A FREE ballot and a fair count first, last and all the time. ———— THE scratched ballot is more effective than the two-edged sword. See to it that when you deposit your vote it bears the nume of men who can look you in the face. SoME of Governor McShane’s slips have been sent to the wrong parties and can be had at this office if called for after olection and upon prompt pay- ment of this advertisemont. ———— WORKINGMEN in this coagressional district can rely upon W. J. Connell to voice their sentiments in the halls of congress regardless of the pressure which corporations may bring upon him. t— PATRICK EGAN’S manly letter ex- plaining the pardonsof Governor Thayer in the case of two men sentenced for murder is eminently satisfactory and disproves the attacks made upon the governor. E—— THE Lincoln Journal tries to create the impression that the legislative record which THe Ber has published and reprints again is an attempt to blackmail every man who voted agninst Van Wyck. It is hardly necessary to #ny that this is not true. The listspeaks for itself. It shows that the standing of members was not gauged by their votes on the senatorial issue, but on their general conduct ag law makers and representatives. THE latest trustworthy advices from Jowa give promise that that state will &ive Harrison 8 larger plurality than it gave Blaine, which means more than twenty thousand. The republican state ticket will be elected by pluralities somewhat less than the national ticket will receive, while on railroad commis- sioners it 1 expected that the plurality will be still less. Itisthought the re- publicans will gain one congressman, and perhaps two. The party is harmo- nious and enthusiastic on the national ticket, and has made large gains. eer———— TRE figures of the mineral cutput of the United States for the past yoar, as given in the report ef David T. Day of the division of mining statistics of the geological survey, illustrate the won- derful’ wealth of this couatry. The total value of all minerals raised last year was five hundred and thirty-eight million dollars, which, while not the greatest in amount ever raised, was one hundred million dollars in excess of the output of any other country, and leaving out England, was greater than that of all Burope put together. Truly ¢his is a marvelous country, and its vast nesources are still far from being fully developed. — “Tug Herald would be singularly derelict if it failed to notice the treachery and treason of those demo- erats who voted for Van Wyck: in the allot for Uaited States senators.”— maha Herald, January 22, 1887. “w * P * Frank Morrissey on the Oinaha.

To-morrow the great political parties will confront each other at the ballot box, and in all probability within forty-eight hours thereafter the world will know the dict of the American people on the | issues involved in the contest, It has been a most vigor- ous and hotly contested campaign, and on the part of tho republicans con- ducted without a single serious mis- take. Looking back to the days of doubt and apprehension that pre- ceded the meeting of the re- publican national convention, when thousands of staunch republicans were almost hopeless of the future, the stu- dent of politics will find some reason to wonder at the extraordinary vitality and aggressive forea which the party has since exhibited and the splendid position it now occupies on the eve of the real battle. Everywhere the re- publican party is scon to be compact, harmonious, enthusiastic and confident. Tts distinguished candidate and leader has borne himself with a dignity and wisdom that have commanded the hearty admiration of the party amnd the respect of all men. In all that he has said or done he has jus- tified the wisdom of his selection and given the amplest assurance of his ability for the duties of the presidential office. The other great party leaders who have taken part in the canvass have performed eminent and honorable service, They have appealed to the popular intelligence and reason, and rarely before were the people so gener- ally disposed to listen. Tt has been on the whole a clean campaign, though truth requires it to be said that what- ever departure there has been from the purpose to make it such a campaign the democratic party has been guilty of. Reviewing what has been accom- plished, and weighing earefully the conditions as they are presented, the conviction {8 irresistible that the chauces of winning in to-morrow’s bat- tle are with the repubhican party. We can see no reason why every state that gave its electoral vote to that party four years ago shall not do so this year, and if there is an honest vote and a fair count in New York and Indiana these states will be in the republican column this year. There is a reason to appre- hend, however, that democratic corrup- tion will not be absent from these states, and particularly from the former. It is well kmown that for the pust month the democratic national committee has been accumulating a fund, the only object of which now can be for use in buying the saleable vote of the doubtful states, colonizing, and in whatever other corrupting ways may promise advantage. Republican vigi- lance may not be able to fully circum- vent the evident purpose of the demo- cratic managers in this respect, but the knowledge that they are suspected and will be most carefully watched will very likely put such a check upen their designs that the results will be far less to their advantage than they have counted upon. Unless all signs aro misleading, democratic fraud and corruption will have to overcome a probable plurality of from fifteen tu twenty thousand in New York and ten thousand in Iadiana, and this is a greater task than they can probably ac- complish under surveillance. The country will have no rogrots that the campaign is ended. 