Nebraska wheels into line with q repub.
lican majority Of 25. 2S6 over the democratic
candidate and 41,3SS majority over the
~greenback candidate for supreme judge, and
like majorities for other candidates. This
gives the position to Cobb and relegates to
the shades of overwhelming!defeat Wakeley,
democrat, and Saxon, greenbacker. Last
year for the same Office Cobb received a ma.
jority of 5,765. The inference is that Ne
braska has become a solid element in the
solid north.
