The untimely aking oft the schemors’ patron saint is a veritable hardship which makes the ma- manipulators in the congressionnl fight doubly wary, and the small fry legislative candidates,who cxpeeted to ride to power and glory on the same wave that deliv- ered the county to Paul, are standing with their backs against the wall, con- gratulating themselves that thus far they lave escaped drowning.

In regard to local legislative candidates a prominent citizen at the capital expre himself as hopeful that the day was hand when all the political pow: at Lancoln would not be trimmed into chan- nels to secure candidates for the sole and only purpose and qualification to be in for a big appropriation. The eity of Lincoln oughtto be large enough and the state institutions here well known enough to command all the support necessary for their honest maintenance without making the legislative fizht one for boodle for the state institutions, — If these principles as suggested were put into practical effeet, as the people here are capable of putting them; there would be a delegation in the next legislature from Lancaster that could do some good. HON. LEANDER GERRARD, of Columbus, prominently mentioned by many as a republican eandidate for gov- ernor, was in the eit y for a fow hours. Mr, onc of the ealy residents of Nebraska, and in_conve tion he can bring up many interesting reminisconces concerning” eavly polities in the state and he speaks largely as onc of the factors in the carly move: ments. Mr. Gerrard was in the Jast of the territorial days chairman of the re- publican convention ti met at Plot: mouth in the days of And¥ Jjohnson, when the great question before the con- vention wes one of statchood, and which ViSposition carried; latterly Mr Gerrard was a delegate to the national conven- tion that nominated Grant and he also oceupied a seat in the state senate in the seventies.

I'he railroad commussioners swere over- run with a piece of work that came to the from Madison county, where- in som party wanted a railroad cross where the company had neglected to put one in. If during the long siege of Au- gust days the commissioners can, by vir- tiwe of the vowers invested, compel the railroad eompany to expend eight or ten doflars in a crossing, it will be still another acenmulated mass of evidence upon which to seek endorsement of the fraud at coming state convention. Captain Washburn, of Norfolk, was at the state house yesterday nging to seeure the 200 tents belonging to the state for the soldiers' reunion at Norfolk, ich commences the 17th of the month.

The brother throws but little light on the m_l'ulur_\r. and did not know his brother was in this vicinity until he heard of his death. Th s ago the dead man left St. Louis with a hundred and tweunty dollars. He had been to Chicago and Minneapolis before reaching this place, and it is evi- dont that he could not have had but & small sum of money, if any, left, and cor- ulul‘y not enough to excite murder in the mind of any sane person. The St. Louis brother, now here, is very reticent re- ard] the case, and seems to acoept the theory of suicide, ing it pnrtl{ on the fact that there was a love aflair in which his brother was one of the parties. Sherift Melick is positive that the death was suicidal, and there it will eventually rest with a shadow still of mystery ever the surroundings.

Van Wyck's election will go down pretty hard’ with some of them, but we ean’t see any help for them but to swallow it, A Creditable Record. Wahoo Tribune: The Tribune finds much in Senator Van Wyck's record that is entitled to credit. He isan able leg- islator, fearless in_debate, and able to cope with the intellectual giants of the nation in the arena of debate in the halls of congr He is alive to the interests of the oring classes of the nation and awake to the demands of Nebraska.

Ashland Gazette: The old legi i ticket in this county would do well enoughproviding they will carry out the wishes of the majority. From ‘the best information we can get, the farmers of this county. or at least a large majority of them, favor the return of Senator Van Wyck, believing that he has been an able and fearless representative.

O'Neill Frontier: If the Omaha Re- publican could succeed in its attempt to driye Van Wyck aud his supporters out of the republican party, the succes s of the democratic party in the state of Ne- braska would be assured. Without the d of Van Wyck republicans the repub- lican party of this state would be minus a majority at the polls, It follows that the Omaha Republican, if successful in its said attompt, will simply defeat the party which it usually serves with a zeal and devotion almost menial. York Oounty's Preference. York s: The Van Wyck men com- prise four-fifths of the voters of the county. It would be the height of fol for them to elect & milk-and-water, now- you-see-it-and-now-you-dont-see-it man to the legislature.

Butler County Press: The Omaha Re- Ilubllmm Lincoln Journal, Hastings suzotte-dJournal, and & host of lesser lights are pledging themselves to suppo) a democrat rather than Van Wyck. Thare is nothing about their statements that particularly surprises us. Boss Stout, Pat O'Hawes. T.

