THE OMAHA BEE OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY. REPUBLICAN PLATFOEM.

Thatallbonestlaborshouldbeprotccted , and receive iU.just reward.- 2d. . . That we earnestly desire that the credit of our government shall be finely maintained , in order that the commercial and industrial In- terests ¬ of the country mar not suffer lnnry | by fluctuations in values or by impairing in any degree that confidence which DOW j revails in medium which we circulating regard to our hope will , at no dutant day , be based upon metalle currency , the recognized money of the 3d. That we believe that banking , under a- wellguarded national system , should be free, and we counsel reform and economy in all de- partments ¬ of the public service , anl a reduc- tion ¬ of the public debt in such a way and as rapidly , as it may be done without imposing burdens upon the industries of the country.- 4th. . . That we demand a rigid accountability Jn the discharge of official duty on the part ol all office-holders , Whgther State or Katlunal , and tm-t ci delegates , (pe Wng lor constituent * whom we represent we dlravow any sympathy wilb , or for alihoncit public officials , In what- ever ¬ capacity they may be employed.- 5th . That while we recognize and appreciate the advantages derived by the people from a- wellregulated sysUm cf railwaj s we demand ttiould be rendered that these public highways -subservient to the public good. That while we ard railroad corpora- tions ¬ disavow any hostility ic d termination to resist we proclaim our by lawful means all efforts to impose oppressive or extortionate transportation tolls.- Ctb. . . That taxation , to be just , must be- equMly imposed upon all classes of property ; we therefore demaud such National and fatate legislation as will compel railroads and all other corporations to p y tb same proportion ot tax as it imposed on individuals.- 7th. . . That we favor the proper exercise of the ponfrs conferred upon the national govern- ment ¬ L'r tne constitution to regulate commerce between vi e States , and to , end we recom- mend ¬ that tL * government establish and ope- rate ¬ a double tijct railway from the Missouri river to the Atlantic seaboard.

That the present so-called Quaker In- dian ¬ i oUev has failed to afford either benefits to the Indians or protection to the frontlrr set- tlers ¬ , and we therefore demand the transfer of the management ot the Indians to the War De ¬ partment.- 12th. . . That we favor the reapportionment of- Btate representatives through the enactment of- a new constitution at the earliest practicable d y consistent with our present fundamental lav , and that we recommend the submission to the direct vote of the people in a separate arti- cle ¬ at the time the proposed new constitution Is voted upon , the questions of "Prohibition , " "Local Option , " and license.- 13th . , That we approve the acts of Congress tvhlch put the rights of all citizens under pro- tection ¬ of the National authorities when they ere availed by hostile legislation , or by the vi- olence ¬ of armed associations , whether open or- ecretf.and In view of the recent outrages In the southern States , wn demand the enforce- ment ¬ of the laws that these rights may bo se- curely ¬ and amply nrotecUJ whenever and wher- ever ¬ invaded ; we do , however , disapprove of all unconstitutional legislation , lor the cure of any of the disorders of society , or evils which jirei IJ in our land.- 14th. . .

The action of the conven- tion ¬ touching this subject is decided- ly ¬ aa verse to further reduction under any circumstances. Mn. HATES Is well known to Judge lake as industrious , stud'ous ' , attentive to business , and a fine Bpcoicer. Herald. Yes , Judge Lake knows him , and that is one reason why Judge Lake is for Council and against District Attorney , first , last and all the time.- AN . important opinion has just . been promulgated by Attorney Gen- eral ¬ Williams , touching the right of the Secretary of the Treasury to re- .mit - . fines and penalties under the TJ. 8. Revenue laws. The Attorney Qeneral holds that under section 52, 53 of the revised statutes the Secre- tary ¬ of the Treasury has power to remit fines , penalties , and forfeit- ures ¬ arising under any revenue law when the amount does not exceed § 1,000 , and when there has been no- eummons , inquiry aud statementby- a judge' . MB.VALDO IAOX , one of the most popular Republicans of Burt County , has been nominated for the State Senate from the Sixth Sena- torial ¬ District , comprising "Washing¬ ton and Burt counties. This nomi- nation - is virtually equivalent to an election.