A Rising Man
The Philadelphia American.

lht hlihuclphla AWcTicTh'
Senator Harrison is coming to the
front very rapidly, as a man who can
be trusted to lead the republican
party. 1t is only recently, that Mr.
Harrison has been giving attention to
the study aud practice of law. His
moral character and mental capacity
are both above question, and he never
has condescended to any of the tricks
by which politicians make regulations
and secure nominations. He owes his
place in the senate to the public re-
cognition of his merits, and not to
the politicians. His position on ell
the leading questions is satisfactory.
He wants reduction of taxation and
tariff revision, without giving up the
protective policy. He favors the re-
form of the civil service, by some
method Of appointment which shall
take the public patronage out of the
hands of congressman, aud he hopes
to see a beginning of legislation to this
effect at the next session of congress.
We look with hopefulness upon Mr..
Harrison's prospects in the political
world. He bears an honored name,
which he may carry a second time into
the high places of the land.

a Reminiscenoe of the Free Pass
Convention That Noui-

Correspondence Of THE BEE.
Fremont, Sept. Is, lSS2.-Nat
Smails sent a long telegram to The
Omaha Herald the night after the
Fremont convention. Among other
things he said that the Valentine men
were made up of men who each and
overy one of them held a U. p. pass.
But the U. p. DIR. Miller struck that
part of it out, and purposely butchered
the remainder of the dispatch st thai
it might not hurt "Our Val"
Every Valentine delegate to the
Fremont convention who lived alona
the line of the Union Pacific railroad
came to that convention with a pass il
his pocket. Even the Merrick county
delegation, who were elected by anti.
monopolists, allowed the Union Pacific
capper from that county to meet the
conductor before he reached the seats
occupied by them, and get a sufficient
number of checks and with his owr
hands place them in their hats. Nc
wonder they we're Valentine men.
"Our VAL" how nicely that sounds.
1t reminds one of the "Boy Cover.

might manage to shake off their baby
names. Such names are not only
spooney but decidedly soft. Is there
any possibility of a show of dignity in

A solid Man.

Holt County Banner.
M. X. Turn er, the nominee of the
republican party of this district, is a
man who impresses a stranger with
the thought that he is candid, open
hearted, sincere and honest in all that
he does and says. There is nothing
rowdyish about him. His whole ap.
pearance indicates solidity, careful
thought, integrity. He is none of
your vain, fashy, gaudy so and be-
hold this is me" sort of men. He is
the very opposite of Valentine in his
personal appearance. We do not
know Mr.. Turner personally, but from
all we can learn his record is good and
in his own county where be is best
known, he ia honored and highly re-
spected by all. He is an avowed anti
m~onopolist, and is unquestionaly 20
from principle. We believe him to be
an abler man, and more reliable every
way than Valentine, who. az rumor
goes Is still struggling for congress

CASS COUNTY POLITICS.

Correspondence OF the Bee.
WEEPING WATER, Neb., September
14.-The farmers of Cass county are
Thoroughly awake to their interests and
recognize in THE BEE a true and able
exponent Of their rights.
In our county convention recently
held here the candidates for legisla-
tive honors were all compelled to state
their position on the railroad question;
fully realizing upon what their success
depended, the most of them made
speeches that would have done credit
to an anti monopoly convention.
Mr.. Reed, the nominee for the SEN
ate) whose relations with the railroads
has always been decidedly friendly,
said if elected he should endeavor to
represent the people tina: the railroads
had certain rights which should be
protected, but that they we're sub
servient to the rights of the people.
The ticket is not supposed to be
a very strong one, as some of the
nominees are personally rather un.
popular.
1t is generally conceded that if the
dem should put up a good ticket
we would have an exciting campaign,
but as they are 30 seldom guilty OF
doing anything sensible, nc great ap-
prehension is felt by the republicans
for the safety of their ticket.
H. T. Clark, of Bellevue, we find,
has many friends in this county who
would be glad to see him get the CUB.
ernatorial nomination. He certainly
is a man Of marked ability and integ.
rity, whose long residence in Nebraska
and extensive moneyed interests more
clearly identity him with the state
than any other candidate. One thing
is certain, if Mr.. Clark had given the
time and attention to a canvass thai
some others have, with his strong per
sonal following all over the state, his
nomination would have been an as
sured fact.

Forgery.



