The Democracy In various localities ha
called Indignation meetings. That can do
no good. The law, the testimony, and the
votes are all gninst them. They have
undertaken to steal the Presidency and
failed. Modification, and not indignation,
meetings would be in order.

A few years ago, an Irish girl came 10
this village. She was the last child to
leave home, and her parents, who were left
in Ireland, suffered untold grief on having
been left alone by their children, all of
whom had sought homes in the New World.
Not long after the arrival Of this girl she
received intelligence of the death Of her
parents, both Of whom, it was stated, died
Of grief on account OF the absence of their
children. This greatly affected the young
lady, and she was taken sick. DR.. PECK
was called and administered to her wants,
furnishing medicine, stimulants and every
thing necessary to restore her 10 health.
She told the Doctor soon after he COM
menced his visits that he was very kind,
but that she had no money to pay him for
his visits or the medicine furnished. He
told her not TO let that trouble her, but to
follow his directions, be cheerful and hope
ful and lie would try to restore her to
health. He was very attentive through
her protraeted illness. She recovered, OBJ
tanned situation in a respectable family,
and offered to pay the Doctor something
out of her meager earnings. lie would
not take it, feeling that she needed 1t most.
That young woman is E,ill living in our
village, and when the death of the Doctor
was announced to her she wept like a
child.

At an early day, when the country back
of Perrysburg was almost boundless
swamp, it was not an uncommon thing to
find whole families sick, one not being able
to wait upon another. Neighbors were far
apart and help out Of the question. One day,
as DR.. PECK was passing house in the
Black Swamp, woman came to the door,
pale and scarcely able to stand. She call
ed him in. The entire family were sick,
the wife and mother being the only one
able to be on her feet, and she only out OF
bed from actual necessity. The Doctor
left medicine with the family, and the poor
woman, in narroting her troubles, stated
that she had not stick Of wood with
which to make FIRE and was totally una
BILE to cut any. The Doctor took up the ak
went into the yard, and cut enough to last
the poor woman several days. 1t was such
acts Of simple kindness that endeared all
hearts 10 the Doctor.

Pioneer Association in this place last Feb

were present. They dined with DR.. PECK
and at the dinner table remarks were
made upon the enjoyment of tbs occasion,
when the Doctor, who was at that time
quite feeble, said he dad not expect to At
tend anosher meeting of the Society, yet If
alive and able to attend he should certain
ly be present. Mrs. Hunt remarked that
life with those of her age was very uncer-

indeed, that both the parties to that con-
versation should die upon the same day

SEEKING NFoRMATIoS.-A. S. Campbell,> of
Severance, writes the wathena Reporter, pro-
pounding certain questions, the purpOrt of all of
which is, that he did not write certain commu-
nication which has several times been referred
to in these columns. Inasmuch as we had pri-
vately assured Mr.. Campbell that his denial to us
was satifaetory, and had also Published an arti-
Gle from him vindicsting himself from the suspi-
cion there was no necessity for his further trying
to prove an admitted proposition. The principal
satisfaction he receives from the Reporter is an
insult. After charging that Campbell stopped
the Reporter because it refused to support him
for Probate Judge, and saying that the commu-
nication in question was evidently not Camp
BELLS because it wRs decently written, the Re
porter compliments him for his independence, and
asks him to send it q list Of subscribers. He

cles in the Exporter like that of the 3Oth OF last

The LOcusts-Countless Millions Deyasta
ting the West.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil of August 18th
has an article on the grasshopper plague, from
which we extract the following:
Passengers on the Union Pacific express which
arrived from the west last evening brought the
intelligence that the destroying grassLoppers
were lighting in vast swarms along the line of
the road in the vicinity of Fremont and Valley
Station. They were present all along the road
from kearney Junction TO the station above
mentioned, and had utterly DESTROYED the crops
IN that part of Nebraska. One man informed us
that the corn stood like poles. entirely divested
OF all the leaves and tasses. The air was literally
hlled with them, and they presented the appear
ance OF heavy snow storm in winter. the
ground at the same time being completely
covered. This was more especially true between
Fremont and Valley Station. So thick we're
they on the track that the express was consi der
ably delayed by the crushing of them on the
rails, making them slippery. When the train
arrived ut the transfer, the engine was literally
covered with the dead carcasses of the pests
which adhered to it-in some places three inches
IN thickness, and emitting a sinell that was
fairly slekening. The tender and the trucks of
the cars were also covered in the same manner
AS to the direction in which they are travelling,
accounts vary, some stating that they are COM
ing east, other that they are moving in a south
westerly direction. The reason many suppose
them To De on the move eastward, is because each
succeeding day finds them further in that direc-
ton. week ago they were at Kearney day
before Yesterday ut Schuyler; yesterday at Val
ley Station, only thirty miles west of this point.
lhe suppositIon Of their moving in this direction
because of the above reasons we are inclined to
think is erroneous.

