The Omaha Herald some time agoread the Ohio Democracy out of theparty because of its ''rag money"platform. It now administers the samepurgative to the Pennsylvania De-

The State Democratic convention atFremont played the mountain laborto perfection. Nominated one candi-date for Supreme Judge, Hon. E. W.Thomas, 'of this City. No trade inthat movement! Oh no! Wakely,Cnlhoun and other legal lights did notcare to be slaughtered.

$ 'The Omaha Herald is about as wel1

posted as to the residence and doingsof men in this State, as it is on mostother matters. Last week, in com-

menting upon the candidates present-ed by the Fremont Bourbon conven-tion, referring to Mr. Thomas, the ed-

itor says :'TTnn "H V I'linmoa tUa Olefin '

guished lawj'er and citizen who solong resided in Brownville, and nowlives in Lincoln."

Last week John Williams shot andkilled David R. Vroman and his sonTbos. Vroman, all of Kearney coun-ty, Neb. The trouble was about Will-iams' pony whioh got into Woman'scom field. The shooting was donewith a double-barrele- d shot gun.There was no witness to the killing,and when the Vroman's were foundthey wereboth dead, but Williamsconfessed and gave hlniself up to theofficers of the law. Pie said he didthe bloody work in self defense.

All the "Democratic Conventionswhioh have assembled since the warbegan, or ended, adhere to the oldstereotype :

"Hcsolved, That we hereby declareour unfaltering devotion to the fun-damental principles of the democrat-ic government as enunciated by Thos.Jefferson in his first inaugural address,to-w- it: Equal and exact, Justice toall-me-

But few of them have reached thedays of Jackson yet, in their antedi-luvian researches. It is expected theywill comedown to that period aboutthe year nineteen hundred.

The Omaha Herald Is taking itsperiodical tilt at the Nebraska StateBoard of agriculture. . Threatens nowto "bust up" the whole concern un-less a Treasurer and Secretary is elect-ed to suit the editor of that paper.The fellow's hair has all been thewrong way since.the board virtuallyexpelled him as a member, for down-right lying a fact he afterward con-fessed over his own signature. TheHerald is just now after Jim Moore,the Treasurer. Because, why, Jimused to be a Bourbon Democrat', andnow is the Republican candidate forSheriff in Otoe county.

Senator Morton, in a speech lastweek, referring to Jeft Davis' agricul-tural, "swiug around the circle" in theNorth, aud speaking of Davis' treat-ment to our soldiers, said :

"Hesatinbis chamber in view ofJjibby Pnson and .other of the terri-ble place's where our soldiers were in-humanly treated, J sent, a Govern-or, thousands of dollars .worth jot pro-visions and clothqs.to our prison, andin only one- - instance dii they reachthe brave, suffering boys. It was tak-en

jby .tJbofje who were outside )i that

region. It is the worst charpro themost terrible against him that lie letnor hoys suffer und die loathsomedeaths when they might hitva.-bee-

helped and relieved. He did not dohis xvholo duty as a man or public of-hce- r."

The Democratic State convention,which met at Fremont on the lGth,paused Jthree resolutions. The firstone mskes the startling and originalannouncement that "the Democratic4parly 0 this State is in favor of re-

trenchment nnd reform." Thislssig;-nifican- t

that the Democratic party of"this State" does not wish to sppakfor the Democratic party of a:iy.ntherState, especially that of New York.The Democratic party "of this,S.tate:':is ver3' kind to leave that to Tveed,Morrissev, 'Kelly &c. "Retrench-meri- t

ami refoim" are mere emptywords an empty .pv.ufossion, wUpuuttered .by the Democratic party.That party never pnietired it when itwas in power. It is known by itsworks of the past and be sojudged. for the future. The rebellion,and the taxe. and burdens whichnecessarily followed, are chargeable tothe Democratic party. But what didit care for taxes, for country, for any-

thing? Wliat did that party care forretrenchment and reform wh.e.: the'questions were freedom, or.

Union or disunion. The yawp of thatparty, in this State or elsewhere,about retrenchment and reform, issimply disgusting and hypocritical.

