_THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. E-MA The Unutinf‘nrtnry Management at the In- sane Hospital Yet in Existence, THE BOARD SIGHS FOR RELIEF, The Plattamonth Young Men's Repab- lican Cinb Worries the State Journal—-New Town Laid Out—Capital News, ROM THE BER'S LISCOLS BUNEAD.T ard of public lands and build- s been in session the past week transacting the monthly routine of busi- ness, and as usual the insane hospital matters took much of their time and at- tention, and continues to be a source of annoyance and trouble above all other state institutions. Matters since the ap- pointment of Mrs, Matthewson as matron are more unsatisfactory than ever to the board, who see no hope ot a change for the better until a long suffering public ys a change from the Dawes admin- istration. L'he hospital for the insane has a king and queen, but no cabinet, and the assistant physici ady physi- cian and steward are kept without in- fluence and from counsel as far as pos- sible. The statement is freely made that the lady physician’s judgment and ox- perien is contined to the task of feed- ing two fi ] nts who have a determined stand to swieide by s \ tion, and the board finds that the vices of the professional and valuable as- sistants ot the hospital are kept crowded aown and out of useful channels under the r chamber procedures at that in- stitute that two separate legislatures have suid ought to be reformed. Ttneed not bea surprise if an open rupture occurs between the superintendent and the board, in spite of the fact that a one-man power has succeeded in keeping the su- perintendent in power and forcing amat- ron on the board against their unanimous opposition. While this state of aff 15t th aries go on, and early morning of the second day’s session of the board the superintenaent was making itious inquiries concerning the regu- ulowance. There wiil be a prodigious h of relief on the part of the bhoard when they can see the dawn of satisfs ) he Nebraska hospi- ser- A REPUBLICAN CLUB, Lincoln sers, notably the State Journal, are in a state of per- turbation over the recent Young Men's Republican club banquet at Plattsmouth —the Journal, be that club invited Senator Van Wyck for one of its guests, who is a repunlican in every part of the United eg except the third story of the Journal building. The young men’s republican club of Plattsmouth” is built of material that is honest erough and in earnest cnough to keep alive and pros- perous in Nebraska the only incorporated club west of Chicago.—u eclub that ought to be the pride of every re- publican in the state, without an’exhi- bition of editorial _intolerence, It must be, to many, humiliating to read the strictures that radiate from the editorial tripod situated on the apex of the mag- nificent structure known as the Journal office, that has been accumulated and sustained by state patronage gleaned as profits froni the republican party. The young me! republican ciub of ~ Platts- mouth has enjoyed no such inducements to keep its camp fires burning, and when itis remembered that the editor of the State Journal, who, with other promi- nent republicans, were invited to theclub banquet, did not esteem the invitation enough to” acknowledge its r oY, it would seem as though the club had been treated with all the contempt it deserves. FUTURE CITIES. The Lincoln or B. & M. town site com- pany, which plats and_locates the new towns on the lines of the B. & M. in the state, has had a busy year thus far, owing to many Burlington extensions this year into new territory. ‘The company has already located and laid out thiriy-two new towns in the state, in additien to the yearly work of platting new additions to towns already established and in which they have proprietary interests. These thirty-two new towns are located along the B. & M.’s Grand Island extension to the northwest, along the Elwood branch west through Frontier county, and on the Blue Hill Holdrege extension. The compnny has also put in a few new towns on the Denver main line, and every one of the lot is booming its individual self into a city, with corner lots raising in value, The town site work on the new B. & M. extensions this summer has kept three surveying parties uctively at work eversinee stakes could be driven in tne early spring, and is a fair index of the way in which Nebrask: i ine county has quietly d the information to Capital City ]mrlim that the arrangements for the egislative ticket in that county are com- plete and that men had been agreed upon. This arrangement contemplates the election of F. 1) Foss