STEVENSON was the headsman of the Cleveland administration, Now the people will bo the headsman of the Ste- venson campaign. THE democratic convention was inso- lent to the New York delegation, and New York will be avenged for that in- solence in Novembor, THE protectionist democrat will never vote for a free trade candidate and an altra free trade platform. It is the death of the democratic party. BY ALL means let all Omahans cele- brate the Fourth of July. This is a celebration year for America and Omaha should be as loyal as any other city. THESE are big days for the Folsom family. ‘‘Uncle Ben'? sold his lot in Omaha for 100,000 and nephew Grover was nominated by the democrats on the aext day. LEADERS of all Jabor organizations and fratornal societies of every kind should attend the meoting to perfect preliminary arrangements for a grand Fourth of July celebration. MANUFACTURING makes a city and it looks as if Omahna were not as am- bitious for factories proportionately, as some qf the smaller Nebruska cities, We need and must have more factories.

The very circumstances wore ominous. NEW YORK insulted in the choice for president, the western states hissed in their appeals for silver and the paople of America asked to give up their mar- kets for England’s good: DId ever the democratic party present to the country # sorrier spectacle or more egregious blunders? Buck KiLGore, having kicked down 0 baize door and attempted to defeat Shorman’s statue at Washington, has made a third grasp for fame by attempt- ing to make a puatomime spoech in con- gross, waiving his arms and saying nothing. This was probubly the ablest effort of his lifo. — THERE are two distinguished men of Des Moines now in deep mourning. Both are wisor men today. Each took in his meuth more thun be could chew. One indulged & laudable ambition and his party lnughed at him: the other fed an appetite for revenge, but finully fell outside the broastworks. ——— UNDOUBTEDLY there will be nomoro in- teresting event in Om iha this year than tho visit in August of the Shriuers and Knights Templar. Several thousand of those distinguished members of the Masonie fraternity will be here, and it is most desirablo that thoy be, yenerously eutertained. The hospitality extended to these visitors will do more to extend the reputation of Omaha for liborality in matters of this kind than anything else of the year, and the opportunity to improve our good name in this 1espect must not boe lost. The domand it will maukeo upon our people is not large and :tl-hould be wmet promptly and cheer- ully, THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, 3rover Cleveland is for the third time the candidate of the democratic party for prosident of the United States. Al though without a single vote in the con- vention from his own state and relent- lessly fought by its delogation, the president secured the nomination on the first ballot with votes to spare. Lt was a victory of which Mr. Cleveland may pardonably feel proud, and which re- flects eredit upon the enargy, skill and devotion of his friends. Whitney and Dickinson and Vilas have repaid Cleve- land for the honors he bestowed on them when fromi comparative political obscurity he elovated them to cabinet positions. There are others whose de- votion has imposed obligations on him which in all probability he will never be able to repay. Tt is porhaps unnecsssary to consider minutely the several cxplanations of this result of one of the most inharmoni- ous political convontions in the history of the country. The intelligent student of polities will readily find one of them in the fuct that the democracy hus no leader whose apparent availability is equal to that of Mr, Cleveland. It has abler men, ns Carlisle for example, but they are not in the right section of the country to bo available ns prosidentisl candidates, and it could not be convine- ingly claimed in behalf of any northern democrat that he would be more popular anywhere than Cloveland. Tt was urged by the friends of the ex-president that if Lie could not carry any of the doubtful states, including New York. noother democrat eould do 0, and the support- ers of other candidates wore unable to domonstrate that this position was not sound and tenable. The course of Hill had made him im- possible, and none of the other men talked of inspived confidence. Then there was a very general disposition to rebuke the arrogance of Tammany and the wothods which that eloment of tho New Yo'k democracy had adopted. This was plainly manifested throughout the proceedings of the conventien. It is rather creditable to the representatives of the democracy that they refused to countenanco the course of the ITill faction, Mr. Clevelund, moreover, stands pro-eminent in the regard of democrats ns the exponent of the idea of tarifl reform—an idea thut is by no menans original with him, and which neither he nor any other democrat has ever clearly defined or giver practical application. It was tho very, general view nmong democrats that the logic