratit ) sources , but neverthelessthn adverse conditions ho sets forth , granting they are some what exaggerated , are of such Import ance that the republicans of Iowa cannot allbrd to Ignore them. The margin of that party in tlio state is not so large that it can spare many votes , nnd there is reason to believe that In order to keep Its forces intact , putting aside nny ex pectation of increasing them , there must bo vigorous and unceasing work throughout the state , but particularly so in the localities \\hero the recalcitrant elements are most numerous We have no doubt the lenders thoroughly under stand this , ami when the real labor of the campaign is begun , which must lie soon , undoubtedly the republican man agers will ba found to have msulo ade quate and ample preparation to meet opposition ut every point , ami to carry on the jigiit with their usual ounrgv. Failure in this respect m any direction might bo disastrous. To the pertinent question of the Jfemlil whether if Vuu Wyok has a majority of the caucus tlie Republican will oppose a republican CAUCUS , that advocate of simon pure monopoly republicanism replies that the papo.r is about to change hands and itcanlt toll what the new proprietors will do about it. It will make little dif ference in any event. Nebraska republi cans long ago ceased to take their cue from a paper whicn has prostituted itself for the profits of railroad job work nnd whoso editorial page has been a mere rellccllon of the will of the railroad man agers. Just at present Nebraska repub licans arc showing less desire than over to train with the gang of political charla- tons and tricksters who have for years mismanaged the parly for their personal bcncllt nnd the use of their corporate masters. Condemning Repudiation. Kvcry state that has repudiated its honest obligations , in whatever way or under whatever circumstances or pre texts , has sooner or Inter paid the pen alty of its dishonest policy. Georgia is the latest example. During the adminis tration of Governor Uulloek , Georgia , under her state seal , issued a large quan tity of negotiable obligations , among which were an issue of 1,800 Georgia Htato 7 pnr cent , gold bonds and another issue of Georgia gold quarterly bonds for $1,000 each. These bonds were sold to innocent parties by the state authorities , most of them having been disposed of to savings banks and others in New York nnd vicinity , llefore purchasing the olli- cials of these banks scoured the opinion of eminent lawyers that the bonds were legally issued and were valid obligations of the slate. But -ifler having used the proceeds for the benefit of the state , the Georgia leg- Nature passed an act repudiating the whole Issue of bondsand there has been no attempt since to right this injustice. Fur thermore Georgia , has always refused to submit to her own courts the question of her liability upon the repudiated bonds , andJuus never done anything lo punish anybody for issuing , .selling or receiving the proceeds of mich bonds , except in the ease of Governor Mullock , who was tried on the charge of irregularity nnd misappropriating the proceeds of n part of them and acquitted. The attorney gen eral of New York and the superintendent of the banking department of that state , after an investigation at the instance of the savings banksholdingthe.se securi ties , rendered an opinion that Georgia was guilty of bad laith in the matter , and the savings banks ot Now York were prohibited from fmther investments in any bonds whatever issued by Georgia. Some time ago : i member of the Now York stock exchange asked that n new issue of Georgia bonds be put upon the regular list of the exchange to bo dealt in. A few days ago the governors of the exchange met to pass upon the applica tion , against which a protest had been made , when the above facts were pre sented in support of the protest. The ellcet was to promptly defeat the appli cation by a unanimous vote , with the declaration that "it is the opinion of this committee that no bondn of the state of Georgia should be admitted to dealings on tlio Now York stock exchange so long as that state continues to repudiate its former issues of bonds. " Tims the state of Georgia , after persisting for several years in a course of dishonesty , has her bonds discredited in the loading stock exchange of the country and an imputation cast upon her credit which she will not speed ily recover from , and which wLU ulti mately cost her much .more than would have been her outlay in keeping laith wltn her creditors. If she succeed in negotiating her now bonds at all it niii t bo at a great sacrifice , but the chances are against her being able to miirkel them at any rate that would bo accepted. No one will euro to buy securities that are not negotiable in the money markets , that cannot bo made available as collat eral , cxcopt at figures ruinous to the issuer , and for these purposes the action of the Now York stock exchange practic ally destroys the value of Hie bonds ot Georgia , save , perhaps , among her own people. It cannot be fairlr questioned that tlio action of the exchange was proper and just , both as a warning and an example , and whether or not the eifeet shall bo