The second resolution solemnly al-

leges that "we are in favor of a soundcurrency." What does such a decla-

ration amount to? Who is not in fa-

vor of a sound currency ? But is therea Democrat alive to-da- y who remem-bers of ever living in a time of sound-er currency than we have now ? Dur-ing the many years of Democratic rulein the government it never nnd asound S3'stem of currency never any-

thing nearly so onri as the presentsystem, made since the Rebublicanpart3 has been in control of the gov-

ernment. Are you old enough, read-

er, to remember the currency theyused to have when the "Dimicrats"run the machine ? If you are not, askyou father or grandfather about thelimes of State( banks, shin plastersand wild cat money. When everyState and nearly every locality had itsbank, .and. muclj of the currency is-

sued wa3 not known outside the smallrad?us of home circulation. Whenthose banks were constantly break-ing. When, if yeu sold a load ofwheat "for the money," you wouldbe very lucky if you could exchangeit forBomethingyou needed before thebank was reported "busted." Whenyou couldn't travel from one State tcanother on the currency of your ownState. When every other inconven-ience was entailed upon the peoplethat was ineveitable to an ill advised,and unsafe system of currency. Thiswas Democratic money the best sys-

tem of exchange they ever had. Im- -

aglne those times and comparethem with our present safe money.But the Democrats want a sound cur-rency. They want to get back towild cat and shin plasters.

On Friday of last week a farmernamed Milton Collins, residing nearKearney, Neb., was killed by" somecattle herders who had just come intothe neighborhood. It appears thatthe herders let their ponies loose andthat they got into Collins' corn andthat to secure pay for the damage donehe took up the ponies, or some ofthem. When the owners of the hors-es found them in Collins' possessionthe latter demanded twenty dollarsfor the damage done his corn field.There was no violence attempted byCollins, and without provocation,more than the demand for pay, one ofthe herders by the name of Cooperdrew his revolver and began to fire atCollins, who,rau toward his house andfell dead In the door with several bul-

let holes in his bod'. The herdersthen took their ponies-an- d rode hur-riedly away. A party of citizens,headed by an officer, as soon as pos-

sible started in pursuit, and the ad-

joining counties were notified and thepeople turned out to assist in captur-ing the band of ruffians which num-bered about ten. Our latest newsis that all the band have been captur-e- d

except one, and are In the jail atKearney. It will be a wonder if theindignant neighbors of Collins do notput a speedy end to the entire gang.

A young-ma- and lady at Seward,Neb., recently committed matrimonywithout the consent of probato judgeor the empty words of priest or jus-tice. They just, in a business sort ofway, had a lawyer to draw up a con-

tract, with such stipulations as weremutually agreed to, and this instru-ment of writing they both signed inthe presence bf.subscribing witnesses.The happy contractors then repairedto their room at the hotel and contin-ued to get marri d more and more sothat next morning, when .they start-ed for their home on the prairie, theyfelt just about the same as they wouldhad they have had the official servicesof a preacher with a white neck tie.

The so called Democratic conven-tion which assembled at Fremont last,

week waS'Composed of delegates fromnearly half the counties in the Statetwenty-fou- r out of the sixty-thre- e,

lijighty members answered .to roilcall. The Democracy of Nemaha,having turned over the part toChurch Howe, was not represented.

Notwithstanding Miller slobberedall over Sterling Morton in hopes hewould join him in his attp.ak srrr.instMoore. Morton is o& in. a card doingjustice to Moore, and makes Millerpublish it in the Herald. UnlessMiller takes another trip for his healthsoon, that "softening of the brain"may be the death of him.

Fair Play is a Jewel.

Editor Nebraska Advei User.One year ago, I remeiuber well, the

earnest charges you made on the In-

dependents of this county and wassurprised and. chagrined because ofknowledge you 'possessed and madepublic. Wo denied then, of course,many things you said reurardinir Mr.Church Howe and his motives as wellas the motives of other Democraticand Republican Independents, whichwere absolutely true. And while weknew you could not have known somuch without receiving your infor-mation from some traitor who muster-ed with us, we thought, it best lb si-

lently try the fidelity of Howe andother leading Republican Indepen-dents. Iremembes, Mr. Editor, thatyou charged Mr. Howe wilh havingtold you that he proposed to . use theIndependent party fsr the aggrand-izement of the Republican party, .and.hat he could handle the Independent

Democrats, &c. Judging from.. whatJhas since transpired, and t he-wa- y theold Demoorats were treated the otherday in the so called Independent con-

vention at Sheridan, I have come tothe conclusion that Mr. Howe was thetraitor you said he would yet prove tobe, the unfaithful leader in whom weplaced so much confidence.