of the situption demanded the nomination of Cleveland. No well informed man will pretend that Grover Cleveland is stronger be- fore the country now than he was four years ago. There is not a yalid reason for assuming that he can carry any state in 1892 that he lostin 1888, On the contrary there is reason to believe that the list of democratic states in the last president election will be reduced two or three in the olection this year. The policy of which Mr. Cleveland is the most conspicuous representative was freshly submitted to the peopls in 1888 and was overwhelming rejected. Inview of the progress and increased prosperity of the country it cannop rensonibly be supposed to have grown in popular favor since that time. The business of the country is moving for- ward peacefully and prosperously, and there is no demand and no good reason fora change that would unsettle and disturb every department of trade ana industry. Therefore the meaningless ery of taviff reform, ns made by the democratic party, will have less in- fluence with the great body of intelli- gent votera this year than it did four yeurs aga. The same conditions that gave the electoral vite of New York to the re- publican presidential candidates in 1888 still prevail, but they are 1intensified. T he democratic factionai conflict in that state has made wounds that will not heal. Cleveland is weal’er in New York now than he was four years ago when he received the nomination and there is no probability that he will make any material gain as the campaign pro- gresses. Itisan absurd claim that he ) carry.any western or northwestern state, and if there is uny debatable silver state it will be more likely to go repub- lican than democratic, X CLEVELAND AND HIS ENEMIES The reluctance of the majority in the Chicago couvention to take the anti- Cleveland men at their word seems very strange, in view of the fact that Tim- many uever hus violated its plgfiges. It would be impossible to point to a single instance in which Tammany has been falso to its professions of foalty or oppo- sition to the candidates of the demo- cratic party. In this case it very clearly makes known its antagonism to Mr. Cleveland. The speaches of Mr. DeWitt, Mr. Cockran, Mr. Fellows and otbers bristle with points indicative of this antagonism. It is significant that the opposition of the anti-Cloveland men in the state of New York to the candidate of the party is not wholly based upon considerations of expedi- on They hate Mr. Cleveland bit- Lurlv. and they did not hesitate to give exprossion to that hatved in the conven- tion. When men like Bou-ke Cockran, W. C. DeWitt, John R. Fellows, Gen- eral Sicktes and others who wield powerful influonce in the state of New York are united in an expression of an- tagonism to the nominee of their party itis safe to conclude that they mean something, Nodemocratic candidate has ever carried the Bmpire state without the nctive uid of the forces which these mgn represent. A united party is abso- lutely necossary to democratic success in that state, and even when the dem- ocracy is united it is fair fighting ground. 1t would be difiicult to exaggerate the intensity of the antagonism of Tammany toward Grover Cleveland. Itis founded upon something more than the defeat of the Hill forces in vhe convention. If Cloveland and Hill had been rival can- didates under ordinary conditions, the winuer would have baen cordially sup- ported by the loser and the rivalry would have been lost sight of as soon as the choico was made, But in this case the successful candidute and his sup- porters iu his own state have made wur upou Hill wud Tamwany hall, A wore | bitter and aggressive onslaught could | not havé boen made by the Cleveland | men upon the republican party than | they have mude upon the friends of Senator Hill. They have denvunced the Hill mon in terms that could not have | been expected to produce uny other feel- | ing than the savage resentment shown | at Chicago. They organized themselves | us thoonly regular representatives of the democracy of Now York and held a stute convention of their own at which they clected delegates to the national convention and adopted resolutions ox- prossive of. their contempt of the men who then held and still hold in their handsthe democratic machinery of their state. If the Tammany men were some- thing more or less than human they might forget during this campaign that they have been treatod as a pack of po- litical thugs fit only to be o st out and ignored by the element of the party which assumes to represeny all that is truly good in politics. But the utter- ances of the Hill men at Chicago prove that they are by no means disposed to submit quietly and take the medicine offered them with professions of delight. Their speakers did not hesitate to say that the opponents of Cleveland in New York would put him to death at the polls. Every one of the Hill speakers breathed threatenings and slaughter. It is significant, too, that the threats were made when it was plainly apparent