PATIUCK EOAN'S letter

THE Linmln Journal trios to oronto
the impression that the legislative
record which THK BKK has published
nnd reprints again is an attempt to
litackmall every man who voted against
Van Wyek. It is hardly necessary to
(6tiy that this is not true. The listspeaks
for itself. It shows thnt the standing
.of members was not gauged by their
votes on the senatorial issue , but on
their general conduct an law makers
nnd representatives.
TriK latest trustworthy ndvicos from
Iowa give promise tlmt that state will
, Kivo Harrison a larger plurality than it
gave Dlnino , which moans moro than
twenty thousand. The republican state
ticket will bo elected by pluralities
Bomowhat Joss than the national ticket
will receive , while on railroad commis
sioners it isexpected that the plurality' '
will bo still loss. It is thought the re
publicans will gain ono congressman ,
nnd Dorhans two. The party is harmo
nious and enthusiastic on the national
ticket , and has made largo gains.
THE figures of the mineral output ol
the United States for the past year , as
1'lvon in the report of David T. Day o (
the division of mining statistics of the

derful wealth -of this country. Thoi
total value of nil minerals raised last
year was iivo hundred and thirty-eight
million dollars , which , while not the
greatest in amount ever raised , was
ono hundred million dollars in excess ol
the output of any other country , and
leaving out England , was greater than
thnt of till Europe put together. Truly
this is a marvelous'country , und its. vast
.Resources arc still far from being fully
Uevcloped.

THE nOF \ UATTLU.
The campaign work ol ono of the
most remarkable political contests in
the country's history will end with to
day. To-morrow the great political
parties will confront oauh other at the
ballot box , and in all probability within
forty-eight hours thereafter the world
will know the verdict of the American
people on the vital issues involved in
the contest. It hag been n most vigor
ous and hotly contested campaign , nnd
on the part of the republicans con
ducted without u single serious mis
take. Looking back to the days of
doubt and apprehension that preceded -
coded the mooting of the re
publican national convention , when
housamls of staunch republicans were
linost hopeless of the future , the stu-
cnt of politics will 11 nd some reason to
yonder at the extraordinary vitality
.nd aggressive force which the party
as since oxhlbtU-d and the splendid
HX-tiUoii it now occupies on the eve of
, ho real battle. Everywhere the re-
lublienn party is seen to bo compact ,
larmonious , ontuusiaBtic and confident.
ts distinguished candidate nnd leader
as berne himself with a dignity nnd
risdom that have commanded the
carty admiration of the party nnd
ho respect of all men. In all
hat ho has said or done ho has jus-
ifiod the wisdom of his selection and
jlvei ) the amplest assurance of his
.bility for the duties of the presidential-
nice. The other great party loaders
rrho have taken part in the canvass
ave performed eminent and honorable
iorvice. They have appealed to the
popular intelligence nnd reason , nnd
urely before were the peoploso gonor-
illy disposed to listen. It has been on
ho whole a clean campaign , though
ruth requires it to be said that what
ever departure there has boon from the
; ) urpo o to make It such n campaign the
democratic party has been guilty of.
Reviewing what has boon accom
plished , and weighing carefully the
conditions as they are presented , the
conviction is irresistible that the
chances of winning in to-morrow's bat
tle are with the republican party. Wo
can see no reason why every state that
'avo ' its electoral vote to that party four
years ago shall not do so this year , nnd
f there is an honest vote nnd a fair
count in Now York nnd Indinnn these
btatos will bo in the republican column
this year. There is a reason to appl-o-
icnd , houuver , that democratic corrup
tion will not be absent from these states ,
: ind particularly from the former.
It is well known that for the
past month the democratic national
committee has been accumulating a.
und , the only object of which now can
bo for use in buying the saleable vote
of the doubtful stales , colonizing , nnd
n whatever other corrupting ways mny
promise advantage. Republican vigi-
anco may not bo able to fully circum
vent the evident purpose of the domo-
ratie managers in this respect , but tlio
knowledge that they are suspected nnd
will bo most carefully watched will
very likely put such n chock upon their
designs that the results -will bo far loss
to their advantage than they
have counted upon. Unless all signs
nro misleading , democratic fraud nnd
corruption will have to overcome n ,
iro'bablo plurnlity of from fifteen to
twetjty thousand in Now York and ton
thousand in Indiana , and this is a
renter task than they can probably ac
complish under surveillance.
