Right Hon. Vincent Scully. Of Ireland, is
in Lincoln to-day and the guest of Hon. Pat
rick Egan. He arrived at II rs a. m. over
the Burlington. and was met at the depot by
Mr.. Egan, who accompanied him to the Capl.
tai hotel, where they dined together. Mr..
Scully is prominently identified in the Par
nell movement for the freedom of his people,
and as a member of the Irish National league
has made his worth felt. He is a nephew of
''Scully of Ballycoohy," who escaped death
at the hands of his tenants by wearing a coat
Of chained mail, and who still has heavy
landed interests In the Emerald Isle and hg-
urcs in some of the most important historical
events of that country. The uncle also owns
10000 acres of land in Illinois and a like mum
her of acres in this state. Mr.. Scully, in a
moments conversation with The BEE man,
expressed himself highly pleased with what
he has seen during his trip through the
United States. and especially Nebraska. He
esteems both Omaha and Lincoln live cities
and graciously acknowledges the courtcsies
shown him since his arrival here.
POLITICS IN LANCASTER COUNTY.
Next week will be a lively one in this
county. There will be public speaking in
different parts Of the county every night
during the week, and the draft will all be
made on local talent. But the boys feel
ready for the emergency and will respond to
the call most cheerfully. The situation is
somewhat peculiar in the different localities.
Here the liquor question cuts a figure, and
there the issue is confined to the railroad In
politics and general questions of anti-mon-
opoly tendency. The feeling, however, is
general that the issues when understood Will
give way to better feeling, ana that instead
of scratched tickets when the poll is counted
in November the vote will be found to be
comparatively straight. For some time the
impression has prevailed that General Nc
Bride would be scratched more or less in the
country precincts. Now, however, the turn
is apparent, and the boys will do their duty
by him at the polls. He is one of the most
genial and able men on the legislative ticket,
and when understood there can be no ques-
ton but what the republicans will give him
honest allegiance. He is recognized as able,
fearless and worthy. General Mcbride is
now solid with his party and this is right.
FREMoN A JOLLY PLACE.
The democratic clubs of this city that went
to Fremont yesterday afternoon to attend
the party Publication there came home to-
day, and they report a ''rip-roaring old
time" The boys say they had plenty to eat
and drink, and judging from their looks,
the drink part of their feast is not over
drawn, 1t can be taken for granted that they
had a great time. The crowd attending is
said to be larger than the boosted turnout
here, but, if eciipsed, the democrats of Ere
mont must have turned themselves loose.

but parlors, and if that's the scale on which
they do things in that city, it must be a jolly
place to visit.
THE TRUTH OR A cANARD.
The m has been current for a day or
two that a grand union depot will be built
here in the near future. If a canard, the
fact will remain just the same that one is
badly needed at the capital city. TIT rumor
may not be well founded, but it is circulated
to a considerable extent, and it is pretty gen
nrnIl - hnlintyaH that tho rnnHc hnua nnital in
the enterprise and will give us a depot COM
mensurate with our needs. The citizens of
Lincoln will hail the day if it proves to be
true.
