OF all the candidates named for
governor, Hon. Leander Gerard 10
to be preferred on account of his f..
miliarity with the history Of Nebras-
ka Sc . territory and as . state; his
acquaintance with prominent citi-
zens of the state; his knowledge of
the needs of the people, Of which he
shows . keen instinct, and for which
he proposes expedients that are sound
and practical ; he is to be preferred
because, more than all the others, he
thinks for himself, and is not inau.
enced by designing men whose in
tentions are for private gain, and
against the public welfare. A lack
Of se~lf-strength and ~self-reliance has
ruined many An official, and brought
disaster to the people whose interests
ought to have been at least conserved,
II not furthered. Besides, many .
man loses head when placed in q re-
sponsible position. This is not the
case with Gerard. He is cool-head-
ed, collected, full Of ex~pedients, and,
lack of these, persistent and plucky.
His qualities. not at any time for
dress parade, combine to make him
most excellent governor for the
state Of Nebraska, from 1857 to 1891,
term of years which will zee every
of our vast, fertile prairies
into counties, and during
greater attention than hereto
fore will doubtless be given to the
laws that are to help or hinder the
well-bcing of our citizens.
While conserving all of good that
have, We should select for our
servants in Office the men who think
on public matters !; those who
have the ability, the disposition and
the determination to weigh we'll the
effect of proposed measures, and de-
tide for the public good those who
decided, are not easily swerved
rom the straight line of duty.
While there is yet plenty of time
o the State Convention, it is not too
Early for the people who express
at the primaries, the
of the precinc,s, and the
of party interests generally
o consider what is to be done. There
. a wonderful difference between an
offensive and defensive campaign.
md this should be settled by the
:hinkers, before the convention, and
lot after it, to the end that the stand
.rd bearer of the republican party in
his campaign may lead to victory,
lot only by the usual majority but
" q greatly increased majority.

The Columbus JOURNAL dominates
Hon. Leander Gerard for governor
of Nebraska with glowing eulogy.
The JOURNAL says that bis whole
life "hss been in consonance with
the sturdy, progressive career of the
republican party" and that his nomi-
nation would be "a fitting pledge to
progress, which would be respond
ed to with slscrity by Nebraska's
thousands of freemen." This being
the case. there apparently remains
nothing to be done except to nomi-
nate Mr.. Gerard by acclamation.-
Beatrice Exprcss.
The appropriateness Of which will
become still nor apparent as the
time for the state convention ap-
proaches. The republican party is q
party of ideas, and desires q man of
ideas for governor; composed of in
dependent men, it needs q man OF
similar disposition looking to q fu-
ture which widens the opportunities
of the race, Nebraska republicans, in
nominating Lesnder Gerard for
governor will be saying to every
well-behaved, industrious, enterprise
ing lad, ready to carve bis way
through the world, Win your way"
A man of ideas and of deeds, he
would do honor to the Office and to
the political party that had the good
sense to place him there. OF course,
nominate him by reclamation, and
unanimously.

pese to have the conservatory. The floor
will be Of polished hard wood. At the end of
the room on Fifth street is to be erected a

frances to the structure will be three,
