VAL is frothing at ths mouth, That “‘walk-away" is a very exhausting bus- iness in the Third district. Wk suppose Valentine will have a “‘walkaway.” He don’t appour to be running ir somo parts uf‘ the Third district. Hox. C. H. Brown will poll ons of the heaviest votes ever secured by any legislative candidate in the state, His anti-monopoly record is above question, Jupbor Masox is howling himself hoarse over the sad record of Senator Van Wyck, but he is as silent as an oyster over the grave charges made against his own professional career. Ricaarp O'KEeere is the present efficient councilman of that name. As county commissioner he will bring to the office the experience which he has gained in his office of councilman, He will be elected by a round majority. Tur contest is now botween Hon, M. K. Turner and W. H. Munger. Every republican who is interested in the control of national legislation by the republican party should cast his vote for Turner. LoraN CuArk, who was nominated by fraud, will be defeated by P. D. Sturdevandt, the aunti-monopoly can- didate for state treasurer, who is aleo on the democratic ticket, Mr. Stur- devant's election will teach the conven- tion bosses that they can rush threugh candidates against the popular protest, but they can’t always elect them, Messes, Turrie, Brown and O'Keefe were talked of by the work- logmen before their nomination by the democrats, Mr, Turtle was de- cided upon a week before the demo- cratic convention met, The charge that the farmers' and workingmen's movement is a democratic side-show is disproved by these facts. The demo- crats shrewdly endorsed what they knew would be the workingmen's can- didates. This ie all the milk there is to that cocoanut. — Tur workingmen and farmers have stood together inthe nomination of an excollent legislative ticket. Every candidate on it can confidently appeal to the voters of Douglas county for support on the ground of his fitaess for the place. It is a roprosentative ticket which has igaored no class of voters who desire recognition, Now let the workingmen stand together in their support of their nominees. Lot no gin mill bargaining or barter broak their rauks, Hard work under the present excellent organization will win the day. It will elect every mau on the ticket by good majorities. What the workingmen of Douglas eounty need to look out for is division in their ranks through the emissaries of the railroads workivg under the Bawe of friends. REGISTER. Bir again oalls upon every citizon of Omaha who has not al- | ready had his name placed on the Tar rogistration lists to see to it at once that he is rogistered. Under the present we system of regis- tration in Omaha hundreds of vo- ters fail each year to cast their ballots, while many others are forced to swear in thoir votes at the polls. One more registration day remains before election. Registrars will sit in every ward on Monday for the purpose of adding to and correct- ing lists. Lot every voter be sure that his name is on them. —_— FRED BEHM, Mr. Frod Behm has been placed on the farmera and workingmen’s ticket in the place of Pat Ford, who has de- Some workingmen aro trying to make capital out of the fact that Mr., Bobim voted againat paying the city laborers two dollars and voted in favor of giving them $1.87, Mr. Behm is a equare up and down man, There are only six men employed by the city as common laborers. Tho largest number that has ever been on the pay roll is thirty, Every one knows that 81.87 a day was good wages for common labor. It wae 124 cents more than other labor was getting inthecity. Mr, Bohm was a representative of the tax-payers, and a large portion of our tax-payers in Omaha are working men, The payment of $2.00 a day, as demanded by the few laborers working for the city, would have built up a preferred class of laborers and benefitted no other working man, Common labor during the summer has varied from $1.50 to $1.75 a day and when the city paya 12} conts more nobody has any right to find faalt, If the city paid 856 a day it would not raiso the price of common labor a dime, Mr. Behm's vote was for fair wages and in the interests of the class of laboring men who pay taxes, while it did not in the least affect those who do not pay taxes. In every other re- spect Mr. Bohm has always voted for what hoe believed to ba right, let the consequences by what they may. That is the sort of man we want for tho legislature. clined who votes on his convictions, 1.0 YOUR OWN VOTXING. Working men ot Omaha, do your own voting. * There are men who claim that you can be driven to the polis under the whip of the railroad bosses, Prove to them that they lie, Havivg placed a strong legislative ticket in the ficld support it unani- mously, The two parties have used you long enough to pull the railroad chestnuts out of tho fire. Do your own voting, The vote of a working man is as good as the vote of a railroad man- ager. It counts just as much on election day. Let the men who call you “hood- lums" before election beg in vain for your support when they get in a tight fix. There is no reason why they should depend on you to pull them out, Do your own voting to assert your own