that Cleveland would be nominated and that Hill was entirely out of the race. No demoeratic candidate for the presi- dency was over confronted by a more certaia prospect of defeat at the hands of his own purty than Grover Cleveland is now. The republicans have reason to be perfectly satisfied with the, outlook. ORDERLY CONVENTION, democratic hational convention’ iicago was perfectly in line with traditions of the party, and did nov behe the predictions of those who said that it would be stormy. In the whole history of the democratic party there has never been a convention in which there was shown a more bitter antagon= 1sm than was shown an Chicago. The hostility of the' factions was not con- trolled by considerations of policy, but was given full sway without regard to consequences, The republican convention at Min- neapolis presents a striking contrast to the Chicago convention in many re- speets, but chiefly in regard to the behavior of the delogates. At Chicago aman who cheered for Cleveland was in danger of being assaultel, and the opponents of the ex-president ran the samo risk when they gave expression to their feclings. At Minneapolis a man could say what he plensed without plucing himself in danger of personal injury. The scenes of disorder at Chicago as described by the corre- gpondents who witnessed them were simply riotous. Enthusiasm is always permissible, but the demonstrations of factional feeling at Chicago went be- yond the bounds of reason. Any man who cheered for Hill or Cleveland hare was in danger of being assaulted. Republican conventions have always been decorous and decent and fres from the feeling which finds expression in riots and personal encounters. There is a difference between the elements which compose the two parties. History proves that republican conventions can do their work without disturbances, while the democrats always need strong police force to preserve order. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The platform promulgated at Chicago covers a wide range of subjects. It will be suflicient at this time to consider ounly those which will counstitute the leading issues inthe impending cam- paign. The tariff plank, apart from its platitudes regarding the objocts of tax- ation, is essentially a plea for free trade, and this is not conceuled by the pretense of a desire to protect the interests of labor. Inthe unqualified denunciation of the tarifl policy under which, during the past quarter of a century, the nation has made the most remarkable material progress in the wotld’s history, there is shown the real sentiment of the democratic party regarding the system of Amevican pro- tection, The course of the majority in the present house of representatives in attacking the tariff in the interest of free trade is heartily commended, and the promise is held out to the country that, if successful in obtaining control of the logislative departments of the government, the democratic party will repeal the present tariff law. 1t does not propose, be it understood, to reyise the law with a view to correct- ing any defects that may exist in it, and remedying any inequalities incident to it, but to wipe it out altogether, Whether it would give the country in place of it somo such measure as the Mills bill or whether the democracy has any intelligent and practicable plan to substitute for the present tariff, the platform does not state. Tho tariff plank sontaing soveral assertions which are contrary to well known facts, and the falsifying of which there will be ample ‘opportunity hereafter to show. Reciprocity is denounced us a sham, in fuce of the fact that it has enabled us to regain old markots and opsn new ones for our meats and breadstuffs and to in- crease our foreign commerce $75,000,000 within u year. On the question of silver coinage, which proved to be quite'ns knotty and perploxing as had been oxpectod, tho platform is likely 10 be confusing to the average democratic mind, and doubtless was intended to be. The act of 1800 is denounced us a cowardly makeshift, when everybody knows that it was o compromise to avert free coinage and wus the best that could bs done at tho time to check the movement in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. It hus added largely to the curvency of the country and thus far has had no evil effects, but it has not accomplished what was hoped for in raising the price ofsilver. That isnot the fault of the law, but of the increased production of silver. The demand that gold and silver shall be coined on equal torms means that the profit which aow £oes to the government from the coinage of silver shull be taken by the producer of that metal, which would bv no more just than would be the payment by theMgovernment to the farmer or any o a class of n profit in oxcess of the market price of their pro- ducts. All pulliy agree that both gold and silvor sho. used 'as monoy and that they shoulth8# kept at a parity, but this condition id not be maintained with the free add unlimited cownage of ,und that' is the policy which a arge |n.