The country will have no regrets thnt
the campaign is onded. It has inter
fered less than hns boon the uniform
experience hilhorto with the business
affairs of the nation , but to nearly
everybody it had become somewhat
tedious and wearisome. The American
people hnvo a greater fondness for
politics than any other people , but n
five months' campaign is a severe tax
upon their patience from which they
will gladly accept relief. Wo would not
undervalue the importance of republi
can victory in the nation to-morrow , but
whatever tho' decision of the people
shall , bo , thagovermnent will continue
with all its functions unimpaired , and
our marvelous country will not halt in
the inarch toward the accomplishment
of its great dcstinv.
AS TO FRAUDULENT TICKETS.
The laws of this state prohibit the
printing and distribution of fraudulent
election tickets and expressly provide
that the name of any person iuzortod
under a party head in the place of any
nominee of that party shall not bo
counted for that particular candidate.
This is clear enough with regard to
the printing of bogus tickets or mixed
tickets under the regular party head ,
but tnoro is a diiToronco of opinion
among eminent lawyers with regard to
the use of election pastors. Attorney
Gonoval Lccso is quoted as giving the
opinion that a printed pastor is not
legal. In other words it cannot bo
counted for thu candidate whoso name
appears on the paster , although the
candidate whoso name has boon cov
ered by the paster losoa that voto.
There are others who hold that the law
prohibiting bogus tickets does not
contemplate nqr cover printed
slips pasted upon a regular party
ticket. On this point TUB BEH
would udviso all voters-lo tnke the safe
side and use no printed ell pa. As to
written pastors there can bo but one
legal opinion. The object of the law
prohibiting fraudulent ticket printing
is to prevent deception of the ignorant
or credulous voter. No deception H
postiiblo where the name of any candi
date appears in welting instead of in
print. No voter unlo s ho bo blind can
fail to notice the difference between
printing and ordinary handwriting. If
it is contrary'to his intention to vote 11
mixed ticket , ho can procure a printed
ticket. If it is his intention to vote
against u particular candidate his right
to paste a written slip over the printed
name cannot bo called in question"ty
any court of justice.
As to the legality of mixed tickets
there can be no controversy , providing
always such tickets nro not printed uiv
dor the regular party head. It' , is 'par
fectly legitimate to pciut tickets
made up to .suit any grouj
of voters -under hoadingg thai
plainly show thorn to ba irregular. Foi
instance , thora.can be question aa U
legality of printing or peddling tickets
headed "Independent , " or "Independ
ent Republican , " or "Farmers' and Me
chanics' , " or ' 'Democratic ' Working-
nan's'or " .Mugwump. " No pretense
of deception or fraud would hold good
n regard to tickets of that description.
They have been voted in this city nt
every election slnco the bogus ticket
aw wont into effect , and have always
> een counted the same as any straight
> arty ticket.
A free ballot and nn Inmost count of
every vote is the corner-stone of our ro-
mblican government.
CANDIDATES , FAOD TOl'll RECORD.
Up to date the following members of
, ho last legislature have been rcnoml-
latod. Each of those men has made his
( 'cord and should stand or fall by it.
For the benefit of their constituents wo
reprint the summary of our legislative
1st of 1887 relative to each of the can
didates :
J. L. Linn , renominated for the sen-
nto from Richardson and Pawnee coun-
ies , was disposed to do right , but was
tampered by his grain elevator nnd
made unreliable by his political aflllia-
lions.
Dr. H. 15. Boncsteol , ronomlnated
rom the Eighth senatorial district ,
acted in accord with the wishes of his
constituents on the senatorial issue , but
after the senatorial contest allied him
self with the jobbers and railrogues.
lia conduct became a matter of general
scandal.
S. N. Wolbach of Hallshowed himself
throughout n clear headed and reliable
re prose ntativo. Ho resisted to the ut-
nest the intense pressure brought upon
ilm by corporate and local intluoncos ,
nnd lomnined true to the trust reposed
n him.
.T. M. Raymond , a member of the last
louse hut now nominated for the senate
'rom ' Lancaster county , was the only
representative from Lancaster in the
: iouso who was in no way tied up with
| obs and steals , and whoso skirts are
; ) orfcctly clean from the taint of corrup
tion.
tion.F.
F. M. Wlthcraldalsoin the lasthouso
and now a candidate for the senate from
the Twenty-third district , was a very
intelligent and upright member , whoso
votes were given fearlessly for the re
striction of corporate monopoly and
against extravagant appropriations.
Charles R. Kockloy , renominated for
the senate from York and Fillmore
counties , achieved moro than ordinary
prominence , nnd made n gallant , manly
and unswerving fight for the people
from first to last.
J. P. Lindsay , candidate for the senate
ate from , the Twenty-ninth district , is a
railroad attorney , nnd through this influence -
fluenco became moro or less involved in
the support of bad measures which the
railroad lobby had contracted to pull
through. But Mr. Lindsay is not a
boodler , as far as wo could observe.
