CITIZENS, CAUCUS.

A Good Strong Ticket Put in the Field to
Win.
Wednesday evening, in answer to a
call, there was held citizens city con-
vention in the opera house. Proceed
ing this the several wards got together
and nominated ward aldermen and
then reconvened in the city conven-
ton.
DR.. F. H Smith, the present mayor,
was unanimously renominated to be
the first mayor of Goodland as second
class city. In view of his popular and
successful administration of the city
affairs in the past, there is no doubt
but what he will be elected by big
majority.
F. A. Albee was chosen for the office
of police judge. His ability and fitness
for this Office, his integrity and popu-
larity is too well known in this city to
call for any encomiums from the press.
For city treasurer M. B. Tomblin was
unanimously chosen, while for school
treasurer the choice of the assembly
was G.. M. Millisack. The records of
these two gentlemen are we'll and fav-
orably known and the municipal funds
could not find safer hands.
G. L. Calvert was the nominee for
justice of the peace. Lee has had lots
of practice in this line and is well fit
ted for this position.
Joe Mcdowell was nominated for
constable, and will make a good and
efficient officer.
The First ward sent the following
nominations: Aldermen, George Hess
and j. J. Warriner School directors,
o. D. Dickey and j. G. Bourne.
Second ward:-Aldermen, G. B. Jewell
and James Wymore. School directors,
o. 2. ListOn and A B. Montgomery.
Third Ward-:Aldermen, A. Wittel-
shofer and w. E. Dustin. School direc-
tors, James Boyle and w. II. Proctor.
The ticket from top to bottom is
good one and should. and probably will
win The old councilmen have been
very economical and prudent in dir
Getting the city government and it is
due them that they should receive the
support of all as reminder that their
services were appreciated. Never in
the city's history has the streets and
sidewalks been in better shape, the
water works more self sustaining than
the past year All this was due to the
efforts and labor of the outgoing coun-
Gil. Honor them by reelection.

THE FATHERHooD OF GOD.

Whence came the glorious universe;
And the revolving world?
The glowing sun with planetary train;
The stellar seas whose waves of light
Dash nightly on the shore of vision?
'tWhence came they?" asks the sapient sage
And the geologist,
Who reads the record of the eternal hills,
Writ in the finty rock;
Engraved in the mighty tome of ages.
evidence came they?" asks the savage son
OF nature, untutored else;
AS standing at the opening of the wood
He lifty his eyes toward heaven
To gaze transported toward the starlit sky.
whence came they?' asks the child at even,
Kneeling at mothers knee;
Upward glance reveals cloud-cuTtained heaven
And the full moon and stars
Assaults the windows of the infant soul.
The Lord my child made heaven and earth ;"
"Now lay me down
To sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep"
The prayer is said, the question answered
Innocence sleeps sweetly in the arms of Love.
"Whence came they7" ask in faith, and know;
And rest thy weary soul.
Born in the mind of the eternal God,
Pregnant with mighty loving thought;
A sea of chaos first, and then of love.
Love planned the mighty universe
And laid the sleeping infant
Warm on the bosom of maternal love-
The guardian sire the while looks smiling on;
Fit emblem of the fatherhood of God.
The ancients deemed the world was fl at
And rested firmly on
Some dubious subterranean, crude and base.
But dost thou know? The mighty frabic of
The ne, the state, the nation and the world
Was built on Love

Edison Echoes.

