We copy the above from the State
Journal.
- The Republican State Central
Committee met at Lincoln on the 2Sth
ult. Every district in the State was
represented. Lincoln was chosen as
the place and September 1st the time
for holding the State Convention. The
committee leaves the matter of sub
mitting the Senatorial question to a
popular vote, for the action of the con-
vention. The executive committee
were instructed to procure suitable
rooms in Lincoln for Republican head
quarters.
- State Journal 29th: A construc-
ton train, loaded with men, tools, pile
driver, ETC., left the city yesterday morn
ing for work on the road, between Red
Cloud and Beatrice.
- If story in the Fremont Herald
is true, old Bender and his wife, the
Kansas murderers, were recently
picked up, travelling afOot, near Schuy-
ler, Neb. This story has them in jail,
and confession, and a conversation
between the old man and woman, OBJ
tanned by evesdrOpping, which leaves
no doubt they are the real Benders.
- The following explains itself, and
we congratulate Omaha:
"Gen. Charles F. Henderson, Omahai
my recommendations in reference
to headquarters of the department of
the Platte and Fort Omaha. have been
approved by the secretary of war, and
headquarters will be returned to the
city of Omaha and a permanent post
will be constructed at Fort Omaha.
This change will save a great deal of
money and will, L think, be satisfactory
to all concerned. | would now be glad
if you would carry out the arrange
ment spoken of by you when at Fort
Omaha"

Lit. Gen"
- The Lincoln Globe and few 9TH
er papers of the State favor carrying
Out the silly provision il the cOnsti-
tuition regarding the submission of the
Senatorial question to popular vote.
Dignified constitution makers and leg
is!atOrs never engaged in more absurd
business than did Nebraska's when
they considered that impracticable
clause in our fundamental laws, and
the unenfOrcible statutory rprovisiOns
concerning it. Yet while it was a
ridiculous piece of business, unworthy
of serious consideration, it may lead to
a complication that will lose the Re
publicals Senator.
- The. Lincoln Globe, "with pleas
ure,' antiOunces the:" Hon. VIM. Daily
as a candidate for State Senator "from
the grand old county of Nemaha," etc
1t is possible from what we have beard
recently, that the Globe knows what il
is talking about, but should the Re.
publicans of the grand old county OF
Nemaha" choose to run their own ma
chine and not nominate the Hon. VIM.
we hope the Globe fellows, t.whO seem
to have a Nemaha county political
bureau, will be able to weather the
campaign through. The Republicans
of this county are of the stalwart
breed who will 60 right ahead and at
tend to their knitting in spite of out.
side noses thrust into their business OF
the terrible (?) pressure of unsavory
site ups"
- Sutton Globe: r. 4. Haw1ey re.
ceived letter from Gen. Garfield this
week in reply to congratulations, etc.
sent by him sometime ago. Mr.. Haw-
ley was the only original Garfield man
in Sutton before the nominations were
made, so that he naturally feels proud
of the success of his chief, and will
treasure this letter. with the genuine
signature of the next President, as a
valuable memento of the great cam.
paign of 1880.
