Nebraska advertiser., 1877-11-01

the tone of a Baptist exhorter, he In
formed the assembled crowd of men
and boys that he was an old teacher
who had resigned his position. That
when he went out of school-work
there remained an opening. 1t was
in mercantile business, and as deputy
post master. These onerous duties he
has performed in ]. s. Minnick's met
ropolitan store, in Aspinwall. He
has as many children as Crother and
is not bit more slow; would put In
100 days. Believed six hours good
days work. Gilbert spoke more sem
sibly and at greater length than any
who preceded, but as be did not hold
his head In position to suit me, I shall
hasten to refer briefly to the Great
Mogul. He who has been kept back
to do the slandering; to contradict the
candidates, by endeavoring to prove
men whom they esteem honest, pub
lie thieves traducing character; rid
iculing those there in professional Ca
pacity, whose politics differs blow
ing An talking and telling laughable
incidents, but misrepresen ting at
at every step, as can be proved to the
satisfaction of any reasonable man,
not one of his plant tools. AS a
breezy ass, Howe has no equal, and is
fully as inspiriting to men too feeble
minded to appreciate good sense. He
is the "abler and better speaker"
whom we had been waiting to hear
for an hour. Instead of connected
argument based upon absolute and ir-
resistible facts told in fair language,
such as an honorable man would use,
this Granger ~ began TRADE which
for senseless abuse has never been
surpassed by the worst billingsgate
woman. Instead of urging substan-
tial truths. he insinuates corruption.
Instead Of making direct and action
able charges he merely uses language
intended to deceive, and leaves infer
ences to be drawn unsustsined by
facts. For instance, instead of say
ing directly that Stull drinks, a thing
which he dare not do, he says Look
at his red nose. He is recommended
by the bar, perhaps the whisky bar. !"
Instead ofshowing what the Indepen-
dents have actually done, he skillfully
presents that which has taken place
since the rise of the party as all due to
them, whereas, the reform has been
from Republican sources and accom-
plished by Republican officers. For
instance, the reduction of salaries was
represented last night I'm such way as
to make unthinking people believe
be was the instrument that did the
work, whereas it was introduced by
Senator from Richardson, bat re-
nodded by the committee on count ties
of which B. I. Hinman, Democrat,
w. NJ. Knapp and G. II. Vanwyck,
Republicans, were the members.
Further, the member. from Richard
son is an Independent of an entirely
different stripe, being an out and out
greenbacker.
Instead of taking the field fairly as
against Col. Majors, he ISLANDERS his
father, man known of all men for
his strict political and business integ-
rity. He strives to create a prejudice
by insinuating practices which he is
too cowardly to declare positively,
and which he knows to be base fabri-
cations. He also intimates tha Henry
Roberts has purloined certain papers
and then lied about the same, when
every man who knows Mr.. R., knows
him to be upright. Then pursuing
the came subject he say he believes
Nebraska ought to have another Mem
Der Of Congress and hopes one may
be admitted, when the Senate Jour-
nal shows that he and the Democrats
Of that body, opposed joint memoir
ial calling the attention of Congress
to the matter.
Instead of showing satisfactory
reasons for change of power in the
county, he directed large portion of
his asinine oration to the abuse of Mr..
Ferree. editor of the Herald, and We
reporter, simply because they had
manhood enough to express their con-
victions.
1t may not be amiss to say right
here that Limo" got a full third of
the above described speech, In which
Mr.. Howe did not nor can he, yet,
show one falsehood ever emanating
from his pen, against himself or any
citizen of Nemaha county. The
length of the senseless haraDgue pre-
vents full report. LIMO.
