Judge Quarles' hearty shake of Mr..
Echols as gubernatorlal candidate
possesses few elements of ambiguity
whatever it may lack in patriotism to-
ward the Valley and Augusta. Born
outside the view of the graceful Inning
of our mountains, down where
the black jack and persimmons grow,
his heart naturally turns to the per-
sons and things of his youthful days
He cannot wean himself away. and he
considers it not disloyal to look after
them first and those of his adopted
country second, 1t must be this which
causes him to consider a candidate
from this quarter second 10 those who
first saw the sunlight nearer tidewater
1t Is natural with him. He means nc
offense by it, but for once we hat
hoped he would subordinate persona
preference to Augustus inter est. Yet
we suppose that would be asking too
much, SO we do not press those hope
upon him.

RETIRING SILVER.

There is a good deal of unnecessary
legislation going on in Con-
gress in the shape of the Hill and
Overstreet bills, for keeping the silver
dollar on parity with the gold dollar.
The real fear is that the silver dollar
will rise above the gold dollar, but the
impression is attempted to be made
that 1t requires superhuman efforts to
hold it up to the gold standard. Tho
the secret is that they are to be push
ed out of circulation for the benefit of
the Banks. When we recall that Bank
shinplasters are kept on par with
other money simply because they are
supposed to have government bonds
behind them, but are not legal tender
for anything, nobody need trouble
himself or lose sleep over the silver
dollar, it will stand the storm with
the government behind it. But the
public must be deceived by these bills,
and the banks, dear creatures, must be
further cared for, that is all.

At midnight Chairman Lindsay of the
Republican committee said: we have
elected Judge Sedgwick by a plurality
at least as large as that given William
Mckinley a year ago" Chairman De
France Of the Fusion committee had no
statement to give out, but said he was
hopeful.
All the returns received up to
O'Clock this morning indicate that all
Of the Republican ticket has been
elected, perhaps by as much as 10000
majority. The figures upon which this
estimate is based are on precinct re-
turns, which show average Republican
gains of about four to the precinct.
The returns from 15S precincts out
side of Lincoln and Omaha give Sedg-
wick, Republican, for supreme court
judge, a total of 1870, against 1928
for Hollenbeck, fusion These same
precincts a year ago gave Marsh, Re
publican, 1852 votes, against 1881
for Svoboda, fusion.
This means that Sedgwick's major
ity in these precincts is about 1900
more than the majority received by
Mr.. Marsh. AS Marsh carried the
state by nearly 5000, this means that
If the remaining precincts make the
same comparative showing there can
be no question as to the election of
Judge Sedgwick by a very handsome
majority
Chairman Lindsay of the Republican
committee, who, throughout, has been
conservative, says the Republicans
have carried the state by not less than
5000. Chairman De France OF the
fusionists does not concede defeat.
The city of Lincoln and Lancaster
county furnished a surprise by giving
Sedgwick nearly 400 plurality.

LINCOLN AS A CANDIDATE.
How He Swung the Cradle to Win
Votes.
Chicago News)


In Silas G. Pratt's new book. Lincoln
in Story" is related how Abraham Lin
coin. when a candidate for the Illinois
legislature in 49,, gained some votes. K.
HerndOn of New Salem says:
He came to my house near Island
Grove during the harvest; there were
some thirty men in the field. He got his
dinner and went into the field where the
men were at work. [ gave him an intro
duCtiOn, and the boys said they could not
vote for q man unless he could make a
hand chat is. take a scythe or cradle and
now. Well boys, said Lincoln, If
that's ALL l am sure of your votes. He
then took the cradle and led the way all
the round Of the field with perfect ease.
The boys were satisfied, and / don't think
he lost a vote in the entire crowd"
Another story is as follows: "One aft
ernoon Lincoln and his opponent rode up
to farmers house on horses. which they
put out in the barn themselves, the hus-
band being away In a distant field at
work The good farmers wife invited
them to take supper and stay over night,
as was customary. Finally came time
to milk the cows, and the woman, taking
her pail, started for the barnyard. Mr..
Ewing 0sincolnS companion and OpDOn-
from her hand and insisted upon milking
the COW himself. He thought by thus
helping the woman to do her work he
would surely win her good viii; and so

chuckling to himself how he had got the
better of Abe Lincoln. Once In awhile
he would speak to the lady. who stood
by the fence. looking on; but, after a
time receiving no reply from her, he
looked around. only to see the woman and
Lincoln leaning comfortably on the fence
and talking in a most friendly manner.
When Mr. Ewing finished. the farmers
wife added insult to injury by thanking
him most heartily. not only for milking
the COW, but also for giving her a chance
