But by con- senting to play tail to the democratic kite, Thurman has been knocked into an obtuse triangle at a single blow. e president on. the great grandfather of General Ben IHarrison, the republican nomince of 1888, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The loyal blood hasnot been tar- nished since the days it flowed in the weins of that revolutionary hero. H & % AT both the republican and the demo- i cratic conventions the opening prag were punctuated with cheers. But that is not to be wondered at when the enthu- siasm of delegates is on the point of | effervescence that nceds only an obpor- i under the gonfalon and white plume of our Henry of Navarre. d into the last ditch, with defeat staring them in the face, the Californians snatched the ban- ner of Harrison, rallied the serried ranks and rushed to the van leading the hosts in the victory for Indiana. WiaT finer compliment could be paid in congratulating General Harrison than the words so fittingly sressed by Mr, Blaine: **Your eclection will seal our industrial independence as the declaration of ‘76, which hears the heroic name of your gr: grandfather, ‘sealed our political independence,” THE republican convention ended in a great love-feast. Alldifferences were laid aside and candidates and delegates with one accord joined in fraternal em- brace the moment the nomination of Harrison was assured The closing moments of the convention proved that the success and glory of tha republican party are above faction or individualsy and all things augur well for republican victory in Novembe OuRr old friend George Francis Train earnest. The list of the subjects upon which this orator, scholar and statesman speaks is as unique as his own eccentric charac- ter. But he never forgets to say a good word for Omaha. Whether he discourses upon “Universal Knowledge,” or whether he hurls Jove's thunderbolts against **Monopoly;” whether he pleads for the “*Cause of Iveland,” or, s manlike, points out the way to **Dispos of the Surplus,” George Francis Train at all times turns his wealth of elo- quence and ovatory in praise of his first love, Omuha, has taken the stump in dead | of e commission in the inter-state the Denver had a salutary effect. The fanscontinental railroad managers have wisely concluded that it would be best for them to revise their tariff gheets gt once in conformity with the " inter-stato law prohibiting violations of the long and short haul. There is, moreover, & nervousuess in railroad circles, owing to the fact that the com- missioners have ordered the bellious northwestern rvoads, which have defled the inter-state law, 1o give an.explanation of their conduct. The meeting is to take place at Des Moines at an carly date and a thorough investigation is promised. It is evident to the managers of the railroads be- tween Chicago and St. Paul that they have got themsclves squeczed in a knothole. The_plea that they were forced to cut through rates in carrying freight on the grounds of the lake com- tition will not hold water. Thereis no {:ke competition between Chicago and Bt Paul, But like drowning men these roads grasp at the only defeuse which can justify them in their efforts to meet Tie dec on ‘Buslingtou & Novibera. the low rates made by the Chicago, | Wil They Be Just? Will the democratic and other news- papers that have persistently accused Mr. Blaine of insincerity, and of seek- ing by indirection tosecure the nomina- tion at Chicago, now have the manli- ness and honesty to do him justice by eandidly confessing that they had mis- judged him? Itis impossible that any of the editors who have gone on from day today charging Mr. Blaine with duplicity and jugglery can now fail to sec that they were wrong, and so seeing is it not their manifest duty to frankl acknowledge their error? The dispatches from Mr. Blaine read to the «onven- tioh on Monday were a complete and conclusive on of every charge, intimation orsuspicion that has reflected upon the sincerity and the finality of the communications that preceded them. The votes givem him in the con- vention were in violation of his wishes. The plans of his uncompromising and mistalken friends in that body were wholly without his authority. This has been 80 clearly and unmistakably shown that no fair-minded man will for amoment question 1t. Justice requires that he be fully and unqualifiedly ne- quitted of all responsibility for the ill- judged zeal of his friends. It is not necessary to consider whether Mr. Blaine might or might not have had the nomination had he signified a willing- ness to accept it. It is quite probable that he was the second choice of a large majority of the convention, and if he had permitted the friends who wanted him and none other to main- tain a dendlock, it was perhaps possible for him to have captured the nomina- tion. But he did not do this, and it is sufficient to know that whatever might have happened under different civeum- stances, “Mr. Blaine was from first to last entirely honest and sincere in his determination not under any circum- stances to be the candidaie of the party. Any further attempt to deprive him of whatever merit may attach to his straightforward