Opinions of De licans ol nocrats and Repub- the Tick The followwing ure the views of democrats and republicans conceruiug the ticket nom- inated Monda, Judge James W. Savage—The ti whole, is rather weak. ( is a good one and I was glad to hear of it He may pull through. Idon't join in tho hue and cry against Hascall. He's not the bad man they try to make out. I have had con sideruble dealing with him and have always found him to be houorable and upright in business affairs. Colonel Savage, who is nominated for the senate, is said to be a good man, too, but if the democrats put up the tickot they purpose it will sweep the county. Justice Gustave Anderson—Its a pretiy good ticket, and I think a good share of it will be elected. It 18 largely composed of young men of energy who would do good work in the legislature, and they ought to be sent there, L think there is no doubt of An- dreen’s election. On legislative and county ofices the voters will support candidates on their merits rather than for their politics. Coroner Drexel—It's good enough to knock down, and that's about all it was put up f The republicans toadicd to the clements, They nominated a negro and tricd to find o Chinaman. Then they put in Dutch, Irish and some of my own breed. Jeff Megeath—The republicans nominated some good and some poor men, but it's & pretty aair average ticket, 1 don't think any of them will be elected, unless the democrats make fools of themselves at their convention. Hascall will come nearest elec- tion of any, but I tuink even he will be ioft. County Agent Maboney—The ticket has elements of strength and elements of weak: ness. Andréen might be elected commis. sioner over almostany opponent but O'Keefe. Colonel Savage aud Erck will make a strong pull, but I think the democeats will nawe the winning ticket. Juage George Shields—There are two or three good men ou the ticket, but I doubt if any of them are strong enough to overcome the 1,000 majority in_Douging county. Yes, ifthe vote of South Omaha bo not sup pressed this year, the democrats will have 1,00 wmajority in this county. Erck and l’inkklun-u awong the strongest wen on the ticket County Clerk Roche—Savage is a mighty stroug man, and Ithink Hascall will run well. Mulhall and Morrison are strong, 0o, but tho balance of the ticket impresses me as weak, and 1 believe the democrats will suow it under, Deputy Sneriff Houck—You can put me down to vote the ticket from end to end. W. F'. Bechel—The ticket throughout s a good one, Gurley will make a strong pull for the part Ho is competent, and has an exteusive acquaintance, Then thers is Has- all wetl, you kuow. W. J.

B. Furay 1t It focuses all t uts in the party and will draw from ey ice. T. C. Bruner—Thére are too many light- weights on the ticket. There ought to be more men of large property interests, Juck Morrison—1 would wager that the re publicans would not elect more than five out of the fourteen nominated. 'That's all, K. Coutant—I think it will be elected t soe any reason why it shouldu't co. G, Squires—I haven't thought much about it. 1 hope it will be elected.

Ricusoxn, Va,, Oct. 17.—~The twenty-fifth annual iuternational convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was called to order this morning by Grand Chief Engineer Arthur. Various committees were appointed for the purpose of effecting a pre liminary organization, after which a recess was taken until 2:30 o'clock. About three hundred and ninety-seven delegates are present, and nearly four hundred visiting engineers aro already in the city, with more coming. After reconvening, addresses of welcome were made and Grand Chief Arthur de livered his unnual address. He said that thirty-two new divisions were established during the past yvear, giving a total member- ship of 25000 ‘membors. Regarding the brotherhood's recent strike, he said : “We have witnessed the 'severest conflict in the history of the brotherhood. namely, the strike on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system. Never in_our earliest days, when~ the powers then. in existence strove to _.crush us, have wo met with such stubborn resistance against simple right and justice. Kvery known ex- pedient was tried to bring about a settlement between the company and_the men, only to meet with the utmost iudifterence, and we were forced to yield to the inevitable and sanction the strike. Had either the presi- dent or general manager shown the slighte: disposition to treat the men fairly, as the managers of other roads have done, there would have been no strike. Surely there was no good cause why they should not pa; their engineers and firemen as much as their competitors. They both admiited that they had as good a clas of men as th were on anv road in the country. We know as a rule there is, noth- ing to be gained by resorting to strikes. They are the banes of every organization that en- ages in them, and entail misory and suffer- ing on innocent women and children. It is not, and never has been, the pelicy of either brotherhood to engage i them, Messrs. Perkins and Stone are the first railway oficials we have been unable to settle with during the past eloven years, and when we agreed to submit our claims to any threo general managers in Chi- ago and abide by their decision, and they were unwilling to do likewise, it showed they knew they were in the wrong.” Arthur said that he sbould never regard the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy -strike a failure except on the part of the road.” It would serve to purge the brotherhood of & dangerqgus element, and to add largely to its members. It was extremely mortifying, he said, to think that any member of the organ- ization should so far forget himself as to become involved in any scheme or piot to destroy life or property, . The brotherhood ondemns all acts of lawlessness und will punish the guilty IVER CAME. ites Mo- 1tion. e Nebraska and lowa Penstons.