J.JM. Iliggins , in the last senate from
Cass , and now a candidate for the
house , stood as firm as a rock against
all blandishments of corporate irionop-
ely and boodlers. His constituents hnvo
reason to bo well satisfied with him ,
and may trust him in every instance a
being loyal to their interests.
Thomas J. Majors , also in the last
senate , and now n candidate for the
house from Ncmtihn , disappointed his
best friends , by adopting the peculiar
tactics of Church Howe. Ho studiously
kept up appearances of decency , but was
nearly always to bo found in the under
current with the worst men in the legis
lature.
N. M. Satcholl , of Cass , proved him
self to bo reliable , steadfast and honest.
Edwin Joar.v , of the same county , was
a vary intelligent , painstaking and
faithful me nib or.
John C. Watson , of Otoo , made a good
fight during the senatorial contest , but
found himself in the railroad camp be
fore the session was half over. His in-
lluonco as a leader was rather perni
cious than otherwise , moro especially
in connectipn with appropriation "com
bines. "
O. F. Keipor was ono -of the most
well-informed , cloar-hoaded and reli
able men in the legislature. He has a
very exemplary record.
Matthew Miller may ho regarded n
sort of back-slider on the railroad issue.
While enjoying general confidence ha
dodged many important questions and
votes.
J. L. Caldwell was a frothy fraud
without a single redeeming quality.
For further particulars remember THK
BEK'.S explanation of ohurgoa against
judiciary committee.
J. W. Dickinson , as one of the repre
sentatives of Lancaster county , made a
tolerably fair record considering that
ho was tied down to trades with jobbers
and claimants in exchange for votes on
Appropriation bills.
S. A. Truosdoll , of Thnyor , was in the
main honest and reliable.
J , R. Ballard was among the truest
and moat faithful men in the legisla
ture , and made tin excellent record
throughout.
John H. Dempster was ono of the
most clear-headed , fearless and faithful
representatives in the house. He talked
and voted his convictions and lived up
to his obligations.
Otto Abrahahison is in the main lion-
, eat-but easily misled by politicalmsso-
ciatcs who trained with the railroad
and jobfiora' lobby.
O. G. Bailoyisan'honost , straightfor
ward man who stood by Van Wyck ron
beginning to end and nearly nlwayq
voted right , but was often subject lot
much pressure by the railroad banker-
lobbyibt , Bostwick. .
B. M. Strains represented the wishes
of his constituents with'fidolity from beginning -
ginning to end ,
J. T. Yutzy was commonplace , uncer
tain and unreliable.
'William Fenton played into the hands
of the railroads and jobbers -whenever
his vote was wanted.
Joseph C. Gilmore is a man of morq
than ordinary ability , and his record
this time was as good as it was at the
BORsioa ton years ago , when ho was
known as honest Joe Gilmoro.
John -Cameron is 'no ( a man ol
many words , but ho always stood up and
voted for the right and may be do *
pended-on. ' .
Wrttson Tysonwas alwAJ'Sjat Ills post
as an unfitnahiug advocate of , the best
interest'/ people. . . - > . *
William H. Dillor was n dqublo-
ender , playing fast and loose between
the UUCP , not tojb&Mopondcd on.
Franklin SwosH was very quiet , but
always could < \L depended on to go
wrong at the critical tlmo. He alwayn
trained with the ( Corporation gang and
the jobbers. l | j\
Frank E. White is a railroad man ,
but upon all otler issues ho was thor
oughly straight ] . < ]
William G. Bontjy was n quiet , firm ,
and intelligent member. His integrity
is unimpcachapipnnd his record good.
nilIDERY AT ELECTIONS.
The uttompt to carry the state elec
tion by wholesale bribery should bo
resisted nt all hazards. The logltimnto
expenses of a campaign do not contem
plate the downright purchase ot vbtoe.
ft will bo a sorry day for this state
when otlices can bo bought and sold in
the open market. No honorable man
can afford to accept an office secured by
the corruption of the voters , anil no
vote procured by bribery should bo
counted for him.
The constitution of Nebraska requires
every state ofiicer and every member of
the legislature to tnko and subscribe an
oath that he has not paid any money or
lvon any valuable thing to nny elector
to influence his vote in his election. No
man who buys votes can take such an
oath without committing perjury , and
no candidate with n conscience will ,
place himself fci the position to bo com
pelled to commit perjury on the very
day ho assumes the oflico.
OALL.
