The Old Republicans.

~. ]. Times. Those who ina
CINE that the revolt of the republi-
cans against the nomination of Mr..
Blaine is confined chiefly to young
hot-headed men carried away by
restless Impotence, and with no
strong associations to bind them to
the party, make a serious mistake.
One has only to read the letters pub
liShed in the Times to see that the
deepest indignation over theunwor-
thy leadership of Mr.. Blaine, and
the most resolute determination to
resist 1t, exist among men who have
long been connected with the party.
In these letters there are found such
expressions as these, coupled with
the declaration that the writer's will
not support Mr.. Blaine: II never
voted anything but the republican
ticket" 81 have voted for every re-
publican candidate for President"
Il left the democratic party with
Frank Pierce;" Il was in the first
republican convention in Illinois in
1854, with Abraham Lincoln and
Lyman Trumbull;" 81 have been
faithful from Fremont and DAYTON
until now" Il have been a repubG-
can from the first formation of the
party;" Il was born a republican,
and never voted any other ticket"
81 have helped elect every republi-
can candidate since 1860" and one
gentleman enters his protest against
Blaine who, a STAKEHOLDER of Mary
land, was made a republican by wit
Messing border ruffianism in Kansas,
returned home to vote for Fremont.
removed to New York, freed his
slaves, and has voted the republican
ticket ever since. And these are but
indications of the feeling among old
republicans in every State, who are
incensed that the party they have
loved and served SO long should have
for its chief a man whose personal
fame is damaged, and who repre-
sents low standard of political ac
ton.

Mr.. BoEHNER, the literary pork pack
ing genius Of the Arapahoe Pioneer,
styles those newspaper men, who, in a
spirit of hnmor, run him little on his
Singing Pilgrim" grafton, eulogistic on
the death of Wendell Phillips, as "small
fry" Very good But when Fred. as
sumes the role of the sharp witted
Prince Pickle, with the editors of the
Valley as the awe-stricken subjects, the
superlative wit and transcendent sar-
casm of the thing is quite overpowering
"Small fry" is good. Our brother needs
ia little seasoning. And now it doth
appear that the Pioneer man has been
at his old trick and plagiarized the ar
ticle from the Kenesaw Times.

contracts which will require the whole
Of the coming summer to complete.
One tailor shop, one shoe maker, one
grocery and restaurant, one jewelry
store, one furniture store, two brick
layers, four painters, one billiard parlor
and one saloon.
The u. S. Land Office is situated at
this place, and brings crowds Of land
seekers to our town. A third general
store is in course of erection which will
surpass anything of. the kind between
Hastings and Denver. when completed.
1t contains two large store rooms on the
first floor, and main part of the second
story will form the best proportioned,
and arranged hall for theatrical purposes
in the Republican Valley, all complete
with commodious stage, dressing rooms
and ticket Office. The remainder will
be made in residence rooms for Mr..
Menard, the builder.
The town of McCook stands to-day
the best town in the Republican Valley
although but yearling. No town in
Southwestern Nebraska, west of Hast
ings, has as many fine and substantial
dwellings as McCook ; none contain a
more energetic class of business men or
finer stocks Of merchandise none a
better class of society and we think
we are not oversteping the bounds Of
fact when we state that the Magic City
has no peer in the Valley.
McCook has entered upon season of
prosperity, the demand for houses is
much greater than the supply. 1t is the
prevailing belief that more building will
be done this summer than last. And
the buildings will be il keeping 18th
those already built, and an honor to
the town.
The country surrounding NcCook is
as good as any in the county, and has
been taken up rapidly during the fall
and winter, and parties have refused 81
per acre for land within two miles of
town. A number of houses have been
built on claims in this vicinity which
will be occupied in the Spring, and the
matter of cultivation will be tested more
extensively than ever before.