as one of the legislators, and, in term, for the speaker- ship of the house, all of which, no doubt, would be yery pleasant to the governor, who would be enabled in that way to see a little substance to take the place of the vapory film before his eyes, which hesi- tates in formulating a senatorial boom., Butthe Foss speakership combination has a terrific gauntlet yet to run, before it is safe to count upon. OTHER EVENTS, Saturday eyening Mr.and Mrs.I. Friend celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marringe, their eatertainment con- sisting of a reception, banquet and ball, held at the onic Temple hall, where some seventy-five couple weve in attend- ance enjoying the anniversary. The col- lation se was a complete’ champagne supper; Brown’s opera orchestra fur- nished the music and the festivities con- tinued to a lute hour, Among the guests prosent from abroad was Rabbi Benson. of Omaha, who during the course of the banquet made a felicitious speech con- firmulu(ury to Mr. and Mrs. Fri mong the handsome gifts reccived were evidences of the effect of the heated Oterm upon the people, three complete ana eclegant silver water sets being umong the array of gifts en- numerated, one of them coming from the congregation of which the host and hostess are members, In Justice Cochran’s ing case has been terxminated in which Mrs. Madovnie sued one Goldwater for defense being an offset for work alone, and performed for plaintift, one item of which was for $2.50 as ser- vices for writing a letter, The case was & contest of attorneys and until far inte the night the eloquent pleas were contin- ued until all O street resonnded with the sounds of oratory. The case ended in diswissal with the costs taxed up to both parties, The juil records yesterday showed that twenty-four arrcsts had been made and that twenty-four Bilgrims would eat Sun- day dinner at the expense of the city. These arrests covered a variety of mis- demeanors, ranging trom plain drunks upward, and the police court in conse- quence will be a busy place to-day. One of the important arrests is of a Mrs. Hawkins and three others for conspiracy together and secreting stolen property. The officers who were armed wit‘\ the segrch warrant and made the arrest found atrunk full of shoes and a large, varied and iuteresting assortment of underwear on the pre Hawkins is re court an interest- n 2 p. m. to-day, The zens of East Lincoln, which, by the way, is one of the growing suburbs, would like a few improvements at the hands of the city fathers, including an ctric street light, some much needed sidewalk and the extension of water' ser- vice out to Twenty-seventh strect A goodly number of Lincoln peonle of musical fastes were excursionists to Omaha and that city's great musical fes- tival on Saturday last, to attend the mat- inec concert on that afternoon.

The Washington correspondent of the ca Observer writes: I'he government s employed in the departments at hington number 15,000, making an army half again as large as that of Xenophon in the retreat which he writes of in his “Anabasis.” A curious army it is—old and young men and women, of all types, strong and weak, crippled and active—its variety is as broad as that of human life! Fifty-eight hundred of its number receive salaries which range from $900 to $1,800 a year. and all, from chiefs to privates, are allotted a vacation of one whole month at almost #ny time of the year they choose to take it. ‘This army of clerks never strikes. It is content with its wages, and it has no reason to complain of its hours of work »se hours are practically only six dailv. The departments open at 9 o'clock, and the clerks are expected to be at their desks at that hour. They lily until noon, and then take hour for luncheon. At 1 o'clock they are back at their desks, and at 4 their day’s work is done, T'he treasury contains between 3,500 and 4,000 clerks. ‘It is the largest department of the government. At 4 p. m. four human streams pour fourth from its vari- ous exits, and the streets become crowded in a monient. Here goes u dashing young lady with a lunch basket in her “hand, dressed in the latest fashion, and with a new spring bonnet resting jauntily above her banged curls. Beside "her i5 a g, young wan in a Derby, who chats with her almost lovingly as ‘they pass out to- fifllllcr. In front of her is a plainly ressed old woman, who probably keeps a tamily out of the $720 a year which she mukes by copying papers” all day long, and back of her 1s a long thin dude with a collar as big as a shirt cuff und enormous ears, Further back there