manhood, Support your own nominees, because they are your nom- inees, and because they are the best which ask the popular endorsement at the polls, With a full vote of the mechanics and laborers of Omaha the entire ticket nominated will be triumphantly olected. MR. VINING'S DENIAL. = The following letter has been re- ceived from E. P. Vining, KEsq,, freight traflic mansgor of tho Union Pacifio railroad: Usiox Paciric Ranway Co,, | Gr AL Freigur DeparTaest, Oumana, Neb., Nov, Edward Rosewater, Exj, Omaha ; 1882, Editor Daily Poc, Dean Sik—1I gee that your iesue of this evening contains » paragraph purporting to be an extract from a letter wzitten by me to Mossrs, Harri- son and Richards, of S8an Francisco, As an act of justice to the Union Pa- cific Railway company, rather than to myself, I wouid respectfully ask that you publish this as my denial that I ever wrote to that effect to cither Messrs, Harrison and Richards or to any other pariies, or that I ever said anything which could justly be tor- tured into any such statement, The acticlo is entirely without foundation, and I think those who are acquainted with me will do me the justice of be- lieving that if T wished to say any- thing of the kind I should use the Englieh languago more correctly than it is used in the paragraph referred to. A denial to the same general effoct as this was promptly published in the San Francisco psper in which the artiolo upon the subjeot first ap- peared Yours truly, . 3. P. Vining, Froight Traffic Manager, Wa print Mr. Viaing's denial as re- quested. Tt is the first contradiction we have seen of the statewent made by Mr, Robert J. Harrison, of San Francisco, on the evening of Ang. 24th. That statement was to the effeet that the firm of Richards & Harrison of which he was & mewber had been the object of prosecution un the part of the Union & Central Pacific rail- ways because they refused to bind themselves by contract to ship all goods from the east by the trans-con- tinental route. As the result of this refasal My, Richards asserted that his firm was compelled to pay an addi- tional tribute of 850 per carload and although iwice requested ina mandatory tone by Mr. Vining to se- cure a contract with the joint com panios, they declined the profiered ex- tortion, preferring independence to slavery, In consequence of Me, Vin- ing's course the firm, on August 9, 1882, wrote another letter to the gen- eral freight agent of the U. P. rail- way company calling attentlon to the fact that Mr. Vining was peraecuting their shippers by discriminating againat their agencies in Idaho and Montana, and in the course of which allusion was made to the threat which had been made, “If you continue to fight us we will fight you, and prevent you selling a single bottle in TIdaho or Montana. 1 will put your rates so high you can’t get there, and give othors special rates, which will keep you out, We deal with fighcing houses the same as with a competing road, to the bitter end, or we atand in with them, and then protect them with rates.” In response to a epeciai invitation to be interviewed by J. C.Stubba,gen- eral freight agent of the Central Pacific railway, Mr, Harrison called on Mr. Stubbs, who intimated that Mr. Vin- ing's threats did not meet with his approval or endorsement, Ho ssid that tho policy of the C. P. R.R. company was not to oppress, but that their principles were magnanimous, He could not perceive why he should be held responsible for Vining's at- tempt at boycoiting, as the Central Pacific was never known to bulldose any one, This is Mr. Harrison's statement, as against Mr. Vining’'s, We cannot but think that in the vast correspon- dence of his office the trifling and un- important letter ‘mentioned must have slipped Mr. Vining's mind. Mr, Vining has uothing to say in condem nation of the atrocity of the senti- ments contained in the letter, but is greatly agitated over the misuse of the Eoglish languoge. Torturing shippers is evidently a much less criminal offense 1n his eyes than tor- turing the queen’s English. But denisl or no denial, and Mr. Harrison’s word stands against Mr. Vining’s. Every merchant in Nebraaka knows that the policy f the railroads in this state has been precisely that proclaimed so boldly in the lotter read 20 coming from E. P. Vining. The words may bo disclaimed but the policy stande. And men who are de- pendent upiu the favor of the monop- olies for their business existence are not fitted to represent the people in any conteste against the corporations. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS, Parliament has been busily engaged in the discussion of the cloture or moving of the previous question as a wethod of parliamentary procedure for stopping debate. Mr. Gladstone'’s proposition contemplates a majority vote as carrying the cloture while the opposition insist upon two-thirds of the members present being necessary to pass the motion. The objeotions urged againat this innovation in the Eoglish parlisment are curious. One is that clotuce 18 only practiced in coun- trles where universal suffrage and salarios for membera are the rule.