WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Assistant Sec
retary Crounse has returned from Ne
braska. Judge Crounse said: ''The out
look in Nebraska, from a Republican
standpoint, is excellent. The Republi-
cans never were more in earnest, and the
campaign is being entered upon with a
determination to win. Two years ago,
owing to two successive failures of crops,
something unprecedented in the State,
and the consequent feeling of discomfort,
Nebraska fell largely into the Alliance
movement. Again, Prohibition and anti
Prohibition entered so largely into the
campaign that it swallowed up, in great
degree, those issues upon which the two
old parties were divided. Nebraska
which has always been so strongly Re-
publican, IS to-day, misrepresented in
Congress, and the Republicans are re-
solved to set the State right The Alli-
ance party is making no new accessions.
On the contrary, many of that party are
returning to the Republican fold, and
some have been participating in the late
Republican caucuseS and conventions.
Again the conditions are changed, instead
of two failures of crops two excellent
ones have taken their place. The pros
pect for full cribs and granaries was
people are happy. The party is being
thoroughly organized, and more and
better campaign work will be done this
year than ever before. You may look
for good report from the Republicans
of the State when the polls shall have
been closed"