is a widow in mouvning, and as you look at her you v‘vumh‘r whether her husband was a sol- dier. There are 4,000 women in the govern- ment departments at Washington, and among the best-looking and most intelli- fir nt ladies of the capital are so employed. y come, us a rule, from good families, Many of them are the widows of noted generals, the daughters of ex-governors and ex-congressmien, and now and then you will find the tive of a president or a cabinet minister. Many of them have travelled widely, and the great malority are ellucated | and refined ladies.” They do all kinds of work, and receive salaries ranging from $720 to $1,800 a year. As money counters they are much more expert than the men, and the rapidity with which they can count thousands upon thousands of dol- '8 without making a mistake makes ar brain whirl as you watch them. 'hese money counters qet about $75a month, and they count millions of dollars every month. At one side of each one on the table lie great piles of greenbacks, done into packages us they come from the press. 1am speaking now of re tion bureau of the treasury. Tk are old and dirty. The strip of per around each package of 100 bills states where they eame trom, and who counted them in “the country. The voung lady takes this off, and, moistening her flngers with a wet sponge in front of her, she counts the bills like Iifihtnmg. and 1if the package is not right, she reports so to the chief, and the banks from which the bills come must stand the loss. The girls sel- dom muke a mistake, and 1f they do so or pass & counterfeit without noting it they must make the mistake good, and the, amount is tuken out of their salary. They can tell, however, a bill simply by feeling it, and a bank cashier will make a hundred mistakes where they make one. Not long ago one of these young lady counters was anf::od upon a lot of $100 notes. She had 0 dropping the scraps on the floor beside her in & pile, after verifying the count. While she was 50w citi counting s package she would h{:fl‘l‘i I scrap, marked with the name of the sont it, on the table beside her At last she came to a pack that con- tained ninety-nine notes, and on looking for the scrap was territied to find that it had fallen among the others. She was sure she knew the name of the bank, but she could not prove it. The bank was notified and refusea to acknowledge the mistake, and the poor girl was forced to pay the §100. x oth sexes of clerks in Washington work in the same department, and it is often the case that young men and young women have desks side’ by side. There is no restriction as to social intercourse, and it is & matter of surprise to outsiders that so few marriages occur among the clerks. It is not that the girls are not good looking, nor that they are not good, neat and intelligent. And it is not that the men are not noble and at tractive. Washington living, how- ever, is expensive, and it is contrary to the rules of the department that two members of the same family should hold positions under the govern ment. The lac in the departments eatn enough to keep them respectably, and they do not care to marry a man who has no larger income than them- selves, and havein the end not so much pocket money than she had before. }'I-u y of the marriages which do take place aro wit! outside of the depart- ments, and it is not an uncommon thing here for a good-looking clerk to marry a CONZressman, a senator, or a newspaper correspondent. Mrs. Theaker, who is to e Stanley Matthews' wife, was a gov- ernment clerk when she met and married Judge Theaker, a former commissioner of patents, Stephen A. Douglas 1 adepartment clerk, and Attorney eral Brewster's wife, although slie was Robert J. Walker's daughter, was wor ing in the departments when he fell in love with her, I don’t think women are justly treated in the departments, Men who do the same class of work often receive Ingher ies than the women, and a $1,400 and a $1,000 clerk are employed on ume work at times, and the $1,000 woman perhaps does the most. It in 1862 that women entered the s yists and counters at a s of $720 per vear. They were not el to clerkships. At this same time the men appomted to clerkships received $1,200 a year, and later, when the salary of such women wa d to $900, men doing the same work were paid as _high as $1,200 and $1,600 per annum. [n] 1830 women were made eligible to clerkships, and since then they have been promoted until now two recéive $1,800 a ye But the high-priced women clerks are very and men who do as good work re- ceive as agule better pay, and a certain of