McShane voted against th pitol appropriation bill because the senate refused to adopt his amendment that no conviet labor should be employed upon it. Tue demoeratic candidate for float seuator is vigorously engaged in tradi off votes for McShane for votes for bell. L'ho democratic candidate for con- gress has a fine chance to retaliate, Every farmer and merchant interested in cheap transportation should east his wvote against the life-long capper of the monovpolies whose whole record has besn & protest against railroad regulution. Every vote for Edward Simeral isa wote for an honest, capable and manly . young lawyer, \vhuuu charaeter and repu- tation are suflicient vouchers for the . fidelity and ability with which he will fill the oftice of county attorney.

Eveny voter should see that the name o1 C. H. Van Wyek is on his ballot on election day.

Tower, democrat, are inous job. demoeratic candidate for float senator has been taken into the confidence of the corporation henchmen and was escorted by Green and Tower into the bank that handies the railroad company's funds. Democrats and republicans have been offered enormous sums to do the bidding of the B, & M. dictators. Such high- handed work has not been attempted in Omaha since Jay Gould’ Nebraska campaign of 1876, In behalf of this county and city we enter our pro- test against this attempt to throttle the popular will by the shameless devanchery of our clections. We eall upon President Perkins to order whalt of his mercenaries. The citizens of Lincoln and Lancaster counties may submit tamely to B. & M. railroad rule, but Omaha and Douglas county will resent and resist it, Rowe or McShane. The voters of the First congressional district must take their choice between Church Howe and John A, McShane. The wlidate nominated by the prohibition party will, of course, receive three to four thousand ont of the fifty thonsand votest 1i be cast in the distriet, and, therefore, is practically out of the race. Narrowed down to the two men, itseems to us that no conscientious voter ean for @ moment hesitate. Church Howe represents within him- self all that 1s vicious, dishonest and eriminal in his political methods. His record is that of a trickster, bribe-taker and political mountebank. Of all the men in Nebraska he the most brazen of monopoly cappers. He is a dangerous man to place in the national legislature. His nomination was notoriously procu by wholesale bribery and fraud. Of all the men lll/filu'x ate he is the last to ap peal to republicans on the ground of his republicanism. Politieally he has been all things to all His record of treachery in 1876 when he attempted to prevent the canvass of Nebraska's clee- yes and Wheeler should or bar him out of republican coun- ails. John A. McShane, his opponent, is a democrat, and under ordinary circum- stances we should not expect republicans to support him, He makes no pretense to being an anti-monopelist, but his record in the legislature during three sessions stunds in marked contrast with that of Chureh Howe. He bas always fav railroad regulation and was decidedly opposed to the bogus railroad commi sion, created at the instance of the rail- road bosses and through Church Howe's connivance. When that bill was on its final passage, Mr. McShane offered the following explanation, which was printed on page 630, Senate journal: “Mr. President: The question of creatinga board of railroad commissioners having been subitted to the people of tke state, and by them rejected, and believing this bill to be in the interest of the railroads instead of the people, and passed for the express purpose of decoiving the people of this state, 1 vote ‘no.’” Mr. MoShane, it is trae, is very wenlthy, brt nobody can charge him truthfully memorable | with any dishonest businuss transaction. His word is as good as his bond. If elected to congress he will oceupy the position s a matter of honor and trust. He will have no votes to sell and no in- flusnce to barter. His election will not be a democratic triumph, but a republi- cun protest against corruption and im- proper interference with purty machinery by corporate moaopoly, In the choice between Church Howo and John A. McShane honest republicans have a duty to pu(orm‘,u their party, the state and the country.’ They must de- feat Church Howe, and the only way they cun do it is to vote against him and for John A, McShane. How to Vote for Senator, The provision of the constitution, wh allows the citizens of this state to express their choice for United States senator at the coming clection, does not perscribe on what portion of tho ticket the name ot the cundidate shall be printed or written, and we regard it as immaterial whether it 15 in the middle or at the end of the ticket. The only thing which should be uniform is the expression. In printing tickets for Van Wyck this should be as follow Preference for Umited States Senator, Cuaxies H. Vay Wyck, Under our laws it does not matter whether the given name is in full or the imtials. The name of Van Wyck, under the preference for United States senator, ontitles 1t to be counted for Van Wyck, 1t is only where there are two eandidates of the same name that the initials are necessary. Voters should see to 1t that the judges and clerks of clection give credit on the tally sheet and return blank for every vote oust, as there will be an attempt in many p Loke ofl the popular expression. Several seeret cire s have boen got- ten up for the benefit of the thoughtless voters of Douglas county. Oune of these is & medical cirealar strietly for the pro- fession oniy and in the tercst of that political quack, Church Rowe. ‘The reg- ular dootors have tried to take this pre- scription infernally but it won't stay on their stomachs, Then there is a civeular “to thonghtiul voters,” which 1s full of confidential ad vice about *‘bossism™ and the imerits of the demoeratie eandidate fur foat sena. tor.

