Noir, however, they have not the least shadow of an excuse.-- The vote is the largest ever polled. In the states carried by the Republi­ cans everybody came "out and voted, who wanted to do M». The Democrats were routed, horse foot anil dragoon*, and mMt of theto have the manliness to acknowledge it and accept the sit­ uation. A few disappointed office seekers try to hug to themselves the,delusion that perhaps they can sirsak Into an office fcjr a paltry trick or a legal quibble.-- A good specimen of this sort of sub- terfupe is seen In the claim that the Republican ballots cast In the State of N^w York at the recent election should not)» countert, because they contained th« caption repeated on the opposite aide as an endorsement, while the Democratic ballots (lid not. The Re­ publican ballots they claim, therefore, were irregular, and should be thrown* out, and the will of a half million of freeman be rendered of no avail. Of course, no attention will be paid to this senseless Idea, even by Democrn*- ic Boards of Supervisors. Noticeably that of New York city Intends to go ahead and canvass the returns In due conformity to law. Even If any Dem­ ocratic Board of Supervisors could be found rash enough to throw out the Republican votes, they would be promptly restored and counted by the State Board of Canvassers, which is IIP publican. Edward K. Adgar, a prominent'mem- her of the Democratic State Commit­ tee, conies out in an article to the Al­ bany Argus in which he disapproves tif iu strong terms the proposal to throw Out tiie Republican ballots, and couut the State for Hancock, and thinks such • proceeding would be a "long step to­ ward Mexicanizing our government." ' ' Republicans need have no fears on 4tiis point. The Democrats are sim­ ply talking, a»d there Is not the slight­ est danger that Gen. Garfield will be defrauded out of the Presidency. He was fairly elected, and his iuaugura- fion is as certain as is the dawn ot the fsurth of March next. uiMi»m *i The new Illinois CongrcMloaal gat Ion stands as follows: Flrat District--Win.

The Irou shackles of the slave piled mountains- high are evidence of the devotion of the Republican party to the liberty of man. The national flag floating trium­ phantly upon all the land and upon every sea proves that the national authority under 1*epubllean custody has been maintained. Our treasury notes at par and national bonds at * premium in ail the markets of the world show financial credit under Re­ publican administration without a par­ allel among nations. Add to all this a condition ot prosperity among all the people, such as wa« never before known and we iiave a comprehensive sum­ mary of the achievements of the Re­ publican party." And tills record^ bright with the noble deeds of noble men, has been the secret power at work during the past campaign. To such a party do we owe our present condition and In the custody of fuch a party our national government is se­ cure. tST In answer to a correspondent as to what part of the voting populatior of the United States are farmers, the Chicago Journal says: "The census of 1870 gave the number ofj persons en­ gaged in agriculture of the age of ten years or over. 5,922,471. That number was a little over one-fifth of the pop­ ulation of the United States of ten years old and over. The total vote of 1868 was 5,724.682. So the same ratio would give in round numbers 1,200.000 as the approximate number of farmer voters in that year. This year th«* total vote will probably reach 0.000.000. and it Is safe to say that 1,400,000 of these will be cast by voters engaged In agricultural pursuits. Fktote THE NKRUA3KA KXCUKSlON. LINCOLN. NEB., NOV. llth, BSFC EDITOR PLAINDKALKR.--While wait­ ing for the train to go west I will give you a short sketch of our Excursion trip thus far. We left home In fair weather and arrived at Aurora about noon where we found every body go­ ing. We were fortunate enough to get our tickets and get away on the extra train, I say we, that means A. L, Parson*. Charley Granger. Henry Smith and myself. We run Into rain soon after leaving Aurora rind that continued all night. We crossed the Mississippi at Burtingtou in the even­ ing. After leayfaj? there we turned In for the night. Morning found us In southwestern Iowa with snow on the ground. Do not think much of that portion of Iowa, We crossed the Mis­ souri .River at Plattsmouth on the New Iron Bridge, the dimension*, of which I cannot give but suffice it to say it Is one Grand structure, start- Injj from the low bottom .laud on the Iowaside and landing on the bluffs on the Neb. side. You have to look about twice to see down to the river and three time* to,see the top of the bluff through which the train passes after leaving the bridge. When our train stopped at Plattsmouth it was boarded by" the Mayor of Lincoln and a Reception boininittee who did all in their power to assist vssltors going.to different points by answering ques­ tions and especially providing for wo­ men and children and old people. We reached Lincoln at 4:30 P. M. and here comes a sight that beggars descrip­ tion. When the train unloaded , the large depot and platform was Utterly packed with people wishing to get ex­ tension ticket?. Trains coming in all the time with hundreds of excursion­ ists. The officers of the R. R. and of the city and the citizens of Lincoln did their best for us. I here met Col. Cropsey, who married Emma daughter of the late John Ro"kwood, of Ring- wood: He is here from Texas. He placed me in the care of C. B. Bench, one of Lincoln's go-ahead busines* men. who generously entertained me for the night. This morning 1 found the depot stilt crowded. But strange to say every body was good natured.-- The air here is very bracing. The weather has cleared up froze quite hard la*t night. \Llncolu is a splendid city, location grand, business lively* Building extensive!}'. The surround­ ing country hard to beat. One thing wanting that is timber. Lincoln con­ tains about fifteen thousand inhabit­ ants. The U. S I'ost Office is here State Asylum, State University and State Penitentiary, and some as nice business blocks as any where found.