At first glance this scheme appsars very plausible and might, by the unve- flecting veader. be accopted as based upon sound lnw, But a moment’s delib- eration upon the constitutional provi- sions governing the election of president and vice president in the United States will show that the entire proposition is utterly without foundation.

This is an honorable and laborious post and the Yyoung man seemes endowed with the samo sort of energy and quiet industry 80 characteristic of his futher. He is certainly setting a bettor example than Avcthur’s son, who is living in Paris and idling his life away in conching tours. THE architect of the city hall lncks malure judgment. His challenge to the mayor to point out defects in the build- ing is supromely egotistic if not ridicu- lous. There nover has been u public building or anv other building of great dimensions erected that is not defective in some parts or could not be improved on by the architect who designed it. The city hall certainly is no oxception. Muyor Bemis may know precious little about architecture, but ho wi 1 have no Mr, trouble in meeting challenge. Beindorfl's Now that the congressional conven- tion for this district has boeu called the county committee will have to wake steps to arcange for the primary wad convention that are to nominate dele- gutes. The coming county convention should also place in nomination the leg- dslative ticket. It would be unreasona- ble to incur the expense for Lwo separate primary elections and conventions. It s to be koped, however, that the county committee will abolish the caucus and los the cundidates submit their claims to the full vote of the parly ut the pri- muries place the federal constitution goveraing the oper- ations of the electoral college, confines its restrictions to the poesidential electors slone. Tt reads: “*The electors shall meet in their vespective tes and vote by ballot for president and vice president, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of tho same state with themselves.” This restriction does not apply to the senators in case the choice of vice president falls to that body, for the renson thut under those ¢ cumstancos tho choice of president and vice president is effected indepondontly by the two branches of coneress, neither of which is assumed to know what selec- tion the other may make. Nor is it true as a matter of existing law that the president and vice president mast reside in different states, since the present statue prescribing the order of presi- dential succession makes the various members of the cabinet eligible to fill vacanies, in which case both president and vico president might possibly hail the samo state. There appears another kink in this latest independent scheme, more fatal than thoe first. It is this, that though the house in balloting for president vote upon the three candidates for the presidency who huve received the high- est electoral votes. the senate in chosing a vice president is confined to the two cafdidates highest on the list. Not even the most wild-eyed member of the peop'e’s party will dare to claim that Mr. Fiolds will be one of these. Even should the election of the vice president be thrown to the senate, the only per- sous to be voted upon wounld be Reid and Stevenson and of these Mr. Reid would undoubtedly be elected. Under the circumstances. of Mr. McClure shows its origin on its face. Noone would presume to present it to the public unless his intellect were befuddled by the hair-brained financial fallacies which the people’s party are trailing in their wake. The idea is legally impossible. Whatever may be the result of the third party movement, we are justified In giving expression to our feelings that *‘Mr. Reid’s election is practically assured.”’ — OUR COMMERCIAL RIVALS. In o letter to the presidentof a re- publican club in New Jersay President Harrison wrote: “The utterances of Luropean nowspapers and Boards of Trade very strongly testify to the fact that our eommereial “rivals appreciate the great strides which have recently been taken in the development of Amer- ican trade and American prestige. T cannot but believe that these acts of legislation and of administration which have attracted the observation and envious criticism of our rivals will bo approved by the American people.” The confidence of the president in the dis- ceimination and patriotism of the people will, therd is every reason to beliove, be justified. The comwercial world is regarding with eager interest the operation of the policies, instituted by the republican party, under which the United States is moving steadily forward to commercial supremuicy. Our chief rival, Bugland, has been compelled to acknowledge the menace to her commercial ascendency involved in the acts of legislation and of administration for the development of American trade. Her statesmon, her press, and her commercial bodies, have 1 unequivocal terms proclaimed the danger to her power in ths world of commerce from the guccess of the Awer- ican policy, With greater force her de- pressed and declining industries tell of the offect aleady produced by that policy. From her cotton and woolen mills, her tin factories and other in- dustries, the complaint is heard of re- duced production and Iéssening protfits. Her grest manufacturing couters are not 80 busy as they were two yeirs ago. The American market wants less of their products because American manufactur- ers ure unlo to supply the domestic de- mand. At the same timo we are com- peting for a share of the trade of other lands which has hitherto been almost wholly monopolized by Europoan coun- tries. The aggressive commercial policy of the United States, amply vindicated in what has been accomplished, our com- mercial rivals have spursd no effort to antagonize, but their hope of defeuting it is not #0 much in theiv own efforts as in the success of the political party in this country which ishostile to the poli- cies of protection