Congl essiopal District Of
Nebraska.

WHEREAS, A cSll has been made for a
national conference of all anti.monopolists
to meet at Chicago on the 4th of July,
1888, and thst the state Of Nebraska was
foremost in raising her voice against the
relentless grip of corporate power. 1t is
but right and proper the state should act
vigorously in furtherance Of this matter.
Therefore, I, as chairman of the committee
for the First Congressional district, issue
this call for a district convention at the
Academy of Music, in the city of Lincoln,

SENATOR SHERMAN spoke at Find

immediate issues of the Ohio campaign
are, first: Shall we stand by the Scott
spirits and beer? Second: Shall we, in
framing our tariff laws, stand on the
general principle Of so taxing foreign
goods as to protect, foster and Diversity
American industry? The first question
s: Shall This tax on spirits Or beer stand
in substance or law, or shall it he re-
peal"d? AS to the proposed amend
ments the Republican party dnes not at
tempt to prescribe which shall be adopt
ed, or whether either shall he. 1t re

is an honest differences of opinion

ALL is not serene in the Democratic
camp in Hamilton county. On Monday
evening ninety-eight of the mos: prom
inent and leading Democrats of Cincin-
natl met at the Burnet House to express
their dissatisfaction at the means taken
to nominate county and legislative
ticket under the leader ship of John r.
Mclean, of the Enquirer. Speeches
were made by Theo. Cooke, Emil Rothe,
JUICE Mallon, Judge Oliver, DR.. Spence,
Thos. B. Paxton, ex-Mayor Means, II. c.
Ratterman, J. d. Parker, and other in
fiuential Democrats as to the best meas
ure to take to rebuke the outrageous
conduct of the convention that had
foisted the Enquirer's ticket upon them.
The speeches were unanimous in con-
demning the ticket, and that it should
be defeated, and some were in favor of
calling a new convention and thus in
sure the defeat of the fraud. One of
the speakers estimated that 5000 votes
would be lost to the State ticket if
new county ticket was not nominated
The chairman of the meeting appointed
a committee of fifteen to consider the
best means and methods for the calling
of a convention and the expression of
the disgust and indignation entertained
by honest Democrats.

party have resolved in favor of graded
license system. Sucll "A system is pro-
hibited by The Constitution. and we
know that, with the wide difference Of
opinion Oh the subject such change of
the Constitution Is impracticable. The
Republican party have accomplished the
same object in different way, leaving
other forms of prohibition or regulation
to the decision of the people.
In the thirty years since the new Con-
stitution was adopted, we have lost in
this State, from the failure to enforce this
species of taxation, fifty millions of dol
lars. That this traffic should pay at least
two or three millions of dollars annual
ly, Is. 1t is believed, the general Judg-
ment of the people of Ohio. And now
the principal question involved in this
State canvass is whether this law shall
stand. Every Democrat who appears on
the stump should be asked distinctly
Are you in favor of repeating the Scott
law" Every candidate for the Legis
lature who appeals for votes should be
asked: will you vote to repeal the
Scott law?"
This is the best temperance measure
on the statute books of of Ohio, the most
important advance in our legislation
upon the subject. The Republicans,
though slow as party to take ground
upon the temperance question, have
warned by defeat at the last election
taken their position, and all they ask is
that their Democratic fellow citizens
may fairly and manfully meet the issue
whether the tax on the sale of liquors
shall stand or be repealed.
Upon the Constitutional amendments
all that is asked is that every man shall
vote for or against them, according tC
his Judgment, without respect 10 party
bias.
| The action of the State Liquor Deal
fers' Association, at Toledo, OH the 9Et
of August. in organizing themselves IN
TO Democratic political clubs to defea'
the Scott Law and the Constitutions
Amendments has excited painful i'm
pressinns i'll the minds OF rejecting Ter
of both political parties who mean tC
deal with this question free from party
bias
| In Ohio political parties are evenly
divided. If particular interest can or
ganiZe for selfish ends to control elec-
tions, and avail themselves of the aiC
of one of these great parties, that party
ought to be defeated by the aid Of every
man who believes i'll wholesome re-
straint upon the traffic. No man should
hold his party ties So strongly AS to al
| low them to control his vote on Ques
tions like these, when good order, tenn
perance, sobriety and public safety de-
pend upon the exercise by him of an III
dependent franchise.

THE success of the Democratic party
in Ohio this year will be the signal for
the repeal of the Scott law on the as
sembling of the Legislature, and the
farce of submitting an amendment au-
thorizing license of the liquor traffic.
The advertising of this will cost the
people of the state about $4,000. 1t
will meet the fate of previous amend
ments submitted. and then we will have
that glorious state of affairs that exist
ed previous to the passage of the
Scott law-one-half of the time of the
courts occu pied with matters growing
out of the liquor traffic, police made
necessary almost exclusively on that ac-
count, and the public footing the bills,
while the dealers pocket the profits.
All the power of the liquor dealers of
the state, carefully and completely Or
ganiZed, will be used to this end. If the
state is carried against the Republicans,
it will be done largely by the use of
money and votes furnished by that or
ganization, and it will be in a situation
and will have the power to enforce its
demands.
The Democratic managers will un-
dertake to satisfy the public with the
declaration that they are carrying out
the declarations of their platform for a
license system; but they well know, as
does every well-infOrmed man in the
state, that the probabilities are largely
against the adoption of a license ameEd-
ment.
We repeat: The safe course is to vote
the Republican ticket. That party is
pledged to uphold the Scott law, and if
it is successful the law will remain upon
the statute books unmpaired.

cause its editor deemed it impolitic, op-
posed the adoption by the County Repub-
lican Convention, of any resolution what
ever upon the vexed county seat removal
question. The convention took another
view of the matter Among the reasons
advanced by its advocates, one was that
the Democratic candidate would be COM
PEELED to take like position, and there
upon the veXed question would be entire
ly eliminated from the canvass. A few
days after that convention an enterprising
news gatherer undertook to make Mr.
Howard commit himself, but was met
with the reply that the committee of his
party would assemble within a few days.
and until then he would not discuss the
matter. Thd committee met Tuesday, and
it is given out that Mr.. Howard will make
no pledges to any one.

BELMONT COUNTY is deeply interest
ed in maintaining protective tariff
Under such tariff the county has
grown in wealth and population much
more than during any like period of its
existence.
The Democratic party to-day and al
ways has been hostile to tariff. Its
candidate for Governor is a rampant
free-trader. Its managers in this county
and throughout the State are hostile to
protection, and boldly proclaim that If
they get into power they will reduce
tariff duties to revenue standard only.
The coal, iron and glass industries of
the county alone furnish employment to
several Thousand men, who earn good
wages, and in turn are enabled to pay
good prices to the farmers, gardeners.
and tIadesmen with whom they deal.
Never before in the history of the coun-
ty has its producers had 50 good home
market. All this will be paralyzed if So
sailed Democratic ideas prevail.

remark of the Bellaire Tribune that
There Will be no man elected to the
Legislature from Belmont county this
year who is in favor of building a new
court house at st. Clairsville," rejoins
at is to be hoped, in the interest of
harmony, that this issue will not be
eternal, and that they will build a new
court house some place that will cost SO
much and last so long that the question
will die for a hundred years"
The people of this county, too, are
tired of this unnecessary agitation, as
the defeat of Wagener in the Demo
cratic convention and the unanimous
action of the Republican convention
attest.