s'stick to the Parry,

This is the exhortation of the Atchison Cham
pioR, regarding the Judgeship. Ordinarily, it is
good advice; but there are times and occasions
when party considerations should not have any
weight. Those Republicans who are opposed to
Judge Hubbard are not actuated by personal
feelings, but by firm conviction that he is unfit
for the position. Had the Atchison Republicans
presented any good man against whom this feel
ing did not exist, Doniphan County would have
stuck to the ticket. But knowing how obnox-
ious he was, and that the spirit of the party re-
belled against him, they determined to force his
nomination, and to secure his election by the free
use of the party whip. Even then, had he won
by fair fight, there wonld have been some rea-
son to ask Republicans to stick to the ticket but
after Hubbard was fairly beaten in the primaries,
his nomination was secured by bribery and out
rageous fraud. No Republican is under obliga-
tion to support such a nominee and no Repub-
lican of Independent spirit will do it.
In the light of the past, this advice to stick to
the ticket comes with bad grace from the Atcb-
ison Champion, and the class of Republican man.
ayers that it represents. In 1868, Nathan Price,
of Doniphau County, was the Republican nomi-
nee for District Judge, and this same A. G. Otis
was the regular Democratic nominee. Did the
Champion beg of the Atchison Republicans to stick
to the tcketf Yes, to all of it but the oniphan
County candidate, Price. 1t contained frequent
appeals to the party to stand by the ticket, but
never spoke word in favor of Price Just be-
fore the election, it contained a long editorial,
commenting the Republican candidates by name,
from President down to the lowest County office,
but taking care to omit the name of Price for
Judge. In the election, Atchisou County gave
the Republican ticket over 800 majority, but
gave Otis majority of over 200 against Price-a
difference of about 600 votes. That is the way
Atchison County stuck to the ticket, when
Doniphan County man was the Republican nom-
inee.
The Republicans of Atchson County set the
example of voting for Otis against the regular
nominee of their own party, and we want to see
the Republicans of Doniphan County accept the
man 90 endorsed to them, against bogus nomi-
nee of the Republican party. Atchison County
has come to regard Doniphan County as a sort of
attache, to follow in her wake and do her bid
ding. The Republicans of this County are just
now in the humor to act for themselves. If they
continue in that humor, and give majority
against the fraudulent Atchison nominee that is
overwhelming, We predict that they will be
treated with at least common respect hereafter,
and their wishes consulted.

RATIFICAuON.-The grandest ratification ever
held in the State, came off at Topeka, last Thurs
day night. Thousands were in attendance, and
an immense torehlight procession paraded the
streets. The Atchison Flambeau Club, in their
uniform, made fine appearance, and were accom-
panied by band of music that has but few su-
periOrs. The Fifth Cavaly Band, from Fort
Hayes, was also present. This..band is composed
of Twenty-Five musicians, and perhaps Is one of
the finest bands in existence. The Colonel of
the regiment and the members of the band are
all Republicans, and contributed this music
gratuitously. Speaking took place at the Park,
from three four stands. Reports from all
parts of Kansas give assurance that the Republi-
can majority i'll the STATE, this fall, will be i'm
mense.

II Some correspondent of the st. Joseph Ga
zette, writing over various signatures, from To-
peka, Leavenworth, etc, is trying desperately to
defeat Col. Phillips on paper. Noticing the fact
that Mr.. Haskell, of the I'd District, and Mr.. Ry-
an, of the Sd, both reside on the Kansas Pacific
Railroad, he says the people of Kansas will not
submit to having the remaining Congressman
from the same lire of Railroad, and that they
will demand the nomination of Guthrie. Now,
the people of Kansas don't care straw what
railroad their members of Congress reside on, if
they are the men of their choice. If the Kansas
Pacific Road, extending for 500 miles through the
State, had a dozen congressman residing on its
line, it still would not be even with the gobbling
town of Atehison, in the way of ofice-holders.
And the Republicans Of Kansas will be hard up,
when they have to be directed by Democratic
paper of Missouri what to do. Everything now
indicates that Col. Phillips will be nominated
without serious opposition.

~ 1t is remarkable that the State Convention
nominated every candidate for whom the wathe-
na reporter had a preference. That virtnous
sheet had preference for George 7. Anthony,
because he is opposed to the Subsidy Pomeroy
corruptionists. We dislike to spoil 50 nice a
dish, but the truth is, George T. Anthony was
one of the warmest supporters Senator Pomeroy
had; and in that one particular, we think An
thongs head was eminently level.

~ The Hubbard forces seem to he determin-
ed to make E. n. Morrill,, of Hiawatha, do full
duty in keeping their candidate from sinking.
At the time of the nomination, it was stated that
Morrill, made a speech at the ratification ; that
bonfres were lighted, and a band of music was
in attendance. Now comes the wathena Report
er, and says it supports Hubbard because E. N.
Morrill, does. Morrill, never made a speech at a
Hubbard ratification; the bonfres and band
spoken of were in the service of a ladies' church
festival, adjoining the building in which the
Convention was held; and-has anybody ever
heard t. n. Morrill, say he was in favor of Hub
harfif
