GLADSTONE: was dauntiess when assailed by the hosts of conservatism, but he was easily vanguished by the charge of u swarm of wasps. There are circum- stances in which a tough hide is more valuablo thun the gifts of statesmanship. —— MAvricious opponents of Mr. Hibbard are circulating rumors that he is not op- posed to prohibition. Mr. Hibbard au- thorizes us to say that he is opposed first, last and ali the time to the submission o f a prohibitory amendment, and that he endorses and stands firmly upon the plat- form of the Douglas county republican convention, — Georare Hermron will poll a tremen- dous vote. No more popular name is on the republican ticket. Closely identified with a number of Omaha enterprises, generous, able, benevolent and of un- questioned bility and integrity, George Heimrod will come to the front noxt Tuoesday with the best of the candidates with a rousing majority. A New YoRk paper discusses the char- aocter of the congressional delegation from that city, and does not present a flattering opinion of the men who ara now representing the com- mercial metropoiis of the country in congress, or those who will probably su them, With the exception of Mr. Howitt there is not one of the present New York City oon- gressional delegation who is above mediocrity, and the majority are among the weakest men in congress. They are mere ward pol ticians, with a poverty of both capacity and acquirements, and exert no influence beyond their votes. Of those who will probably represent the city in the next congress, only 8, 8. Cox has any expericnce or known ability in legislative duties, and it is suggestad that in consequence of the somewhat changed condition of things within the past two years even he may be less successful in the future than he was in the past. Our New York contemporary justly regards the fact of the vast interests of that city being reprekented by such men as deplor- able, and remarks simply that it is “a great mystery.! The explanation is doubtless to be found in the failure of the business meu of New Yord to adequately eoncern themselves respecting the char- acter and gualitioatious of the men nom- inated to represent them, leaving the whole matter of selection ard election to the politiclins. This is too much the case in every large community, and is a wis- take whiok business men ought to seo and remedy. Spe ‘ifilc Oharges. Church Howe has made a general de- nial of every charge brought againat him, but up to this hour he has failed to disprove any of them. These charges are not mere rumors, but we have made them specific. 1. That as quartermaster of the Fif teenth Massachusetts regiment he made the party from whom he purchased the band instruments pay him a commission, from which he realize ral hundred dollars. Evidence of this 1s now on in the Massachusetts state house in the form of a letter addressed by Howe to Governor Andrew, beggiog not to be removed on account of this little spec- ulation 9. As a mannfactarer at Holden, Mass,, Church Howe failed, defrauding his ereditors, none of whom, it is thought, ever got a cent 3. In 1866 Church Howe Johnsonized and was appointed internal revenue col- lector for the Worcester district in Mass. achusetts. He at once began a system atie persccution of manufacturers and realized many thousands of dollars from moi 4. It is the prevailing belief at Worces ter, Mass., that Church Howe stole the will of his father-in law and destroyed it. This will is said to have left property to lis wife in such a way that he could not control it 5. In 1868 he was appowted United \\ ates marshal for Wyoming by Presi- dent Johnson, and as such carried on systen raids on citizens of the terri- tory until he was politely requested to vacate by General Grant 6. That Church Howe, in 187 queraded as a friend of the farmers, joined the grange, played upon the con- fidence of the grangers, had himself elected grand master of the state grange, sold out'to the railroads and broke up the organization, 7. That Church Howe, in 1875, member of the state legislature, roc $3,000 for his influence and vote for Nelse Patrick, a democratic candidate for United States senator, whom he sup- ported with his vote, as proved by- legis- lative record. 8. That Church Howe has time and, aguin used his position asa member of the legislature for levying blackmail and securing bribes. Instance the fact that in 1881, he introduced a stringent prohibi- tion bill, and compelled the brewers and liquor dealers to raise a large fund for his benelit. More than one thousand dol- lars was placed in the hands of Howe's confidential agent by P. E. Iler, head of the Willow Springs distillery of Omaha. “In 1883 Howe made very handsome “stakes'’ out of the relicf bills passed by the legislature. He received $200 trom J. W. Pearman and $500 from the Ne- braska City National bank. 9. In 1885 Churci Howe introduced a bill to make gambling a felony and a fund of over $1,200 was rmised by the s of Omuha and Lincoln and placed in the hands of Charles H. Greene, attorney for the B. & M. railroad, to make Church Howe “let up.” After this boodle had been rai: for Howe, he lost all interest in the anti-gambling hill. 10. We publish the affidavit of a tormer agent of the Missouri Pacitic at Auburn, by which it isshown thht Church Howe, under pretense of assisting the farmers and shippers of Nemaha county, secured a rebate of $10 per car load on stock, and swindied them out of $5 on each car load. file Douglas Republicans and Prohibition, The republican ticket in Douglas county should not lose a single vote of those who eppose prohibition, Every candidate on the ticket stands firmly on platform which endorses the high license law. Every nominee of the convention is pledged to work and vote against the submission of a prohibitory amendment. The names presented to the public for their endorsement are the names of men whose word can be relied on and whose aggressive work can be depended upon. Douglas county is opposed to prohibitory legislation and the candidates of the re- publican party will represent their con- stituency. If the submission of a prohibi- tory amendment is to be beaten 1t must be defeated through republican votes. There is no shadow of a chanceof a dem- ocratic majority in the next legislature. The entire democratic strength will not exceed fifty votes. Every anti-prohibi- tion republican elected is worth two democrats in influencing the party to sensible and practicable legislation. None know this better than men like Fred Metz, Peter ller and other prominent citizens who are personally interested in preventing the costly folly of a prohibi- tory enactment, Give Him An Ovation, General John M. Thayer will address our citizens on mnext Thursday evening n the exposition annex. The people of Omaha owe it to themselves to give the old war horse a rousing ovation. He was one of their pioneers in early days wken Omaha was a hutted village on the muddy banks of the Missouri and Ne- bragka, an unknown section on the map. He led from the city the first regi- ment of volunteers to the war for the preservation of the union and won for himself and his troops high honors on the field of battle and represented this state and city in the national senate General Thayer was an able,eloquent and devot vogate of the interests of his state on the tloor &f the upper house, the friend and confidant of the most dis- tinguished public men and the honored intimate of General Grant, Nebraska hus no more distinguished eiti- zento-day than her next governor, John M. Thayer. Advancing years have not quenched the burning fires of his untiring energy or the brilliancy of his eloguen Give the old war horse an ovation. L Business men are vitally interested in the legislation of next winter at the state capital. Omaha will be once more on hand asking for new laws adapted to her growth and development and fitted to stimulate and to gnard her municipal advancement, It is of the highest import- ance that her senatorial representatives shall be able and clear headed business men couversant with the wants of the ety und competent to voice them. George W. Lininger is such a man.

