Omaha daily bee., 1891-10-03
POINTS ON ST1TE Politics.

South Omaha Tribune: Republican papers
generally are well pleased with the nomina.
tions of the republican state convention, and
are willing to tic TO a Post.
Nebraska City Press: The republican
ticket is made up of men from the people who
will serve the people and will not spend two
years electioneering for a second term.
Superior Journals: No man on the bench
in this state has a better reputation for ster-
ling integrity, commanding ability, and utter
independence of railway or other corporation
influence.
Fremont Tribune: Judge Broadly does not
propose TO be thrust in where angels dare not
tread. The republicans OF Nebraska have
their fighting clothes on this year, and don't
you forget 1t.
Madison Chronicle: Judge Post is well
and favOrably known all over the state, a
conscientious, honest lawyer and of profound
legal ability. He will receive the united and
harmonious support of every republican in
the state and will be elected.
Kearney Hub: 1t was the break of Reese's
friends that nominated Post, and the latter
will be satisfactory 10 the strong Reese sen
timent that has ~pervaded the state. AS a
matter of fact the nomination of Judge Post
has harmonlzed the whole situation.
Columbus Telegram DEM: Judge Broadly
has declined to accept the democratic nomi-
nation for the Office of associate justice of the
supreme court Of Nebraska. 1t now becomes
the duty of the central committee to till the
vacancy.
Wayne Herald: If Omaha but does her
part in the coming election the republican
plurality will exceed {, 1000 this fall ana hay
ing been granted the chairman of tho state
central committee and a regent, and also
with harmony in the camp she Will doubtless
do her part.
Fremont Flail: Those who are predicting
that either Post or Edgerton Will be elected
supreme Judge may be reckoning without
thnf. boat II Fntgt hn n am EapaH thuf Ada
Bitten bender is in the harness and they say
she will run like a scared deer. AS between
Ada and Edgerton it would not be hard for
the tlail TO choose, for Ada is by far the bet
ter man.
Custer County Leader: The republican
state convention was marked for its harmony
and u~nanimity of action and as a result it
gave the people tho best possible state ticket.
The ticket is n strong one and will draw to
its support every republican vote Gust last
fall, and many wanderers will return to the
fold, so that it's success is assured by a good
round 10000 majority.
York Times Nebraska has seen adversely
in various forums, but until she sees an indie
pendent victory in the state she Will never
know what trouble is. When the people of
the east become convinced by our own acts
that we endorse reputation, and the millions
of dollars of borrowed capital upon which
we arc all doing business are withdrawn
from the state, we will begin to know what
calamity means,
York Republican: IT IS safe to say that
Judge Post will be supported by the bar of
his district almost without regard to political
preference. The enthusiasm shown over his
nomination by the people of his own district
is a good guarantee that he is n man who
ought TO be elected. Men of all parties extol
his honesty, his fairness and above all his
commanding ability as n iurist, The action
of the convention In making him tho nomi-
nee will be heartily endorsed by the rank
and file of the party and by the people as a
whole at the ballot box.
Blair Pilot: If the people of Nebraska de.
sire the election of an able, honorable jurist
for Justice OF the supreme court no more fay
orabie opportunity ever has or ever will be
presented to them to crafty that desire than
to support Judge Post at this time, He has
the experience, the integrity, the legal ability
and his private life as well as his public
record are without spot or blemish. What
more can be- sOughtt Judge Broadly, the
democratic nominee, has declined TO run and
the race is between Judge Post aud Farmer
Edgerton, In tins case there can 90 no doubt.
The people will support and elect Judge
Post. @
Seward Reporter. The selection of DIR. ID.
S. Mercer as chairman OF tho republican
state central committee was an emineEtly
WISE choice. DIR. Mercer is a man of ability
and of great popularity. He is able TO de-
vote much time TO the work of the party and
will take a great deal of pride in retrieving
the fortunes OF the republicans of Nebraska.
We look to see "a great work accomplished
campaign of 1891 is a sklrmish for position
for the battle Of 1892. This IS fully under
stood by the chairman Of the republican
committee aud he will use his greatest en-
deayors TO put his party in the best possible
shape for the great contest OF next year.
