THIS republican state convention this
year has a tremendous responsibility on
its shoulders. Its action will either
mukoor break the party in the ensuing
election.
GAOB county democrats have swal
lowed the independent pill , coated as it
is by democratic sugar. The Gage
county democrat has the court house in
plain sight.
UNOLK SAM floated all the bonds ho
needed at 2 per cent while the Gorman
government failed to secure takers for
liors at S per cent. Uncle Ham's credit
is the best in the world.
GOOD crops , good prices and good
Benso nro n trio of possessions which will

DH. C.V. . MAGUXK. chairman of the
Ocala convention and editor of the
National Economist , was not given the
best possible certificate of character by

JDDOK HASIKU has boon nominated
by the Twelfth judicial district repub
lican convention for judge , and if an
able , upright , untrammelled man is
wanted on the bench of the Twelfth
district Judge Humor will bo triumph
antly ro-olectod.
RlCHAUDSON county democrats have
endorsed the independent nominee for
district judge. " It will bo observed hero
that the democracy has at least one eye
on the county court house at Falls City.
The courtjiousos nro besieged by demo
crats all along the lino.
TIIK Now York democratic platform
pronounces reciprocity u humbug. This
ihows how little business sense and how
much political nonsense thcro is in con
trol of the democracy of the Empire
Btato. If reciprocity is a humbug , com-
Inorco id an anomoly and trade a wild
Vagary.
ROSWKLI. P. FLOWKK Is the lumb led
to the slaughter by the governor-senator
of Now York , and his machine. When
the election returns are in Roawoll P.

but ho will know

tvbout Now York politics.
THIS yellow dog will not startle the
community this fall by rushing through
the respectable settlements with an al-
llnnco tin can tied to his tall. The yel
low dog will not bo In politics nftor next
November. Every dog has his day , and
the yellow variety having boon on dock
full twenty-four hours will got himself
into obscurity.
RlU'i'.iiMOANS will remember that in
the coming campaign there is no prohi
bition uug-bour , no antl-MoKinloy howl ,
no calamity shriek and no ohanco for
secret societies to bullilo/.o voters into
voting against their sentiments. The
republican party can go into the fight
stripped of every dond weight if the
convention will do its duty in nominat
ing an antl-monopoly ticket and adopt
ing an anti-monopoly platform.
A VAST difference oxlsts between

Omaha's efforts to secure the repub
lican national copvonlton nro bringing
her into a great deal of prominence , and
many loading republicans have ex
pressed their peed will toward the city.
Except In the political circles controlled
by rival cities and In Now York the
feeling toward Omaha in decidedly
friendly. The on tire west , BO far as any
expression lias boon obtained , is favor *
able. A litllo moro rigorous effort on
the part of our clti/ons' commlttoo la
very much needed. The guarantee fund
should bo raisrd and announced without
delay. A delegate should bo sent to the
Colorado state convention on the 29th to
press our claims among republicans
In that state , and from this
limo forward wo should have
n n active committee vi tiling various
parts of the United States in behalf of
Onrihn. If wo fall to secure the conven
tion with all the advantageous incidents
which are now on our side It will bo our
own fault and bo thu result of culpable
negligence.
As .a fair rollcotion of the sentiment of
loading republicans conversant with the
conditions prevailing in the west Tin :
IlKi : presents the following letter from
Hon. Preston H. Plumb , senior scnalor
from Kansas :
W sitixoTo.v , D. C. , Soot 12. To the Edi
tor of Tue HKK : I hnvo your favor of the
STilh ult. Omaha does everything so much In
earnest that I did not need your assurance
thntsho was putting forth her tiost licks to
secure the holding of tbo next national con
vention there. I nm not a member of the re
publican national commlttco , and have no In-
( lucnco with any ono who is. There nro , bow-
over , many things In favor of Omabn , anil I
am quite inclined to thinlc that if the decision
would rest with mo your people would have
no reason to complain. The location Is < ; oed ,
nnd If the hotel accommodations are sufll-
clontly ample , her chnnco ought to be of the
very best. In fact , 1 nm not sure but that it
weald bo a good nnd fair recommendation if
the hotel space was not sufllclont for the ac
commodation of the very largo crowd of people
ple who usually alto ml such conventions. It
sometimes happens that tbo crowd and not
tbo delegates mnko the nominations. Still a
good attendance Is dcsiroablo , and I do not
know of any reason why there would not bo
as many pcoplo at Omaha as there would bo
at Chicago , if the convention was held thoro.
For tbo reason hereinbefore stated , however ,
my opinion will probably have no weight ,
but Omaha Is likely to have tbo benefit of my
good will at least. P. B. PLUMH.

