n the disgrace than men of other
parties. According to our wise polti.
cal system when a man Is once elected
he represents the men and women Of
city, a state, or a nation. Like q
monarch, the president of the United
States is the representative of his peo.

q whole and not as members of this

one which did its best to elect another
man.
Senator Allen is a man Of ability
and Of commanding presence, but
there are other men in his party who
would not periodically disgrace the
state; other men of equal ability,
whose long and distinguished services

times have ably represented this state.
He Is a dignified, cultured Nebraskan
of whom no member Of any party at
any time need be ashamed. Among
the men assembled in Washington
from the states Of the east, the west,
the north, and the south Mr.. Hitch.
cock would take his place and fulfill
the duties, bear gracefully the honors
and discharge adequately the respon.
sibilities Of the senator from Nebras.
