The favorites, however, are showing off their zood points as they are warming up for the grand free for all June 19. OREGON casts a very big shadow across democratic hopes. The republi- cans scored a victory and carried the state by a majority larger than the re- turns for 1872. Put it down on your slate that Oregon is safe in November. w= THe California delegation to Chicago left San Francisco on the evening of June 10 and will be bowling through Nebraska on the Burlington in a day or two. Stops are to be made at Salt Lake and at Denver, and Chicago will be reached Saturday morning. It is safe to say that all along the line the dele- gation will be regeived with unbounded enthusiasm. AN unusual amount of Amevican rail- road bouds have been sold at London duringthe past fow weoks. Two rail- ronds, "the Reading and Baltimore & ©Ohio, borrowed in the aggregate over 840,000,000, Besides this, a large quan- tity of railroad bonds was sold in open market. This vast movement of gold to America must of necessity find its way in commercial transactions and stimulate all branches of business. Tue announcement that Judge Thomas M. Cooleyof the interstate com- missioners,will speak at the Chautaugua assembly at Crete, Neb., on July 8, will insure a large attendance. The man- agers of that enterprise are to be con- gratulated in securing Judge Cooley’s services. This eminent jurist commands toa high degree the respect of the country, and no man deserves a more careful hearing. With such ropresenta- tive speakers the Crete Chautauqua will soon become a rivalof the mother as- sembly. ——— Tne great Pennsylvania steel barons are liable to find a rival in the business of steel making from an unexpected quarter. A company with a capital of five million dollars has just been formed in the northwest corner of the United States near Scattle, Washington terri- tory, for the purpose of working the rich iron ores of the Cascade mountains, The natural advantages possessed by this company 1n the richuess and prox- imity of the ores places it in a position to compete with the eastern steel mo- mnopoly. This is the first attempt at steel making from the raw material on the Pacific coast, and the indusury is destined to become of great value to the efforts ave being made by ies of Minnesota to avert the danger of a grasshopper scourge. Millions of tho pests are being hatched out in one of the novthern counties of the state and are almost large enough to do incalculable damage. Governor McGill is to be commended for his promptness in dispatching to the field of action coal tar, coal tin, sheet iron and muslin, out of which is to be built the engines of war. It is to be hoped that the warlike campaign will be short, sharp and decisive, and that the gover- nor of the stute will be erowned with well-deserved laurels as the victor over an insidious enemy more devastating than the Iudians. We——e———— A MORE pathetic interest will be given to the illness of General Sheri- dan by the death of his venerable mother, which occurred at her howe in Somerset, Ohio, yes- terday. Mrs, Sheridan had veached the advanced age of eighty- eight years and nearly tne whole of her life was passed in the home where she died and where her distinguished son was born, She was a most worthy woman and an excellent mother, and there is geatification in the reflection that she lived to see her distinguished sou reach the highest military honor his country could bostow. General Bheridan wus devotedly attached to his mother and there is reuson to fear that A1 he is allowgd to henr-of ker death in his prosent condition the effeut upen “him may be very serious. No Word For The Soldiers The democratic platform contains not a single word recognizing the valor and sacrifices of the men who preserved the union, or pledging to those who survive and to their descendants the support of the democratic party4o the beneficent d instituted and main- epublican party. It goes than to assert the claim that the admini ation paid out more for pensions and bountics to the soldiers and sailors of the repub- lic than was ever paid before during an period,” a fact not in the loast de- s to the credit of the democracy, since overy dollar thus paid was in pursuance of legislation of republi origin, I intelli- gentman in the country knows this, and among all the pretonses and pre- sumptuous claims of the democratic platform there is none: more impudent and absurd than the assumption that the purty is entitled to any credit for the disbursements on account of pen- sions and bounties. The controlling clementof the party in congress, the world knows, has opposed pension logis- lation when it dared and grudgingly given support only from considerations of policy, while the president has been in accord with this feeling and has lost 10 opportunity to strengthen it. The platform was framed in Wash- ington, in large part, it