WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN FOLD.
Kearney Sun; Moses p. Klnkaid is max
ing a splendid canvass in his congressional
race The votee are coming his way and
he keeps right on saving wood
Oakland Republican: Let him who be-
lievcs that the supreme court should not
be politically partisan honestly compare
the past actions. official and otherwise, OF
tho candidates Holcomb and Reese, and
then decide to vote for the one who Will
make the best supreme Judge.
Hastings Tribune: Judge Reese is one Of
the ables; lawyers in Nebraska and his past
record Is clear. II the good people of this
great state are desirous Of honoring a man
OF whom they can feel proud then NJ. B.
Reese should receive their hearty support
and be elected to the supreme bench.
Lyons Sun: No nomination for state
office in recent years has stirred UP the
enthusiasm among republicans in this county
that the nomination OF NJ. b Reese for
supreme judge has. Republicans are united
and enthusiastic in his support recognizing
his sterling character and his unquestionab.e
ability as jurist.

aided in the 90 campaign is camping right

Holdrege Citizen: The republican party
enters the campaign This fall with nothing to
apologize for, and appeals to the voters to
support a man at the head of their ticket
who has had long and honorable career
in this state and his name Is above reproach
The other names on the republican ticket
are men who are thoroughly qualified for
the places they have been selected for. The
republican party has sometimes made mis-
takes in selecting its candidates but this
time it seems to us that the party in its
nominating conventions has been especially
careful and fortunate in selecting candidates
that would appeal to the confidence of the
people.
Stanton Picket: The people of Nebraska
have the utmost confidence in the ability
and integrity of Judge NJ B. Reese Twelve
ytars ago he was elected to the supreme
bench and retired at the end of six years
with record as spotless as that OF any man
in the state. Up to the present no man has
been found to speak word against him as
a jurist or as a man. Since his retirement
fTCm the bench he has been at the head of
the Nebraska Law school, and to his ability
is largely due the excellent standing of that
institution. His nomination was unsolicited
and unexpected. 1t was by acclamation, and
was extended with such enthusiasm as shows
his high standing with the people. The
party is entirely united in his support and
confidently expects that he will be elected.
McCook Tribune: The republicans OF
Nebraska are especially fortunate in their
nomination for judge of the supreme court.
Judge NJ. B. Reese is splendidly equipped to
serve the people well and honestly in that
position. He did not seek the place-in fact,
it is well known that Judge Reese is more
of jurist and perhaps less of a politician
than his opponent on the fusion ticket But
the people of Nebraska will make the dis
tnction vital at the coming election by ele-
waiting to the bench the jurist-Judge Reese.
This nomination will rally to the republican
nominee many republicans who have never
been satisfied with the manner of his retire
ment some years since. Honest. conserya-
tive affable and able, Judge Reese will call
to his support following from all parties
which will make his election certain.
Wahoo Wasp: The action of the re-
publican convention at Omaha last week in
nominating Judge NJ. B. Reese for supreme
Judge was received with genuine satisfac-
ticu by the people throughout the state and
more especially by his old friends IN
| Saunders county, where he lived many years
and where he is still frequent visitor. The
high character and eminent fitness of Judge
Reese, coupled with his extensive and favor
able acquaintance throughout the state.
| makes his nomination the strongest Gne thai
could possibly have been made. When the
| nomination of Judge Reese was made known
| in this city 1t was pronounced an excellent
| one by everybody, regardless OF politics, anC
| it was generally predicted that majority
| OF the voters of this state would so expires;
themselves at the polls.