§The argument is that in Great Britain a restricted suffrage and the necessity of bearing his own expenses brings to the front men of such character for members of parlisment that no cloture is necossary. Mr. Gladstone, how- over, is confident that his plan as first proposed will pass and declares re- straints of unneceesary debate of the very highest importance. The ses- sion will be prolonged until the aues tion is definitely settled. Parnell holds his placo as leader of the Irish national party unmoved at tho charges and imprecations hurled against him from all sides by the ex- tremist branch [of the old Land Loague. So far as can be learned he has with him a large mujority of the strongest leaders of the Irish move- ment., His policy which is continued agitation for home rule within the limits of the constitution is one which gives him an advantage in parliament- ary discussion, which he never could have obtained when both parties were declaiming against what they called incendiary programame of the Land League. That the Land Loague has accomplished more than it's origin- ators ever imagined is seen in the quiet operation of the land courts Meanwhile crime is diminshing in Treland, and there is an evident and growing determination on thelpart of the mass of Koglish coustituencies to treat the Emerald show of fairness, Isle with some The Irish question is not likely to attragt much attention at tho present session, as the eloture debate will ocoupy the extra time be. fore adjournment, England shows uo intention of abandoning Egypt, and 11,000 troops remain iu the land of the khedive, To be sure, Lord Dufferin has assured the eultan that her majesty’s govern- ment have no other objeot in view than the pacification of the country, but the continental press no doubt ex- press the general opinion when they doclare that Egypt has already become an Euglish colony, The temptation to protect the Indian empire by main- talning armed garrisons at the en- trance and outlet of the caral will probably be too'strong to be overcome, Actual annexation is, of course, not anticipated, but ‘‘concessions” will be demanded from the porte and khedive, which will place Egypt practically under the control of England, civilly, and entirely 80 as a base for military operations. The reorganization of the army under Baker Pasha and the visit of Lora Dufferin to Alexandria, are indi- cations which are more than signifi- cant, cais experiencing a séries’ of stic troubles which are due ¥ anarc| Iargely to the weakness of the govern- ment under M. Grevy! The great majority of the French people are ais- posed to be law abiding and to sus- tain the present republic, but the government is not strong enough to repress eporadic oases of disorder like those which have recently broken out among the miners, The government is & compromise, and merely holds the balance of power between the adverse factious of despotism and anarchy, In the chamber of deputtes it is claimed that there are not less thsnnine distinct organized groups or parties. As long a8 no one of them feels strong enough to find its occaeion in the overthrow of the government. France is reasonably secure; but if, untor- tunately at any time a successful at- tempt is made to disturb the equilib- rium which trembles in the balance, it will be almost impossible to restrain the pent up forces of socialism, and France will be called on to undergo one of her periodic ordeals of revolu- tion, with no possibility of foretelling when its end will come or what bloody course it will run in the mean- while. Italy’s first election under the en- larged franchise took place on Sun- day. Instead of 600,000 electors, 6,000,000 were given the right to vote for members of parliament, and the voting was by departments instead of by communes. The result was a large ministerial majority, with a slight in- crease in the republican contingent. Prosperous times as much as any other cause gave the popular endorse- ment to Prime Minister Depretis and the policy of the left. The annually decreasing surplus of the treasury, of which #0 much was made during the canvase, was due entirely to the in- crease from fuxation. But the facts remained that under Signor Depretis the grist tax had Eeen abolished, the suffragn extended, the school system improved and the pay of teachers in- creaged and railroads extended in all directions, The recent speech at Stradella of 8ignor Dopretis was note- worthy, not only because it showed Earope of the peaceful inten- tions of the ministry, but be- cause it presented in a forcible way the claims of the Left to the gratitude n.n’qnppor'. of the coun- try. -~ Signor Dopretis is probably not a great statosman, but he is the only man of his party who can inspire at once confidence and respect. The Italian people can thoroughly respect the chivalrous character of Cairoli, but it is iwpoesible for them to have any confidence in him as a statesman, and while they can recognive the abilitics of men like Crispi and Nicotera, they can have no respect for such unprin- cipled politicians, Depretis is able, experienced in public affairs, cautious, and, in a word, an eminently safe man. He might not be able to carry the country through a great crisis, but he is entirely able to conduct the