After talking with quite a numberof prominent and representative re-publicans in the Third congressionaldistrict, respecting the manner ofselecting delegates to the Nationalrepublican convention, we arc satis-fied that the dominant sentiment is infavor of an independent district con-vention at a convenient and suitablepoint in the district. The idea of astate convention for this purpose doesnot seem to meet with much favorouUide of Omaha. Grand IslandTimes.

The same sentiment prevails prettyunanimously up in these parts, Mr.Times.miigh Advocate.

rice Express making comment, says :

"To all appearances Logan standsan even chance with any other candi-date who may throw down the gaunt-let for the Nebraska delegation. TheExpress, however, is not preparedjust now to say that Mr. Logan, orMr.Blaln, or Mr. Arthur is the bestor most available candidate for Ne-

ther" formed in lino opposite thepresident and hiB lady friends wherethey stood for half an hour lookingwith great curiosity at the presiden-tial party, but saying not a word. Thenumber in attendance was fully asgreat as ever appeared at any presi-dential reception.

Vax Wyck is one of the most con-specuo- us

men in the United StatesSenate to-da- y. He never lets an im-portant measure pass without havingsomething to say favorable or unfa-vorable. While we differ with himon some questions, we are not foolishenough to question the honest im-

pulses that make him see some thingsin a different light. The anti-Va- n

Wyck papers may say what theyplease against him, but Nebraska hasnever had a man in the senate thatwas worth half as much to the stateas he has been. Until he does wrongin the sight of a majority of the re-

publican electors, we shall say "Go inVan Wyck." Auburn Jiepublican.

Gov. Murray, of Utah, has got be-

fore an investigating committee ofthe honse of representatives on char-ges brought by Representative White,of Kentucky. The evidence beforethe committee showed that whileGov. Murray was U. S. marshal ofKentucky the government bad beenwronged out of thousands of dollarsthrough unnecessary, frivolous andfictitious prosecutions of citizens,some of whom were taken from re-

mote parts of the state all the way toLouisville before post commissioners,who heard their cases on preliminaryexamination apparently for no otherreason than to make costs, thus em-bittering the citizens against the gov-ernment.

ceeding two years and a fine notexceeding $5,000.

The committee appointed at therecent convention of colored voters ofIllinois and known as the "coloredmen's state central committee of thestate of Illinois," has issued a call tothe colored voters in the states ofKansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mich-iga- n,

Pennsylvania, New York, NewJersey, Massachusetts, Connecticutand the District of Colombia for aconference at Pittsburg April 29, 1884,to unite in an appeal to the loyal andpatriotic sentiment of the country tospeedily and effectually determinewhether, in time of peace, the ques-

tions of public concern are to be set-

tled by ballot or by bullet in otherwords, whether the "shot-gu- n policynow in vogue in the south is to berecognized and sanctioned as a legiti-mate mode of political warfare." Theaddress declares that the conferencewill also consider a line of policy forthe colored voters to pursue in thenext national canvass.

A New Jersey editor, after givingRoscoc Conkliog a very flatteringpuff, wrote to that gentlemau suggest-ing that it ouly needed the influenceof Mr. Conkling to secure the nomi-nation of Arthur. Mr. Conkling re-

plied :

"When the Persian embassy wasabout to take leave- - of the Greciancourt, once in olden time, they askedand received some message from' each'of the personages present. When theturn of Zeno came he said:your master that you saw a gray-hair- ed

old man in Athens who knewenough to hold bis tongue.' Pleaseascribe to my admiration for Zenoand bis teachings my silence touchingyour forecast of my action in- - thepolitics of the future."

The Secretary of State has submit-ted a communication to the Presidentrelating to the exclusion of Americanhog products from foreign countries,which gives a detailed history of theexclusion of American meats fromFrance, Germany and other Europeancountries. The communication con-

clusively shows the entire healthful-nes- B

of the pork product of Americaand that the exclusion from foreigncountries was the work of prejudiceor personal interest. The whole sub-ject is being investigated by the .ex-ecutive of this nation, and some peo-

ple may fiud out before the .investigation close? that the AmericaiphogTis about the largest aud best ,porkeVin the world, and made so ''by; the"