holding their positions The young men in the departments as a rule, have no one but themse! to are for, and if you ask them why they re not married, they will tell you that their sulary is not large enough for them to support w Nearly all of the single women in the departments have othirs depending upon them. N of them send their sisters and bathers to school, and many of them are widows, who in_this way support and educate heir families. Some of the old lady clerks are very fine looking, and some of them had noved careers in society before going into the departments. One I know who had Jef- ferson for an ancestor, and another, per- haps the most beautiful of the white- haired ladies of the wife of an Ohio gov Py great friend of President Lincoln. An- other Ohio governor has a duui;hterin the departments, and one of the fine old ladies of the pension office, now a great grandmother, is a Kansas woman, who was the first woman clerk ever elected by a legislative body in this country, These old lady clerks dress well among them are some of the most agre able talkers in Washington, hearts are young, though their hair is white, and they are almos cinating when the bloom ‘was on their cheeks and they wore the belles of their e sta . he women do the bulk of the dead let- ter officc business. In 1884 there were twenty-seven male clorks in the dead lot- ter office and seventy-eight female clerks. The annual pay roll'of the male clerks was £37,400, an average of $1.41 per day. The annual pay roll of the seventy-cight female clerks ‘was $78,420, or an w@verage of $3.31 day. The men did practic- ally the same work as the women, but they reccived $1.10 more a day for it, and Imdylhe men’s work been done by women the government would have saved £9,311. Had the men done all the work at' the above rate the pay roll would have had to be increased $24,155. It would seem that an equalization board ought to be appointed and that Uncle Sam at least should give his nieces the same pay as his nephews when they do the same work. ivil service of the government a good place for women It scems to me tha is. The hours of il short, the work is not such that 5 tem, and the labor is ries are better than Imost any other oc- 3 associations are what women choose to make them. There to be an idea that women in the de- partments were as a rule questionable cters; that they were indebted s for their appointment, * appointments were often given in the way of a hargain for questionable relations with such congressmen. There may have been instances of this charac- ter, but they are by no means common, and ninety-nine huudredths of the women in the departments to-day are as pure us any in the country, No_ woman who wishes to be honest need fear that she will be msulted while working for the government, The government clerks stand well n Washington city. They are far above the average of the intelligence of men doing the same character of work which they do throughout the country. Washington is & pleasant place in which to live. 1t is expensive or ches as one wishes to make it, and it is to be in the future the great educational, social and literary cen- ter of the country. “For economy anp comfort ey spring, we usé Hood's Sarsapari writes a Buffalo, N.Y.)lady. 100 doses One Dollar. ——— That's What Let Him Out. *Now," said a gentleman to a negro whom he had just ewployed. *I want you to come early every morning.

THE BOURBON PARTY IN POWER The Administfation Denounced by Friends and Derided by Enemies— The Campaigh of 1888 and Uertain Republican Success, The second annual banquet of the Young Men's republican club, of Platts mouth, last Thursday night, was of more than local importan It was a state af- air, and brought together many of the most prorainent republicans in Nebraska. The opera honse was appropriately dec- orated for the occasion, while the ~tables were supplied with everything calculated to tempt the appetite. The speeches were eloquent, pointed and brief, and covered a wide range of topic. PROFESSOR DRUMMOND delivered the address of welcome. “Every hiving thing,” said the speaker, “‘needs organization, therefore the re- publican party needs some such organi- ion as this to keep it bound together and give it life, and I think that during the last fow years since this has been in existence the Young Men’s republican club has been the life of republicanism 1 am sorry to say that some of those who were expected here to-nightare unable to be withus. 1 ve in my hand letters of regret from a'large nun.ber of gentlemen, some of which are Senator Ingalls, Gov- .

