THE eminent colored pugilist who de feated an eminent white pugilist the other dny in London is now mentioned as ColonolJnckson. 'This is difficult to understand. A great majority of the men who are called colonels never fought a battle in their lives. OVER 60,000 moro immigrants have landed In this country during the past ton months than during a similar period of the preceding year. They are drawn hero larpoly by reports of the activity of the World's fair and also by the fact that they expect to bettor their condi tion. IF GKNCMAI * SLOCUM should bo nomi nated by the Chicago convention the whole country would have to begin studying the history of the war of the rebellion. General Slooum was a good soldier but ho haa boon almost unknown outside of Now York state for a quarter of a century. THE financial and commercial * situa tion ns indicated in Wall street promises loss disturbance than usual In conso- quoncoof the approaching presidential election.

" What a precious trio to boom the candidacy of un honest man , Will ) t3 MOST AVA1LAIILH1 Every intelligent observer of the political situation cannot fail to roiillr.o Unit the vital question to bo doall with is , who can carry the doubtful states in 1892 ? The Important doubtful states nro New York nnd Indiana. Who Is most Hkoly to carry New York and Indiana ? It Is admitted that the doubt ful states will exert n strong influence on the convention , and it is manifestly proper that the sentiment of the repub licans of those states should bo given its duo weight. What does it appear to bo from the notion of the state conventions ? Indiana's delegation to Minneapolis wns Instructed unconditionally for President Ilnrrlson , ana there has boon no volco of any Influence in that state-raised against this action. Nobody whoso opinion is worthy of consideration pretends that any other republican would bo stronger in Indiana than the president , nnd it is question able whether any other would bo ns strong. Harrison has always boon a power in his own state and there Is not the slightest reason to believe that he has declined hi the respect and conll- donco of the ropubltctitib of that com mon wealth. On the contrary It is reasonable to assume that because of the honor ho hits rotlectod upon the state through the splendid euccoss of his ad ministration that ho is much stronger there now than four years ago. In Now York the republican state convention , whllo it did not instruct the delegates- iil-largo , was unmistakably favorable to the ronominatloii of Harrison. A num ber of the district delegates nro pro nounced Ilnrrlson men mid the rank and file of the party are not opposed to the president , . There is unquestionably a largo element in the party that pre fers Mr. Blnlno , but it is not prepared to follow Mr. Platt and some other implac able opponents of Mr. Harrison in sup porting anybody to beat the president. If this element cannot have the candi date it prefers it will cheerfully accept lliirrisou and give him its support. Mr. Dopow probably understands the politi cal situation in New York as well as uny man , nnd when .ho says that President Harrison can carry the atato again hia opinion is entitled to at least equal weight with that of Mr. Platt and other cncmios of the president. The republicans would have as good tv chance of carrying Now York with Harrison risen ns with any other man , und n bet tor chance of carrying Indiana. Ho would bo as likely us any other candi date to carry the other doubtful states and ho would bo as strong as nny ono in the republican states. In short , any fnir and unprejudiced study of the situa tion must load to thoconelusiou that the Minneapolis convention cannot select a stronger nnd moro available candidate than President Harrison. OMAHA'S Ul The importance of a railroad connec tion between Omaha and South Dakota points nnd with the Great Northern sys tem has often boon pointed out Our jobbers would derive inestimable benefits - fits in trudo that is already looking to Omaha us1 the great western supply dis tributing point. Back of this trade is iho enormous live stock intoro.sU Thou sands of cattle and sheep that now find a market in Chicago would so ok the Omaha market because it is'noaror. The railroads north of us nro not at all anx ious to make the connection with Omaha and shorten the haul on live stock ship ments which now go to Chicago. They cannot bo expected to do so until forced to it. it.Right Right here is where the importance o the Nebraska Central enterprise is shown. No sooner did the news roach the Great Northern managers that Omaha wns about to vote a subjldy in aid of a road which would at once malco Omaha a strong competitor for n vast volume of northern trade than these managers announced their projected line between South Omaha and Yank- ton , which has in fact "been surveyed. But there is little assurance that the line will bo built. The idea that it i& heralded to weaken the position of the Nebraska Central proposition before the people of Douglas county is probably correct. It may safely be assumed that this surveyed line will not bo built should the Nebraska Central enterprise fail. It is barojy possible on the other bund that when the Nebraska Central road opens this immonbo northern trade to Omaha , the Great Northern system will eventually bo forced to remove the embargo against Omaha and seek an entrance to this city. The success of the Nebraska Central ontornciso will make Omaha the second moat-packing city 'in the United S'.ates. The stock yards will double their capacity and millions of capital will bo invested in other and larger packing houses. 