Now, as I consider the Independ-ent party about bursted up, aud re-

flecting that Church Howe & Co.have proved untrue to all party pledg-es, I will be exonorated by mutuallydeceived i'rieiids, if I make public theobject and mission of the coalition ofDemocrats and Republicans of thiscounty that formed the Independentparty.. It was to utterly break downand overthrow, beyond redemption,the. Rebublican party, in this county.In doing fills, to show that good faithexisted, itwasagreed thattickets nom-

inated by us should consist of bothDemocrats arid Republicans, Well,how was it last year? Hewett, Hay-de- n

and Howe all Republican De-

mocracy ignored. But we were toldby Howe Howe was authority foreverybody that all would be rightthis year. That we Democrats neednot be alarmed, but go right aheadand support the Independent ticket,for this year the rights of the Dem-ocrat- c

element should bp.,rqcognized,aud that we should have at least halfof the county offices. This was thebargain aud Howe aud company knowit, yet what have they done? Givenus Dave Plasters on the ticket andthat is all. We consider that as norecognition at all, for Plasters couldhave been elected just as, easily on anyother ticket, and was virtual'' in thefield. The Republican element tho'tby taking Plasters it would give theticket strength, be sufficient bait tocatch the Democratic vote, as we are,at best, but a little miserable crowd Inthe minority, to be satisfied with verythin fare. Now, while we are in theminority in the popular vote of. thecounty, amongst Independents wehold at least a ballance of power, andand we declare that we would ratherbe defeated aud see the entire Repub-lican ticket elseted than to be betniy-e- d,

lied to aud treated like vo manydocile animals. Independents of Ne-

maha, I appeal to you to vouch forthe truths I have here set forth, andfor a maul' resentment of the insultperpetrated on us. I for one will notstand it. and do therefore kick mostviciously against the swindle knownas the Independent ticket.

Editor Xebriiska Advertiser.

Permit mo, through the columns ofyour valuable paper, to say a fewwords to the Republican electors ofthis county. ,In tho first plnce, J.wouldhave them bear in mind that nextyear we will have one of the mostimportant elections on our hands thatwill probably occur in very manyyears; and that there will bo onlytwo parties in the field Republicansand Democrats; and on the result ofthat election will depend whether thelegislation of the last ten years, In-

cluding the constitutional amend-ments, shall be sustained or not. Wasthero a probability of the Governmentfalling into the hands of the "WarDemocrats;" we might afford to restmore contented ; but on a review ofthe Democratic gains of last year, wefind that a great proportion of theDemocratic members of congress are

officers, who are notonly pledged to use their best effortsto destroy tho Republican party, butalso to return this country as speedilyas possible to its ante bcllum status.

I am aware that the leaders of theDemocracy state that the principal is-

sues between the Republican andDemocratic parties are all settleddead; that they accepttho differentamendments and the reconstructionacts as established facts. But howlong (should they unfortunately onceget the power In their wouldthey respect these proofs of Republi-can asceudenoy. I apprehend thereis not a single man, or at leasta singleRepublican, in this county who doesnot honestly believe, that should ouropponents once more get hold of thereins of government, they would makeshort work In repealing all the acts aRepublican congress has passed, in es-

tablishing perfect equality before thelaws, without distinction as to race, orcolor, or previous condition. And inthl sumption wo are fully warrant- -

ea,stior,.oniy py me wyutnowncnar-aetyrri- fthe men,, bytubo from their

speeches in congress. 'Not long ago Senator Eaton of Con-

necticut, I believe, denied that theUnited States was even a nation, butwas only a confederation of differentsovereign states or nations, and pos-sessed only the authority or powergiven or delegated to it by said sov-ereign state or nation.

