beauty or breeding he would not have

exertiol could be troublesome.
When the brown hat and the broad
shoulders had been swallowed up in the

BOYD and His Jubilee
Chicago Herald.


The demoustratIon OF the iubilsnt Ne
brasks democrscts at Lincoln on Monday
was popular ratification of the United
States suprt me courts decision in the
Boyd-Thayer contest. Governor Boyd's
speech on the occasion, which was in the
nature of second inaugural, was con
sentative, iudicieus and patriotic. II
have secured, he said, my rights as a
citizen and the people their choice as an
executive" Those intimately scQusinted
with his character know that the COVER
nor was entirely sincere in declaring: Il
want no prouder distinction than to be
known as citizen of the foremost re,
public in the world. Thanks to the su-
preme courts ruling, his citizenship is
now securely established.
Governor Boyd makes no mistake in be-
lieving that the incidents attendant upon
the controversy over the governorship aud
its final result will have fsrreaching eff
feet upon Nebraska politics, and that such
effect will be beneficial to the cause Of de-
mocracy The people who constitute q
court of appeal in political grievances
have yet 10 pass upsn Thayer and his rev.
oiutiontry conduct. The people can be
trusted in this case. The issue can best
be presented to them by the denomination
of Boyd as the democratic candidate fol
governor. This will probably occur and
his reelection will almost surely follow
Having been wrongfully kept out OF Of
fee during most of his first term, it is 6
matter of simple justice TO give him q
second term.