So much for that campaign he from Camp Clarke. The ¢ ‘ounty Hospital, 10 proposition allowing the board of county commissioners to sell the east fifty acres of the poor farm and apply the proceeds for the construction of a county hospital should carry by an overwhelm- ng majority. Every voter should not fal to cast his vote for the proposition, Douglas county has more poor and suffering within her limits than any two other counties in the state. Omaha with nher 80,000 population contributes the larger portion. ‘To-day, there are scores of sick and feeble in this city who cannot be given relief because there is no room for them in the poor hous We by sixty-five ineurable insane huddled to- gether in eramped and fiithy quarters at the poor farm. “The proposition in its present form Teayes no loophole for jobbery or fraud. The ground will be platied nto eity lots and sold at auction after appraisement. Plans for the new building are now being considered by an able committee of doc tors. Whichever n be selected, Doug- s county will be able to boast of having a beautiful, commodions and admirably arranged structure for hospital purposes without having voted a single dollar of additional taxation, Every interest demands the construe- tion of tite county hospital as rapidly as possible. Our poor and suffering need it, our infirm and insane cannot be provided thout it. Common decency and ¢ humanity require it. Thought to be Losing Ground. There are indications that Mr. Cleye- land is steadily losing ground with his party. While a little time ago every- thing pointed to his re-nomination in 1888, there have recently been evidences of rovolt and of grow 1sfaction which must be regarded as a serious menace 1o his chanees. These come also from a section where he must have a solid support in order to be successful either in the national convention or i fore the people. The Virgiman incident continues to be taiked about, and what- ever northern democrats may think aboutit, ithas unquestionably made a decided impression, not confined to Vir- ginia, unfavorable to Mr. Cleveland, It is also apparent that South Carolina is no longer a unit for him. His inaction and apparent indifference respecting the calamity at Charieston lost him thouw of friends among ardently devoted to his political fortunes those of any other portion of the coun- try, and the displeasure is a lasting one. It was n urably expressed in the cent bitter arraignment of the president’s policy by Congressman ‘Tillman of South olimna, one of the ablest and most influential politicians in the South, which reported to have ereated a marked sensation in that section. *Further evidences of the owing displeasure come from Louis- iana and Texas. In the former state Senator Fustis has long been a con- spicuous opponent of the president, and now it is believea Senator Gibson has also antagonized him. We recently noted the fact of an interview between the latter senator and the president, in which Gibson bluntly charged the admin- istration with inconsistency in the pro- posed action regarding federal ofticials in Louisiana who were alleged to have violated the civil seryice order of the president, In Washington the democratic onthusiasm whieh preceded Cleveland’s election and was so marked in the carly part of his administration 18 no longer found, and the balance of feeling there is decidedly against him. He keeps coldly aloof from the people, and itis sai? (hat e and his cabinet act, as it were by con- ccrt, vo snub and repulse distriet inter- ests. The so-called democerats are the most undemoeratic clement of the popu- lation, and it is nov uncommon to hear them express the belief, which with them 15 the equivalent of hoping, that the next prosident will be a republi It is furthermore a somewhat sign cant fact, to which we have heretofore referred, that many of the most earnest fricnds and supporters of Mr. Cleveland in the present congress failed of re- tion, the reason therefor being x if not solely the active given his policy. A striking example the case of General Bragg, of Wisconsin who proclaimed that he loved the pre dent “for the enemies he had made,” and others ¢ Floyd Kmg, of Louisiana, Wellborn and ‘Throckmorton, of Texas, Withis, of Kentueky, with a number of otters of less prominence. It is con- cedod that the republicans will make large gains in the next house, i they do not suceced in carrying it, and old-fash- ioned democrats charge the responsibility entrely to the policy of the president and his treatment of the part; My, Cléveland was some time ago made con- scious of the faet, through the investiga tious of his more sagacious licutenants, Mauning and Lamout, that in his own MONDAY tate the party was rapidly drifting aws from him, and he has since been diligent to recover his lost ground there by selecting for publie positionsonly t 1 whose complet 1l unchange able otion to his cause he had im appointments ly seeking plicit confidener I'he | of