1t has inter- fered less than has been the uniform experience hitherto with the business affairs of the nation, but to wnearly everybody it had become somewhat tedious and wearisome. The American people have a greater fondness for politics than any other people, but a five months’ campaign is a severe tax upon their patience from which they will gladly accept relief. We would not undervalue the importance of republi- can victory in the nation to-morrow, but whatever the decision of the people shall be, the government will continue with all its fumctione unimpaired, and our marvelous ecountry will not halt in the march toward the accomplishment of its great destinv. —— AS TO FRAUDULENT TICKETS. The laws of this state prohibit the printing and distribution of fraudulent election tickots and expressly provide that the name of any person inserted under a party head in the place of any vominee of that party shall not be counted for that particular candidate. This is clear enough with regard to the printing of bogus tickets or mixed tickets under the regular party head, but there is a difference of opinion among eminent lawyers with regard to the use of election pusters. Attorney General Leese is quoted as giving the opinion that a printed paster is not legal. In other words it cannot be counted for the candidate whose name appears on the paster, although the candidate whose name has been cov- ered by the paster loses that vote. There are others who hold that the law prohibiting bogus tickets does not contemplate © nor cover printed slips pasted upon a regular party ticket. - On this point THE BER would advise all votersto take the safe side and use: no printed slips. As to written pasters there can bo but one legal opinion.. The object. of the law prohibiting fraudulent ticket printing is to prevent deception of the ignorant or credulous voter. No deeeption is possible where the name of any candi- date appears in writing instead of in print. No voter unless he be blind ecan fail to notice the difference between priuting and ordinavy handwriting. 1f it is contraryto his intention to vote a mixed ticket, he can prooure a printed ticket. If it is his intention to vote agninst a particular candidate his right to paste a written slip over the printed name cannot be called in questiom by any court of justice. As to the legality of mixed tickets there can be no coutroversy, providing always such tickets are not printed uns der the regular party head. It is per- fectly legitimate to peint tickets made up to suit any group of voters -under headings that plaioly show them to be irregular. For instance, there can be question astQ legality of printing or peddling tickets | They == IRE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 5. 1888 headed “Independent,” or *‘Independ- ent Republican,” or “Farmers’ and Me- chanies’,” or *‘Democratic Working- man's,” or “Mugwump.” No pretense of deception or fraud would hold good in regard to tickets of that desceiption. have been voted in this city at every election since the bogus ticket law went into effect, and have always been counted the same as any straight party ticket. A free ballot and an honest count of every vote is the corner-stone of our re- publican government. CANDIDATES, FACE YOUR RECORD. Up to date the [ollowing members of the Inst legislature have been renomi- nated. Each of these men has made his record and should stand or fall by it. For the benefit of their constituents we reprint the summary of our legislative list of 1887 relative to each of the can- didates: J. L. Linn, renominated for the sen- ate from Richardson and Pawnee coun- ties, was disposed to do right, but was hampered by his grain elevator and made unreliable by his political affilia- tions. Dr. H. B. Bonesteel, from the hth senatorial district, acted in accord with the wishes of his constituents on the senatorial issue, but after the senatorial contest allied him- self with the jobbers and railrogues. His conduct became a matter of general scandal. S. N. Wolbach of Hallshowed himself throughout a ¢ r headed and reliable representati He resisted to the ut- most the intense pressure brought upon him by corporate and local influences, and remained true to the trust reposed in him., J. M. Raymond,a member of the last house but now nominated for the senate from Lancaster county, was the only representative from Lancaster in the house who was in no way tied up with jobs and steals, and whose skirts are perfectly clean from the taint of corrup- tion. F. M. Witherald, also in the last house aud now a candidate for the senate from the Twenty-third district, was a very itelligent and upright member, whose votes were given fearlessly for the re- striction of corporate monopoly and against extravagant appropriations. Charles R. Keckley, renominated for the senate from York and Fillmore counties, achieved more than ordinary prominence, and made a gallant, manly and unswerving fight for the people from first to last. J. P. Lindsay, candidate for the sen- ate from the Twenty-ninth district, is a railroad attorney, and through this in- fluence became more or less iavolved in the support of bad measures which the railroad lobby had contracted to pull through. But Mr. Lindsay is not a boodter, as far as we could observe. M. Higgins, in the last senate from Cass, and now a candidate for the house, stood as firm as a rock against all blandishments of corporate mionop- oly and boodlers. His constituents have reason to be well satisfied with him, and may trust him in every instance a being loyal to their interests. Thomas J. Majors, also in the last senate, and now a candidate for the house from Nemuha, disappointed his best friends, by adopting the peculiar tactics of Church Howe. He studiously kept up appearances of decency, but was nearly always to be found in the under- current with the worst men in the le, lature. N. M. Satchell, of Cass, proved him- self to be reliable, steadfast and honest. Edwin Jeary, of the same county, was a very intelligent, painstaking and faithful memb er. John C. Watson. of Otoe, made a good fight during the senatorial contest, but found himself in the railroad camp be- fore the session was half over. His