Tae sllisnce and anti-monopoly pa ty, of Suline county, have nomi- nated the following tickst: *For etate wenator, L. D. Barker; for representa- tives, D, M. Rainey, J.

The trouble with Loran was that ho was ‘‘counted in” by the rail- road cappers at the Omaha conven- tion, Toat's why he stands such a good chunoo of being counted out on the 7th of November, Tae railroad wunsgers are taking a very deep mterest in woman suff sge, They have geucronsly furnished a whole army of ferusle stump orators with pusses over every road in the state. While these women are agita- ting suffcago and distracting the peo- ple with their side show the monopoly mansgers are helping to pull through their cappers into the legislat: No canpipare for congress in the Unitéd States except E, K. Valentine would daro to make & canvass handi- capped by the eerious charges which have bzen preferred against his pri vate character and public record, Tf Nebrasks were a doubtful state, and the parties evenly bilanced in the Third district, no convention would have been foolhurdy enoungh to have placed such a man on its ticket, On this account the nomination of £ K. Valentine is an insult t) the iutelli. gence of the republican voters of the district. It assumes that their loyalty to a packed party convention is supe- cior to their convictions as hooest men and citizens of the republic, Ap- peals to the republican voters of the Third distriot are all the more in- sulting when a staunch republican, an Of course there was, There has always been a mystery connected with every fraud with which Valentine has been connected. There was a mystery about those frauds in connection with government horses, There was a mystery which John Rush has never been able to explain connected with the theft] of his little homestead. Another mystery, which ocost the state §1,800, originated in that back pay steal for services rendered by Judge Griffey. It always will be a mystery why Valentine was so zeal- ous in defense of the star .route thieves, All these affairs are mysterious if explained on any other grounds than that E. K. Valentine was and is a dishonest man and a corrupt politi- cian, unworthy of the confidence of the community in which he lives and totally unfitted to fill any positior of profit and trust in the gitt of the peo- ple of Nebraska, Then all the mye- tery is cloared away. —_—— THE THIRTY-FIRST DISTRICT. No section in this state is as mo- nopoly ridden ss the countios on the wostern border. Lincoln, Dawson and Cheyenue counties bave been ruled by the railroad bosses with an iron rod. All pariy nowinations have been dictated by them aad elections have simply registered the will of these diotators. This yearthe railroad managers have nominated Johu G. Hiest of OChey- enne as republican candidate for the senate from the Thirty-first Senatorial distriot, comprising Dawson, Custer, Lincola, Keith, Cheyenne and Sioux counties, and they have nominated Goorge Hammond, one of their rail- road conductors, for the democratic party, It is, therefore, gratifyig that Mr. Thomas C. Patterson of North Platte, a staunch, true and tried anti-monopolist, has announced himself as an independent republican candidats on a solid anti-monopoly platform. No better man could have been named for the place, and Tuk Brk would urge overy anti menopolist in the distriot to rally to Mr. Patter- son's support, THE sTATE CF TRADE. The prospects for fall and winter trade as reported from the great com- morcial conters of the country con- tinue favorable. Market values are well supported and thero is a notable absence of speculative feeling in most of the lines of trade in which the arti- oles aro chicfly used for domestic con- sumption, The export trade, espec ially in grain and provisions, con. tinues dall, The movement of wheat from tho primary warketa is slow and decreasing and amounts to little over sixty per cent of the weekly sggregute for September, Foreign shipments show & correspunding de- croase, Thoe tendency of our farmers is to hold their wheat until it will net them §1 a bushel at the weat, This will require an incresse of from 3 to b per cent in seaboard prices, which at present shows no sigus of stiffening, owing to the depressed foreign mar kots, The belief prevails, however, that the shortage in the Furopean potato crop will create an increased demend for American wheat. This, with tho certainty that our exportable surplus will be much less than was ex- pected three months ago, gives reasons for the hope of stiffsniug prices, The sharp advance in corn last week was due to the rapid exhaustion of the old erop, The stock in sight has decreased about twelve hundred thousaud bushels within the week and is now swmaller than for many years, The bulk of new corn will not be suf- ficiently hardened to come into the market much for home use before Jan- uary lst, and & darther advance ia old cors may be expected in the interval, The geueral provision market re- Booest citizen and an unswerving | maine strong.

