The nominees for regents are Mr. William II. Marplo of Douglas county and Senator Shumwny of Dixon county. Both nro . active , cul- tured competent men. Sonatoi- Shumway and his friends stood by Judge Hooso throughout the struggle this year ns in the Hastings convention two years ago and faced possible dcfout- to tlioir homo candidate by so doing. They would not barter away their choice for the head of the ticket to advance their own interests. Mr. Shumway will add strength to the ticket in northeast Nebraska. Mr. Marplo has a host of young lawyer and other friends in Douglas county who will Uiko olT their coats for him and give him a largo vote in this city.- Dr. . . S. D. Mercer of Omaha wau elected chairman of the state central commit- tee ¬ , which insures to the campaign a vigorous management. No bolter selec- tion ¬ was possible and the compliment was most graciously made unanimous after the announcement of the first bal- lot ¬ , although ho was several votes short of a majority. Taken all in all , though the action of the convention was not exactly what TIIK Bun had desired , the ticket is ono which every republican can heartily endorse , and the convention did itself credit. It loaves fewer wounds than any convention in years. It demonstrated the fact that the republicans of Ne- braska ¬ are both in earnest and in har- mony ¬ and can go into the contest lo win success in November.- TliK . IlKl'UIUJUAA' I'hATFOltSl. The platform of the republican uarty- of Nebraska ' -lioorful and cheering document. 'l'i JLo is not in it a single suggestion of pessimism. In sharp con- trast with the democratic platform , which is a series of denunciations , the republicans offer nothing 'jut congratul- ations. ¬ . The characteristics of the two parties are shown' in their convention enunciations. Ono is a prophet of evil , the other of good. Ono seeks success by creating popular distrust ana apprehen- sion ¬ , the other by building up public confidence and encouraging the people to look on the bright side of all'airs.- 1'ho . republican party ia essentially tlio party of prosperity. It delights in nbun- ilant - crops , in active industries , in fully jinployod and well paid labor , in the material progress of the country condi- tions ¬ that vindicate its principles and policy. It is this spirit that per- vades ¬ the platform of the republicans if Nebraska , and it is in por- "oct - harmony with tlio situa- tion ¬ and with popular fooling. The position regarding silver is sound in ivory respect. The existing law , pro- viding ¬ for the purchase by the govern- nont - of an amount of silver which ab- sorbs ¬ the production of the mines of this : ountry , and under which there ia an- mally - added to the currency nearly ? GO000000. ia operating well , but it is : farthest limit to which the country : an safely go in the use of silver as u- nrt of the currency. The platform itatos'concisely and clearly the dangers.- o . bo apprehended from free and un- Imltcd - silver coinage , and the on tire immolation of the party on this subject norlts unqualified approval. Tlio plat- brm - Is equally explicit and strnightfor- vard - regarding the system of protoo- ion and the policy of reciprocity , show- 'ir - : that the republicans of Nebraska it-oil complete accord with the party hrouglu ; it the country on those quo.s- ions. - . The general provisions of the ntor.stnto corunorco ni-t arc endorsed , nd the party Insists upon the suppros- ion of combinations and schemes to- rtlllelnlly incrcaso the prtco of the iccessaries of life. It is a commendable .uclaraMon of principles which will need 10 apology or defense.- BH . I'OltK CM.UJMIO.V- .A . prominent No v York politician ro- ontly - referred to the selection of Mr- .'assott . at the republican candidate for ovornor as an inspiration. At any rate i is proving to bo a very wlso eholco- .'nssott . 1ms not only harmonized the iivrly , but ho has Infused Into it earnestO- SH - , enthusiasm nnd confidence. Ills lubllo speeches have a freshness and i or about them thai make a most ivornblo impression. IIo ia a man f Intelligence and of Ideas , and ho tales his opinions in language that per- iits - no doubt of hla moaning and hta- incorlty. . The pulllo and private char- ctor - of Mr. Fnssott Is 'Irreproachable , s his political opponents freely admit , IH ability Is unquestioned , and lie has liat aggressiveness as a politician rhleh all men admire and which will specially commend him to the favor f the younger class of voters. The lost serious charge mudo ngninst- im IH. that ho was largely Instrumental i defeating & bill In the legislature which proposed to appropriate $10,000 000 as a guarantee fund lo enable York city to got the Columbian oxpoilt- lon. . The truth Is that this wai scheme to place a largo sum of mono within the roach of Tammany , to b- used In tlio Interest of the domocrnti party , and the republicans i the legislature very proper ! opposed and killed it. Th fact that Mr. Fasselt whs prominent ii this action is altogether to hla credit and while it Is possible that it will los him some voles in Now York city , I ought to make him stronger In otho parts of the stato. The nomination of Mr. Flower by tin democrats has not