Now it came to pass in those days
that Rufus, whose surname is Kent,
arose betimeS in the morning as was
his wont, and goeth out to feed his
stock.
And behold. there was a strange mule
in his stable that Rufus did not wot of,
and as he provided him with proven
der, he communed with himself saying,
"Peradventure this is Brother Pitt
mans animule that he hath left here
while he goeth on over to Edison. How
belt though. he looketh not like the
breed of Brother Pittman's stock"
And it came to pass, after Rufus had
finished had finished his breakfast, he
lifted up his eyes and beheld young
man on a gray horse coming toward
him. Then Rufus communed with him
self again saying, behold now, he
rideth like Lowell, whose surname is
Bachelor and when he drew near he
saw that it was so.
Then Lowell lifted up his voice and
said, ''Hast thou seen my fathers ami
mule hereabouts?"
And Rufus answered and said unto
him, ''Verily, there is an animuIe in my
stable, peradventure it may be thine"
Then Rufus leadeth him to the stable
and openeth the door. Now it came to
pass, as soon as Lowell beheld the ami
mule he lifted up his voice and wept,
and ran swiftly, and threw his arms
around the animule's neck and embra-
ced him with great joy saying, Rejoice,
oh. my soul, for the lost is foundP
Then Rufus answered and said, SIS
that thy animule?"
And Lowell answered and said, 'Yea
verify, thou hast said it, he is my faith
er's haw mule Jack"
Then Rufus said unto him, "How
cometh the animule here?"
And Lowell answered and said unto
him, ''Verily I know not. Peradven-
ture, some emery galoot hath made a
a finger requisition of him."
Then Rufus anger was k1ndIed
against Lowell and lifting up his voice
he said, "BeIievest thou this?" But
Lowell perceiving the anger of Rufus
held his peace, and mounting his ara
bian steed, he departed, leading the
animule.
And it came to pass as Rufus beheld
Lowell depart, that his monetary an
ger turneth to merriment and lifting
up his voice he sang a bar of that old
familiar song:
oh yoh here's you. mule
Now it came to pass after these
things that few of the farmers living
in the regins round about Edison.
were gathered together in the post
office. And it came to pass that there
was deep silence for the space Of a
minute, when some one opened his
mouth saying, who purloined the
Jerusalem pony?
Then spake another and said, esIyl
bet the cigars it was the school boardl''
Then there WAS a confusion of
tongues, such as hath not been heard
since the building of the tower of
Babel, but in the midst thereof,
the cigars were handed around, and
the confusion subsidized IN a cloud OF
smoke. but no man knoweth who paid
the bet, even unto this day.

HON. THOMAS J. MAJORS.
About the Republican Candidate
for Governor of Nebraska.

Something About the Republican Candidate
for Governorsof Nebraska.
Hon. Thomas J. Majors, the Republican can
didate for Governor ofFNebraska. is an inter
esting figure in Nebraskspolitcs. Like Jerry
Rusk, of Wisconsin, q plain-mannered man, q
thrifty farmer. public spirited and kind Of
heart. with q record OF Eve years of gallant
service as officer in the war Of the rebellion,
with 90 years of experience in public life as
Congressman, Legislator Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor; . forceful and magnetic campaigner
for years over the entire State.
Knowing personally nearly every voter, he
occupies position of prominence and advan-
tage peculiar to himself. No other man in
Nebraska knows personally 80 many of our
people, and no other man can go out among
the common voters and call to his aid so many
personal friends and so many loyal followers.
Gov. Majors resides at Peru, Neb., where be
has lived for many years, being almost one OF
the first settlers. He is a married man and
has an interesting family OF bright children,
whom he almost worships.
At the age of "a, when Lincoln issued his
call for volunteers, he was one of the first to
respond. and was mustered in as First Lieuten-
ant, Co. G, 1st Neb. Promoted Captain Jan. D.
1862; commissioned Major May l, 1864, and
discharged from the service July l, 1866. His
regiment was commanded by that gallant Colo
mel, Gen. John NJ. Thayer
An incident is related Of him while in the
service that is peculiarly characteristic OF the
man. During the time his regiment was sery-
ing in the South, he being in command OF q
battalion, which was out scout his COM
mand was surrounded by an overwhelming
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1894-10-11

force of rebels and he was summoned to sur
render When this demand was made upon
him he replied:
"Give Gen. Forest my compliments. and tell
him that part Of my military education was
entirely neglected. never learned how to
surrender"
And he cut his way through and out of the
rebel lines.
Gov. Majors has always proved himself the
true and loyal friend of the boys that wore the
blue At the close of the war he went out in
the western part of Nebraska and there helped
to protect the Western frontier, and subse-
auently returned TO Peru, where he has re-
sided ever since.
In 1873 lie was elected Contingent Congress-
man from Nebraska andIsent to Washington to
demand that Congress should give Nebraska
representation. He went there and made an
earnest effort, but was unsuccessful. The peo-
pie were satisfied with his efforts and returned
him for a second term. Then they demanded
that he should 90 back the third time and in
the meantime elected him to fill the unex PRED
term of Hon. Frank WEIGH in the 45th Con-
gress.
Comrade Majors was again elected as Con-
tngent Congressman for the fourth time, but
never took his seat. He was elected member
of the Territorial GouHcil of Nebraska, and
served in the 18th aad Goth sessions. He was
again elected State Senator and served in the
secoud third, fourth. and fifth sessions. He
was elected and served member Of the
Lower House in the 21st session, and elected
Lieutenant Governor i'll 1891, and reelected
in 1893 and is the present incumbent.
Gov. Majors is of the people and for
the people; he has always been considered as a
man having the courage of his convictions,
which, coupled with bis ability as a paria-
mentaran and good knowledge of statesman
ship, especially fits him for any office within
the gift Of the people.
