Mr. James E. Boyd, who inspires all that Dr. Mi hired man Morrissey, writes had the insolence to serve no- tice on the democeratio party that they want no support from the Bee in the vending congressional contest. Mr Boyd has dropved the mask a little pre- maturely. The democrats of this t have long been aware that mes K Boyd and Dr. Miller want no democrat braska unless his name is either George L, Mi ler or James E. Boyd They want no democrat in a position to influence the democratie administration in the matter of fedewal patronage. This is why Charles H. Brown was not elected two years ago. This is why these cratic dictators want to elect Howe in this campaign For Dr. Miller and his paper this will be 1o new role. E. K. Valentine owed his election to their influence, when he ran for a second term, and Jim Laird, another railrogue republican was helped into a seat in congroess four ars b by their effort in putting up a straw man to draw away democratic votes that would ave gone to 1 opponent. Church fowe relies confidently upon the sccret support of the same crowd. He is a man after Dr. Miller's own heart He represents all that is merchantable in polities, and is the choice of Jay Gould for the Van Wyck succession Now James E. Boyd knows,and so does his cat's paw in Dr. Miller's chair, that the Herald does not represent the democracy of Nebraska, and is utterly without in- fluence with the common people. Its impudent boast, that single handed and alone it ean defeat Church Howe, woulld be amusing it it were not suggestive and sinister. In the city of Omal the Bee delivers 5,200 dailies by thirty three carriers, the Zierald circulnte less than 900 by ten carriers, The weekly Herald, which is fraudu- lently advertised in the newspaper direc- tories as haying 11,000 circulation, pays only $1 per weck postage in the Omuha postoflice and does not reach 1,000 bonu fide subseribars, where the BEE pays postage on its weekly each week and cir- culates over 80,000 copies. So far as we are concerned we are not committed to fight Mr. McShane's battle and if Boyd, Miller & Morrissey are put in charge of the campaign, the Herald necd not fear any co-overation on our part. We ecan survive Church Howe in congress just as we have survived Valen- tine. If the treacherous and yenal crew that runs the Omaha Herald thinks it has the influence of whicl it boasts it may have a chance to test it in this campaign. The Bee will not support Howe under any circumstances but its editor has urgent bu st which may to congross demo: Church mpaign. The idiotic talk of a democratic United States senator which is coupled with the insolent and contemptible assault on the editor of this paper, will soon be dissi- pated. The republicans will elect the next United States senator whether his name be Van Wyck, Cobb. We: , or even Jita Lalrd, 18 Mr. Boyd Herald succeed in electing Church Howe itmay even be that ambitious fraud. One thing more; whenever Van Wyck out of the race, the BEE has no further mterest in the contest beyond desiring that an honest republican should repre- sent Nebraska in the senate. It has never songht patronage excepting from adver- tising patrons and 1ts only ambition is to represent the unbought and unbiased sentiment of the people. A Retired Chieftain. A few evenings ago a political organi- wation in Cincinnati calling itself the “Thurman Guards" paid its respects to the distingwished ex-senator and heard from him a brief address of thanks. s remarks testified to a hearty appre- ciation of the honor couferred upon him, and there was also in them n touch of pathos when the *‘old Roman,” having told his visitors that they were not wor- shipping a rising sun but rather doing homage to a setting sun, said, “I am fust traveling down the shady side and will soon be numbered with the past.” The salient point of the brief address, how- ever, the declaration of Judge man that he is out of politic: plied assurance that he is out for good. There have been men who continued actively in politics in this country at a greater age than that of Judge Thurman, and there are now several prominent statesmen of Europe as old as he who are actively engaged in politic It is more than iikely that he would be to-day in the political ha if hi ty in Ohio bad adequately appreciated” his worth, and had valued faithful and honor- able service more than the availability and influence which woney gives. It scomed havdly possible that a democratic administration could leave outof its councils a man so long eminent inthe party for his wisdom and his devotion to the cause of democracy as Judge Thurman, and 1t would not have done so hud not the party in his state fallen under the loadership of wholly selfish and unscrupolous men with whom it was impossible for this vetoran to afiiiliato, and whose methods were as obnoxious t him as they were to honest men. When the democratic party of Ohio survendered itself to the control of men who had the will and the means to corrupt legielatures and prostitute the ballot and who holdly and frecly fraud and bribery to effect thel had no further use for Thurman, What ever mistakes of