PARTING SHOTS or THE CAMPAIGN.

judges should be honest men. free from
party domination. This will exclude Hol-

st. Paul Republican: A strong plea Is
being made for the local fusion candidates
rs well for Silas Holcomb on account
Of principle-"for Bryan's sake" This is
the usual refuge of a dominant party when
1t realizes that 1t has jeopardzed victory
by nominating unpopular candidates.

Der that for eleven years past Neville, the
fusionist candidate for congress, has re-
fused TO pay the taxes assessed against his
realty for the support of these schools.
Hastings Tribune: NJ. b. Reese's legal
| ability and his high standing certainly
| ought to win for him the office OF supreme
judge. His ability cannot be questioned and
his character is above reproach, and 1t is
only such man that the voters of Nebraska
can afford to place on the supreme bench
| Arapahoe Mirror (dem): The Bryanarch-
| lists are accusing the editor hereof of be-
| ing a republican. We are anything to beat
the outfit that has dlsgraced the name of
democracy and insulted the memories OF
jefferson, jackson, Polk, Pierce. Benton and
| Tilden by substituting all the wld-eyed

| McCook Tribune: Judge Reese will carry
Red Willow county, that much is conceded,
| and it may be safely claimed by nice
plurality. The Judge is entitled to a right
royal support and he will get it. No man
in Nebraska commands in larger degree
the admiration and confidence of the people
than does Judge Reese. His character is
beyond fair criticism and his ability as a
judge and lawyer is beyond cavil.
Grand Island Republican: The repub-
lican members OF the election boards should
keep their eyes open and see that there is
no fraudulent marking of ballots as was
practiced in the attempted recount fraud |
Look out for the double cross and "dou- |
be-shuffie" scheme which was detected in |
time to prevent the recount in 1897 free |
ballot and an honest count are all the re- |
'SS"'
acceptable.
York Times: Make no mistake about Nj.
b. Reese. He is an honest man. No matter
what opposition papers may say of him in
campaign times they cannot neutralize the !
compliments they have bestowed upon him
during the last ten years. They have de-
cared that he was too honest, too just, too
upright for the republican party, but now
that the republican party has nominated
him they find he is a rascal Don't be so
foolish as to be influenced in your opinion
of him nor in your vote by such coarse work.

Pender Republican: Judge Powell de-
cided on Tuesday at Omaha that the repub-
lican candidates had the right under the
law to have their names appear first on
the ballots, and in Douglas county they will
be so placed. But here, in Thurston county,
which went republican last fall on every
candidate, the democrats who are in control
