All anti-mo- nopoly leaguos are requested to call special meetings to elect delegates to attend the convention. By order of tne executive com- mittee, H. 0.

The campaign in the Third congros- sional district will open at Fremont on Thuraday next, Sept. 21st, by a ro- publican ratification meeting, Hon, C. H. Van Wyck, U, 8, seunator, Gen, A. H. Connor and other ab'e and dis- tinguished speakers will address the people of Dodge county in support of the republican ticket, and cspecially of Hon, M. K. Tuzner, the republican candidate for congress, A vigorous canvass will be made by Benator Van Wyck in the Third dis- trict on behalf of Mr. Turner during the next rix weeks, The first meeting after the ratification at Fremont will be held at Blair. the day in theso columns just as soon We shall announce a8 arrangementa are completed, LET THE RECORD SPEAK The railroad organ’s test of republi- canism is allegisnce the monopo- lies. The people's test of ropublican- ism ie fidelity to the cardinal princip- les of the party. Mr. Turnet's can- didacy in the Third district is based upon opposition to the subversion of tho 1epublican party by the corpora- tions which have controlled Nebraska and used the party machinery to whip ropublicans into an unwilling eupport of moncpoly candidates, In defining his position, Mr, Turner hay tlanted himself equarely on a platform of principles which afirms all the great traths for which honest republicans have contended through the twenty- four years of the party's existence, and which in addition voices the de- mands of our people on the over- shadowing issue of the hour, But above plalforme and principles, Mr. Turner can appeal to his record as a man and a public officer, That record will bear the closest inspection. A bad man is no better becauss nomi- nated on a good platform, The best test of the republicanism and value of a candidate is the history of his life. Any candidate may howl himself hoarse, for, the party when overy day of his life gives the lie direct to his Three congressional districts are harder to manage than one,—7/nrs- ton. appears to be no revolt—the thresh- ing machine Ir Val's election is so cortain it's very singular why his railroad organs are’ ralsing all this hue and cry over Mr., Turner’s candidacy. Tue Royal Irish covered themselves with glory at Tel El-Kebir, Irish soldiers have always been found at the front in every British victory. Frrry small-bore editors who dis- covered some weeks ago that Wolseley ‘was no general are convinoed that the war in Egypt has been ‘‘full of sur- prises.” Tux political atmosphere in Ne- braska this year is forcing the growth of the newspaper wants through the state. A little caustic about election time will be applied with good effect.

With no opposit- 1on two years ago Valentine's majorit; ‘was less than 7,000, ' Puires, the almshousoe thief, late of Philadelphia, stands at the top notch of embezzlors.

General Hazen is beating Vennor as » weather prophet.

