PARTING SHOTS oV THE CAMPAIGN.

| Sutton Advertiser; Everyone viii con-
| cede without argument that our supreme
| judges should be honest men, free from
party domination. This will exclude Hol-
comb.
Stanton Picket II the voters Of Ne
braska do their duty they will vote out OF
| existence the Bryan-Allen- -FIolcomb- Edmis.
ten trust. The country never had a more
| thoroughly organized or disreputable trust
organized for personal preferment.
st. Paul Republican: strong plea Is
| being made for the local fusion candidates
rs well as for Silas Holcomb on account
Of principle-"for Bryan's sake" This is
the usual refuge of dominant party when
1t realizes that 1t has jeopardized victory
by nominating unpopular candidates.
North Platte Tribune: When you see the
| happy boys and girls OF this community
in attendance at our public schools remem-
Der that for eleven years past Neville, the
| fusionist candidate for congress, has re-
fused to pay the taxes assessed against hs
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 dIsgraced the name of
| democracy and insulted the memories OF
jefferson jackson, Polk, Pierce, Benton and
Tilden by substituting all the wild-eyed
isms extant for the time honored principles
| g ~ 80 fn4h Aud Uhn
are you going to do about 1t?
McCook Tribune: Judge Reese will carry
Red Willow county, that much is conceded,
and 1t may be safely claimed by nice
plurality. The Judge is entitled to a right
royal support and he will get 1t. 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
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-
ble-shuffie" scheme which was detected in
time to prevent the recount in 1897. free
ballot and an honest count are all the re-

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-
clared 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 rascal. Don't be so
| foolish as to be influenced in your opinion
of him nor in your vote by such coarse work.
Superior Journal Desiring to get at the

Of 1896, the editor called uron the First
National bank of this city, whose books,

institution the same week in 1896 $685.,

Pender Republican: Judge Powell de-
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
of the court house machinery and court
house ring, too, wilfully disregard the law
because they think it will be to the ad-
vantage of their candidates to do so. Clerk
hn r,a1n to MI hn
republicans names first on the ticket by
mandamus, but the republicans will win
the election anyway, despite this unjust
discrimination.
| York Republican, Who would have
thought that in such a short time the fu
sion leaders in Nebraska would have been
in position where they are compelled to
entirely ignore state issues? 1t is only two
short political moons ago that they passed
the word along the line, Hold the repub-
licans to state issues" And republicans
adopted the challenge and the result was
the falling off Of Thousands Of votes from
tho fusion majority. At that time the fu
sion state house record was not so well
known. The paso grabbing, and rent grab
bing, and insurance grabbing, and school
land grabbing had not come to light. Now
the watchword is "hnperialism," and there
has proven its leaders unworthy and they
hope to distract public attenti from their
unworthiness until after one more election
by setting up tho bogy of imperialism"
, There is uothing in America that comes
within thousand miles of answering to
ths word.
Gretna News Reporter: The election of
proper man for judge of the highest court
in the state is Of supreme Importance to the
people Therefore, before voting next Tues
day ask Of your conscience If Holcomb has
been the man that he should have been
while serving the people in a position Of
great trust. Is it not true that you voters
of the fusion persuasion have felt, during
the campaign, in the position of apologsts
for the man your conventions nominated
for a position involving the highest and
most sacred trust that can be placed in the
hands of a man under a republican form
of government? The supreme judiciary of
the United States and the states Is the one
feature of our governmental structure that
approaches absolutism, modified in the state
courts by the fact that the cffice is elective