Mr. William Fenton , candidate for
re-election to the legislature from
Richardson county , has the hublimo
gall to publish nn open letter to his
constituents , in which ho tries to hum
bug them into the belief that ho was
faithful and true to the people in the
legislature , and is now the victim of
blackmail at the hands of TIIK BKK be
cause this paper has seen fit to republish -
lish his standing in the last legislature.
Why didn't Fenton challenge n discus
sion of his record when it
was first published in Tun BKK
nt the close of the session:1 :
Why did he call at this ofllco some six
weeks ago and ask that ho bo given an
other chimeo to do bettor/ Would any
editor who had money enough to buy tx
suit of clothes want to blackmail a
cheap follow like Fen ton'/ Does ho
imagine anybody who kept track of him
in the legislature and saw him cheok-
by-jowl with theoil , room gnng night
and day , can bo hoodwinked by clap
trap about his vote to soil the saline
lands to the Lincoln ( stock yards syndi
cate which already ) had a fifty-year
lease on thorn ? ji'hat deal was a palpa
ble job which THK B'EK opposed in the
interest of the state. ; Fenton voted for
it just as ho did' ' for other jobs that wore
supported by the rings which controlled
the last legislature , ,
Of SARPV.
The editor of. TUB BKB has his Hkos and
dislikes , Hico pthen men , and his prejudices
often warp his judgment and detract from
his influence. Mr. Hnrry D. Clarke , ttie re
publican nominee for representative in Sarpy
county , falls under the ban of his paper.
Mr. Clarke probably has simply failed , ut
some time , ( o do what Mr. Uosowtitur re
quested which is uo more , doubtless , tlum
he has refused to do for other mon. Ho
therefore is not the only victim of a man
who has Independence enough to say "Nd. "
IlcouLil'can.
The editor of THK BKK has never
asked Clarke for a favor , and has none
to ask of him now. Clarke has been
tried in a former legislature and ho
betrayed his trust. He has plenty of
money and little or no principle. Ho
peddled democratic pasters two years
ago for the B. & M. railroad , and is en
titled to no support from republicans.
Ho procured his nomination this time
against the wishes and interests of the
party by boodle methods , and defeated
bettor men for the place he seeks. The
proper and only way to get rid of such
methods and such irrepressible placo-
seekers is to defeat them at the polls.
Clarke may-own half of Sarpy county
but ho should bo taught t hat Sarpy
county voters are not his chattels ,

door with two cloaks which ho had stolen
from the hall rack. Seizing a pistol , she took
aim aud advised him to rcplaca the cloaks as
ho hud found them. The thief obeyed with'
out a word , and then quietly listened to a lec
ture.

refused to answer questions , when the Judge
made the following speech : "Madam , my
commission is dated August 3,1SS3 , and this
commission expires on the Sd day of August ,

Lincoln and the Little Girl.
Youth's Companftm.
Will the world ever know what depths
of tenderness there was in the heart of
Abraham Lincoln ? An anecdote
which has never boon published brings
out ono more instance in which his
sympathies , awakened by u little child ,
nobly controlled his action. In ono of
the first skirmishes of the civil war n
young union soldier was so severely
wounded in the leg that the limb had
to be amputated. On leaving the hos
pital the young soldier , bv the aid of in-
fiuontial gentlemen , obtained a position
us : i government weigher of hny and
grain. Not long after ho had entered
upon his duties his superior officer said
to him :
"See hero , Mr. M , this hay
weighs so much on these scales , but to
thu government it weighs so much
more. "
"I do not understand , sir , that way of
doing business. I can enter but one
weight , and that is the correct one , "
answered the young weigher.
His superior walked away , uttering
threats. The young man from that day
suffered many potty persecutions for his
honesty , and it was not long before ho
received notice that the government
had no further need for his service.
The summary dismissal made him so
down-hearted that when he told the
story to his family ho seemed u man
without hope ,
"Father " the oldest
, replied daughter ,
n girl of thirteen , "cheer upl I am go
ing to see President Lincoln. I know
ho will mnko it all right. "
Her father mid mother tried to turn
her purpose , saying that it would bo
useless to sou the president , as ho would
not attend to such a potty mutter as
the dismissal of a weigher of grain.
But her faith in the president's sense
of justice was so strong that she wont
to the White House , and , after three
days of patient waiting in the ante
room , wns admitted to Mr. Lincoln's
presence.
The hour for receiving visitors had
nearly expired , and as she entered the
room'tho president , throwing himself
on n lounge , said wearily , ' 'Well , my
little girl , what can I do for you'/ "
She told her artless story. Mr. Lin
coln listened attentively , and with n
smile asked , "But how , my dour , do I
know your statement is true'/ "
"Mr. President , " answered the girl
with energy , "you must take my word
for it. "
"I do , " replied the president , rising
nnd taking her hand. "Come with mete
to Mr. Stanton. "
"Stanton , " said Mr. Lincoln , as they
entered the office of the great war sou-
rotarv , ' 'I wish you would hear this
child's btory. "
'I have no time , " answered the over
worked man.