Tue Omana Bee calls upon some- body to kick Van Wyck out of office as well as Crounse, If the charges against the senator concerning the sale of an Indian trndsnhir foreshad- owed by Rosewater not long since, have as good backing as ng hinted, it might not be a very formidible job to have his name dropped from the secretary's roll after the 4th of March next,— Lincoln Journal, The editor of the Jowrnal is a cowardly sneak who never fought a square battle in his life, and is never more happy than when stabbing sn opponent over the shoulders of another man, Gere can't forget the fact it was Benator Van Wyck who unearthed that state printing steal which drove his Omaha partuer to Colorado and exposed the grand larceny of the editor of the Journal, professions, Mr. Tarner hs bezen a lifelong ropublican, He is a staunch defender of republicanism to day. He is not, however, one of that class who believe that the republican party is bbund hand and foot in ita interests to the sclfisn 1nteresta of corporate monop- oly. Ho refuses to affirm that the voice of a party postmaster is the voico of God, and that the whip of Jay Gould is a better etimulus to honest acti’n than the expressod wishes of the peopla, Mr. Turner is on the track to stay. The support which he is receiving comes from the prop Every ele- ment of opposition which the monop- olies are mustering againat him only gives additional foree to his candidacy end furnishes now arguments for its necessity, He proposes to wage a lively and strong contest for the rights of the people of the Third district to nelect their own congressional candi- dates irrespective of the threats and bribes of the corporations, who have too long con- trolled the electoral machinery of both political purties in this state. Party supromacy can only be main- tained through popular belief in party purity, The moment that party ma- chinery becomes the medium for the accomplishment of individual or cor- porate trickery just that moment its dictates cease to bebindingupon voters. As far back af 1874 the republicans of Towa proolaimed in their state platform which should, be pasted in the hat of every republican voter throughout the country, “‘We declare,” ran thereso- lution, ‘‘that it is the duty of every republican to oppose the election of a bad or incompetent candidate upon our own or upon any other ticket."” THE S'I'A'l‘fll;lgfila?'of EQUAL- The railroad organs, frightened at the demands for the abolition of the state board of 2qualization, are begin- ning to ma'%e long and labored de- fonsas on its behalf and on behalf of their corporations, The State Journal has a two column edltorial to prove that the board of equalization is an important whoel in our state govern- ment and cannot be dispensed with, without danger to the best interests of our people and loss to the stato treas- vry. The board of equalization is made up ot three men, the governor, auditor and treasurer, Thoy are entrusted with the duty of valuing and assessing the property of all railroad corpora- tions within the stato at its actual value for each mile of road. Upon their decision the assessment of the various roads is made by the cpunties and the local taxes doterm- ined, In other words the state board of equallzation fixes at will the entire taxation paid by the railroads to the state and by lowering the assessment diminich the revenue and thereby increase tho taxes levied ypon other tax payers. When these three officers are nominated by the inflaence of the railroads it is fair to presume that they will do the bidding of the corporations. This is especially the case when they have been compelled to make pledges to that effect in order to se- cure their nominations, Gov. Nance was notoriously nominated by Union Pacific railroad money and how well he has rorved his masters can be seen by looking over the records, While railroad property has been steadily advancing in value its asspssment by the state boards of equalization has been as steadily declining. When the Union Pacific railroad stock was selling for thirty or forty cents on the dollar and the business of the road was less than half what it now is, it was asseased at $12,000 a mile, This did not inelude station houses, round houses or machine shops. The track was then laid with iron rails and pine ties and the road bed was in every respect decidedly inferior to its present condition. To.day the stock of the Union Pacific is worth $1.16 on the dollar, Most of the road is relaid with new ties and steel rails, and with business doubling every five years, iv is assossed at only £11,000 a mile, The assessment covers every dollat’s worth of property which the railroad is supposed to own, in- clading round houses, station houses, water tanks, side tracks, rolling stock, &e. It is safe to say that Gov- ernor Nanco and his board of equal- ization have in four years saved to the railroads of Nebraska at least 3ne million dollars in taxes. This sum represents the amount which has been shifted from the shoulders of the monopolies upon the backs of the producers of Nebraska through the instrumentality of the railroad board of equalization, It is natural that the monopnlies are interested in retaining the board of equalization, and it Is not surprising that they con- sider the few thousands of dollars spent in securing their own state ticket as money well invested. The state board of equalization must be abol- ished, and the republicans of the Third district did well in putting a plank to that effect in their platform. A Lincoln correspondent writes: ‘‘Every honest, hard working- man will say amen to that plank in the Fromont platform denouncing the state board of equalization. Let the facts come to the surface, give us the detailed assessment of all the railroad property for all these years, and then tell us about the other property and lot the voters see whether this board is a fine thing or not, The principal argument made by The Journal is that the railroad companies would be compelled to go into every county in the state to adjust matters. Just as though that was any very great hard- ship, even though they did do this. They would require no new hands, They could have the strikers that they keep to run electlons make one or two extra trips. The great trouble with the railroad companies is, they are afraid that they could not always purchase the asses- sors, and even il they counld it would cost too much money to go around. They would much rather riek their caso in the hauds of threce men, Think of giving every assessor in Ne- braska & free pass for himself and friends. It would be a hardship and no mistake, and no wonder the railroad organs pu‘in a mighty kick when this question comes up, There is more depending upon the elaclion of the governor, auditor and treasurer than common people think of, but the railroads have figured all the pos- sibilities and probabilities and have long ago fixed this question with the candidates that will be nominated at the coming republican convention. The only safe way is to abolish the board and put the question of assess- ment of all property down nearer the people, ] [E————— Tue Bek has recetved lotters from three of the committos on resolutions at the Fremont convention, which no- minated Mr. Turner, calling ita atten- tion to a mistake in a part of the plat- form, which uncorrected reads as followa: Resolved, That we are in favor of re- ducing all railroad fares for travel in this state to a minimum charge of thren cents per mile. It is of course unnecessary to state that ‘““marcimum” should take the place of the italicized word, whoso insertion was & typographical error. One of Mr. Turner's hardest fights in the last legielature was on behalf of the bill which made threa cents 2 mile the highest legal rate which could be charged for passenger transportation in Nebraska. Indemanding the lower- ing of the present four cent rate the Fremont convention acted in accord- ance with the prevailing sentiment throughout the state, and voiced the well known views of their candidate for congress, “ As for Mr. Turner he has always borne a reputation for honesty and integrity among those who know him, and he can sustain that reputation only by a withdrawal from this cam- prign as a candidate, and by eo doing admit that Mr. Valentine was right- fully nominated,— West P'oint Repub- lean, As for Mr, Valentine he has always borne a reputation for dishonesty and knavery among those who know him best. As ‘“Val's” own organ admits that Mr., Turner possesses the very qualifications necessary for a people’s candidate, the best thing Valentine can do is to withdraw at once and leave the field clear for republican success. Tue Turner farce was played be- cause E. Rosewater, the man who bolted the nomination of Valentine two years ago on account of Valentine refusing to allow him to control cer- tatn federal appointinents in thatstate, saw that vhe delegates assembled there would nominate Valentine by accla- mation, —Norfolk Journal, Rosewater offers a reward of $100 for any letter that bears his signature asking a personal favor of E. K. Val. entine, either before or since he be- came & member of congross. He dares Valentine to the proof that he has ever requested any political gifts at his hands either for himself or any of his friends, Produce the documents if you have them, or call off your lying whelps, T Bk opposed Valentine two years sgo because he was a back pay thief, a swindler of homesteadors, @ jobber in patronage and a capper of railway monopolies. On these grounds, well sustained by a mountain of proof, we oppose him now.

