tons resulted in the defeat of the former
sons were elected delegates to attend the
cOuntV convention. A Ninklpr NJ w Car-
mody, w. G. Andrews, Horace Marshall,

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 31.-(Spe-
cial)-Much satisfaction is expressed on all
sides at the legislative ticket nominated by
0toe county republicans at Syracuse last
Wednesday. ]. II. Arends, the nominee for
senator, has been engaged in the general
store business in Syracuse for many years.
His record as a business man and citizen is
good. OF the candidates for the lower
house little need be said. Pat Roddy,
farmer, has been a member Of the last two
legislatures and made a record as broad as
the state for good, sound judgment and
honest effort in behalf of the people. G.. H.
Harris is a miller at Unadilla. He is an ex-
cellent business man and citizen, and is
qualified In every way for Representatives.
The prospects were never better for a solid
republican Legislative delegation from Otoe
county.
The demopop ticket is weak. Vint
Straub, who was float representative from
Otoe and Cass counties in the last legisla-
ture, had announced himself a candidate for
denomination, but after a trip over the dis
trict he became alarmed at the apathy of
some of his friends of two years ago and
begged the convention to give him the nomi-
nation for senator from the Otoe county
district, realizing that he stood no chance
of carrying the two counties.
OF the demopop candidates for represent
atives Mckinley is a young farmer, I'M
known outside of his own precinct. Reed
is a man of no settled occupation. He and
b. s. Littleield conducted the Progress, the
populist paper that was started here in
1895, but which went to the wall in a short
time for lack of patronage. Suits against
the stockholders, who are a number of
wealthy p~opulist farmers of the county, are
now pending to recover some of the losses
Of this newspaper venture.
BEATRICG ), Neb., July 31.-(Special -
The holding of republican primaries in Be
atrice yesterday was attended with less
friction than has been experienced in Sc
lecting convention delegates here for years.
There was no lack of candidates., but the
voters appear to have resolved to agree
from the start of the campaign. Hon. Sam
uel Rinaker, candidate for county attorney,
and f. N. Prout, candidate for state SEN
ator, both of whom live in the Second ward,
lent their influence for the one ticket put
out. In neither of the other five wards
was there any contest and it is understood
that Rinaker and Prout will get the solid
support of the entire city delegation and
it is believed now that they will be nom
mated by reclamation. Mayor Bourne ac-
companies the delegation from the Fourth
ward and will undoubtedly be given the
congressional delegation. Ex-senator George
Murphy is talked of as the candidate from
this county for lieutenant governor. He
has not made a canvass for the delegation,
but from present indications Will be en-
dorsed for the position. Regarding the
legislative ticket there is little talk. The
the present members of the lower house.
Messrs. Casebeer, Jones and Chlttenlen.
AS it looks at present the convention Oh
Tuesday will be n short affair.
The fusion forces are very much cha
grined over their failure to induce the once
called free silver republicans TO call a
county convention. w. ID. Cox and ]. n.
Richards, who were prominently identified
as leaders of this wing of the fusionlsts
two years ago, when requested this year
TO call a convention fatty refused to do
so and emphatically stated that they were
with the administration Their former fol-
lowers in the county Immediately said
amen and when the roll of counties is called
in state, congressional and float representa-
tive conventions of the free silver repub-
leans there will be nobody there to re-
spond to the call of Gage county.
WEEPING WATER, Neb., July 3l.-(Spe-
cial)-The Cass county republican conven-
ton convened in this city yesterday. There
were some close contests. but good feeling
prevailed throughout and the ticket will
poll the fun strength of the party, Captain
Wiles presided, Allen Beeson, Jesse l.. Root
and A. j Graves, all of Plattsmouth, were
candidates for county attorney. On the
third ballot Root was nominated. For the
legislature, T.. T, Young and e. NJ. Pollard
we're renominated by reclamation. For
state senator. w. II. Newell of Plattsmouth
was nominated by reclamation. The dele
