The people of Nebraska have learned in the last few weeks that the railroads have not yet gone out of politics. The sway of the Burlington road in the South Platte eountry is if anything more s than any which has disgraced It reaches into every county and msinuates its pollating influence in primary and convention, It is becoming more clear every day that it proposes this fall to rule or ruin the re publican party of Nebraska by foisting its pliant tools and henelimen ¢ to tarther its own schemes of cor Ivancement attempt of railrond corporations to dictate the political action of their em pioyes is the most odious form of oppres- sion,” tritely remarks the Missouri R publican, which goes on to note that evi imperic this state and village upon our dence continues to accumuiate that it is systematically practiced by the Gould roads aod their Southwestern allies. Lieutenant Goyernor Gibbs of Texas pro- tested against the tyranny and arbitrary “contempt’’ decisions of the federal courts, Railrond employes who worked for him in his canvass against Wellborn have been discharged ‘in Texas, just as employes who worked for Heard and re- fused to vote under railroad strue- tions were discharged in the Sixth congressicnal distriet of Missouri. The effect of the southwestern strike has been to make the railroads more determined than ever to control polities in the congressional and legislative districts. There is good reason to belicve that they are co-operat- ing to that end ona definite and prear- ranged plan. No law can be passed to check the evil of ilroad dictation in politics, and none is needed, The remedy is always at hand. Neither the railroad nor railroad candidate is bound by party allegiance or party principle and they snould not be allowed to use party as an instrument of furthering It is not hard to find who the railroad candidate is, and it is not hard to defeat him. ‘The way to do it is to vote against hini. their own design A Representative Scandinavian, The Seandinavian voters of Nebraska are strongly urging upon republicans the name of Mr. Nils Anderson, of Fillmore , as a candidate for secretary of i claims as th aims clement of the party for political recognition. Mr. Anderson is a farmer of experience, a man of excel- lent edueation, and a successful business man. He is the chosen representative of a nationality whose unflinching fidelity to republicanism has been unequatled in the political lustory of the countr In Nebraska alone the Scandinavians cast 20,000 votes at the last election, of which it is safe to say not more than 2 per cent were thrown for demoeratic nominees. In every county in the state where they are a large element in the voting population the heavy republican majoriti ttest their fealty to the party. When it is considered that up to the present time the Scandinavian voters have never been represcnted upon the state ticket the justice of their claim for a recognition which means something more than empty honors becomes appar- ent. Mr. Anderson is being strongly urged by his friends agamst his wishes to become a representative of his people in his candidacy, and his nomination by the state convention would be so re- garded throughout the state. An Interesting Situation, The independent political action of the labor organizations of New York city has thrown the democratic factions into a state of anxiety bordering on dismay, and the managers are said to be sedu- lously seeking some plan to avert threat- ened defeat. The Tammany faction is particularly exercised over the situation. That is the element which embraces the rank and file of the party, in contradis- tinetion to the more aristocratic county demoeracy, While it has always been the policy of the former to cater for the yote of the working class, and under the rule of Tweed and Kelly to use all the influence and patronage of the organi: tion to hold the support of labor by de ing generously with it, the county democ oy have shown far less concern for the kingmen in practice, although of se professing an interest in their wel All tie traditions of Tammany have given that political society a claim upon the favor of the common people, and its shrewd leaders down to John lly have kept it in the line of those tra- ditions and carefully fostered its hold on the friendship of the luboring masses. Conscquently the independ- ont politieal action of the labor orgainzations, in nominating Henry George as their candidate for mavyor is a much more serious menace to the politi- cnl power of Tammany democraey than it is to the county wing of the party, al- though in the danger to the whole party involved in this movement all factions ure interosted to a greater or less degree. The alarm of the Tammany managers is illustrated in the reported fact that they aro secking a coahtion with the county democracy in which they do not appear to be receiving very great encour- agement. The umion of these factions would be about as incongruous as any political combination conceivable. They have been for years actively, and at many times bitterly, hostile to each other, not oniy a5 to all local and state, but to some extent also n naticnal contests. To be the friend of one fuction was