\]m~n.v of tho democratic party want, lat them n,«'n\'u«, and becloud the question as they will. As to the adjust- ment of a rafs fhrough international agresment, that'is just what the repub- lican ndministration is endeavoring to do, and as yet it has received no en- couragement from any free silver demo- crat in congress Tho Amoerican systom of protection with reciprocity and the question of free silver coinage will be tho issues of the campiign, and the republican party is prepared to give thom tho fullest possi- ble discussion before the, people. —— SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT. The signs of an active revival of the prospetity of Omaha are w be met with on every hand. Thore is doveloping a greater interest in ronl estite, agents generally reporting that within tho pust fow weaks the inguiries havo been more numerous than at any provious time for o year. Natueally the market has grown firmer and the foeling of con- fidence in the future has strengthened. "he indication; thit a considerable amount of the idle capital in the bunks of Omaha will bofore long find invest- ment in this dircction, as well in making improvements and establishing enterprises which will ba a source of permanent benefit to the city. It is not to be doubted that this re- awakening of the snivit of enterprise amonyg our own people, the better dis- position of outside capital to look to Omaha for safe and profitable investe ment and the improved faith in the fu- ture materinl progress of thiscity which these things evidence are to be ns- cribed very largely to the wise action of the people in ug their approval to tho Nebraska Central project. The as- surance that within the next few yoears from $6,000,000 to 33,000,000 will lm ex- pended in carrying out this project, and that when completed Omaha will “have railvond facilities surpassed by no othe westorn city, and permanent improve- ments of great value, naturally induces capital to avail itself of the very favor- avte opporfunity that now offers for real estate i rent that will certainly bring e tuens in the near futur Its effect must also bo to conduce 1o ex- pansion in nearly all departments of en- terprise. The packing interests, es- lly, which will be given access to a much lurger territory for supplies than they now have, are alveady projecting a material extension’of their capacity. Having declared their determination to be relieved from the restrictions 1m- posed by a monopoly, the people of Omuhasee their way clear to the attain- ment of tho progress and prosperity which this city should realize by reason of its location in the center of one of the most productive portions of the country, and with confidence restored are al- ready beginning to-renew the enter- priso which in former years gavo this vigorous and substantial growth ssed by any other city in the WHATEVER may be the merits of the disagreement between the Board of I3ducation and the taxpayers of South Omaha as to the tax levy proposed for school purposes, it is certainly a good sign that the demand for educational advantages in that community is more than keeping pace with the growth of the - income from fines and licen Heretofore the revenue from this source has supported the schools and no tax for this purpose has ever been levied since the corporation was created. The school fund from this source this year will be $35,000, and there is now in the treasury $6,000 available for the same purpose, and yot the demand for new school buildings has become so great that the outlay for education is nolonger to e limited to the income 3NSH By whatever means the money is raised, South Omaha is to be congratulated upon the conditions which require more schools, Progress in that direction should kesp puce with her rapid growth in population, XPRESSIONS that come to Thr BEp ardipg the proposea celebration of the coming Fourth of July are uniformly favorable. Everybody appears to real- ize that this is o peculiarly auspicions time for having such a commemoration of the anniversary of the declaration of American independence as this se of the country ias never held, and thero is spocial fitness in huving it in Omaha. This city will that day entertain thou- sands of visitors from every part of the country, and the opportunity is there- fo-e most favorable for showing to tho whole nation that in this western city the patriotism of te psople is as vital and ardent as inwhy othersection of the republic. Such @ jcelebration as THE Beg has suggestod jwould attract here thousands of the people of Nebraska and Towa other thaniithose who will be drawn to the city, by political considera- tions, There is tiple to arrange a mag- nificent duxnrmslr.nqun if the matter is taken hold of atonte and energetically pushed. Tne nominationiof Hon, A. E. Steven- son of Illinois for vice president by the Chicago convention did not strengthen the,tigket. Mr. Stevenson is a lawyer of good ability, who has sorved a term in.cengress, was first as- sistant