conduct in this matter will be the grossest injustice. Undoubtedly the name of Mr. Blaine will never again be seriously talked of in connection with the presidency. The influences which induced him to withdraw this year will be stronger four years hence, if his life shall be extended to that time. He may enter congress again, but the greater probability is that he will re- main in private life, free from the caves and the strain of public duties, guard- ing his health and peaccfully enjoying, as he is in a position to do, Lis declin- ing years. As no public man among his contemporaries has been so aggr sive and active as he, so none has ex- perienced so much of the abuse and dis- paragement of political opponents. The time has come when there should be an abatement, if not a total abandonment, of this treatment of Mr. Blaine, and when he should be treated with fairness and justice. His great ability must be conceded by his bitterest enemy. His superiority a8 a leader no one will question. His career has not been without serious faults and mistakes, but he has done his country notable service. oue of the foremost citizens of the nation, who no longer winds in any man’s way, Mr. Blaine deserves to be treated fairly and justly, and especially s0 with respect to his honest and straightforward course 1 relation to the Chicago convention. We shall watch with some interest, but not without mis- ngs, to discover whether the demo- eratic newspapers and their allies haye the manliness to render to Mr. Blaine in this matter the justice that is due him. A Striking Contrast. ‘When the news reached Indianapolis the national republican conven- tion had nomina General Huarrison for the presidency there was a deyelop- mentof popular enthusiasm such as that city had doubtless never wituessed be- fore. As quickly ns possible the popu- laco thronged the streets and gave themselves up to a mc rorous dem- onstration of gl and gratific tion. By thousands the people made their v to the law oflice of the suc- ce candidate to extend their con- mratulations, and subsequently bes his home, sendi d 2 up cheer upon che in testimony of th endorsement of the convention’s action, Far into the night the enthusiasm held on, making the occasion one that no present citizen of Indianapolis will ever forget, It was agreat spcn an :cus testimonial of the people to the popu- larity of General Harrison in the city of his home, where for thirty he has lived prominently in the sight of the public. After such a demonstration no one need question the standing of the republican candidate in Indiana, or doubt that he will sweep that state into the republican column in November, How was it less than three weeks ago when My, Cleveland was nomi d at St. Louis ¥ Was there any manifestition of enthusiasm anywhere, except what was worked up in the convention by the aid of the oflice hold who were there in great fore Mr. Cleve- land was for many years a resident of Buffalo, N. Y., and got his political start the But the democruts of that eity w not the least bit enthused by hi nomination, or if they were they did not make any public show of their feeling. Tl 3 i a goodly number of democrats in Wash- ington, where Mr. Cleveland has r sided for a little over three years, but if they were at all gratified at the pro pect that he might continue in the presidency another term they omitted to show it. There have been here and there a few sporadic efforts to arouse democratic enthusinsm, but we yet to hear of one that has u respcetable success, From all that has appeared thus far it would seem that the democratic campaign is likely to be rather tame and uniutervesting, though undoubt- edly a great effort will be made before its close to infuse into it an appearance of heartiness and enthusiasm. The reason for the countrast in the way the results of the two conventions were received is obvious. In one case the candidate was the deliberate choice of the free and untrammeled represcu- tatives of the party, while in the other the candidate was a compulsory choice, re have been THE the representatives of the party having no will in the matter and discharging a merely formal and perfunctory duty. Genuine enthusiasm under such eir- cumstances as controlled the renomination of Cleveland is impossible, and every democrat who was at St. Louis knows that the demon- stration in the convention when the pre-arranged and unalterable pro- gramme had been carried out wasa sham and a protence. Much of the demo- cratic ardor that will be carefully worked up during the campaign will be of like character, o far at least as all but the officcholding clement of the party is concerned. IN the rush and e citement attending the last few days of the Chicago con- vention our citizéns have almost over- looked the fact that the president has approved the act for the construction of a new bridge over the Missouri river at Omaha. To Nebraska and ally our city the sanction of congress and the executive for a third railroad bridge at this point isof the greatest conse- quence. It means that within a very short time railroads, which heretofore have been wunable to obtain a foothold at Omaha, will not only make their termini here, but muake this eity their base of operations from whence feeders will radiate through the wost. The question natur- ally avises, what railroad systom will take advantage of the right to come into Omaha? There are any number of powerful corporations knocking at our gates for entrance. Among them Omaha can choose between the Rock Island, the Duluth & Southwestern, said to be a western extension of the Lackawanna, and others. 