The fads which show the good results
of reciprocity leiivo no standing ground
for the opponents of that policy. Neither
democratic denunciation nor mugwump
success count anything against the
statistics which show that reciprocity is
accomplishing just what it was expected
to , extending the markets for American
products and increasing our com-
mnrco. Tlio statement just feont out
from Washington regarding the
result in Brazil is of the most gratifying
character , nnd yet trade with that coun
try since tbo reciprocity ngreemon * , was
effected has been subject to great ob
stacles. When all the difficulties are
considered it is certainly something for
the friends of reciprocity to boast of that
the exports lo Brazil in Juno of this
year wore nearly double in value the experts -
ports of the same month of last
year , justifying the estimate that
the increase for the year from
the time the arrangement went
into effect April1 last , will bo nearly
80,000,000 , nnd that wo shall export to
Brazil in the llscal year ending .funo HO ,
1892 , merchandise to the value of $23- ,
000,000. It is interesting to note that
the increase of exports is made up
largely of the products of agriculture ,
thus demonstrating that reciprocity is
operating directly In the interests of the
farmers of the country. This will doubtless -
loss bo made still more apparent in the
trade with the Spanish West Indies
under the arrangement with Spam.
The latest information regntding the
proposed reciprocity with Venezuela is
to the effect that the people of that
country are very anxious to have it ef
fected and that the delay In the uogotiu-
llans is not duo to opposition to the
policy , but to the doalro of the govern
ment of Venezuela to have certain
modifications in the agreement sub
mitted which are necessary to its
revenues. There ia no pronounced hos
tility to reciprocity , but on the contrary
the southern country strongly desires
an cquitablo arrangement , not alone for
commercial reasons , but it is said in
order also to obtain a stronger moral
support in the resistance which it is
making to the absorption of its eastern
frontier by Great Britain. President
Harrison , it is stated , has steadily re
fused to confuse the two questions with
each ether , but has intimated that
after reciprocity is accomplished our
government will do what the circum
stances permit to retard the aggressions
of the British empire.
The promise of a reciprocity arrange
ment between the United States and
Mexico is said to bo exerting a stimulat
ing influence upon the trade of the two
countries , the commercial relations of
which are growing steadily clonor. The
latest statistics show a gratifying Increase -
crease In our exports of merchandise to
Mexico , and give assurance that with
the obstacles removed and an equitable
system of reciprocity established the
trade of the United States with the
neighboring republic would in n short
time doublo.
Reciprocity has already berne good
fruit , and there is the strongest reason
to believe U will continue to do bo in
stemlily enlarging amount. Democrats
may characterize It as humbug , bocaiiso
it Interferes with their demand for prac
tical free trade , but the Intelligent
American voter will consult the facts ,
and those are uniform in support of the
reciprocity policy.
TIIK KKir YORK
The ticket nominated by the Now
York democracy is not in the interest of
the presidential aspirations of Governor
Hill. It is in offoot u declaration of in
dependence of the power and dictation of
that soU-sooking and unscrupulous poli
tician. It is an announcement that the
in nagomout of the democratic 11111-
chlno in the Empire state is to
pass into ether hands , whether or
not for the betterment of the party it
would bo hazardous to predict , though
it is safe to say that no control could bo
morally worse than that of Hill and the
tiieu who have obeyed his commands.
There Is nothing obnoxious to fair and
honest politics that has not boon prac
ticed by the democracy of Now York In
Into years. Consequently there la little
danger that democratic methods
in that state will be moro cor
rupt and unscrupulous than they
have been , nnd on the ether
hand there is little reason to expect
they will bo much Improved. The men
who have boon pushed to the ( rout are
not known to bo reformers.
Roswell P , Flower , the candidate for
governor , has been prominent In the
democratic councils of Now York ( or n
number of years. Ho has bcon In two
congresses , the Forty-seventh nnd the
Fifty-first , nnd was ro-olectod to the
Fifty-second congress. Ho did not par
