The Democratic orators have given
up Maine and are being hustled into
Indiana. They will And their can

The Herald of last week started out
to tell who it was for Senator but failed
for aome reason. Probably that paper
is for some McPhereon county man,
as it was in 1876.
The total population Of the State is

Congressional district is 404,344 ; the
Second District, 256,336; The Third
District, 335,620.
Hon. W. J. Bucjian has been re
nominated for State Senator in Wyan

is certainly deserved.
The crow eater across the alley tries
to drown his agony in gulping down

to work well, somehow.
Crown Jewels are getting out of

It is stated that John A. Logan and
Charley Farwell have joined teams to
beat ex-Minister Washburne out of the

was too weak a Grant man to suit Lo

Farwell.
Senator Hkxdkicks is credited
with saying that the Republicans will
probably cary Indiana, and that Bill
English Is a dead weight to the Dem
ocratic ticket iu Indiana, though he
"would not like it to become known
in New York."
Minister Noyks, writing from
Paris, expressess the opinion that the
French Republic is growing stronger
all the time. There is much croaking,
but it conies princljially from the old
Monarchists and from foreigners who
have no Interest in the Republic.
If Wichselbaum, the brewer, who
has been nominated for State Treas
urer on the Democratic ticket, should
base bM claims on the excellence of
his beer, he would get most beautifully
left, as it is the mot villainous con
coction that was ever dished up to a
white man.
Tammany and anti-Tammany have
reunited and harmonized their differ
ences. UncIeSammy has dropped into
tbeshade,and thus the principal boneof
contention is removed. Notwithstand
ing the Democracy of the Empire
State Is practically solid, the State will
be carried forGarfleld in November.
We believe that there is no opposi
tion In this county to the proposition
to nominate no one for the Legislature
who is not heartily in favor of the pas
sage of laws regulating rates of freight
on railroads.- A candidate who can
not premise to do all in his power for
the passage of such laws should never
come within a "gun-shot" of the
nomination.
If the Kansas City Time continues
giving wood cut representations of the
candidates on the Democratic State
ticket of Kansas, there won't be a
corporal's guard to vote that ticket by
election time. Senator Ross' picture

REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVEN-
TON.
The Republican State Convention
met at Topeka yesterday. Gov. St
John was re-nominated by a vote of
220 for to 102 against. The ballot was
as follows:
St John 220: Carpenter 39; Henry
40; Inman 3; Davis 5; Steel 7 ; John
A. Martin 1; Henry King 4; George
T.Authonyl; Tbacber 2; total 322.
Hon. D. M. Valentine was nomin
ated by acclamation for Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court The con
vention proceeded to nominate a can
didate for Lieutenant Governor, with
the following result:
First ballot : Langston 51 ; Taylor
118; March 6; Finney 67; Smith 31;
Clark 49 ; D. R. Anthony 1 ; total 324.
Second ballot : Taylor 126 ; Finney
68; Clark 43; Langston 37; March 4;
total 316. No election.
No result was'reached and the con
vention adjourned until this morning.
We have had no further returns.
Langston, whose name appears in the
ballot for Lieutenant Governor, is a
colored man. C. E. Faalkner was
chairman of the committee on Cre
dentials and ..Torn Cavanaugh was
Secretary of the Convention. We
place the names of the nominees as
far as we have them at our mast head.
.THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION
At the Republican convention of the
Fourteenth Judicial Convention held
at Ellsworth yesterday, Judge Pres
cott was renominated by acclamation.
We publish the proceedings in another
column. Judge Prexcott has filled
this office for the last nine years, and
this renomination is but an exhibi
tion of the high appreciation the peo
ple of this District have of him. There
is not another man in this District so
popular as Judge Prescott
Harvey and Butler.'counties consti
tute a Senatorial District. T. B. Mur
dock.of Butler county, was nominated
for Senator four years ago with the
promise that Harvey county should
liave the candidate this time. At the
convention held at Newton the other
day a split took place, resulting in the
nomination of R. W. P. Muse as the
candidate from Harvey county, and
Murdock from Butler county. It is
said that Butler county has the most
votes and that Murdock will be elect
ed if the Democratic nominee of both
counties does not walk off with the
baggage. mmmm
One of the most useful books for
perusal during the present campaign
is the "Republican Manual," by E.
V. Smalley, (retail price 50c., 7c. extra
for postage) which is a review of the
history of the Republican party, con
tains biographical notices of the can
didates, .extracts from the grand
speeches of General Garfield, the let
ters of acceptance of both candidates,
and very much valuable information.
The campaign speaker should have a
copy by til means ; every Republican
in the land should possess one. Send
to the American Book Exchange,
Tribune Building, New York.
The Republican camp fires grow
brighter every day. The Republican
hosts are strongly entrenched. Re
enforcements are coming in every
hour. There is disaffection in the
Democratic ranks. To the Democratic
leaders the clouds appear to glower
and blacken as their standard is ad
vanced towards the Republican strong
hold. The omens -are bad. "The
oracles are dumb." The Delphic deity
refuses to respond with reference to
the success of the battle. Defeat is
becoming plain to them and it is with
disappointed hearts that thev are pre
paring for their last battle the over
whelming Waterloo of Democracy.
General Weaver, notwithstand
ing what lias occurred in Alabama,
still believes that the Greeubackers
hove a chance to carry some of the
Southern States. He so lielievea be
cause the men who comprise his party
will not submit to such outrages as
were peipetrated in Alabama. The
Greenback State Committee have al
ready served notice upon the Governor
of Mississippi that any attempt to pre
vent the public discussion of political
issues will endanger the peace of the
State, and General Weaver declares
that there cannot be a repltition of the
outrages practiced iu Alabama without
provoking violent opposition in that
and all the Southern States.
It is laughable to see the witless
Rat across the fragrant alley join in
the chorus of "WtvaSt John." He
endeavors to make people oblivious of
bis course a few months'' ago when he
was blackguarding St John on the
exodus question and calling him all
the bad names he could think of. His
obsequiousness to the Governor since
his candidacy for re-nomination has
been of the most sickening charac
ter. The true and tried St. John men
who fully understood him have given
him the "go by" on every occasion,
feeling that it was unsafe to entrust
him with any of the particulars of the
campaign, lest he should trade this
knowledge to the opposition for a few
dollars. Their estimate of him is the
same as that of the Governor, who has
denominated the Rat an ''ass."
The Democratic State Convention
met at Topeka hut Thursday and nom
inated the following ticket : Govern
or, K. G. Ross, of Douglas county;

THE
Capt. C. W. Banks is the choice of
Saline county for State Senator of this
District. At the county Convention
last Saturday the delegates to Linds
borg were elected in his interest, al
though they are uninstracted. We
believe it is the wish of the leading
men of Saline and McPherson coun
ties that there ."ball be perfect har
mony in all the" proceedings at Linds
borg, and tliat the candidate nomin
ated there shall be heartily supported
by both counties. Saline county now
presents Capt, Banks as her candidate,
and she does it with the belief that if
he is elected he will make an efficient
Senator and faithfully aud impartially
represent the interests of both
counties. We certainly hope that
there may be no bad feeling exhibited
on the part of either county, and that
the delegate when they atteiuble
shall act as men who have the intercuts
of the Republican party at heart, ami
not those of any particular section.
The handsome, gallant and accom
plished Democratic nominee for Pres
ident, who is styled the " superb," !
not sweeping things so evervvhelm
ingly as his trainers and groomers had
fondly hoped. Beauty does not com
mand a premium in a Presidential
contest It is generally admitted that
Hancock is a handsome man and gal
lant soldier. When that is said the ar
guments in bis favor are closed.