It also shows that a member from the o mittee on credentials was from this contested county, This is some of their ‘‘straight” republicanism they talk 0 much about, but when we reflect that the Valentine monopoly delegation was seated and the outcome in keeping therewith, we can readily sce why a committeeman from a con- tested county was retained. It is pretty definitely known that Valley county held no convention, but that one man appeared before the committee on credentials at the sena- torial convention at Oakdale with and the Holt county member of that committee used his undivided influence to allow Valley county a seat in the convention, when it was known to an aapirant for senatorial honors that this delegation was for him. He has since so expressed himself. Skeren 1, THE ANTIS OF COLFAX. Minutes of the County Convention— Strong Resolutions Adopted.

Mr, Turner representing the true interest of the republican party and the people genernlly of the Third con- greesional district will command and receivo a large vote, and by an honest sentiment of the people through pure ballots will go to congress as the choice of popular sufirage. When a few men—self-constituted bosses, making a brass-collared bri- gade, attempt to dictate to the masses what they shall do, and what the re- sult must be, whether it be in the re- publican or any other party, the voters should say in no uncertain sound, ‘‘ne must get back to first principles,” the source of all power, the voice of the people, 1fwe are republicans we must maintain ropublican principles, and not simply republican in name with- out the essence. Bossism, machine politics, or party whip are not element of the true reputlican party, but the worst form of tyranny and gntyium. It is the true interest and welfare of the republican party and of the people that M, K. Turner represents as the head of the ticket in tne third congressional district of Nebraska, When we say that Mr. Turner was the nominee of the republican party we say that which is true. No amount of eilly explaaation or adverse asser- tion will prove that Mr, Orounse was not appointed chairman of the third congressional central committee, and Mr. Whitmoyer secretary, and in pur- suance of such appointment Mr, Orounse called theconvention to order. The people well know that the ma- chine bossism in many instances de- feated their wishes, and none are more sensible of this than the people of Holt county by taking advantage of basis of representation in the county convention, by having nearly all the precinet central committemon and using this advantage in springing cau- cuses st unreasonable hours, &o., by maklog pledges for county division, new counties, and county seats; prom- ising postoffices, scaring others into support; offoring dn]e%ltelhlpl to dif. ferent conventions, d&c., &c., and packing the county convention to ‘‘se down” on some one, &c.; promising their wing of their party to a demo- crat in vase they lost certain ground, and other thivgs too numerous to numerous to mention, equally as dis- reputable, so much eo that the people of Holt county were vastly better rep- resented by the delegation which help- ed nominate Mr, Tarner, The Fron. tier's statements to the contrary'not. withstanding. g Thy Frontier's prevarications are so we'l known and his statements so universally untrue that a few people take his plrr to his monstrosi- ties, He is proverbially known in this part of Nebraska as & democrat in sentiment, publishing & democrat- Penn, Schuyler; J.