ticularly distinguish hltnsolf us a legisla
tor , though ho did not wholly ( ail to com
mand attention. Ho is several times a
millionaire ) nnd spends money liberally
for political purposes. It was under
stood n month ago that Flower was Hill's
choice , but It baa recently boon revealed
that ho never expected to nominate
Flower. It transpires , nlso , that Flower
is under pledge to Cleveland. Sheohnu ,
the candidate for lieutenant governor ,
wns also understood n short time ngo to
bo the preference of Hill for that posi
tion on the ticket , but almost
at the last moment the tricky
governor sought to drive him from the
track , although ho was a supporter of
Hill's presidential asnlrations. Flower
and Shcohan joined forces and took com
mand of the convention , thus practically
driving Hill from his position of dicta
torial leadership.
The situation is ono that ought to bo
very encouraging to the republicans of
Now York. It can hardly fail to intensify
the factional conflict in the democratic
ranks. Hill is not rendered powerless
and being secure in his position ns a
United States senator for six years , ho
will not hesitate to use what power is
left him to defeat the plans of his ene
mies , who include everybody ho cannot
use. Ho has been thwarted , but ho will
not surrender without n very serious
effort to show that ho is still a loader
with a loyal following. At any rate this
would bo in accordance with his past
course , nnd ho is too shrewd n politician
not to see that if ho should per
mit the men who have bullied him
to hnvo everything their own way ho
might as well dismiss all political hope
( or the future. The indications nro'that
the action of the Now York democratic
convention is a distinct gain ( or Cleve
land , but this cannot bo fdlly determined
except by the result of the election. As
the situation is now presented demo
cratic harmony in Now York would seem
to bo almost impossible nnd all the con
ditions appear to strongly favor repub
lican success In November.
THE Now Yoric democrats differ from
their political brethren in Iowa in the
( act that they do not want the ( reo and
unlimited coinage o ( silver. They are
not monomntalists , bat they favor an
honest dollar and a stable currency.
Substantially adopting the phrase o (
President Harrison , they demand
that every dollar issued by the
United States shall bo as good
as every ether dollar. To have
boon entirely candid and explicit
they ought to have denounced ( rco coinage -
ago , but there can bo no mistake as to
what they meant. It sorvoa warning on
nil such democrats as Governor Boies ,
who ( uvor opening the mints of this
country to a flood of foreign silver and
paying n Inrcro bounty to American
bullion producers , that they have noth
ing to expect from the democracy o (
Now York.
TIIK Australian ballot will make it
impossible ( or the enemy to light ( rom
an ambuscade o ( bolted doors , and secret
lodge meetings. The people will regis
ter their honest convictions by an abso
lutely secret ballot. The now law
affords little chnnco ( or bull-dozing ,
bribery or other improper methods of
controlling elections.
MOIIBAUTV thanked God that there
wore democrats enough in the council
to prevent the confirmation of John B.
Furay. The councilman from the
Seventh ward was too devout and in
stead of thanking his Creator for the
events of the evening when the council
udjoi rued he was taking the name of
of the Deity in vain in another tone of
voice.
MAJOR FUKAY is finally confirmed as
a member of the Board of Public Works
to succeed himself. The major's con
firmation is proof that caucus combines
on the part of democrats nro not always
ns solid as they appear on the face. It
is also evidence that at least ono repub
lican tnombor o ( the council is very ,
very lonesome Indeed.
IT WOULD bo interesting to know just
how many delegates to the democratic
state convention rode to Grand Island
on railroad passes. It is clear that the
Omaha contingent literally hold the
roads up ( or scores o ( the coveted white
cards , knowing that at this critical junc
ture the railroads itaro not refuse to
grant such favors.
Tin : Sixth Ward Republican club is
patriotically at work preparing ( or the
republican jublloo of October 17th in
Exposition hall. It is proposed to de
vote the receipts from the sale of tickets
to a fund ( or the use of the citizens com
mlttoo appointed to raise funds to so-
euro the national republican convention.
To st'UT or not to split , is the dilemma -
lemma which presents itself with two
horns on ouch side ( or the contemplation
of the democratic stuto convention at
Grand Island.