and reciprovity. Therefore it is that the English news. papers ore without exception on the side of the domocratic party und eagerly hope for its success in the coming presi- deutiul election. The reader of current events hus not failed Lo note the expres- the device Intelligent men of ail classes—those who are influenced by facts and con- ditions rather than theories—are learn- ing to appreciate the true character of the situition so far as our commercial rivals are concerned, and there can be no doubt that the number who approve the ncts of legislation and of adminis- tration which have attracted the ob- sorvation and envious criticism of such rivals is steadily growing. The farmer and workingman, equally with the man- ufacturer, must see that British interost in the success of democratic policy cannot, in the nature of things, spring trom any vegard for the progress and wellfare of the American nation and peope. NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS, The republicans of Nobraska have renson to be hopeful and coufident. With one of the strongest tickets ever put in nomination in the state, n plat- form which every good citizen can ap- prove, and the conditions, national and state, Inrgoly favoring ropublican suc- cess, the party in Nebraska ought to win a sweeping victory, and with proper organization and a vigorous cam paign it can do so, Not for several years have the republicans of Nebraska been more harmonious than at present or more de- termined to achieve victory. This is evidenced by the tone of the party press and by the expressions of loca! leaders. The opinion is pracsicaily unanimous that the seloction of Judge Crounse as the candidate for governor was the very best that could have been made, and the more earefully his record and qualifica- tions are considered the stronger his candidacy becomes, No one will quos- tion his ability, and his character for integrity and rectitude of purpose is an assurance to every interest that its richts under the constitution and laws of the state would have in him a firm and faitbful guardian. Under his ad- ministration justice would be done to all interests to the full extent of the execu- tive authority. Judge Crounse is us earnestly solicitous for the progress and prosperity of Nebraska as any en of the state. and as governor his efforts would be directed to the promotion of the general good. ‘The restoration of the government of Nebraska to republican control is to be desired for every reason that relates to the future growth and prosperity of the state. Every intelligent and fair-minded citizen will concede that the political conditious that huve prevailed here for the last two or three years have been damaging to the material interests of the state. Some progress, it is true, hs been made in spite of them, but every man of practical affairs knows that the volitical change of 1890 had a decidedl unfavorable effect upon our prosperity in curtailing investments, driving out capital and checking the inflow of popu- lation. The political element responsi~ ble for this has not changed its prin- ciples and is again in,the field seeicing control of the state government. Were it to succeed there can-be no doubt that the consequences to the material in- terests of Nebraska would be far more serious than two yoars ago, for such success would be accepted as an assur- ance that the people of this state were hopelessly wedded to the wrong-headed and impracticable views of tho new po- litical organization. Such a conviction obtaining throughout the country would do more than retard the progress of Ne- braska; it would cause a retrograde movement that would not halt so long as the new party remained in power. The campaign which the republicans of Nebraska will soon inaugurate must be made vigorous und aggressive from the opening to the finish, and the first condition to this is thorough organiza- tion. There should be no further delay in organizing, for the opposition most to be feared is already actively at work and the time for making a stirring cam- paign will not exceed ton weel The republican cause is steadily gaining ground, bat it will be wise to open the fight soon and vigorously ail along the line. THE POWER OF PERSONAL INTERESTS. Upon a platform that was supposed to menn nothing but an adjustment of tho turiff Mr. Cloveland carried Connecti- cut by only 836 votes. He now stands upon & platform that not only declares boldly for free trade, but proclaims that protection is unconstitutional. Not, only Connecticut, but alt the manufac- turing states of the east, and those of the west that have important interests needing protection, are opposed to free trade. However loyal the democrats of those states may be to their party, their busiuess interests must ovérshadow all others, Tne political history of this country does not afford an exception to the rule that mon will always protect their personal interests when they are assailed, whether the aggression comes from their own party or another. Mr. Cloveland does not stand for any great prineiple that appeals to the patriotism of the people. In no respect does he represent impostant public interests. The peace and prosperity of the Amari- can people are not menaced, and so slen- der is the excuse for a change of udmin- istration that the democracy is by no means united upon its platform of prin- ciples. These are the conditions under which it is claimed that Cleveland will carry certain doubtful states whose chief in- Lorests are antugonized by his candidacy us they never huve beon before. In public and in private the sentimeuts exprossed by all who are personally in- terested in the tected industries is emphatically in favor of & continunnce of the present policy. And it is to be romembored, moreover, that those whose ultorances upon this subject have been heard comprise butu small frac- tion of ull who have a direct interest in the tariff question, The thousands of OMAHA DAILY BER!