- Mr. . . Lynn is represented to us by parties intimately acquainted with him , as being a man of unswerving integrity and unquestioned capaci- ty. ¬ . The Republicans of his district may , therefore , be congratulated ppon their choice. WHEN'Mr. Augustus "Weis sub- scribed ¬ one hundred dollars toward converting the Omaha Pott into a Bourbon organ , he did act dream that "Weinstein , Mader & Co , ex- pected ¬ to sell him out in the Demo- cratic ¬ convention. That was a very poor investment for Mr. Weis , but he ougnt to have known better. THE Louisiana controversy mud- dle ¬ is. after all , likely to come to a peaceable solution at the coming Ktate election. Telegraphic advices trom New Orleans announce the final consummation of a compact by which both parties agree to main- tain ¬ good order and abstain from a resort to intimidation , either through the intervention of military force or armed white leaguers. "Whether the followers of Kellogg and Mc- Enerywill - faithfully abide by the compact , remains , however , to be seen- .St . John Goodnch was next loud- ly ¬ called for and advanced to give his views to the multitude.- He . thought every word Miller said was true. * Herald. Before Mr. Saint John Goodrich became a candidate on the Bourbon ticket , he always bore a high repu- tation ¬ for veracity. But when Mr.- St. . . John Goodrich undertakes to make people in this part of the coun- try ¬ believe that every word Miller eays is true , he lays himself liable to the suspicion that he is either suffering from mental aberration , or that his anxiety for office has in- duced ¬ him to impose upon the cred- ulity ¬ of his friends. "We venture to say that Mr. Goodrich cannot find another man in Nebraska , not ex- cepting ¬ the "twin" brother , who believes every word Miller says. Lot no man hesitate or hlgglp about mere personal or side Issues. The best ticket , State and county , evr presented to this people for their suffrages elves the good men of Douglas the power to strike a blow for good government that tiicy have never had so good an opportunity to strike before. Charge , Democrats ! Charge Herald. Yes , charge ! Democrats , charge ! ' Charge for Morton J Charge for Miller ! Charge for the old fogy ring.- "With . the exception of all the other Demecratic tickets that hayo been nominated in the past fifteen years , It is the best , the very best , ticket that ever , etc. By the way, was there ever a Democratic ticket nominated thiitwas not pronounced the best that ever , eto. Therefore , charge ! Democrats , charge ! Charge along the whoje Bourbon line. THAT eminent Lancaster County reformer Mr. Chapin , who for many years was the chief of a plundering land grab ring at Lincoln , has tak- en ¬ the stump as an Independent candidate for the legislature- .It . must be decidedly edifying for people who are familiar with Chap- in's - record to Jjsten to his soul sterring harrangues aeamst porrop- tion - as embodied in the Kennard Stout ring. Where was Chapin during the memorable Butler Im- peachment ¬ ? Was not this same high-toned re- former ¬ tlfe Stout-Keunard ring can d'date for Governor two years ago Where were his active sympathie during the penitentiary investiga- tion , and why did he then exhibi such extreme anxiety to help th corrupt ring ? The BEE has alway been in favor of genuine political purification , but it does net expect to purify the political air with rotten eggs. WORK has at last been actively inaugurated on the Nebraska Trunk road between Nebraska City and Brownville. The worJi is being don under the supervision of Docto Converse , President of the Midland Pacific. It is expected that the road will be completed to the Otoe coun- ty line by January 1st. According to the .Nebraska City Press , work will also be commenced at an earlj day on the Brownville & l 't. Kear- uey road , which is to be tied and ironed as soon as men and money can do ic. This is cheering news for for Nebraska City and Brown ville. It is to be hoped that our Oma- ha capitalists will see to it tha- thegap'lbetwpen Qraaha & Nebraska City shall be closed within the nex twelve months. Omaha has so far said much and done very little in furthering this important enterprise , but we believe the time is not dis- tant when our business men will put their shouldcis to the wheel and. push the Nebraska trunk" road to final completion. AND now , horror of horrors , the Council Bluffs papers threaten to organize a company of bridge ex- ploders ¬ , who shall , in case of emerg- ency ¬ , blow up or undermine the Union Pacific bridge. The impend- ing ¬ emergency Is pointed out clearly enough to be when the Iowa roads shall insist upon delivering their freight and passengers to the Union Pacific in the Omaha depot. His- torical ¬ precedents are cited which resulted in the destruction and abandonment of the first bridge , that spanned the Mississippi river at Rock Island. The Nonpariel concludes its incendiary documents as follows : "This is hlstcrv , and the sequel is , that the wholesale merchants of St. Louis , undaunted still , determining that they had rights , and that those rights must be observed , levied an assessment upon thenibel ves many firms agreeing to pay as much as one thousand dollars each for the purpose of hiring some man , or men to destroy that bridge.