Q‘:fi BOLTS AND BOLTERS. Ex-Secretary Schurz Bolts the Republi- ‘\ oan Ticket, | . OMATIA DAILY BEE-+#RIDAY J1 E 13 1884, b] Why the Germans Repudiate Blaine -The Strength of the Dude Defection—Interesting Laterviews, Schurz and Blaine, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Jane 10, Yesterd: he ridiculous rumor came into circulation that the purpose of the visit of Mr. Carl Schurz to St. Lonis. was to_persaade us to support Blaine for president. The exact re verso is the truth, It was a long time before the Chicago convention that Mr, Schurz told us that, under no conceivable circumstances, would he support and advocate the nomina- tion of Mr, Blaine for president. What has happened fof late has rather contirmed than weakened him in that intention. The repub- lican party will hear from hira soon,—[West- liche Post. Carl Schurz arrived in St. Louis over the Vandalia line yesterday morning in one of the boudoir cars which have re- cently come into fashion. He came from Chicago to_consult with Dr. Emil Pree- torius, of the Westliche Post, on busi- ness matters, for the distinguished Ger- man reformer still retains his stock in that profitable publication. He also came to discuss political matters with Dr. Kmil Preetorius. From the depot ho was driven to the residsnce of Dr. Pretorius on Park avenue, opposite Lafayetto Park, where ho was expected. After a late breakfast the Hon. Carl and the doctor drove down town together, and were seen upon Brondway several times dur- ing the day. **You are for Blaine?” interrogated the reporter. *No,” said Mr. Shurz. “I expressed mysolf freely upon his candidacy before the convention, and I have now only to reiterate my cbjections and to say that 1 will not support him. Dr. Preetorius, in the Westliche Post of to-morrow, will express m{ views thoroughly.” “Yes, thoroughly,” said Mr. Preetor- tius. ‘‘Here is the article, and that there would be no mistake Mr. Shurz wrote it himsolf” at the same time pro- ducing from his pocket a pieco of paper upon which was written the paragraph printed above, which thereporter there- upon wrote down as dictated, ‘‘Who will you support then?” asked the reporter. “Who will the independent republi- cane rupport?” *“‘Yes, if you put it that way.” “It depends entirely upon the dem- ocratic party. Passing over the conven- tional talk about the democratic party being depended upon to do the wrong thing at the wrong time and to secure their own defeat. I will say that a man like Cleveland of New York or Bayard of Deleware can beat Blaine.” “‘And why do you think so?’ “Becavse the nomination of either means the loss to the republican_party of New York, New Jersey and Indiana. It further means that the state of Wiscon- sin will be rendercd more doubtful than it is now.” “Is it doubtful now?” “‘Yes, because of its great German pop- ulation, The Germans cannot support Blaine. His nomination means that Massachusetts is doubtful; it means that Ohio and'Illinois are doubtful.” *‘Why Massachusetts?” “‘For the same reason that Ohio and 1llinois are doubtful.” “‘And that is what?” “Blaine is the representative ot that principle which has crept into tha poli- tics of this country—a desire to acquire offices only to enrich the holder.” “This talk about Blaine's state being a prohibition state, and this alleged foar that his alleged foreign policy would in- volve the United Utates in a broil with Germany—are they not somo of the rea- sons for Gierman-American opposition that will be advanced?” “Those are mere side issues, worthy of attention merely for the moment. The question really at issue is the Flannigan idea. Are the people of the United States to be called upon every four years to engage in a mere scramble for offices?” ‘‘Are not the democrats committed to ‘the Flannagan idea? What have they been fighting for, for so long?”’ “That is true, but with Cleveland or Bayard, the independents would at least have the opportunity of choosing the les- ser of two evils. Either would bejbetter than Blaine.” “Sam Tilden?” “The nomination of a msn like Tilden, or any ot his kind, representing democra- cy incarnate, would force the indepen- dent republicans to call a convention and put a ticket in the field for president and vice-president. The ticket may have little hope of success, but the platforra would enunciate living truths that wovid find echo in the hearts of all true lovers of the true republic. The Hale move- ment led indirectly to abelition. Princi- plea of true freedom bLave always tri- umphed in this country, and will again,” “Perhaps this German defection is overestimated?’ suggested the reporter. “Itisnot, Hardly had the news of tho nomination been flashed over the wires than such papers as the Milwaukee Freie Presse, the Cincinnati Volksblatt, the Westliche Poat, the Illinvis Staats- Zeitung, the Detroit Post, the Belleville Zeitung, and the Pittsburg Freiheits Freund, and dozens of other influential German dailies spit out the nomination.” Mr. Schurz was about to enlarge upon the reasons why the Germsn press should oppose Blaine when the train began to move, and the Globe-Democrat reporter moved out with his right supported by Doctor Preetorius, When the train had vanished into the tunnel the doctor gave the reporter some figures as to the number of German El. rs that had repudiated Blaine, He r:id stress upon thy bolt of Fred Has- saurek’s paper, the Oincinnati Volksblatt, a power 1n Ohio, “‘Will Schurz stump the State of Ohio sgainst-Blaine?” was asked. “That depends entirely upon the course pursued by the democratic: convention at Chicago,” was the reply. Late last evening a gentleman came from the Westliche Post office to say that the last copy of the Cincinnatti Volks. blatt, just received, showed inications of coming around to the support of Blaine, The article in question is not direct, but then it is direct enough to show that the Volksblatt has concluded that it does not want any ‘‘democratic turkey' at any rate. The Dude Defection, Washington Special to the Globe- Democrat, A small circle of republicans gathered about representatives Long and Ranney, of Massachusotts, when they appeared on the house floor this morning, aund im- mediately there began & sharp cross- questioning regarding the feeling in New England. Representative Miller, of Pounsylvania. said to them: “I live in a stroug republiorn district. Ninety-nine of overy 100 republicans favored Blaine's nomination, and the wh.le hundred will work enthuslastically for his election. These men_are upright and intelligent citizens and are sincero in their belief in Biaine. Now, take tho mass of repub- licans in Massachusetts who, 1 dare say, are no honester than the republicans of Pennsylvania, and what do they tnink about the republican ticket just nomi- nated{” “‘They are satisfied,” said Mr, Ranney, and the answer received a nod of assent from Goveraor Long. ‘‘Then what will the much-talked of opposition amount to! T think it will be practically a thing of the past in a few weeks,” sald Mr. Long. “*‘Was not Bloine's nomination brought about without the assistance of the office- holding machinery and in spite of all manipulation from that element?’ ‘It certamly was,” Mr. Long further rssured his question- ers that Massachusetts would cortainly give a Republican majovity in Novem- ber no matter who may be mnominated by the Democrats. “*Vermont has never voted for Blaine's nomination,” said the venerable Luke Poland, “*but it will give him and Logan as many votes at the election as it would any other Republican who could have been nominated."” Justice Miller, of the supreme couet of the United States, himself named as a possible candidate, while riding down town in a street car this morning, enter- tained a friend or two with a brief eulo- gium of Blatne. ‘I am glad,"” said he, “that the republican party has at last concluded to nominate its best men. Blaine is ane of the grandest intellectual tigures in the country. He possesses ex- ecutive ability of the highest order. Since the time of Lincoln no man has been chosen who was so thoroughly equip- ped in every way for the oflice of the chief executive.” Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indiana, dropped down on the capitol this morn- ing. ‘‘What do you think of the nomina- tiona?” was asked of him, 1 think they are exceedingly strong.” he replied. *‘It is foolish to underrate their strength. 1t settlas the question in Ohio. The republicans will carry Ohio,” but, he added, with a twinkle in his eye, “‘they can’t carry Indiana uuless a great mistake is made in the democratic nomi- tions.” Chairman Humvreys, of the North Carolina delegation, was in town to-day. “‘Blaine is wondefully popular in North Carolina,” said he, ‘“‘and it would sur- vrise nobody if this state should give hun a majority. He will get the whole neero vote, and we have 50,000 white republi- cans, among whom are many of the wealthiest and most influential men of the state. I believe we will wheel North Carolina into the republican column next fall,” Representative Horr, of Michigan was asked what he thought about the bolt. “‘What bolt? Oh you mean the talk of of those few politicl dudes who couldn’t rule the Convention and are trying to kick themselves out of the party. It is the three tailors of Tooley rtreet over ogain. These men imagine they aro the people, and you can’t convince them of their mistake. The bolt, as you call it, will be a small flash in the pan.’ ““1f McDonald be put at the head of the ticket the contest would be very close in indiana,” remarked Represena- tive Calkins, in answer to a question. “*If he be put at the tail he will add lit- tle strength to it. The old ticket—Til- den and Hendricks—would be defeated hy Blaine and Logan in Indiana, Bay- ard and McDouald, or Bayard and Mor- rison, would be the strongest tickets for the Democrats. Senator Vorhees said that the ticket was the weakest that could have been chosen. Arthurand Gresham, he thought would have caused trouble in New York and Indiana, but Blaine and Loganwould be easily defeated in those states if the Democrats put.up agood ticket. Senator Beck had the opposite opin- ion about the strength of the ticket. He thoughtit a very strong one and spoke highly of Blaine. He thounht the ticket would get a large additional Irish vote. Representative J. J. Adams of New York, who returned from home to-day said: ‘‘There is great dissatiefaction among the business men of New York. But,” he added, ‘It will not do to say that Blaine is beaten already. Ho is full of resources, and he will be very hard to beat. Tilden, Cleveland, or Slocum, with any good man—DMorrison, for in- stance—would carry New York, but that is not enough. If Ohio gives a majority 000, or upwards in Ostober, the aign will be the hottest ever wit- nessed. Morrison is probably the best wan for the second placs, because he was as good a union soldier as Logan, but in any event it will be a very hotly con- tested campaigu.” — DOGS OF DIVINES. W. J. Harsha This Interesting Subject. Several weeks ago, Rev. W, J, Harsha, pastor of the Dodge street Presbyterian church, accepted an invitation as tender- ed by the Young People’s Association of his church, to lecture before them at his convenience, Last evening was the time selected, aud the entertainment was ono of signal merit, Shortly after 8 o'clock some six- teen members of the Omaha Glee Club entered the church and rendered some very fine music, which was enthusiasti- cally received. Provious to the lacture every one was at liberty to speculate as to what train of thought the lecturer would pursue, but it was soon manifest that he had a *‘soft spot” for dogs. The inconsistence of the ladies was instanced by their objec- tion to dogs for fighting on street corners and indulging in other questionable amusements, while it is & well-known fact that as faras mankind is concerned the ladies will say *‘with all their faults we have them still.” The speaker dwelt upon the fidelity and affections of the dog, and it is safe to say brought out most of *‘Tray’s’' good oints, The dog's part in literature was ully shown. His use in indicating the sex of an author was pointed out in the assertion that a woman deacribing a dog would do 80 as awkwardly as she would throw a ball, or as a man would describe his heroine's dress. *‘Do you know why a dog's tail is like an old manf Because it is in-firm,” was introduced along with other questions The number of eminent divines who have been partial to dogs, as given by the speaker, is really astonishing, and it 1s surprising to find how much can be said in favor of dogs, as given by the speaker, is really astonishing, and it is surprising to find how much can be said in favor of dogs, and how deeply a simple narra- tion of their devoted self-sacrifice will ef- ) fect a listener, The speaker closed with a brief account of his own experiences with dogs. Quo- tations from leading authors were numer- ous, and many hearty laughs were in- dulged in, THE ADVENTISTS. of n Successful Meeting at Beatrice, Close The great camp mooting of the adven- tista closed at Boatrice The meoting was a most successful one, last Tuesday. both in attendance and the member of converts made, The Expresa thus de- scribes the closing scenes There were stirring scenes at the meot- ings yostorday. Fiity er more persons went forward asking the prayers of the church, and at six o'clock last evening twenty-four people were baptized in the Blue river below the Court street briage. The persons who expressed a desire to be baptized were conducted to a smaller tent, where they were examined as to fitness to take this sacred rite, and the necessity of full consideration brief ly but carefully explained. All pre sent, both candidates and others, voted to Jay aside useloss personal adorn nents. One spoke feelingly of a simple ring, a present from her husband on their wedding day, which she wore only in memory uf him. This, however, dear as it was from the association, she froely resigned. Tobacco also received a