inevitably to be the enemy of the other, and neither has been disposed to tolerate a divided allogianee, It is possible that in the present oxigency in order to avert if possible a complete party defeat, these organizations may be able to put aside their antagonisms and agree upon a basis of temporary union, but obviously the promise for such an arrange- ment cannot be regarded as under the circumstances flattering. There would be very great difficulty in making & sat- isfactory division of the speils. If Tam- many, as stated, has made the first ad- vanee for a ecoulition, thereby acknowl edging its greater alarm, the county de- mocracy will naturally demand (ne larger share in the division, To make such a concession might be fatal to Tam- many in the future, and it will theretore be firmly resisted. There are clearly here the conditions for an 1ssue that might render efforts at union futile. Meanwhile the managers of the luior movement Lave entered upon their cam- paign with notable earnestness and vigor, It will be remembered that Lenry George made Wis aceeptance of the nomination conditional upou u pledge that he would receive not less tbum toirty thousand THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: votes, and it is presumed that the com mittee appointed (o canvass among the workingmen was enabled to pledge him that support at least. Two-thirds of whatever vote he shall get will be sub. tracted from the democratic column, and if more than thirty thousand democratic defeat would secem to be certain even if the proposed coalition is effected In this view of the situation the prospect of republican sue- assumes o decidededly hopeful as: peet, and the leaders are said to regard the outlook with great confidence. The talk of a deal between Tammany and the republicans is of course absurd. It would e an unpardonable blunder on the part of the republicans to make any combins tion with either of the democratic fac tions, They should, and undoubtedly will, put a full ticket in the field. The feeling in the party was expressed a fow days ago by a member of the republican county committee, who said: *“We have a Detter prospeet than we ever had betore. 1here will certainly be two democratic tickets in the field, possibly an indepen- dent citizens' ticket, and one or two labor tickets. If we ean not win in such a contest we had better retire perma- nently and shut up the shop.” A repub- lican victory in New York city this year would be an event of no small signif cance, and it is extromely probable if the managers are wise in the selection of ididates and the harmony which now ails in the party is maintained, He May Be Defented. The defeat of Samuel J. Randall for congress 1s a consummation devoutly to be wished. There seems to be something more than a possibility of its being ac- complished. There isa very considera- ble democratic opposition to him in his distriet, both on account of his tariff yiews, and his dogmatic and arbitrary course in and out of congress. The whole responsibility for the failure of revenue reform legislation in the house rests upon him, while his obstructive tac- ties in congress and s bossism in state polities have rendered him more than ever obnoxions to a very large element of the democracy that is strongly repre- sented in his congressional district. It is smid to be the poliey of the republics of the district to await the materiali tion of the democratic opposition Randall before if it becomes as formidable as is now promised the republicans will have more than a fighting chance of clecting their man. There are many democrats in all parts of the country who would welcome such a result. These are the men, some of them prominent in the councils of the party, who have no faith in Randall's democracy, or at least behieve that his influence in the party is inimical to its welfure. How general this feeling is was shown by the deliberate effort made to curtail his power by the present house in radically changing the rules. Randall, whose superior liamentary skiil and shrewdness must be conceded, found an casy way to circumvent the plan of his opponents, and was entirely successful i shaping the course of legislation ac- cording to his wish. ‘I'here was reported to have been o conference among prom- ment democrats of the house immedi- atel ter adjournment with a view to cess to uning candidate, and cffecting further changes in the rules having reference to an_abridgement of the power of Mr. Randall as the chair- man of the appropriation committee, and itis not improbable that another effort will be made to do this. The case of Mr. Randall, however, needs heroic treatment and the persons to most effec- tively admmister this are the demoeratic voters of his district who are dissatisfied with his rule or ruin policy. A Strange Alliance, There are renewed reports of the ru- mored alliance of ¥rance and Germany. To the publie at large such a report must scem ineredible. Since Sedan, the most bitter hatred has existed between the two governments. Time and again the strained relations between the two coun- tries have been on the verge ot breaking, The policy of revenge so violently urged by Gambetta against everything German