'With those improve ments the population will increase in dun proportion , property values in nnd around South Omaha will advance nnd another great stride in commercial pro gress will have been mado. tlAl'PY NKUUASKA VAllMKRS. With the brightest nnd bluest of Juno skies mulling above them nnd the fields responding amazingly to the influences of the balmy weather , it is dlfllcult for the people ot Nebraska to realize that many neighboring states are suffering from disastrous Hoods which threaten ruin to tholr crops this your. A largo portion of the Mississippi valley is Hooded , and us the season is so far ad vanced that recovery from the clToots ol the water is impossible the farmers look upon the situation with gloomy fore bodings. In Kansas , Kentucky , Mis souri , Arkansas , Texas nnd other states the crop prospects uro bad , and in Iowa nnd Indiana , whore itvaa thought n few days ago that the wet season was ever , the farms have again suffered a tre mendous drenching and much ot the land whore corn and other crops ought to bo growing is under water. : * In Nebraska the crop outlook Js very bright , and as the indications are all In favor of n continuance of good'weather , the farmers are contented , and happy. As the prosperity ol the whole utato de pends upon that of the farmers , the people ple have peed reason to congratulate themselves upon the prospects of the year. Whllo there la uo inclination to rejoice ever the misfortunes that have overtaken leea favored localities , it li reasonable enough for the people of No- jraska to take some snUsfnetlon in con- otnplatlng the advantages which they vill gain In the way of plentiful har vests and good prices by reason of the unequal distribution of the rain. A short crop hi the Inrgo district now looded will necessarily send prices up , ind unless nil signs full the farmers of Nebraska will have money in Ihoir mrscs this ftv'l. It Is no wonder that , hey wear smiles and count Ufa worth living. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ s/.rait AT MixxK.ii'ottts. It now transpires that the object of the renewal of the silver ngltitlon in congress is to exert influence on the na tional conventions of the two parties. A prominent bulllonntro Is quoted as say ing that whereas the delegates might otherwise have boon glad to shirk the question on the plea that It had boon de cided In congicss to postpone the whole subject , now that congress hud taken up the silver issue pgaln the conventions will not ( lure to ignore it. This will apply much bettor to the Chicago than to the Minneapolis con vention , for the obviou * reason that thoro'has never been any thought of the latter Ignoring silver. The republican party hue no closlro or Intention to avoid the silver loOtio und its representatives in national convention will undoubtedly declare the position of the party on that question in explicit and unequivocal terms. It Is entirely safe to predict , also , that there will bo in the declara tion no encouragement for the advocates of free and unlimited silver coinage by the United Slates independent of any arrangement with other nations. The convention will favor n bimetallic cur rency under conditions that will avoid the danger of bringing the country to the single silver standard which is in volved hi the policy of the free silver ad vocates. The attitude of the great ma jority of republicans on this question is so well understood that the course to bo puMucd by the convention is perfectly plain. The party is not unfriendly to silver. It is fully committed to a bimetallic cur rency. It is responsible for the legisla tion that makes nearly the entire silver product of the country available for use ns money. It does not intend to recede from this pofitioirso long as 'tho policy shall be found to work ns satibfactorily as it has done. But it is opposed to opening the mints of the United States to the silver of the world , knowing that the inevitable result of such n course would bo to exclude gold from circula tion and drive it out of the country , dc- mornlizo the financial and business sys tems of the country nnd produce wide spread injury from which the agricul tural producers and laborers of the na tion would bo the largest sulTcrors. It would bo hazardous to predict what the Chicago convention will do rogarfi- ing