branches of the government of Omaha

Those who say that it is. not the president's
business to travel about the country ore mis
taken , becnuso they mean that there is some
kind of impropriety In tbo journey. In ono
sense It Is nobody's business , except drum
mers , to go upon tbo road. But it is certainly
a business of the president to promote pub
lic good feeling , anil , as the cbief representa
tive of the government , to appear on pub
lic occasions of patriotic interest. Whatever
ho can Uo personally to cultivate friendly
relations between nil ports of the country ,
nnci , under the clrcntnstances , especially in
tbo southern states , Is well dono. President
Harrison's tour lust spring wns an excellent

remarkable , nnd undoubtedly promoted
liindly fooling. Ho would bo a fortunate
man If no other objection could bo mudo to

WASHINGTON D. C. , Sept. 10.
President Harrison hud n busy day of it
with those who merely called to welcome
him bock to Washington nnd to congratulate
him upon bis rugged appearance or speak of
appointments. There were A number of del-
Rations to request his presence at expositions ,
celebrations or ether publiu events. The
president does not Intend to Ic.ivO his post of
duty for the present. Ho has much work be
fore him with his annual message to congress
nnd n largo number of important appoint
ments.
It Is understood that the vacancies on the
court of claims , Interstate Commerce - commission
mission , a number of postmaster , possibly a
collector customs for tno port of New York
tosuccocdJ.3lo.it Fassett , tbo republican
nominee for governor of Now York , und sev
eral ether prominent places will bo tilled
within a very few days , pos
sibly this week- . The court of claim's
vacancy will llkel" go to n point
boyoud the Bucknyo state Instead of falling
to ox-Congressman Thompson of Ports-
month , O. The vacancy on the Interstate
Commerce commission made by the death of
Mr Bragg of Alabama will go south again
and prooably fall to Colonel Glenn , n well
known democratic lawyer nt Atlanta , On.
The other vacancy on the commission , ere-
nted by the resignation of Judge Cooley of
Michigan Is claimed by the same state and
tbo name of Hon. Alfred Russell of Detroit is
being urged by Michigan republicans , but no
conclusions has ns yet bcon reached and It Is
not at all improbable that some other
Wolverine republican may be called.
'Ibo suggestion that Attorney General
Miller Is to bo appointed on tbo now circuit ,
covering his native state , when tbo supreme
court appointments nro made about Decom-
bor.has taken dceu root in ofllcialnnd Hooslcr
circles , und is accepted now as n foregone
conclusion. It is nlso thought that the pre
determination to place him on the United
States circuit bench will have a strong bear
ing uwon some other appointments. Neither
the president nor the attorney general hnvo
spoken for publication upon tins subject , nor
have either made nn Intimation to their
friends , nor has anyone of them been author-
1/ed to speak for either , but acts In other
directions have led to the conviction hero
that General Miller will bo appointed to the
circuit judgeship.
JUT COME TO NKIIHASKA.
It Is stated tonight that the names of John
L. Webster of Omaha nnd U. M. Lambortson
of Lincoln nro being considered seriously for
for the place on the Interstate Commerce
commission vacated by Judge Cooloy. There
is a strong fueling here , as well as in the
west , that the country beyond the Missouri ,
which Is moro than any other section inter
ested in common carriers , not only should ,
but must have a member of the commission.
It has none at present.
The name of Hon. J. Sterling Morton of
Nebraska has bcon mentioned in this connec
tion but while ho is recognised us n verv
capable lawyer , his connection with railroad
interests and thu fnct that be is a democrat ,
and the democrat on the commission is to
como from the south , makes his appointment
out of the question.
