The nominee is but 36 years old; was
born at Salem, ILL.,; is a lawyer, and
never held an Office until he was elected
to Congress from the First Nebraska
district in 1890. He received 1886
votes. The Republican nominee got
1868 and the Populist 1906. He was
reelected after hard fight as a Demo
crat in 1892. In 1894 he became q can
didste for Senator, but the Legislature
elected was Republican and john NJ.
Thurston was chosen. He has since
been editor-in-chief Of the Omaha
World Herald, but has devoted large
portion Of his time to silver missionary
work.