Wasirsarox, Oct. 17.—The sccretary of the mterior to-day met the Sioux chicfs by appointment aud read and carefully ex- plained the change which the president had decided to recommend to congress provided the Indians signify their willingness to ac copt the law with the proposed amendments, Scerctary Vilas spoke for ubout two and one- half hours, fully explaining every point. He | complimented the Indians on thewr manly speeches, and declared that the government was deeply interested in their welfare. The proposed chanzes are The government will piace to the credit of the Indians §1 for every acre of land dis- posed of to homesteaders during the first three years after the passage of the law, and 75 cents per acre for all lands so disposcd of during the next two years, and 50 cents per e for all lands disposed of after tie expir- ation of these five years. Instead of §1,000,000 being now set apart for the benefit of the In- dians, £2,000,000 shall be so set apart, to draw inte: at 5 per cent, Out of this amount #20 shall bo paid each man, woman and child within six months from the passage of this act. This is in addition to the payments which the prasent act calls for. Instead of being supplied with oxen, the president pro- poses that each head of 'a family shall’ be supplied with a pair of American mares and a double harness, By the proposed amend- ment the Santees and Flandreaus are pre- vented from sharing with the Sioux in the proceads of the contemplated sale.

FRANKING PRIVILEGE ABUSES. His Signature to the Package in Ques. tion Pronounced a Forgery — Progress of the Debate. Senate. WasiiNGtos, Oct. 17.~Only eight repub. lican and ten democratic senators were present. ‘The house bill granting tha Aber- deen, Bismarck & Northwestern railway tho right of way across a portion of the Sioux rescrvorvation in - Dakota territory was Pass; The sonate, at 12:20, tion of the tariff b Mr. Teller, At the close of Teller's speech Mr. Allison offered a concurrent resolution for a recess of congress (rom Saturday next to November 10, After some discussion an objection was raised to a consideration of the resolution to- day, and therefore it went over till to- worrow. Mr. Morgan then procoeded to adaress the senate on tho tariff bill. He referred to Mr. Allison's recess adjournment as apiece of finesse to cover the death of the bill. The fact was that the republican senators did not intend to pass the bill now or hercafter. The senate bill was a mere masquerade of mo nopoly disguised in the innocent appearance of fair dealing and justice to the country. He quoted some statouients made by Mr. Beck, and declared with emphasis that the scnat of the United States was the subsidized slave of monopolists. Mr. Aldrich desired to make adenial of the statement made by Mr. Bock, but Mr. Mor- gan declined to yield because’ Mr. Beck was not present. Without action on the bill the senate ad Journes esumed considera and was addressed by WaASHINGTON, Oct. 17, before the house tweive pension veto nies sages and they were referred to the com mittee on pensions. Mr. Cox of New York, rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk’s desk and had read un editorial from the New York Tri bune of the 20th ult., entitled, “S. 8. Cox's Postal I'raud,” charging him with sending unfrankable matter through the mails under his frauk. Mr. Cox said he had gone to the Tribune ofice and had seen the editor and also the unfrankable package. It had his frank upon it in large letters, which he de claved a forgery. He asked the post- master general for an investigation The inspector found that the packuge was sent without Mr. Cox's authority and was forgery; that 1t did not appear that package which was sent to Mrs. Beebe, pos mistress at Appalachie, N. Y., was authorized to be mailed at either the national or state demoeratic headquarters in New