- Thfc . result was p-obably never en- tirely ¬ satisfactory to either party en- gaged ¬ in the controversy , but that bridge , long since torn down , serves as a reminder to the railroad nabobs wha think that they can defy lotfa legislation , Iowa law , Iowa courts , and Iowa citizens , of the fact that the people are sovereigns in tula country and that there is such a thing as taxing their patience be- vood - endurance , " LANCASTER COUNTY. Political Reformers on the War Path.C- orrespondent . ( of the BEE. ) LINCOLN , Sept. 23- .EDITOI . : OXAHA BEB : On our way to the postofflce Sat- urday ¬ afternoon , a flaming poster announced that J. W. Sharts and W.P.Chapin , "People's" candidates for the Legislature , would address the citizens of Lincoln this evening at the Opera House. At half-past seven or eight o'clock we entered the hall and found Mr. Sbarts read- ing ¬ and commenting on an editorial which appeared in the Blade of re- cent ¬ date Mr. Sharts is not a very good reader , but by close attention we caught the sentiments expressed in the editorial , which are as fol- lows ¬ : The article charged the Journal with being the tool of the ring , but denied that the rank and file of the party followed or accepted the ring men as leaders. He endorsed the article with many flourishes , and declared that there was a ring, but that the rank and file of the Repub- lican ¬ party bcomed to be its dupes. Then the gentleman gave us that portion of his extemporaneous speech which had been carefully committed to memory. He indulg- ed ¬ his imagination with a fiight to- heaven. . He wondered what tome. Republicans would do , when after having safely reached the desired heven , they would glance over their shoulder and see some lucky demo- crat ¬ there a thing altogether im- possible. ¬ . .After careful considera- tion ¬ , he concluded that said repub- lican ¬ "would jump over the battle- ment ¬ and take a nine days tumble to hell" a move which we think he would certainly be justified in- making. . The brethren cheered at that , though we failed to see a very high older of wit in the afar fetched remark- .He . tben took up bjs record as a soldier , and demonstrated to the satisfaction of al } present that he was not au officer , but a smooth faced boy in the ranks. It w a a Union regiment he belonged to, and when he stated that out of the nine hundred which left Cincinnati , sev- en ¬ hundred were sleeping under the sod of old Virginia , the audience , true to their ojd democratic instinct , cheered again. Ybat there was { o cheer over in the loss of "seven }iun- dred - Union soldiers , we cannot un- derstand. ¬ . After apologizing for bis physical inability to make a sneeeh , he retired.- Hon. . . W. F. Chapin undertook to prove that he was just as good a Re- publican ¬ as Tom Keanard , by prov- ing ¬ Tom a rascal. Now proving Kennard a rascal did not help him , any more tiian proving Til ton a lib- ertine ¬ would clear Beecher. What- ever ¬ Kennard may be, and we don't think much of him as a politician , Chapin did not harm him nor help himself. Chapin dld'not'propose to confine himself to county matters , but discussed national finance , the Kellogg muss , and other questions that were too heavy for him. Like Sharts , he did not expect to make a speech , so told them that he would address them again , and retired. There were seventy-five or one hundred , at the most , supporters of the opposition present , who admit that it was , to say the least , very discouraging to reformers. As to the sucpess of the opening meeting of the campaign for thp opposition , with few present and rambling re- marks ¬ by candidates , we leave your readers to Judge , This wo know ; Republicans are highly elated , the opposition discouraged. The funeral of A. M. McCandless took place on Sunday , at 10 o'clock. The following gentlemen were ap- pointed ¬ by tup Pjr | Association as pallbearers : General Cobb , E. E. Brown , M H. Sessions , T. M. Marquett , S. B. Haley , D. G. Hull , J. R. Webster.- W. . . J. Lamb , W. F. Cbapin , Pare : England , J. H. Ames , ( ; . S. Mont gornery. Appropriate resolution were adopted.