Theic car for governor, for the three years that he has been sitting in his high jadi- cial capacity, has been the constant recipient of favors from the Central Pacific railroad in the shape of passes, While traveling in the performance of his duty he was entitled to them, but we are credibly informed that he has not only traveled about the state free when on his private business, but has made trips with his family to the east at the expense of the railroad. It is probable also that he went to the San Jose convention and mado his famous anti-monopoly epeeches three proxies besides his own claim, (with this privileged bit of pasteboard |in his pocket. Poesibly he can recon cile his course in this respect with his judicial duty, especially when he re. members thas the snm and substance of that duty was to regulate tho ex- tortionate charges of the very corpora- tion from which he was constantly re- ceiving pecuniary favors. Perhaps his adherents will not regard this of- fense as more heinous than the em- ploying of Chi.ecse, of which some- thing like hali of the democratic can- didates on the stato ticket have for years been guilty, If the workingmen of the party can be satisfied with the Chinese record of the ticket, perhaps the farmers will not object to the ac- ceptance by their candidate fer gov- ernor of genteel bribes from the cor- poration that is grinding the life out of them, A Vexed Ulergyman.

San Francisco Chronicle. A free pass on a railroad is pre- sumed to be a personal courtesy, which the receiver is expected to re- turn the giver in some manner con- sistent with the honest performance of his duty, With a private person this is easy; with an official it is neces- sarily difticult, The matter is again exciting comment in eastern journals, and in one of them we t.d a fac simile of & pass given by the New York & Hus-un River railroad com- pany ‘‘on account of the supreme court.” We are not aware of any manner in which the supreme court of New York or that of any other state can legitimately return such a courtesy. It certainly has no right to return an official benefit for the favor conferred, though there is some tacit expectation of a quid pro quo when the permission to ride free is given, and the pass rep- resents a substantial sum eaved to the judicial exchequer, The anti-monopoly {eaguo has taken the matter up, and its organs are making free criticisms on what they deem a flagrant viola- tion to established principles cf jus- tice, They think that if any class of persons is to be allowed to ride free it should be so provided by law. A judge of a high court, whose crime is theoretically stainless, should be the last to accept such a favor from a cor- poration which from ane year's end to auother is before him, through its at- torneys, pleading some matter of justice or equity, In New Jersey there is a law giving every member of the legislature the privilege of riding free on the railroade, which places them beyond the need of asking rail- road favors, Ina commonwealth like the big black book—*‘John M.

Din- ner being ready, the ill-matted couple ambled into the dining room, where he afforded much amusement to the other guests by his loving attentions to the maiden. He carefully placed dainty morsels of food on her plate, and besought his ‘‘little dear,” in the blandest manner, to appease her ap- petite, They were noticed by all the people in the room, and when they made their exit many cou!d not re- frain from laughing outright. As soon as they emerged from the dining room Mr. Blest hobbled up to the desk and cautiously whispered to the clerk: “I ain’t macried, but I am going to be. Can’t you direct me toa minister near by? Don’t let on but what we are man and wife,” The accommodating clerk eyed his questioner in wonder for a few mo- ments, and then quictly told him of the rcsidence of & man of the cloth who would unite them in the bonds of matrimony. “Thank you, thank you,” chuckled Mr. Blest. ‘‘Come, my dear,” said he to his companion, ‘‘let’s take a little walk. But “the doar” bent down to the old mnan’s ear and whispered some- thing abou. a wedding dress. He again had recourse to his friend, the clerk, to whom he confided the intelli- gence: ‘‘She wants to get a new full rig.” Hewas directed to a neighbor- ing establishment, whither he trem- blingly led the prospective bride. Half an hour elapsed before My, Blest reappeared, When he did his face was radiant with joy. “‘You just ought to see her,” he said to the clerk, ““She has got a real silk dress, and it's such a beautiful blue color, The lady is altering it to make it fit, She will be here in a (uarter of an hour, Oh, but she is looking nice!” and the man from Maryland slid into a pawning chair and calmly awaited the arrival of the fair one. It was not long before she came down the street bedecked in a gorgeous blue silk and a ravishing-lcoking hat, which a Chestnut street belle might well be proud of, A dainty parasol was clasped in one hand, while from the other dangled a pair of eight-but- ton kids, New shoes adorned her feet, and a block-figure sash, of a lux- uriant color, in harmony with the rest of the outfit, envcircled her waist When the vision of Joveliness came sailling down the street, the old man ran eagerly forward to meet her, She smiled aud sweetly requested some money to purchase a pair of corsets, which was immediately given her, Then the old man sat down again to await her veturn, A half of an hour passed; and still the fair one remained away. Mr. Blest became greatly excited at her inex- plicable absence, and sought the clerk for advice. He said he was afraid she had got lost. The afternoon passed and night came on, and yet the young woman was among the missing, The police departmes: was notilied, and inquiry was made at every police sta- tion house in the city, but not one ray of intelligence respecting her whereabouts was obtained.