THURSTON congratulated the club on the success of the panquet of last year, but regretted that no speaker had ‘been selected banquet to talk about the 1adies. He did not know why he had been selected to respond to the toast, *‘Our Ancient Ene- mics.” He was only comparatively bald- headed and insisted that he was still ung man. Our ancient enemies are anc in name only, for there is not a doctrine of the democratic party that any of them have the cheek to own up to or to father to-d Instead of follow out what they claim to be the princ of democracy they have been p followers in 1lie footsteps of every on- ward movement,of the republican party smee its origin. [Applause.] Their only claim to the suffrage of the Amer can people of to-day is that they h abandoned every principle that tl have stood forin'the past, and assert that they are perfectly willing to take up and enforce whatever republican doctrine they can in the future. The democratic party of to-day, and the ancient party as administered by, its present executive, is in a state of “‘innocuous desuctude,” if I have got the name right. This ancient party of purity, reform and good govern- mentis not modern. it seems to me, inits manner of going about the business to carry on the - government. It seems very willing to lot well enough alone. 1 call your attention to the solemn fact that the claim of the demo- cratic party so far is ti they have had a safe and peaceable admi ration, and that simply means that they have let the wheels of government o on in the same old tracks that the republican part startea them in. They are afraid in con- firus» to attempt to legislate upon any of the ancient doctri . For all these yaars that the republican party was in power they said and aflirmed all over the coun- try whenever the hogs died of cholera, the grasshoppers eat’up the crops and general ¢ ss prevailed, that it was a dircct result of taritl, [Lau hLur.} They have been in power a good share of the democratic administration ahd not one move has been made toward remod- eling this terrible republican tariff, They said to the laboring man in_every time of depression or labor trouble that it was the manner of running the goy- crnment, and the failure of the republi- can party to properly take care of the inteersts of the laboring men. The demo- 'ty has a president and full ad- ation, a house of congr of its own, and notwithstanding this, the labor trouble has been steadily increasing, and ar not a single measure has been in- troduced to ameliorate the condition of skilled laber in this great coantry of ours. The conntry is safe, gentlemen, in the hand, present democratic admin- i 1se this ministration has ther the brains nor the courage to put into force any principle or doctrine of the democratic party. It is sate, because i an admistration of medioerity, ot seven mule power stubborn is all there is to it s¢ ancient en- emies of ours? They are in power. All the patronage that we can get is what we get to eat at these little banquets.

My friend, Sam Chapman here, who has just #ot back from Kansas, remarked 8 few minutes ago that down there when & homesteader wauls to get solidly lo- the and gets a wind-mill in operation; and after he gets down 200 feet or so he strikes water. I venture to say that the largest wind-mill power in Amorica conld not strike reform in the | democratic party. 1 have watched it since it w into power at Washington., So far as I can remember since they have gone into power there has hoen only systematic reform of what is ealled Louneing offensive partisans. The offen- sive partisan has been a groat eve-sore 1n their minds, and have noticed how | offensive democ: editors haye been all over Nebrasks hey have been offen- sive in Plattsmouth and they could not | § get an office. (Apvlause.) Coming from the ridiculous to the sublime I am still perploxed at the idea that 1 am to talk about democratic reforn Lhere wero ten or twelve planks in their platform of 1876, and everyone commenced “Reform i ry.”” We have failed yet to as- just at what point reform has begun outside of bouncing offensive tisans. When I was in Washington last winter I met a friend from Nebraska in the bureau of engraving, and who since the democratic party came info power has become a good democrat. He was n vepubliean at the time that the change took pl He gave me some samples of reform in the bureau of engraving. For instance, a clork who was an expert in engraving of every description was emloyed at a salary of $29%0 a year, and when the democratic party came into power they concluded they did not want a $280 clerk in the bureaw, so they noti- fied him that the place would be vacant, In duc time they appointed another man, They found that'it was necessary to reforny the burean and appoint a demoerat at the same salary, but that man having no ox- perience in the handling of bonds and notes, they sent for the republican expert 1 (-m;vlny A him at a salary of $1400 a r. Reform was necessary, The; ployed that ¢ $1400 a i do the work ore, and the other man is still in the oftice’ drawing 2300 a yes When I got to the white house last February I expected to see s new doorkeeper, 1'thought of cour reform had begun at the white hou: to my great suiprise my republ who had sat there for many years still sitting there and performing the duties the same as befol I said how 1s this? and ho said he w till there but expected to be ousted any day; up to that time they lid not been able to find a man to fill his place. Ho presumed the reason was e