silvan It may ignore it , as the last national democratic convention did , or it may adopt some kind of a straddling compromise , as a number of the state .emocratic conventions have done. It vill make little difference , however , inco the party is distinctly on record , lirough the action of its representatives n congress , in favor of free and unlim- ted coinage. But there can bo no doubt hat the Minneapolis convention will speak on the question plainly and fully , ind the character of its utterance will ) o in complete accord with the past ) olicy of the parly. NOTHING could bo moro absurd than opposition to the Nebraska Central pro- oct on the ground that it will benefit only a part of the city. Every intelli gent and practical man knows that nny raprovomont or enterprise which helps one portion of the city must Do un ad vantage to the entire community. The iropoaition is BO obviously sound that it does not noud extended illustra tion or argument. The idea that so com prehensive an enterprise ns that of the Nebraska Central , which contemplates n largo expendturo ! of money right in Omaha and permanent improvements xvhich every sensible man admits nro needed , will not contribute to the gen eral prosperity is too feeble to stand Borious discussion. THE mayor was right In insisting that iho issue between the chairman of the Boirdof Public Works r.nd the street commissioner shall not bo allowed to longer interfere with the work of re pairing the streets. The manifest duty of these olliclals is to "got together" nnd put the streets in proper condition. Besides consideration for the con venience nnd safety of our own citizens , Omaha will have many thousands of visitors this und next months whoso comfort it is desirable to provide for , at least to the extent of having the streets id passable condition und clean. A LAKQE portion of the fish supply of the middle states comes from the great lakes , Luke Erie alone furnishing 25,000 tons annually. Fish commissions in the stales bordering on the lakou , and nlso in Canada , are talcing measures to still further increase the supply of food fish In these great waters. There is scarcely nny limit to the possibilities of artificial hutching , and the wonder is that the woi k wns not taken up sooner. It might bo profitably introduced in many lakes and rivers which now afford practically no Huh supply nt nlL Tut : Baring Bros , of London have wiped up $5,000,000 , of the debt which they ewe to the Bank of London.

The prompt rescue by the Bank of London was n noble act nnd ono for which it deserves great credit in pre venting calamity well nigh Incalcula ble in its extent , YEARS ago THE BEE pointed out the great advantage of suburban day trains on all lines centering in Omaha. People in neighboring towns nro thereby en abled to" leave homo in the ' .morning , spend the day in the city nnd return in the evening. The Union Pacific now runs four local day trains Into-Omaha. Tills will help retail and wholesale mer chants and it will help the road ; Other roads must do Ilkowlso.

" SOUND AND SOUND-WAVES. Applied AcmiUIr * IlliKtr.itcil by the CrclRliton Cnllcfro Student * . An interesting lesson in natural philoso phy , which \\m called n specimen In ncous tics , was given last night nt Crolglilou colleco by Iho clnsi in physics. The college chapel wns thiongod wltn people Interested in Iho work and experiments ot tbo class. . After a plnno and violin duct by F. 1\ Kennedy and J. A. Davis , an ode to muslo was road by l . Dolan. It wns very clover with tbo exception of the young man's Im perfect enunciation. D. .1. O'Flnhorty explained by examples nnd experiments some ot tbo sounds by acoustics which belong to the hearing. It has for Its subject the study of nature , the production nnd Lho perception of sound. Ho explained that sound , strictly speaking , was a sensation which was produced when vibra tions ot n certain character are excited in tbo auditory apparatus ot tbo oar. Vibrations generated by progressive tremors In the at mosphere nro called sound-waves , Mr. O'Flnhorty ' also explained by oxnmplo the transmission of sound from ono pronp to the other of u tuning fork by vibration. Ho said It was on the sntno principle as that on which thunder shook the grouud , or the heavy explosive breaking and slinttcrinir window glu s. The partlcUU of the air and all olastlo media are ordinarily maintained In n stain of equilibrium ana rest , by mutually ropcllant forces' When any particle Is disturbed from itsntublo position , it is by nn Impulse re ceived from some body foreign to the mo. dlum , and It n solicited to rot urn by n force directly pronoilionato to the distance or amplitude of Its displacement from that point. The velocity nlso with which il is animated on reaching Its return point ot original rest Is directly proportioned to the extreme amplitude of its displacement , so that. In vlrtiio of Its Inortln. It malcos an equal and similar excursion in the opposite