"Maine was republican anyhow, and it don't make any difference, practically, how great the majority given." Democratic papers. Higgins is not complimentary to some of Nebraska's great men when he eaye, "Since the days of David Butler, our governors might just as well havo been bo many basawood logs." "We have very Jitllo faith in politi cians who "do not lovo their country, and who fail to ecc the hand of the opprcesor in measures calculated to crinnlo and destroy the business of their fellow citizens. It is announced in the eastern papers that it is probable that Blaine and Cleveland will come west. It will givo the citizens on the routes they may travel an opportunity of peeing both candidates. Higgins, in the last Democrat says, "It is true that many good, sincere and patriotic Irishmen aro advocating tho Plumed Knight." And in anoth er place, "It is cafe to say, as a genor al proposition, that the truo and gen uine Irish-American friends of Ire land arc to-day found In tho demo cratic ranks." uThc principle of the jntblic regula tion of railway corporations is a wise and salutary oneor the jirolcclio)i of all classes of tcoplc, and we favor legislation thai shall prevent unjust discrimination and excessive charges for transportation, and that shall secure to the jtcoplc and to the rail ways alike the fair and equal jwolcc- tion of the lair." I'cpublican Plat form. It is claimed that the democrats will have in a few days a subject that will demand more of their attention than the Mulligan letters. They will bo confronted with Grovcr. Cleve land's frco trade record. His denial of his having tried to influence mem bers of congress to vote for the Mor rison bill will not stand. It can be shown that ho wrote to speaker Car lisle, V. K. Morrison, and Mr. Dors hcimcr expressing opinions favorable to the bill. "TintEE cheers for" Higgins, "ho was witty last week ; but hold on, come to think of it," we cannot cheer very lustily, for tho wit consisted merely in writing a man's name with small letters, thus, "patrick ford," and a man is not entitled to much praise for "wit" so close fetched. The tal ented and influential editor of the fruit World has quite a number of admirers even in this county, and will probably survive the ordeal of having his name- spelled with small letters. Fisheu and Mulligan letters were given tho public with a view to pre judice the people against Mr. Blaine. Mr. Blaine has been interviewed re lative to those lotters and says that his desire was that every voter in tho United States might read the letters for himself and not form his judg ment from editorial misrepresenta tions in partisan journals. There was not a word in the letters, Mr. Blaine added, which was not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor. He hoped every republican paper in the United States would publish the letters in full. The Irish World, ono of the lead ing papers heietofore supporting tho Democratic party, is against Cleve land this campaign, and is doing a good deal to make the situation plain to all its readers. A recent number represents Cleveland sitting at his governor's desk writing a veto. A friend named English Freo Trade stands a little in the back-ground and gloats over the situation of aflaira; a workingman with a petition in his hand stands at the door, while the governor's obsequious lackey says to him: "The Governor is now busily engaged writing his veto of your last petition, and he cannot sec you. Call around early in November and he will bo happy to receive your favor." The workingman evidently thinks that the oflicia! who will not xead hie petition will not get his vote. "When the would-be friends of Ire land adopt the arguments of her bit terest enemies, there must be some thing wrong. For twenty years tho arch enemies of Irish freedom have been hounding her patriots and nob lest sons with just such charges as the Democrat now throws at all Irishmen who have hoisted the banner for Blaine and Logan, viz: that they have been living in palaces and feeding on money fleeced from their dupes, but in spite of all thiB abuse they have worked on, and to-day have good sense enough to see that Cleveland and his backers, in no act or deed of their lives have shown themselves to bo either the friends of the laboring man or of Ireland ; they can easily see that such American political. mounte banks and British flunkies as Curtis, Beecher and Hewett of O'Donnel fame and others are for Cleveland and seeing no good for them or their country in such company, they are flocking to another camp where they are sure of getting better treatment. TheBC are the sentiments now moving such men as Alex. Sullivan, John Dcvoy, John Bush, Patrick Egan, Senator Grady, John Finnerty, our townsman Dan. Condon and thous ands of others. Are these the men who havo grown fat on money fleeced from servant girls, or aro they tho men who seeing the right dare pur sue it? Political. Preparations are being made in Now York for at least two meetings to be held in the city soon of the Irish-Americans in the interest of Mr. Blaine. One of the meetings is to be addressed by Sullivan, the late president of the land league, who