NEBRASKA.
4 OMAHA. Nov. 3.-The political cam
paign in Nebraska this fall has been
tame, Notwithstanding there are five
tickets IN the field and some elements
which would ordinarily provoke spirit
ed contest. The fact that only a justice
of the supreme court and two regents of
the university are to be elected has con-
tributed to the quiet situxtiop. The most
interesting feature of the contest is pro-
voked by the divided Democracy. The
free silver wing OF the party has done
some quiet work in the campaign, claim
ing that a vote for the al administration
candidate is a vote against the white
metal. The situation is further compli-
Gated by the decision of the state supreme
court, placing both tickets on the ballots
designated as Democrats. The organiza-
ton of the adm nistration Democrats is
that this has been perfected not merely
for this campaign but as preliminary to
senuing an administration delegation to
the nsxt national convention. The candi-
dates of the various parties are:
For Supreme Court Justice-Adminis-
tration Democrat, Timothy j. Mahoney;
Independent, Samuel Maxwell; Repub-
iican, i. L. Norval; Silver De ocrat,

The Republicans fought the campaign
on national issues, the Democrats and
prohibtonists ,on prohibition, while sill
yer was the issue with the Peoples party.
National issues predominated, however,
because the legislature to be elected will
choose United States senator 10 succeed
Senator Allison. The fact of Senator
Allison's candidacy for the presidential
nomination was also a factor in the cam
paign and more than anything else gave
it national character. On legislative
tickets throughout the state prohibition
was the main issue.
The prominent questions debated in
the campaign were those leading to the
currency, traiff, legislation of the last
congress, administration of Presid ent
Cleveland. as repsetcs his domestic and
foreign policy, and the large increase of
the public debt to pay current expenses.
There was more or less debate on local
state questions but the absorbing topics
were national in their character.
