William IJIoedorn.

Mr. Bloedorn is now before tho voters of Platte county as tho nim.iico of tho Democratic party for tho office of County Commissioner for the second district. This is an important office and one that requires more practical coumon sense to fill, perhaps, than any in tho Stato. TL ft I mere aro many autics cotiuocteu with tho offioe of County Commissioner to which the statutes of the State cannot bo applied, hence tho call for the exercise of sound judgment and experience in order to meet the vuried wants of the different localities. Mr.

Bloedorn is loom practical and impartial and will make just such a Commissioner as Platte county needs. R. II. Ihnrj is a whole team as a Commissioner, having the requisite amount of backbone to say no or yes at tho proper time, looking to tho good of the county at 1 rge in preference to that of individuals, aod the Commissioner who will dKotherwise is not calculated to do equal justice and should not bo placed in a position whero fixedness of purpose to discharge his duties fearlessly and impartially is one of the essential qualification. Grant has issued his proclamation ordering the people of Sou'h Carolina to disperse and go to their homes Grant says there is insurrection in that State.

Nobody can deny that there has been insurrection in South Carolina since the Democracy of that St.te nominated Wado Hampton for Governor. Insurrection is derived from two latiu words in, up and mneo, to rise to rise up aud rush to tho polls aud elect Wade Hampton. Yes, there is insurrection in that Stato.

Mason, farmer from Merrick county, and an old soldier, came into this offieo Monday evening aud asked for some late papers, "What kind of papers do you wish?" "I want papeil that will give meionio information about TilJen's record, neighbor of mine came into the field where I was at work, the other day, and asked me who I was going to vote for this election, and I told him for Tilden lie saiu, 'ao you kdow mot uiuen is a i mi. i a thief and a No, I never heard this about him and if he is a rebel I will not vote for him, but I am tired of the Radical party and would like to vote for a good wan. I think a change is needed and if you can't prove to me that Tilden is a rebel and a thief I shall vote for him. He said he had read it In the Inter-Ocean, that was all he' knew about it." We asked Do you believe the peo ple of New York would elect Tilden Governor of the State, over a great man and a leading General in the late war, ike Dix, if ho was a I do not, and that is why I want to bo convinced that Tilden was a rebel." You say you can't vote for the party in power any longer, now what has brought you to this conviction "In the first place, the condition of the whole country is Worse now than ever before and has been getting so for ten years, and I believe this state of things is not owing to any fault with the people but is attributable to those in control. I think the people are being deceived.

The men in office make promises but never fulfill them and when they are called upon to account for all their broken pledges and the wrongs practiced, they commence to talk about the 'rebel' and the ruin to the country if the Democrats should get into power. They now admit that there is great cor ruption in their party but all the excuse they have to offer for it, is that the Democrats would do no better." Do you believe," we asked, that the old soldiers will vote for Hayes?" "ftouie will, but a great majority won't, although Republican leaders ex-f 4 pect mat most ot them win. What makes you thiuk they expect this?" One thing that leads me to this con clusion is the strong appeals they make to us in every campaign and from their I wrote to ashinEton. omo time ago, to have my pension papers changed from where I live to Omaha, and when received my certificate, a few days from the proper authoiites at Wash ington, there was a private letter accompanying it, saying if the Republican party is continued iu power the proba bility is, that, in the uext four years, there would be au increase in soldier's peusious." This is one of tho thousand tricks re sorted to by Radical officials, all over this country, to iuflueuce votes and carry tho election by bribery, and yet there are men, professing to be candid, when they a-soit that Hayes will turn out the thieves and put in honest men. If these office-holders had any such idea, or if they didn't know that Hayes would be powerless to do such a thing, it would be tho most unnatural supposition to cou-cludo that these same men would do all in their power to elect a man, whose Qrst act as President, would bo to lop off tho heads of the very men who had been instrumental in securing his election.

The present administration has been growing in dhsfavor with tho people from the day Grant was re-elected the second time, very many fending men in the Republican party being the first to break away from that party, asserting that Grant's civil service reform and reconstruction policy was a sham aod a delusion.