'The charter for the bridge was granted toa company made up of home capitalists, Tt is at their option either to build the bridge Spo with their own capital or to interest a railroad in the project, In eithe; 2 the best interests of tho cit will be consulted. Of a now bridge. however, Omaha is assured. The fran- chise is too valuable a one tolapso by default of its projectors, and there are too many railroads making strenuous endeavors to come into our city to allow the project to dr Tue closing of the public schools for the year takes place the 20th. As usual the greatest interest centers about the commencement exercises for the grad- ating class of the high school, which takes place at Boyd's opera house on the evening of that day. The graduating class consists of thirty-three member: which is the largest number ever gradu- ated at one time from the high school. Next year, it is said that this number will at least be doubled. The success and popularity of the high school is due to the admirable system introduced by its present superintend- ent, ably seconded by an efficient corps of tenchers. Some branches pursued are superfluous and ornamental, but no one ean gain that the instruction is thorough. At the commencement exer- ci Friday evening, our citizens will show their appreciation by a full attend- ance at the opera hov The oc has always been made a red-lettc in our community when citizens testify their interest in our schools. THE last formality necessary to com- plete the prog: anged at Wash- ington and carried into efiect Louis was observed yesterday former city, when Mr. Cleveland informed that the duty he had manded of the national democratic con- vention had been duly and properly performed. Tt must have been amusing to Mr. Cleveland to note the solemnity with which the committee announced to him the consummation of his plans, and he could hardly have failed to experi- ence a sense of his superiority in the evidence before him that he had brought a great party to his feet and compelled it to obey his will. The com- mittee will go through a similar formal- ity with Mr. Thurman at Columbus, O., on Thursday, when it i5 possible the bandana veteran will give out some- thing in the nature of a keynote. TiE commissioner of immigration of Dakota has issued avaluable crop report of th territory for the month of Mg The returns sent in by actual farme the various counties can for that re be relicd upon as faiv and impar statements. The report gives the con- dition of wheat, corn, oats, flax and barley inseventy-six counties. Although crops ave somewhat hackward owing to the late spring, they show in general a condition which promises the largest yield for yeavs. There is a decrease of the wh wrea us compared with luast year, and a marked increase of the acre- age planted in corn, onts and flax, 1 kota is pre-eminently a wheat countr as the report indieates, The condition of wheat is such as to warrant a nine- tenths erop, while the prospects for corn show a little over a half crop. m—————— PROMINENT PERSONS, Fred Douglass has a fortune of £00,000 and there are said to be more than one hundred colored men in Washington who are worth 25,000 01 mor Ex-President Rutherford B. 1 to have dramatized Scott's “Lady Lake'” when a boy of 19 und before he was a boy of 12 he had read through alt the plays of Shukespe General Gresham is said to be one of the worst dressed men in public life, His lack of friendship with the tailor, is u , how- ever, less apparent by bis handsome face and commanding figure, Jay Gould is said to have aged wonderfully within the last year.

Ho was the only one who showed any disappointment. He burst out with cheers when Harrison’ name was mentioned as the victor, but there was no heartiness in them. He looked almost pathetic as he rolled his oyes towards the man whom he admired so much, whom hie thought should have stood as the candi- date. Neither one of Mr. Blamne's daughters showed any more feeling than did their father, The correspondent then returned to the hotel, called on Mrs. Blaine, and told her the news, She said: “I am a little d(sn[mmlntc\l, but T'am glad it is over. I know Mr. Harri- son. Hois a very good man. He comes of a fine family, has a very good record as a political man. ¢ When I said I was disap- pointed T merely indicated a thought of my own, Iwould like to have scen Mr. Blaine nominated if it could have been done unani- mously, but not otherw Mr. Blaine did not desire to be the candidate, so that con- sideration was enough to sink all oue's per- sonal wishes." Mr. Blaine then returned to the Louse and prepared his telegram of congratulution to Harrison. e, N JULY FOURTH. Harrison Will then be Ofiicially Notl« fled of His Nomination.
