PURE REPUBLICANS ",
Principl es of the Party and What IL

The ad dress Of Hon. John L. WEBSTER of
Omaha vas as follows:
For twenty years has Nebraska had
It's star among the constellation of the
azure blue of the American flag. Step ping
into the union with quarter Of a mlllionof
people, she has more than kept pace with the
march of the world, until her pOpul alton has
increased l,150000. During the last ten
years no state in the union has kept an equal
pace with her in the growth of her in dus-
tries, in the eN tent of her agricultural pro-
ductiOn, in the development other merCan-
tile interests, nor in the grow of her popu-
lation Considering her youth as state,
she stands without a rival-without a peer
among the states of the republic,
For these twenty three years her poll teal
interests and desinies have been under the
control of the republican party. At the BIZ
ennial elections for twenty-t hree years she
has regularly installed n repu blican governor.
At the coming election the republican party
will not only honor itself, but will honor your
city of Fremont by the election Of Governor
Richards.
In the days of our young statehood we
learned our republic IN from sue h old stall

patriotic bravery of GARFIELD and the pot-

Wehave withus men in our own party in
this state who learned their repu blicanism
from the career of the martyred Lincoln.
We have with us boys who learned their re-
puolcanism while marching from Atlanta to

wlthus boys who learned theirppu bicanisIn

Hon. John G. Watson, chairman Of the re-

substance as follows;
The republican party Of the state of Ne

gubenat orial campaign. In round numbers

annivers ary of the admission OF Nebras ka as

gained entered upon its first state campaign,
fromwhich it emerged triumphant. In each
successive year have n ebraska republicans
followed its party standard to victory.
Twelve times has Nebraska elected a re-

coloH, thanks to the courage ard con sist-
ency OF our leaders and the bravery and
patriotic leadership Of our ran k and file, have
never been lowered The order 10 retreat
each political battle we have occupied the
field fromwhich the enemy has fed.
Twcntythree years ago the republican
party of Nebraska took possession of the
Stae govern llent, ana w ell and WOrthlly has
1t discharged its trusts and minstered to the
progress and prosp perty Of tho state. The
party tookit as state of 90, 900 population /;
II holds 1t today an empire commonwealth
with more than a million inhabitants. The
party came into power when the equal
lied value OF taxable property in its
twenty eight counties was $4,000, 900 ;
II holds ittoday when the taxable wealth OF
Its ninety counties fOots up S25O0oO, 900. The
party has governed the state honestly and
we'll 1t foundit in debt 500, 900. Today il
is out OF debt, something that can not be said
of any state with an alliance or prohibi-
tion or a democrats governor. 1t has been
the party aim in the administration of the
state govern ment to subserye the public
good and TO maintain untarnished the
credit and high character Of the
state; to promote economy in every depart
ment and in all respects TO be faithful and
truein the traditions and principles which
have governed this country for the las {
twenty three years, 1t has gone on from
prosperity to prosperity, until today in all
the elements ofgood government il will com
pare fave ombly with any state in the union.
In short, after twenty-three years frule, the
republican party OF Nebraska stands before
the people of the state ready tOrender an ac-
count OF It's stewardship, aLd with justifable
pride invites the closest scrutiny of its record.

Eureka OIL Field.

\ well known producer who has been

attention for the past year and has met
with good success. was visitor in Wash
ington ON Tuesday, and when asked
about that field said:
The most recent feature of that field
is the Bull Creek well, at which the sand
was got at 1897 feet. 1t is probably a
MackSburg sander and will make from
10 to u barrels. IL is certain that a pool
will be found southwest of Eureka, away
from the break, which, after it leaves
Eureka, extends on 10 degree line west
of south TO Burning Springs, where it
tlattenS out.
Another of the features of the field
Is that the BarnSdale II Moore wells, Ia
ken in connection with the last Rutter-
cutter well show a parallel streak with
the belt already developed. "-lTGShing-