Improved the chance of that party. IIo Is a weak man to b put in leadership , except that h- Is very wealthy and llborn with his money for political pur- poses. . Tlio selection of this mllllonaln candidate was a striking example of tin inconsistency of the democracy , whicl claims to bo the only party that Is tin friend of labor nnd tim foe of plutoc- racy , and Mr. Flower will not bo ableti command the full strength of his party oven though David Bennett IIlll shoult- go upon the hustings in hi- interest. . There are thousands of demo- cratic workingmen in the state of Nov York , and a great many demo- cratic farmers also who will not vote for Flower , not alone because ho Ii wealthy , but for the reason that IK made a largo part of his money as railroad director by the simple process of stock watering. In the cor.vontioi which nominated him several promi- nent democrats deprecated the choice o- a man solely because of the length o his purse , and the unheeded counsel o those men will have its influence will the masses of the party. The prospect of republican success it Now York is altogether encouraging The party has never boon in bettor light- ing form than it is at the present time and there is every reason to expect thn' harmony will bo maintained and thai earnestness and enthusiasm will Increase as the campaign progresses. Republi- can victory in the Empire state this year would practically Bottle the presi- dential contest of next year in favor ol that party.- TIIK . democratic party urges that this country ought to have reciprocity "wltli the countries of Europe , with England. Franco and Germany but it does not say how with btich an arrangement the government would raise the revenue. ' lost by the abolition or heavy reduction of customs duties on the products oi those nations. In some of the states the democratic platforms favor an in- come - tax as ono of the means of providing revenue , and among democratic leaders. Mr. Mills of Texas champions this policy , but no such in- quisitorial system would bo long toler- ated by the American people , and be- sides - it ia a very uncertain method of obtaining revenue. The trouble with the democratic party is , that whileit has abundant capacity for finding fault it lacks the ability to find wlso and sound remedies for what it complains of. When the party had an opportunity to frame a tariff law suited to its notions it bun- gled ¬ the business so wretchedly that the work is still remembered as a reproach to the intelligence of the men who did it. It is to have another opportunity , and the prediction is entirely safe that it will make just as bad u job of its alTorts to reform the tariff as it did in the Fiftieth and preceding congresses.- TIIK . Now York Commercial Advertiser is making war on the Pinkerton police jystom , and it is to bo hoped it will not Jtop fighting until it has created a pub- lic ¬ sentiment that will compel legisla- tion ¬ in every state hostile to this private ind irresponsible constabulary. Our N"ow York contemporary pointedly says : ' 'The very existence of a private organ- ization ¬ of armed men is an imputa- tion ¬ of inability upon the part of the people to govern themselves and naintnin order through their lawfully ionstitutod police The logical extreme jf tolerating organized force beyond the regulative power of law is the surrender ) f law to forco. If more wealth , oxlst- ng - in a corporation or individual , can jy an appeal to armed force coerce citl- ions beyond lawful limits , it coot-cos law tsolf. The Pinkerton army is n menace .o bolf-govornnont. " For several years run BUK has from time to time do- luuncod - the methods of this organizn- ion of janizaries and urged that laws ihould bo passed in every state prohib- ting the employment of Pinkerton de- ectlvos - as an armed forco. Wo are .horoforo in sympathy with the efforts if out" Now York contemporary and rust it will maintain the war until the ibjcct it seeks is attained' Tin : farmers' alliance of Ohio has ro- itidlatod - tlio pooplo's party. In a clr- nilar - issued by the ofllcors of the alli- nice they declare that that organization- s in no way identified with the now larty , and state that the proper attitude if the alliance politically is to bo pre ¬ wired to criticize or admira the actions f any party. In other words it stands s a distinct organization for other iiirposos than politics , and while trlvlug to inoito an Interest , D publlo mutters among Its members ml educating them in regard to such miters , nevertheless holds Itself free to- upport whichever parly most nearly louts its views. This Is undoubtedly lie wlso and safe position for the ui- ianco - everywhere. It can exert 'far lore influence In this way than by- Hying Itself with any political party.- TIIK . republicans of Nebraska are not ohlnd those of any other state in their dmiralion of Secretary Blaine , ns was vldoncod by the enthusiasm with which is name was greeted In the state con- dition ¬ , but nt the same time they have just appreciation of the distinguished bllity that has marked the admlnlstra- on - of President Harrison , who cor- ilnly - deserves a very largo share of the rodlt for what has been accomplished urlng the last two years.