unani- moutly negative vote At the comple tion of this examination,nearly the whole camp, with the candidates repaired to the water for baptism. Oneamong the num- ber, an aged Catholic, rejoiced greatly in the new light. The temperance lecturo at 8 p. m., by J. E. White, of Kansas City, Mo., was truly an intellectual feast Ben Rush organiz:d the first temperance society in Feb. 1826, thue plucing himself at the head of the modern temperance move ment. The speaker proceeded to show from various passages of scripture, that the temperance work comes to us from the very earlicst timee, and has been an important work ever since man by in- dulging his appetite fell from his first es- tate. The speaker presented some scien- tific experiments to show the deletorious effect af alchoholic drinks upon the hu- man system, the stomach especially, and in some instances the nose, eyes, etc. Some very interesting charts mado the subject presented more clear. The grow of the denomination has been remarkable in some respocts. A prominent citizen living in Burt county, becoming interested in reading one of their papers, was led to purchase other publications that served to convince him of the truthfuiness of the position taken by this people. He then sent to lowa for a minister to come to ‘his place to preach. Elder Killzore, now of Texas, responded to the call. A church was or- ganized, that still stands, and is now the strongest church in the conference. Elder K. soon returned to Iowa, and the work in this state was left without a minister. About three years later Elder C 8. Boyd, of Lowa, came to look after the work, and by his earnest labors the work prospered, and although laboring alone, several churches were raised up in a fow years. In 1878 the Nebraska Conference was or- ganized. 1c then numbered thirteen churches. Elder Boyd was elected presi- dent and continued to hold that office till 1882, when he was called to take en- tire charge of the work in Oregon, At this, Elder A. J. Cudney, has been labor- ing in the couference as a minister since its organization, was elected to take his vlace, which office he has since filled. Ho was also elected president of the Nebraska Tract Society at the same time, Their work has seemed to move very rapidly during the past year. On account of their scarcity of ministers they lay great stress upon the importance of their home missionary work, and try to got every member to take an active part in it. Their work has greatly enlarged during the last twelve months. OUne year ago their weekly mail at. their headuarters in Fremont, might have been carried in a common milk pan, and since that time it has amounted to over eight bushels per week, or more than one-half of all the mail sent from the Fremont office, a place of 5,000 inhabitants, This one branch of their work has a capital of $20,000, and employs over thirty clerks, book-keepers, and traveling agents. Their organized churches in this state now number twenty- eight, with thirty-eight unorganized com- panies. The creed ‘of the ‘‘Seventh-Day Ad- ventists” embraces iwo leading doc- trines. The first refers to the seventh day of the week (Saturday) which they obaerve as the Sabbath, aud the term Ad- ventists indicates that they believe in the soon coming of the Saviour from Heaven, The existance of this people as a dis- tinct denomination aates from about 1846, While believing that the Lord’s coming is near, they have never presumed to set any time, That which has made them a distinot people is that they adhere quite strictly to the literal reading of the bible. They have no writtencreed, the Bible being their stand- ard of doctrine, No weight is attached to anything that antagonized the plain letter of the Inspired Word, The Bibleis accepled as the end of controversy. The points above indicated, viz., the keeping of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath, and the belief in the nearncss of Christ’s coming to earth, are chief among the doctrines held by this people. All other doctrines are in a senso subsidiary to these, growing out of them. BELLEVUE COLLEGE, First Annual Commencement Exer- cises Held Wednesday at Bellevue, Tho first annual commencement ex- ercises of the Bellevue college were held Wedneiday. A large number, both young and old went down from this city and they were joined by about fifty who came up from Plattsmouth, The exercises were held in a beauti- ful grove, where seats had been placed to form a spacious amphitheatre. Among the clergymen present were Rev. Dr. W. W. Harsha, of Illinois, president- elect of the college; Rev. William Me- Candlish, Rav. T. C. Hall, of this city; Rev. J. T. Baird, of Plattsmouth; Rev.

