AN EXCELLENT TICKET. The republicans of Nebraska enter the campaign under most favorable aus- pices. The nomination of Lorenzo Crounse is within itself a harbinger of victory. His nomination inaugurates a new era in the political history of the state. The party has nominated a man who has not sought the office of gov- ernor, but will make a great sacrifice in accepting it. And this man enters the arena without a blemish upon his ¢har- acter and a record that commends him to the people as worthy of their highest trust. With Torendo Crounse as thelr stand- ard bearer, republicans are in position to wago af aggressive campaign und recover efery inch of the ground they have lgst within the past fwo years. They“will present a united front to the common enemy and swing back into line thousands of disuffected republicans who recognize in Judge Crounse a stanch champion of the vital reforms which the producing and industrial classes have for years demanded. The candidacy of Judge Crounse will also meet with a most cordial support from business men of all parties who abovo all things desire to see the affairs of this state administered by an execu- tive Who is conservative and sound upon every question involving the good name and credit of the state and is experienced in the management of publie affairs. From head to foot the republican ticket will not only commend iwelf to the earnest and active support of re- publicans, but will beur favorable com- parison with the candidates that have been recently nominated by the new reform party. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The platform unanimously adopted by the republican state convention is a clear statement of principles which ought to command vhe unqualified ap- proval of every citizen of Nebraska, us it cortainly willof all republizans in the state. Its hearty endorsement of the admimstration of President Harrison accords with the sentiment of the party everywhore. The assertion that the ve- publican party is the friend of all classes of labov is justified by its record, which warrants coufidence in its pledge tocare for the interests of labor in the future. Every good citizen will concur- in the utterance of the platform regarding con- flicts between labor and capital and the method suggested for their peaceful set- tlement. The platform pledges the party in favor of legislation that will give the farmers of the state elevator and ware- house fucilities at reasonable and equit- able charges, and also furnish them proper transportation fucilities to all accessible markets promptly .and with- out diserimination at just and eauitable rates. This refers to a matter which is of prime importance to the agricultural interests of the state. The demand for the regulation by law of express charges within the state is in the interest of the whole people. The proposed amend- ment to the constitution providing for an elective railroad commission, to be voted on at the November clection, is favored, and the party is also committed in favor of a postal telegraph systom, postal savings banks and rural free de- livery, all of which would ba chiefly beneficial to the agricultural population and the smaller communities, The evil of trusts is recognized and laws to eradi- cate and repress them recommended. The necessity of a revision of the revenue laws of the state, so that all property rightfully subject to taxation shall-contribute its just share to the public revenues, s generally conceded, and the platform suggests that this be done by a commission of competent per- sons ropresenting the principal indus: tries of the state. The claims of the union soldiers unon the beneficence of the nation are duly recognized. With this declaration of sound prin- ciples, and clean, capible candidates, the republican party can confidently ask the support of the voters of Nebraska, MR. CLEV A dispatch from tho summer home of Mr. Cleveland at Buzzard’s Bay states that he is much pleased over the result of the election in Alnbama, TItis to be inferred from t his that he had been apprehensive of democratic defeat there, assuming that he paid apy at- tention at all to the contest. But at any rate, the fact that Alabama, which has been uniformly democratic at every election for twenty years, is still so pleases Mr. Cleveland, He finds in it, as 4o the democrutic organs generally, the assurance that the south is yet solid for the democracy. The fear thatthe new political movement might make serious jnroads upon democratic strength in that sqetion has boen dis- pelled by the result in Alabama. The menace of the people’s party to demo- cratic domination in the south no more troubles the democratic mind. Ala- bama hus demonstrated that that party is not a dangerous factor there, and that whatever it may accomplish elsewhere it will do no harm to the southern dem- oorag It isin this spivit that the Philadel- phin Record declares that the election in Alabama “puts anend to the feur that the south can be seduced from its old nllegiance by any side issue.” “The south is solid,” exclaims that devoted organ of the democracy; “‘the result in Alabama hus cleared away the smoke. From henceforth the battle will be a battle waged in the debatablo states of the north.” Ungquestionably tois is an accuratestatement of the situation, The people’s party, though originating in the south and having its organizers chiefly from that section, is already practically dead there. T'he probability is that General Weaver will not carry half a dozen counties in the entire south. T'he southern alliance men will vote the democratic ticket. They will do 8o be- onuse before everything else in politics they are democrats. For local.or state officers they may vote ngainst that party, but iu @ national election they can be gounted upon with absolute cor- tainty to vote the democratio ticket. It CAMPAIGEN CLATTES, Ons mitlionaiedy }firas Taviyers, ono editor, one school teachgrand two farmers compose the independentdstate ticket. And both the 1 1 ! 3 larmers nom| ""mq“’ ol the political brana, { is & toregone conclusion that they will do so this yeur. ‘Wil former republicans who are iden- tified with the new political movement in the west, and who stitll helieve that the nrinciples of the republican narty are move conducive to the welfare of the country than demoeratic priaciples, seriously consider this situation? De- serted, as they evidentiy will be, by the southern wing of the political orguniza- tion with which they are affiliated, are they prepared w eontribute to demo- cratic success by easting thelr votes in a hopeless cnuse? [t must be apparent to every intelligent man among them thet there could be no possible advantage to the people’s party in democratic suc- cess. The eolection of Mr. Cleveland would insure the recognition of no single peincivle for which the new ‘party contends, but it might result in porpetu- ating democratic control of the govern- ment for muny vears. When it is c6n- sidered what that would mean in the way of reactionary legistation, in- the overturning of established financial and economic policies to which the vast business interests of the country have become firmly adjusted, no man who is solicitous for thecontinued progress and prosperity of the country can desire democratic success.

