Omaha correspondence.
OMAHA, October i0'b, 1874.

Mr. MILLIKAN: II
The campaign in this county is passing
off very gently, owing 10 the limited lime
elapsing between the legislative nomlna /
tions anu the election. only three days |
more and the election will he upon W, (
and we have scarcely heard OF thc cand !
dates. cot cuurse there Is an object n /
this, II would not do Ia have certain cai- !
didaleS too well know. This oyice proct /
rati0n has become sysiematize0, aud tie !
lew who manipulate the wires FULLY ia
derstand their business. 4 ne manlpuh |
ling rings in Omaha, are no exception 10 !
the general rule; buying and selling, and
that 100 as near in market overt as
common decency Will allow, is the untis
ruiSed resort q. the lew " ho manage po
iilic,sl affairs, ID Work a procurement Ter 3
mutual friend or to cut oil the head VI Il
con iiding tool.
The manner in which this campsign
las bcen conducted, Is simply Disgusting,
and OF The four parties AL aIe equally
guilty-ail equally deserving OF general
condemnation. In this comfy the man
tight is ON the gislative ilcAet, IN view
q. this, the nlaneuverlnss OF the manii,G-
iaiOrs exhibit all The Skill OF tile profess
sional politician, and giaTingly expose The
intrigues, Ov Whlcl they have lOisleu up
on the people men VINO dare not assert
their claim upon Individual merit. We
have had scarcely y eek III which 10 dis
cuss the qualifications OF the candidates
( Tor legislative hOnors, and IL Is We'll Tor y
great many OF them that IL is 80. fOl their
/ chances tor election would be meagTe, in
| deed | predict falling Cd o, The Repair
/ lican majority in this county this fail,
OWING 10 the weakness OF our legislative
! ticket, and the determination OF the Dem
ocrats To secure a majority i'll the DeXt
/ legislature The Herald, the leading
| Democratic Journal in the State, would
willingly give away the entire state tick
ct, il Dy SO doing 1T could secure the cleo
ton ct the legislative ticket. The effort
of the Democracy will be concentrated TO
this end, in order that they may send
J Sterling Morton TO the United States
| Senate. If our county ticket is beaten il
will be from the cause have named, ami
not ir0iu the TACT that the Democracy is
growing stronger. Douglas county is
republican. and there is no danger OF be-
ins beaten SO long as republicans work
for the true interest oi The party.
Gen. Thayer will undoubtedly be re-
turned tn The Senate, To- succeed Upton,
and Crounse to tie House, his own sue
cessor. Col. Savage, the democratic
nominee for Congress, Is one of our
most eminent lawyers, an estimaole citi-
zen. and man OF recognized ability; yet,
| while the same can be SAID OF NJ Crounse,
he knows that he cannot be elected He
is attending strictly to his professional
duties at the bar, of which lie is an hon
ored an lesDected member
There is great deal of consistency in
the request the Hsroftd extends Io the
soldiers 10 vote its ticket; soldier has
been found who has accepted nomina
sion on il. and this forsooth is the reason.
The Herald, always rampant rebel new
er failing To extOll the courage and manly
honor ot the boys in gray" has just as
much love TO day for the boys in blue
as it had during the w ,r, and as 1T soap
ing" them at this late day, comes with
very bad grace, and all its talk about the
gallant soldiers" is for political capital
but is entirely too transparent To mislead
him. Altogether, it is an ill-concealed ef-
fort at patriotism on the part of the Her.
aid, and an insult to the sold ers, who
will resent it ON the day of the election.
/ see by our daily ReUielo that the mar
kets are good. The wholesale and retail
trades are active; but money matters are
lyet little close.
Farmers are taking the advice of the
Granger press, ard are holding on 10
their grain for better price.
Sorpy County is agitated over the pros
lpectiye change of the county seat. SOrpy
Center seems to have the inside track.
The Capitol removal scheme, will be one
OF the great questions our next legislature
will have 20 encounter, and are likely to-
have repetition of the scenes of 1861.
Lincoln succe, ded then, by shrewed polit-
lical management Now the cry is, 'any
thing to bsat Lincoln" and the same
means will Is used this time against her.
We are having glorious weather now,
but rhe cool mornings are.bringing stoves
into demand. SPENCE.
