ira HERALD to send east. Mr.. MaXsOu

Harry Root, of the Atehison. Cham
pion has the credit of making full and
fair report OF the proceedings of the
Downs convention, in his letter TO that
paper. Harry has q faculty OF telling
things absut as they are, and as he sees
them, and not drGWing.UD his wish or
fancy for facts. Had the correspondent
who accompanied Pom0roy's train over
the c. b been made of similar material.
it would have been better for all con-
.cerned.
An invitation that read ''Mr. Geo. and
Miss Matte Dodge will entertain their
fliends st their home, June 4, 1884. at
= 80 p. M" took ''yOurs truly to Kir-
win yesterday evening, where we found
a gOOdly mum Der Of Kirwin' S young peO-
pile assembled at the residence of David
Dodge Esq, among whom we noticed
the familiar cUuntenance of Phillips
tburg's Mayor, C. A. Lewis. If the
pleasure depicted on the counteuaAces
of those present was any Indication of
the enjoyment had they were all very
highly entertained, as was certainly the
writers To say that the refreshments
served: consisting of ice cream, lemon
ade, strawberries and cream and other
.deIicaciesi were excellent, is putting it
lightly .S.,s -. -
Never. in the history Of Nebraska was
the crop prospects so good as now. Rye
Is two feet or more high in many places.
Wheat has fine healthy color and Is we'll
.stooled ont. Corn Is coming Through. in
good shape Several pieces of rye that
we have seen this week ara well headed
out. Grass Is making fne growth and
the farmer is elated ct his prospects.
The above we clip from the Hastings
Gazette.J Journal, of May %. II Nebras-
ka farmers feel elated at such prospects,
what would describe the feeling of our
Kansas farmers, with rye from six to
seven feet high on same date, and wheat
heading out. Corn is six to eight inches
high and the grass crop was never bet
ter. If Kansas don't boom this year, It
will be her own fault.
We give in this weeks issue the pro-
'ceedings of theS Downs. conventions.
Also the proceedings of the caucus of
Anti-Hanback< Republicans, after the
adjournment of tlHe ueguEaF cOnven-
ton. We believe. 1t due the people OF
Phillips County and every man in the
dist riot, that the C0nyentiOn should be
represented as it really occurred, even
IF it was distasteful to those who were
managing the show. THE suppression
of part of the Proceeding OfA cOnven-
ton to make it appear that 2 IlOLnina-
ton was Harmonious, may work. an
we'll for & time, bot will have 70 be ex-
planned sooner ors1dtAr and it would
have heSm wiser tas have stated the
facts than havs4O Nk Est.xf Cons
in the future. i, Chat the protest WAS
made agsri nst the n0nlinatiOa ct HoaS.
