THAT pledge

James M. Hacker, R.V. Hughes and
is. w. McGrew, were respectfully an
nounced in the late County Republi-
can Convention as candidates
for Treasurer, Probate Judge, and
County superintendent. When these
names were so announced, James NJ.
Hacker, followed by the rest, came
forward and said: Utmost cheerfuIly
submit my claims to this convention,
and pledge my sacred honor as a man
to a hearty support of the ticket,
whether 1 am nominee for Clerk or
nOt.u We have reliable information
that Mr.. Hacker said, previous to the
day he made this pledge, that he
would not announce his name in the
papers as a candidate, subsequent to
the action of the convention, as he
might have to make the race with
Plasters and Bratton, as they had had
some talk about the matter. Now we
submit to the people Of Nemaha
County if suck men can be trusted ?
What warrant have you that if their
interest shall lead them astray, that
the interests of the county will not
suffer. "Their sacred honOrs," did 1
hear you say? Well, what is that
worth, in view of their action ?
Who is there that would believe them
since they have shown you how easily
they can violate their word, most soI-
emnly pledged, and 80 abundantly
witnessed I? ~

The Democracy, in their effort to
deceive and swindle the people, are
not always successful. Knowing that
the same game cannot be played twice,
unless so arranged as to cover up its
deformity, they appear in some new
phase at each stage of the process.
They pull straight when they think
they need no assistance. They blub-
Der over a new convert who joins
hands with n of their number under
the cognomen of johnson party, as at
the Philadelphia Convention. They
call themselves Conservative Republi-
can, when, as just now in the South,
that is the more popular course; or,
they call themselves the peoples union
party, which is their latest outlook in
Nemaha County. It makes but little
difference to them what name they
assume-the end in view is the same.
The same old cOpperheads run it. The
men who intended, and TO the best of
their courage and ability worked for
the obstruction Of the Union, are the
managers, leaders, workers, aiders and
abetters in the movement in this coun-
ty. Knowing their own unpopular
ty, they strive to do their work, not
directly, but indirectly, through the
influence and popularity Of men who
have heretofore stood well with the
loyal people of the County and State.
The fangs are readily seen under the
cover of loyalty, and none but ''sore-
heads and q few of their immediate
friends. will venture into the jungle

PrIvateIx

We wish TO say a few words espec-
tally to the people of Brownville. We
take it for granted that no one haF2
bors the idea that we are not thor
Oughly devoted to every material in
terest which the most sanguine be-
lieves of Importance to the present
and future growth Of young and
thriving city. When there are Obsti-
cIes thrown in our road which tends
TO prevent the accomplishment of our
purpose, we then endeavor to do the
best be can under the new phase the
case presents.
BrownviIle complains at times that
her welfare is being opposed by sec
tons of the county whose location
throws them within the influence of
other points of trade. Now, Our i'm
quiry is, has not the people of Brown
vile contributed somewhat to the
fuel which blazes in this direction p
What strength has she shown that
will elicit confidence and respect,
drawing the people of the county
closer to this point? Since we became
the editor of the ADVERTISER, we
have done what seemed to as right,
just and ~prOper-tO cultivate a more
fraternal feeling with all sections Of
our common county, and to some ex-
tent we have been successful. In all
this time the people of BroWnville
have been divided-presented no COM
mon front. By this course they have
frittered away their strength, and lost
that respectful consideration which
her position and her numbers entitle
her to, and would command were we
united. The result has been, and is,
that precincts one-haIf our numerical
force, but united on one common OBJ
ject, lead us in the race, and will con-
tinue so to do so long as we hold di-
vided council. aL -lbI .-si1.
We have said this much in view Of
the fact that many good Republicans
feel as though what the Democrat
charges is true-that Mr.. Higgins is
and will be opposed to our interests
There is nothing surer than that he
will be elected; and in view of this
fact two widely differing policies are
being adopted by our people. "A few
oppose him, and viii vote against
him. This opposition here in town
him unites the country to a
man, and the consequence is that our
action makes the man our enemy,
whether he would be or not. This is
human nature. And to this we at

The other course, the one we have
adopted, is to work for his election

that Brownville holds no Ill will

neighbOr and citizen and then trust
whatever of interest we have at stake
10 his natural sense of justice and his
liberal judgement. Our word for it
we will secure a friend at court it is

himself, even if previously disposed.
Now let the Republicans of Brown

and show to the balance of the
that we are above such mean
Influences, and the balance of the

The genius who presides over the
Democrat in bis late effort to bolster
up what he terms the peoples union
ticket" endeav0rs to excite the peo-
pie Of BrOwnville against what he
terms the Convention ticket. Hes says
the peoples union tickets Brownville
ticket; and the Republican ticket is
opposed to the interests of Brownviile
and SO he very pompously comes to
the rescue of Brownville, In his sup
port of the mongrel ticket, gotten up
by the Democracy of B~ronnvilTe.
The Republican ticket compreheuds
the entireinterests of this County, It is
opposed to none of the material inter-
.ests of the county, and favOrs all. 1t
is not a bundle of prejudices, as the
democrat supposes t; and it will be
useless for that paper to excite the
good people of BrownviIle against any
of its candidates.
