CHICAGO, Dec. Is Joe Butler, CT Phil
adelphia, quit in the second round OF his
fight with Frank I>hilds, of Chicago, in the
arena of the ChsqAgd Athletic Club to-
night. Childs had all. the better of the
fight in the first round. and in the early
part of the second Butler went to the floor
from a swing that barely touched him.
He refused to rise and Referee Sier
counted him out. The club members raised
a protest at the early ending of the fight,
and as Butler expressed himself as willing
to try again. Childs who had taken off his
gloves, began to fight again and knocked
Butler out. This time there was no make
believe about it. Butler was some minutes
in recovering consciousness.
In the preliminaries Johnny Richie, of
Chicago, and Johnny Reagan, of Brooklyn,
fought a six-round draw.

Mr.. Thompson in the State Papers.
The following is an editorial the Re-
publican tried to produce last week,
but it was shorn of all its meaning by q
part of it's being left out:
d. E. Thompson Of Lincoln is again
an aspirant for senatorial honors. The
republicans OF this state have not for
gotten that after Mr.. Thompson saw he
was defeated last winter he formed q
combination with the pops and tried to
sell his party out in order that he might
secure the prize. He failed to secure
republicans enough however, who were
willing to go back on their party caucus
to make the scheme win. This bit Of
treachery on Mr.. Thompson's part
should, and we believe it has, buried
him for all time as a possible candidate
for office in the republican party. A
man who will sell his party out for his
own selfish ends is capable Of doing
great wrong in the United States senate

Of a senator is concerned is to at

MEIKLEJoHN.
There is strong undercurrent in
favor Of Assistant Secretary Of War
Meiklejohn for the position OF gov
ernor ON the republican ticket. The
courage he exhibited in 1891, at the
organization of the legislature has
not been forgotten. He is active,
clean, honest and not a candidate.
The manner in which he discharged
the arduOus duties Of his Office dur
ing the Spanish-American war and
especially his unremitting interest in
the welfare of the volunteer soldiers
are elements Of strength which no
other citizen Of Nebraska can COM
mand. His official connection with
the army in time Of war will suffer
nothing by comparison with the
official act of Governor POynter who
refused to assent as Governor to a
vote of thanks passed by the legis-
lature expressing the gratitude of
the people to the First Nebraska tor
its valor in camp and field. Mr..
MeikIejOhn as candidate would not
have to explain his acts regarding the
volunteers, Mr.. POINTER as candi-
date cannot explain his. There are
republicans of ability. sound judy
ment and political sagacity, and they
number more then a few, who insist
that wisdom dictates the nomination
of Lorenzo CrOunse as the republican
candidate for governor. They point.
as we'll they may, to his clean record
as public officer and the honest
business administration which he
obtained during his incumbency as
Governor.
THOMPSON.
Until the sixth day of the present
month D. E. Thompson was can,
didate, ir his mind, for the senator
ship. On that day he exhibited his
lack of political sagacity by inducing
the delegates to the republican con-
vention OF Lancaster county to en-
dorse his candidacy. That action
made him a candidate in fact. There
are republicans to whom the prin-
ciples of the party are realities; to
whom those principles furnish rule,
of political action. Who believe in
fidelity of purpose and purity as ap
piled to politics, who do not believe
that party and party principles are
to be snapped for place as an Indian
swaps wampum for beads, who know
that there is political virtue that is
not to be battered by every "Gas
Addicks" who desires to associate, per
force, with men OF character and dis
tinction. To such republicans the
candidacy of Mr.Thompson is..the COM

The double senatorial prize that will
