1t should not take President Hayes
| twenty-fOur hours to gather informa-
| ton enough TO convince him that the

man the exponent is humbug, and
that the people will not have it forced
upon them. The great State of Ohio,
the home of the President and Of the
Secretary of the Treasury has en-
phatically declared against that policy
which is cramping the country in its
every energy and which, if persisted
in, will drag down the whole party to

We indOrse the sentiments express

advocating q national paper currency

triumphant party, and the John Sher
man-administration policy spurned,
defeated, for It is not the one wanted
to prevail by the people away from
the money centers Of the east. And
the people are right. We are glad
that our party platform In Ohio was
voted down and it's constructors re.

this question, the eunmistakable wish

q,Iirer referring to the result of the
election, pointedly and truthfrlIy
says:
1t has not been a battle between
leaders; it has been the more signifi-
cant struggle between ideas. 1t was
the hostile Ideas that met; and chief
among them was the question of fore
ed resumption. John Sherman came
to Ohio, held up the Resumption act
in his right hand, shook it defiantly
in the faces of the people of Ohio,
and swore between closed teeth that
it could and should be executed un-
less repealed. The people of Ohio
have said that it ought to be and shall
be repealed. The Republican party
was entreated to restore the dollar of
the fathers to the currency of the
land, and il refused, Ohio said yes
terday that it should be restored.

Doubts as to the Guilt of Joel Collins.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. I2.-The
Kansas City Times will publish to-
morrow statements to the effect that
grave doubts has been raised as to the
guilt of Joel Collins, who was recently
killed as one of the Union Pacific train
robbers. A prominent law firm at
Topeka has been retained by the faith
er of Collins, highly respected citi-
zen of Dallas, Texas, to investigate
the matter, and enough has been
learned TO justify the statement that
Collins could not have been present
at the time the train was robbed. He
had gone 10 the Black Hills with a
large lot of cattle and wrote his father
that be had sold them at twenty five
cents a pound and received his pay in
gold, nearly $1,000 and from knowl-
edge of his subsequent movements he
could not have been at the Big
Springs robbery. His conduct ut Buff
falO when captured is accounted for
on the hypothesis that he supposed he
had fallen in the hands Ofrobbers and
determined to resist to the end. His
father has determined to vindicate the
reputation of his son. The matter will
be thoroughly sifted.

The Season of Intermittents.

All miaSmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwhOlesome eX-
halations from the earth or water are preva-
lent at this season. In every section subject
to the visitation of fever and ague, or other
forms Of intermittent disease, the causes
which produce these maladies are now ac-
lively at work. This, therefore, is period
Of the year when the inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesOme condition of the at
mOsphere by a course Of tonic and Alternative
treatment. Foremost among the invigOr-
ants, recommended by time and experience
asa means Of fOrtifying the system against
all endemic and epidemic maladies, stands

use Of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of
an unhealthy soil may escape the sickness
which, without the aid of this potent ally Of
nature, will be apt to Overtake the strongest.

One thing Is very certain With all
their smooth talk in praise of Mr..
Hayes and his policy, the Democrats
have no idea of breaking away from
their old party ties togive him and his
policy their support. The theorists
who dreamed off dismembeTment of
the two parties, and break in the
the Democratic ranks, may as well
abandon the notion. We may set it
down as an undnbitable facts that the
Democrats will hold together without
material break anywhere along the
line.-iS. Joe Herald,

Gov. Furnas' Speech.

At the general solicitation, we print
Ex-Governor Furnas' County Fair
speech entire. 1t was an able one,
and will well pay perusal. We can
heartily endorse, from personal knowl-
edge, what the speaker af1irms of the
superiority of Nebraska in soil and
productiveness over other states. The
soil of Nebraska cannot be excelled
and hardly equaled by that of any
State of the Union, and, what is pc
culiar, it is all good. There are no
waste places, swamps, barrens. The
soil, from Kearney west is of lighter
nature than that east; but, though
less adapted for corn, it is splendid
for grazing, and is now being covered
with focks aud herds without num-
ber.-Crete Union.

Some of the man -millineTs of New
York asked Alexander II. Stephens
to act as one of the Vice Presidents at
the Cooper Institute meeting, the rea-
son assigned being that he is an ad-
mirer of Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Stephens
was a rebel and an enemy to the flag
of the United States, but We respect
him far more in his honest, although
wrong-minded, championship of the
lost cause than the milk-and-water
puppies who, underneath the inspir-
ing soat-tails of the old fire-eater, pro-
pose to growl at the heels of the great
Republican mastiff.-I3ter Ocean.

How the Road Agents We're ThWarted
and one Killed.

A Custer dispatch relates that re-
Gently while Henry Meyers freight
ing outfit, with six men, was camped
twelve miles south of here, they were
visited by three men, who cooked
dinner at their camp fire and made
themselves so agreeable that all of the
freigbters except the son of Meyers
gathered about them. Yong Meyers
was suspicious and went to one of the
wagons where he got his shot gun and
remained away from the party.
During the conversation around the
camp fire, one of the strangers admir-
ed shotgun belonging to the freigh-
ters and took it to examine, suddenly
cooked and leveled it. They stepped
between the freighters and their arms
and ordered them to throw up their
hands, saying they would take what
money there was in the the outfit.
At this young Mey ers shot, striking
the stranger in the face and breast.
The robbers whirled and fired at him
but missed. The robber then dropped
the gun and ran, firing at the party
with his revolver, One of the freigh-
ters shot at him with rifle, the ball
striking him in the arm. He fell and
soon after died. The other two road
agents. fed, and are not yet captured.
A party under the deputy sheriff, from
Custer went in pursuit. The body of
the dead robber was taken to Custer,
and iden titled as that of man known
as Texas Frank. 1t is believed that it
was this party who robbed the Sgd
ney coach few nights ago. None of

Senator Conkling in his recent brief
address before convention ofOneida
county Republicans said 4:
l once heard it said that if thirty
nine bishops of the Church of England
should be separated and obliged to ex-
plain their individual views of their
thirty-nine different articles of faith,
there could not he moments doubt
that they would. one and all, differ on
some point. | firmly believe that ev-
cry man in the Republican party
wishes to see the President succeed.
The maintenance and sentiments of
the party are useful, if they are not
essen tial to the country. Bot there
are no dissensiOns in our ranks that
may be dignified with that name.
There is merely a difference of opin-
ion as to the policy pursued by the
President in gaining a desired end.
When this policy shall have been
tried and proven, then shall this diff
ference fall away. Time will cure
them, Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" There will always be
matters of public import that will di-
vide a party to an extent. And in
fact, the Republican party will cease
to he the Republican party when these
differences cease to exist.
These remarks are sensible in the
highest degree, and express the views
feelings an sentiments ofthe Republi-
can party generally. We may not
have faith in the ultimate good re-
suits of the Presidents policies, but
We may at the same time hope for
good results, and rejoice at every sue
cess, whether in accomplishing them
our methods and theories have been
followed or not.