-- More auou. If. C. MEAD. Ifcr. ti. Even the solid South admits '^jhat the "Grant crowd" did it. The Jkngusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist says: That Garfield has defeated Hancock to certain. It is the general impres­ sion that this verdict would have been reversed had the election come off a Sionth ago. or had Indiana remained Steadfast to her Democratic moorings. That a wonderful change in favor of the Republicans took place when Grant And Conklingcaiue out of their lairs gnd pushed a red hot cauvass West and Sast is undeniable. And then iu the same editorial comes tome good reading. The Constitution- Oli*t continues: The South at least has the satisfac? ion of knowing that she kept her part ~ the bargain, nnd if the "hero of rettvshurg" is not President it is not lier fault. We think too that she lias for the last time been lead lamb-like fn the slaughter. Her experiments ifith loyal civilians and military he­ roes have not been propitious in the ! iaat and the future hold* out no hope l> that direction. * * * The South frill be kept reasonably solid for her •wn protection, and for the purpose of preserving the balance of power lifter the next apportionment, when $lie political domain shifts from East to West. S9*The vanity of George Frederick Cooke, a tragedian who ranked with Kemble o:i the English stage, in the last century reached such a height that he spoke of himself as "we" after the royal fashion, uut the English forgave their favorite everything, even his habit of beastly Intoxication. An aged gentleman telle us that when he was a boy he saw Cooke reeling dnink when he appeared for the first time before a Liverpool audience as "1 ago." It was at the period when Liverpool was sustained by the West India trade, and the audience was composed largely of merchants, A hiss of disgust broke from all parts of the house. It sobered Cooke in­ stantly. Folding his arms he walked to the footlights and surveyed tiie audience with flashing eyes. "Hiss me." he said. "Hiss George Frederick Cooke? Thieves and tiwir- derers! There Is not a brick in your accursed citj' which is not cemented by the blood of a slave T' So much do the English appreciate pluck, that after a moment of stunned silence, he WHS answered by a thunder of applause. ft&'Hetiry Crane. /if Rochelle, and Mainie Degnan. Aurora, total strangers to each other, boarded the same train for the west, she to engage in tiie millinery binlne®# at Sioux City, he to settle on his farm in PiymouLli county, A crowded train brought them togeth­ er on the same seat, and so well pleas­ ed were they with each othet that they left the train at one of the stations, and seeking a Justice of the Peace, were united in marriage. A clear case of love at first sight.--Ogle Co. Reporter BARGAINS --FOB THE PEOPLE--.' V •; t0TA Washington special says there fs a strong conviction among ooliti- cians of both parties that the defeat of fla«cock means the break up of the solid South In the early future. One of the most peculiar and prominent Southern Democrats now in that city *ay*:"lf 1 had my way I would cast the 138 electoral votes of the South for Garfield and tnake the thing unan­ imous." Tills idea it spreading like wildfire. In Chicago prominent men of both parties say if the South would now en me and cast her entire electoral \ vote for Garfield it would do more to inspire friendly feeling between the North and South and do away with 'the sectional hostility than anything else that coitld possibly he done. J9*The census returns are sufficient­ ly completed to show that, accepting the basis la«t adopted, the House uu- der the new apportionment, would be Increased to 368 members. The *>outli- ern and Western states will bo gain, ert. The repeal of the Silver B«ll will l*e the burden of the last message of president Hayes and the main feature Veerelcry Sherman'* report to Congress jey-The Kemper (Miss) Heratd is slightly vexed at the outcome of the recent election. It says, among other tilings: "A good plan for the South to adopt would be to let tliej negro loving. Southern hating, cowardly Democrat* of the North go toll--I,and the sootier they go the better. New York State, always Democratic, has gone for Gar­ field in tiiis election for no other cause than her hatred of the south, and it afiords no pleasure to inform them that we hate them worse than they despise us. Above all things we are proud ot the position taken by the South in this contest; proud are we that she record­ ed her vote solidly for the noble Han­ cock. who was worthy of and received the support of the best men iu the Union. The South is solid aguiust Rad­ ical rule and hate, solid against the enemies of the Constitution, solid against corruption, t-olid against ne­ gro rtomination and by the eternal gods she will remain solid for tiie Dem­ ocratic party and in this conditions she defleg tiie Government of thi> Rad­ ical party which is in league with tiie Government of hell. Let every true ^outheru white man who has a spark of manhood in his body renew his fe­ alty to the Democratic party and swear by all the tender recollections of the past, by all we hold dear in the fu­ ture that let come what will weal or woe. liberty or death, we will stand by that party which has in its ranks iu the Sou;h and North the true respectable element in society. Let us of the South take care of our- ee.ves, and let the Northern Democ­ racy go to the devil." Says the Railway Age: A Detroit inventor has decided-to snufl out the present slow-^oing methods of trans­ portation by substituting an under­ ground railway across the continent through which trains are to be hurled on mi endless belt propelled by sta­ tionary engines placed twelve miles apart. The speed Is to be one hundred and fifty miles au hour. We do not know whether or not this beautiful idea lias been patented, though judg­ ing fi'oin the numerous remarkable notions that do get tiie approval of the patent office, we presume that it has been. If so, our railway managers should "bestir themselves to buy up and extinguish this formidable rival. 1ST*A little four year old Sycamore boy died last week of scarlet fever, shouting "Hurrah for Garfield,"1 with Ills last breath.