The strike of the switchmen on the Erie and Lohigh Valloy railvonds, which was started in Buffalo and is now rapidiy extending over the two lines, has alrendy produced serious conse- quences, and promises to assume yet more formidablo vroportions. In this case the strikers soem to have taken no time for deliboration. They made a demand for inoreased wages and then proceeded to emphasize it by riots and incendiarism. They have inaugurated a reign of torror in Buffalo-by derailing passenger trains and applying the torch to buildings and cars, and they have also assaulted the men who have been em- ployed to take their places. The striking switchmen may have had just cause for quitting work, but in view of the reckless course they have adopted 1o forca their employers to survender, the merits of theie case will receive little consideration. They are not only guilty of criminal ncts in destroying the property of the railroad companies, but they have wantonly and without a shadow of excuse endangered the lives of passengers who had nothing what- ever to do with the dispute between them and their employors. The people notonly will not sympathize with such methods, but they will not tolerate them. The employes of corporations often have just cause for complaint. Perhaps the cuuse of the switchmen is just, and if it is, it is tho greater pity that they have adopted a course that must cor- tainiy alienate the public sympathy which they would otherwise have re- ceived. They are the vietims of mis- placed confidence. and when they have regained their senses they will see that they have been deceived and misled by false friends and foolish advisers. The fact that the railvoad business is not a protected industry will be deeply regrotted by the demoeratic press. There secmns to b no campaign mator in the switchmen's strike.

Jawes Whitehead, republican nom- ineo for coniress in the Sixth district, was in Omaha yesterday. He is contident of victory for republicanism in the big Sixth. The republicans up in those new counties of tho state are growing very enthusiastio and will wage an aggrossive campaign. Mr. Whitehead saw for the first time while in the eity the challenge issued by Congross- man Kem for a joiut discussion, and he was not lony in deciding what to do about the matter. Mr. Kem will be accommodated to his heart's content and the chances are strongly in favor of his receiving one of the most severe oratorical drubbings he over haa in bis life, ‘“James Whitehead ie a fighter,” said a well known republican in discussing the challenge, “‘ana never refused a challenge to a contest of brains or brawn. He learned to fight during tae rebellion, and he is just as suro a shot with his tongue as he was with nis gun when he helped win tho day at Ricthmond, where his regiment. tho Nine- teenth Wisconsin, planted the colors first on the fortifications of the vauquished con- foderate army.” Speaking of the chailenge, Mr. Whitchead said: "I have just beon shown the communi- cation signed by J. H. Edmiston, chairman of whe congressional committee of the peo- vle's party in the Sixth district, stating that the committee has been authorizea by Con- grossmau Kem to challenge me to meet him in joint discussion of the political 18sues of the campaign. Tne challenge states that ‘tho policy of the republican party is disas- trous to the best interests of the masses of our peonle.” 1In reply to that communication 1 will say that the policy of the republican party is and has been for the best interests of our people, and to maitain this proposi- tion and to show the fallacies that are advo- cated by other parties, and to expose the ofticial acts of tue representatives of other parties, Iam willing to meet Mr. Kom at such times and places as may bo agreeable to the republican congressional committee of the Sixth district. I will refer the matter to the committee for final and completo ar- rangements.” Vandervoort’s mouth always has been big- gor than his discretion, and John M.