direction. When in its return from this It roaches once moro the point of equilibrium it will have passed ever thn entire rnngo of its movement in both directions. This constitutes ono eum- plolo oscillation or double vibration. Spooking ot tbo propagation or reflection of lound. ho said th o rapidity of the propa gation of iho tremor through iho elastic medium was , for all tremors produce the sbnsitton of sound , vastly greater than tbo velocity ; and this velocity of propagation Is uniform , although the several velocities of the particles of the medium which succes sively take up the tremor diminish with the Increase of tno exalting force tbrough a con stantly increasing number of particles. Recently several pieces of apparatus have been duvlscd by wbicb the velocity of sound can bo measured whou the distance traveled ever is only a few foot. It is now possible to miikc such experiments. The Intensity ot sound , It was held , varied Inversely as tbo squaro.of the distance of the sounding body from the oar. It is also pro portioned to the square of the amplitude of tbo sound-wave. The waves of sound can bo reflected like tbo waves of light , and obey the same law , the angle of incidence being equal to tbo angle of reflection. This was proved indirectly with the aid of spborioal mirrors , though , from the circumstances that the sound waves are larger | relatively to such reflecting surlacos ns ran bo used tbo experiments were far rnoro difficult than with the almost Infinitely shorter waves of light. A circular disc with open and closed sec tions or with sections ot different materials , Is made to revolve rather slowly near a sounding rood in such a way that the sound is from time to time rolnforcod by reflection. Tbo result I ? , that u sound resembling "tho beats" U produced , these alterations of sound ana comparative sllonco disappearing when the diso is made complete , orwbon it&nltorn- ate sections are composed of substances hav ing tbo same powers of reflection. sound-waves , ho said , were nlso rendered visible. Uocently tbls feat was accomplished by the German physicist , Toplor , who em ployed the snap of an electric spark for tbo generation of tba sound-wavo , und then 11- luminatod it by the Instantaneous light of a second spark. Ho wns thus not only able to sec with distinctness a simple sound-wavo but also to observe Its reflection , rotractton and the Intortoranco of two sound-waves. Tbo physical theory ot muslo was also sat isfactorily explained by F. T. Kennedy who spoke of tbo pitch and Intensity of sound , tbo latter being mentioned above. Ho also showed the musical vibrations , imperceptible to the oye. per second. Ho talked of the fundamental and intermediate notes in music necessary to make notes har monious. J. D.iuiby treated the subject of viorations of strings , rods and plates. He said that all sounds were the result of vibratory motloni , and that the vibr&tion of strings depended entirely on the lecgtb , diameter , stretching power nnd specific gravity of tbo strings. It was shown that the sensation ot sound wns produced by tbo stimulation of certain nerve libers of the aural organ , and this re sult is brought about by the sound waves in thin manner. Those waves first strike upon tbo external oar and possibly are , to some slight extent , concentrated Dy it. After wards tboy travel along a tube and reach thu tympanum or drum of tbo ear. This consists of a thin mombrnno which closes tbo nvrnriml niiaKniro. nnd which is cannblo of being sot in vibration or of responaing to an Immense variety of waves and Impulses. Sourd pipes were also explained. Tbls subject was admirably handled by P. E. McKilllp. Ho dwelt on air bolng a medium for transmitting sound. He gave examples on miniature pipe organs. Tbo class in physics was assisted in the entertainment by tbo class in vocal muse , which rendered several songs. HEADING FOB MINNEAPOLIS.

Norfolk News : Tbo chlof linpodlraont In the wny of the movomoiit to nominate Blulco at Minneapolis Is found In the fnat that the follows at the head of It nro not Blalno' * ftlonds. Uoalrlco Republican : Clnrluon , Dudley. 'Q\a.y \ , Eorakor Dnd Fnssott uro not opposing 1'roildoiit Ilnrrlson as they protond. In the true inlorost of thn party , but merely to gratify their personal envy and hatred. If President Hurrlsou hud appointed these parties to positions In his cabinet and clothed oilier * In tbo Judicial urmlno they would to day bo his onlhusiastlo supporters ; but as lie , in the interest of the people , cboja cleaner ana ublor men they now propose to boat him nt all hazards. Thun again , thov nro not really frlonda of IJlalno , as Uorotoforo they have boon bis most formidable onomlos In national conventions. Niobrarn Pioneer : The fight being made by ClarUson , Platt and others within the re publican party to defeat Harrison is by no moans munly. As much ai most republicans would Hko too sue Snorotary Blalno presi dent , tbo men loading the forces