Tar leading anti-Van Wyck organs were rather hilarious for several days be- cause Plattsmouth, in Cass county, gave —as falsely stated olid dels against Van Wyck. These journals truthfully said that Cass county was one of Van Wyck's strongholds. So it has been and go itis to-day. It isso strong for Van Wyek that it will overcome the Plattsmouth delegation and give a sure working majority for Van Wyek in the convention noxt Saturday. And so the procession moves on, showing that the great mass of Nebraska republicans en- dorse Van Wyck's republicanism. ‘T'nir: sppeal of General Fairchild to the Grand Army of the Republic for sub- soriptions to aid the Charleston earth- quako sufferers, shows not only that there is urgent demand for such aid, but that o large sum will yot be required to rolicve she necessities of the sufferers and prevent the more serious torms of priva- tion and hardship. The liberality of the poople of the country must therefore be still further extended, and it will very likely be months before charitable in this dircotion can stop.

After all the bombast and boasts of Miles that he would wind up the Apuche campaign ismissing the Indian scouts and em ying only regular soldiers, it turns out that Lieutenant Gatewood's Indian scouts of ptain Lawton's command, ailed the hostiles to their lair and brought the Indians mto camp. Inan interview from Painted Cave, Texas ptain Lawton told the story of the twenty-six weeks' chase con- ducted on the exuact lines f Crook's policy of unwearying pursuit by native trailers and frequent skirmishes, followed by renewed use, but there is nothimg about helio- aphs and complicated signaling, dis- trust of the Indian contingents or a rc versal of previous methods. \ptain Lawton, who is one of the brav .( and blest of Indian fighters, knew 1s soldier of experience in Arizona that there was only one policy to pursue in tracking the hostiles, and that that the poliey which had been originated and carried out by George Crook during his three years' struggle with the Arizona Apaches. It was this sort of campaigning which won. With the path safely marked out forthem and with officers and scouts thoroughly trained under Crook, nerai Miles took up the pursmt where Crook left 1t off, and earried it out to a successful termination. Both officers rve all the credit they likely to bo nfor the close of the Apache war, But it is the height of folly for the fool friends of General Miles to attempt to build up still higher the reputation of that able oflicer by detracting from the well-earned-laurels of General Crook. » to Crook’s That Oleomarearir One of the smallest pieces of business in the anti-Van Wyck eampaign is the charge-being made by several of the rai rogue organs that the senator “dodge a vote on the oleomargarine bill. Sens tor Van Wyck was one of the most ardent supporters of the measure. It was owing to his shrewd strategy -t the bill when it came from the house not pigeonholed in a committee room unfriendly to the duiry intercsts. He both spoke and worked for the bill dur- ingitsprogress in the senate, and stood on the record fully committed to its details. On the final passage he was unable to cast his vote, being paired with Senator Fair who was absent in Nevada. This is the basis upon which the scullions of the railroad organs are building up the churge of Van Wyck dodging the oleo aring bill, The senator is the t man against whom such a charge will From the opening days of I term he has been the steady and unfline ing friend of the farmers of the west, always ready and willing to champion their interests, watchful and active in defending them, and wrning o deaf ear to the insinuations of the corporation lobby. The boodle gang are hard up for cam- paign material when they trump up such a charge as the olcomargarine vote to injure General Van Wyel Looking to New York. Tt was generally understood when Mr, Cleveland displaced Hedden as collector of the port of New York, and 1gnoring the democratic politicians of that city appointed his successor from Ogdens- burgh, that the action had reference to strengthening the president’s hold in the Empirestate. There ean be no questi that it bad become weak and was stead- ily growing weaker. The favor which the presiden t had shown to the mug- wumps, first i the reappoinument of Poarson us postmaster and then in the purtial concession to them involved in the appointment of Hedden, together with the porsistence of this element in agsuming to have a commanding influ- enee With the president, had created a wide and deep-seatoa displeasure among democrats of all fuctions, This was very clearly denoted 1n the convention which nominated Hill for governor, it has been shown in the treatment of the adminis- i by the leading demooratio pay Yorlk, und it has been manifested v ways, notably in the cold recep- tion given to the letter of the president Dby tho Twmmany society at its Fourth of July celebration, in spicuous contrast to the hearty greeting with which thie more shrewdly worded lottor of Governor Hill was reosived, ac- companicd with exclamations of “He's the man for president.” Governor Hill took the largest possible advantage of this spirit of disscusion, most con-, | to his own liking with ' would starwarts | | wipes were laid in | than two months ago a N and unquestionably contributed, so far ns was safe and practicable, to its growth.

It v stroke of policy to help this on by try ferring the collectorship from an avowed supporter of the governor’s ambition to an equally earnest friend of the president, and Mr. Magone went trom Ogdensburg to take care of the interests of Mr. Cleve land in New York, This was the begin- ning of an obyious purpose on the part of the president to counteract, and if pos- sible overtnrow, the Hill influence in New York polities, anid 1t is now said to be the intention of Mr. Cleveland to continue this task, using the patronage at his con mand outside of his own state for the ben- cfit of his New York supporters. He will require, so it is stated, not only that those who receive public office in New York shall e Cleveland democrats, but New Yorkers of this stripe will be preferredin the general distribution of patronage, where they are eligible. In short, the president proposes hereafter to take care of his own, and since it is in his own po- liveal houschold that he most to fear, it is not ineredible that he should have determined to employ the hest of all means for sceuring the support of the members of that houschold liberal ribution of the spoils. Such & policy with respect to New York, judiciously pursued so that all the factions could be satisticd, or at least fairly recognized, would give Mr. Cleveland a decided ad- vantage over Mr. Hill—an advantage sured by the relative difference in amount of the patronage controlled by each.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1876 Nebraska elected Silas Al Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. M. Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,916 as against a vote of 16,954 cast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the election 1t was dis covered that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then ex isting law before the legislature con- vened. The electoral vote had to be ean- vassed in December at the latest, and the regular session of the legislature did not begin until Jan In order to make a legal eanvass of the clectoral returns Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of Dec '76, at Lincoln, for the pur. pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The democratic effort to cap. ture republican elcctoral votess historic, Tilden's friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of of the electors from Ne and it is also historic that a large bribe was offered to one of the S Stricklund. The call of slature broke mto the plan of the plotters, and they found a willing and reckless tool in Church Howe. When the legislature convened the capital, Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7 and 8 of the Ne braska House Journal for 1877. The fol- lowing extract n <Losmh-|«flmw|u ding “I.

The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omaha and Howe nad the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legis ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and can ed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened m Jan uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early m the session, a resolution was ntroduced expressing the conviction on_the part of the senate that Wl Wheeler having rec 1a majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very ely debate whic iasted two days, Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first id was so exen: On the age of the resolution the record [page 376, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following result: Yeas—Ambrose, d, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, rns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilham, Hayes, Keonard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyek, Walton and Wilcox—20. “Those voting in the negative wore: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holy, Church Howe and North--8.

A few years ago, when Herbert Spen- cer, the English philosopher, preached what he called the gospel of relaxation— which was in realiiy a plea for the American people to indulge in mental and physical rest to a greater degree than they haa fermerly been doing, it was afterwards objected that his views on the subject could not be considered of much cousequence, as he himself had been ordered by his physician to take the very course which he advised others to adopt.