to induce Georgia to take steps to obliterate the stain upon her integrity and restore her credit and it ought to convince her people of the windom and expediency of doing this it will cer tainly have a wholesome inlluonco in re- stuaining repudiation tendencies else where. The Kplstloorst. Paul. Jim Paul has at last found one champ"- ion that is willing to stand up and call him martyr. The Jfpublican , which published Tanl's bunch of affidavits , had the prudence to refrain from an opinion on their value. The Lincoln Journal , however , which stands up bra/only lor every rogue that goes unwhippcd of jus tice , including that tramp , dead-beat and swindler , Wilcox , the Mendota carpen ter , has actually ventured to defend the saintly apostle from Howard county by proclaiming him a victim of Van Wyck's unholy ambition. This is prime and will surprise nobody more than the lusty Paul , The idea that he is really a much slandered political martyr is too absurd for denial. The poor girl whom ho vietimixod has been sought out in the cast , and , being men tally wnak , has been induced to sign an Htlldiivit which , on its face , is a dead giveaway. She admits that she charged him with liar ruin , but after a lapse of nearly eight years she has discovered her mistake and now declares that it was some otiior man , Paul himself docs not deny that he has contributed to the sup port of an infant which bears n very .striking resemblance to its reputed father. The grandfather of the child , Uov , Mr. Lewis , solemnly reasserted his belief In the guilt ot Paul in the card which he recently published in the Omaha HcjHiltlican. The farm which Paul denoted - noted to maintain tlio child has passed into the hands of Hon. Leandcr Uorrard , We have hoard of many singular cases of chanty and philanthrophy , but never of an h'Manca where a man out of pure benevolence deeded a farm away to sup port another man's child , because it looked like him. If Paul is really the victim of blackmail ho ought to bo can onized and his name enrolled among the saints as St. Paul of Howard. WITH two suits in the local courts brought by lawyers against brother law yers , it looks us if the outside public must bo getting pretty poor picking for tlio fraterully. Keep It JJclbro tlio Itnpubllc. Before the republicans of the First dis trict cpmmlt tiio party lo the support , of Church Howovthdvshould nsk themselves whether a man bf Ids record has any rightful flninViflfln \ the support of any decent republican , Lcavinc out pi ques tion his corrupt methods and notorious venality wo appeal to republicans to pause and reflect before they put a prem ium upon party treason and conspiracy against Its very existence. Ten years ago , , when the republican party was on the verge ol disaster , and every loeloral : , vote cnst for Hayes and \Yhocler was needed to retain the party in power , Church Howe entered into a conspiracy to deliver republican Nebraska into the hands of the enemy. This infamous plot is not a mere conjecture. The proof of It docs not rest on surmise or suspicion. It is not to be poo-poohed or brushed away by pronouncing it one of Itoscwatcr'd malicious campaign stand- dors. The records of tlio legislature of which Church Howe was a member in 70 77 , contain the indejihlo proofs of the treasonable conspiracy , and no denial can stand against evidence furnished by his own pen. Hrlolly told , the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows : In isru Nebraska elected Silas A. Strickland , Amasa Cobb and A. II. Connor presidential electors by a vote of 1)1,1)10 ) ) as against a vote of 1(1,051 ( cast for the Tilden and llendricKs electors. After the election it was dls- CovercJl that the canvass ot this vote could not t.iko place under the then ex isting law before the legislature con vened , 'J he electoral vote had to bo can- vasiod in Bccember at the latest , anil , the regular session of the legislature diiPnot begin until January. In order to make a logal'eanvoss of the electoral returns Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December , ' 70 , at Lincoln , for the pur pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The. democratic effort to cap ture republle.in electoral votes is historic. Tilden\s friends , notably Dr. Miller , had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Ne braska , and it is also historic that a large bribe was olfeuod to one of the electors , General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into the plan of the plotters , and they found a willing and rebkless tool in Church liowo. When the legislature convened at the capital , Church Howe filed a protest which maybe bo found on pages ' 0 , 7 and 8 of'lhe Ne braska House Journal for 1377. The fol lowing CNtrnct'makus interesting reading : "J. Chinch Howe , member et the legisla- tnie of Xebras i , now convened bypidcUi- inatlon ol his excellency , ( iovcinor Silas ( Jaiber , for the pmjioso of canvassing and doelarinz the lesult ot the vote east In Ne braska lor electors ifor piesiclent ami vice piesldent ot the United States , horeoy enter in'solemn piotdst against such act , denjinij that the governor hat ! power to call this body hi special sessidli for any