Since that date the editor of the Journal has had no use for Van Wyck. It has fought him malignantly and bitterly. In the present campaign, bucked by the Burling- | ton road, 1t is using every dirty lie and slander which its hirelings can invent to throw obstacles in the path of the | senator 's reclection.

The lus- tory of this robbery of tho setclers by the ratlroads and the method by which the supreme conrt secured the plunder tothe railroad nssignees, is a thrice told tale, familiar to all Nebraska, Dur- ng the Tth, 48th and 49th congresses, Guneral . Van Wyck secured in the senato u bill to pay every settler or purchaser $3.50 per acre, which was the amount each had paid to M. Knevals, the assignee, after he had ob- tained iudgment. The bill passed the senate, but failed of & passage 1w the house. That was certaiuly not the fault of General Van Wyck. Last winter the Van Wyek bill finally passed the house, but so amended as to fail in securing justico to three-fourths of the owners of the lands in question, Me. Hollman, of Indiana, was the chief obstacle in the way of its pas sage as originally drafted. The amendments which he tacked to the bill provided that a seitler could only reccive $3.50 an acre for 160. In | cases where more was held or the claim- ant held his land by purchase only 1,25 | was to be ailowed uuder the Holiman | amendments.

Still, General Van Wyek, { who himself owned some of the | lauds, was wiling to aceept the Hollman amendment. But he was' overwhelmed with protests from claimpnts in Thayer, Nuckolls and | other counties urging on their account | that the senate should decline to adopt | th¢ Hollman amendmnents, and shou'd | 1usist upou his’ own' bill giving (o each ] 18 & half-sheet k's ‘“‘record” | members of | to s obligation THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, imant $3.50 an ‘acre, which had icen wrung from them by Knevals. -Mr Laird, who represents that district, joined hands with Senator Van Wyck in on rendments in man a ft whero a must act nthe n wl onfer two libuses I'that early upon t form ) push t to ellort to nded will g ¢ claimants have dem n Wy short noth Kneval sple diveetly interested 1o desire their interests a ! e man who conld be of no issstance to them, u Wyek has done and will con tinwie to do i in his power to serye th K's enemios W ton in vhile Vv m uld Giv No Assurance. ed to Senator Ed veral members of assembly, haif of « Vermont 4 whether port presi wlhit n as to of his sup for some ey o the republican ntin 184 candidate was eortainly tin view of the course of Mr. Edmunds two years ago not justifiable. ‘There was reason why these gentl en who de d of what Senator Edwnnds might be ex un SOMe wSSUranes | preted 1o do two years henee, in a na- tiomal campaign, should make such an inquiry. The country remembers yery well thatin tie lnst prosidential eampaign the voice of the Vermont senator was not heard in behalf of the party wiich had honored him, and to whieh he owed a great debt of obligation and atlegianco, and republicans know very well that this et was to a very serfous extent damag- ing to their canse. It is quite impossible to compute the whole extent ot this in- jury, but it cantot be donbted that had Mr. Fdmunds and a few others who were isgranticd with him applied themselves carnestly and zealonsly in behalf of the republican candidates, they would have been eapable controlling the few hundred republican votes by which the republican cause was lost in New York, and thereby continned the administration ot the government in the hands of the republican party. The s Vermont general assem sed the inguivy to Senator doubtless moved thercto that he is capable of repeating sulking course of two yo vo, if the republican eandidates of two years hence should happen not to be to lis personal liking, and they had undoubted right before voting to re- cleet Mr. Edmunds, to ask an assurance that he would be in all respeets faithful asa republican. s reply of Senator Edmunds ¢ regavded entirely frank It does not supply the nee that was asked for.

The afivetation of self- respect, as an excuse for withholding the assurance asked of him, is quite in the way of the Vermont senator, but it doesn’t earry conviction that he will be any safer two years hen certain contingency, than he was twe years ago. In short, there is nothing in the reply of Mr. Edmunds to the proper inquiry of the members of the Vermont general assembly that commits him surely to the support of the republican presidential candidates in 1838, and ) uncertain factor in the next nadonal contest he occupies an entively distinet position among recognized repyblican leaders, Where to Register.

The concluding sentences of this precious document are s follows “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the clectoral yote of the state by his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.”” (Signed) Chureh Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The demoerats did not respond to the call of the governor and there'was barely aquorum in the senate, while there were several to are 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 Sam 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 1ts height 1n Washington. Church Howe had ehanged places from the houso 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 received a jority of the elcctoral votes were en- to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lusted two davs. Church Howe askea to be excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused, On the al passage of the resolution the record 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 Wileox—20. Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinwan, Hoit, Church Howe and North —8. During the same session of the legislu- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the first three ballots is recorded as haying been cast for E. W.