has become ingrained as a sentiment m the breast of hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen longing to retrieve the dis- asters of 1871. But both France and Germany have recently been seized with the colonizing fever and there is reason to Dbelieve that the late negotian- tions .reported have been made with aview towards ting each other mn these schemes. ance wants to secure its former prestige and influence in Egypt, which aspirations England natur- ally does not look on with favor. France bas nterests on the Mediterrancan which, with Germany’s aid, would be made secure against all demonstrations, Germany is steadily adding to its con- quests on the African coast, in a region which England nitherto has looked upon as belonging to the British erown by a sort of patent received from on high. The Iron Chancellor and the Kaiser are not usually impressed very strongly by such claims, unless backed by bayonets, and in the past two years have seized several such unconsider trifles as islands. peninsulas and strips of const on which no power strong enough to hold it ap- peared in sight. Frauce could aid Ger- many in these enterprises, and both would, in a eertain sense, be the gamers, It Will Not Stick, The disgruntled elique which have all along sought to prevent the building of the city hall on upper Farnam steeet are still at work. THey have hired a cheap lawyer w get up papers to support an applieation for an injunetion upon the board of education prohibiting the board from paying over the $20,000 which was voted last spring towards the erection of the city hall. It is not at all likely that such an injunction will stick. In the first place, the law grants the board of edueation full authority to erect sehool houses and buildings for its own use. The contract made between the board of education and the city for the joint use of the city hall is in conformity to the law. That contract has been made a matter of record in the eounty clerk’s office, aud the contruct becomes in the nature of a deed. The first $5,000 of the purchuse money toward the joint ownership was voted by the board in the winter and a part of it has been paud out of the treasury for grading the lot. The voters of this scliool district, comprising the city of Omaha, have directed and authorized the board, at an election last fall, to expend $25,000 for the permunent use of & portion of the city hall by the board of education. The cus council bus made & levy of » sckool \ TUESDAY. tax to cover this draft apon the board and aresolution is on the records of the board directing the treastter ‘to pay over from time to time, the amount set apart If the contract between the board and w8 legal, the eourts will r.ot set A part of the contract hay ed it is rather late in the ssail its validity, Asto the contract itself it was only entered into after being submitted to and approved by the highest legal talent in Omaha. * In any event, the contraet between the city of Omaha and Mr. Regan will stand and the building will go on whether the board of edueation is enjoined or not.

The republican brother bed as the more thoughtful of the two, and while his speeches make llent impres- sion for theiv judicious treatment of the questions diseussed, they are less popular than those of the democratic brother, which are spiced with wit and ancedote. But as a combination the brother candi- dates are proving an immense attraction, and wherever they appear the peopie turn the oceasion into a holiday which both republicans and democrats equally enjoy. It is an altogether unique and jolly campaign. As AN executioner the new public printer has casily broken all previous records.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democrac; s follows: In 1876 Ncebraska elected Silas A, Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A, . Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,916 a8 against a vote of 16,054 cust for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the clection it w: covared that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. ‘The clectoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the latest, and the regular ses- sion of the legislature did not begin until Januar In order to make a legal eanvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on the sth of December, '76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The democeratic effort to cap- ture republican electoral votes is histos Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Nebraska, and it 1s also historic that was offered to one of the electors ral Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will- ing and reckless tool i Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the eapi- al,Church Howe flled a protest which may ay by pro- osewater's mulicious be found on pages 6, Tand 8 of the Ne- The fol- braska House Journal of 18 lowing extract makes interesting *1, Chnreh 1owe, a member of the legisl ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and claring the result of the vote cast in Ne- for president and vice dent of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that 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 following grounds: First.
