them by removals, is generally

The promptness with which
the Republican party has carried
out it's pledges in the five months
since the Inauguration of President
Mckinley is in marked contrast
with conditions at this time foul
years ago. Then there were de-
preston and gloom, and pusi-
ness troubles of all sorts. Now
there are activity and cheerfulness,
money seeking investment, good
prices, and general activity. The
depressing conditions of four years
ago were met only with Legislation
which intensified the troubles.
The equally distressing business
conditions which confronted the
Mckinley administration were
promptly met by vigorous Re-
publican measures, causing immed-
late business confidence and activ
ity, which have called money from
its hiding places and set the
wheels of industry in motion.

IHE TRIBUNE faVorS the fenom-

has confidence in Judge Post. Be-
cause it knows him to be an able
and just Judge; an honorable and
upright citizen; a Judge who has
added solidity and dignity to the
to the supreme bench. Hence we
hope that Red Willow county Re-
publicans will at their convention,
next week, name a unanimous del
egation for Judge Post, whose
nomination by acclamation seems
to be assured. And there is no
good or sufficient reason why
Judge Post cannot and will not get
every vote available for any Re-
publican, this fall.