If that crowd will name their favorite democratic can- didate, and talk to the farmers of Nebraska the things they talked in Lin- coln two years ago, four-fifths of the grangers would be in the mood to go gunoing for two legged game, An Organ's itidiculous Tune.

The Friend of the Toilers, Kearney Press: Senator Van Wyck is the "only man in the United States senate who has proven him- self to be the steadfast friend of the toiling masses of this country, and the only senator who has had the courage and manhood to lift his voice 1 favor of the wronged and almost beggared toilers of our republic.

Schuyler Sun: It there ever was a time in the mstory of the politics of Nebraska, when such republicans as the editor of the Omaha Republican and the Lincoln Journal could render service and show patroitism to their party, that time is now at hand. The democrats, not onl, of Nebraska, but the party in general are looking forward to the election of a United States,Senator from Nebraska in 1887, and t exvect to make every effort to secure that seat for a democrat and increase their their number in the senate. Not only do they hope to do this here, but in every state where a_vacancy occurs, The fight between Gere and and Van Wyck is entirely on Al grounds and noton_the course enator. If those gentleman wish to show their patroitism to the party, let them fall into line and return & repub- lican to the senate this winter, and pre- vent the democrats from obtaining con- trol of thut body. Let there be harmony. A Difference of Opinion, West Point Progress: Dr. Schwenk and L. C. Washburn, comruander of the G. A. R. post at Nortolk, were recently inter- viewed by the editor of the Niobrara Dem- 1t in regard to the senatorial situation. Schwenk said: “Van Wyek will be ly defeated, The ficld will combine against him and score un easy victory. Hitcheock and Padeock were both strong men in full sympathy with the republi- can party; had clean party records and active zealous support of the best po- al managers in the state, but were eated in re-election by the same com- bination_that is (u-d:a‘ opposing Van Wyck. Further, Van Wyck is hated and detested by the republicans everywhere. His record is simply damnable.”” Colonel Washburn, on the contrary, is an ardent supporter of the general. Said he: “My grluml, Dr. Sehwoenk, is prejudiced, **None are so blind as those who refuse to see.”’ I am an earnest, open stalwart supporter of General Van Wyck. He was a gallant soldier, is to- day one of the few men who dares to stand by the people in opposition to the encroachments of corporate influence and power. Northwestern Nebraska is aglow with enthusiasm for the gallant old soldier. Madison county will elect a Van Wyck delegation to the legislature without fail.” N The Railrqad Conspiracy.

Will you rest your case on the supposition that” the farmers are so ignorant that they cannot discriminate berween the language used by a senator to increase traflic aud build up and de- velope our state, and his lahors to con- trol and regulate that tratic, so that farmers are not prohibited from market- ing their produce by excessive rates? g —— Medical Testimony. 100 WEST 4076 STREET.

Influence of the Knights of Labor and the Prohibitionists, Charles Nordhoft*s Washington lotter to New York Horald: Whether the demo erats will lose the next house, whether they can gain & majority in the senate by this winter's elections and, whom the re publicans will nomimate for the deney are matters much debated here in congressional cloakrooms and in hotel parlors, Republ 18 are hopeful of car the presidency in 1888, but it is a curious fact that as they recover hope so they show an aversion to trying Mr. Biaine agam, I sha!l speak and work for Blaine, and as hard as I nid o prominent republican senator We are ol frionds, and if he is nominated I shall do all I can to elect him; but I hope we lall try some other man. L want the party to have & good chance of success and no needless obstacles, and I believe we should do better with sowme other man.” That is a very general opinion among prominent republican senators and rep- rosontatives, They do not express it publicly, but in ate conversation they do not coneeal that they are not favora- ble to nge up Mr. Blaine again, — And this opinion is uttered by men who are careful to say at the same time that they are porsonaily friendly to Mr. [ and believe in him. But they be that he would not be a good candidate for the party to win with. LOGAN AND THE FI 1f one inquires about othe he hears very little.