resigned his position so as to bo more free to work for tho election of tho republican ticket. Tho other meeting will bo addressed by Congressman Finerty, of Chicago. Tho condition of affairs in the city and state is con sidered good for the republicans. Hamilton Fish has come out in a formal card saying that he intends to vote for Mr. Blaine. This is a great blow to the democrats, who havo been making a good deal out of Fish's alleged desertion the past week. Emory Storrf, who is here, con tinues to rasp up tho Independents. Ho said last night: "I could gather together in some humble parlor all tho Independents of tho United States. I do not believe I would find one in that modest gang who would not object to my reading tho Ton Commandmontfl upon the ground that 6tich reading would have a tendency to raise a scandtil ihsue and cast personal reflections upon the dem ocratic candidate." Wk recommend to our Irish American fellow citizons the careful reading of an address issued by Bicbard O'S. Burke, chairman, Charles Hanley, Goo. M. O'Uricn, W. II. Mulcahy, P. F. Murphy, Wm. White, John Groves, Dan' O'Kcofc, Patrick McArdlc, Michael Cody, Ex ecutive Committee, from Headquar ters Irish-American Blaine and Logan club, Omaha, Sept. 12th, '81, and which address was submitted to the club by the executive committco, adopted and ordered to be published. Uichard O'S. Burke, President, John B. Fury, Treasurer, John Quinu, Sec retary. It gives tho chief reasons which have influenced them to sup port the candidates, and sustain and promoto tho principles of the repub lican party. If our space would permit wo would gladly publish tho cntiro address which would occupy seven or eight columns of the Jour nal. Doubtless by application to the above executive committee at Omaha any reasonable number of the ad dresses cpn be obtained. It is in our estimation a valuable address and should be in the hands ot many voters to enablo them to correct many one sided partisan statements, which often mislead voters. A Goofl Tariff Story. A good tariff story is told on B. Stern, a Milwaukee miller, who re cently paid a visit to his native prov ince and Groat Britain. While on the other side he made it a business to visit all the flouring mills within his reach, and thus learned a good deal about the milling methods, wages paid employes, etc. He came home a short timo ago, and the first day he visited his own mill he went to each one of tho mill bauds, from the head millor down, and told them that he had been looking into the foreign milling business thoroughly and had come to tho conclusion that the only way that American millers could com pete with European millers was by manufacturing at a less cost than now, in other words by paying their help less. "Now," he added, "wo can never get these wages any lower until we havo free trade, and I waut you all to vote for Cleveland and free trade, lheu wo will have a steady market for our flour. Do you sec?" They saw, but not as their employer did, and now there arc several mill employes who aro "whooping it up" for Blaino aud protection. A hill of discovery has been filed by Sluumaker's attorneys in the Maine-Sentinel libel suit. This bill when properly understood mcaus that the defciidcnt has a good defense on his plea of justification, but is not in possession of tho facts, and unless by some just aud equitable ruling of tho court he can compel Mr. Blaine to furuish him all the facts, tho fatal calamity will happen tho case that further proceedings will bo per petually stayed aud restrained. The bill was not filed uutil a late hour, and court adjourned without taking action. Since writing the above, tho dailies bring Mr. IMaino's answers to the several questions, being virtually tho same facts as set forth in the Phelps letter which we publish. Ex-President Garfield's two sous Henry and James, are seniors at William College, and bright boys, too. The Electrical Display. The exhibit at Philadelphia has opened. 228,000 square feet of space are set apart for the buildings. There are twenty-one exhibitors of electric lights and methods of generating light by electricity, and 4500 lamps, which, when lit, produce a wonder ful effect, being so arranged that no shadow is to be seen. A correspond ent says that a flood of white light rivaling day in purity and brilliancy falls over everything. The Edison Company have a splen did display of the wori of the great inventor. An electric railway is to be one of the must interesting features of the exhibit. Several sewing ma chines, looms, a ruling machine and a printing press are run by electricity. The display of telephones includes the original instrument used by Bell, and others showing his progress towards perfection. An electric organ pours forth muBic, electric clocks tick, and a brood of chickens hatched by an elec tric incubator "peek" to the delight of visitors. The third session of tho North Ne braska annual M. E. conference met at Blair, Sept. 10th, with Bishop Wil lard F. Mallalieu presiding, who at the close of the session read the ap pointments for the several districts composing the North Nebraska con ference. Among them we note Al bion, J. L.