Amia the roar of the Kearney and Lincoln conventions there came the news from Crete of Goneral Vifquain’s romination for con- gress. The general’s candidavy wlll not ex- cite much attention, and that attention will disappear aftor November, southern democracy? THE PEOPLE'S PARTY CANDIDATES. In nominating General C. H. Van Wyck as its candidato for governor, the people’s party selected the ablest and the most popular of its leaders. but did he possess the ability of Daniel Web- ster or Roscoe Conkling he still would be unable to make the level-headed peo- ple of the country believe in the doc- trines enunciated by the new political organization. General Van Wyck has had an honorable career as a soldier, a representative in comgress and a sena- tor of the United States. Asa leader of the new political movement for the relief of the toilers he is distinctly out of place, in view of the fact thut he is one of the wealthiest men in Nebraska. It is not conceivable that General Van Wyck can be in accord with the wild financial schemes advocated. by the party with which he is now identified. Himself a capitalist and a man of nota- ble shrewdness and sagacity in finan- ciat affairs, no one knows better than he the utterly impracticable character of thenew party’s economic principles. In acvepting the leadership of the now movement, therofore, it is fair to as- sume that General Van Wyck has in view the furthorance of an ulterior am- bition. As to the other candidates on the people’s ticket they can hardly be re- garded as toilers in the sense that the farmer and the mechanic toil. Three of General Vifquain expects to secure the support of the Nebraska tin soldiers on his rocord as 8 denouncer of General Snowden for hanging up Private Iams by the thumbs. Editor Simmons of thq Seward 'Reporter hopes to be the republican opponent of Gen- eral Vifquain and he has also denounced General Snowden’s brutality, so the two candidates are evan on thay score. Tho Norfolk Herald endorsed 8. M. Wal- bach for the democratic nomination for gov- ernor and then 1t died. “The blasts of the bugle which announced the close of Dr. Morcar's speech at Lincoln struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the delogates and they broke into a song of praise.

As a whole they will not compare in character and capabili- ties with the republican candidates. Not one of them, except Van Wyck, has ever been prominent in public life, and it can be said of several of them that their success in private life has not been such us to give assurance that they would make a particularly brilliant rec- ord in public affairs. — DURING the month of July the receipts of grain by lake at the port of Buffalo were 21,000,000 bushels, while those of the seuson to date resch’ the total of 75,000,000 bushels, for a little over three months of navigation, This exceeds by 20,000,000 hushels the receipts of 1890 for the same period, which was the best previous record. The railroads are getr ting a much larger share of this freight than the eanal, nowwithstanding that the canal freights are 30 per cent lower than they were in 1890, In the latter year the receipts of grain by lake to August 1, excluding® flour, were 47,000,000 bushels while the railroads got 22,000,000 bushels. This year the canal gets only about 20 per cent of the<total amount recelved, and besides this the railroads getnearly all of the flour, which amounts this year to several million barrels. ‘With reduced business and diminished rates the boatmen are having hard times this year, and many of them have been obliged to give up the fight, Ciear- unces of canal boats from Buffalo to date number only 2,070, agaiast 8,042 in 1890 and 4,057 in 1891, These facts will be regarded as important by all who are interested 1n the problem of cheap trans- portation from west to east. — THE advantage which the South Omaha packers will gain by reason of the reduced rate which opens this mar- ket to Texas cattle 18 now beginaing to be appurent. Heretofore at this geason of the year it has been impossibleto pro- cure cattle enough to keep the business going, and to n greut extent this is the canse now, but it is expected that the ef- fect of tho new differentisl will be shown before many days in receipts of Texas cattle suflicient to greatly increase the volume of business at South Omaha over that of previous yeurs at this season. It is too soon to expect large results from the newly opened source of supply, us there has bwen very little time to work up a business in southern cattle, but the receipts of stock are larger now than ever before at this time of the year, ard extensive shipments from the south will soon begin to. arrive. The packers are greatly pleased with the outlook. Millions in Masonry. Chicago News.

The fusion between the democrats and the people's party in Kansas is moeting the fate of such combinations.

The Hanover Democrat, the leading democratic paper in northern K sas, has also bolted the fusion ticket. It says that “‘the raok and file of the democrats in Kansas prefer honorable defear to a sur- render of their principles and manhond for a dishonorable temporary success.” This is what might have been expected.

Today’s issue of United Canada, a local Irsb-Catholic organ, has a leading article headed, ‘‘Justice or Annexation,” in which it deals with the judgment of the privy coun- cil in the Manitoba scnool cases, It says: “‘One ot two things must soon como. This war of Protestant against Catholic—race against race—must soon come to a close, or otherwise annexation, Two oclasses of peo- ple in Canada are certainly delighted with this decision, and they are the extreme Pro- testants and those who favor annexation.” Le Canads, a F'rench deily paver, had also other significant articles, following up 1ts previous articles suggesting annexation be- cause French-Canadians, as it says, cannot get fustice under the British flag. Le Can- ada holds that the fact that bhalf a million Franch-Canauians ure contentedly settled in the United States is proof that they are weil treated there and get on splendidiy. It as- serts that no one can reasonably deny that 1f the province of Quebec were in tho United States, it would be well off and 1ts people would malke their mark there. “They would not,” it concluaes, *‘have to engagein a war of races aud religion there because every race is welcome n the United States and every religion respected.” POSTPONED THE CASE.