in- fluence as & leader was rather pernie cious than otherwise, more especially in connectipn with appropriation “‘com- bines.” G. F. Keiper was one of the most well-informed, clear-headed and reli- able men in the legislature. He has a very exemplary record. Matthew Miller may be regarded a sort of back-slider on the railroad issue. While enjoying general confidence he dodged many important questions and votes. J. L. Caldwell was a frothy fraud without a single redeeming quality. For further particulars remember THE BEE’S explanation of charges against judiciary committee. J. W. Dickinson, as one of the répre- sentatives of Lancaster county, made a tolerably fair record considering that he was tied down to trades with jobbers and claimants in exchange for votes on appropriation bills. S. A. Truoesdell, of Thayer, was in the main honest and reliable. J. R. Ballard was among the truest and ‘most faithful men in the legisla- ture, and made an excellent record throughout. John H. Dempster was oune of the most clear-headed, fearless and faithful ropresentatives in the house. He talked and voted his convictions and lived up to his obligations. Otto Abrahamson is in the main hon« est, but easity misled by political usso- ciates who trained -with the railroad and jobbers' lobby. O. G. Bafleyis an honest, straightfor- ‘ward man who stood by Van Wyck from beginning to end and nearly always voted right, but was often subject Yo much pressure by the railyoad banker- 1obbyist, Bostwick. B. M. Simms vepresented the wishes of his constituents with fidelity from be- ginning to end, J.T. Yutzy was commonplace, uncers tain and unreliable. ‘William Fenton played into the hands of the railroads and jobbers whenever his vote was wanted. Jose ph C. Gilmore is a man of more than ordinary ability, and his recoed this time was as good as it was at the sossion ton years ago, whea he was knowun as honest Joe Gilmore. Johm H. Cameron is mot & wan of many words, but he always steed upand voted for the right sud may be de- pended on. Watson Tysou was always at his post as an unflinching advocate of the best interestel the people. - ‘ renominated William H. Diller was a double- ender, playing fast and loose between the lines, not depended on. Franklin Swdbt was very quiet, but always could depended on. to go wrong at the critidul time. He always trained with thg corporation gang aud the jobbers. " Frank E. White isa railrond man, but upon ail u‘l‘l’ i=sues he was thov- oughly straight] . William G. Bently was a quiet, firm, and intelligen§ member. Iis integrity is unim peacha Ennd his record good. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. The attempt to carry the state elec- tion by wholesale bribery should be resisted at all hazards. The legitimate expenses of a campaign do not contem- plate the downright purchase ol votes. It will be a sorcy day for this state when offices can be bought and sold in the open market. No honorable man can afford o accept an office socured by the corruption of the voters, and no vote precured by bribery should be counted for him, The constitution of Nebraska requires every state officer and every member of the legislature to take and subscribe an oath that he has not paid any money or given any valuable thing to any elector to influence his vote in his election. No man who buys votes ean take such an oath without committing perjury, and no candidate with a conscience will place himself in the position to be com- pelled to commit perjury on the very day he assumes the office. Er—— FENTON'S GALL. Mr. William Fenton, candidate for re-election to the legislature from Richardson county, has the sublime gall to publish an open letter to his constituents, in which he tries to hum- bug them into the belief that he was faithful and true to the people in the legislature, and is now the victim of blackmail at the handas of THE BEE be- cause this paper has seen fit to repub- lish his standing in the last legislature. Why didn’t Fenton challenge a discus- sion of his record vhen it was fivst published in THE BEE at the close of the session? ‘Why did he call at this office some six weeks ago and ask that he be given an- other chance to do better? Would any editor who had money enough to buy a suit of clothes want to blackmail a cheap fellow like Fenton? Does he imagine anybody who kept track of him in the legislature and saw him cheek- by-jowl with the oil room gang night and day, ean ho hoodwinked by clap- trap about his vote to sell the saline lands to the Linooln stock yards syndi- cate which already! had a fifty-year lense on them? ‘That deal was a palpa- ble job which TnK; BEE opposed in the interest of the state.: Fenton voted for it just as he did for othor jobs that were supported by the rings which controlled the last legislature —— CLARKE OF SARPY. The editor of Tus Bss has his likes and dislikes, like othen men, and his prejudices often warp his judgment and detract from his influenco. Mr. Harry D. Clarke, the re- publican nomince for representative in Sarpy county, falls under the ban of his paper, Mr. Clarke probably has simply fai some time, to do what Mr. Rosew quested--which is no more, doubtl he has refused to do for other men. thercfore is mot the only victim of a man who has independence enough to say “Nd." —Republcan. The editor of Tuk BEE has never asked Clarke for a favor, and has none toask of him now. Clarke has been tried in a former legislature and he betrayed his trust. He has plenty of money and little or no principle. He peddled democratic pasters two years ago for the B. & M. railroad, and is en- titled to no support from republicans. He procured his nomination this time against the wishes and interests of the party by boodle methods, and defeated better men for the place he seceks. The proper and only way to get rid of such methods and such irrepressible place- seekers is to defeat them at the polls, Clarke may own half of Sarpy county but he should be taught that Sarpy county voters are not his chattels, e Little Wads.