postmaster general in the Cleve- land administration and is popular with the [llinois domocrats. He was prob- ably chosen at the suggestion of Senator Palmer, but his selection will not ma- terially affect the result in Illinois, That state is safely republican this year. On the other hand, there are u groat many democrats in Indiana who will not forgive the summary turning down of Mr. Gray, aud it will not be at all sur- prising if some of these ave found in the republican ranks next November. At any rate the treatment of Gray will very materially reduce the enthusiasm of Indiana democrats for the Chicago ticket and it is pretty safe to say takes that state out of the doubtful list, 'NE 24, 1892, PUINTS ON NEBRASKA POLITICS. John Shervin's name 1s still ocoasionally mentioned as a good one to head the demo- cratic state ticket, Somebody has mentioned J. D. Calhoun ia the same broath with the democratic guber- natorial nomination, Henry St. Raynor of Sidney is mentioned in connection with the state senatorial nomi- natioa 1 his gistrict. Joo Bartley of Atkinson is said to believe that he hasa cineh on the ropublican nomi- uation for state treasurer. W. S. Frost talks of again making the race for the logislature from Washington and Burt counties on the republican ticket. Judge E. J. Halner of Aurora is being in- dustriously boomed by his friends for the re. publican nomination for congress in the Fourth district. W. D. Matthows of O'Neill, ex-banker, oditor and whisky cure propriotor, will bs & candidate for a seatin the state sonate on the ropublican ticket. “The recent convention of the Custer county independents instructed for Weaver for president, Watson for vice president, Van W ek for governor, Kom for congress and Beal for senator. am N. Wolbach, the Grand Island mer- 1t who has hoen honored by the dewoc- ¢ by election to the legislaturo threo times, is now boing boomod for the guber- natorial nomimation. Tho Farmers Alliance of Lincoln tries to poke fun at Prof. Andrews, the republican candidate for congress in the Fifth district, becauso ho 1s a Presbyterian, but it makes a dismal failure in the attompt at humor, Fremont wants to have one of her citizens in cougress, so the domocrats thoreabouts are booming W. H. Mungor for the nomination. ‘The Columuus Telegram speaks of Munger as *‘a worthy colleague to co-operate with Bryan and McKeighan," The Nebraska City Press announces that “it 18 now generally known that Hon. John C. Watson will not accept a nomination for congress,” and it expresses the fond hopo that lie may meet Bryanon tho stump in folnt debate during the campaign. Tho West Point Progress says that with “Senator Keiper as the democratic candi- dnte for congress it is doubtful wheother the indopendents will make any nomination in the Third district.” Perhaps Editor O'Sul- livan will expect Poynter to withdraw from the race in case Keiper carries off tho honors in the democratic convention, Tobias Castor’s selection as the member of the democratic national committee-from Ne- braska leads the Grand Tsland Indepen dent tosay: “Mr. CAstor, tho railroad attorney, will be a nice man to bo swallowed by tho alliances when tho question of fusion with the democracy comes up. The democrats are in the hands of the railroads as much as ever.” John C. Santee, who has been a little of overything, is now on the democratio sido of the fonce. He sees “only one road leading out of the democratic wilderness; nominato Sam Wolbach or John E. Snervin for gov- ernor and H. E. Bonesteel for lieutenunt govornor and tho people will rospond with their votes—brains and business.” John has almost always been unfortunate iu the roie of a political sign post, There seems to be considorable of & fac- tional fight under the surfaza in the third party and the Nebraska Alliance lifts up the crust a hittle, It asserts that ‘‘'some of our friends have desired 1o use our columus to ‘boom’ their respective candidates for gov- ernor and to ‘kill of’ others. This we have not permitted;” and then the editor very landly adds: “We are willing to trust tho peoplo to select their standard bearers with- out dictation fromn us." The nomination of Whitelaw Reid recalls old times to the mind of J. D. Stine of the Superior Journal. ‘“Looking back across the years,” suys Mr. Stine, “toa day when in Xenia, O., wo climbed a rickety old stair- case to call upon and congratulate this same man on his vecent graduation with high honor from Miami university and his ven- ture as editor of the Xenia Noews and found him shoving a hand roller over the forms on an old hand press ana Preston 8B, Plumb pulling the lover, how little we or anyono elso thought that the events of 1302 would record the death of one as the most illustrious senator of a state thut then hud no existence, while the other stood before the nation for the next to the highest position on the ticket of a party that was thien but emerging from the ruius of another that had gone down for want of o to meot and crush out a groat national crime.