Magone, and Benediet, and Lock | threatened disaster to his aspi [ that state wood are ti questional president s evidence of this, But it is s whether this policy of the iously designed to avert fons in his own state, will accomplish thav result, It certainly has not sileneed the fault- finding of the most influential exponents of demoe views among the press of nd the action last week of the anti-Cleveland democrats of Buffalo in nommating for congress General Rogers who was an applicant for the position of public printer and is said to feel ve sore and indignant at his failure—is most substantial indication that the poli has notappeased all portions of the party It is quite possible that Mr. Cleveland and his close friends do not regard the: signs as of very great or grave import ance; ovif they do, he may have plans for the future by which he expeets to re move the evident displeasure that now exists. But none the less they signi- ficant, and unless the presidentean check their growth his cause is likely to become hopeless long before the time for the as- sembling of the next national democ; convention nr rrs and 1 ibition, There has just been issned by the - ternal revenue department tatistical exhibit of the revenue derived from the muanufacture of liquors and malt bever- ages. One remarkable feature of the showing is that in spite of prohibition i several states that formerly licensed the liquor traflic, the income has inereased, which shows that prohibition has pro- duced no material effect. The exhibit made is, however, more interesting to the farmers, whose products have found avery profitable market at home, while fully a half of the manufactured product of the distilleries has gone abroad. Last year betweeu fifteen and sixteen million bushels of grain were consumed in the manufacture of aleohol and spirits. The breweries ¢ consumed as much more. words the farmers of the coun- had a home market for more v million bushels of grain and rload of aleohol exported has meant five car loads of farm products shipped out of the country To wipe out this industry would de- wse the seliing price of every bushel of 1, wheat, ryeand barley. Itwould add thirty millions of bushels of grain to our rm products, owing to rail- road extortions, are low enough now. Do Nebraska farmers wish to cut their own throats by stilt fufther decreasi: them? . I Tue cause of Honry Gieorge m New York will derive nio strength. from the Irish vote, although' he has bid for sup- port in rectibn, and this fact will doubtless be favorable to Hewitt, Not only are the Irsh opposed to socialism wdvocated by Mr., George, but they re- gard that gentieman persoualiy with dis- approval beeause of his'course when he wing his Land doctrines in sail things at that time about the Iridh which greatly of- fended them, and those utteranees now return to plague him. He was then de- nounced by Mr. Healy as an enemy of Ireland, and it is s; Iso that Mr. Par- nell was his determined opponent. A strong feeling has consequently bheen aroused against him among the Irish- American voters of New York, which his democratic opponent has of course played upon with due diligence and zeal, and doubtless with good effeet. It is not at all unlikely, however, that the repub- lican candidate will get a share, and per- haps a considerable one, of this vote, which on more than one oceasion has been t liberally in that direction. Tk uncertainties of the congressional campaign_are great. The democratic majority ‘in the house 1s forty-three, and there a forty-four districts in which the plurality of the present congressnien was less than 900, Twenty- four of these districts o represented by democrats; one cach in California, Con- neetieut, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, the Sixth r» chusetts, w York, T , Virginia anda two in Muln"ul. th ach in Illinois and lowa, and five in Ohio.

In most of these distriets the plurahity is much 1ess than 900, in many less than 400, while the third party vote is often larger than the pluraiity, so that the call for sharp fighting is pretty evenly distributed over the country, and the rmmll migity uncer- tain till after ele Grorae Henon should poll a tre- mendous vote, Enterprising, able, hon- est and full of encrgy he is a tive of the business men who have done 50 much to push Omuha to the front of great commercial cities of the west.

This is falschood which 1am in position to di prove by his own handwriting, In 1875, the murderous wit of Curry, Church Howo wrote to my brother, Andrew Rosowator, who was then temporarily editing the paper, a letter now on file in this oftice, which reads as follows My Dear Siri—Before tho attempted mur- der of your brottier Edward, we had a long interview satistactory to us both.

Inasmuch as the legislature was already convened, and the session insted only one day, I would like to know how much he would have saved the state by adjourning it three hours sooner than it did adjourn.
