That thieves and friends Of thieves
who clamor for Grant would be will
ing TO see a change OF government,
with Grant installed as dictator, king,
emperor, or poteDtate OF some kind +,
we have no doubt, and that such is
their ulteriOr design there is a general
bolief.-Indidr1dpOLis Sentinel.
The thieves and friends Of thieves
who cIamor against Grant, lie preme-
ditatedly and deliberatelylwhen they
say anybody wants such a govern
ment or that they or anybody else be-
lieves any such thing. Grant is true
American-as true a patriot as ever
breathed the free air of this republic,
and such miscreants, traitors, dema-
gogues, as the editor of the Indianap-
oils ,SentineLknow they utter the most
contemplate and miserable Of lies,
when they pretend to believe that
Grant would be king. potentate, or
emperor, even If he could be. The
thieves fear Of Grants patriotism, is
what burts and torments them, and
knowing nothing true to say against
him to effect the popular ear, they re-
peat, continually. the stale, thread
bare CRY of Caesarism.

Hon. Frank Welch.

The congressional cormCrants are
soaring in great numbers over Frank
Welch's seat in congress. Many of
his former supporters are now bitterly
opposed to him for the succession, very
probably because they could not make
a plant tool of Nebraska's Represen-
tative.
Mr.. Welch Is a republican to bs sure,
and we have not the least admiration
for his party's politics; but, neverthe-
less, we shall do him the justice to say
that he is the only member of congress
from this state who has ever done any
thing beneficeBt for our people. His
sklIlIul management OF the UeW I'm
ber law renders him worthy not only
of every mans regard in the state, but
entities him TO be renominated twenty
times as much as either Taffe or
Crounse. Mr.. Welch, with the assist,
ance Ex-senator Paddock, in thesenase-
secured this everlasting boon for the
western people. Moreover. he voted
for the reconciliation of silver; and
il he would only pronounce himself
an out and out green back proclivity
man. Mr.. Welch would be our repub-
lican choice for seat from Nebraska
In the 46th congress of the United
States Saline Democrat.
Nebraska advertiser., 1878-08-01

Hon. A. S. Paddock is spending q
few days in the city, and is meeting
with a cordial aud genial welcome.
He has the look of excellent health
and it may be expected that his two
or three months stay will make him
a regular "stalhwart," and he may re-
turn to the senate q fitting representa-
tive of 1.-THE bone and sinew" of this
healthy and N uscular common wealth.
We are gratified to learn from the
senator that his estimable wife is now
convalescent from her prOtracted ILL
ness, and not the least gratifying cir
cumstance in this conneetiOn-bOth
to the senator and his friends-is that
it enables him return at so early q
date and for so long stay to his con-
stituents. The senator speaks in the
highest terms Of his fellow represent
ativesin congress from Nebraska,a and
manifests the most kindly regards for
all who are of his own party faith.
Phis we say, of course, from the par
ty stand point. 1t being superfiuous to
add that he, in common with his col
leagues. has aimed to administer his
responsible office I'm the interest of the
commonwealth. and not merely of

No alleged crime has ever been
more clearly proven than the alleged
Democratic terror, intimidation, mur-
der, violence and fraud, by which q
fair and free election was prevented
In many of the-parishes of Louisi-

That eminent Democratic leader,
Jefferson Davis (and he is still lead
er), does not take readily to the new
tangled cateb-phrase of the Democra-

"time honored doctrine of State sover-
eighty"
More persons have been murdered
by the Democracy in cold blood for
opinions sake since the war than
were slain ON both sides in any one
battle during the war. The control
of the State governments gained by
this policy is called Local self-govern-
meDt.
To deceive and mislead the public
mind the Democratic house of Repre-
sentatives, in the preamble to its Pot
ter resolution, gravely assailed the

Secretary Sherman and Minister
Noyes-with no warrant for the as
sault except the charges of a self-ac'

the country is the fact that the electo-
raj count was permitted to proceed by
reason of bargain between some OF

President Hayes. We always believ-

often, and now the testimony Is be-

THE Millers Association Of Mime
apolis are after the farmers again.
this time with new dodge. Not
satisfied with the enormous profits
wrung by them from the agricultural
labor with that little joker, ''the
brass kettle" they have suddenly dis
covered that the use of wire in bind
ing wheat is so very injurious to mill
machinery as to warrant the adopting
of the following resolution:
Resotred, "That whenever practica.
ble difference Of ten cents 10y per
bushel under corresponding grade be
made in purchase of any wheat con
tanning wire"
Which is in plain language,
but another excuse to swindle
the 1arccr. Holding the monopoly of
the market the millers have but to
invent reasons to depress it.
Ten dollars per hundred bushels is
the latest tribute those generous men
demand of labor and that too upon
the nimsiest of pretexts. And the
Minnesota farmers will pay the trib-
ute until they consent to ''pool their
issues,' and if necessary market or
grina their own wheat.
