ROSEWATER, Editor Omaha Daily BEE, DEAR Sir:—In an article in your paper last evening, headed, “A Postoffice Paul Pry,” you take the liberty of using my name, and the misrepresentations you make are so inexcusable and uncalled for that I do not feel justitied in atlowing it to pass. Yousay I expressed surprise at the “miscake.” 1 donotremem- mer making any expression at all, but if I did, it certainly was not sur- prise. Iremember the clerk hand- ing you the letter with an explana- tion and apology that seemed to be perfectly satisfactory to you, and would have been entirely satisfacto- ry to meIf it had been my letter. The opening of the letter, as he ex- plained, was not & mistake, but an accldent, aud one that I should think was very liable to ocour. As you have already given my name toi:he public, I ask youto publish this. Yours for justice, Sax. BAUSERMAN. The above letter came to us too late for Tuesday’s publication. As the columns of the BEE are ever open to any explanations, whether favorable or not, we publish the above, even though the proprietor is absent. From a conversation with him, however, when here, we can say that he admitted that he #aid “it’s all right,” ih reply to the question whether the money con- tained ia the letter corresponded with the statement, but auy one at once can see that in order to be able to ask that question, the clerk must have kuown that there really was money in it, and it was afterwards that the suspicions referred to in Monday’s lssue were aroused. ‘We have received a letter from a prominent citizen proposing a meth- od of investigation which we think will soon set this question at rest, and if the facts are as Mr. Stout rep- | resents the BEE will exoneratehim in due time. Under any eircum- stances, however, the public cannot avoid concluding that it isa very careless way of doing business in a post office.

A large amphitheatre, to cost persons, I to be erected immediate- 1y, the location being opposite the Judges' stand. It is to be a substantial structure, and will afford 8 commanding view of the race track. The necessary lumber, has been purchased, and was conveyed to the grounds yester- day. The arrangements for this big improvement were concluded yesterday morning. Al the cattle, hog and sheep pens have been completed, and will afford ample accommodation for all the stack that will be on exhibition. The race track is to begreatly im- proved, and is to be fenced around the entire course. The Douglas County fair will take place before the State Fair, and will begin on the 22d of this month. The State Fair will begin on the 23tn. Everything will be in readiuess for the County Fair. It will be to Omaha's interest to see that the County Fair is lasgely attended and made 8 success. —Tuesday night it was raining all along the line of tke Union Pacific, and at a late hour it began snowing at Cheyenne, and was coming east- ward at last accounts.

There also were plous churchmen like Ijams and Ed. McShane; and there also were the political clans from nearly every county north and west. Seldom, if ever, did such antag- onistic elements commingle so har- moniously. This jovial harmony was, however, mainly to be as- cribed to mellifluous and exuberat- ing influences of the excellent in- strumental music of Thieles’ City Band, backed by a keg of Metz & Brother's very best lager. The spiritual influence of that keg upon the political section of the excursion ! was strikingly exhibited by several Omahosses, whose boisterous Lulari- ty furnished considerable amuse- ment to the boys. At the Plattsmouth junction we were reinforced by a number of Cass county delegates, candidates and wire pullers. Among others, we noticed Master Porter of the State Grange. THE GRANGE INFLUENCE. In order to ascertain the extent and tendency of the Grange in- fluence I engaged in conveesation with Master Porter, who informed us he had just returned from Wash- ington. In reply to the question whether he would consent 1o be- come a candidate for Governor in case the Republican convention should nominate bim, he replied very emphatically that ne should not consent since he had all he could attend toas Chief Granger of the State. But, said he, 1 am going Jown to Lincoln to take a hand in one thing, and that is the treasurer- ship. I propose to exert my influ- ence to secure the nomination of Mr. Clark. Who is Clark ? said T, and he replied. He is the cashier of the First National bank of Platts- mouth. _ Consistency thou art a jewel, I ejaculated, mentally. Here we have the Grand Master of Nebraska Grangers openly co-operating with a bank monopoly, and advocating the claims of a candidate whe wants to become State Treasurer, in order to be able to loan the people’s money to his bauk customers at 12 per cent. Comment is unnecessary. THE POSTAL BRIGADE was in full force on the train, Sep- ator ¥ost, flanked hy Chief Head Clerk Vandervoort, Special Agent Furay, Mail Clerk Adamsky, and lesser lights, were conspicuous in their button-holing attentions. They were evidently trying to feel the pulse of the delegates, with a view of being oa the winning side, We regched Lingoln ut 4 p. m., and found at least two-thirds of the delegates already on the ground. Button-holing and thimble-rigging were the order of the day, Briga- dier General Welch had thrown oft the niask and declared himself a candidate for Congress, thus verify- fog the BEE's prediotion, made months ago. His chances, how- ever, are decidedly slim. Garber and Buckworth are the only men so far talked of for Governor, with Garber decidedly In the ascendant. Tzschuck, - Renner, Valentine and Gosper are the candidates for Secre- tary, while Clark, Bartlett, Weaver and MoBride are prominently men- tioned for the Treasurcrship. The opposition to Judge Crounse, which yesterday claimed to muster considerable strength, has finally become convinced that his renomi- nauon is a foregone conclusion. Brigadier General Welch has just announced kis decision to v‘v’nhdraw entirely, and Crounse will be nomi- b A e T Govens: orship is drifting with a very strong current toward Silas Garber, while the otner offices will be hotly con- tested, Last night the Lincolnites were regaled at their Opera House by the best Omaha Musical musical talent, composed of the ladies and gentle. men of the Catholic Cathedral choir, and the orch stra of the ©Omaha City Band, under the lead- ership of Professor Degker. The house was weli ftilled and would, doubtless, have been crowded to overflowing, had not a severe rain storm prevented many from attend- ance. The audienceexhibited much enthusiasm and general satisfaction with the entertalnment. o ® ‘Third Ward Registration Notice.