Will the world ever know what depths of tenderness there wus in the heart of Abraham Lincoln? An aneccdote which has never been published brings out one more instance in which his svmpathies, awakened by a little child nobly controlled his action. In one of the first skirmishes of the civil war a young union soldier was so severely wounded in the leg that the limb had to be amputated. On leaving the hos- pital the young soldier, by the aid of in- fluentiul gentlemen, abtained a position as u government weigher of hay and grain. Not long after he had entered upon his'duties his superior officer said to him: “See hero, Mr. M-—, this weighsso much on these scales, but to the government it weighs so much more. "’ “I do not understand, sir, that way of doing business. I ean enter but one weight, and that is the correct one,” answered the young weigher, His superior walked away, uttering threats. The young man from that day suffered many petty persecutions for his honesty. and it was not long before he received. notice that the government had no further need for his service. The summary dismissal made him so down-hearted that when he told the story to his family he seemed a man without hope. ““Father,” replied the oldest daughter, a girl of thirteen, “‘cheer up! I am go- ing to see Presidént Lincoln. I know he will make it all right.” Her father and mother tried to turn her purpose, saying that it would be useless to see the president, as he would not attend to such a petty matter as the dismissal of a weigher of grain. But her faith in the president’s sense of justice was so strong that she went to the White House, and, after three days of patient waiting in the ante- room, was admitted to Mr. Lincoln’s presence. The hour for receiving visitors had nearly expired, and as she entered the room the president, throwing himself on a lounge, v, “Well, my little givl, what can I do for you?” She told her artless story. Mr. Lin- coin listened attentively, d with a smile asked, ‘“‘But how, my w your statement is true? President,” answered the girl ergy, ‘‘you must take my word hay veplied the president, and taking her hand. to Mr. Stanton.” “Stanton,” said Mr. Lincoln, as they ed the offico of the great war sec- ¢, I wish you would hear this rising “Come with me worked man. “But you must,” replied Mr. coln, “[have uot a moment to spave to-day, Mr. President.™ “Come again, my dear and My, Stanton will hear you then,” said the president, leading her away. The next d she was adwitted at once to the president, who took herover to Mr. Stanton’s office. The secretary listened to the child’s simple story and was so moved by it that he indignantly exclaxmed before she had finished, “The infernal rascal!” He went to hisdesk and wrote an orvder for the immediate dismissal of the dishonest official and for the appointing the little girl’s father to the vacant place. Mr. Lincoln never forgot the child. He told her story to several congross- men, and through their influence her two brothers were enrolled among the pages of the house of representatives.