Meats are likely to con- tHne's candidacy. tinue high until the spring supplies of oattle and hogs break down the pre- vailing hich prices. The eastern money market has re- covered from its excited condition of two weeks ago, is in a comparatively easy condition, with a larger amount of available loanable eapital and a stronger market for exchanga, THAT ARMY RECORD. The Lincoln Jow.nal rushes to the defense of E. K. Valentine, It calls Tar Ber's proof of his dishonorable discharge from the army ‘*‘a pitifal subterfuge.” In addition it publishes a dispatoh from Washington which as- serts that the adjutant gencral denies that Val left the army under a cloud. But it dare not deny the genuiness of special order 220, besause nodenial in‘possible, We have held the original document in our own bands and eopied its damn. ing proof that E. K. Valentine was ‘‘dishonorably mustered out of « the wervice of the United States for frauds in connection with the appraisal and salo of horses, the property of the United States.”, ! We defy E. K. Valentine to deny the truth of history. We dare him to dieprove the existence of this ¢ ffi- otal document. Let him call upon General O'Brien for proof if he can that for over two months he was dis- missed from the service for frauds upon the government, and only suc. oeeded in securing a revocation of the order by the most energetio wire pull- ing a few days before his final muster out. Let him consult the records of the Seventh Jowa cavalry, and if its pages do not bear the endorsement “Dishon- orably mustered out of the service May 11, 1866, for fraud,” we will present 850 to any charity E. K. Val. entine may designate. Tur Bex makes no attempt as charged by The Lincoln Journal, “to help Turner out of the hole he put himeelf in.” It goes further than publishing a newspaper extract. It givea ita readers and the soldiers of Nebraska a transcript of the original document, which eternally digraces s man who 1s foisted upon the soldier element of this state as a candidate for congress, The facts are beyond dispute, In denying that such an or- der was ever issued, E, K. Valentine stands as a self-convicted liar, in whom no honest man can put con. fidence. LORAN CLARKE. Every honest taxpayer in Nebraska hea a vital interest in the defeat of Loran Clark, who was fraudulently foisted upon the republican party by the railroad henchmen as their candi- dato for atate treasurer. The state treasurer is one of the three mem- bers of the state board of equaliza- tion, That board has the sole power to asness the property of the railroads. As long as the railroads control the entire board these assessments are outragoously low. For instance, the report of the auditor of rail. roads for the United States show that the Union Pacific railroad, including all its cquipments, is valued by its officers at $116,000 per mile, which for the main line of 452 miles in Nebraska would make over §52,000,- 000, but the state board has assessed the roed at only $11,000 per mile, or about $4,600,000 for the whole state, The Republican Valley branch of the Union Pacific, which is mortgaged at over $10000 per mile, is assessod at 3,600 per mile, This explains why the railroads made such a desperate effort to control the nomination of the whole state board. [f Loran C ark is defeated, and P, D. Stardevant, the fanti-monopoly candi date elected, there will be at least one man to block the attempts of the rail- roads to escape the just share of their burdens of taxation, Beyond and above all this Mr, Sturdevant is an honest man who stands high among his neighbors in Fillmore county, who have placed him in charge of their county treasury for two consecutive terms, Loran Clark, on the other hadd, 1s notorinus jobber, who as a mewmber of the legislature voted for every staal and job that was backed by a corrupt lebby, He is soul and body owned by the railroads, and in the state trea- sury he would be a very dangerous man, SuaLL railroads pay taxes like in- dividualals one of the questions which the next legislatore will be asked to determine.