Thomas Johnson , the commercial traveler , who was arrosiod some time ago In Brooklyn on an order of ar- rest ¬ from Ilerkiinor county and who lias been for weeks in the Raymond street Jr.il , wes released yesterday by Judge Clements on a writ of habeas corpus- .Johnson's . case is a curious one. Seven years ago , while traveling in Hurklmu.r county , ho mot a uretly waiter girl named Hannah O'Brien , and , It is claimed , betrayed hor. Moanwhllo she entered suit against bun and aecurod u Judgement for ? IU0. Johnson know nothing of iho sull. The girl could not Hud him , and In course of time for- got ¬ iho suil leo , and moved out of town. Her lawyers learned years afterwards that Johnson was in Brooklyn , so they caino- dnwn aud throw him into the Raymond slreol Jail. Ho has been there for months- .Of . course ho was surprised at his arrest. That ho owed anybody $-1,000 was news to- him. . Ho could not got out of Jail to earn ibo money , so it looked as if ho must slay Ihora all his life. Besides , ho was willing to marrv- llio girl , but nobody knew whore she was- .Jounscn's . story was printed. The girl saw it and wrote saying she was now u happy wife and mother , anu so did not duro to como to Brooklyn and help Johnson out of his trouble , although she had thu kindliest , feel- ings - toward him. However , after much cor- respondence ¬ , she was induced to- como. . Johnson was before Judge Clements a wcok ago on a writ of habeas corpus. Ho claimed thai no notice of- tbo trial In Herklmcr county had boou .served upon him and Ho know nothing about it until the judgment talton by default was served , and ho also produced eVidunco lo show that af lor Miss O'Briuu began suit against Him she married and had withdrawn from the prosecution of the suit against him. But the most striking allegalion mudo by the counsel for Johnson was that Miss O'Brien had given n satisfaction picco for the judgment she ob- tained ¬ against Johnson , and Ihoro was really no claim upon which Johnson could bo hold. That satisfaction piece , it was claimed , was on llllng in the clerk's ofllco in Horkimcr- county. . It was boldly assorted that Johnson bad been arrested at the instance of some HerKlmer county lawyer , who wa > interested in the case and who had adopted this plan to- onforca his Hen on the judgment and collect his bill of costs. When this phase of the case was suggested to Judge Clements his Interest In the uialtor was incroabcd and ho remarked ho would never allow the machinery of his court to bo run for such a purpose. T'tio transcript of- thu sullsfactlon piece , now on lilo in Hcrki- mor - countywas produced In court yesterday. The record showed that the judgment had boon satisfied and cancelled. Johnson was thereupon discharged. The former Miss O.Brion. who seems to have seriously repented the part she took in causing Johnson's arrest and incarceration , was in court when Johnson was released. They wont away together. It would bo dilll- cult to sav which was the happier of the two. They acted like a ecyiplo ol school children just out on a long vacation.