siieli put nose , or that this body has any authority to canvasser or dcclaio tlio Result ot such vote upon the lollowliiR gunmils : ' Flist , This legislature now convened hav ing been elected.Tuulpr wli.xt Is known as the old constItiiUon.Jijis no power to act In the promises , the ; ne\v .ponstitutton of the state IwvliiK been In foieii.slnco November , 1875. " The second and third clauses de.il with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follows : "For the forejroinir reasons I protest agaiimt any canvass of the electoral vote of the state by this body , and demand ( hat this , my protest , bo entered upon the journal. " ( Signed ) Church Howe , member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in tlio senate , while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a immibcr. The protest en tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omaha and Howe had the jrlory of being the solo champion of Sun Tilden , The legisla ture Ignored Church Howe , spread his protest on its record and canvassed tlio electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan uary , 1877 , the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early in the session , a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and \Vlieoler having received a majority of the electoral votes wore en titled to their seats. This resolution cave rise to .1 very lively debate which lasted two days. Church Howe asked to bo excused from voting when it first came up aud was so excused. On the final passage of the resolution the record [ page ! )70 ) , Senate Journal 1877,1 shows the following result : Yeas Ambrose , fiaird , Hlauoh.ml , llryant , Calkins , Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawes , Garfield - field , Gilham , Hayes , Keniiard , Knapp , Popoon , POWOTH , Tiiutnmel , Van \Vyelc , Walton and WiJcox-20. Those voting In the negative were : Aten , Hrown , Covoll. Ferguson , Hlninan , Holt , Church Howu aud North--8. During the same .session of the legisla ture , Church Howo'ti vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is recorded as havjpg been east for K , W. Thomas , a South Carolina democrat , [ pages 11)3 ) anil 308 Bonato Journal. ] All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican indapl'mlont , roMibloan | ! on national issuo.s ijudi , temperance granger on local issuesHid ) / temperance and grange record Wo leave for another chap- tor.

ANOTIIKIC offrTJPayard's consuls has easily succeed 1 inputting himself in an unenviable situation. Ths party Is With ers , succes.sor oT"Mosby as consul gen eral at Hong Kong , and ho is charged with grave abuses growing out of the dis charge aud shipment of American sea men at Jhnt port. The allegations sub- stantiully are that when a sailor receives his papers ho Is turned over to a boarding house master , the consul receiving live dollars as n fee for this service and five dollars more when he reships. It Is , of course , to the interest of these land pir ates , as the sailors aptly term tlio board ing house keepers , to keep the boarder drunk until they can send him to sea again , in debt often for a new outfit. Withers has not only been a party to these out rages , but ho has refused to see and hoar complaints from sailors of the United States who were subjected to them , aud in cases where they have persisted in their demands he has had thorn locked up. for contempt. The abuse wns exposed by an American seaman who on being dis charged from his ship nnd paid ofT , placed himself under the protection of the Hrlt- isli consul , by which hn not only saved all fees , but when lie wo.s ready to ship again had a supply of ready money of his own. One of the principal comphniianls against Withers is said to be a prominent olllcer of the Asiatic squadron , who fitly chara- ictorixcd such a stale of things as a "burning shame. " It is certainly most humiliating when American sailors are compelled to ask security and protection from the consul of another country be cause the representative of their own country is in collusion with rapacious aud unscrupulous boarding house , keepers to rob tliom of their eainings. . Possibly Wilhers is one of these who have complained that the salary is insuf ficient to enable them to live decently , and he determined to piece it out by mulcting the sailors of his country. It is a nice gaiig of scamps and humbugs , surely , that the present administration has foisted upon the foreign service. Senator Van Wyek is plnylm ; a one-day engagement at a dime imiseiim at West Point to-cl.iy. llcmht. This is not only a wanton nnd ma lleioiis lling at tlio senator but an insult to every Homan Catholic in the state. What the Herald calls a dime museum was the Fair of the Catholic Knights at West Point , and the dime admission fee was for the benefit of that benevolent order. Senator Van Wyck did not thrust himself upon that society , but went to West Point by the express Invitation of the Catholic clergymen , who desired through his presence to make the fair more attractive. What the Herald called a "dime museum" its monopoly mate , the Lincoln Journal , called a "beer Harden. " Hotb these papers only relied the sentiment of a bigoted minority.