"But you mut , " replied Mr. Lin
coln.
"I have not a moment to spare to-day ,
Mr. President. "
"Como again , mV dear , to-morrow ,
and Mr. Stanton will hear you then , "
Said the president , leading her nwav.
The next day she was admitted at
once to the president , who took her over
to Mr. Stanton's otllcc. The Secretary
listened to the child's simple story and
wns so moved by it that ho indignantly
exclaimed before she had finished , "Tho
infernal riiacal ! " Ho went to his desk
and wrote an order for the immediate
dismissal of the dishonest official nnd
for the appointing the little girl's father
to tlio vacant place.
Mr. Lincoln never forgot the child.
Ho told her story to several congress
men , and through their Influence her
two brothers were enrolled among the
pages of the house of representatives.

LINCOLN , Nov. 4. J
The campaign closes in Lancaster
county to-morrow night with meetings
at IHckman , Malcolm , Emerald , Sal-
ttllo , Dcnton , West Lincoln , Davy ,
Firth , Lancaster and Wavorly. Inspir
ation seems to move the people in this
part of the heritage in a political way.
It is hard to supply the demand for
speakers for the closing night of the
campaign. From the first the draft has
been heavy upon speaking talent , nnd
the boys are well nigh worn out ; but
they respond to the last Call cheerfully ,
and some of the very best meetings of
tlio campaign will bo held nt the points
designntcd for the closing work.
In the report of the monster republi
can rally at this place last night TUB
BKK neglected to mention the magnifi
cent speech made by Rev. J. E. Tato.
His direction of the Omaha Hornld'n
cartoon was especially Imppy , although
severe and caustic , and his apprecia
tion wnn so plnln that democrats could
not be otherwise than ashamed of tlio
folly of their organ and mouthpiece.
The paper's cartoonist represented in
Friday's i sue the flag of England float
ing upon land nnd sea , frco. wliilo the
stars and stripes were unfurled U ) the
brcezo as taxed to death. Until twcntv-
two ycnr-s of age the speaker stated that
ho had resided in England , nnd cited
the fact that colonies of his pcoplo
could bo found all over the union who
had fled iroin the terrors of frco trade
anU half paid labor. "Not ono of
them , " said the orator , "cares to return
to that kind of freedom. " Continuing ,
he said : "Tho Herald's cartoonist tolls
the naked truth in picture. Democracy
caters to the desire of England anil
would reduce laborers and wage-earners
of protected America to n level with the
pauper paid labor of Europe. "
A wuger of 850 was made hero yester
day by a sanguine democrat that Mc-
Shane would go out of Douglas county
with 3,000 votes majority more than ho
polled over Church Howe two years
ago. Captain Payne and Walt M.
Seeloy joined hands and covered the
proposed bot. It was cither a cold blull
and the stranger had too much nerve to
back out , or he is a novice in
Nebraska politics. A number of wag
ers have been made of $ Uo to $100 that
Thayer will bo elected by 10,000 major
ity. Some of our conservative repub
licans nro confident that hin majority
will fall very little short of what it was
two years ngo. His majority in Lan
caster county is placed at 1,200 to 1,500
votes over McShnne.
The contemplated onslaught upon
Attorney General Loose by the railroad
strikers and bummers is watched hero
from every quarter. There is no tell
ing what the outcome will bo if this
deal is commenced. He is bv long odds
the strongest man on the ticket in Lan
caster county , and Laws and Benton
will suffer really moro than .Loose pos
sibly can. Tlio republicans of tins pro
pinquity do not love Laws any too well
at best. Any treachery to Leoso will bo
resented at tlio point of the bayonet.
There is no longer any fear of the
legislative ticket. Hall will bo
scratched somewhat to make Kelly , butte
to no great degree. McDrido's election
is conceded. Severino , Dickinson and
Caldwell will come in on the homestretch
stretch smiling and happy. Raymond
and Boardsloy , for the senate , will run
on a dead level if not ahead of the
ticket. Butler's assault upon Raymond
mend has strengthened him with the
party and floating vote. His charges
wore so absurdly false that they reacted
to his benefit. The house journals toll
the story of how ho stood too well whilu
in the legislature two years ago for the
voters to bo deceived. As a citizen and
business man of Lancaster county ho
stands side by side vith the best. "His
legislative record is remarkably clean.
