bounding over the state in a lively fashion
during the past few weeks and from the
favorable comments among the exchanges,

county friends of Captain r. z. High will
be pleased to learn that he is being pushed

sioner of public lands and buildings, with

nection with the republican nomination for
lieutenant governor of Nebraska. The Hub
knows MIR. Murphy pretty well and can
speak for his good abilities, his activity as

position. MIR. Murphy would make an ex-
cellent campaign and do credit to the po-
sition.
Minden Gazette Crep) There is no such
thing as free-slver republican. but there
are such things as sore headed republicans
and when you find a fellow who claims
that he is a free-silver republican, If you
will scratch him little you will soon learn
that he has sore spot some place, not on
account of the silver question, but because
he has been disappointed by his party not
giving him all the official pie he wanted
1t is pie they are after.

Bloomington Echo (rep): Among tn
republicans of this state who have bee
mentioned for positions upon the state ticke
this fall that the Echo can point to wit
pride and hearty approval, is that of II. Il
Wilson of Lincoln, for attorney general. II

North Platte Tribune (rep): George A
Murphy, of Beatrice, has consented to alo
his name to come before the republica
state convention as a candidate for lieu
tenant governor In the last legislature NJ
Murphy represented his district in the ser

nomination as secretary of state Mr.. Dura
is in every way qualified for this position

He has been a resident of Nebraska fC
nearly twenty-five years and has twice az
ceptably filled the Office of county treasur,
and ably represented the county as sta
senator. In 1884 he was one of the repul

e Seward Reporter (rep): The name
Henry II. Wilson of Lincoln is being u.s.
{ | as a candidate for the republican nomin
tion for attorney general and the sugge
tion meets with very general favor. NJ
Wilson is recognized as a lawyer of frs
class ability and a gentleman of the hig
. est standing, He has never been an offic
seeker, nor a politician in the offens
y sense of that word. He has an extend
acquaintance all over the state and
II large number of warm friends who admi
him for the strength of character he h
E always manifested. The Reporter believ
e that his name would add strength to [
republican ticket and that his nominati
s would be in line with that policy whi
the real friends of the party are dete
mined to pursue. With Hayward at t
head of the ticket and the other plac
- filled by such men as Wilson, we belle
ia that the republican party could regain
. supremacy in Nebraska,