Senator Van Wyck , of Nebraska , is prosecuting his campaign for re-election by visiting the county fairs. Wherever few farmers are congregated togethe there may Van Wyek bo found also With the. people the venerable Senalo is popular , but with tlie railroad and lam companies he is decidedly unpopular. I ho is to have any chance ol succeeding himself hu must depend upon the pcopli whom lie has sought to serve , and hi freedom in mingling with them is en tinny unobjectionable. The opposition to him does not maul fest itselt in these places. It knows tot well the lumper of the masses , and wlnli he cultivates his popular boom his ad versaries are making preparations lo so euro by trickery that which they no\ei could obtain openly. On the election o. : i legislature which does not honestly represent the great majority of the voters of the state rests the hone of the monopoly ely crowd that they will be able to prevent vent Van Wyck's re-election. The re suit of the contest will bo watched will. interest , for in no other western state have the lines betuoen monopoly am anti-monopoly been so closely drawn. TRAGEDY OF THE PLAINS. Two Iioncl ] ' Graves Lost on the IJunks ol % Kcil Ulvor. Cheyenne Letter in Now York Mail. The writer met on the streets of Chey enne a few days ago an old friend last seen on the southern cattle trial. Old times weie talked over. Our friend still 'followed ' the Texas long horns , and many scenes of past dav.s were lecalled and many trail adventures recounted. In the course ot the talk lied Hiver crossing was mentioned , and our friend said lie must tell of a romantic tragedy mark ing the crossinc of the stream by the held ho was with this season. In the outfit , starting to ga-thcr the cattle for the trail in the early spring , was a young fol low about whom hung a mystery. He had been with the otitlit sinco'tho fall be- foio , aud such was hi reserve that six months had not succeeded in making him any better Known to his companions than when ho joined them Ho was slight and delicate in ap pearance to girlisliness , yet his duty was always performed as well as that of the most stalwart rider. In the spring , when the activity of the cattle gntheringliegaii. this youiiii fellow , to w liotn the boys had given the sobriquet ot "Lady , " became restless. An eager anxiety to see every stranger encountered on the range seemed to have taken complete posscssjon of him. He seemed to know by intuition when a stranger was about , and was cer tain sooner or later to get a sight of him. "Liuly" carried a good Winchester habit ually. and know exactly how to use it. It soon became : i recognized fact in tlie out- lit thai the young feljow was looking for some one , and the wild cowboys watched eagerly for the denouement. Jt did not come until the herd had been guth cied and reached the Red Hiver crossing The night the outlit camped on the banks of the rod stream there rode into the camp a stranger looking lor work. He was a stalwart , sun-burnt fellow , apparently about thirty years of age. As the foreman arose from his supper to meet the newcomer there came the rapid beat of hoofs. A horse dtishcd up to the group around the simper lire , a girlish foi in leaped to the ground , the iirclight. shone on the barrel of a leveled Winchester as it covered the stranger , and a voice , clear and stern , was heard. "Make your peace with your God at once , James Saunders. Jt is I , Klla Morrow , who sneaks to you. " A spellbound silcnco endured for a second's space and then the report rang out and James Saunders pitched head long from his horse , shot through the heart by "Lady , " the woman Tie had deserted. Scarcely had the smoke wreaths lloatcd upward when another report came and "Lady" had taken her own lite. On the person of the girl , who had so Jong braved the hard life of the cattle frontier for the purpose of taking vengeance on her false lover , was found a letter. This t61 < l in pathetic terms the story of lier wrongs. Up to her 17th birthday , three years trom the date of the tragedy' , slio had lived a happy and beloved daughter , amid the grand hills of New Hampshire. On the seventeenth birlh- day there came a young stranger to her homo. Ho was handsome , accomplished ami winning. Teaching the winter term of the district school , Ellu was one ot his mipils , and the close companionship in which they were thrown developed love on her part. It was the olu story. Then name desertion and the secret de parture from bor home to .ivongo her wrongs. She had traced her betrayer to the Texas frontier , and knew that if she only had the patience to wait long enough she must meet him. Her task completed , she no longer had any desire to live. Reverently the rough riders , who had so long known her us a comrade , dug for "Lady" deep grave on the spot witnessing her vengeance and laid her therein. The body of the seducer was carelessly Hung in a shallow hold , and the ne.xt morning two lonely graves wore loft on the banks of the Ued river. . Knrntojfn Sprliijis. J. F.