E.Djxon- My attention has just been direc- ted ¬ to the following communication in-your issue of the 25th inst. : (Communicated ) Fair Play. EDITOR BIE i i- I am a Republican , and above al things desire the success of the Re- publican party at the _ coming elec tion.I . am reliably informed that a cer- tain ¬ aspirant to the United States Senatorship , whose popularity among Republicans happens to be below par from hjs past political re- cord ¬ , has cnme among ua 'to' influ- ence ¬ the decision of Republicans by smuggling Democratic voters into our primaries. Now while I desire to see fair play and am willing to concede to every capdidate the priv- ilege ¬ of contesting his claims In an honorable manner , I protest against suoh manipulation , and warn him of the ponspquence- .We . want a' fair expression 'or the Republican sentiment , and J hope every Republican will come to the primaries and vote for men who represent his wishes. H.R.- If . I am the person to whom refer- ence ¬ is here made , I desire to say in answer thereto that I have not only not thought of "smuggling Demo- cratic ¬ fotere" into the "Omaha pri- maries ¬ , but , on the contrary, have from the first refused to aid in s'tir- riug - up the dirty pools , whose stench has heretofore filled the nostrils of the entire State. It Is well known to all factions in Omaha that I have made an earnest effort to induce , without strife , the formation of a legislative ticket , composed of able and honorable men , who would command the respect , confidence , and , support of the Republican voters of that county. It is true that I have requested Republicans to nominate from this class of citizens , men whom I could reason- ably ¬ expect to consider fairly , and impartially , the candidacy of an old resident of Omaha , sixteen years of whose life were spent with them in assisting to develop every material interest Beyond this I have made DO demand , no effort- .In . answer to the imputation upon my fealty to party, I have only to say , that during the eighteen years if my residence In Nebraska I have aever , except upon one occasion , roted any other'than the Republi- an - ; ticket. If any among yon can present a clearer record , let him 'cast the first stone. " A. S. PADDOCK- .It .

( clgl Correspondence ot th * SEE. ) "HEADQ'BS Ilf THE SADDLE , " ) NEMAHA Co. , Sept. 28. j Having made the circuit of Xe- maha - county and "captured" a few items , wo propose to "turn them over" to the readers of the BEE. One mile west of Brownville wo stopped to take a look over the mag- nificent ¬ farm of Gov. Furnas , con- sisting ¬ of 220 acres of gently undu- lating ¬ prairie land. Mr. W. H.- Lorance . is in charge of the place during the Governor's absence. The whole farm has been carefully and scientificailyscultivated , and thelOO acres of orchard and nursery are justly fcuid to be without an equal in the west , and we believe that better fruit , t-ither for size or flavor , cannct be found anywhere. Mr- .Lorance . told us that he found no difficulty in disposing of every bushel of fruit at good prices as fast as ripened ; while many persons who have not taken the trouble to engraft their trees , or select the best uarieties , are obliged to feed their fruit to stock , as there is sufficient of the first-class article to supply the market.- A . few miles farther west we pass- ed ¬ the She'ridan mills which have the reputation of turntnc out an ex- tra ¬ good quality of flour. Nemaha county has very little- uncultivated land , as most of it has been under cultivation for fifteen to twenty years , and everywhere you see neatly trimmed hedges , fine orch- ard ¬ , stately groves and spacious hoiibcs and barns , indicating a wealthy and prosperous people.- Mr. . . John Strain ! who has lived here for eighteen years , savs that this is the first time that he has ever failed to get a good crop. There is a constant stream of "movers" passing thiough here , they come from the more western counties of this State , and Kansas , and are re- turning ¬ east , totally discouraged by the entire loss of their crops. They tell sad stories of want and priva- tion ¬ , and that ( hey had to leave or- starve. . Many of these funiiljes will return in the spring , We returned to Brownville on Saturday evening , and were in- formed ¬ that Mr, David Campbell , the city Marshal , had just arrested a couple of men on suspicion of horse stealing. The men had acted strangely and told contradictory stories in regard to the horse they had with them. Theprisonersclaiin- to hail from Omaha.