There was 00 necessity for a tie-up so unnatural, because alarge number of the republican counties had already expressed themselves in my favor. By the action of the Otoe delegation Lam placed in a false position which 1 feel it my duty to correet. Yours truly, IL VAN Wyck, P.S. Iauthorizeyou to deny most em- phatically that 1 ever pledged Church Howe the support of Otoe county either at Wash- ington or at any other place, and you are at liberty to deny as a base falsehood any statement that I made or countenanced, direetly or indireetly, any tie-up with Church C. H. VAN Wyc d men this candid, positive and unequivoeal statement will exone Van Wyck from any charges of aith towards his friends and supporters as regards the nomina- tion of Church Howe. But nobody can hold him entirely free from blame for his neglect. 1t was manifestly his business to see to it in person that the delegates from Otoe would work in harmony with his friends agamst a notorious raseal and trickster. The false position into which he has been drawn by Paul Schminke's conduct has seriously demoralized the rank and file of Van Wyck men in this district and all over the state. It has put the sena- tor on the defensive when the enemy was breaking and on the run. It has jeopardized the legislative tickets in Douglas and in other eounties in the dis trict. The senator has cleared his skirts from collusion with the attempt to foist the Nemaha lizzard into a seat in con- gress, but his canvass has received a backset which it will take hard work to retrieve. One thing is to be expected. Church Howe will now assert, as the impudent liar has so often msserted, that Van Wyck was bound up with his political for- tunes, and he may flatly contradict the senator’s indignant denisl that he ever pledged him any delegation from Otoe county. When it comes to a ques- tion of veracity and honor between Van Wyck and Church Howe the people will not take long to decide whose word is most worthy of belief. For our part we would not believe Church Howe if he swore on & stack of bibles. A man who is reputed to be a common cheat, bribe- taker and swindler will not regard per- jury as a very serious offense when it 18 committed to further his ambition. nies, General Logan at Piutsburg. The speech of General Logan delivered Pittsburg yesterday will be found in {full in another part of this paper. We believe the heartiest admirer of the gen- eral will not claim for him that he i either an orator or a rhetorician, The characteristic of his specches is not bril- liancy or political philosophy, but the statement of facts —historical facts—with the expression of opinion in plain, blunt and generally a more or less vigorous arraigument of the demoeracy. The speech to which we now refer is mainly of this type, constructed with particular reference to & Pennsylyania audience. To any one who is not familiar with the history of tariff legislation, from the beginning of the government down to the last effort of Mr. Randall, this apeech of General Logan will be found stractive aud entertaining. 1t deals almost wholly with this subject, and as an historieal narrative is accurate, We take it, however, that most of those who heard the speech must have received it as an oft-told tale, for theve aro fow people in Pennsylvama with suflicient interest in a political address to listen to it, and enough intelligence to compre- hend it, who do not kuow the nistory of the tariff as perfectly as they do the al- phabet. We are consequently disposed to doubt somewhat whether this effort of General Logan, whick implies that the tarift is the one commanding question in the Keystoue state at this tine, is likely to prove s very valuable republican cam- | | when he constructed stprotest that was | paign document, and there is the greater reason for this doubt when it is remem bered that the democratic platform, framed as to the tarfl’ plank at least by Mr. Randall, commits the party to an entirely friendly attitude toward the ex isting tariff policy Really there cannot be said to bo any issue between the two parties in that state on this question, and therefore the speech of General Logan, if intended solely to influence the Pennsyl va campa must be regar 1 as for the most part a waste of words, 1t 1s not improbable, that the general had in mind a extended audience his addre and in view of the provinencejwhich Mr, Blame had o recently given to the tariff ques tion deemed 1t well to show that he is not exceeded by the Mame statesman in devo. tion to the protective policy. Having done this quite it may be expected if General Logan is to do any further talking in the Pennsylvania campaign he will give the people of that commonwealth the benelit of his opinion some of the really live and important questions which ought to er their attention, and which he can doubtless casily demon- strate to them would better be left to republican than democratic treatment There is a good deal expected of General Logan at this time, and it 18 questionable whether speeches of the character and quality of the one we arve considering will fully meet the popular expeetation, 0ld Out for Bood!