judgment ho may have wmade, and there wore some in his politi- cul carcer, e was always upright and straightforward, 1herawas no trickery, no chicanery and no dishionorable schem- ing iu his political methods. T'he honors that came to him were not achieved b, fraud and correpuion, The pubhe po tions ha filled with distinguished credit to himsolf and advantsge to his party he did not buy. Al such methods he abhorred and condem Pructically, therefore, the retirement of Judge Thurman from politics was coeval with the degradation of the de wocruey of his state, uni for the party at largo it was one of the most serious con sequences of that degradation. It is not questionable that had the democratic party of Obio been faithful to this dis- tinguished leader, who had aiways been faithful Lo the party, sad st devouon to democragy, he would to duy be promineut and active in the paity’s councils, whare, it will not be doubted, bis wisdom, experience and prudence— qualities 8o greatly needed-would be vasty to the advantuge of the party. But the veleruu is ou the relired Lst, and THE OMAHA DAILY for all practieal service, save as he ma; from time to time utter words of encour- agement to his party, he is of no more use than the other leaders which it has within a little time lost—Hendricks, and Tilden, and Seymour., And who are left to woar the robos and wield the sceptro of those stalwartdefenders of democratic principles ¢ s there one worthy to be named in assooiation with them ? A Lesson in Civil The present postmaster at Philadelphia was appointed on partisan grounds, and he has demonstrated that no mistake wa made in giving due consideration to his partisanship. And this appears to be his only merit. In the matter of this individual, whose name is Harrity, appears to be a counterpart of the New York ex-collector, Hedden, while in his eagerness to replace republicans with democrats he is more than a rival of the Jultimore ex-postmaster, whose vigorous efforts in turning out the “republican ras- » without much regard to civil sery- s a hittle while o, t of oftioial inquiry and much o paper comment, It app his incumbency of less th Philadelphia postmaster has turned out about four hundred of the old clerks to make places for as many political favor- ites, and necessarily the result is most damaging to the service. According to the Philadelphia Record, a state of de- moralization prevails in the postoflice of that city, and the employes are unable, even by working extra time, to give to the publi vice that is worthy of the name The mails are delayed, the distribution is faulty, and errors are made in all the many w in apability simee which they are possible ina great post- ofii ho situation is of course a source of great annovance and trouble, and more or less injury also, to the busi- ness community, and it is probable that thesdepartment will be appealed to, although it is not easy to sec how any remedy can come from that quarter, sinco the postmaster general would hardly advise the restoration of the old force. In contrast with this state of affairs ref- erence i made to the New York and Boston postoflices, where no changes have been made except for cause, and where the sorvice goes on smoothly and uninterruptedly with the old force these cases a plain business principle has beon adhered to, which, if it were gener- ally regarded in the conduct of the public business, would render such expedients as so-culled civil service reform unneces- savy. And the postal service of the coun- try, more than any other, is the one in which this prineiple ought rigidly observed. There per- tem, nceuracy and promptness are d under all circumstances, and a lure of any ot these conditions leads to rapid demoralization and widespread annoyance and injury. Trained and ex- pericnced men are’ therefore indispen- suble in this service. Mr. Harrity has at- tested his democracy at a scrious cost to the public, and doubtless with no ad- vantage to his party. 1r Omaha Gver proposes to doanything towards increasing her railroad facilities now is the time to act There is an earn- est feeling among our jobbers and mer- chants that the only way in which they can secure fair treatmentin the trade ter- ritory to the northwest lies through the construction of a new road, with Omaha as its eastern terminus and controlled by Omaha capital and Omaha managers, The policy of self-interest on the part of railroads with terminals east of the Mis- sour forces them to steady discrimina- tions against the shippers of this eity. Competition through a line origin- ating in Omaha, tapping territory from which Omaha is excluded and bidding for local support by a broad and generous policy towards the peovle of the counties through which it runs seems to be the only remedy for the evif. Other cities have had the same expe- rience. Cincinnati, years ago, found her trade with the south seriously menaced by warring corporations whose interests lay in other commercial centers. The merchants of Cincinnati promptly took the bull by the horns and built the Cin- The result was the salvation of that city as the depot for southern supply. J.