- n . | our last Better wo forgot to inentjon in our list of lead- ing ¬ finns the house of Stevenson & Cross , which does a large business in hardware , agricultural imple- ments ¬ , &c- .Brownville . boasts of the quality of its lager beer , and Jacob Ransch- kelp , who keeps a beerha ] ! on Main t-treetj says" : "It'ish so 'pptt'er 'ash- goot as "dot vet dey makes ofer in- Yarmany. . " In the course of our perambula- tions ¬ around Brownville , we were met by an old gentlemen who wan- ted ¬ to know if wp "wrote those pieces for the BEE. " Qn being an- swered ¬ in the affirmative , he insis- ted ¬ that we should go with him , and he would show us what a Ne- braska ¬ sculptor was able to do. We were taken'into n little 6x10 shop where a workman was busily enca- ged ¬ chiseling the graceful outlines of- an infant from a block of marble. The old centleman proceeded to in- troduce ¬ us , and after a laughable mistake in regard to the kind of- "Bees" in which we dealt , the sculp- tpr - ( Mr. Neidhart ) exhbted { | his master piec'ps , which were certainly the finest we have seen 'in the West , Hp wi | | exhibit hjs work at the State fair , which wijl l > p wpll atten- ded ¬ by the Ipadjjyr fii'rmers and me- chanics ¬ of this county , "RANdEn. " POLITICAL NOTES. Tell us , when did the Democracy Jn the days of its power ever iuves- 'tigate - and expose dishonesty and fraud oommjtted within its own ranks ? Never. George Francis Train has at last relinquished his intention of becom- ing ¬ President of the United States , but we've gone on too far in this experiment of free government to slop now. They don't seem to have many Reformers up at Ripon. When Senator Carpenter , in his speech , qxclaimed , "Where now are your Reformers ? " one of those awfully practical fellows answered , "He's over in the beer-saloon , playing pigeon-hole. " Milwaukee Sentinel. South Carolina is the right place for the deliberate indorsement of the tlijrc } term to emanate froin. It led in the reb'eliion , was foremost in the nullification project , and has been generally of a bad spirit. . It was not more than half loyal during the Revolutionary war. Such a State may well lead in third-term agita- tions ¬ The Republican party is not likely to accept it. Pittabury Qa- zelle - , Returns from the entire state of Vermont , excepting one town.show that at the recent election the Re- publicans ¬ elected 183 members of the lower branch of the Legislature , and the Democrats 48 , while there are tjiree Independents , one Farm- er ¬ , and In flve towns ( here was no- election. . The last House contained 216 Republicans and 32 Democrats and Liberals. Evidently there has J een a good deal cf independent vo- ting ¬ in other parts of the State than Poland's district , Col. James O , Broadhead , who has for years been considered one of the "wheel-horses" of the Missouri Democracy , "has gone back on the party. " Having been invited to take the stump for the Democratic fitatp ticket , up responded in this way : " I 'call never'justify the acts of reconstruction'or the plunder of the southern people in- tlP ) PtJffle of loyalty f J cannot admit that war upon the Radical party must needs be a war upon Union men. Buch , I believe lirmly , is the purpose and spirit of those having charge of the Democratic organization of Missou- ri. ¬ . The tone and language of its organs , the spirit of the address of the Central Committee , and much that was done at the State Conven- tion ¬ , must satisfy the careless obser- ver ¬ of this fact. For my part I want none of such Democracy. I would not oppose Mr. Hardin because he was not a Union man nor favor Mr. Gentry because he was , but when that issue is distinctly made , and I- am told that Democracy means re- bellion ¬ , there is but one course for Be to pursue- .ExPresident . Andrew Johnson Bade an address before thp Agricul- tural ¬ County Fair at Gallatin , Teu- icssee - , the other day , which was , as- jsual , composed of an historical ac- jount - of Mr. Johnson. He had itood by the Union in Its hour of- erll > , aud he thanked God that the lighway which he had traveled , in- jublic position aud life , was not > aved with human skulls , his path vas not strewn with dead men's > ones, and he had never caused any " * " " " 1J of cajroage ft d eJauglv ter. He announced himself as a candidate for the United States Sen- ate ¬ , and reinaiked that when he had been a candidate before he had been betrayed by his friend *. But in this treatment ho modestly -turned for consolation to the fate of other great men , adding with striking effect : "Washing ¬ ton , who led our armies successfully through the Revolution , had his Ar- nold ¬ , Jefferson had his Burr , Jack- son ¬ had his faithless friends , Napo- leon ¬ had his.Ney, and if I were dis- posed ¬ to go farther back still into history and cite other instances , Caesar had his Brutus. Our Re- deemer ¬ had his Judas and his Peter , and it should not be very strange that Andrew Jobn&on had his Ed- ward ¬ and his Henry.
