setting in, not 80 much against Mckinley
as for Manderspn. II cannot trnthfuly bo
said that Mandersons candidacy Is generally
received with enthusiasm. and this is ac-
counted for by his friends on the theory
that 1t Is sudden and that the rank and file
of the party throughout the state are not
yet fully aroused to the fact that his chances
for the nomination are actually good.
MANDERSON'S PERSONAL CANDIDACY.
General Mahderson has always been con-
sidered as a very conservative man. II is
this characteristic that makes him now so
prominent in the conservative east. 1t would
be strange II man who had gained the
respect and confidence OF the entire nation
for his conservative character and ccol judg-
ment should not also be conservative among
his own home people and should have failed
somewhat to arouse within his own state
that ardent personal popularity which belongs
more particularly to that class Of politicians
who cultivate personal popularity and win
popular applause rather than public con-
fidence.
II is prophesed by some that this sudden
sharp turn caused by the candidacy of Cen
eral Henderson will result in a square, open
battle between the Thurston and Henderson
forces. BY others IL Is prophes ed that Cen
eral Mandersons right to a delegation from
his own state will be conceded, and not only
conceded as is a usual custom in politics in
all states, but that when fairly understood
will arouse general enthusiasm throughout
the state, regardless of party lines 1t was
noticeable at the late Mckinley rally here
that but few OF the prominent party workers
from over the state were in attendance, al
though an effort had been made to make the
meeting impressive in this respect. Within
the last two days the Mckinley organizers
seem TO realize that the change in the stua-
tion will make 1t very awkward for them
to continue the organization of Mckinley
clubs, as they will be in the attitude of direct
opposition to home candidate the history
of politics showing that such a course has
generally In the end proved a failure wher-
ever It has been tried
Home ties and state pride are always pow
erful factors in politics. General Manderson's
candidacy appeals not only to the state pride
and the future business prospects Of Me-
braska people, but his splendid career as sem |
ator and his record as soldier will make |
1t very awkward for any Nebraska politician |
to oppose his candidacy In the meantime the |
party as whole will demand Of General |
Manderson that there be no effort. neither |
open or disguised, to take the Nebraska dele |
cation away from Mckinley to any other can |
idate except himself. The watchword will |
be-. Nebraska first and Ohio afterward. A |
host Of lightweight politicians in all parts Of
the state are struggling for places on the
st. Louis delegation. but the word has gone
)ut that this delegation must be sixteen Of
the ablest and best men in the state, and
hat their characters will be a guarantee of
good faith and wise action.

Agriculture for the exclusion of foreign

TACT that Canadian steer cattle have proved

The Field publishes an article on the i'm

Is suggested that the animals be examined on
their arrival here by official veterinary sur
