THE NEW SENATOR FROM NEBRASKA
The Omaha Tribune, which has zealously adj
vocated the election of Hon. Phineas W.
Hitchcock as U. S. Senator, says he is gen.
tleman in the very prime of life, being little
over forty years fage; man of worldly SUBJ
stance, and universally esteemed. His char
acter is without stain, and his political rec
ord, as an official and straight-out Republl.
can, without blemish; and, as his election
shows, he is one of the most popular men,
among all parties, in the State.
Mr.. Hitchcock came to Omaha in the spring
of 1857, engagiA. in the first place, in the in.
surance and real estate business, though NOM
inally belonging to the legal profession. From
thu. first, he took deep interest in politics,
and it may be said that he and Hon. Joel 7.
Griffin, were the first men who stood up,
against all opposition, and in the face of all
dangers, as thorough-going abolitionists, the
earliest and most prominent representatives
of the Republican party in this city, if not in
the state.
In 1861, Mr.. Hitchcock was appointed
United States Marshal by President Lincoln.
This office he held until 1854, when he was
which position he discharged with honor and
fidelity. He also filled the Office of Surveyor
General of this district, his Office being at
Plattsmouth, until the election of General
Grant.
Mr.. Hitchcock has ever since his advent here
mingledlargely and infuentially in politca life.
He was interested in, and wrote constantly
forl the first Republican paper published in
the State. In the early days, he was mem
Der OF the Omaha Library and debating So
cety, and was, at that time, considered its
best debater. Always modest and I'M
obtrusive in manner, no. boisterous and ag.
gressive, he always argued the point in ques-
ton with remarkable ability, and was regard
ed as possessing very superior qualities as a
debater and extemporaneous speaker.
P. W. Hitchcock is faithful friend, and an
out-spoken and honorable opponent; ever
true to his promises, and universally esteemed
as an honorable, and valuable citizen; a
thorough Republican; vigorous and effect
i've worker; of the most correct personal hab-
its, and will serve the State and nation with
credit and fidelity in the lofty position to
which he has been elected.

corner for opportunities to denounce the
mythical "venality" of Grant OR some other
imagined wrong doing on the part of promi'
nent "Black Republicans" But it is singu'
lar fact that, though Republicans are deeply
involved in the swindling transactions OF 1914
the Democracy have been quiet about Inc
matter. They have turned their eyes else
where. They have declined to asltate the
subject. Investigation has been at the in
stance of Republicans instead of Democrats.
Democratic papers have been reticent. The
Democratic commissioner did not sign the re-
port made by his associates, though he might
with all propriety have done so though he was
member of the Legislature. All this singu-
lar disinclir alton to engage in the discovery
OF wrong has no other explanation than the
fact that some of the Pixies and Hubbards be-
longing to the Democracy are as deeply in
volved in the disgraceful affair as anybody.
This is extremely reprehensible. A minority
party has none of those responsibilities for
the safety and well-being of the State that
might be allowed as trifing excuse for the
| conduct of the party in power that should
shrink from the disclosure of the crimes or
follies of some of the individuals composing it.
Political Notes.
The Democrats of the New Jersey Lesisla-
ture nominated ex-Gov. Randolph for U. S.
Senator Hon. F. T. Frelinahuysen (Rep.)
was elected, receiving AZ votes against 80 for
Mr.. Randolph.
The exciting Senatorial contest in Kansas
has been narrowed down to Alexander Cald-
well and Sidney Clarke, now Representative,
who makes the race in face of defeat for a
| denomination to the House.
