THE OENSUN FORGERS, ~ 44 My scrap book contains, among other thigs, the following interesting note out of the St. Louis Globe- Democrat: WasaiNgToN, D. C, June 283, secroetary of siate for Nebraska, 5 J. Alexauder, said to-night that if the rebub- licans in_his state did not have a hard fight, politically, this full, they would make one. Thue indications were that there would be several candidates in the field for governor. But it was a little too 50 1 to kuow who the aspirants would be, although there would be mauy candidat s for .congress in two of the districts that have just been or ated Mr, *Valentine 'd be returmed from the First district without opposition, Col Tom M. jors, i hat was known as the istrict,” anl that it em. s, Lincoln, and the county of Otoe, Senator Van Wyck’s home, and that a lively contest was promised 1n that district, What changes a few weeks do make, to, bo sure’ As a political weather prophet, Alexander was not a great success, olse he would have have known that he was to be among the politically dead before the cam- paign had fairly begun. That bogua ceusus certiicate was the last nail in his coffin. Judging from the newspa- pers in the North Platte country, Valentine is not destined to be re- turned without opposition, and Tom Majors, poor Tom, has gono with Alexander to the happy hunting wrounds, a victim of too much conti- dence in Valentine's man Friday, Peter Schwenck. Alexander was emi- uently CORRECT IN ONE THING, The indications are that there will be several candidates for governor, buv the race is not always to tho awift, nor the batile to the strong. When the lezislature was in session in 1881, the slate was made up for the governosship in the state house. It was agreed between Thurston, Nance, and the other schemers that Diwes was to be the coming man, Dawes had played it way down deep on Paddock, HE HAD BARGAINED to deliver Saline couuty to the man from the state of Beatrice, but he ‘was all the time supporting him with a monopoly reservation to make Nance On one memorable evening when Church Howe and Dawes and Thurs- ton had arranged for the springing of the Nance boom Dawes was seen sliding through th corridors of the Commercial, with ' little ribbon in his button hole t} was to signalize the break from Pad- dock, but the boom died a horning, It was not as big s Frod Fye's fly speck, and poor Dawes went home with a very large black eye and a sore hoad, Van Wyck's election was the first bad break of the Dawes’ slate, but the sorrel top from Saline has by found in this city, both for Ladies’, Ohildren and Gents', which we sell at aeasonable prices, Heimrod & Dormann, no means given up, as he still counts on Thurston and Nauce to reward his treachery, and I am reliably informed that he counts on the backing of both corporations, There is, however, A LION IN HIS PATH. Saline county is tired of hIVIuF only one great man to mouopolize all posi- tions of honor and trust. She has done enough for Dawes and the indi- cations are that she will present the Corner 13th and Jackson, | name of Hon, C. Duras for the posi- tion of state treasurer. Mr. Duras not edit the Omaha Republican, e has been treasurer of Saline county during two terms and is & man in every way qualified for *he position. Heis a man of culture, thoroughly versed in business affairs and decidedly popular, He has been very reluctant about entering the fieid, but has been urged by numorous friends in various sections of the state and has finally oonsented to become a candidate. Mr, Duras is a Bohemian by birth, but has been in this country for many years and is thoroughly Americanizad, - No man in Saline is more popular and it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will have the backing of his county 1n spite of all that Dawes can do with his machine. YOUR FIGHT ON VALENTINE reminds me of an incident that oc curred last spring in Washington City when the president decided to super sede John J. Gosper as secretary of Arizona. He was induced to send in the name of Hiram M, Van Arman, who was recommended by mseveral Pacific coast congressmen. Van Ar- man had lived in Nobraska some years ago and was generally known here as a bummer and dead beat of the lowest order. His pomination was referred to the committee on territories of which Senator Saunders is chairman, A protest was filed against this bad man by several citizens of Nebraska who made a specific charge that Van Arman was a disreputable character, The prezident was about to withdraw Van Arman’s name, but our Val promptly csme to the front with AN INDORSEMENT for the vagabond which was procured at Omaha and reads followa: Oaana, Neb,, March 12th, We, the citiz+ns of Omahn, Neb, her by certify that we' kmow H'ran M.

Ac- cording to the best information, how- ever, Howe's boom has collapsed and the Lincoln merchants and property owners can never got their money back. J. W, Massachusetts Groebackers.

The acting secre- tary telegraphed him that the Chinese, could land as they had not come from a foreign port, but only from San Francisco on an American vessel bound for an American port, and the fact that she lind touched at a British port on her way did not destroy the the right of the Chinese passeagers to land, Tho Nation With o BigN. Special Dispatch to Tuk Bux 8. Louis, August 18,—A Republi can apecial eays the late election in the Chickasaw Indian nation resulted in the re-election of Governor Overton by a large majority. His eloction is regarded as o triumph of the law and order element of the na- tion, Capt.