They will & from Doug: A Dangerons Bxpedient. In all the great strikes which have oc- curred during ths past year at Chicago, and in some other vlaces, recourse has been had by those against whom the strikes were directed to the employment of a special force for the protection of property and- employes designated as “private detectives,” supplied by the Pinkerton detective bureau, a private en- terprise the ramiticati of which ex tend all over the conntry A force of this character, armed with Winchester rifles, was employed during the late strike of the pork packers at Chieago and distributed among the various establish ments involved in the difliculty. When the trouble was ended, a branch of this force on duty in the town of Lake, while returning to the city, was confronted at two or three points along the route by strikers and their sympathizers, who abused the detectives, and the latter allege attacked the cars with stones and other missiles, The Pinkerton men re- talinted by firing into the crowd, and one man was killed. The captain of police of the town of Lake says the firing was without provocation. The men who did it were arrested and will be tried, when the question whether they were assailed and fired in self-defense will be judicially determined. This unfortunate occurrence has directed attention more seriously than over before to the polioy of employing a force of this kind, and endowing it with full police power, when there is no exigency requiring recourse to extraor- dinary means, or when the lawfully or- dained forces for maintaining the peace and protecting life and property have not been exhausted. So far as we have observed, the consensus ot opinion con- demns the vractice as in conflict with Amcrican institutions and a usurpation having no warrantin law. While it may perhaps be maintained that it wonld be tho right of the authorities, in an ex- DAILY | anything about the matier | abi traordinary emergency, such as has at no time existed m Chicago, to employ a force of this kind, it should ncver be done until every regular means provided by law has been exhausted, and then only under the direct control and super- vision of the authoriti There h been no exigeney in Chicago or else- where, growing out of the controversies between employers and workingmen, in which the police power of the city and the military authority of the state were not ample, if wisely and properly used, for maintaining the peuce and protecting life and property, and thercfore recourse to a force outside of these lawfully preseribed means was withont warrant or justification. It is clearly a most dangerous expedient to confor upon a body of irresponsible men, gath- cred together for the occasion, and owing obedience only to an officer of a private detective agency or bureau, all the power which the law conters upon regularly appointed and sworn oflicials, and place in their hands weapons to enforce their authority. Itisa polioy that would not be thought of, not to say tolerated, in any other country than this, and it ought to be abandoned here. If a private detec- tive system is necessary to aid the au- thorities in ferreting out eriminals and bringing them to justice, and we will not say it is not, let it be wmaintamed, with whatever authority of law may be required to carry it on efficiently, but solely in its legitimate sphere. Whenever) otherwi: employed, as it has been in Chicago, it usurps a funotion to which it has no right, in the exercise of which it is of ne- cessity obnoxious, and which is an almost irresistible invitation to popular resist- ance. Tho law-abiding people of this country are abundantly able to protect themsclves by the lawful means which are provided by the statutes of every state, and they will not pa- tiently acquiesce in the resort to” extraordinary and unwarranted expedients which has of late becomo common with those who are not satislied with the prescribed instrumentalities of the law. The people will not tolerate the presence among them ot armed bands of “‘private detectives” of whose oflicial authority they know nothing, nor ean it be well for any interest that such organizations shal! become a permanent part of the police systems of our citi The same public sentiment which ap- proves the punishment of anarchists who break our laws will demand that the Pinkerton men whoshot down Begley in the town of Lake shall reocive the punishment they deserye. re-election of Mr. William R. Morrison to congress is not assured, and there is an apprehension in some quarters that the leader of the democratic majority in the present congress, by virtue of his position as chcirman of the ways and means committes, may be missed from the next congress. The caroey of Mr. Morrison as a statesman has mnot heyn brilliantly successful, largely due to his mistake of having y sistently meddled with the tarif¥ aues- tion, of which he knows almost nothing. But he bas been successful until now in holding his home following by reason of the faith of his constituents in the nonesty of his aims, however unwise or ill-jndged his methods, and 1t is doubt- less just to say that he deserved this con- fidence. Buvit now appears that a con- siderable number of his constituents have concluded that while hcnesty of purpose in a representative is a most ex- cellent and desirable quality, it is not all- suflicient, while there are still others who have a grievanca growing out of his recommendations for office. Thus he is threatened with losing these dissatistied elements, the exact strength of which cannot be determined, but which are be- lieved to be numwerous enough to greatly endanger his chance of winning.

