POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Colonel Henry A. Morrow of Ft, Sidney,
Neb., is candidate for brigadier general,
and if a splendid war record will bring him
his desired commission, Colonel Morrow will
not be disappointed.
Colonel Tom Ma jorS, according to Ne
maha county paper, will ask to be made gov
ernor. Colonel Tom will perhaps continue to
ask for an indefinite period of time
II would seem from an advertisement ap-
pearing in his personal mugwump organ that
Mr.. Broatch could not manage his own coach
man during the primaries, as he did during
the last city election. The defeated governor
advertises for a new coachman-one neat in
personal habits. AS Mr. Broatch is now en-
trely out of politics it would seem that here
after his coachman could hold his job.
Frank Wright is a candidate for state SEN
ator from the counties of Nemaha and John
son. Nemaha is not entitled to that Office
this year, but Mr.. Wright will contest any
way. Joe Lamasters friends are thinking of
pushing him to the front. Joe has ''jined
the dimicrats'' because he was not satisfied
concerning the tariff views and some other
things of the other party.
E. A. Barton is candidate for state super
intendent of public instruction and will
bring in his county.
The Howells Journal says: ''The repub-
lcan politicians who underestimate the
strength Of John M. Thayer are going to get

vention convenes on the 23d he will have a
following that will surprise some of his oppo-
nents."

ion in Dodge county over the right of the
Richards men to say that Dorsey should not

OH the subject which are not just in accord
with the belief of locker on.
The Beatrice Democrat gives this good ad-
vice-as good to republicans as to democrats
"If the farmers and worlkingmen do not
take an interest in the primaries, and help
| run the politics of the county, they will have
| no one to blame but themselves. Now is the
| time to take hand do not wait until after
| the convention and then tell about what you
propose to do next year"
| The west is now coming in for her share OF

complemented US on our neat and substantial
buildings"
