IN THE eunrnxAronrAL FIELD.

l read the signs OF the times right, the re-
, publican party OF Nebraska has got n suf-
/ hclency OF internal %quarrels and is locking
for candidates who will unite the party and
none others need apply.
Tecumseh Journal (dem): Judge Hayward
an old settler and one Of the best republicans
in otoe county. is being urged by friends
to announce himself as a candidate for gov
ernor. The party might suffer defeat with q
much inferior man as its candidate.
Schuyler Herald (dem): There seems to be
a scheme on foot TO nominate Cady for con-
gress in order to get him out Of Meiklejohn's
way In the contest for the gOvernorship. We
hardly think our republican friends will b.
able to get Cady to accept their tempting
bait.
Tecumseh Chieftain (rep): Hon T. j.
Majors candidacy for the governorship is
not favorably received by the great majority
OF republican papers throughout the state.
We are forced to this conclusion by a care
full survey Of the editorial columns of our
exchanges.
Aurora Sun rep); They say Majors has
announced himself a candidate for governor
again on the republican ticket. He has more
sand than sense. To fail in a republican land
slide like that OF last year ought to satisfy
any man that he is not wanted as governor
of Nebraska.
Central City Nonpareil: In looking over
tho list of aspirants for the republican nomi-
nation for governor Eugene. Moore does not
want to be lost sight of. He will probably
make a strong fight for the nomination and
tho republicans might do far worse than to
nominate him.
Fullerton News (rep): If the republican
editors Of this state had the nomination Of a
candidate for governor in their hands. George
u. Meiklejohn would be their choice by a
unanimous vote. The editors are next to the
people and know what they want and they
know that the people are for Meiklejohn for
governor.
Yo, Nr.., E.n. ~ ,hn ,,;,t Ia n
smooth, oily way. Tom Majors principal
hackers two years ago are laying big blocks
CT ice on his aspirations. Toms enthusiasm
and the heating influence Of his hickory shirt
and dangerous smile may melt away many
objections prior to the holding Of the re-
publican state convention.
Minden Gazette (rep): The Gazette would
like to suggest to the republicans OF the
Fifth district that as available a man and as
good a man as 1t could rally around and
support is Captain C. e. Adams of SUI
perior. He Is a clean. strong man, and would
not only make an ideal candidate, but when
elected would make an able, popular gov
ernor.
Red Cloud Golden Belt trep.): T.. J. Majors
is unfortunate in his ambitions. Like some
local candidates he made a race with the odds
in his favor and lost, and that should be
enough. We we're for him once, and we still
respect him for various good traits. but can
didacy before the next convention simply
means 9nOJneT disappointment lUT HlH, dHu
we want TO see him keep out.
Wayne Republican: Tom Majors Is said
to have an eye on the nomination for gov
ernor in this state next fall. Don't you do
it. Tom. A lot of us fellows stayed by you
two years ago and we found 1t awful hard
work. You're ringboned, spawned and, from
the sounds that emanated from the stump
the last trip. we believe you've got the
heaves; at any rate you're no good in a race
Of that kind.
Winside Tribune (rep): Without doubt the
republicans in this portion of the great COM
monwealth Of Nebraska would be eminently
pleased with the selection of Hon. Eugene
Moore for the republican nomination for gov
ernor. He would not, perhaps. give the brill
liam administration which Mr.. Meiklejohn
would give, but he would, without doubt,
give what the people Of Nebraska are long
ing for, a thorough-going business-like ad-
ministration.
Broken Bow Beacon (pop): We do not
know what Governor Holccmb's aspirations
arc or whether he has any. 1t may be that
he would like to go to congress, and 1t may
be he would like to be a candidate for presi-
dent. Possibly he would not object to being
rencminated for governor. But while the
Beacon has a very high regard for the gov
ernor, and would be very glad to respect his
wishes, yet in view Of the splendid record
he has made 40 governor, 1t is almost certain
that the delegates to the state convention VIII
insist on his denomination for the exalted
position which he now holds. There is not
a stronger man in the state today than Hol-
comb, and If at the elise Of his term as gov
ernor. he is not called higher, it will be
because the demand is imperative for him
to again be the standard bearer Of pooulism
in Nebraska.
Wymore Arbor State (rep): Tom Majors is
one of the most persistent politicians in Ne
braska. He is said to be quietly working
his friends and the public for a denomination
for governor of Nebraska, and from the way
he bobs up at every important gathering,
and otherwise, it would appear that
he intends the people shall not forget he
is still living. There are a large class
O, professional politicians in Nebraska who
have outlived their usefulness, II they ever
had any. They are in politics for what there
is in 1t, and to them the people are indebted
for some of the most pernicious laws on the
statute books, for the excessive taxes and
of public money. The people of Ne
braska are long suffering and have endured {
the purely professional politician with calm ,
and fortitude, but the time has arrived !
for the very distressing and humiliating &.
spectacle to cease and the retiring. per
manently and for all time. this undesirable /
and Improbable class of citizens ,
Blair Courier (dem): Now that the an !
n%ouncement made so early in the day by I
Congressman Meiklejohn has brought out a
score Of republican candidates fer governor, ,
would 1t not be well for democracy to unite I
and present a solid front to the enemy? the
fight among the many republican aspirahts
will be fierca and bitter ana increase the y
already made between the Majors d,
and Rosewater factions. In view of this 1t l
behooves the tive wings to unite and agree :.
upon Some man to make the race for gov
ernor. The candidate of democracy should g
he a man who has the confidence of his party.
who has always str,ven for the success OF :.
the party, who Is known all ever the state
and who can take republican votes from that |
party in Omaha. That man Is Hon. James
q. Boyd. Add to the qualifications already =

served one term as governor, being elected q
in a republican stronghold, and we can see '
wherein he is the most available man in the
democratic party. T.
