of Ohio For Clerk of District Court CHARLES METTZ of Salem For Superintendent of Public Instruction 8 WITMAN of Rulo For Coroner STAYER of Salem Far Surveyor MILLER of Falls City The corn crop of Iowa is estimated at 300000000 bushels Judge Brqady has finally determined to decline to run for supreme judge and has so informed the democratic state central committee As the market stands now a vote for Martin is worth two votes against any man on the democratic ticket except treasurer They are still demanding an even up trade on Jack Walsh John Gagnon of Rulo has been traded every time the democrats have put him on their ticket The Journal is surprised that John should consent to he a foil for Martin and Walsh this year Uncle Mitchell of tiarada who fills up a hole on the independent ticket is a democrat who used to tell the democratic conventions we did it back in Uncle Mitchell is all right as a farmer hut he would make a sad mess of it in the county office with his remembrances of Illinoy law The time has come for the republicans to make a wide-open fight in this county No still hunt goes this year Both the democrats and independents have handicapped themselves and are already on the run' The republicans need but to open up the batteries go out and camp on the trail of our friends the enemy and they are ours Next week we will publish the speech of Judge Post before the republican state convention made in accepting the nomination for supreme judge In it occurs these words: platform of a candidate for a judicial office should he the constitution and the law and the solemn oath of office that he ThatTs a good enough platform for The Journal The opening of the Indian territory lands last month was accompanied bj the usual rush of people who were crazy to get a slice of it It septus strange that if as is claimed owning land in the west is such a burden to the owner that so many people wish to acquire a burden There were at least five men for every claim and of course the other fhur will have to come hack disappointed The Journal publishes the names of the members of the county central committee If the member of the committee in your township get the proper move on him Jog his memory It that answer ask the county central committee to appoint a new man This campaign made for the fun of the thing and nobody was put on the committee for loafing or purely honorary purposes The republicans of Richardson county can endorse every line of the platform adopted by the state convention last Thursday It is clear candid and emphatic Read it in another column and compare it with the platforms of the other parties You will not find iny ward politics bait for votes endorsement of any foolish and revolutionary policy or 80-cent dollars in it Richardson county in favor of any of these things and will hail with pleasure the work of a convention that had the backbone to come out flat-footed against them The Richardson county delegation to the state convention followed its instructions to the letter and staid by Judge Reese until all hope was lost In the campaign preceding the convention there had been so much feeling stirred up between the Reese men and the Cobb men that the Cobb men would not go to Reese and the Post men had sufficient strength to nrevent a nomiation It was probably the best way to settle the matter to divide the differences of the two leading candidates and unite on i Judge Post whom the whole party can give a hearty support Albert Post whom the republican state convention nominated for associate justice of the supreme court is a resident of Columbus Platte county and is now one of the two judges of that judicial district having been elected by a majority of 1100 while the district is democratic by a majority of 400 He is a man in the prime of life and of considerable experience on the district bench having held that office for several successive KLAXWB'S OPINION Mr Conger has published the following letter from Mr Blaine: Stan wood Bab Habbob Me Sept 22 Colonel AI Conger Akron My Dear Sir: Your favor received: I cannot taka part in the Ohio campaign this year for many reasons which I need not give bat I hop no effort will be pared to elect McKinley His victory at this time is very importrnt to the country and to the party He and Mr Campbell represent the honest differences between the two parties at this time There is no dodging and no evasion and the voter need not be deceived The election of McKinley means the policy of protection and honest money The election of Campbell means free trade and the corruption of currency I believe Ohio will stand by McKinley Very sincerely yours JamssGBiainb The differences noted by Mr Blaine as existing in Ohio are those in Nebraska also and no voter need be deceived The republican party is for protection reciprocity where it will do us good and honest money That platform is as good in Nebraska as it is In Ohio and Mr McKinley will be a winner in the latter state WABHIEOTOE LETTER An IaterMtimg Budget of Gossip from hi Special Correopeadeat Washington Sept The president has it is understood here decided that Estee of California shall enter his cabinet when the reorganization made necessary by the retirement of Secretary Proctor and the expected retirement of Attorney