The great mass of Republicans still worked for party stocess under the supposition that the time had not arrived for the Southern Democrats and the Northern wing of that party to have control of the government, in as much as the latter element would be led by tho former. This idea had a controlling influence over the mass of Republicans, but as State after State at the South fell into the hands of the and the Republicans of the North saw that blood shed and auarehy gave way to peace and quiet among the people of both races and taxes growing less each year, under Democratic rule, this unnatural alarm with the masses' at the North, soon began to gradually assume a dhTerent shape, the most intelligent among them believing that this cry of "rebel'' and danger of the southern whites were only intended as a delusion to divert the minds of the people from the plundering and ras cality goiug on in the departments of the government. And this conviction with the masses was confirmed, when the Babcotk, Belknap, Robeson, Custom house and whisky frauds of last winter wero brought to light. The people then began to see why it was that millions bad been extorted each year from their hard earnings and not more than one third of this enormous sum had found its way into the treasury or applied to the reduction 'of the national debt. The revolution in public seutfment and natural revulsion that necessarily followed in the wake of these disclosures of wrongs in the administration was not more mani fest among the people themselves than was the attempt by the Radical press, and by the leaders of the Republican party to convince the people that the fcrctiug out of these frauds ou tho treasury had been set on foot before tho Democrats obtain ed control of Congress, and this position they have attempted to prove from the fact of Mr.

Bristow having been called into Grant's cabinet for that particular purpose. We apprehend, however, the people Will aot accept this view of the matter as satisfactory, especially in the light of the known fact that Mr. Bris- tow ana bis subordinates were dismissed from the treasury for no other reasou thau his efforts to inaugurate reform in that department, the firct step showing his Ltentim in this direction being hU raid on the whisky thieves. Giantism became intolerably odious to the people when these fraud came to light, and the third terra cUmar ceased the day tha Grant accepted Belknap's resignation AflrifliA mnM til- C.i uvu piauiMuic, out no less iKIUr fcive snare was smbstitated to blind the masses and capture the country This new leal in the game of plunder was soon de vised anJ proclaimed to the country by Morton, Blaine, Cameron, Chandler and party, snd it was but a short time until we were told that the Republican party "mtmt -flrm the party within the paretit determination to make war upon Torkey has confirmed the fears which, for several days, has depressed.

Homo special says the cmiuittee which superintended the recention of the Spanish pilgrim, by the Pope Monday, and who were prmcipa'ly C-tlists, refused to admit the Spanish embassador to Italy and attaches, al though they were-duly provided with tickets. i- The Evening Post, speaking of the war prospects la its financial column, says: In looting over the situation, however, it is impossible to come to any other conclusion than that tho war, even if it is eonfined to Russia and Turkey, which is hardly among the possibilities, will be nil that is needed to thouroughly awaken a degree of profitable activity to every branch of business, sueh as has not been seen for ninny years. It aiu4 not be forgotten, however, that at least a part ot what our exports will gain in this way, will be lost on cotton, which we have enormous crops this ear. Whether the domestic consumpiiou of cotton can be increased so as to compensate for whatever reduction there may be iu foreign demand is another question.

London, 0ct. 18. The Daily Tel egraph, in a leading article says: England, much as she loves and desires peace, must wage war Irom end to end of the world, rather than per mit the Russian fl to be hoisted at Constantinople. Lord Derby justly suid that for Brili-h interests, the Eastera question centered in Constantinople, aud we hold it clear to all sensi-ple and resolute Englishmen-, that at the first overt invasion of Turkish Territory, the British flett, with the consent ol the Sultan, should not assuredly cast anchor, in tho Golden Horn. Those to whom such a step might appear like help for the Turks, may take comfort, for it would simply be an act vital to British security, and accomplished in the name of and for the pre teetion of British rights.

If it wete done, Asia, from Scutari to Shanghai, Would proclaim that we had abdicated the sceptre of the cast, and commerce all along our oriental lines, would live at tho n.erey of a future Black sea squadron The Times editorially says The bppes we have so anxiously chcr.shed must, we fear, at length be abandoned, and we must recognize the fact that negotiations are praci ieally at an end, and that tie twa belligerents no face to face must be left to the conse quences of their fates. Another 24 hours has brought no relief to the tensiun under which we were laboring, and eveuts are evidently moving too fast on the Danube to be srres'ed by the slow prozrew of even telegraphic I diplomacy. gone west.