happened to know most every public man in the country. I expect some day they will retire him on half pension because reformis always necessary. I don't know that this republican club wili do any great amount of work towards bringing about reform in the democratic party, but [ im- agine the only way to reform ‘that party would be to reure them in about two years from now, with the experience that they have been unable to munage the gov- crnment any better than the republicans have manazed it and furthermore with zood eertitfcato and aflidavit,as my friend ir. Thurston would say, that they haye mnot found any deficiency in the treasury departmeut although they rep- resented in ¢ campuign that defi- ies existed, which they would ex- pose, but which they have been unable up to the present time to find. Treasurer Wyman is in Omaha attending to a more profitable business than in Washington. He has turned over u\'crr penny that be- longed in the treasury. I cannot go over the ground as my end Mr. Thurston did and announce” myself for any partic- ular candid L is to nominate aman whe sfully lead the party in 1 vor of the man whom the majority of republicans believe capable of carrying the country. * * * My republicanismbegan . good while ago. I have alittle relie, it is’a badge of the republican candidate in 1856- president, John C. Fremont, and for vice president, William L. Dagton of New Jersey. I wasamere boy then, and fol- lowed in the procession as boys do n the when thel campaign, At that time g ng in Olio, what was d the western re- serve, and thero I got my ideas of the corrcet principles underly- ing the republican party. That party was one of progress and not like the bourbons of the democratic party,neither learning or forgetting anything. In the very first platform of the republican rarly of 1856 we find the most progress- veideas. It was founded in_ the first place with a view of making Nebraska and Kansas free states. ‘“‘Free soil, free specch, free men and Fremont,’' was the battle cry of that campaign. The eighth plank of the platform was in favor of the construction of the Pacific railroad from the most central portion of the United States, and the ninth favored internal improvements. The republicans of 1856 had no place to point with pride to as the republicans of the present era. They could not look behind them, but they had to look into the future and grapplé with living 1ssues. And when we go back Zain to these principles of progress and reform as its fundamental idea, you will find some of the old enthusiasm kindling, and the young republicans will go fo ward and do battle again as the old re- publicans did in 1856, JENERAL GEORGE 8. SMITH, toust, “‘Republican N said: I look over this assem- bled throng and see those who in 1860, tenderin years in all probability they must have been, because they are not very old yet, who took upon thomselves to say to their sisters, their mothers and their fathers, “*Good-by, I will go to fight the battlo of my country.” I['have had the pleasure of attendi 2 A great many state conventions in this stute.

There is nothing I would like more to talk about than this subject, but my time is short and I simply say this: In 1870 the s of Nebraska was i hun- dred and se eight thousand peo- ple. Fifteen ye afterwards, with the onward march of progress, she num- bers 500,000 people. In 1870 the spubli- n majority of Nebraska was trom 5,000 0 15,000, and in 1885 the republican ma- jority for any candidate that the party might put forth is from 15,000 to 25,000, In"its onward march of progress it has been at “Westwa of empi takes its w.

HON. H. H. SHEED was the next speaker, responding to the toast: *1884—Then and Now--1886." The speaker referred to the import of the words “then” and “now," ‘and said *These are the words that open the mys- tie past and the golden future, Only two short years ago your club was organized. It came into existence during a campaign the most brilliant in its nomination since the days of Henry Clay.” Then referring to the election” resulting in defeat, he oxpressed as perhaps a fortunate ihing for the republican party and the American people ths they were obliged to undergo four years of democratic mismanagement and mis- rule. . They are thus given an opportu- nity to realize how shallow were the pre tonses of the party that is now in power The national democratic mistit parlors are sedulously engaged in sending away disgusted customers from among their best friends, so that itis no difficult thing to prediot what the result witl be two Joars hence 'I‘Iu-lu]pnlvfi. an party wiich s0 long and zealously guarded the in- terests of the nation and directed her des- tiny will be returned to power with not only the confidence of its own frionds in creased, but the respect of its ancimt en- omies greatly enlarged. He paid olo- quent tribute to the party's past history and the brilliant prospects of its future joars. HON., SAM CAAPYAN The next toast, free ballot the safo- guard of republican institutions, " was re sponded to by Hon. Sam - Chapy follows: “If I was in the habit of gizing T would offer one to-night for at tempting to speak before this grand as. sembly of young republicans, It filled me with enthusiasm when Mr. Rosewater held up to the view of this Young Men's Republican club the badge of l*m days when the free soil party took the place of the old organizations under the banner of Fremont, free territory, free speech and free ballot. 