spending money and effort in writing mp
the interests OF Nebraska and setting
our states advantages before the whole
country. Nebraska's prosperity will

which is not an Omaha paper or a Lin
coin paper, but a state paper in its
truest sense. what will be for the
best interests OF Nebraskans:" is the
first question asked by The Journal
when called upon to decide. Every
Nebraskan should do his best to keep
The State Journal before the people and
that best means by sending in One DOL

uary. 1899. After you read it send it to

Nebraska. Send in your dollar to The

Another Outrage.

The following is from the Columbus
Telegram, and shows quite a state Of
affairs. For our part We do not see why
it is that the democracy cannot be al
lowed to look after their own political
household in their own way:
As per call mass convention of the
pops met at the courthouse last Satur-
day afternoon for the purpose Of nomi-
mating q candidate for supervisor in this
district. The attendance of pops was
large, and Bob Lisco, the bridge expert,
was promptly nominated. Democrats
very properly absented themselves from
this meeting They had no business
there.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the pop convention, the democrats
assembled at the same place also for the
supervisor. What did the pops do?
Did they withdraw to give the demo-
Gratis a chance! Not q bit of it. A
large number of them-devoid of all
honor-remained in the court room,
took possession OF the meeting, and
against the protest of some true demo-
Gratis, voted down all propositions for
the nomination of a democrat for the
place, and finally insisted on and carried
the nomination Of Lisco, the pop bridge
sharp. Most of the democrats retired
from the hall in great indignation, and
will decline to vote for the gentleman
of bridges.
The pops put dirt all over the demo-
Gratis at the primaries previous to the
late democratic convention, but last
Saturday they rubbed it in q little too
hard. Will democrats stand this last
Insult: We know some who will not.

Judge kiiian.

"Now comes the most important Office
in the county, that Of county judge.
Even the enemies of the Judge
and he, like all men Of pronounced
character, has a few-have to acknowl-
edge that he has made an excellent
officer; that his records-which are the
most valuable in the county-are models
in the way they are kept. Aside from
all this, Judge Kilian is a good lawyer,
which is no small essential in the Office
he holds. No man, without some legal
training, can make a satisfactory custo-
dian OF the business of the widows and
orphans Of the county"
A pretty good send-off for the demo-
cratic Telegram that was about to take
no part in the campaign.

T.. POlhl.

The Telegram, notwithstanding the
fact that it is not a republican paper,
but is democratic, gives its adherence to
E. Pohl for county clerk, and says:
"Now as to the present county clerk,
MIR. Pohl, No one can deny but what
he has been as efficient and faithful an
officer as ever attended to the business
Of Platte county. He has been prompt
and courteous to all, and the Office at
the present time is in such splendid
order that there could be no improve
ment. For these reasons, We believe, in
a spirit of fairness obscuring the politi-
cal view entirely, Mr.. Pohl is entitled to
q second term, and We further believe
the voters will look at it in the same
way, and give it to him."

III for Bender.

We visited the northern portion Of the
county the early part Of this week and
found that the candidacy Of P. H. Ben
der for sheriff had taken like wildfre.
All classes OF citizens. regardless Of
party, are enthusiastically for him. As
matter OF fact, Mr.. Bender, besides
being most popular gentleman, is
peculiarly fitted for the position Of
sheriff on account of the leather he is
made of. Possessed of dauntless cour-
age-a very necessary essential for such
Office e-he has at the same time large
fund of common sense that will enable
him to act calmly and coolly under the
most trying circumstances. In short.
he is the very ideal Of man to fill the
place, and We have not the slightest
doubt but what he will be elected

Good Endorsement for Supt Williams.
The following, from the Rochester
Qnd) Republican, is one Of those appre-
ciative utterances entirely unsought for,
and yet wholly deserving:
Professor William J. Williams has
Just been nominated, by the republicans,
at Columbus, Nebraska, for the Office of
county superintendent of schools. In
that state the incumbents of that Office
are selected by the voters Of each coun-
1uoCCoN "a OcAhS oc4CSSCu Uy S0o
township trustees, as is the custom in
Indiana. The Professor was for several
years superintendent Of the Rochester
public schools and afterward served two
years each as county superintendent Of
the schools in this county. From Roch-
ester he moved to Franklin, Indiana,
where he accepted a professorship in
Franklin college, which he subsequent
ly resigned to accept the superintend-
ency Of the public schools of Franklin.
There are few educators who equal Prof.
Williams in his adaptability for school
work and he always discharged the du-
ties OF his position in an efficient and
creditable manner. He is thoroughly
educated and his wide experience makes
him especially valuable to the commu-
nifty, which he now sspires to serve.
The Republican joins his many friends
in Fulton county in the hope that he
will be successful in the coming elec-
tion.

"A man who has no equal in Platte

Both of the above expressions are
from the Creston Statesman, and are
thorough samples OF what man can do

ceive his readers. r. B. Thompson, the
editor Of the CreetOn Statesman, ought
to be ashamed Of himself, il he has any

Dudreys removal came also. and soon
after their arrival In town a meeting of a
number OF the leading county officials was
held. II Is evident from this that Conn

Of the governor OF Washington TO inquire
into the methods Of Dudrey and lay the
facts before the executive.
Dudrey has had hard time of 1t from
the day he filed his bond and oath of

and on a few occasions the governor has
answered that he would investigate. On

The matter his attention, but would not be

70 treat his appointees with the greatest
