Hendricks as the candidate of the democracy for th‘n second place on the national ticket is chiefly, if nut entirely, due to the pre- tense that Hendricks has boen a martyr of the “‘great fraud” of 1877. ] great ratifioation meeting held at Indian- apolis immediately after the adjournment of the national democratic convention Mz, Hendricks sought to arouse the holy wrath of the demooracy and the sympa. thy of tender-hearted republioans by pointing to the high-handed crime np. potratod eight years ago against Tilden and himself, which is to be avenged now by the election of Cloveland and Hen- dricks. It seems to us that it is high time that the hue and cry about the *‘great fraud” is the most unmitigated bosh that has over beon raised in American politics. The less the democracy has to say about joker, and the jig was up with Tilden and perpetrated throv- guos, bull-do' y,rs, and tissue ballots. |impor'ant part in the great missionary Hendricks w 4y willing to be counted in | field of the wild west, The generous na- by purchs sod electoral votes, through t' 46 moat infamous of conspira- | attentive audience, respectful treatment, cies, but by great soul revolts at the ter- {nnd libersl support. rible ot’ ;e which the electoral commis.|aows will bring forth an abundant har- sion p erpotrated when it refused to go|vest among the sinners of the plains who behir ,Q the returns.

What is ¢he history [of that ‘‘great fraud?” In 3% the people of the United States fel a presidential election. In eevera's of the states, notably in Louisiana a ad South Carolina, the right of suffrage was abridged and popular soverei; mty destroy- ed by organized mob rule.. Democratic campaign clubs, mesked, moented and armed, perambalated thie country with the sole object of keepirig colored repub- licat way from the polls by threats and criminal violenos. Where they did dare to exercise their rights in the face of shot-guns ard revolvers, ballot boxes were stuffed or dentroyed, to prevent an honest and fair count. Ix order to make their election sure the great reformers, Tilden and Hen- dricks, through their accredited political agents entered into a conspiracy to pack the electoral college by bribery. One of the objective points of attack was the state of Oregon. In the face of the fact that (3regon had been carried by anaverage majority ofover 1,000 forevery republican elector, an attempt was made to bribe one of the electors and have his vote cast for the democratic candidates. Ungder the management of that intense reformer, Dr. George L. Miller, who wi member of the ex- exocutive natlonal committee, and an aspirant to a cabinet position, Omaha was made one of the great distribution centers of Samuel J, Tilden’s “‘bar'l.” It was from Omaha that special agent Patrick was dispatched to the Pacific coast, and right here, in Omaha, nego- tations were entered into for the vote of the late General Strickland. The villain- ious plots to capturo electoral votes in Nebraska and Oregon proved a failure, but the record of that ‘‘great fraud” is indelible. We need only ocite one of the cipher dispatches to show the arrant hypoorisy nomination.—Helena (M, 1) Indepen- dent, He is bound to getit when the labor reform convention meets in Chicago.

Mar- maduke governor, His nomination is almost a foregone cqnelusion, Ir was just as we predicted. Mr. James E. Boyd was representod in the national democratic committee by Dr. George L. Miller. Thataccounts for the enthusiasm of the Omaha /erald. How will Jim Boyd do for a democratic can- didate for governor, doctor? Tur effect of the last revision of the tariff is plainly shown in the material re- duction of the income from imports, which during the last fiscal year was $10,622,745 less than during the preced- ing fiscal year. Tho reduction of the to- bacco tax has caused & decrease of over $16,000,000 during the corresponding period, while the income from manufac- tured liquors shows an increase of nearly $3,600,000.

Congress alone had the right and duty to canvas the electoral returns and declaro the result. The republicans, being in the minority in the house, sought a way out of the dilemma through the commission, and the demo- crats, cpnfident of controlling a majirity of the lcommission, becamo & party to this ‘‘great fraud.” Ostensibly a patri- otic effort to prevent anarchy,the commis- sion was a game of draw between politi- cal gamblors In which the republicans Itis a matter of his- Allen G, Thurman, Bayard, Henry B. commission, that Mission Ridge.

The new law opens the way for a whole sale raid upon the surplus in the treas- ury, about the disposal of which there has been s0 much trouble. This method would seem to solve an important prob- lem. 1f the army of cowardly deserters and bounty-jumpers is not numerous enough to swallow the entire surplus, we would suggest that congrees at its next session order the balance to be distribut- od among the confederato scldiers, who certainly are more worthy of it than deserters from tho ranks of the union army. A COWBOY REVIVAL, The American cowboy has of lata been coming to the front with a whoop-la, It was the cowboy who recently introduced the Spanish bull-fight upon American soil, and this grand aud ennobling sport, if not suppressed by Heury Bergh, may possibly become a popular American amusement, Thecowboyhas appeared up- on thetheatrical stage aud in the arena of out-door sports to give realistiz exhibi- tions of western life. It was the Amwmerican cowboy from the rowdy west that stormed the exposition building and nomivated the Plumed Kuight and the Black Eagle, and later on the cowboy raided Chicago and painted the city a blood-red color, Now comes another cowboy sensation. overhauling was shortly apparent in the shape of a ‘golden dust heap’ which was far more valuable than the dust heaps of *Our Mutnal friend.' He realized over $10,000 from the gold filings. No one claimed the property and to make sure of it, he consulted the best lawyers in Brooklyn who assured him that ho had an undoubted right to whatever he found on the premises. My brother built a private residence on the lot and after- wards an elegant drug store. He died in 1874 and loft me this watch and chain, which he ha? had made to commemorate his good fortune.” *x ~——Fretwell, the auctioneer, who re- cently returned to Omaha from an ex- tended trip through the eastern states, where he was engaged in selling jewelry, tells some good stories about the ideas which some eastern people have concern- ing Omaha, “‘In some of the smaller towns of New York or Pennsylvania where I regis- tored from Omaha,” said Mr. Fretwell, ““I at oneo became an object of curiosity, and the loungers in the office would quietly ask the landlord who this man from Omahs was, and what his business was, Once I wasin a hotel which was crowded, and a new guest was told that he had to occupy a bed in the same room with me. When he learned thatI was from Omaha he eaid, ‘Excuse me; I'll try the other tavern.” After staying in a town two or three days, I voulyd get ac- quainted with some of the people who would bore me almost to death with all sorts of ridiculous questions about Oma- ha. 1 remember, in one small town, & fellow asked, ‘How many ple has ing period of that battle he threw aside | presidential candidates, were members his drum and grabbinz & wmusket he | of the electoral commission and parties fought bravely until wounded, which |to its findings.

