future legislation. But back of all such trite

headed bare-headed stubborn fact that the
thirty years of Republican misrule, malad-

ruption.

comes he will reappear on the following
morning with the greatest show on earth.
The New York World says that Senator
Moody has had considerable experience with
the Indians" This is true. But it is quite

Nebraska is short on population and long
on governors. Dying Republicanism is kick

it is III Minnesota. Butsit is dying right good
