CAMPAIGN IN NEBRASKA.


deciding a case against some enterprising
pop who looted the state for little pin
money.
Central City Nonpareil At the Reese
meeting at Lincoln three of the
Speakers were new converts to
the republican doctrine They were Rev.
Mailley, Captain Hunter and w. g. Whit
more. The two former were populsts and
the latter democrat, but they have become
tired of the bogus reforms and are ardently
supporting Reese.
Howell journal (demO: We have no
patience with the overzealous editors and
speakers who attack NJ. b. Reese personally.
They are making a grave mistake. We
know the gentleman personally and know
him to be one of natures noblemen. Come
boys, fight fairly. We are going to whip the
republicans out of their boots, but we are
going to do it honestly. We must not resort
to lying.
Holdrege Citizen (rep) The fusion man
ayers are evidently getting anxious about
the situation in this state by the number
OF speakers they are bringing into this
state. They evidently realize that the record
made by the state house officials lacks
whole lot of satisfying the people. The pop
ocrats want to make the campaign on other
issues than the records made by the party
in this state.
Aurora Republican; 1t may be news to
great many that Sias A. Holcomb, now
fusion candidate for supreme Judge, made
the race in this county in 1881 for county
superintendent on the democrat, alliance
and greenback tickets, and it may also be
news to some that he was the only candidate
on his ticket not elected, being beaten by
E. B. Barton about 100 votes Hamilton
county will give him another rub of the
same kind this fall.
Kearney Hub (rep.): As between the fight
ing chaplain OF the First and the retreating
colonel of the Third, the former appears TO
be several laps ahead in putting the issues
properly before the people Of Nebraska. One
resigned, as he says, to come home and
fight the republican party The other
fought until his regiment was mustered out
and then came home to support the repub
lican partys policy, although he had pre-
viously been a populst.
Hastings Tribune Never in the history
of politics in Nebraska has any party nomi-
mated better man for supreme judge than
Hon. NJ B. Reese. Nobody can justly say
aught against him as man, as citizen
as lawyer or as Judge. AS such he is
been named. His election to that high Of
flee will be evidence that the voters ap-
preciate high character, eminent ability and
strict impartialty among members of the
supreme bench.
York Times (rep): 1t is shame for
any party to be led by such men as Edmis-
| ten, Dahlman & Co., but when they cover
| their unblushing rottenness with mask
tofr rofo ci, 1u ri5irplnns is
so brazen, so patent brand that anyone
| who is deceived by it is fit subject for
| the check shark and shell game. Such a
| man never ought to go away from home
| without taking his wife or Oldest boy with
| him to keep him out of such games and
| fake auction stores
North Platte Tribune (rep.): We are
glad, very glad, indeed, to learn that At
| torney General Smyth the great octopus
| killer, is again getting ready to smash the
| trusts which do business in Nebraska.
Smyth for a year or two past has made
| monthly announcements that he intended
to kill off the trusts but so far his efforts
| have consisted only Of war whoops. The
people of the state will have no confidence
in Smyth as an octopus killer until he
begins suit against that great silver trust,
| the Omaha smelter.
! Sidney Telegraph (rep.): Judge Neville re-
minds one very much of the old woman who
had joined dozen or more church denom-
| nations. So with Mr.. Neville, who has
been through all parties and now doesn't
know to which one he belongs. When he
| Joined the democratic party he vowed that
''if the good Lord would forgive him for past
| transgression he would sin no more But
now we find him in the popocratic camp
| When cant ha rplied tn
his word with his Redeemer, much less car
| he be relied upon for correct political
statement. He is blatherskite and a rem
| egade and only a lukewarm friend OF the
mongrel party he represents.
Columbus Journal: AS the days go by it /!
seen on all hands that the republicans mad,
no mistake when they nominated NJ. B
Reese for supreme judge. 1t was an act il
line with the best the republican party ha
ever done in Nebraska or elsewhere. 1t a
once put the opposition en- the defenEe o
their candidate-as a man, as a citizen, as al
official, as judge-and so busy will they bt
kept in defense that they will have no time
for an affirmative campaign. The indica
tions now are that scores of democrats, dis
gusted with the ex-governors record as
professed reformer of acknowledged abuses
and thoroughly convinced of the insncerit
of his political professions, will vote 70
Reese for supreme judge.
Sidney Telegraph: The speeches OF Hon
M p Kinkaid in Sidney and other places Il
this congressional district are causing the fu
sionists bad case CT nightmare The Oman
World-Herald takes up the cudge in New
, ille's behalf and devotes column and
half to the speech Of Judge Knkaid in Sid
ney a report Of which appeared in our col
umns last week. The opposition is rush
ing its star speakers to the rescue OF it
sinking craft Cyclone" Davis, the leather
lunged speaker from Texas, has twelve date
within radius of 100 miles of Sidney. II
, will be accompanied by Judge Neville a
water carrier and they will labor industrl
, ousy along the trail of M. p. Kinkaid an
vainly attempt to stay the enthusiasm.
| Wayne Republican: The voters of Ne
braska have an opportunity Of demonstratin
5 to the world at large that they want onl
the best men to occupy high judicial posi-
t tions. In the person OF Judge Reese, tn
d republican candidate for supreme judge,
= presented one acknowledged as a leader