Keep It Beforo the People of the Third District: Valentine's Dircharge from the Army for Bwindling. The Evidenoe of His Guilt Taken from Government Records, In the last issue of the Columbus Jowrnal, a paper published by Hon. M. K. Turner, there appeared a charge that a gentleman residing in Colum- bas had in his possession a scrap book containing the following extract: DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED, The war d partment hus ordered that the fHllowing named officers be dishonar. b y mustere i cut of the service for fraund. ulent practices against the United States, “Ameng the names appearing, twenty.-two in number, is that of First Lientenant and Adjutant E. K. Val. entine,” Now, Mr, Valentine in his speech at Fremont ou. Thursday, denounced this extract as an infamous slander, and most emphatically denied that there was any foundation whatever for the charge. The Omaha Repub- lican, the organ of the Union Pacific and the mouthpiece of Mr. Valen- tine, has issued a defiant challenge to any man or journal to produce the proof that Valentine's army record had the slightest epot upon it. They also published a letter from Captain Cramer who, as Captain of company C, Seventh Iowa cavalry, vouches for Valentine's fidelity integrity while in the service. Now, we have in our possession an officlal tranecript from the records of the War Department, which effec- tually nails Mr. Valentine as an im- postor who is trying to cover a matter of record that should forever retire Lim to private life, SPECIAL ORDER No, 220, WaR DEPARTMENT, } and ADJUTANT GENERAL'S UFFICE, May 11, 1866, By direction of the president the following named cffizers are hereby dishonorably mustered out of the ser- vice of the United States for fraudu- lent practices in connection with the appraisal and sale of horses, the prop- erty of the United States: Brevel Brigadier General H. H. Heath, Colonel Seventh Iowa Cavalry. Major J. B. David, Seventh Iowa Cavalry. Captain E, B. Murphy, Seventh Iowa Cavalry. First Lieutenant E. K. VALEN- TINK, Adjatant Seventh Iowa Cav- alry. . Second Lieutenant Thos. J. Potter, Seventh Iowa Cavalry. Lieutenant G. P. Belden, Seventh Towa Cavalry. Lieutenant I. 8. Brewer, Seventh Towa Cavalry. Lieutenant W. H. Seventh Iowa Cavalry Lieutenants Ormsby ‘and Lowerey, Seventh Iowa Cavalry, By order of the Secretary of War, E. D. TowNsEND, Assistant Adjutant General, The facts in the case are that E. K. Valentine, with others, was implicated Northrap, in frauds upon the government in the appraisal and aale of horses. The Seventh Iowa cavalry were doing ser- vice on the plains against the Iudians, and also guarding the surveyors and conatruction corps of the Union Pa- cific. The adjutant of the regiment was in collusion 'with the speculators who were buying and selling army horses. ered by the secret service department of tho governmgnt, and the result was special order 220, issued by order of E. M. Stanton, secretary of war. The conspiracy was discov- When the regiment was about to be mustered out three months later, five of the officers implicated in the fraud inclnding Valentine, were whitowash- ed and the chief mustering officer was authorized by Special Order No. 322 to furnish them with an ‘‘honorable(?) discharge,” The officer chiefly instru- mental in saving Valentine from per- petual disgrace was Major Geo. M. O'Brien, of this city, who was later brevetted brigadier general. Yet ac- cording to Captain H. W, Cramer, dealer in railway Valentine had as fine & tary record as any the regiment, and the captain, with supplies, mili- man in his wonderful memory, tells us that Valentine was mustered out with his regiment at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., in 1866, The war department records show that Valentine was mustered out at Davenport, lowa, August 10th, 1866, several mcuths before the regi- ment was disbanded. This is the trath of history, which, within itself, stamps Valentine as ut- terly unfit to be the representative of any respectable class of citizens, least of ¢1l of the gallant moldiers whose namé he disgraced. —_— THE MODERN MILLIONAIRB.