The red- shirted firemen paraded the streets daily, hardly an hour passed by without a brass band being heard, the shouts of the base ballers rent the air every after- noon, and the circus added to the va- riety of entertainments on Thursday. Omaha can now take a restuntil the state fair. o —— LITERARY NOTES. History and Influence,” written by Prof. J. H. Patton, and published by Fords, timely political work, and ought to have a wide circulation, as it undoubtedly will. To those who know the democratic organization only by its recent plat- forms, campaign battle-cries, and press utterances, this little book will come as arevelation. No adequate conception can be formed of the real policy and principles of the democratic party, as a party, without study of its attitude on economic and state questions when it was at the zenith of its power and influence as well as since it has been ‘‘in the oppo- sition.” It will surprise many to know that it first came into existence through a disposition to meddle in European politics and wars in oppo- sition to the conservative policy of Washington, which policy, like pretty much everything else that the democrat- ic party has opposed, has become the settled aud recognized policy of the coun- try. This volume contains the remark- asgertion (which the author claims to have proved), that in spite of its having had control of the government from Jefi- erson’s time down to the rebellion, al- most without interruption, the demo- eure or policy which through success has besn accepted by the nation and harden- ed mto permanency. The book contains many forgctten and interesting facts For these facts the author challenges de nial; and for his fairness and calmness of statement he leaves every reader to judge for himeelf. This spirited and at- tractively written pieco of natural history is printed in clear open type; it is on excellent paper and in excellent binding, and is a book that every voter ought to possess, “A Country Doctor,” Miss Jewett's new novel, or rather her only one, since her previously published volumes have been made up of short sketches, is a very delightful book, Miss Jowett knows how to depict New England provincial life in a singularly truthful and charming manner, and she {nu never before done better work of this sort than in the pres- ent volume, The story is that of a young girl, left an orphan in infanoy and cared for by her grandmother, who grows up to entwine herself equally in the affections of thoee who knew her and those who read about her. Upon the death of her grandmother she goes to live with the village doctor, her guardian and a y map, who treats her as his daughter, and whom we come to love as much as_we do his ward, So in this quiet New England village these two grow up together, and that is about all there is to the story, so that lovers of the thrilling will not find much satisfac- tion inits perusal. For our heroine rows up with the determination to be fn 1f & physician, and (he little romance which an admirer seeks to weave into her life acts upon_ her as a less powerful motive than tfiu desire to follow in the footsteps of her haloved guardian.

Diaz, and published by D] Lotorop & Co., Boston, is a little vclume that de- serves a permanent place in every house hold. Tt is not a series of theoretical es- says; but a plain eand to hond discuseion of the questions which come up every day in_every home in the country, par- tisularly in those homes where it is ne- cessary to keep an eye upon the expenses of living; where much of the burden and brunt comes upon “‘the women folks;” where there are children to be fed, clothed and educated, and where an am- bition exists to live in respectable atyle. Mrs. Diaz believes in getting out of life what is best worth having, and she shows in the various chapters of the book how it can be done. But Mrs. Diaz only uses a sharp pen in writing about her ‘own sex; she em- ploys it with equal force in touching up the weaknesses and shortcomings of men as connected with household cares and managoment. She says that the woman who marries a farmer often goes into a workhouse, sentenced to hard labor for life. Many farmers who are amply able to have the drudgery, at least, of the household, done by a hired servant, al- low their wives to do it all, even, some- times, to the milking of several cows af- ter a hard day’s work. It is not from in- tentional cruelty, but from sheer igno- rance. If an overworked and nervously broken down woman complsins, thoy consider ailments as being natural to women, or a2 afilictions sent upon her by the Lord. Sheis a kind of machine which is liable to run down, but which may be wound up by a little medicine and set going again, It the medicine does not set her going again, he brings the minister to pray for her, and if she ies he saye, ‘‘The Lord has taken her away.” This is one of the problems which needs working out and explaining, and there are more which are just as thoroughly and foelingly discossed. If a million of these books could bo circu- lated throughout the country they would do a missionary work mnow bitterly needed. ——— ATT'Y-GENERAL BREWSTER, ON THE BEACH AT LONG BRA West Exp, Loxa Brascr, N, J., July 23,—Attorney-General Brewster has settled down here to a season half of toil and half of pleasure.