1 was but_u boy at that time, and still when that old badge was exhibited here, lessons that my mother taught me returned as vividly” as if it were but yesterday. The future of this ion depends upon the exercise of the free ballot. T am proud to say that I 1i n a day when the republican party reared tae banner of our country to the height that it attained and left us an undivided country and left us a free ballot. To-day we are enjoying a democratic administys tion. This great republican party rejoic- inginats strength, in its enlightenment and the civilization that it attained and brought to this country, bows its head for a brief poriod of four years only, and then it will take up the old banner and the old and march on to victory. [Applau Gentlemen, it strikes mo that everything thatis great and grand in this on represents the republican party. The picture of the hero of Apno- mattox epitomizes the republican party Lincoln and all the blessed memories con- nected with him is bu voice and token of the republican part All of the men of that day who with sword fought the battles at the front, with words eloquent with wisdom in our national issues sus- tained the arms of the republican party. Everything is but the history of this or- ganization, It is you and me and everyone who to be a re- publican and with that grat party to see the republican organ- ization 15 mzintained “intact; that its doctrines are borne to the front, that its tradicions are kept alive and that its memories may be ever fresh in the minds of the American people, oW, then, what more could be said of the free ballot. It is the great foundation of this party. It is disrcgarded in certain sec- tions of this American union. The great flag floats in_every state of this union ; on every foot of rom the Atlantic to the Pacific and yet th are men that are citizens that are denied the free bal- Iot that we profess to respect and_honor. Until that right is given us, until it is corded to every man, black and white, high and low, rich and poor in this land, this republican party must keep up its organization. (Applause.) GEORGE A, MAGNEY, Papillion. Times responded toust, “The signs of the times.” He believed the signs of the times were good This ~ elub isan indication of what signs of the times were. Now what does this mean? It means that there will be a determination that there will be an honest standard and recognized endeavor in two years from now to redeem what they have lost; and the indications and signs scem to be this and point in the same direction every- all over this broad land. I think thst itis to be redeemed by organization of the republican party” all “over this country before the next presidential election. Organization neeessary and it is well for Plattsmouth and Cass county that this organization is preserved. The; will do better work two years from now, The democratic party has not given the people what they expected and it has not amounted to as much as the democrats thought it would; they are dissatisfiecd with the results themselves and the re- publicans look on with a great deal of pleasure. The republican party will take advantage of this misdeed in “the next canvass two years hence just as surely as there is a republican ticket nominated and just so sure will it be elected. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the old ticket and expressed the belief that there was no man so well qualified to take charge of the chief magistracy of the nation asthe plumed knight of Maine. HON. M. A. HARTIGAN responded to the toast, “Ngw Allies of Party.” He said the thousands of labor- ing men who listened to the siren song of English free trade, as aid choir of the dem- that they after four aney and ‘uncertainty in ing enterprises, hesitancy in ment of capital in this country, the shrinkage of American industry and commierce and the sudden rise and rapid i, owth of the protecting idea of England, nce and Germany, will have reason to k forgiveness and come back. We will have those who believe in a reform for reform’'s sake, and not as a mere political pass word, who love honesty from edu- cation and purity of principal and who are forced to admit that th is little good that can out of the present political Nazaretn, We will have the political expericnce of this nation for four years, an experience that will settle the preference of the young voters who came upon the stage of action and the earth since the demo- cratic party went out twenty-five years ago and returned to power through a political accident, aided by the ill-advised and misinterpreted cry of “Rum, Roman- ism and Rebellion,”” \\'c may have St. John and John B. Finch, viding we can meet their figurves, but from the ex- periences had with this worthy pair in Ohio lately, the democrats aré not dis- posed to bank so heavily upon them as heretotore, and the hLonest temperance element will see that from ti 4 of education, progress and pat the reforms th y ask.

John Rush responded to the toast, “Young Republicans the Hope of the Nation,” und was followed by W OWIL Mendota Carpenter,” the ar Doctors."” He said The tariff question is one of the oldest questions in American politics and the most important question connected with our politteal econom Properly adjust- ed, it spreads the carpet upon the home and lights a brilliant fire around the home of industry. Properly adjusted, it s¢ts in motion the wheels of our industry and makes us what we' arc to-day. This question bas been discussed more tusn of the to { the rittan’s Green on any other question of legislation s!ne?h organization of this government.
