ILY BEE: MONDAY NOYI‘H\IHER, 14, 1831 I'HE OMATIA DA — ¥ NEBRASKA'S REPUBLICAN VOYE. November 9.—The Nobraska olection yesterday was & quict one, for the reason that only three state offices were to be fillod y of the supremo coure and Neow York Timee, Owana, Neb, net over two-thirds of the vote was polled, and in many parts of the state not half the vote of a year ago. The Farmers' Allianco Anti - Monopoly ticket was not generally an important factor in yesterday's eloction, exeept in Adama county, whoro all the can didates on that ticket, except county clerk, wero elected. Much had boen expected by cortain political shysters from this ticket but this new attempt to break the great strength of tho ro- publican party of Nobraska will proba- bly prove as abortive as did the Granger sion a few yoars ago. Threo counties elected democratic officors. Douglas eounty elocted a full ropublican ticket for the first timo in about 10 years. The majori- ties wange from 220 to 1,600. county electod o straight republioan ticket for the first time in soveral years, Hall county did tho same for the first time in its history, and thoy had a grand celebration over the event this afternoon, The Omaha correspondent of the New York Times is Mr. I. W. Miner, of tho Omaha Republican, a paper notoriously owned in part by officers of the Union Pacifis railroad company and wholly controlled by that corpora- tion. This explains the motive for the transmission of such a bare-faced tissue of falsehoods and shows to what disreputable means the monopoly cap- pors will resort in thoir efforts to creato false impressions abroad con- cerningthe political issues in Nebraska. It 18 true that thore was an eloction held in Nebraska on the eighth of November, that only three persons were voted for on the state ticket, that a light vote was polled and that the republicans have eiected their judge and university regonts by alarge majority. It is also true that through- out the stato much intorest was shown concerning county officers, but when the Omaha correspondent of the New York Times represents that the farm- ers alliance was not an important factor in the Nebraska election, he deliberately falsifios the election re- turnsand when ho represents the anti- monopoly leaders in Nebraska as pol- itical shysters, he insults some of the moat respectable men in the state.

What concert managers in theso days do not know about freo advertising is scarcely worth knowing. Tur Jersoy City antigmonopolists elected in the late election their can- didate as president of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, which is another The farmer’s alliance in Nebraska, organized ouly fourteen months ago consiats already of over thres hun- dred local alliances, and is rapidly ex- tending to every voting precinct. It has been the aim of its founders to achieve the 6bjoets of this organiza- tion within existing party lines, Ingersoll and Burrcws, the president ard sacretary of the state alliance, both republicans, issued an address to the members of that organisatien last st any separate political party movement. Tur Bae as the leading anti-monopoiy paper in the state seconded their efforts, urg- ing upon republican farmers to attend primartes and conventions and en- deavor to carry out their principles through the republican organization, unless the corporativns should compel them to resort to independent action by packing primaries and conventions with their cappors’ and henchmen. The president of the farmers’ alliance was a member of tho republican state convention held at Lineoln on the 1st of October, Othor members of the alliance participated in that conven- tion, but to their mortification the convention refused to voice pub- lic sentimeut about corporate abuses, The chairman of the convention, Mr Thummell, a Union Pacific attornay, packed the committeo on resolutions with known and notorious monopoly The of the Omaha Republican as chairman of this committeo withheld the resolutions under falso pretexts until the conven- tion had concluded all its business; the committoe refused to entoertain resolutions offered by Messrs, Eller, of Fillmore, and Ransom, of Otoe, denouncing existing abuses and extor- atool-pigeons, editor straw pointing to the growth of anti- monopoly sentiment. Ir is rumored that Secretary Blaine has been offered tho presidency of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad. Unless he has given up his prosiden- tial aspirations it is very doubtful whether he would accept the presi- dency of any railroad. No better indication of the sub- stantial basis of Omaha's prosperity can be named than the firmness of rents, mnotwithstanding tho increas. ing number of business houses. Stores are leased before the mortar is dry, and many are even engaged be- fore the building is begun. E——— Iris probable that an additional call of 3} per cont. bonds at par and acorued interost will be made by the treasury department before the close of the year. Becretary Windom's ad- mirable plan for replacing the high interest bonds by the 3§ per cents, payable at pleasure. will enable the government to dispose >f $500.000.- 000 of its surplus revenue in the dis- charge of its bonded obligasions tions by the railroads and demanding redress through stato and national legislation. The convention finally adjourned witheut saying one word on the most vital issue of tho day, It was becauso this republican con- vention, manipulated by corporation attorneys, had sought to repress pub- lic sontiment on the railway question that the farmers in many counties or- ganized an independent anti-monop- oly mevement for the election of local officers. So spontancous was this movoment and 0 intense the foeling that in spite of an opposing press and without campaign orators they elected fully as many county officors as tho republicans. Thoy carried not only Adams county, but elected everycoun- ty officer in Thayer and Hamilton counties, all but one officer in Fill- more, & majority of the ticket in Franklin, Butler, Polk and Buffalo, They electod the county treasurer in York and several officers in each Seward, Furnas, Johnson Red Wil low and a number of other counties, If anly three eounties had elected democratic tickets, as the veracious Temes correspondent represents, and stato tickot.