General Miller takes place It is yet uncertain whether Mr Estee will become attorney general or secretary of the interior as Secretary Noble will probably be given-tbe privilege of exchanging his present portfolio for that of attorney general if be wishes to do so and it is believed that he does Mr Estee would probably have gone into the cabinet when it was first organized hut he declined serving in any place except that of attorney general or secretary of the interior and both of these places had been tendered to and accepted by the present incumbents before the president was made acquainted with Mr Es wishes Secretary Foster will go to Ohio about the first of October to take the stump for McKinley His speeches will in the main be upon financial topics although he will not slight state affairs upon which few men in Ohio are so well posted The secretary takes special pleasure in recalling the doleful predictions which the democrats have made of the coming crash in the treasury ever since he became its head and of the ease with which the treasury has passed evejry predicted crisis not only without default or deficit hut with casnto spare All these things he will tell the Ohio voters in his own inimitable style He will also show them with indisputable figures that the present democratic predictions of future bankruptcy are as wild and baseless as were all of those which have gone before Postmaster General Wan a maker ever alite to increasing the efficiency of the postal service had the division superintendents of the railway mail service of the entire country here this week in order that they might confer and give each other the benefit of their individual experience in improving the service The improvement of the mail servicq has been continuous from the time it came back into the hands of the republicans somewhat crippled on account of the inefficiency of a large number of the employes appointed by the Cleveland administration but the Improvement daring the fiscal year ending June 30 last as shown by the official reports was something npacvelous and reflects great credit upon everybody connected with the service in any capacity lie railway mall clerks distributed 3500 -000000 pieces of mail matter which was 750000000 more pieces than were distributed the previous year and only one error to each 4193 pieces handled was made against one error for each 2799 pieces the previous year and the number of complaints have been fewer than ever before while the complimentary letters from business houses have never been so numerous The superintendents say that the present fiscal year will show a marked Tmprovement upon the last good as that was Secretary Foster has made a compromise with the lawyers representing the importers who under a recent decision of the courts were entitled to a rebate on all of a certain class of hat trimmings imparted for some vears It is thought that the sum to be paid under the compromise will be some where in the neighborhood of $8000-000 whereas if the parties had stuck (Hit for all that the could have been awarded by the courts the amount would have been largely in excess of $20000000 besides the costs of defending the numerous suits The compromise is regarded as an economical one The president is almost ready to announce a number of important appointments and it will not be surprising if some of them are made before this letter is' put in type Republicans who have allowed themselves to be led estray by the idea that southern democrats who have joined the alliance would combine with them in forming a national third party the principal object of which would be to right the real and fancied wrongs of the agricultural and laboring classes may find food for thought in the following positive language used by Senator Ransom of North Carolina a state in which Colonel Polk president of the national farm alliance aaffs the alliance is ready to go into the third party movement Senator Ransom says: is no third party in North Carolina and there will not be The alliance with ies inown democratic and will remain The American Congress of Physicians and Surgeons and the American Bornological society have held largely attended meetings here this week the

OUR Editor Journal: Everybody has it that this is a great and free country So great and tree so big and liberal are we that we can allow people the privilege or raving betimes By turn men lose their heads over politics religion and what not Surely we are not getting to be a land of monomaniacs Even here in this healthy burg we find citizens who have caught tjie itch of romancing The editor of the News for instance in the last issue of that paper has soared away Into vacancy and screams out that there is a war a religious war on hand On one side he beholds a standing army of one: on the other a few who exist only in the luminous imagination of the editor of the News The carnage is to be great so terrible that Arbela Waterloo and Gettysburg are hut painted sketches in comparison If the News man has no objection we would like to tell him that his war is a tempest in a teapot He reminds us of that line in Horace so familiar to school days: laborat et nas-cetur ridiculus mountain was in labor and the offspring was a puny At any other time the visioHS