We had fondly hoped that this dog-

ma of state sovereignty, so pregnantwith disastrous results to the true in-

terests of humanity and the country,had been fully and decidedly settledby the war; but it seems that .on thefirst 6y mptom of returning power ,theyreturn to their ancient faith with the

more avidity, from having heen com- - !

polled (by polioy) so long to disown it. !

I hope .and tr;ust; our Republicanfriends, not only in this county butthroughout the state, will not .beblinded or hoodwinked by this Dem-ocratic cry of "No ia3ie between theparties, that everything is lovely,"&C, &c. Ve have not yet arrived atthat "political milleuium" when wecan put implicit faith and confidenceiu tho assertions of our quandom op-

ponents; and it will be infinitely better for us to remember that' eternalvigilance is the price, of liberty ; ,andthat what has cost us so much bloodand treasure ought not, and shouldnot, be idly thrown away, or given upon the interested representation of po-

litical demagogues.It may be asked "What has all

this to do with the present cam-paign ?'! Let me give 3011 my viewsof this matter. No good jreherai, onthe eve of an important battle, wouldthink of surrendering his outposts totho enemy, as he. therein would notonly give them the advantage of po-

sition, but would also give them theadvantage of apparent success. So Itis in this campaign, if we allow thisfall's election to go by default. If weallow our oppenents to gain the victo-r- ',

we pot onl3T give them aid andcomfort, but we also place them in po-

sition to work with double effect uponus next fall. But I fancy I hear somefriend of the Independent candidatessay, "You tell us there will be or.13'two parties in. the field next fall Re-

publican and Democrat and audimen as Church, Brushy &o., will notvote the Democratic ticket" 'JLet moask 'ou what assurance have you gotfor that? Can the Independent tick-et in this count' obtain even a decentvote without the.asaistanceof the fourhundred Democrats who form themajority or' tho Independent part3"?And what return have tiie Democratsto expect for their assistance? It maybe true, what a leading Democrat ofthis county told me, "that, four hun-dred Democrats had united with twohundred dissatisfied Republicans tobreak up the Republican part3' in thiscounty," and perhaps there the afflic-tion ends. But. I may bo excused fordoubting it, as I fall to erca r.y bpm'fitour Democratic friends have 'ot re-

ceived, or are likely to derive, shouldthe partnership thus terminate. Atall events I would ask our Republicanfriends to consider how they can con-alstent- ly

vote for men who have en-

tered into a league, offensive and de-

fensive, with our opponents, for ourdestruction ; and does not every pathor divergence from the Republicanranks lead directly to and strengthenour Democratic opponents?

And now, Mr. Editor, permit me afew lines on purely personal matters;and I may be allowed to state that Iapproach this subject with considera-ble distaste, as the old saying is per-fectly correct that "self-prais- e is norecommendation ;" but iu jubtice tomyself, and the numerous friendswho have kindly promised me theirassistance at the coming election, I

am compelled to refer to it. In' talk-ing with friends in the eouutry lamoften asked, "How are you on theteraperincc question?" and I amsomewhat surprised to find out that-som-

parties had circulated the reportthat I was an awful dringing charac-ter. Now, I wish it most emphatic-ally understood that I am, as much ofa temperance man, in thes correctsense of the word, at either of my opponents, but do not believe that pro-

hibitory laws in any wa promotesthe cause, but. think, by observation,that the iinve a contrary effect.

would like to refer to, hut having ex-

tended this article muck further thanI intended when T commenced, I willconclude by answering the editor ofthe Granyer's question' "What Mr.Jones thinks of the contract, or bar-

gain and sale, between Mr. McComaaand some leading Republican politi-

cians." I have always esteemed Mr.McComas as a. who was'.perfectly competent to attend t.o hisowu business ; and if he did ,vorkagainst the Independent ticket lastfall, as asserted, he did nothing in-

consistent with his principles as a lifeJong Democrat ; nnd as to the Repub-lican party of this county, it is notmade of the material to be boughtand sold ; so that the statement islacking in one essential element, thatof being correct. However, .let meassure the, editor of the Granger thatif my sp.erlfice is necessary, or will inany wuy redound to the honor or glo-

ry of the Republican cause, It willcheerfully be made on my part, as Iconsider the success of our party as. ofinfinite more consequence than myown personal aggrandizement; but torelieve him from all anxiety on myaccount, beg leave to assure him thatI see no occasion for the lea3t despondency.

