street corners and talk politics and the
chances of the respective tickets. This con-
tinues from morning until night. Nothing
else goes. Business practically stands still
and news centers are as barren as the great
Sahara. But the end is in sight.
In this county it is only a question Of ma
jority with the republican legislative ticket.
1t is reasonably certain, however, that
Charley Hall will run behind the party vote.
This ought not to be, for he is one of the
very best men on either ticket. His attitude
on the submission question Is misunderstood,
and for this reason it is said the German re-
publican voters in some parts of the county
will scratch him and vote for James Kelly,
a legislative candidate OF the democratic
ticket, and an ex.saloon keeper. The
intention to elect Kelly at the ex.
Hall stands irrevocably committed to
the fight against railroad domination, and
from every platform from which he has
spoken he has declared il to be his purposetO
fight for the people, cheaper freight rates
and against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of corpora.
tons at the public expense. For this reason
the railroads have it in for him and they will
show him no mercy at the polls. Money will
be freely used to defeat him.
j. G.. Mcbride sails along in his fight very
smoothly. He has c%ornered the enemy and
his name will shine among the vlctors the
day after the election. There is no doubt
whatever about the success of the republican
ticket in Lancaster county. 1t is only neces-
Bary here to keep an eye on the Hall scalp
ers. o.
McShane money keeps pouring into the
city every day. His pastors are in the hands
of almost every voter in the county. They

Shane. There is no 'b%uncombe in
the money statement. l have it from the
best of authority that a former prominent
republican accepted $3.50 from democracy's
leaders yesterday, and that it will be used to
defeat Governor Thayer. If proof is wanted
put Hon. Web Eaton on the stand, swear
him and the statement will bear fruit. There
will be a shameless expenditure of money at
the polls here on election day. The ballot
will be prOstituted as never before.
Many republicans will scratch Secretary
Laws. Money will have no part in this deal.
His record on the freight reduction order is
too transparent to work. 1t will cost him a
great many votes IN Lancaster county. But
1t is stated here that Thayer and Leese are
to be traded to bolster him by the whole
band of railroad strikers. This move, it is
said, is to scatter all over the state, and is q
game that will bear watching. Divers other
rumors are afioat, but in the main treachery

From now until the day OF the battle the
"still hunt" will be the order with the re-
spective candidates. The campaign prac-
tically closes in the city tomorrow, and the
imposing Of any during the fight. The city
will swarm with people from all parts of the
state. Cornell will be here. The best talent
OF the party in the state will be marshalled.
GRIT WON THE DAY.
The farmers and business men Of Tobias
celebrated the hour Of their triumph over the
opposition Of the Burlington yesterday by
laying the cornerstone of the new elevator
now building ut that place. 1t was a great
day for the citizens of the town and vicinity.
Every imaginable obstacle had been put in
play by the Burlington schemers to defeat
the enterprise, but without avail, Pure grit
won the day, and a fine grain elevator viii
soon stand as a monument to their energy
and enterprise. The builders expect to have
the building ready to receive grain before
the Christmas holidays. 1t is building on
the line Of the Kansas City & Oman road.
General Van Wyck passed through Lincoln
to-day EN- route home. He honored the citi-
zens of Tobias with his presence and deliv-
cred the address Of the day. He discussed
the relations Of capital and labor and dwelt
npon the encroachments Of corporations and
An immense throng Of people greeted him.
At the conclusion of his address Hon. Rings

day was a great day in the history OF Tobias.
