Confidence Waning.

As business improves and the new
tariff indicates itself, and it is found
that the democrats are not going to
wreck their chances in 1896 by going
in for free coinage, the shrewder re-
publicans begin to see that their party
is not as sure to carry the country with
a sweep next year as they supposed
six months ago. Eastern politicians
have generally taken it for granted
that Nebraska was a state upon which
they could surely count, but the repub-
lican press of Nebraska does not take
this view. The Omaha Bee, noticing
an absurd claim by an enthusiast that
the state would give fifty thousand
majority to the national repu blican
ticket in 1896, no matter what candi-
date is nominated or what platform is
adopted. declares that it is idle for re-
publicans TO talk about carrying Ne
braska by even ten thousand majority.
The Bee pronounces it "a debata bic
state" and says that success will de-
pend upon the character of the ma
tional and state nominees and plat
forms. AS the time for the presiden-
tial election approaches it is proba BILE
that other states than Nebraska which
are now set down by many as sure re-
publican will be found to be debatable-
