I
| Ord Quiz: The republican state convention
/ was most harmonious and successful meet
! ing OF republicans. The ticket was good and
| the platform just the thing.
Hoidrege Progress: Harmony Is one or tho
elements in political success and the repub-
! licans have an abundance of that and II we
are not much surprised the opposition Will
! be surprised by the time election is over.
Genoa Leader: The republican state con
vention at Lincoln last week was a harmoni-
! Gus, enthusiastic affair and the candidates
! nominated will command the united support
! OF republicans in every section OF the state.
Albion News, The republican state con-
! vention was a very harmonious gathering.
All nominations were made by acClamation.
! No opposition Of consequence was exhibited
! to the denomination OF Judge Post and no
! other name was presented to the convention.
Norfolk News: Populist papers quite gen
! orally throughout the state pronounce
Judge Post an excellent candidate and one
! whom it will be hard to beat Many seem
! to think there is not man in their party
| who will be able to win at the polls against
him.
Wahoo Wasp: The selection of Hon. A. NJ.
! Post for reelection to the supreme court
! by the republican state convention was the
proper thing to do An experience OF six
| years upon the bench has fully demonstrated
his fitness for the position. He has made
| a record for ability and fairness that will
stand the closest scrutiny.
McCook Tribune: The character and abil-
ity Of Judge A, NJ. Post make him a candi-
date that the republicans of the state can
| support with enthusiasm and in a united
way that ought to pull him through the cam
| paign to a decisive victory in November,
The Judge has served in the court of last
resort with conspicuous ability during the
| last six years and is thereby better prepared
for further duty on the supreme bench.
Western Nebraska Observer: The repub-
lican state ticket nominated last Thursday
| is satisfactory one to republicans all over
| the state. Judge Post was renomnated for
| supreme judge, as every one supposed he
| would be on account of the faithful service
he has rendered the state In the past in
that capacity. c. w. Haley of Red Cloud
and John N Dryden of Kearney were nom
| mated for regents Of the University of Nc
| braska.
Stanton Picket: The republican state con-
vention was an enthusiastic and harmonious
| gathering. There was no contention Judge
Post was renominated for supreme judge and
| G. w. Haley for regent, both by acclamation
while John N. Dryden was nominated for
the other regent Last fall with the prestige
| of having a national candidate within the
state the fusionists carried Nebraska. This
| fall there is no national candidate, crops
| have gone republican, prices have gone re-
publican and the state will go republican.
Minden Gazette: The republican state con-
| vention, held at Lincoln last Thursday, was
one of the smoothest and best conventions
held for years. There was more real, gen
uino enthusiasm and earnestness than has
| prevailed since the advent OF populism in
| the state. There were not so many Candi-
dates to nominate as when a full state
| ticket is to be chosen and the attendance
of nearly every delegate, some of whom
travelled a good many miles to be on hand
| would indicate that the republican party
was still doing business at the old stand
Osceola Record The republican state con-
| vention, held at Lincoln last week, was
one of the most harmonious and enthusi-
astic which the party has had for years
| strong, clean ticket was put up and every
man on it will receive the entire support
of the party. The distinguishing feature Of
the gathering was the hopeful. buoyant
feeling of all present. If there was man
| present who had any doubts of the election
of the republican nominees by handsome
majority he did not make it known. II the
spirit manifest by the delegates is any index
to the feeling Of the boys over the state we
| may surely look for an enthusiastic, win
| ming campaign.
| Burt County Herald The republican state
| convention last week harmonious af
fair and did what the most of us expected it
| would do. There was talk OF putting up
| new candidate for supreme judge. The reason
| of it was not because there was anything
| against Judge Post, but to cater to what
| seemed to be popular sentiment in favor
| of getting party politics into new channel,
| with new leaders. But after the assembling
ent incumbent Judge Post was the most
| available candidate and his nomination
made by reclamation. Judge Alfred NJ Post
! is certainly one of the ablest and most i'm
| partial judges that occupied position
on the supreme bench of the state
York Times: One sentiment seemed to in
| spire every delegate to the republican state
! convention ard that assurance of
| victory this fall. Every argument of the op-
| position has been dsproved, every prophcsy
| has proven false, While the promises of the
| republican party are redeemed and the
| suit of republican success has been all that
| was predicted. There is no reason earth
| why the republican party should not succeed
| and every prophesy of that result is com
| pliment to the good judgment of the people
| of the state. The convention was enthusi-
| astic, though deeply in earnest and there
| was a general feeling that every personal
| and selfish interest should be sacrificed for
| party success. Judge Post was renom!nated
| by accIamation and his support cordial
| and sincere.
Panview Gazette: The republican state
convention held at Lincoln last Thursday was
well attended and was one of the most har-
monious ever held. The present chief JUS
| tice. A. M. Post. was renominated by ac-
| clamation. there being opposition Judge
| Post is recognized one of the ablest juriss
! in the state. We know of no reason to doubt
| that his decisions have been fair and impair
! tial and that he is actuated by the highest
| motives. He is in the prime of life, is an
| energetic worker and there Is reason why
| he should not be reelected. The longer
| man remains on the bench the more valua-
BILE service he can give, providing he is
strong and vigorous. Just as the republican
| party retained Judge Maxwell for some
| twenty years upon the bench until he be
| came enfeebed by age, so there is no reason
! for retiring Judge Post for many years to
| come.