is be- lieved, by the hand of M. Cleveland, and it was adopted with little, if any, alteration. The chief representative of the administra- tion at St. Louis,; Congressman ott, is quoted as saying that he carried it to the convention and that it went through without a single change. The omission of any acknowledgment of the services of the defenders of the union, and of any assurance of democratic concern for their future, must therefore be re- garded as having the approval of the president. Tt is certainly consistent with his course respecting the soldiers and it could not fail to be accey le to the dominant element in the par conspicuous member of which was chi man of the committee on resolutions. This omission is virtually a notifica~ tion to the union soldiers of the cou try that the democratic pavty will not in the impending campaign expect or seek their support, and that if they give it, it must be with the under- standing that no right shall acerue to demand consideration of the party in the event of its success. It is to all in- tents and purposes a rejection of the claims of the soldiers tothat recognition of their services to the nation which all parties have hitherto freely extended, and an abandonment of all guarantees, s0 far as the democratic party is con- cerned, of a continuance of the benefi- cent policy of the government toward those who preserved it and their de- scendants. It means that the dominant element of the democracy is no longer willing to paticntly tolerate the claims of these men upon the bounty of the government, and that the party is ready for a departure in disregarding these claims in the future. The union soldiers will not fail to take note of this most significant omission of the democratic party, nor will they fail to fix the responsibility for it where it belongs. And unless they have ceased to be true to themselves and to the de- scendants of their patriotic comrades, democratic has demoeracy will learn in November that ¢ it has made another fatal blunder. He Will Bear Watching. Two reports from different quarters state that Mr. Depew has decided not to enter the race as a presidential cardi- date. Oneof the emanating from Chicago, is to the effect that Depew had written a letter to an intimate friend in that city in which he said that he had become satisfied that be was not an available candidate by reason of the op- position to him developed in the west. What purports to be the substance of the lotter says that while Depew be- lieves he could earry New York, he has concluded that his record as a railroad president and corporation lawyer might cost some morthwestern lectoral votes. It 13 so improbable that Depew would make an admission of this sort, at this time, however strongly he might feel it, that there is good reason to doubt the authenticity of the veport. Mr. Depew may finally determine not to allow his name to before the convention. There will cer- tainly be evidence enough presented at Chicago to convince him. 1f he bo made of penetrable stuff, that he is not an available candidate. But he may be expected to await the presentation of this evidence before he withdraws. There cannot be a question regarding his ambition in this matter. He has been for years looking forward to the opportunity which now secms to offer, and he will not abandon it less driven to do so. There will be no voluntary sur- render on his part for the good of tho part; The other report that Mr, Depew is out of the field comes from Washing- ton, and credits Mr, Dorsey of Nebrasku and Mr, Burroughsof Michigan with having. convinced the friends of the president of the New York Central that it would be suicidal for the republican party to iominate him, 1f these gen- tlemen have accomplished this they bave done a very great service to the party, for which no eommendation would be greater than they deserve. But for the reasons already given we are not disposed to give un- questioning ocredonce to the re- port that these representatives have been uble o nduce Depew to relinguish t op- portunity which he has been waiting for and believes has come, But whether Dopew has already de- sided todrop out of the race or shall do so later, he will still bear watching., His power for nef will not have ceased when ho shall have become no longer a possible cundidate. He will in all probability dominate the seveaty-two votes of New York at Chicago, and it is not to be doubted that he will muke use of this power in behalf of candidates who will prom- ise most, or from whom most could be expected, for the interests lie repre- sents. The defeatof the effort of the corporatious to make hiw the candidato g0 un- fy the antagonism of this influence in the convention to any man the cor- porations regard as being hostile to them, and it is not questionable that Mr. Depew will be found a willing in- strument to put in effect this epirit. In