nro not of that class that elevates the party or are true to Blnluo. Mr , Clorltson had opportunity to do soiuo things wbon bo was second assistant postmaster general , but bo aid not do thorn. Boc.vaso ti'o was not made ono of Harrison's cnbmot ho is out ontlralv. Hoa Cloud Argus ; Some say , l"if you put Hosowntor on the national committed , it will muUo him n blggor republican than some body olso. " The true ambition of every man ought to bo to become bl himself , by doing things thiit are generous , broad una manly , and by currying out the wishes of his party , cvun when it is against his own individual wishes. You can't make- yourself big and Hoscwator little by doing things In n little , narrow , selfish way. Violate the Instruc tions of the stnto convention and you will maito yourselves appear llttlo and Uosowator appear big. Crete Vidotte : Whon.Hosc water said ho didn't HUe nichards It made no difference to the republican party ; it went right on ami elected Hichurds just tbo same as If there hadn't been any Kosuwuter. Rosewater was not In It thon. Wow , when Hloharas says ho deus not Hko Uosowtucr , the republican party pays no attention to Mr. nichards , but directs that Mr. Uosowator bo made commlt- tooraan from this atato , and Mr. HlrhurUs is not in it with his opposition. Mr. Klchards will bo n delegate , Mr. Hosowator will bo the commlttoomnu , but the republican party will bo the ooss of thorn both. Norfolk News : Undoubtedly no statesman In tbo republican party has so largo a follow ing or oo many frluiuU within the party ran Us who would rather see him than nay other man in the presidential ohnir , than James G. Blalno. At tbo same time tbo warmest und best friends of the plumed knight would not have him nominated by treachery to President Harrison or through the manipulation of such moo as Matthew Stanley Quay and Thomas C. Platt. That is the situation in a nutshell.The only way to nominate Blalno honorably at Minneapolis would bo through tbo voluntary withdrawal of Harrison from tbo race bofora the ballot ing begins. Unless that is ilono too name of the Maine statesman should not bo brought into the contest , and will not bo with bis consent. Nanco Countv Journal : The president's administration has boon able , clean and suc cessful. There has been no scandal or dis honesty chargeable to him , which is some thing that no administration has boon en tirely free from. Undoubtedly ho would bo the strongest candidate who could possibly bo put up at the present timo. Onl CJuzl : Personally , wo would like to see Blaine as president. Wo believe , also , if nominated ho would bo oleutcd. But tbo chances of his election would bo greatly ro il u cod by a nomination rushed through at this late data. Had ho not announced long ace that he would not allow bis iiamo to be presented at the Minneapolis convention , and had ho entered the race early there is little douot that ho could have boon , nomi nated and such a nomination would have boon Huro election. But at this late date , after declaring that ho was not in the race , for him to accept the nomination over the bead of tbo man under whom he holds the highest appointive position in the land , would be unjust and would certainly cost him many votes. Wo do not believe ho would doit. Sutton Aavertiser : Kosewator prejudice said : "Hicburds shall not go to the national convention. " Richards prejudice said : "Rosowntor shall not bo a member of the national committee. " But republican Judg ment stood up and said : "Ulcbards shall go to the national convention and Hose water shall bo a member of the national commit tee , " and when Bon Harrison had boun nom inated , llojowator. the national committee- mnn , snld to tbo manuring editor of Tun BRR : "Pull the throttle wldo open , nml turn this whole machine loose for the repub lican ticket. " And tbo woods of calamity wore withered under the burnlinr sunlight of republican truth , and McICoighnnlsin WAS nulled tip by the roots mid thrown ever the fence , and when republicans gathered 'round tbolr campltros on tbo Oth of November they shook bunas ami said t "Truly party Judg ment u creator than personal prejudice , and Harmony Is n bigger man thsn Splto. " Grand tsl.iml Independent ! The opponents of Harrison's nomination are lucronslng tholr activity ns the time for the convention is fast approaching. The thing looks n llttlo too much llko a loorot conspiracy nml Is onglti * ocrcd by men , who have not n very s&vory reputation. If Blntno really ttoos not want to bo n candidate , ho ought to have long ago suppressed this wont douo mainly b ? Platt nml Quay against Harrison , nml if ho wants to bo u candidate ho ought not to have said , that ho U no candidate. Blalno would bo n good n cnndidnto as Harrison ns fur as tha enthusiasm of tholr frlondi is concerned , but for Harrison speaks bis excellent record nindo during his wbolo administration , and under all circumstances It Is dangarous ami injurious to got up a