THE KIND OF A MAN TO SELECT.
East Smolan, Aujjust .'a), is).
Mit. Editor: We have jut had our
Conventlpn, from which we sent del
egates to the State, Sciialoil.il and Ju
dicial conventions, but we are still to
have another convention to nominate
county officers and also a Representa
tive. Several important county offices
at this limo Leeonie vacant by expira
tion of time of service; but llio most
important place to be filled at this
time is, undoubtedly that of Repre
sentative. It seems at this time to be conceded
by tlio QpiMH!iol,f "iat the eo)e will
in November ratify the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution, but
the fight doc uot end here. The op
position to this amendment, like the
unjust judge, propose to regard neither
Goil nor man, and the voice of the
people Dlll.st be stilled in the halls of
the legislature. Wel;nuw that money
is power, ami the love or money the
root of all evil, and it is the love of it,
ei?ardlos of how obtained, that in
vites aud stimulates the opposition to'
this prnjioMHl amendment. We Know,
too, ti:i! the liquor interests have mil
lions they are icady tf) qse for the de
feat of this measure, in any place and
every way that it rail le used to ac-aceoiiipli-h
their iurMise; and they
are, no doubt, e.H'cting to find the
love of money so strong in the hearts
of some who will le sent to Toieka to
make laws this winter, that they can
be Ismglil for money.
This ia time we want In he doubly
eareful that every man is uImivc suspi
cion iu this, uveu if he docs not have
the mental ability of some who are
less honest. We have men living in
our midst and holding high office in
our county whom I have heard say
that every man has his price aud can
be bought. If you only give him
enough, When I heard it I said, there
is a man who can bought at a small
figure, a-s has since lieen proven. We
want no such men to represent lis at
this time, nor any man who has used
money, or with his knowledge kt
mitted it to be Used to intluelice his
election to office, in any way that is
dishonorable or corrupting, I rare
not who he may lienor what hlsstand.
ing is in society. Kansas has already
made herself odious by the bribery
that has been disclosed and made pub
lie, and it is high time for u reforma
tion iu this artlcu!ar, and let it U-giu
at once and at home. But the whisky
ring is pot the only power to contend
with at this time. If any legislation
is attempted in good earnest with a
view lo reuucing railway iarc ami
freights, here is another power with
unlimited money at their control, and
who will put forth their utmost ell'urts
to ileieal any measure oi mis kiwi.
But, brother farmers, this legislation
muM come aud it ought to come now.
Forbearance has. In the ease, ceased to
be avirtuc.and It becomes us to prepare
for the affray; and when we make a
determined and united effort, victory
will be ours. Let us look out from
among the tillers of the soil (and we
invite the merchant, mechanic, labor
er, and the professional man to aid us
iu this selection) oue whom first, we
can Iruatiu any emergency; and sec-J
oudly. who hu ability and energy,
and of whom we nod ask no pledge;
whosecharacteruill be sufficient guar
anty that he will do what he can,
not for himself but for us. ,