respect the relations in which th president of the New York Ceatral nds at this juncture to the republi- y party must be tunate. eve regarded as unfor- P ANorn petition from Nebraska has been presented to congress askin the passage of the Outhwaite bill, which proposes o the Union Pacific fifty yoars longer in which to pay its indebt edness to the government, with other provisions favorable to that corpora- tion. This last petition emanates from the board of trade of Fairbury, but whether it represents the full member- ship of that organization, ora propor- tion relatively no greater than that which in the name of the Omaha board approved the Outhwaite bill, does not appear. In any event the question is pertinent whether the Fairbu endorsers of the bill have more than a superficial knowledge of its character, and whether they have not allowed themselves to bo drawn into an approval of it by influences which it is evident are being industriously broug ht to bear in Nebraska and elsewhere. The repre- sentatives of the Union Pacific have been very zealous at Washington in be- half of this measure, and there is very good reason to believe that they have not been idle in other quarters where an expression of favorable opinion might be of service. Before there is an further expression of approval from Ne- braska for the Outhwaite bill it is to be hoped those invited to make it will take the trouble to make a careful study of the provisions of that measure,and seri- ously ask themselves whethor itis a sort of legislation that is likely to be con- ducive to the interests and welfare of the producers of thi Tie Union Pacific has filed articles of incorporation for the building of four branch lines. The capital is $7,- 500,000. What is of interest to the peo- ple of Nebraska about this bit of news 18 that all these feeders are to be built in Colorado. When it is remembered that President Adams distinctly stated that the Union Pacific managers would economize and build no more railroad extensions this year, it is natural to suppose from the above facts that he re- ferred only tp the state of Nebraska. This is the way the Union Pacific is continually hoodwinking the people of this state. When a Union Pacific depot at Omaha, and a thousand and one improvements through Ne- braska are asked for, the Union Pacific officials are very sorry that they can not accommodate our peo- vle so long as agovernment debt of $78,000,000 is due in 1897. And the peo- vle of Nebraska, like the foolish geese in the fable, swallow the assurances and are almost willing to bear the burdens of the Outhwaite bill. They are asked tosaddle upon theirnecks a mountain of debt in order that the Union Pacific may bleed the state for years to come, and honeycomb the west from Colorado to the*Pacific ocean with railroads built out of money wrung from the producers of Nebra A MOVEM is on foot among the merchants of Texas to induce congress to make such appropriations as will in- sure the creation of a deep water har- bor on the coast of Texas. For th pose a convention is called to take place at Denver in July. The business men of Colorado, Nebraska and other west- ery states and tervitories are invited to co-operate with Texas in securing gov- ernment aid. Undoubtedly a petition from aconvention representing the com- mereial interests of the west would go a long way toward influencing congress to take proper steps in the project. Texas hus no harbors to-day which are easy of access or deep cnough to ac- commodate large ocean steamers. It is felt that with a suitable deep water port of entry, the Buropean shipments of cattle and grain from the west, now sent via the great lakes and railroads to the eastern seaboard, would be di- rected to this Texas route. Moreover, a zood harbor in Texas would stimulate a closer trade with Mexico, Central and South Ameriea. The advantages of a deep water harbor in Texas to the state and to the west are manifold. But there are many difficulties in the way of a realization of such a scheme. . ThE combination “of .electoral votes made to show the chances for electing a president offer intercsting reading. There are 401 votes in the clectoral col- lege, and 201 are nocessary to elect a president. The republicans, relying on the cighteen states carvied in 1884 for Blaine, must in addition carry two out of these three doubtful Indiana, New Jersey, and Connecticut, one of which must be Indiana. The democrats, with the solid south secure, must, hesides, carry the following combinatiou Bither New York and Indiana, or New York, New Jersoy and Connecticut., It is apparent that Indiana, is a vital necessity to either party, and it is therefore more than likely that one of the republican candidates will be a “son’ of the Hoosier & will now have some- thing to point to when he talks about navagation on the Missouri being im- peded by the bridges at Omaha.

