According to Mr. Ieed, Postmaster General Giresham was on the vice-presidential slate until the Nebraska delegation entered the breech and forced As a matter braska dele- the nomination of Logan of fact the course of the gation had not the remotest influence upon the choice of the convention, During the recess that followed Blaine's nomination, Stephen B, Elkins and Wm.

He advised Elkins and Phelps, as a matter of honor, to dis- chargo their obligation to General Logan, without whose help Blsine could hardly have been nominated, It was because Mr. [Gresham ! refused to allow his name to be wused in connection with the vice-presidency and Mr, Arthur's friends declined to name a man from their own renks that General Logan became as a natural sequence the unanimous choice of the convention.

The strength and weaknees of Mr. Moody's revival work have never bofore been so truthfully exhibited. Mr. Moody is ex- hibited both as an earnest teacher and as a Chicago phenomenon—a natural out- growth of the city. The third chapter contains the beautiful episode of the life of Mr. Orr, and his tribute to the probity of the Friends, of Philadelphia, half a century ago. Kuagene J. Hall and Dr, B.

The wise men from the east have wired him their prophecy, and now the Omaha IHerald shouts for Cleveland and harmony, But in our opinion there can be no harmony as long as Cleveland has to pacify Tammany. Tue New York independents are now between tho devil and the deep sea. They want Cleveland nominated by the democrats, and promise him their votes if he is nominated, But if Cleveland gets the nomination he must makea bid for Tammany support, and if Tammany helps to elect him, Cleveland will have to go back on the reforms which the in- dependents want to inaugurate. If Cleveland is not nominated tho inde- pendents will have to chooso between Blaine and the democratic candidatc, sup- ported by Tammany, unless they want to go over to Butler.| Dr. Groxr Miwikx, the able editor of the Omaha Herald, will not attend the national democratic convention. Elec- tric bells and speaking tubes will connect im with the Nebraska delegation, so that he will be able to control matters and things from his quiet little editorial room out on the billowy prairies of the far west.

Thurston is not only very forgetful but decidedly un- grateful, Why should he, of all other men, cast slurs upon the offico-holders and assert what overybody in this com. munity knows to be untruo. Why should ho, who has been for years the chief lobbyist and machine politician of a great railway corporation, poso as & man of the people, sont to Chicago without the slightest effort on his own behalf? Why ehould he insult the intelligence of a republican audionce by telling them that not a single offise-holder assisted in tho nomination of Blaine when they all know that the man who holds the most lucra- tive federal office in America, Collector Robertson, of New York, was a delogate at Chicago, aud one of the most active machine workers in the convention, How was it with the local office-holders in Chieage, from Long Jones, United States marshal of Illinois, down to Postmaster Palmer, of Chicago, and the whole horde of subordinates, who were there working againt Arthur and for Logan and Blaine, 1t isnot only ungrateful but ungenorsus a long term of terms, as frequent change in the superintendency of our city schools tends to demoralize the whole system. Our echool accommodations, notwith- standing the the new buildings, continue to bo rather crowded, owing to the rapid increase of pupulation, hence it will be necessary at an early day to mako arrang- ments for several new school houses in various parts of the city. The private colleges and schools of Omaha are also in a flourishing condition, It is safe to eay that no city in the Uni- ted States, of the sizo of Omaha, offords any bottor educational facilities either in public schools or private institutions, ———— Ir no eloquent democrat can be found to nominate Ben, Butler in the national democratic convention, Bob Ingersoll ought to be sent for, Bob would be will- ing to nominate the devil if it would af- ford him an opportunity to make a good specch. —— WL the new anti-polygamy bill has some excellont foatures it is 8o extremely radical in somo of it provisions that it is doubtful whether it would hold water in on the part of Mr, Jubilee M, 'Thurston to deny his creator as u delegate from Ne- braska. Where would Mr. Thurston have been without the aid of Postmaster Qoutant, who, in violation of civil ser- vice rules, sscured proxies for subordi- nates of the post oftice from parties who were eleoted against Thurston, and whose proxies were voted for him, How was it that Postal Clerk Shill voted for Thurston on & proxy from the Sixth ward! How was it that Postal Carrier Hoffman voted for Thurston on Joe Kent's proxy! How didit come that Phillips, assistant surveyor of customs, went to the state convention and voted for ‘Churstun, It dectdedly cheeky for Jubilee M, Thurs- ton to claim that he made no effort to get the delegation when he was on the ground with Frank Walters, Frank Han- | % lou, and other henchmen to supervise the fraud put up by John Sahler, Walter Bennett, Pat O. Hawes, and McGuckin, Whose money was it that bought a Ger- man delegate from Saratogs, and what influence was there used to get the dele- gate from Millard to throw two votes for Thurston, when he was elected to vote against Thurston ! Who wrote the lotters on Thurston’s behalf to the vatious reil- road strikers all over the state to make sure of his spontaneous choice? Does Me, Jubilee M.