What a sacrifice of Indis favorite dewooratio son,” was the exclaina tion of democrats and republicans alike when the resuit of the convention’s work upon the vice presidency becime known at 6 o'clock this ovening. Thero had boen such a doter- mined fight for Gray by bis Hoosier frionas that it was supposed for a while he would ot the crumb, notwithstanding tho fact that 1t has been stated a number of times 1 Be specials that Me. Cleveland would not accept him. Mr. Stovenson was a very ordinary ma. chine politician while ho beheaded fourth class postmasters under President Cleve- laud, violating the civil servico law, and the “stuffed prophot! sat as the soul of toform in the white house. -The nomination will not come to Mr. Steveuson with any deeree of eclat. 1t was refused by Governor Boies of Towa and would have been rofused by Gray had there been anything olse for the gov- eraor to do, 11linoi3 is hopelessly republican and sinco Stovenson represents no element of strength outside of his own stato, whero he s unknown, it is thought that_the party menagers in the convention came to the con- clusion to throw the second place awa) Don't Like the Platfosm, There is a good doal of eriticism: on the platform which was adopted, although most democrats are not dosirous of having their oxpressions of disapproval published. Rep. resentative Holman of Indiana, howover, was outspoken in his denunciation. “It 1, said he,, “marked by more timidity than anything the democratic party hus done for vears, It is s woak s acombination of timidity and slush could make it.”’+ “The copservative imen of the party on the tarif question are not at all pleased with the plguk relating to that issue, and they con- sidor that the convention would have done moro wisely 1t the original report of the com- mittec had beon adopted. The rvepublicans are particularly woll pleasod with this planis, ana’ Representative Dingley of Muino said that this alone would insure the success of the republican ticket. “This aeclaration of on tari,’ said he, lipo wore distinctly’ between tho two parties on this issue thau ever bofore. This is the first time that the democratic party has placed itself on record as favoring freo trado. [t is well known up in New England that tho democrats in conventions and speechmaking in thoso states have ulways ‘been persistent in declar- ing that _the democratic party was for o tarift which would equalize the aif- ferences between the prices of labor paid in this country ond inBurope. This was also the republican position, but now that tho democrats havo declared for free trade they caa no longer mako this claim and they wiil probably lose Connecticut on this issuo alone. Of course the term ‘free trado’ comes 10 us through the English nomenclature, and iv does not mern absolutely no tariff at all, but only a tariff on articles not produced in tho country. This is theroforo a tariff for revenue only, which England now has, and this was endorsed by the democrats yester- aay from a democratic standpoint, therefore, I believe that the platform is weak prac tically, as it will cost the party Conaecticut, without making any compensatory eains cisewhere.” Not a Cheer Nor a Smile.

It will bo the present repuolican American system of protection and reciproc- ity upon the one side and *free trade upon the other. The “tariff reform” of the Cleve- land school, such as is described in the plat- form adopted ut Chicago, is free trade, puro and simple.
