which win be by far the grentest in
the history of Nebraska. On account
of the widespread tales of restitution
In Nebraska which have been known all
over the land IL seemed fitting that a
public event should be the medium to
notify the country OF the great con-
frast between this and last year. for
there il not now even one county OF
the state in which the brightest pros

especially favored.
The second object Of the banquet
was 70 express the sentiments of the
business men Of Omaha In admiration
OF the administrative course and acts
of Gov Silas A. IIolcomb. This fact is
of peculiar significance on account of
the fact that last year the. candidacy
OF Judge Holcomb wan opposed by the
leading business men OF Omaha for the
reason that IL WAS feared that his cleo
tion as populist would be detrimental
20 the interests OF the state. This
banquet was to show the governor that
his public acts had been such as

the business men OF this city, and that
the credit OF the state has not In any