Gearhart, Madison C. B Heywood, Schuyler R. B. Wilson. Citizenship of the republic must bo the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it. Tho American citizen, rich or poor, nativo or naturalized, white or colored, must cverywhero walk secure in his personal and civil rights. Tho republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of tho hnmblcst man who owes it loy alty protection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand. James G. Blaine. A terrible murder was reported tho other day from Coal Valley, Fayetto county, West Virginia, in which Smith Olden and Aloxandcr Tinchcr wore involved in a quarrol, when Olden struck Tinchcr with an axe, cleaving his breast open from tho right shoulder through both lungs and hoart, part of tho heart dropping out of tho gaping wonud. Tho murderer was arrested. Two masked men entered tho house of Miss Mary Gilfcller, near Mans field, Ohio, tho other night, and de manded her monoy. Sho gave them $100, claiming that was all she had. The robbors then bouudhcr and ap plied a burning lamp to her feet, en deavoring to extort more money, but tho young woman persisted she had given it all up. Tho villains then left the promises. The Young Men's Republican Club of Plattsmouth sends Dr. Miller of Omaha a pair of suspenders, so that when he addresses an audienco, if his vest is so short that be cannot pull it down, he may be ablo to draw his pants up: Tho next timo the Dr. spcakB to a fastidious Plattsmouth audience, he should wear a longer vest. Foreigners in this state to entitle them to vote should take out their declaration papers thirty days beforo tho election. If we count correctly, tho time for doing this will expire on the 5th of October. Those who lovo their country will not fail to cast their votes, and at once attend to securing the necessary papers. Senator Van Wyck delivered the other afternoon a spicy address at the Salino county fair. He didn't dwell so much on raising crops to mako monoy, as cutting down freights and taxes and squaring up the school land frauds. By his remarks he re lieves Gov. Dawes of school-land frauds. Cait.

Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." En. Journal. About the only "reason" :ho Blaine Irishmen givo for their apostacy to the democratic party is that Harper's Weekly, George William Curtis aud a few other old enemies have come over to the democrats. We read a short time ago that several prominent Eng lishmen had joined tho Catholic church. It is in order now for these Celtic Blaineites to discard their old religion. Why adhere to a church that will admit an old enemy into its fold. Democrat Sept. Villi. That the above is the only reason givou by "the Blaine Irishmen for their apostacy to the Democratic party," or "about the only rcaHon," is a pure libel and comes either from the waut of better material, or tho want of soiiee enough to use it. The reasons have been given, many of them, and plain enough;, but this disciple of darkness refuscs'to understand them. . What is tho width of a man's head, anyway, who thinks that a refusal to vote for a candidate, whose nomina tion is a blot on bis party, is apostacy to that party? Is a refusal to follow any Hue, laid down by a man's party, apostacy, or is it the intelligent exer cise of tho right of free American citizcuship? That is just what is the matter with the Democratic party and tho Irish vole; they havo whipped it in for 60 many years that they have forgotten that perhaps an Irishman might have an idea of his own. The absolute control of tho Irish vote by the Democratic leaders and small fry plotters, although a little smoother, is not much better thau the Anglo-Saxon control of our Celtic brethren in Ireland. Tho present break of the Irish voto towards indepen tent voting, based upon their own convictions, is one of the best signs of tho times for the future of Irishmen in America, let the present motivo or the result of this election bo what it may. And several "prominent English men" have j oined the Catholic church ! Well, well ! We had heard of several "prominent Englishmen" being in tho Catholic church a long timo ago ; but, Mr. Democrat, stop throwing dust aud yet down to business. There is a groat diilerenco between discarding one's religion and discarding an un worthy apostle of that religion. It must be your patent discovery that it is apostacy to a church to cry down a priest ot (hut church, if lie h-ipponcil to be a fraud. We are Blaineites bo causo we believe that Clcvelind has neither the seutinicnt, character, cour ago nor ability to reprosent the truo Democracy of this great nation. Anothor libel is that tho Republican party is the old Know Nothing party, when the fact is that thero was never an electoral voto ca3t for a Know Nothing candidate for president in a northern state all wero from tho southern or slave states, the portion of "thiB country that was solid for human slavery and solid for Bourbon democracy. Tho Democrat would much obligo tho writer by showing wherein tho democratic party has earned tho re gard of Irishmen, or why it is that party of the dark ages claims to bo tho special friend of tho Irishman.