The general result of the fall elec- tions is favorable to tho republiean party. It was nob to be expected that in a yoar in which no national issues were Involved a full voto ocould be ealled out or the majoritios of a prosi- dential election maintained by the party in power. Thoro is always in every state and in every community & large class of voters who take no in- tercst in an eleetion unloss there is undue exeitoment in the campaign over some important issue. This ac- counts in part for the falling off in the vote, espocially in the largor cities, where business men failed to appear at the polls. Another element which in state and municipal elections al- ways affosts the vote to the disadvan- tage of the republican party is the growing feeling of independenee from party linos where purely local issues are inyolved. The scratching of bal- lots is often the protest of the in- dividual voter against improper party methods in the nomination of candi- dates. All those elemsnta conspired in the Iate elections to decrease tho total vote. In New York the entire state ticket was carried for the republican candidates by 12,000 majority, with the exception of Husted, whose pre- vious record insured his defeat. The trading off of assemblymen and sgna- tors in New York City for local cand- didates andobjectionable nominations in several of the legislative districts in the state has resulted in the cap- ture of the logislature by the demoe- racy, but as no senator is to be elected thie yeur this is a matter of minor importance and is more than offsett by the defeat of the demo- cratic ring and in the election of a republican mayor in Brooklyn, Massachusetts rolled up an increased republican majority of 43,00C votes, showing large gains in cvery portion of the state. Pennsylvania elected a republican state treasurer, although the independent revolt led by Wolfe indicated a wido spread dissatisfaction with Boss Cameron’s rule. In Con- necticut, Ohio, Minnesota, Colorado, Kansas and New Jersey the republi- can party held thoir own and in Vir- ginin the readjustors, aided by ropub- lican votes, wrested the state from the bourbons., In Wisconsin a heavy fall- ing off in the republican vote is noted, for which the prohibition element was principally responsible, but the state gave a majority of 5,000 to the straight ticket and the party held its own gen- crally in the town and county con- The only states in which the democracy swept the field were in Maryland and Miss other result would have boen surpri tests, ppi and any ing. Taken as a wholo, the repuhli- cans have reason for gratifi at the outcomo of the states arms tions in the eloven in which they have measured with the democracy to which should be added Towa and Ohio, whose tickets wera elected in October by heavy ma- jorities, But while the result of the late eloctions has proved that the majority of ropublioan voters are still true to their party allegiance thero were strong indications. im many quarters of a growing feeling of revolt on the part of the bettor element against machine rule and nominations, which were the result of packed caucuses and bossism.

The trial of Guitean, tho assassin of dent Garfield, beging at10 o'closk this morning, in tho court of the dis trict of Columbia, before Judge Cox y indication points to a todious extending over weeka and per haps months beforo a final verdict is rondered. The government has sum- | moned over one hundred witnesses for the prosecution, and on hehalf of tho defense geveniy-five subpanas have been issued. On the que tion of selecting @ jury considerablo diffioulty may be ex- pected, althoush Mr, Scoville, Gui- s not to search s counncl, pr for men who have not forined or ex- prossed an opinion on the case. Such a search would probably prove more diffioult than the expeditions in rearch of the north pole. Mr. Scovilles promises in eonnection with the trial ot his brother-iu-law must, however, bo taken with some sliowance, and many panols are likely to be exhausted before twelve men are found who will | bo acceptable, The eounsel for Guitean announce that they will rely upon the insanity plea for their dofense but they will wave none of their legal rights on the questions of jurisdiction. They ex- pect to bring upon the stand a mass of expert testimony to the unsound- ness of the assassin’s mind, and evi- dence that insanity has for years been a taint in his father's family. This lino of testimony will protraet the trial indefinitely, and current opinion in Washington does not place the close of the case before the end of the yoar. The prosecution will be represonted by District Attorney Corkhill, assiated by Judge Porter and Mr. Davidge. They have thoroughly prepared their case and express themselves as confi- dent of prompt conviction. They firat propose to establish the death, its cause and the responsibility of the agent, and to leave the details of in- sanity for rebuttal. They anticipate much delay in the progross of the case resulting from legal arguments over the admission of testimony for the defense. What the public is moat in- terested