This Union is just as hateful to us
to-day, just as abhorrent and just as
unnatural, as 1t was in 1861, but we
have come back to stay, and, what il
more, we have come back to rule.
Why?
Because the Southern people and
their spmpathizers ia the, e,North con-
stitute 100000 majority of the pOpu.
lation OF the United States.
This majority will be swelled to l,
200. 900 when we have disfranchised
the negroes. - Soather7a Democratic
Paper.
But If that majority should prove
chimerical, and that immense swell
ling a delusion and a lie, and the ne
groes should not be disfran chised, and
the rule of the bulldozer, bushwhack-
er and kuklux be cut suddenly short,
and they should change their notion
about coming back to stay, they will
attempt again, under their state
rights doctrine, to dissolve the Union.
Southern newspapers, and Democrat
ic Congressman, while occasionally
one has, for policy, said they had
"come back to stay" are endeavOr-
ing to again prepare the way to seces-
sion by their declarations of State
rights, and the bold definition that
States rights is the right of State to
secede at will or when they con-
clude that they did not "come back
to stay"

The Republican State convention OF
Ohio, at Cincinnati, on the 2Sth,
nominated Hon. Charles Foster for
Governor on the first ballot, the prize
however, being closely contested by
Judge Taft. The vote stood. Foster,
2S0; Taft, 271. Mr.. Foster is an able
and very popular man, and a stand
ard bearer more certain to lead to vic
tory could not have been selected by
the Buckeyes. The balance of the
ticket nominated was Andrew Hick-
enlooper of Cincinnati for Lieut.. Gov
ernor; w. w. Johnson, of Lawrence,
for Supreme Judge; Geo. K. Nash,
Attorney General; Jno. F. Oglekee,
State Auditor. The platform adopted
Is "staIwart," and defines issues
clearly. The following planks declar-
ing the supremacy of the national
government above state rights and
dissolution doctrines, is sound, and
will be indorsed by every man who
desires the stability and prosperity of
the Union:
Second. Resolved, That we earnest
ly appeal TO the people in the exercise
of their, power through the ballot box
TO arrest the mad career of the party
now controlling both branches of con-
gress under the domination of a ma
iority of men lately in arms against
the government. and now plotting to
regain through the power of legisla-
tion the cause which they lost in the
field, namely, the establishment Of
state sovereignty by the overthrow of
notional supremacy.
Third. ReSOIUcd, The democratic
party, having committed itself to an
attempt to break up the government
by refusing to appropriate to their
legitimate objects public moneys al
ready collected from the people un-
less the executive shall give his offic-
ial signature to measure which he
conscientiously disapproves, meas
ures plainly intendedte allow the free
course of fraud, violence and corrupt
ion in national elections and to inn
pair the constitutional supremacy of
the nation, deserves the signal con-
demnation of every honest and law
abiding citizens.

An Appeal to Senator Saunders.

Senator Saunders has not denied
signing a certain pledge to support
the Union Pacific railway company"
nor will he.-NebraSka City Press.
The Press is little "off." Senator
Saunders signed no pledge Ito support
the Union Pacific railway company"
The pledge which he signed, to secure
his election, was pledge to oppose
the Crounse Pro-rata m easure, on the
strength of which the forty-five men
composing the Crounse Briggs-Saun-
ders pool" supported Mr.. Saunders
That is all there is of it. The Re-
publican is now in a position to prOUe,
any day or any hour that Senator
Saunders shall authorize it to do so,
the fact Of such pledge. We are also
prepared to vindieate the action of
Mr.. Saunders in that matter. and his
uniform fidelity to that pledge. from
the standpoint of the republican plat
form of '76 and from the standpoint
also Of the public Omaha Re
publican.
From the positiveness of this prop
osition to "provc," we imagine the
Republican is prepared to print fac
sinsile of Senator Saunders chirogra-
ply and signature from an electro
plate made from photograph of an
original contract takep before the said
original was given back to Saunders
for the destruction which It speedily
met. We don't think. however, the
Republican states the precise and en-
tire purport of the contract. But "let
her come when you get good ready.
We are tired of this miserable kind of
business-yea, verify, we are dis
gusted.

Senator Mcdonald, of Ind, recent
ly offered a resolution for the investi-
CATION of certain election frauds,
whereupon Blaine offered the follow
ing amendment to the resolution:
Resolved, That inasmuch as the
Third, Sixth and Eighth cOngression-
al districts of Georgia, the Sixth. and
Eighth districts of North Carolina
and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth districts of Mississippi, cast at
the last election an aggregate vote OF
only SO, ,571, almost entirely for candi-
dates of the democratic party and
inasmuch as at the preceding elec-
ton in 1876 the candidates Of the Re-
publican party in these districts re-
eeived an aggregate vote of SO. 739, the
said committee Is instructed to in
quire whether within these districts
or any one of them, there was fraud
or undue Influence practiced against
citizens at the late election, or wheth-
er there was a denial Of the right to
vote to any citizens of the United
States, who are citizens of the states
respectively named herein and that
in making these inquiries the COM
mittee shall have the right to send for
persons and papers.
Blaine is always showing something
at them that they don't like. To do
1t or not to do It goes to make up their
offensive record, and their only al
tentative is to take the course that
will probably hurt them the least.

The Louisville Courier Journal is
startled. From the report of the Su-
perintendent of Schools it infers that
0ne-half she children of pupil age in
Kentucky are without instruction OF
any kind. The total collections for
school purposes give only S135 to each
of the six thousand districts in the
State. and in many districts no
school at all is open. There are 200.-
600 white and % 900 colored children
not in the schools. The Journal de-
cIares that it has become absolutely
imperative for the people OF Ken
lucky to lake decided efforts to arrest
the growth and spread of illiteracy.
In suggesting a remedy the Journal
points to Massachusetts and Connect
icut, and advises the adoption Ofnany
features of the New England system.

that Kansas will have no difficulty in
meeting the demands made upon ii

crease in numbers. He says the
white people Of the South are gener-

them away, but afford aid when they
do come, and assist them in settling.
He says that, as a rule, they are sober,
industrious, able to see difficulties in
their way, aud willing to work to