No wonder the town has not grown in two hundred years—for—lager 18 unknowr.” The popularity of humorous designs is generally acknowledged, but is significent to notice how decidedly American in character the humor must be to suit pub- lic tasto in this country® The absolute certainty of the growth of a national school of art is as clearly shown by this as by greater matter, There is no ap- preciation of European humor, and here tho large contingent of German citizens cannot popularize German picturo. The demand is for American cards, designed by American artists, reproduced in Amer- iven stylo and as free as possible from all foreign element, Some of the most suc- cessful American artists are among Prang's designers, reaching a larger pub- lic through his publications than they could command in any other way. —— CITY WALKS AND TALK. —“Wiie driving along avenue, on the woat sidoof Hansoom park the othor day,” said a well known gen- tloman to the Bex's Man About Town, I noticed beautiful residence, south some little distance from Mogeath's place, and Georgin upon inquiry I learnsd it belonged to George W. Holdredge, general manager of the B. & M. railway, The house isa large structure, and very attractive in its architecture, I am no architect, but I think it is of the Queen Anne style. That's near enough, anyway. Thoe house is located in a grove of trees, and all the surroundings are in keeping with In the rear is a commodious and neat stable. The water supply is obtained by means of a windmill, "Every thing about the place indicates an air of refinement and luxury. Mr, Holdredge by the way is one of the best nilromi‘ men in the coun- try, andis a cultured gentleman. Iam glad to see him prospering, I believe he is o graduate of Harvard.

The street railway will run the entire length of this thoroughfare, and probably to Hascall's park. The track is already laid to the Union Pacific crossing. The wonderful improvement that has been made in Thirteenth street, as well as in every part of the city lying south of the Union Pacific railroad, is due more to Councllman Hascall than to any other one man. He has not only made himself tich, but has been the means of adding mueh to the wealth of many other prop- erty owners, Hascall is a shrewd, enter- prising and energetic business man,” +*x ‘There is a man in Omaha who rominds me very much of James G Blaine,” remarked a well known gentle- man. “His name is Will Brown. He looks like Blaine, he talks like him, and acts like him. If I didn’t know him and should meet him I would take him for Blaine.” * **x ——*“When I was attending the na- tional republican convention,” said a prominent Omaha politician, “I met Senator Tom Bowen, of Colorado. He is a man of positive ideas. I like his style. Although worth several millions which he has acquired from mining oper- ations, he does not parade his wealth in any way. No one would judge from his appearance that he was a bonanza senator. It is said that he is a great devotee of the national game of poker. Bowen never forgets his old friends and acquaintances who knew him when he was a poor man, He was a private soldier in the KFirst Nebragka regiment.” L * **x ——‘“Tknow itis a violation of the oath of secrecy to give away anything that occurs in the grand jury room,” said a grand juryman, “but I cannot help telling you that one of the most impor- tant matters beforo us for investigation was a dynamite case. 1t was a villainous af tempt to blow up Timothy Kelley, one of the jurymen. Some one gave him a loaded cigar, and while he was smoking it in the jury room it exploded with & loud report nearly frightening Mr. Kelley out of his wits. A thorough investiga- tion of the dynamite outrage failed to discover the perpetrator of the deed, but it is suspected that it was the revengeful work of some friend ofa certain man who has been indicted.” —_———— STATE JOTTINGS.
