Special Dispatch to THE BEE.
Fremont, Neb., Observation-Disclosures
concourse of people assembled at the cor.
ner of NJ lin and Sixth street last evening
to ratify the nominations made by the
republicans in convention at Chicago of
Jas. G.. Blaine ard John A Logan, and 1t
was probably the largest gathering of this
kind ever witnessed in Fremont.
The Great Western band was secured
for the occasion, which opened the ball
and were followed by the speakers, who
were introduced by chairman Dorsey.
Judge Bell was the first gentleman in
troduced, making a very humorous speech,
keeping the crowd in q continuous
uproar.
H. G. wallcott was next introduced,
and made an excellent address, which
was very heartily %applauded. MIR. Wal
colt is a very capable man, as everyone
conceded who listened to his short speech
last night, Mr.. Wolcott was followed by
j. w. Love, w. II. Atwood, and Col.
Marshall, each one doing himself and the
subject credit.
DR.. Abbott made the closing speech.
He said the national republican party
had al ways made good its promises. In
1860 it promised that slavery should not
be farther extended and the result was
the freeing of four million of human
beings from bondage. Other promises
had been as well kept, and 1t stood to-
day the grand party of progress.
He said it was the first party to de-
clare itself through its platform of prin-
c;ples, of regulating railway traffic, of
reserving to the actual settlers our pub
lie domain, and of restricting the impor-
tation of foreign pauper labor to compete
with our own ~workingmen. DIR. Abbott's
address was eloquent and pointed and
fully made good his reputation as being
one of the best speakers in the state.
Great enthusiasm was manifested,
which left no doubt in the mind of the
people that James G. Blaine is the
choice of the republicans of Fremont.
A Blaine and Logan club has been or
ganized and is receiving many members.
The local political pot has not as yet
commenced to boil, but if we are any
prophet we would say that the atmos-
phere and surroundings generally were
in excellent condition for some hot work
between this and the 4th of November.
Senator Van Wyck's course during this
present session of congress seems to cause
considerable uneasiness among the cor
poration toad-stools in this vicinity. One
of these chiefly" individuals remarked
the other DAY, so it is said, that he hoped
to live to see the grass grow green over
the political grave of G. Fl. Van Wyck.
This individual, like Samuel j., is becom-
ing very tired waiting for his own politi.
cal resurrection and is sadly waiting for
company. He has our sympathy.
Observation-Disclosures ill%-natured attacks
by brokendown, disappointed and pessi-
mistic corporation cranks, Senator Van
Wyck stands to-day the acknowledged
champion of the peoples right in the
American senate.
1t is pretty generally conceded that
Valentine and his followers are making
a still hunt in this district with a view to
defeating the nomination of Mr.. Dorsey,
and foisting again upon the people this
representative in congress of the U. p.
r. r. Dorsey, however, is alive to this
fact, and Val will find that he has no
walk-a-way. "PooR RICHARD"