Rov, Mr. Baird offered prayer. tian Hour prize for essays by young gen- tlemon, Masters W. H. Betts, of Belle- vieu, Charles H. Clarke, of Omaha, and D. C. Morgan, of Plattsmouth, partici pated. Master Botta gave a thoughtful ossay on *‘Momory,” well delivered. Master Clarke's subjoot was “Education,” | which he handled very creditadly. Mas ter Morgan choseas his theme “‘Garfield,' treating it from w eritical standpoint with | ability and reading excellently. The second competition the A. Hoape, | Jr., prizo for young Iadies’ ossays, was | participated in by Misses Vera Keysor, of Bellevue, and Theodora Klepser,of Belloe- | vue, Miss Keyser's subject was, **1 Told | You So!” 1t was an earnest appeal to our better natures, and was creditably deliv ered. Miss Klopser chose ‘‘Free Schools' | for her theme, and enlarged upon it with | a force and point that showed a thor oughly trained mind. Her elocution was capital, Tho third and last competition was in | declamation, for the L. B. Williama' prize. Master Frank Graham, of Delle vue, gave “‘A Plea for 1‘“\!-1" Educa tion"" in sxcellent style. aster D, C, Morgan, of Plattsmouth, rendered * The Independenco Bell” with due apprecia- tion of its meaning. Mastor George Smith, of Plattsmeuth, declaimed *‘The Progress of Liberty” with vigor and good taste. At the closo of the competitions Rov, Mr. Blayney delivered the commence- ment address, his subject being *“Ideas,” in which he elogquently apostrophized thought and appealed to the trustees of the college to fulfill their duties and dis. charge their responsibilities with the ut- most fidelity, and returned thanks t» the faculty for their conscientivus andable work during the past year. The committee chosen to award the prizes to competitors, consisting of Rov. Messrs Collier and Baird, and S. F, Woodbridge, of the (Omaha Herald, re ported as follows: Christian Hour prizes—First,to Master W. H. Betts, of Bellevue: second, to Master Chas. H. Clarke, of Omaha. Hospe prizes—Firat, to Miss Theoeora Klepser, of Bellevue;second,to Miss Vera Keyser, of Belle Williams' prizes—First, to Master D. (. Morgan, of Plattsmouth; second, to Master Frank Graham of Bellevue. T'he board of trustees met and several important discussions and arrangements were proposed, bat in the absence of a quorum it was decided to meot next Monday evening. Tho young college is doing good work and it is hoped will develope greatly du- ring the coming year. STILL ANOTHER. The Corner Stone to the Fourth Pres- byterian Church Laid Last Sunday. The corner stone for the edifico of the Southwest Presbyterian society was laid at b o'clock last evening in the presence of a congregation of about 200 persons. The site is the corner of Twentieth and Leavenworth streets, upon which the chapel in which the people of this church worship was originally erected. Tt is a suit- able and attractive place, froniing upon two of the principal streets of that part of the city and adjoining a grove on tho south and west sides. The foundation laid is for a frame building in the gothic style fifty feet square, with lecture and Sunday school rooms partitioned by fold- ing doors, The whole ¢énibe thrown into one auditorium, seating about 350 people. Max A. Th. Boohnecke is the architect, ‘or the ceremonies of last evening a platform was erocted sfidoseats wero placed in a semi-circle. Rev. William McCandlish, Rev. W. Harsha, ¥.

Frank Collier, Preshyterian of Pennsyl- vania, was also present. KEach cof the mininters spoke and music was conducted by the choir. The addresses of the several ministers were full of congratulations and God- speed to the pastor and people of tho church, and several pleasant things wero said as to the relation of Rev. Mr. Harsha of the first church “*As a father of churches,” this being the fourth church, including that on Castellar street, which the Presbyterians have in this city.

Tobacoo—finest in the land. o —— THE ARMY OI' THE POTOMAO, The Reunion in the City of Churches —Bulldings in Gay Atti Grant Elected President, ) Times Dispatel, June 11, Beooklyn was gay with bunting to-day in honor of the Army of the Potomac veterans, The city hall and court-house were aflutter with the flags of all nations and the emblems of the various army corps, Over the entrance to Montague strect, at the city hall square, was a triumphal arch bearing the names of the heroes and of battlefields. The great af- ternoon parade was to pass under it to the review stand, a block above, at the [ umion shonld be held. more corps. The cheering drowned out sovoral more voices that struggled to be heard in his behalf. General Hartranft's voice was among those drowned ont, When Captain John Foley, of Mas sachusetts, put inan objection to Gener al Grant, thero was a soene of wild con- fusion for a moment. The name of the objectioner was angerly demanded, and thero was a request feom Goneral Jar- dine to know whether he was & membor of the Potomac atmy society. Captain Folay, with much heat, declared that he was a member, Then he withdvew his objection and General Grant was chosen, There was an anim d debato over the ecticn of a place whero the next re Richmond was one the applicants for the honor, and this led to some ramarks not complimen. tary to the hospitality union soldiers wore likely to receive thero, Tho point that Grant led the army there twenty years ago, and should lead it again failed to overcome the hearty letlers that woro read from Baltimore, and Baltt- more won the prizo.
