BITS OF POLITICAL COMMENT.

O'Neill Frontier: Judge Crounse will
grow in popular favor every day. He will
make the pest executive the state has ever
had.
Western Wave: Crounse at the head Of
the repu blican state ticket is an assurance
that the success of the party in this state Is
sure and steadfast, even unto the utterDost.
Wayne Herald: Day by day the repubic
ranks closing up and day by day the
majority for Judge Lorenzo Crounse for gov
ernor is growing. The people do not want
demagogue like Van Wyck.
Tecumseh Chlefain: From every part of
the state comes the cheering assurance that
Judge Crounse is heartily endorsed by every
faction of the repu blican party. Even demo-
cratic papers are complimenting his ability
and integrity His nomination for governor
is certainly strong one and 1t is not at all
probable that no will be defeated.
Auburn Granger GDd): In making Van
Wyck the nominee for governor the indepen-
dents have done just what they have loudly
condemned repu blicans for doing, to wit:
nominated Ii man simply because OF his ability
20 secure votes by means either honorable or
dishonorable, and ii they wake VI on the morn
ing of November to lind that Mr.. Crounse
or someone elso has been elected they may
lay to their souls the fiattering unction that
in blind effort for party success they for
got that they were bent on reform
Albion News A years history OF the in
dependent party in this state furnishes at
least the proof that one OF its most pro
noupced characteristics rs vacillation. A
year ago when il met in state cOnveRkon at
Hastings, Burrows was its boss and Powers
its idol while Van Wyck was hooted down
several times before being allowed TO speak
A few days ago tho party again met in state
convention in kearney. 1t was the same
party, composed of the same men who were
at Hastings, yet witness the change At
Kearney no one was so poor as TO do Burrow s
honor; Van Wyck was given absolute con-
| troll, while Powers was actually the recipient
| of stale egg, thrown by the hand Of one 'of
| the people, by the peonle and FOR the people" "
Lincoln News: The voice OF the state
press was never so hearty in endorsing the
| repu ublicau ticket as IL Is now in favor OF the
| ticket nominated in this city couple of
weeks ago. The republican press. as well as
| all individual publicans, have accepted the
! result with unqualified satisfaction, and this
| means great deal, for there are factions
| among newspapers as we'll as among indi-
| yiduals, aud it has been great many years
| since the various elements have been 40 com
| pletely harmonized as now. The republican
! state ticket conceived In a lofty regard for
| the good of the party and the people, is-un-
| questionably the best ticket that has been
| presented Tor the suffrage OF the people OF
| Nebraska, and ~ will be triumphantly
| elected.
Fairmont Signal: We will vote this fall
| on the proposed amendment TO the constltu-
| tion providing for a board OF three railroad
| commissioners, to be elected by the people
| OF the state at large Should the amend
ment carry, of which there Is little and
! should be no doubt, the first board will be
| elected IN November, 1893. Meantime the
governor shall appoint three commlssi sioners
| naying the required qualifications to hold
until their SUCCESSORS are elected and quail
| fed No person can hold the office Of rail
road commissioner who is In the employ Of
! any common carrier. or tho owner OF any
