CAMPAIGN GLITTER.

Van Wyok through the independent state
! central committee, has challenged Judge
Crounse to joint debate. The matter will
come up before the republican STATE central
/ committee tonight. 1t hadn't ought to take
many minutes TO dispose of this-not much
longer than it takes man to say yes.
The most characteristic speeches made by
Judge Crounse when in congress were those
delivered on the spur of the moment during
running debates. On one occasion the judge
became involved in a controversy concerning
the appropriation for the mileage accounts of
the members OF congress aud member from
Pennsylvania intimated that all the western
congressman rode to and from Washington
upon passes.
THE gentleman may speak for himself,
shall speak for myself" came the quick re-
tort. ~ hold no passes and ask for none;
pay my way as go"
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligonce
Governor Boyd while visiting that city, in
an interview said: "The democrats in Ne
hrsska cannot hope to carry tho state this
fall, but think there will be an understand
ing by which enough Of them will vote for
euo "cuN6T elSCJOFS W give buo SbaIV W
Weaver, and thus perhaps throw the election
into the house. The democrats will OF course
put up a ticket of their own. The democrats
have fair chance of electing the governor
and part of the state ticket"
and Young Democrat of Omaha wants
Boyd renominated.
But listen to this from the Grand Island
Dpmocrat. stNVe that (,overnOr
Boyd will be candidate for renomination.
Should he succeed in packing the convention
he would be compelled to get out a search
warrant after election to find out in what
part of the st ate he ran"
Here's another one from the democratic
Schuyler Herald: IF the democrats of the
Secon congressional district think so much
of Governor Boyd let them nominate him for
congress-
Another little democratic plan is thus out
lined by the Nebraska City Press: sit is to
nominate Governor Boyd for governor and
Colonel f. p. Ireland for lieutenant COVER
| nor, then to elect V an Wyck governor on a
combine and Ireland for second place. Then
to make the old man senator ana leave a
dc mocrat in the gubernatorial chair. Talk
of your schemes !"
| When he was IL republican Paul Wander
WORT was always considered an office-seek
| ing political trickster, says the Silver Creek
| Times. Paul had always been fed on govern
| ment pap and when he was about to be
| weaned he suddenly became a reformer, de-
| nounced the mother that gave him SUCK and
! is now "pure and honorable gentlemi an"
1t Is q sight to make angels Weep.
Another endorsement of S. e. Bassett for
| lieutenant governor on the repu olican ticket
| comes from the Shelton Clipper. Mr. Bas
| sett probably has larger acquaintance
among the farmers of the state than any
other man engaged exclusively in agriculture.
| He served one term in the state legislature
| from his county, and has always shown him
| self worthy of the confidence Of the people.
Matthew Gerlng of Cass county aspires to
| be temporary chairman of the democratic
| state convention. MIR. Gerlng wants the
| office evidently because he will not have to
| go before the people of the state to secure an
| endorsement
The democrats of McKeighan's home
| county, Webster, have gouo back on him.
| The county convention has selected delegates
| to the congressional convention who do not
propose to have the COW shed statesman en-
dorsed.
Honors are crowding thick upon Editor
| Marvin of the Beatrice Democrat While still
serving rs member of the city council and
| superintendent of the speed ring, he has
| been nominated for the legislature by his ad-
| miring Gage county friends.