TIIE REAPER 3IAXIA.

Some Good Suggestions from a Practi-cal Fanner.

ditor Nebfftska Advertiser.

It was stated in 'our paper two orthree mouths since that there had beenone hundred and twent3'-fiv- e reapersand headers sold in a single count' inthe western part of this State thisyear, the cost averaging $200 each,amounting to $25,0.00; aud it was spoken tf as a sign of prosperity and ae-- itiyity among the farmers. Now, is itpossible that they are so joined totjieir idols, like the heathen to theirGods, that they are ready and willingto be crushed to death beneath them ?

The writer. of this has seen sixty-fou- r

years; he has used the sickle, thecradle and the reaper, for cuttinggrain ; and I am satisfied that It hasbeen a downward course for the far-

mer over since the reaper was invent-ed. I speak of tho majority. Notbut what the reaper is well enough, iffarmers were compelled to raise. wh,eat,and could not do anything else.. Jf ithad been said the farmers in thatcounty had bought $25,000 worth ofspeep, hogs or cattle, we should havethought it looked like prosperity.$25,000 worth of reapers in a singlecounty ! Wro look upon it as enoughto break and ruin half the farmers inthat county. The trouble with thejreaper is, it hqs.sqt them all to caisjngwheat, a busiueao they should havenever undertaken only for homo con-

sumption, and tho cradle was all sufficient for that. We say, and say it j

boldly, tho reaper has been the great-est ourse to tho farmersiof anythingthey have.ever known, .tho grasshop-pers not excepted, Shall we call thefarmers all foob, and dull of compre-hension? We do not like to say so ;

we are aware it would come nearhome. How long will they stick totheir idol, and waste all their time inproducing an articlo for market thatis so uncertain as wheat? Either thecrops or the price is sure to fail ; thereis not more than two years out of fivethat a farmer makes one cent in rais-ing wheat; and that two years theprofits are very small. I will say,without fear of contradiction, thatthere .are one hundred farms undermortgage, for the same number of in-

habitants, w,here there was one thirtyyears ago; and nine-tenth- s of themcan be traced to buying reapers, andwheat raising! We were in hopesthe grange movement was going towake up the. farmers. The grangersappeared to think thero was some-thing the matter with the farmersthey were anxious to do somethingand they had probablo read in thebible, or heard their preacher say, "Ifthy right hand offend thee, cut it offand cast it from thee ; and they beinga little blear-eye- d, caused probably bydoing their business iu the dark, theywere going to cut off the wrong hand.They pitched on to the railroads. Itis not the railroads that have troubledthe farmer. The appeared to thinkif they could make tho railroads car-

ry their wheat for nothing, and boardthemselves; or, in other words, theywere going, to set the prices for them,and then they could afford to raisewheat.

L'et us look at this reaper business alittle, and see how if is managed. Theagent for the sale of them is common-ly a very stniling, good natured, ac- -

commoiialing man ; he will aell thefarmer a reaper and wait on him oneor two years, for two hundred dollars,with ten per. cent, interest- - That willgive a lUunice to ra'a.e two crops ofwheat ; he can certainly pay for hisreaper then. The firs year the rust,the ehinchbugs, or grasshoppers, orsomething else, has taken his wheat,ami he is hardjy able to .pay the inter-est; the next year the price is so low-i- t

hardly pays for thrashing and haul-ing to market. Thoreaperman is nothalf so smiling as ire" was ; he wantshis money. Right here the- -

money-loan- er

steps up; he will lend the far-mer money to pay for his reaper, andiiisure his life in I he bargain; thebait is tempting, the hook is sharp, itcatches at the first nibble ; the farmergets hialnoney ; agrees to pay 25 or 30per cent for it; gives a mortgage onhis farm; ho generally gets two orthree hundred, more than enough topay for his reaper, in order to pay upfor a few things that- - he has got behindon in his former wheat operations,and to buy him a new suit of cloths,aud a few artificial flowers "just im-ported from France," to put in hiswife and daughter's hats. They arenot going to be extravagant, but spendjust enough so that they can be re-