York, and that the name of the forger could not be dis covered, as the Tribune refused to give up the package. Mr. Cox added that unfranka. ble matter’ had also been sent under the frauks of Congressmen Hovey, of Indiana, Kean, of New Jerscy, and Quay, of Peunsyl- vania. They were notified, and the first named repliad that the frank was unautior- ized by him. The other two had not yet piied. Mr. Cox said that he had brought the matter before the house with a view to hav ing some action taken which would prevent this violation of the franking privilege in the future. Unfrankable matter was still being sent out by Senator Quay and others, notwithstand- ing that the postmaster general had called attention to it. He had in his hand certain docuni ted to E. 1L Hurd of New berne, N. C., which were not frankable but bore the frank of Senator Quay. Continuing, Mr. Cox said that the Tribune had made him a handsome apology on the 30th ultimo. But the had siuce published a fac simile of the frank, reduced in size so that the signature was about the size of his own gignature. Hoe had no knowledge that his co league, Delano, who sent the package to the Tribune was mixed up in the business, He hoped he was uot Mr. Henderson of Towa said that he knew that Towa was flooded with documents such as were in the package to which Mr. Cox had referred. He did not know whether they were sent there under a frank or not, and suggested that the postmaster geucral had been swift to give republican illustrations, but had re- frained from giving democratic ones. Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania said~ that he was sorry that Mr. Cox reflected on Mr. Quay. The documents sent to Mr. Hurd of North Carolina were ex-reports from the Congressional Record, with sub-neads added. He did not think that this made the matter unfrankable. After a discussion, durg which it ap- pearea that other members of congress were sending out matter with sub-heads, the mat- ter dropped. Mr. Kilgore of Texas offered a resolution providing for final adjournment on the 20th inst., which was referred to the ways and means committee. The confercnce report was agreed to on the bill granting lands in severalty to the united Peoria and Miami bands of Indiaus, The Louse then adjourned The speaker laid Commends the Expenditure. The following letter is a reply to a sugges- tion by & correspondent, that the moncy raised for the celebration of the opening of the Omaha and Council Bluifs bridge should be devoted to the poor: It is strange, isn't it, that someone will always start up on such an oceasion and de- plore the waste of money not spent in buy- ing food for the poor. “(ould anything be imagined more nearly approaching the ridiculous than to nave the mayors of Omaha and Council Bluffs pro aim that, a cortain day being fixed npon to rate the opening of the bridwe, all the of the two cities could on that day meet ertd and receive ov one Ho How app Uhe is, course, w weant, but it should be remembered that the poor man, s well as the rich, has something beside his stomach to feed. As the rich man loves to spend his money’ to see theatrical and other displays so the poor man loves things which appeal to other sources than his appetite. We advise our friend to get up u purse and, on Thanksgiving duy when rich and poor alike are giving themselves up to festivitics, give to the poor his fifty cents worth of flour. But the bridge opening is a differgnt sort of thing. We all, rich and poor, want to see a display worthy of the oc casion, ana let the poor, instead of making themselves sick on one extra meal, come out in full force, “climb up to walls and towers, yea to chimney ops' and sce something they will like t0 taik about and remember, poor ata suggestion Mustang Liniment MEXICAN MUSTANG LIN) N\ 00 B0kSS, CAXED Bakaszy IMENT Is death to G °, ANOTHER CASE.