of the News would be passed by as idle wind but as he is posing as the mouthpiece of the democratic nominee for treasureship we must assume that his remarks of last week are only the echo ot the method of campaign pursued by that good gentleman Hence there is method in his lunacy To convince him and those whom it may concern that the democratic organ is beside itself and that it has tried to traduce the many to bolster up this one we will state a fact or two If any onp snould make war on the man in question it should be the writer of these lines as he is considered the aggrieved party Now it is a fact that the writer has neviy asked any man Catholic or non-Catholic to vote against Mr Walsh To him Mr Walsh and his clique are as if they never existed 2nd No body else is making war on himon religious grounds How could they? He is the man a sort of lay adviser in clerical matters in Richardson county a professor of Christian doctrine in Sunday school and leader of the church choir Surely these things show him to be orthodox enough to please the ultra-religious The true inwardness of the whole business lies in the fact that the democratic aspirant to the treasureship has gone out of his way to do a mean unmanly act He has plead guilty in the matter Now every high minded American of whatever party or creed despises the disturber They like men who can can say yes and no to the saute question who run with the hare and hunt with the hound who is with and against at once The story of Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde is a carious romance but the man who that character on the stage of moral or official life is sure to go down unwept and unsung to the grave of the political ungodly The News and his por-tege think this a religious war fools these mortals Do they know that in thus talking they are diagnosing their own malady They should remember that all things look yellow to iaundiced eyes King From Ablest Financier Omaha Bee In a recent interview Senator Sherman was asked how the free and unlimited coinage of silver would affect the wage earner and the farmer and his reply was so cogent and convincing as to merit the tdest circulation He said: Business men financiers and speculators constantly make a study of the financial conditions which surround us It would be very easy for them to increase the price of every commodity of life lust in the ratio and perhaps in a greater one that the purchasing power of silver becomes less in the markets of the world The farmer who gets a few more cents a bushel for his wheat with a debased currency will not quickly realize that the increased price for the fruits of his toil is more than eaten up by the decrease in the par-chasing power of a silver dollar The wage earner will be still a greater suffer because he is the last element of our active life the compensation of whom responds to an increase in the cost of living In fact he is the last one considered when an inflated currency marks Up the price of goods in the store or products in the market If there is any human being who has a deep interest ia preserving the standard of our values it is the farmer and the laboring man to whom this appeal for more money has a very ducti ve sound Bat it is franght with evils and dangers to them which they shoe Id be made to thoroughly appreciate This states the case as clearly and fully as any intelligent man can require and the position is founded on immutable economic principles and supported by all human experience It is not capital that suffers from a debased and depreciating currency but labor It is not the manufac REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Adopted st Lincoln September 94 1891 by the State Convention The republican party of the state of Nebraska dives renewed expre -ion of Its devotion to the principles of the republican party and dec lures that those principles as expressed by the national republican convention should be the strong: point Of union between all republicans in the state of Nebraska We congratulate the people upon the marvelous prosperity attending the development and growth of the state of Nebraska during its twenty-four years of statehood under republican administration anil which has brought us to the front rank among the leading states of the union and we can fearlessly assert that no state which has been by democratic poysr during any considerable time of the ssime perirsl can compare with us in the economical management of public affairs iu the raid ratio of increase in population wealth and general prosperity notwithstanding the fact th it there are within tne borders of the state a number of dissatisfied persons who took advantage of the general financial depression which swept over the entire country to pave their way iuto temporary prominence by declaiming against the welfare of our people and slandering the fair name of our state The rains from heaven and the rich soil vigorously cultivated by the enurgetic hands of our farmers have produced sucii bountiful crops and such unrivaled prosperity that shall silence all calamity talkers anil arid to the strength and enthusiasm of the republican party We congratulate President Harrison npon his eminently wise loyal and courageous administration and declare our