in 18 that the form of the trial be quickly concluded, for the trial of such a coid-blooded assassin can be nothing moro than a form due to the sentiment of obedience to law and fair play. Of the guilt of the prisoner there can be no doubt. The efforts of his counsel will only delay justice by prolonging tho life of a miserable wretch whose continued ex- istence bears testimony to the long- suffering patience of the American people. Tuz Bee the other day laid alleged republican defeat at the door of ‘‘the stalwarts,” and founded its charge on a lying reference to dispatches which neither that nor any other journal over received. Tt turns out now that the republican state ticket is elected with the exception of Husted; and the chief reason why Husted ran more than 10,000 behind his ticket was that he was a Vanderbilt monopolist of the most oftensive and dangerous sort, and his defeat came from the country districts of the interior and western New York, Even the New York Times, in its comments on election, expresses gratification over this result; and, speak- ing of the general outcome, it congratulates the party that although “‘many of the loaders who had opposed Mr. Conkling feared that the state ticket would be sacriticed by the stal- warts,” such would be the result. On the other hand, the defeat of Mr. As- tor in Morton's republican district was duo to the outspoken epposition of the Tim Post, Harper's Weekly and other anti-Conkling journals. The only reason for this opposition, put forih by these papors, was that Mr, Astor stood by Mr. Conkling in the utest over the senatorship. — Lepub- lican, A few of the lies in this statement of the}epublican. require avswer. In the firat place Tue Ber stated a fact which it is useless for the Republican or any other journal to deny, namely, that the Albany stalwarts scratchod tho state ticket largely. This fact the editor of Tho Republican may find in Tue Bee and every other newspaper that printed full clection returns on last Wednesday evening. Tur Bee did not lay the alleged re- publican defeat at the hands of the stalwarts, It simply stated a fact. It might with equal propriety and with equal truth have stated that many anti- Conkling men oxercised their royal right to vote as they pleased by refusing to support candidates which they thought objectionable. Tue Bek on Thursday “laid Husted’s de- foat to s objectionable monopsly record. Itis singular thac o brass slaughtered by the business men and the younger votors. In Nebraska the dissatisfaction with many of the local party nominations resulted in the eloction of Democraticand Alliance tick- ots through the votes of men who had previously accorded a hearty support to republican nominees, The same foature of tho elections is noticeable in Connecticut and Wisconsin, while in Massachusetts, whore the primary elections and caucuses aro conducted with fairness, an overwhelming ropub- lican majority was the result. 1f ye. publicans at large will grapple with the living issues aud place in nomina- tion candidates of ability and fn. the remaining counties that did not tegrity, thoy will have a good working collared organ like the Republican, feols sompelled to support our view o} the case, by stating that he was “a monopolist of the most offensive and dangerous sort,” although such a statement is gospel truth, There wero candidates of a very offensive and dangerous sort mnearer home which the people of Nebraska protested against at their Inst election. These, however, the Republican did not dare to denounce the | street cleaning billand his fight against the Harlem flats joined to a general incapacity to think and act for himself. This was the ground of the opposition to his can- didacy by the Temes, Post and Ifar- por's Weekly and not his fidelity to Mr. Conkling in the senatorial fight. improvement, IOWA BOILED DOWN, The ncres, A 8120,000 opera house is to be built at Marshalitown, The value of the improvements in Tnde- pendence this year foots up 853, The nsecsament of Dubuqu. 175, and the total tax is §1 Manchester shipp pounds of butter and of eggs, The Waterloo Turners have frescoed anc otherwise improved their hallat a cost of 8,000, Osceola's new kchool houss s neerly completed, When finished it will evst lowa lead fields include 200,000 r 86,082 | 75 di uation of Scoth eounty fer 1881 402, The tax levy foots up #217,108.54, A fence costing #2,370.40 has just been eomploted about” $he conrt houso grounds | 7 at Bloomfield, The net recoipts of the lata Maerey he pital tair in Dubuque were the handsoms wum of $3,500, But little thrashing has been doo in the nort: western eounties, on aceonct of the unfavorable weather, A company fnom Toronto, Ont., will soon start s large pork packing establish- nient at Fort Dodye, The glucose works at Des Moines have been rold to parties who will remodel the building into a woolen factory, The commercinl traveling men of the northwest will give their annual banquet at Den Moines, December 16th, Dubuque is to have a new oat-meal mill of mammoth proportions, eapable of man- afacturing sixteen carloads a day.