-of Mr. Fnssott Is 'Irreproachable ,

s his political opponents freely admit ,IH ability Is unquestioned , and lie hasliat aggressiveness as a politicianrhleh all men admire and which willspecially commend him to the favorf the younger class of voters. Thelost serious charge mudo ngninst-im IH. that ho was largely Instrumentali defeating & bill In the legislature

which proposed to appropriate $10,000000 as a guarantee fund lo enableYork city to got the Columbian oxpoilt-lon. . The truth Is that this waischeme to place a largo sum of monowithin the roach of Tammany , to b-

used In tlio Interest of the domocrntiparty , and the republicans ithe legislature very proper !

opposed and killed it. Thfact that Mr. Fasselt whs prominent ii

this action is altogether to hla creditand while it Is possible that it will loshim some voles in Now York city , I

ought to make him stronger In othoparts of the stato.

The nomination of Mr. Flower by tindemocrats has not Improved the chanceof that party. IIo Is a weak man to bput in leadership , except that h-

Is very wealthy and llbornwith his money for political pur-poses. . Tlio selection of this mllllonalncandidate was a striking example of tininconsistency of the democracy , whiclclaims to bo the only party that Is tinfriend of labor nnd tim foe of plutoc-racy , and Mr. Flower will not bo ableticommand the full strength of his partyoven though David Bennett IIlll shoult-go upon the hustings in hi-

interest. . There are thousands of demo-cratic workingmen in the state of NovYork , and a great many demo-cratic farmers also who will not votefor Flower , not alone because ho Ii

wealthy , but for the reason that IK

made a largo part of his money asrailroad director by the simple processof stock watering. In the cor.vontioiwhich nominated him several promi-nent democrats deprecated the choice o-

a man solely because of the length ohis purse , and the unheeded counsel othose men will have its influence willthe masses of the party.

The prospect of republican success itNow York is altogether encouragingThe party has never boon in bettor light-ing form than it is at the present timeand there is every reason to expect thn'harmony will bo maintained and thaiearnestness and enthusiasm will Increaseas the campaign progresses. Republi-can victory in the Empire state thisyear would practically Bottle the presi-dential contest of next year in favor olthat party.-

democratic party urges that thiscountry ought to have reciprocity "wltlithe countries of Europe , with England.Franco and Germany but it does notsay how with btich an arrangement thegovernment would raise the revenue.'lost by the abolition or heavy reductionof customs duties on the products oithose nations. In some of the states thedemocratic platforms favor an in-

come-

tax as ono of the meansof providing revenue , and amongdemocratic leaders. Mr. Mills of Texaschampions this policy , but no such in-

quisitorial system would bo long toler-ated by the American people , and be-

sides-

it ia a very uncertain method ofobtaining revenue. The trouble withthe democratic party is , that whileithas abundant capacity for finding faultit lacks the ability to find wlsoand sound remedies for what itcomplains of. When the partyhad an opportunity to frame atariff law suited to its notions it bun-gled

¬

the business so wretchedly that thework is still remembered as a reproachto the intelligence of the men who didit. It is to have another opportunity ,and the prediction is entirely safe thatit will make just as bad u job of itsalTorts to reform the tariff as it did inthe Fiftieth and preceding congresses.-

course ho was surprised at his arrest.That ho owed anybody $-1,000 was news to-

him. . Ho could not got out of Jail to earn ibomoney , so it looked as if ho must slay Ihoraall his life. Besides , ho was willing to marrv-llio girl , but nobody knew whore she was-

story was printed. The girl sawit and wrote saying she was now u happywife and mother , anu so did not duro to comoto Brooklyn and help Johnson out of histrouble , although she had thu kindliest , feel-ings

-

toward him. However , after much cor-respondence

¬

, she was induced to-como. . Johnson was before JudgeClements a wcok ago on a writ ofhabeas corpus. Ho claimed thai no notice of-tbo trial In Herklmcr county had boou .servedupon him and Ho know nothing about it untilthe judgment talton by default was served ,

and ho also produced eVidunco lo show thataf lor Miss O'Briuu began suit against Himshe married and had withdrawn from theprosecution of the suit against him. But themost striking allegalion mudo by the counselfor Johnson was that Miss O'Brien had givenn satisfaction picco for the judgment she ob-tained

¬

against Johnson , and Ihoro was reallyno claim upon which Johnson could bo hold.That satisfaction piece , it was claimed , wason llllng in the clerk's ofllco in Horkimcr-county. . It was boldly assorted that Johnsonbad been arrested at the instance of someHerKlmer county lawyer , who wa > interestedin the case and who had adopted this plan to-onforca his Hen on the judgment and collecthis bill of costs.

When this phase of the case was suggestedto Judge Clements his Interest In the uialtorwas incroabcd and ho remarked ho wouldnever allow the machinery of his court to borun for such a purpose. T'tio transcript of-thu sullsfactlon piece , now on lilo in Hcrki-mor

-countywas produced In court yesterday.

The record showed that the judgment hadboon satisfied and cancelled. Johnson wasthereupon discharged.

The former Miss O.Brion. who seems tohave seriously repented the part she took incausing Johnson's arrest and incarceration ,

was in court when Johnson was released.They wont away together. It would bo dilll-cult to sav which was the happier of the two.They acted like a ecyiplo ol school childrenjust out on a long vacation.