THE MGHT EDUCATION FOR AMERI
CAN YOUTH.
From an adJnM at lllraui (Ulnr, June 11 lssr.
lqrGtD.JaaA.;irtr.. -i
It is well to know the history of
those magnificent nations, whose ori
gin is lost in fable, and whose epitaphs
were written a thousand years ago
but If we cannot know both, it is far
hotter to study the history of our own
nation, whose origin we can trace to
the freest and noblest aspirations of
the human heart a nation that was
formed from the hardiest, nuresi an. I
most enduring elements of American
civilization a nation that In- it f.;n.
and courage has dared and amun.
plished more for the human kuv in
single century than Europe accom
plished in the first thousand vears of
the Christian era. The New Enirlan.l
township was the type after which our
federal government was modelled,
yet it would lie rare to. find a college
student who can make a comprehen
sive and intelligible statement of the
municipal organization or the town
ship in which he was born, mid tell
you by what officers its legislative,
judicial, and executive functions arc
administered. One-half of the time
which is now almost wholly wasted,
ill district schools, ou English gram
mar, attempted at too early an age,
would be sufficient to teach our chil.
dren to love the republic, and to be
come us loyal and life-long supjiorters.
After the bloody liaptisin from w hich
the nation has arisen to a higher and
nobler life, if this shameful defect in
our system of education be not speed
ily remedied, we shall deserve the con
tempt of future generations. I insist
that It should lie made an indistieii-
Biuiecuiiuiiioiioj grauuuiiou in every
American college, that the student
must understand the historv of this
continent since Its discovery 'by Euro
peans, the origin and history of the
United States, its constitution of gov
ernment, the struggles through which
it has passed and the rights and duties
of citizens who are to determine its
destinv and share its glory.
Having thus gained the knowledge
which is necessary to life, wealth, In
dustry, and citizenship, the student is
proiared to enter a wider and grander
field of thought. If he desires that
large and liberal culture which will
call into activity all his powers, and
make the most of the material God
has given him, he must study deeply
and earnestly the intellectual, the
moral, the religious and the lesthetie
nature of man; his relations to nature,
to-civilioition, past and present: mid
above all, his relations to God. These
should occupy nearly, if not fully, half
the time of his college course. In con
nection with the philosophy of the
mind, he should study logic, the pure
mathematics, and the general laws of
thought. Iu connection with moral
philosophy, he should study political
and social ethics, a science so little
known either in eolleges or congresses.
Prominent among all the ret, should
behisstudyof the wonderful history
nf the human race, hi its slow and
toilsome march across the centuries
now buried iu ignorance, suierstition
and crime; now rising to the sublim
ity of heroism and catching a glimpse
or a het'er destiny; now turning re
morselessly uway from, ami leaving to
to erish, empires and civilizations iu
which it had invested its faith and
courage ami boundless energy for a
thousand years, aud plunging into the
forests of Germany, Gaul aud Britain,
to buId for Itself new empire Utter
fitted for its new aspirations; anil at
crossing three tliuu.-und mile of un
known sea, and building in the wil
derness of a new hemisphere its latet
and proudest monuments.
DEMOCRATIC PERSECUTION OF COL-
OREO MEN.
Democrats often complain that the
colored men are .mi universally Repub
licans. But what else can they expect?
The Democrat in parly kept tlic colored
men iu slavery as long us it could, and
now that It I nominally free they
treat colonsliKiiplc. so shamefully that
iu Very self-defense thev must lie
Republicans. What would bethought
iu Kansas of taking :i mill out and
giving him thlrty-iiiue lashes on the
hare back for a ietty debt? Yet this
is uhat they do iu Virginia with black
men whom lu Democrats wish toper
secute. The, incident is relate, I In the
following speeial from Washington to
the Xew York Tritxntr;
Wasiuxotos-, Aug -i.. full offi
cial history of a disgraceful cuM-of out
rage has reached thcTri-isury Depart
ment from the collector of Internal
Revenue for Ihe Piter-burg, Va., Dis
trict. A colored man named Davis,
who rented laud from Pond, white
man, was witness against the latter
before the I'liitcil States Commission
er to the fact tliut Pond sold liUor
without laying Internal Revenue tax
es. Pond Immediate Iv went before u
justice named Kindred and hail Davis
arresuii, diargcii with oiitaluliig two
dollars ami a half, aud atterwanls fifty
dollars in goods under false prcten-c-.
When the case came up Pond failed
to sustain his charge, and it was ills,
missed. Pond then charged Davis
with Mtit larceny, in inducing a col
ored man named Myrick to lie his se
curity for a suit of clothes. Myrick
refused to make complaint, and Davis
upon his application restored the
clothes. The Justice, however, con
victed lijin and sentenced him to lie
whipiieil. An appeal to the county
court was refused, as wa also time for
his attorney, who lived near and hail
been Informed to atteud the trial.
Although he was an invalid he wus
taken out and given thirty-nine hube
in an Inhuman manner. His hands
were then tied, and a rope was fasten
ed around his body, ami In that way
he was paraded throughout the city,
and put In jail for six months, al
though the sentence is altogether ille
gal. It was shown that the Justice
declared before Davis's arrest that he
would liave him whipped as soon as
he could get a hold upon him, as he"
wished to teach him that he could not
appear before the United States officer
amiiut a citizen with iiuounitv. As
.Davis. U illegitlly irnpriwmcd, and Is
wanieu a a wuneso by I lie unlleif
States, the case will be laid before the
Attorney -General for action.