Thomas H. y, of Altoona, Pa., arrived yesterday from St. Louis where he had been as a delogaté to the national con- vention from the Twentieth district of Penn- sylvania. Mr. Greevy came on to visit his® younger brother, M. J. Greevy, of this city who is transfer passenger agent of the Mis- souri Pacific raurond. = Mr. Greevy is a membe of Blair county bar and ex-city recorder of Altoona. He was a delegate to the state convention held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on May 23 last, He has been a delegate to numerous state conventions and is prominently known in democratic politics. Mr. was seen at his brother's residence No. 1230 Virginia avenue, and in reply to a question bearing upon his delegation in the convention said: *‘The vote of Pennsylvania was cast solid for Thurman in the conven- tion but on an informal vote in the delega- tion, C. G. Murphy, of the Seventeenth dis- trict, and myself voted for Gray. Stevenson received seven or cight votes and Black two. Congressman W. L. Scott made a strang appoal to our delegation in_behalf of Thur- man, and to s influence alone may Thur- man’s solid vote from Penusylvania be cred- ited. I voted for Gray because I believed him a better and more practical politician than Thurman and lived in a pivitol state, When I say closer to the people I do not mean that Thurman is not close to the peo- ple, for he is. But after a man has kept out of active politics, us Thurman has, for a num- ber of years, he loses his personai following to a large extent and falls in bebind other leaders. Governor (iray is in active politics just now, with a large personal following at his back, and his nomination would have, in my opinion, absolutely anchored the Indiana démocrats this fall.” “Did Congressman W. L. Scott, of Penn sylvania, h puch to do in shaping the re- sults of the convention?” silent power behind tho ud absolutely controlled the conven- tion in'all its details,” “Do I understand you to say that Con- gressman Scott had Henry Watterson mado chairman of the committee on resolutions also?” #No, sir; he had no hand in the selection’of Watterson as chairman of the committee on resolutions, nor did he dream that Watf son could control enough votes to elect him- self, else he would have prevented it. Gor- mun was Scott's choice by necessity, and Watterson beat him just two votes. It was 20 to 2, I believe. Scott did not go on the committee on resolutions from Pensylvania, and when he heard of Watterson’s election he was mad. Watterson had a platform in his pocket, and Scott had one also which he brought on from Washington with him. When he heard of Watterson's election his friends determined that he must go on the committee on resolutions, which he did the next day with the change of a couple of words only.” ““Will Mr., Scott be a candidate for chair- man of the national committee" “f am satisfied that Mr. Scott is not a can- didate for national chairman, and that nothing short of gome extraordinary political necessity would induce him to be- come a candidate.” e § “‘What has become of therRandall and Wal- lace factions in Pennsylvatiaf’ The Wallace contingent are behind Scott and very many of tho Randallites also. Wal- lace was chairman of the state convention on the 23 of May lastand coutrolled it in Scott’s interosts.

On the register of the Paxton hotel ap- poars the following inscription in plain, firm handwriting, *Jno. C. Fromont, Los Ange- les.” The general was found in his room writing lotters, but at once broke off and entered Into animated conversation with a representative of Tue Bee, “Iconfess [am astonished at the marvel- Jous growth of your city,” said the general, “I have been out riding with Judge Savage, who, you remember, was a colonel on my staff during the war, ana I could hardly realize the change that has taken place in Omaha since I was hore last— about eight years ago.’’ During the interesting talk which followed, the general statod that he first saw the spot. on which Omaha is now located just fifty years ago. In 1538 he passed up the river on a steamboat on one of his famous explora- tions. Asked about his family, the general responded, “Mrs. Fremont is in excellent health. One of our sons, an army officer, is stationed in the east and the other, » naval officer, is on the const.” Turning from these matters to politics the general recalled his experience as the first candidate of the republican party for the presidency. It was a battle for free soil and free press at that time, and a move- ment to make the declaration of indepen- dence a reality in every section of this country. “Tho republican party has carried out that mission,”” said the general, ‘‘and if it is wise it will now take advanced ground on the labor and in- dust. issue. American workingmen are mtelligent and will soon become tho governing power in the land. The party that recognizes this fact and acts upon it will achieve supremacy.” The general did not express preference as to presidential candidates, bui thought the position of Tur Ber on Depew's candidacy was timely, He bears his seventy-five years better than most men of that age, looking not more than sixty, and still retains his soldierly bearing. Last evening, when the knowledge of the general’s presence in the city reached the people of the city, a number of them called at the Paxton to greet him. Among these were & number of the republicans of the city as also