spectable. Now, with his reaper paidfor, aud uicely fixed up, he goes intowheat raising on a larger scale thanever, and the next thing we hear ishis farm Is offered for sale, and if hecan sell and save dollars besidessatisfying the mortgage, he Is lucky.If he cannot, lie Is soctoftnld to pickup his wife and babiesand elep down I

and out, without a cent.There has been much said about fac-

tories. It is not reaper factories thefanner wants; it is beef, pork, wool,butter nnd cheese factories. Let themproduce something that will not beentirely consumed in carrying it tomarket. It wants a preacher with avoice strong enough to wake the deador shake the rocky mountajn.s, to opentheir eyes before they si lose theirfarms. When they begin . to turntheir attention to stock raising, verysoon mortgages will vanish ; theirflocks, herds and families will in- -prease ; the farmer will be heard sing-ing and whistling "Yankee Doodle'while going to his work ; his wifewill display again those charmingsmiles; his turkeys will gobble; hisroosters crow, &c.

Now, wo say to them, trust not,handle not, the unclean thing thereaper. It has tempted, deceived, andled estray both young Adam and Eve.

few more remarks and wearedone,,ye do not expect to convert all thethe formers at once; but if we canpersuade one to turn from the error of and

ways before it is everlastingly toolate, and save his farm and home for

wife and children, we shall feelthethat our reward is great. fall

Peter Cooper, the veteran and suc-cessful financier of New York in anopen letter addressed "to the editorsand Legislators my native city andstate," upon tb3 question of currency,says :

"To fix upon an arbitrary and fluc-tuating standard, suoh , as worth orexchangeable value of a gold dollar, toindicate the exchangeable price of apaper dollar, is as uncertain as to takeany other permauent product of hu-man labor, such as a bushel of wheator a pound of cotton. Nor can anystandard be fixed for the value of cur-rency, because the U3es and demandof currency is a fluctuating want it-

self."Ricardo, the great European bull-iouis- t,

and author of tho presentBritish financial system, says :

"A ragulated paper currency is. sogreat- - aii improvement in commercethat I should greatly regret if preju-dice should induce us to return tonsystem of les3 vt utility The intro-duction of the precious metals for thepurposes of money, may with truth boconsidered-a- s one of the most impor-tant steps toward the improvement ofcommerce and the arts of civilizedlife. But it is no less true that withthe advancement of knowledge andst iencc, we discover that it would beanother improvement to banish themagain from the employment to which,duriug the less enlightened period,they had been so advantageously ap-plied."

Wendell Phillips, in a letter ad-

The Republican District JudicialConventions have in tho main made,thus far excellent nominations. Theyare Hon. A. J. Weaver iu the 1st,Hon. J. M. Thurston, of Douglas, inthe 3d; Geo. W. Post, Esq:, of York,In the 4th ; MaJ. E. K. Vulleiitine,of dimming, in the 6th. In the fifththero is a double headed nomination,made bj' .1 select convention. Thesection- - hufc iippehre to be tho mostregular in that tho disputed delega-tion admited, being that whose elec-tion was declared valid by the StateConvention, nominated Hon. C. J.Dilworth, of Phelps. The other sec-- 'tion nominated Win. Gaslin, Esq., ofKearney, and unless some compro-mise is made by their friends, whichwe sincerely hope may be' tho case,they will propably both ruu. How-ever, there will be no democratic can-didate, and If there perchance shouldbe, he couldn't beat one side nor theother of these gentlemen, in a three-corner- ed

fight. State Journal.

The Democrats of this State areclaiming Deraocratio victories in theState of Maine, and the Territory ofWyoming. The former eleota a Re-

publican Governor by a majority ofsavernl thousand, and the latter hasalways been Democratic. Just wherethe "tidal wavo" comes in, we are un-

able to see.

The statement Is briefly this: I haveknown Mr. LIpplttfor three or four years,and have come to regard him as powftiIngexcellent talent and sterling perp'erance.He has, under our direction, been made ac-quainted with those methodfcof voice, pianoand harmony, which we beliovs to be thobest, and has gone, far toward mastering theprinciples of tiiefri in his own performance.Believing that Mr. L. will never be superfi-cial in imparting What he knows. I do nothesitate to recommend him as teacher ofmusic in any community.
