JOY OVER THE OMAHA ELECTION


every man or the republican ticket Iurrah
for Omaha and The Bee.
Central City Democrat. We intended tc
have written an editorial on the Omaha
election. but have concluded not to do so,
! The blamed old town went republican.
Lincoln Cali repJ The republicans Of
omaha should appreciate The Bee in its
Hsht Tor republican supremacy under the
popnlst charter, The Bee won the victory.
Friend Telegraph (rep): Moorcs was elected
mayor OF Omaha despite the demo-pOp-iree
silver combine against him As is usual the
combine promised great chunks OF reform,
but promises coming from this source are like
idle tales that are told aud the people have
10 faith in them.
Nork Times rep): Again the popocratic
combination has been rebuked. The city OF
Omaha, that gave them handsome majority
lsst fall, has gone republican this spring.
| They have sowed the wind with recIJlcss
pf2iigality, and are reapng the whirlwinl
Next fail they win reap a cyclone.
Sidney Telegraph rep): The world-Her-
alds Howell in the Omaha mayoralty fight
does not seem to have been OF much avail,
Tor the battle was won by Frank Moores re
publican The entire republican city ticket,
with the exception of two councilman, was
| elected. Tho Bee made a gallant fight, OF
which it feels justly proud.
Tilden Citizen (rep): To The Bee belong
a liberal share of credit for assisting to
bring about the election of a republican
mayor and council for Omaha. Its columns
for several days tecmed with evidence
against the gamblers candidates which
must have been an important factor In bring
| ing about this satisfactory result.
Schuyler Herald rep): Why is it and
what excuse can the popocrats make for
Omaha going republican, situated as ii is in
the heart of the great populist stamping
ground of the west? Some OF the eastern
cities may have elected democratic mayors,
but 1t does seem though Nebraska is
repudiating the popocratic regime of the
last few years
Verdon Vidette (rep): The fusion legis-
| lature thought when ii passed the new
charter bill for Omaha last winter that II
had things fixed so 1t would rule that city
| for the next three years sure. but il was
sadly disappointed. At the city election last
| Tuesday the entire republican ticket was
| elected, with the exception Of two council
| men.
Red Cloud Argus Gep): The republicans
| carried Omaha at Tuesdays election. The
governor should Immediately call an extra
session of the legislature TO recount the vote.
| That the republicans should so in and scoop
the entire platter after the populists had SC
carefully prepared the feast with their pet
| special charter is an outrage that should not
| go unrebuked.
Beaver City Tribune (rep) Although the
republican candidate for mayor of Omaha
| had the combined forces of the democrats,
free silver republicans, popuists, and the
! gamblers arrayed against him, he was
| elected Tuesday by a small majority. 1t
was a desperate fight, and the republicans
hardly dared hope to win, and the victory
| is therefore all the sweeter and more
| glorious.
Kearney Sun (rep): The election of
| Moores as mayor OF Omaha and the entire city
| ticket is quite victory for the republicans
| and may be taken as an indication of the sen
! timpDt rryStalliZiDg I'M all of the state
| that Nebraska has had quite enough of pop
| ulist supremacy. Populism thoroughly tried
| has been populism rejected by the people
| who tried it, not only i'll Nebraska but in
every state.
Fremont Tribune (rep): The election in
| Omaha went republican from the top to the
bottom of the ticket, with the exception of
two aldermen out of the nine. The contest
for mayor was a neck k-and-neck race, Moores,
| republican, winning by little more than
200. The republicans out handsomely
against the combination of all political isms
under the 1t was decisive victory
and shows the republicans are in good fight
ing trim.
Wahoo Wasp (rep): BY the election of
the republican ticket in Omaha and Lincoln
to the late populist legislature. In its
zeal to further the cause of the populist
politicians a new charter bill was passed
that the better element of those cities did
not want ana tne IdcL InaJ pOtH CitleS
elected republican officials shows that the
people did not approve of the conduct of
that outfit
Norfolk Journal (rep): In the face OF the
| combined opposition of the democrats, pOpu
lists and free silver republicans, the repub-
licans of Omaha a notable victory on
Tuesday. Colonel Frauk Z. Moores was
elected mayor by 200 majority and the bal
ance of the republican ticket, except two
councimen went in by about the same vote.
The fusionists thought the new charter they
had forced on the people of Omaha just
plugged the city to about their size, but
they will have to wait few years.
Niobrara Tribune (rep): The popocratic
hosts of Omaha, headed by the World Herald,
turned on their searchlight and the result
was sweeping republican victory. beaded
by the gallant Frank Il. Moores. The pop
ocrats and fusionists saved two councilmen
out of nine, and of them was
Lobeck. who sneaked in with mar
row margin of votes. Yes, the 'searchlight'
was turned and the gallant republican
organization headed by the veterans and
The Bee magnificent victory. Hail to
Omaha She has not been Chicagoized!
Battle Creek Republican: The people
of Omaha turned down the Howell gang
Tuesday and did it right Moores, the re-
publican candidate for mayor was elected
by good majority, while all the repub
lican councilmen excepting two which the
fusionists got were victorious. The election
was tho most hotly contested of any that has
been held in that city for number of years,
and the republicans have reason to rejoice
over their victory, they won against the
combined free silver forces known as the
populiSts democrats and free silver repub-
licans.
Sterling Eagle (rep): On Tuesday an
election was held at Omaha under the new
charter passed by the last legislature bit
ter fight waged by the supporters OF the
two tickets. The entire republican ticket,
headed by Colonel Frank E. Moores for
mayor, was elected with possibly two excep-
tions. The republican ticket was especially
championed by The Omaha Bee, while the
World Herald supported the fusionist ticket
Just as hard as 1t knew how. The victory
is a great one for The bee, considering the
circumstances.
Blair Pilot (rep) The election of Frank
II. Moores to the office of mayor OF Omaha
Is a signal victory for the party whose stand
ard bearer he was. Howell was backed up by
every element in Omaha except the out-and
out republicans, which included democrats,
peoples Independent, silver republicans, gam
blers thugs, buns and by petition. In the
face of all these odds MoOres has won out
with majority as large in proportion to the
vote cast as that given the republican can
di late for governor last fall. The victory in
Omaha Is one that gives relief and Joy to
the taxpayers and business men.
Beatrice Democrat (dem): The repub-
licans carried the municipal election in
Omaha on Tuesday and elected Frank E.
