A. Il n. Construction Crowd.

We stop the press to say that by
all odds the largest crowd of people
that ever gathered in Columbus was
here yesterday - hundreds from
Seward and Butler counties came
to greet Platte on the prospect of a
new railroad. The procession form
ed south of the city, under the lead
of Marshals G. w. Clother and John
Hammond, and was about mile
and a half in length. Banners and
flags, with music, enlivened the
scene, and it was evident that the
hearts of the people were with the
proposed road.
At the Engine House the pro-
cessiOn halted in front of an i'm
provised platform, and being called
10 order by Capt. Hammond, listen
ed TO neat reception speech by
Judge Higgins of this city, after
which the crowd dispersed till half
past 3 O'Clock, when they reassem-
bled, and listened TO entertaining
speeches by Sibbet, Garfield, Jensen
and Casper of Butler county; Ham
ilton and Cox of Seward, and Bar
mum and Magoon of Platte; besides
l.. w. TOwne, Sup't., and S. b..
Galley, Atty of the a. and N. road.
A shower coming up, the crowd
dispersed, in the heartiest good
humor. well pleased with the i'm
promptu exercises of the occasion.
Lack of space forbids a fuller ac-
count of the prOceedings.-The
sentiment prevails that the bonds
will carry in Platte by sweeping
majority.

From the way "X Y" i'm the
Madison Chronicle talks of Column
bus merchants, hotel-keepers and
wheat buyers, we should say that
he was angry at something. The
u. p. succeeded i'm defeating the
Elkhorn Valley II. r. proposition
i'm Madison county, and now it
looks as though the town of Madi-
son might be left out in the cold,
without a railroad. We suspect
that so far as this feeling against
Columbus is concerned it has been
induced by some malignant spirit
working against the A. & N. prop
osition 10 affect the bond election in
the northern part of this county.
The entire programme of the U. p,
in this Central-Nebraska, railroad
campaign, goes to show that the
main Git not only object aimed at
was TO prevent other roads from
building, TO take from them a por-
ton Of their very lucrative business.
Does Madison really believe that
the u. p. will give them railroad =?

If any one receives or sees or
hears of a U. z. circular being dis
tributed in any precinct next FRI
day or Friday night, make no delay
in carrying the information and the
circular, on the fleetest horse you
can find, to both the printing
offices in Columbus, and whatever
the time OF night, rouse the printing
force so that the editor may write
and the compositors set up and the
pressmsn strike off counter circulars
by the thousand for immediate dis
tribution. These things take time,
and under such circumstances you
can not act too quickly. The prompt
action of one man may win us the
contest.

The vote upon which the law
says a proposition such as is now
before the citizens of Platte county,
shall be declared carried, is a two
thirds vote, not of all the voters of
the county Gas some believe) but of
those voting at the election, for in
stance suppose there are 400 voters
in the county and but 1900 of them
attend the polls and cast their bal
lots. 1t would take 800 of these to
carry the proposition 40l votes, out
of 200, against the bonds, would
defeat the proposition. Challenge
every man of whom there is any
doubt. 1t has been suggested that
every such one be put under oath so
that he can be summarily prosecuted
if it should turn out that he had cast
an illegal vote. The people, in this
contest against strong railroad
corporation, deserve at least fair,
free ballot.