of the Young Men’s Republican club. Both of these delegations were received by General Fremont in the parlor of the hotel, where Mr. R. W. Breckenridge, in behalf of the club, in d the general to be- come the guest of the club and the republicans from Nebraska in at- tendance upon the republican convention at Chicago. The invitation was graciously accepted. The general said he was on his to St. Louis, and after he had made a visit there he would be pleased to accept the hospitality aud appreciate the kindness which the republicans of Nebraska had shown him. The general exchanged kindly words of grecting with a_number of the gentlemen present, some of whose fathers bad voted for him when he was a candidate for president and from whom they had derived a number of incidents of the gentleman’s career. The most noticeable feature of the rece) tion, vever, was the production by k. editor of Tuk Beg, of a badge of blue satin, as fresh in color and texture as if it had been laid away but yesterday, which in 1: did duty as a campaizn symbol of the republican nominees, I'remont and Dayton, the first nominees of the party. Above the names floated an American flag in the folds of which were the words, “Fremont and Freedom.” Beneath were the names of the candidates “John C. Fremont, of Californi: “William L. Dayton, New Jersey.” B sides, the badge contains a vignette of General Fremont, who appears as a man in th zor of life with a full d of dark hair and heavy chin whisk of the color. The present appearance of the contrasts with that of the vignette of thirt ars ago, but then the old 1 i ed beyond his years. The badge eagerly viewed by everybody nt and pronounced many as one of the most valuablé political souvenirs they had ever seen. General Fremont will remain in Omaha to- day. He will go thence 1o St. Louis and thence to Chicago, where he will be met by the Nebraska republicans and become the guest of the Nebraska republicans during the republican convention. MAKING ARRANGEMENTS, General John C. Fremont having accepted the invitation to be the guest of the Nebraska republicans at the Chicago convention, the joint committee began last night to lay plans to give the “Pathfinder” such a_reception as will befit the historic character that he is and at the same time re credit upon the state and its domnant part, appointed to meet Louis and escort ’hicago. While in that city he will be attended by a body guard of Ne ans, who will try to antic pate his every wish. During the conventi probably immediately after the tempor organization, the first presidential candidate of the republican party will be introduced to the assemblage. Charies Green is mentioned as the gentleman likely to make the presenta- tion spoech. Tt is proposed at some convenient time during the session of the convention to organize @ street parade in honor of the “Pathfinder,” in which the republicans from all sections will be invited to participate. THE SILENT SCHOOL. Closing Exercises at the Institute for Deaf and Dumb. The close of the nineteenth year of the Ne- braska institute for the deaf and dumb was appropriately celebrated yesterday afternoon at its beautiful quarters beyond Walnut Hill. The exercises were of exceeding interest and shows the astonishing strides made in the education of this poor class of unfortunates in late years. A large number of spectators were present, among them some of the lead- ing citizeus of Omaha, and they showed their wonder and delight from time to time by hearty applause, The hall in which the cx- ercises were held was ve prettily decorated in honor of the occasion. The scholars num- bered about one hundred, one of them L. Di- vine, graduating this year. The intelligence of the pupils and the skill they have attained in the various depart- ments was truly astonishing. Not only have they become proficient in Qrawing, cogray- ing and the ordinary studies taught in the schools, but some have achieved wonderful proficiency in understanding vocal speech by watching the motion of the lips of the speaker and expressing themselyes by spoken words as wi s by the sign lan- guage. After the opening exercises a comic panto. mime was presented by Willinm Marsh and Chris Jensen, in which was portrayed the laughable story of & quack doctor aud his wonderful medicine, Sehool exercise by the primary class ‘followed, in which Star Mar shall, Lulu Gould, Kittie Peterson, Fritz Dumke and Fred Hruza took parf The next was an illustrated pocm on the , in which great skill in draw. as-shown by Chris Jensen, Bridget ,John Touer, John Bauwan, Mawio Reed und Maimic Hall, The advanced clas consisting of Ida Kerr, Will King, Alfrc Waugh and Pinkuney Sheetz, next took th place at the blackboard and auswered sc very difficult questions propounded to them from the elemeatary branche The next exercis ndered by nine pretty girls, was one of the most affecting pre sented. It was the song “‘Shall We Meet Beyond the River,” rendered in the sign lauguage.

The mombers of this class were Elln Ream, Ella Cornish, Nettie Davis, Eliza Toner, Otie Crawford, Laura Gard, Henry Porter, John McCart- ney, Lydia Hagedorn and Mary Leach. The proficiency attamed by Otie Crawford as a ip-reader is a source of wonder, even to her teachers. On being placed on one side of & person talking she can tell perfectly what he or &he is saying. 'he drawing of cartoons by James and Tda Baggs shows artistic lklil well worth cultivating.