We should have to lose twenty- three seats to give the republicans the lhouse by even one vote. I don't sce where thoy are to gain so many from us. On the other hand [ think we ‘shall gain some from them. In the west there is a certain amount of dissatisfaction in our party, but so far ag Lcan learn it is not with us in congress, but with the admin- istrution. I don't mean about offices, for that goes for little or uolhqu. but on matters of policy. Butin my belief this will-—in the least—help us. ~ Our cople are with us and will stand by us. Besides that, the rank and file of the party want to see it have a tair chance, nd you'll find, I think, a full democratic vote east this fall. No, I don't see any reason for discouragement.” A rvepublican_congressman said:—*'T am not so sanguine of our carrying the next congress as some of our people are. We may gain four or five scats in Tennessee, Louisiana and one or two other southern states; we shall, I think, gain a seat or two in Ohio,one in Illinois, but we lose one or two there, too; and 1 should think we might guin a scatin Indiana, though it 18 not sure; and pofllbl{; three or four in the Aflantic states, but we shall lose a seat in Cali- formia, and on the whole my own belicf is that the democrats will carry the next lmn'se, though by a diminished major- ity.” y‘Y'])n you think the prohibitionists and the Knights of Labor will affect the re- sulty” ‘“Less than many think In Con- necticut and New' Jersey it is possible the prohibitionists may hurt us, and thus help the demo hear th: some southern states the prohibition move- ment is going to bring new men to the front, but they will be demoerats, 1 judge in any case. “As to the Knights of Labor, I think yow'll find they will not affect the eleetions except in some rare ease where one party or the other is s0 unlucky as to rul up a ' man whom they positively dis- ike. ‘They may take a hand in some state in electing members of leg ture, and in that way they may aflect some senatorial elections, but T don't believe they witl affect the congressional elec- tions. There will be a good many new men, but after all not more than in the present congress, where of 825 members only 185 were in the previous cougress,'” COUNTING THE CHANCES, “Dye made n pretty close examination of the matter,” said “another republican congressman, ‘‘and I don't see how we can earry the next house. Sece, here is the list of states; let us go ovor them to- gether and DIl show you,where 1 see changes probabie. Alabama and Arkan- sas are solidly democratic and will proo- ably remain 5o, In California we have five and the democrats one. They will, I think, gain one this tall. Colorado is re- publican and will remuin so. Connecti- cut is evenly divided. I doubt if we shull gain anything there, Delaware will remain demooratic. In Florida we may ain one, but I doubt it. Georgia will hange, Lllinois now stands ten to and I doubt if we shall change that. ndiana, 1 belisve, we shall in two seats. The canvas theve is going ‘o be very lively on our side, a8 Senator Har- rison has got to be re-elected, and he is going to make the fur fly, you'll see. The delegution now stands nine demoerats to four republicans, and there are some rather bad quarrels in the demoeraticic camp. » “In Iowa, ha continued, we may gain one—the delegation now stands seven republicans to four dewmocrats. But the Iowa democrats believe they and not we, will Emn. 1 do not think it sufe to count anything there. Kunsas is solid vepubli- can, and will remain 8o, and we shall not’ gain anytuing in Kentucky. We may gain one in Louisiana and We may losc one in Maine, where the canvass is going to be very severe, and the dewmo- crats are putting up for congress one or two strong men. Toere will be no changes in Maryland “or Massachusetts, But in Michigan the democrats arc badly broken up. The fight between the Dick inson wing of their FW" and the other side is bitter.

Twenty-two state legislatures will choose senators, In most of these the present pohtical complexion will remain unchanged, but in Connecticut, Indiana, Nevada, New Jo Now York and Ohio the result will depend upon the fall elections. Nevada, now yin, demo- cratic senator, will undoubted send a republican, That will halanco Virginia, in which a democeratic successor to Gen- 1 Mahone has already been chosen. Connectient and Virginia may send dem- ocrats. In New Jersey the prohibition movement may affect the legislatur | though with “the railrond influences favorable to the republicans the demo ts_ have uphill work, In Ohio and New York the democrats are more or less disorganized, and the republicans are likely to elect. Senator Don Cameron's view is always interesting, and the Philadelphia Times quotes him as saying, in reply to the ques- tion, *“The nominations are very impor- tant this yoar? 1 should think thoy were. We cleot a senator next winter, and if we don't the next senate may be democratic 1 tell you we are down to close guarters, We lost one senator in Virginia, and lose onc iu Indian 1 hope not. New York will be a close fight. Miller's term cxpires up there. 1 our tellows don’t look out we may lose one there. Conneetient is not a cer! can't tell wh may happen in Joersey.

On the whole this fall campaign has a goop many interesting features. PROF. CHS.