absolute confidence in his integrity ability and patriotism and pledge him our cordial support in the discharge of the duties devolving ujs in him as the chief magistrate of the nation We rejoice in the restoration5 dignity vigor and statesmanship in the conduct of our foreign affairs under the guiding hand of America's favorite son James Blaine STRONG SILVER PLANK We approve of the silver coinage act of the present administration by which the entire product of the silver mines of the United States is added to the currency of the people but we denounce the democratic doctrine of free and unlimited coinage of silver as a financial policy Liable to precipitate the people of every city and every state in the nnion in a prolonged ami disastrous depression and delay the revival of business enterprise and prosperity so ardently desired and now so apparently near The free and unlimited coinage of silver would tend to the hoarding of gold and to foroe the use of cheap money in toe payment of wages in every workshop mill factory store and farm and tend to the scaling down of the wages of the toilers and weakening the purchasing power ot the dollar which would he need to purchase the products of the farmer We are iu favor of having every dollar as good as any other dollar We demand the maintenance of the American system of protection American industry and labor the policy that has been identified with every period of onr national prosperity Walmire the genius of that heroic statesman William McKinley jr whom the people of Ohio will make their next governor as a recognition of his magnificent services to the country We also qommend and endorse that policy of reciprocity by which the Central and South American nations and the Spanish Indies ore being opened up to onr trade npon favorable terms and by which all the snrplns products of our country may find a market and by which all our people shall receive in exchange therefor a long line of products which do no not produce ruinous competition amoag our own jieople nor destroy tne developing industries of our country We are heartily in favor of the general provisions of the interstate commerce act and we demand the regulation of all railway and transportation lines in such a manner as to insnre fair and reasonable rates to the producers and consumers of the country vVe favor such legislation as will prevent nil illegal combinations and unjust exactions by aggregated capital and corporate powers We insist npon the suppression of all trnsts combines and schemes designed to artificially increase the price of the neceseariesof life We regard the Columbian exposition as an important event in the history ami we are in hearty sympathy with every effort to make it a success We should make a creditable exhibition of products and we favor an additional appropriation by the next legislature for this purpose that oar prosperity and greatness may be fully exemplified We take pride ini this' state We recognize that its-growth and power its prosperity and good name have been the fruits of its industrial people and we believe in such policies state and national as will promote 'justice and widen the opportunities among these classes To their support in the fnture as in the past we pledge our most intelligent judgment and most sincere endeavor DEMOCRACY DENOUNCED We denounce the Grand Island platform of the democratic party as framed with the deliberate purpose to misleod and deceive wherein sympathy is expressed where none is felt: wherein help is proposed where none is rendered wherein purposes are avowed which are not entertained In support of this indictment we point to the pretended friendship for the soldier while at the same time the democratic party has alway proclaimed against the granting of liberal pensions to the free silver plank intended to deceive the supporters of free and unlimited coinage of silver when it is known that many of the leaders of the party are opposed to the doctrine to the failure to give the ieople relief from exhorbitant freight rates while it was afraid to either approve or cenBure the action of its acting alien governor for vetoeing the Newberry bill We denounce the democratic party for its insinuations against the integrity of the supreme efiurt of the state as an effort to make the jndicial powers subordinate to political parties and as disgraoefu' to a political organization We denounce the democratic party for its double dealing with the civil and political right--of the people wherein it appears to iavor free and untramnieled elections in the state of Nebraska bat never raises its voice against the political outrages practiced against the republican voters white and black throughout Undemocratic states of the south We arraign the democratic party as the enemj of labor scheming to break down the defense ot protective laws to block the wheel of home industry and to degrade the masses of the people a party controlled by aristocratic and sectional tendencies the legacy of slavery The republican party Nebraska appeals to the intelligence and to the integrity of the people of this state and from nil good citizens we invite support Republican County Central Committee The republican county central committee elected at the convention September