This infamous plot is nota mere conjec ture. The proof of it does not rest on surmise or suspicion. It isnot to be pooli-poohed or brushed away by pro nouncing it one of Rosewater's malicious campaign slanders, Ths 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 can 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 1876 Nebraska elected _Silas A Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. H, Connor presidential electors by a vote of 31,916 as against a vote of 16,054 cast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the election it was discovared that the eanvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the eislature convened. The clectoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the Iatest, and the regular ses- sion of the legislature did not begin until January. In order to make a legul canvass of the eclectoral returns, Jovernor 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 cap- ture republican electoral yotes is historic. Tilden’s friends, notably | Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Nebr: nd it 15 also historic that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke intothe plan of the plott: nd they found a will ing and reckless tool m Church Howe. When the legislature convened at the eapi- tal,Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7 and 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 1877. The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading: 1, Chureh Howe, a meniber of the legisl ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Stlas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the resultof the vote cast in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice president 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 vote upon the following grounds: First. This lezislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the stato having been in force since November, The second and third clauses deal with toohnienl objections and are somewhat lengthy. The coucluding sentonces of ccious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signea) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. ‘The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was bavely aquoram in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was & member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the 7ilden lawyers in Umaka 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 electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had ehanged places 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 having received a majority of the electoral voles were en- titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lusted two days, Church Howe askea to be excused from vuling when it first camo 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, F , Kennard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wileox—20. Those voting in the negative were: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinmun, Holt, Chureh 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 recorded as having 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 ropublican independent, republican on nationalissues und a temperance granger on local issues. We simply ask what right & man with such a record has to he support of any republican. STATE AND TERRITORY.

We did think we would try and eat oor part of th and support the ticket, but we h cluded that in justice to our honest and candid opinions and our readers, we cannot do it.

No republican should vote for a man tigt did all in his ower to prevent the electoral vote of Nebraska from being canvassed and thereby place Samuel J. Tilden in the presidential jail. This, Church Howe did, as the house journal of 1877 shows. This act alone should be enough to pre- vent every true and loyal republi can of the First district from cust- ing a vote for him. It would be & shame and a disgrace to the republiean of this district to be represented b dishonorable man as Church We very much regret that such a man was nominated. Butthe fact that he spent months in nipulating conventions and packing delegations in the interest of his nomination, has not been idly disrezarded by the intelligent voters of the district, and they will not suffer themselves to be forced by the party lush to support such a disreputable nomince.

A few of the republiis cans who place party above principle were indignant beenuse we saw fit to drop Church Howe and L. W.

Nothing would please us better than an indignation meeting in this precinet and nge and defy any opposition to the course we are pursuing, to go ahend with their indignation meetings, provided we be allowed a hearing. We have assur- ances that the better efoment of the re- publican party in this precinet will stand by us in bolting the nominations of Church Howe and L. W.