Mr, Connell’s course has greatly strengthened him w th the republicans of the First dis- trict.

BEE: SATURDAY Keep It Before Republioans, The republicans of the First district should ask themselves whether a man having such a record as that of Church Howe has any rvightful claim upon the support of any decent republican. Leav ing out of question his corrupt methods and notorious venality we appeal to re publicans to pause and reflect before they put a premivm upon party trea son snd conspiracy against its very exist Ten years ago, when the republican party was on the verge of disa and every electoral yote cast for Hayes and Whceler was needed to retain the party in power, Church Howe od into a conspi to deliver republican Nebraska into the hands of the enemy This infamous plot is not a mere conjec ture. The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion It isnot to be pooh-poohed or brushed away by pro nouncing it one of Rosewater's malicious campaign slanders Tha records of the legislature of wh Church Howe w a member in contain the indelible proofs of the tr onable conspi y, and no denial stand against evidence furnished by his own pen, Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1 ebraska elected ickland, Amasa Cobb and Connor presidential clectors } 31,916 gainst a vote of 16 ast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the clection it discovarcd that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the latest, and the reguiar sion of the legislature did not begin until January, In order to make al canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, 76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The democratic effort to ¢ ture republican electoral votes is historic. Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the cloctors from Nebraska, and it 1s also historie that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The call of the legislature breke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will- ing and reckless tool i Church Howe. lature convened at the eapi- tal,Church Howe fled a protest which may be found on vages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 1877. The fol- lowingextract makes interesting reading: *1, Chnreh Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of ‘his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice dent of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying thiat the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the ente h Silas A, A vote of 308- st. This legislature now convened hay- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the vramises. the new constituti having been in force since November, 1575, The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follow. “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by this body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omaba and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sum Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the clectoral vote in spite of it, When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height i Washington. Church Howe had changed placés from the house to the senate. Early in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler hayving reccived a majority of th were en- titled to their se; resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days, Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused. On the final passage of the resolution the record [page 376, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following resutt: Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- fiold, Gilham, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilcox—20. Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holt, Church Howe and North —8, During the same session of the legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is 1 haying been cust for E, W. Thomas, a South Carolina democrat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be a repybliean independent, republican on national issues and a temperance granger on local issues, Wo Zme ask what right a man with sueh # record has to the support of any répulflican. Other Lands Than Ours. Parliament is to be vrgrogued with the end of the week.

During the recess Lord Salisbury and his fol- lowers will be free to ¢ out whatever schemes they may see fit “for the sufety of the empife,” quite unhampered by Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell, the home rule liberals, and the nationalist home rulers. The indications are that the tories will try coercion in lreland in the coming winter.

The military officers implicated are to be tried by conrt mar The ques- tion which promises to be an interesting on is whether capital punishment can be meted out to the offenders. The Russian government has sought to protect the conspirators who risked their lives in its eause by threatening to break off rela tions with Bulgaria if they are punished. The sobranje has insisted on bringing them to justice, although a mild sentence may be expected, not only from the ex- pression of the tamous telegram ot Prince Alexander to the Czar, implving his de- pendence on the latter’s favor, but from the folly of exasperating Russia by ex- cessive severity toward those who had sought to do her service. Russia’s unwillingness, have the revolutionists tried at all, except to be acquitted or pardoned, brings a strain upon her relations wi Bu i The government has been ar sentiment to insist on v to preserve disci- pline in her army by punishing so overt an aet of treason as that of the faithless rs at Sofl It is oxtraovdinary that an act, the attempt of subjects against the occupant of the throne, should find a defender in the Romanofls, of all sovereig, but Russian diplon does not stick at logie, and the r's anger at the prince of Battenberg permits him to rejoice at his overthrow by means that might empty many a throne.

France desires to recover its lost influence in Egypt, and the report now comes that that country, with Ger- many and Russia, will issuc a joint note demanding that England fi term for its occupation of Egypt. France alone has a real inter m getting Eng- Jand out. Russia is concerned only in the sense that it will gain by vthing which promises to lessen Britain's power and prestige. Germany cannot haye the shghtest political interest in England's ations to the Khedive's domains, Its concert with France and Russia in sucha scheme as this, therefore, would turnish good ground for the belief that the report of the offensive and def alliance between Germany and F s founded on fact. Russia’s promises have always been good until she got a chance to break them. She promised the Bulgarians that she would not interfere with their affairs provided that Prince Alexander would abdicate. She has now sent General Kaulbia as a special agent to Bulgaria to put a stop to the “‘disorganizing ten- dency" in the Sofin assembly. It will not be diflicult for the new agent to stir up a row or to find some pretext by which Rnssin may occupy that province. *, wte England’s troubles are by no means di- shed by the hostile demonstrations le by the Arabs in the Soudan.
