GOV. BOYD SEATED.

Hon. James E. Boyd, of Nebraska,
has been restored to the list of vice.

Post.
There is nothing criminal about Mfr.
Boyd's claim to the governorshlp LOT
Nebraskal. He was honestly elected to
the place.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t would be a great blow to the Re-
publican party if MIR. Thayer were to be
knocked out of Gov. BoyFs seat in Ne
braska.-Louisville Confessional.
In the opinion of the local Republican
organ Gov. Thayer will doubtless have
a clear conscience and public gratitude
back of him when he retires." He will
also have something else if the supreme
court goes against him. He will have
eight months salary to which he was
not entitled.-Kansas City Star.
Mr.. Thayer, of Nebraska, bows to the
decision of the supreme court seat
ing Boyd with the grace of biting into a
sour apple; so bite the supreme court
Justices into the publication Of the de-
cision before the delivery. Both are
what the late Mr.. Napoleon TrOls used
to call ''faitS accompliS. Chicago
Press.
1t is better in every way that the de-
cision should be in favor of Boyd. TO
all intents and purposes he was a citl-
zen. He was also the choice of the peo-
pie of Nebraska for governor. Were he
TO be kept out of the Office during his
term and holdover be allowed to fill
the place, great dissatisfaction would
be created in Nebraska Chicago Trib-
une.
Mr.. Thayer, who has been usurping
the yuberuatOrial chair out in Nebraska,
declares he does not believe the supreme
court has pronounced against his fur
Their occupancy, Mr. Thayer will hold
ON to his place until the last hope has
fled. When he leaves the Office he will
better understand what his partlsans
mean when they speak of ''llttle
Thayer." -Chicago Times.
Gov. Boyd. of Nebraska, says that ''if
the supreme court of the United States
has decided in my favor, | do not an
ticipate that Mr.. Thayer will seek to re-
tain the seat" This might sound like
cheerful irony to one unacQualnted with
the Nebraska pretender, but those who
know Thayer best would not be sur
prisrd to see him oppose the decision of
the supreme court with Call for the
Nebraska militia to assist him in re-
tanning the Seat.-ChicagO Herald.

of Nebraska upon their patriotic pa
thence and upon the speedy resumption
of Office by the elected governor, James
E. Boyd. He IS a true type of the JET
fersoDian Democrat-liberal. conserva-
tive and firm. No citizen of Nebraska
has beeu more successful than he, for
he has borne triumph with modesty and
reverse with fortitude. With Boies and
Boyd standing shoulder to shoulder.
there is hope for the redemption Of the
West in the next campaign.-Chicago
Herald.
Now that the supreme court of the
United States is about to take this inter-
leper by the nape of the neck and throw
him out of the Office that he has usurped,
it was to have been expected that he
would talk about duty and endeavor to
make an excuse for his misdeeds, but he
will deceive nobody. He is a plaia,
everyday Republican usurper, without
shadow of right, and having no in
spiration save swiniShness and con-
tempt of the people. He thought and
his hackers thought that he could grab
a governorship. and his only regret is
that he failed Chicago Herald.