The Valentine crowd found them
selves In a dilema at Fremont, Thurs
day, and resorted to forgery to help
themselves out. Mr.. Crounse was
chairman of the congressional central
committee, and the proper person to
call the convention to order. He is
sued his call to the delegates to hand
in their credential to the chairman
and secretary of the central committee,
and Val. at once sought an interview
with Creunse to have him forego his
right to call the convention to order,
end agree that some other man, to be
named by Walls friends, should per.
form his duty, Mr., Crounse de-
clined to do this, aud asserted his
right to perform the duty and to re-
ceive the credentials. Val. and his
friend Dorsey got together and were
equal to the emergency. Three men,
bers of the state central committee
We're in town and a call was issued and
printed, calling the convention to as.
semble IN the opera house, which was

low this call appeared a certificate pur-
porting to have been signed by five
members of the republican state cen.
trail committee and by q. w. f.. Dor
seY, as proxy for Colson. This Ger.
ti6cste certified that 1t was the inten-
ton of the state central committee,
that Colson, of Fremont, should cali
the convention to order. Among the
five names attached thereto was o. b.
Willard of Loup City, and Wyman of
North Platte.
Willard was at home, 200 miles dis
tant, and a days drive from a railroad
or telegraph station, and Wyman was
$50 miles from Fremont. Whether
any of the other gentlemen whose
names appeared to the certificates
were present Or not, we do moi know,

TO meet in convention at Fremont,
split before the hour of meeting and
held two conventions; one assembly
choosing Hon. Nj. X. Turner, of Platte,
aud the other renominating Hon. r.

member of congress. The split is un-
fortunate, to say the least, but NAV in

fore. Every n seems satisfied. The
managers are cheerful because after
paying last years deficit the board
will have a surplus in the treasury.
Exhibitors are generally contented
with the arrangements for displaying
and protecting their entries, and the
public at large are satisfied that
the show has been the best
investment of half a dollar
which they have ever made.
There are several features in connec.
ton with the fair which are worthy of
note. The first is the convenience of
the grounds, their adaptabilitY to the
purposes intended and the fine condi.
ton in which they were maintained
during the exhibition. No other city
in Nebraska could have done as we'll,
and President Mcintyre OF the board
of managers, made the very best of
the opportunities afforded. The dis.
play of agricultural machinery was par
ticularly noticeable. 1t was the lar
gest and most comprehensive of
any yet exhibited in the west, and at
tracted the attention from the great
crowd present which it 30 we'll de-
served. Omaha may be congratulated
the success of the fair. 1t was
largely secured by the generous con-
tributions of our merchants. The
outcome has proved that no other city
can offer the inducements given by
our own for holding this annual exhi-
and that outside of Omaha its
pecuniary success Will always at least
be exceedingly doubtful.

The Coming Man.

Cass County Eagle,
Judge Weaver received the nomina-
ton as the republican candidate for
congress for the First congressional
district. There were only ten candi-
dates for nomination. The worst dis.
appointed af them all, probably, was
Church Howe. In the third congress
sional district two republican conven-
tions were held, each claiming to be
the regular convention. Valentine
wss nominated by one, and NJ. X.
Turner, of Columbus, by the other.
Turner will undoubtedly be the lucky

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

Every fresh dispatch from the scat
Of. war in Egypt makes clearer tina Sir
Garnet's overwhelming victory at Tel
ei.Kebir, on Wednesday morning,
marks the end of the struggle in
Egypt. Arab is a prisoner, his army
is scattered to the four winds and
Cairo is in the hands of the British.
The khedive is daily receiving the sub.
mission of the rebellious chiefs. The
delta of the Nile is now in possession
of the army of invasion. The occupa.
ton of Zagazig and Cairo places the
entire railway system of the country
in the hands of the English. How i'm
portant this system is may be learned
from the statement that there are
about twenty lines and branches, all
radiating from Cairo. The main line
to Alexandria is $50 miles in length.
That which branches from this to Da-
meta is 127 miles long. The Alex
andrio road was opened in 1856, and
was the first railway in operation in
the east. Before the opening of the
canal it connected with Suez, whence
steamship lines ran to India. Now
those who go by rail have to take Gag
azig and Ismailia on the way. This
route was opened in 1869, and was in.
tended to allow passengers to India a
glimpse of Egypt while their steam
ships were passing through the canal.
Other roads cross the delta and SON
meet with Aboukir and Rosetta, while
to the south of Cairo there is a line
$50 miles In length extending to As
siont on the Nile, while still another
taps the rich district of Fayoum,
which borders on a lake to the south.
west of Cairo.
The military convention has been
signed, and Turkey may now send
her troops to Egypt if she wishes to-
otherwise they may remain at home.
1t is plain that England would rather
prefer the later course. The extraor.
binary delays in the signing of the
military convention now appear to
have been instigated and fostered by
Lord Dutfsrin, with no other inten-
ton than that of delaying any inter.
y~ention by the porte, until Sir Gar
nett Wolseley had settled matters
with Arab on behalf of the English.
England has taken all the responsible
ity in inaugurating the campaign, and
she proposes to reap all the glory.
The embarrassment of being forced
to consult Turkey in the final settle
ment of the trouble, which, after all,
win be the most difficult, can be easily
forseen. The willy Turk has been
interested automatically by Lord
Dufferin, and the English home Of
fee is laughing in its sleeves.
