Galloway Courier: The failure of the con-
Vention 70 nominate Mr.. McColl four years
ago resulted In the election OF a democrat.
James %. Boyd. with Jack McColl to lead
the republican state ticket this fall we can
deiy the combined hosts Of democracy and
popultsm.
Columbus journal; The Silver Creek Times
proposes the name Of Henry u. Estabrook Of
Omaha as the republican candidate for gov
ernor. What is the matter with A.. II. Cady ?
lie rs already In the field, is an able man,
has a good record both as citizen and Official
and VIII give our great state a nrst-class
administration.
Clay County Progress: It is reported that
'Smutty Tom Majors has purchased a new
hickory shirt with which to make the guber-
material campaign. This may be his taste or
fashion and he has a right to 1t. Even the
people will not object to the shirt. but they
know that such n~efarious humbugs as
Thomas, for gubernatorial positions, are en-
tirely out Of date
Schuyler Sun: Speaking of candidates for
governor there is no brainier and better man
In the field than Hon. A. E. Cady Of st.
Paul. Mr.. Cady when in the state legis-
lature made a record of which any man
may be proud. He is possessed OF fine
executive ability and would make a first
class governor. Personally he is our choice
Of the men in the field,
Bancroft Blade: II Governor Crounse is
not to be renominated for this fails cam
paign, 1t seems to be the idea of a good
many of Nebraska's citizens that the repub-
lican party cannot do better than to nomi-
nate Judge Melville II. Hopewell of Teka-
nah. The judge is an able man of spotless
record and reputation and would prove a
formidable candidate, and one of the very
best vote getters in eastern Nebraska. He
has never failed when running for Judge of
getting a large number of votes more than
the head of his ticket.
Silver Creek Times: What Is the matter
with taking a man who is, like Estabrook,
thoroughly able and thoroughly competent,
who has rendered the party valuable service
and who has not all his life been a candi-
date for something or other. This thing
of always being obliged to select from among
a lot of self-constituted candidates is get
ting very monotonous and very wearisome.
There are hundreds of good republicans all
over the state who would make very efficient
officers who do not imagine that everything
would go to the demnition bowwows if they
didn't happen to be in office. The Times
Just mentioned Estabrook as an eminent
example. If the Times were to suggest
another name it would be that of George w.
Lininger of Omaha, an able, upright man
and well known throughout the state. He
would make a model governor, and one Of
whom we should all be proud.
Papillion Times (dem.): Can the railroad
republican gang be defeated in Nebraska this
year? 1t is extremely doubtful; in fact,
dangerously doubtful. 1t can't be done by
democrats alone, nor by populists, and hence
we must conclude that the management of
state affairs will continue in the hands of
the same old gang. There is just one way
open for the people to prevent the election
of the railroad ticket, and that is for indie
pendent republicans, independent democrats,
populists and true independents of every
stripe to meet in mass convention and select
some such leader as Judge MaXwe a man
in whose integrity the people all believe. Let
there be no politics in the movement. Ger
tainly there are enough men in Nebraska
free from railroad ownership to elect such
a man to the executive chair. If three
party tickets shall be placed in the field the
will win without effort, no matter
how many yellow dogs" may be on the
ticket. But we confess we are somewhat
Of a dreamer. In our sober moments we
must admit that the railroads have a fee
simple title to the state of Nebraska and
all the hereditaments thereunto belonging,
having acquired possession through the re-
party, which organization appears
ever ready to defend that title against the
claims of all persons whomsoever.
