I for Bryan's sake. we want TO be careful and
not put him in an ONCE like supreme Judge.
for Bryans sake or for the sake OF any
one cleo who could be so unprincipled as
to drag the supreme bench down TO the level
OF o Tammany hall Doodle Joint.
Kearney Hub: The contrast between ex-
Judge Reese and would-be judge Holcomb
Is exceedingly striking. The former STAYS
at home and attends to his business. be-
lieving that a candidate for Judge OF the
supreme court has no business tramping I'M
and down the political highways begging
for votes. The latter has put in all OF the
weeks OF the canvass attempting TO ex-
plain his dubious record and dragging the
high office to which he aspires around in
the dirt after him. The former is a man
fitted by experience and instinct for the
position The latter is not fitted for It at
ALL
Seward Reporter: One OF the stronees,
arguments in favor of the election of Judge
Reese that we have seen is letter written
by r.. j. Nightingale an attorney OF Loup
City. Mr. Nightingale is we'll known 10
many old residents of Seward county, hav-
ing resided here a number OF years ago
He has always been democrat but re-
CARDS the election of judges as a matter
that should be settled outside of partisan
politics. He has known Ex-Governor Hol-
comb since before his election as district
Judge and speaks of his record as a Judge
and a politician from intimate knowledge.
On summing up of Mr.. Holcomb's char
acteristics he concludes that he Is in no
sense fitted for supreme Judge. Mr.. Nightin.
gale speaks highly of the qualifications OF
Judge Reese and makes a comparison OF
the two which is greatly in favor of Reese.
To all who know Mr.. Nightingale this let
ter will come with much force, as his hon
esty and high character are conceded by
all his acquantances. Coming from dem
ocrat, who knows Mr.. Holcomb intimately
and who has practiced in his court, the let
ter is certainly worthy of consideration and
its evident candor and fairness make 1t very
much more entitled to credit than the usual
campaign argument

San Francisco Call: Over and over again
British critics have denounced the censored
reports sent out from Manila under the
orders of General Otis. Over and over again
they have assumed a superior virtue in
representation of news. Never however, has
there ever been committed by the officials of
this country whether civil or military. any
such wholesale and extraordinary misrepre-
sentation as that which is now being carried
on by the British.
Baltimore American: In all the victories
won by the Beers in South Africa these
sturdy fellows have proved that they can be
humane as well as brave. English soldiers
wounded and taken prisoner have been
treated by them with the utmost considera-
tion. and their hospitals are as open to
their enemies as to their own men. Yet
English writers have labored to make the
world believe that the Beers are little If
any, better than sayages. brutal in their
treatment OF all in their power, possessing
none Of the instincts that are developed by
true civilization. Boer kindness to their
captives shows how unjust are the charges
their enemies have laid at their door.
Springfield Republican: Most of these
British regiments have histories that go
back century or two. The Gloucestershre
regiment, which the Beers have so badly
shattered, was under Wellington in the
Peninsula war, and in one battle there, wi
rear rank faced about, received French
charges on both front and rear at the same
time. For this distinguished feat Yelling
ton allowed the regiment to wear special
badge on the back of their shakos. The
Royal Irish Fusileers, which also has been
so badly cut up in South Africa, enjoys the
glorious tradition OF having captured the
eagles of French regiment In the Napo-
leonic wars. Such traditions as these are
carefully nursed in military organizations,
and they serve to give splendid esprit de
corps to the rank and file. Most soldiers OF
the queen can find enough to fight for in
the honor OF the regiment" without think
ing even CT their country, or going into the
merits that brought two peoples to war.

THE NEW BALLOT.

Nebraska voters will Tuesday be
called upon to record themselves upon
the new ballot never before used in this
city and state.
The ballot law enacted by the last
legislature does away with what was
known as the pictorial ballot, as also
with the circle voting. In other words,
instead of being permitted to vote for
the entire ticket with one cross-mark
placed within the circle under n party
emblem, such as the eagle or the cot
tage home, the voter will be compelled
to put a cross mark opposite the name
of each candidate for whom he wishes
his ballot to be counted
The new ballot is more like that
which was in force in Nebraska before
the pictorial ballot was introduced, but
with this difference: On the original
Australian ballot in this state the
names of the candidates We're arranged
alphabetically without regard to the
party by which the candidates were
nominated. The present ballot contains
the names grouped by political parties
and placed in the order of the votes
polled by those parties at the last pre-
ceding election. Under the new law,
furthermore, candidate IS not allowed
to have his name on the ticket more
than once, but when nominated by
more than one party the name of the
candidate is followed by the names of
the various parties enclosed in
bracket opposite which is the square
for the voters cross-mark should he
wish TO record himself for that candi-
date.
The result this year is that the re.
publican candidates on the ticket have
their names followed simply by the
word republican" and the fusion can,
didates are designated by the names of
the fusion parties grouped in bracket
The relative position of the tickets will
vary, owing to the conflicting decisions
of the different county clerks as TO

DISGRACEFUL CAMPAIGNING

There is code of honor among
thieves and gamblers and there is de.
cency in politics even if the politician is
the mire of the slums in order to get
votes.
In the present campaign the World
Herald has resorted to all that is vile,
low and indefensible from the stand
point of decent politics. Its columns
have been reeking with filth falsehood
and perjury. Instead of confining the
campaign to the discussion of issues
and candidates, it has shOwered abuse
and vilification upon private citizens
who are not candidates for office, but
whose offense is opposition to the con-
glOmerate ticket of sham reform
In this campaign of vilification the
irresponsible hirelings and blackmail-
ers have indiscriminately assaulted and
libelled men and women and fabricated
falsehoods concerning them in order to
make political capital for a desperate
cause Instead of trying to manage the
campaign of their own party they have
sought to manage the campaign of the
republican party and have by deliberate
misrepresentation tried to impose upon
the few republicans who began to read
that sheet when it was supporting
Majors at $75 day.
Nothing could be more hypocritical
than the World Herald's constant wall
about the wrongs of the colored man,
the alleged maltreatment of the Jews,
the fictitious grievances of the Bohe-
mians and the terrible frauds by which

water Moores machine
Who has done more to insult and out
rage the colored people whenever the
opportunity offered than has the World
Herald?
pion of the Jews, when it never ceases
by hook-nosed pictorials and anti-Se-
mitic screeds to create prejudice against
the Jews?
What have the Bohemians ever had
to show in this city and county in the
democrats We're in power?
And where Is there any evidence
whatever that the republican primaries
We're carried by unfair means or that
fraud was perpetrated in the nominat-
ing convention?
AS matter of fact no primaries ever
held by any party in this county We're
more free from fraud and carried by
more decisive majorities. In the ban
ner republican wards, for example, the
Fourth and the Sixth, the delegates |
chosen We're elected by two to one in

cations had yigilant challengers and |
every precaution was taken to insure

Third ward, in which the candidate for |

tually uncontested, while the maioritles |
in the First, Second, Seventh and Ninth |
wards were decisive.