POLITICS IN LANCASTER, Mootings to Be Held All Over tho County To-Night, SUNDAY GUESTS AT THECAPITAL, Laying of the Corner Stone of the New German Catholic Church ~General and Personal Notes, LiNcoIN BURRAU oF TAr OMAnA Bas, 1020 P STREET, } LiNcoLN, Nov. 4 The campaign closes 1n Lancaster county to-morrow night with meetings at Hickman, Malcolm, Lmerald, Sal- tillo, Denton, West Lincoln, Davy, Firth, Lancaster and Waverly. Inspir- ation seems to move the people in this part of the hevitage in u political way. Ttis hard to supply the demand for speakers for the closing night of the campaign. From the fivst the draft has been heavy upon speaking talent, and the boys are well nigh worn out; but they respond to the last eall cheerfully, and some of the very best meotings of the campaign will be held at the points designated for the closing work., In the report of the monster republi- can ratly at this place last mghy Tar BeE neglected to mention the magnifi- cont speech made by Rev. J. K. Tate. His dissection of the Omaha Herald's cartoon was especially happy, although severe and caustic, and his apprecia- tion was so plain that demoerats could not be otherwise than ashamed of the folly of their organ and mouthpicce. The paper’s cartoonist represented in Friday’s issue the flag of England float- ing upon land and sea, free. while the stars and stripes werc unfurled to the breeze as taxed to death. Until twenty- two years of age the speaker stated that he had resided in England, and cited the fact that colonies of his peoplo could be found all over the union who had fled from_the terrors of free trade al aid labor. *‘Not one of uid the orator, “cares to return to that kind of freedom.” Continuing, i 5 cartoonist telly <ed truth in picture. Demoeracy caters to the desire of PEngland and would reduce laborers and wage-earners of protected America to alevel with the pauper paid labor of Europe.” A wager of 850 was made here yostor- day by a saoguine democratthat Me- Shane would go out of Douglas county with 8,000 votes majority more than ho polled over Church Howe two years ago. Captain Payne and Walt M. Seeley joined hands and covered the proposed bet. It wa and the stranger had too much norve to back out, or he is a novice in Nebraska politics. A number of wag- ers have been made of $25 to $100 that hayer will be elected by 10,000 major- Some of our conservative repub- licans are confident that his majority will fall very little short of what it was two years ago. His majority in Lan- caster county is placed at 1,200 to 1,500 votes over MeShane. The contemplated onslaught upon Astorney Geueral Leese by the railroad strikers and bummers is watched here from every quarter. There is no tell- ing what the outcome will be if this deal is commenced. He is by long odds the strongest man on the ticket in Lan- caster county, and Laws and Benton will suffer really more than Leese pos- sibly can. The republicans of this pro- pinquity do not love Laws any too well at best. Any treachery to Leese will bo resented at the point of the bayonet. There is no longer any foar of the legislative ticket. Hall" will be seratchea somewhat to make Kelly, but 10 no great degree. MeBride's election is conceded. Severine, Dickinson and Caldwell will come in on the home stretch smiling and happy. Raymond and Beardsley, for the senate, will run on a dead level if not ahead of the ticket. Butler’'s assault upon Ray- mond has strengthened him with the party and floating vote. His charges were so absurdly false that they reacted to his benefit. The house journals tell the story of how he stood too well whila in the legislature two ycars ago for the voters to be deceived. As a eitizen and business man of Lancaster county he stands side by side with the best. His legislative record is remarkably clean. LINCOLN'S SUNDAY GUESTS At the Capital—W. C. Potter, Chi- cago; M.

Rov, Bishop Bonacumn with all the ceremony and splendor due to the occasion. 1t § the first time that the bishop has ha the happiness to perform this ceremony since his residence in this diocese.

Noticeable among the gather- ing wero the governor, mayor and-gen« tlemen comprising the city council. The church will be a monument to the memory of Reve Father Roth, who has assiduously devoted his time to thoe building of the new church, that his countrymen of kindred faith might have a religious house of their own. The building when finished will be a magnificent structurd, a credit to tho city, and especially to the German Catholics who have so generously do- nated for its building. CITY NEWS AND NOTRS.

KINGS AND QUEENS, ‘The crown prince of Greece is liveral In his idoas of statccraft, and mingles with the people in a democratic fashion, King Khoulalonkorn sends bis royal brother of China as a wedding present a big gold footstool studded with large rubies, The gift is called worth $200,000, King Humbert's gift to Emperor William was quite unique, beiog a series of models of the remains of the men, women,children and anunals in the famous Pompeilan museum. Emperor William is said to be an inveter: ate smoker of cigurettes, smoking even at meals betweon the courses. Ho eats but lit- tle and seldom driuks wine, but takes quane tities of tea. ‘The queen of Italy, Margherita the beautts ful, who is now touring about the interior of her kiugdom, it is said, keeps an American dentist always at hand to look after her royal teeth, which are among the fluest fu Europe. Queen Victorla, it is said, will not lot her maids of honor accept the £50,000 loft them by the late Lord Sackville. In that event the money will go to the Hritish minister at Washington, who, poor man, needs soms- thing to consolo him just now. Prince Bismarck's residence at Frederichse ruhe is an appearance common and insiguifi- cant. A red brick wall separates it on threa sides from the road, and on the fourth it is bounded by a dirty little river. The princie vle entry is a wooden door, which might fitly belong to a stable. Quoen Victoria is not a believer in_super- stitions; at least, she has no faith in the gen- cral opinion that'the gift of an opal bears ill luck to the owner.
