MALIGNING MAYOR MURPHY.

Everything may be fair In war, but
deception, dishonesty and SANDER areas
dishonorable In a political campaign as
they would be at any other time. The
attempt of the Omaha Republican to
place Mr.. Murphy before this commun.
ity as a candidate pledged to support
lawlessness and riots, to tolerate violence
and destruction of property is contempt.
lble and cowaIdly. MI. Murphy has
been acting mayor of Omaha for nearly a
year, and during that time we have had
better enforcement of law and order than
we have ever had. W. make the broad
assertion and defy contradiction that there
Is less violence, turbulence and law break
Ing In Omaha at the present time than in
any other western city. Every effort
has been made under Mr.. Murphy's ad-
ministratlon to suppress the low dens and
dives and to enforce decency. The
crooks, Migrants and vagabcnds have
been driven out of the city. Unlicensed
saloons have been closed, and complaints
have been filed against places like the
Buckingham, formerly the st. Elmo,
which remained as a legacy of the Boyd
regime. The failure to suppress the lat
ter place and similar resorts Is simply due
to the dilatory action of the police Judge
who Is thus trying to assist thu
democratic candidate. In his efforts t.
enforce law and order Mr.. Murphy cal
challenge comparison with Mr.. Boyd a
any time, and the moro the record i
compared the worse it will be for Mr.
Boyd. Mr.. Murphy's appoint
ments on the police force and on tn,
board of public works afford ample proc
that he has no disposition to play int
the hands of outlaws, crooks, jobber
and rings.
In any conflict which might arise be
tween labor and capital Mr.
Murphy would be much NOR,
likely to repress violence and protec
property than Mr.. Boyd. Mr.. Murphy
is a lsvel-headed man who respects tn,
rights of capital although In sympathy
with the laboring men who are the crea
tors of wealth. BE would not lose hill
head over a labor disturbance as Mr..
Boyd has done and call for troops at the
beck of q greedy corporation which
wanted to employ the army to help it tc
keep down wages. The less the friends
of Mr.. Boyd refer to ''ths RIOTS" the
better they will be of. There were nc
riots; there was no disposition to destroy
property; and there was no astempt on
the part of the mayor to maintain order,
II was not Mr.. Boyd's bravery and
promptness in executing law that pre-
vented the labor troubles Of 1882 from
becoming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS riots, but
the peaceable disposition, good sense and
forbearance of the OmAhA workingmen,
who even when one of their number was
murdered aud the murderer was shielded
by connlvAncs Of the authorities did not

Two somewhat aged and heightened
dudes of the Union Club, of New York,
got into a quarrel the other day over a
game of cards, which resulted in calling
each other 'fliar," "scoundrel," etc., fol-
lowed by a harmless passage of blows.
The affair was telegraphed all over the
country as piece of important news,
and q duel was predicted, as the parties
were said to be of so great social promi-
nence that the matter could not be set
tied Ia any other way. Why such a
trivial occurrence should be telegraphed
all over the United States Is something we
can't comprehend. 1t was Of no more
Importance than a fisticuff between any
two other genteel club gamblers, about
whom the people outside of their own
circle absolutely care nothing.

NO

Mr.. BoYD is a candidate of the people,
and not Of the democrats, the republi.
cans, the Worklngmen or the capitalists.
He was nominated at q mass meeting In
which all these factions were invited TO
participate. -Republican.
The stsunch republicans of Omaha will
not be diverted from their duty by such
treacherous deception and imposture.
Mr.. Boyd was as much the democratic
candidate for mayor before that bogus
mass meeting Of citizens as he was when
he condescended to accept the unanimous
nomination of the democratic conven-
ton. The attempt to foist James E.
Boyd upon republicans as a peoples
non.psItlran candidate caps the
climax of impudence. Mr.. Boyd
has been a lifelong active
democrat. He glorles In all there Is and
has been of democracy. He was a dele
gate to the last democratic national CON
vention, ard as the chairman of the Ne.
braska delegation and member Of the
national committee be ranks and Is rec
ognized as a leader of leaders of Nebraska
democracy. His sole object and am
billion is to add the power, patronage and
prestige of the mayors Office to the
power and patronage he already controls
with q view of establishing a democratic
bossism that ehall have a controlling in
auence In his party for the next four
years. The pretended citizens move
ment was a preconcerted scheme to draw
the republicans into the Miller
Boyd drag-net. The mass meeting
that nominated Boyd did moi
nominate him. He had himself nominated
by petition, and the meeting was simply
a farce as well as q cham. No other can
didate was proposed or ballcted for, and
the meeting was over before the hou1
arrived for which it was called. II Il
not likely that intelligent and oonsclen'
tIous republicans will allow themselves
to be hoodwinked and led astray by th'
treacherous and u~nprincipled machina
lions of the Omaha Republican. All IT.
efforts to divert attention from it,
disreputable cours in DESERVING the re
publican standard before a gun was fired
and before any nomination was made by
its W party, will prove unavalllng. The
workingmen have cause for opposing Mr.
Boyd, but republicans have nc
cause whatever for deserving Mr.
Murphy. His nomination was unaough
and unbought. He was ready ane
anxious to give way to any other oandi
date whom the republican party nigh
see fit to nominate. But the desertio,
of the Republican and the attempt o
certain extra select republican citizens t.
force Mr.. Boyd upon the people virtual!
made Mr.. Murphy's nomination a necea
sity. No other candidate could hav'
rallied around him the elements of labo,
to Offset the boilers and mugwumps whc
follow the lead of the Omaha Repu5li
can. This Is why Mr.. Murphy wa
nominated by reclamation, and this i
why republicans who do not want to dis
band and surrender to the Democrat,
bosses will support Mr.. Murphy.

Card Playing at the White House.

Baltimore American.
There has not been a pack of cards OF
a game played In the White House since
two months before General Grant left it.
During Gen. Grants term euchrs and
whist we're often played In the library.
In those days 1t was often long after mild
night before the last visitor went away
from the mansion with one of the Gen,
erals good cigars In his mouth. sad
miral Porter, Gen. Van Vliet, the pres.
ident and Col. Dent were the most reg
uIar players, but Col. Horace Porter and
Gen. Schenck often took a hand. Gen.
Grant was fond OF euchre. and was known
as q good partner. He would alt as silent
as you can imagine during a game and
hardly lift his eyes from the cards except
to call for or light a fresh cigar. There
were no poor players az the table, how
ever, ana the interest In the game was so
intense that those who participated
seemed oblivlous to everything elss but
the play. The president and Gen. Van
Vliet were usually partners In the euchre
contests against Admiral Porter and Col.
Dent; but frequently 1t happened that
one OF the latter pair would be absent,
in which case Col. Porter would cit ia to
fill up. Gen. Van Vliet was enthusiast
ically devoted to the game, and never
missed a night when he could possibly
help it,

it. The children we're not disappointed.
Each child in the Sunday School had Il
nice present, and can,'y and fruit were pro-