useless strife , which may load to bad results In tbo olootlon. Uoatrlco Express ; The Hxpross hopes that no man o ilho nlxtpon who will roprosunt Nebraska nt the national conven tion will undortuko to sot up his Individual will , or his Individual prejudice , against the expressed wishes of the republicans of the stnto In stnto convention assembled , whoroln Mr. Hosowator was designated nt the party's cholco for national committeeman - man , The republicans of NobrnsKn inow what they wnntod when they refused to roc- oguizo the quarrel against Mr. KosewiUor or his onomlos. Itsn happened this year that sev eral of these who aspired to bo delegates to the national convention wore men who bail seine personal grievance against Mr. Rose- wator. These men wcro elected ns delegates , not because they were Mr. Hoaowalor's onomlos , but because tboy were satisfactory in thomsolvos. But whou they attempted to coerce the a Into con volition against Mr. Rosewater - water , the rabuko was overwhelming und positive. To carry this personal quarrel into tbo national councils nnd Ignore tbo wish of the stnto convention is n dnncorous nbuso of coull'Jonco , and tbo man who does It will rcgrol it. The party in this atato Is not in n mood to bo trilled with In this matter , nnd the newspapers that are advising It should stop their folly if they bnvo regard for the welfare of the republican party. York Tlmos : It is unquestionably the duty of n representative , whether hu bo a legislator ; doiogato or proildontlnl doctor , to faithfully represent the known wishes of bis constituency. To pursue any otbor conrso Is to bo guilty ot gross nnd Inexcusable treach ery. It Is not for him to question the motives of these who hnvo conferred n trust upon him. ills duty Is to execute the trust faith fully , honestly nnd without reserve. The state convention nt Kearney loft no room for doubt as to Its wishes on two subjects nt least. 'It dnsircd tbo ronotmnaUon of Don- janilu Harrison and it doslred that E. Hose water should bo national committooman. It had n right to express this wish , and the republicans ot the state have a right to demand that It bo carried out by tbolr repre sentatives. The state convention selected four mon to represent the ronublirrm party of Nebraska in tbo Minneapolis convention , and it told tbom plainly what tbo republican party ol Nebraska wanted tbom to do. For thorn to refuse to do as requested by the con vention would bo ns rank treason to the party ns for n presidential elector to cast bis vote for the candidate of the opposite party. They were not chosen to represent thorn- solves , nor tholr personal piques nor vbims. They nro to represent the republican party of Nebraska , and if tboy refuse to do an the cou&equoncos will bo upon tboir heads. If they disrupt the party and overwhelm us in defeat , wboro victory is easily within our prosp , If they are the causa of turning the electoral vote of tbo state ever to the Inde pendent party , nnd of defeating the repub lican state ticket , they cannot shift the blatno nor avoid the responsibility. Lincoln News : Tbo News has but llttlo sympathy for the movement now on foot to induce the Nebraska delegates to the Minne apolis convention to disobey their instruc tions In regard to making Mr. Hosowator the member of the national republican com. miitce. The present year , above nil others , should bo marked by per fect good faith among all republi cans. The Kearney convention made its rcoominondatiou in iho intorojts of harmony. It Is puerile lo assort that the eight hundred and odd ropublioaus nt Kearney recom mended Mr. Hosowatcr bccauso they fonrod him or bccauso ho compelled tbom to. The delegates at Kearney wcro neither henchmen nor canards. They neither obeyed Mr. Hosowator nor feared him. They wora men who realized lully the political situation in Nebraska and tboy mapped out a program which was bast calculated to Insure success in the coming campaign. The mon who are advising the delegates nt Minneapolis to break faith and word with tbo republicans who sent thorn ihoro are not actuated by zeal lor party success. They openly acknowlpdgo that they prefer defeat without Mr. Kosowntor than success with him. They stand before ttao republicans of tbo state solf-convictod in tholr efforts to give tholr party n back-handed blow for tbo suko of gratifying n personal animosity. Their counsel ii unworthy of tbelr own In- lluonco nnd standing 'In tbo party. Tbo re publican party deserves better advice at tbolr hands. It is unnecessary for the News to either j explain its position or apologize for its cours < f"x in this matter. It Is n republican paper and acknowledges no fealty to faction. It do- eiros tbo success of tbo republican party above all else , nnd it does not hesitnto to express its conviction that , having accepted the honor from the convention nt Kearney , the delegates lo Minneapolis should either obey the letter and'splrlt of the Instructions or remain nway. & co.