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is aston- ishing the good people of England as much by his methods of hunting the almighty dollar as by his sensational pulpit performances. There was at first a series of mild remonstrances from the non-conformist press at the siangy phrases which the great preacher injected into his sermons, the bits of witty com- parisons and the chunks of humorous wisdom. English non-conformity is nothing if not solemn and decorous, out- side, perhaps, of Mr. Spurgeon's London congregation, and the spec- tacle of straight-laced deacons and dignified elders joining in bursts of laughter during service was something quite appalling to the cditors of the re- ligious press and church attendants whose sense of Sunday propriety con- quered their appreciation of week day humor, Mr. Beecher’s pulpit peculiarities might have been borne perhaps without any rancorous criticism. There were none who denied the power of his oratory, the beauty of his language or the force of his illustration. The subject matter itself of lus sermons seems to have given general satisfaction. But the conduct of My, Beecher's business manager is exciting general indignation. jor Pond, whose bread and butter has depended for years on what he can make out of Mr. Beecher, has been weating the vublic as if he were the manager of a theatrical attraction. Not content with charging unusually high prices for tickets of admission to Mr. Beecher's secular lectures he has put up the pri of the great preacher’s Sunday sermon to a pretty stiff pitel at the churches in which he appears distribute printed tickets of admission “on the understand- ing" that every ticket holder “shall con- tribute not less than two shillings to the cellection to meet the heavy expenses meurred by the management.” Mr. Beecheris evidently making hay while the sun shines. Lecturing at a dollar a head on week days and preach- ingat fifty cents & sitting on Sundays ought to go far towards reimbursing him for the expenses of Lis ocean trip. But it must seem strange 1o hear the white headed old pulpit veteran give out the hymn of “I'm Glad Salvation’s Free” while the congregation are fumbling in their pockets for the odd two shillings and Major Pond sitsin the pastor’s study checking up the returns and counting the tickets with the sexton r—— Tue railroad managers east have held & mecting to consider the subject ot rais- ing rates from Chicago east in advance of the close of navigation, and the coal maguaies of New York haye beld a ses- MAHA DAILY BEE: | supply, they for antumn winter.

This infamous plot is not a mere conjec- ture. The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion. It is not bo pooh-poohed brushed away by pro nouncing it one of Rosewater's malicious campaign slanders The records of the legislature of which Church Howe was a member in *76 contain the indelible proofs of the treas onable conspiracy, and no denial ecan stand against evidence furnished by his Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1876 Nebraska elected Sil AL Steickland, Amasa Cobb and H. Connor presidential electors by a vote of inst a vote of 16,954 cast for 1 and Hendricks electors. After the election it w. that the ranvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before t 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 rye In or¢ to make alegal canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, 36, at Lincoln, for the pur- nvassing the clectoral vote of the state, . The democratic effort to cap ture republican electoral votes is historic. Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the canture of one of the electors from Nebraska, and it 1s also historie that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, Gene Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will ing and reckless tool m Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the eapi- \Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on 56, 7Tand 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 18 The fol lowing extract makes interesting reading *1, Chnreh Howe, a ture of Nebraska, now convened by procl mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote east i Ne- braska for electors for president and vice president of the United States, hereby enter solemn protest against such act, denying tat the zovernor has power to call this body in special session for any sueh purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such vote upon the following grounds: First. This legi e now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known ¢ old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the sf having been m force since November, 187 The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewl lengthy. The concluding this precious document ar “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 quorum in the senate, while there were seyeral 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 Omaka and > had the glory of being the sole ampion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at 1ts height m Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the housa to the senate. Early in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying reccived a majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their seats, This resolution ve rise to a very lively debate which ted 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 resuit: Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, 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 scssion of the legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United states senator for the first three ballots is recorded as haying been cast for E, W, Thomas, a South Carolina democrat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican independent, republican on national issues and a temperance granger on local issues.