government i an intelligent way and to avoid quarrelling with foreign gov- ernments or to provoking dissatisfac- tion at home, A weeding out process is going on in the Ruseian army, General Van- oscy, the minister of war, endeavor- ing to remove all the corrupt and tyr- annical officers, It is o very difficult task, but within the last three months some progress has been made, aund nine officers, ranging in rank from colonel to captair , have been cashiered and exiled to Siberia for life. At the present timo the minister has 75 other ofticers on the black list, most of whom are expected to share the same fate. French rule is quite as firmly es- tablished in Algiers as British rule in Indis. It is backed by 60,000 troops and a governor general. From this solid base it will be easy to extend French influence and rule into the adjoining state of Tunis on the one hand and Moracco on the other, The movement toward the absorption of Tanis has already made good head. way, Morocco’s turn will eome as soon as the projected railway from Al giors across the Sahara to shall be many ye Timbuctoo put in For 8 France has had a With colony is now proposed to connect the operation, colony in Senegambia. this African sottloments on the great river Niger by o railway 1,000 miles long, to hasty treaties with the Congo river native chiefs, as a means of disputing with Belgium for the possession of the railway route from the mouth of the Congo to the river above the falls, a preliminary survey of which has re cently been made by Stanley the Belgium flag and protection . Austrian law is rigorous as to chil under dren, and none under 10 years of age are pormitted to work in any factory Children between 10 and 12 years of may enter a factory when provided with a municipal permit, granted by the request of parent or guardian To get this permit the authorities re- worve the right to decide whether or no the work is suiteble for a child--if the tactory pursuit will be in an in. dustrial school, or of a kind com- patible with schooling, and its dura- tion is also strictly regulated. Owup settlers who lived in Omaha in the early days will remember that vitits from Indian chiefs who were very important in their own ey<s were of frequent occurrence. About every day a new buck would put iuan ap- pearance with the words ‘“Me big chief, give me ten cents,” Omaha politica is just now troubled with the “‘big chiet” nuisance. A number of blatherskites who hangarovnd saloons for the drinks are inviting candidates to meet them as big chiefs and barter for the votes which they think they control, They are ‘‘big chiefs” in their own mind and want the ‘‘ten cents,” Candidates will do well to turn the cold shoulder to these tmposters. They ara chronic dead beats who are ‘on the make.” They possesses neither means nor influence and can't control ten votesin the city, The workingmen are not willing to be bought and sold by these men or by any one else. They have nominated their ticket and they intend to back it by their votes. TuEy are comlng. The B, & M. construction traine are moving into Cass county for the campaign. Oae of these boarding houses on wheels has recently recruited in Omaha. Just before they were ordered to the seat of war at South Bend the gang numbered only eighteen men, while now they muater forty-five able-bodied voters, Another consiruction train has been ordered to South Bend from Johnson county. South Bend must be a strategic point in Cass county politica. Georoe CANFIELD has been nomin- ated by the county democratic cen- tral committes for state senator in place of Judge Savage, who has de- clined. Mr, Canfield is a better authority on the laws governing the race track, than he is on matters of general legislation, J. 8. McCormick will attend to Mr. Canfield’s case next Tuesday. No honest republican can vote for Loran Clark for state treasurer. He 18 hnown Too Well. Genera Gazette, P.

Mr. Whitmore Accepts. VaLLey, Neb., November 2. To Jumes F. Black, Sccrotary: Dear Sir:—I have received notice of my nomination by the working- mon's and farmers’ coavention yester- day for representative to the legisla- ture. I accept tho nomination for the fol- lowing reasons: The republican convention in its nominations has wholly ignored the farming intereat and the whole coun- try outside of Omaha, putting in nom- ination a solid city delegation, leaving the leading industry of the state, and a very important one of our country, with practically no representation, The democratic nominations equally ignore all western Douglas county. This is neither fair nor right, es- pecially in view of needed legislation upon agricultural questions, True, I was asked to accept a nomi- nation by the republican convention, but with the wnderstanding that I would “support our policy and candi- dates,” . 1 will never go to the legislature excopt as a member free to do what I believe to be right, as questions pre sent themselves, and nover pledged in advance to support nui'budy'- policy, excopt to represent to the best of my kuowledge and ability the interest of all my constituents, Upon these grounds I ask the sup- port of the voters of Douglas county, Youre, respectfully, W.
