not speak out in meeting.
osmond Republican: Every day that IN,
I opponents Of J. J. Mccarthy investigat,

opposition vanishes and they are fast be
4 coming his most loyal supporters.
? osmond Republican: John Mccarthy 4,
strongest where he is personally known
His warm friends are those with whom h,
daily walks. Mccarthy is one who will
bear acquaintance. His common affable ma.
ture VIII not suffer by elevating him to con.
gres.
Rushville Recorder: M. p. Kinkaid may
have a weak stomach, but he has some
decidedly clear ideas both as to Law and
politics, and with all due respect to his
opponent, he can use them to the best
advantage in the future as he has in the
past.
harrington Herald: ]. J.. Mccarthy. re-
publican candidate for congress. will carry
the Third district by a larger majority than
did Mckinley in 1900 and It will also be
larger than that by which IL was carried
oy the republican states ticket last fall.
McCarthy's majority will not be less than
300 and will no doubt considerably exceed
1000.
Lyons Sun: The Hon. ]. J. Mccarthy is
giving the fusionists Of the Big Third such
a shaking up that they will be unable to
regain their equilibrium in time to cast
their ballots for his opponent. Mccarthy is
steadily growing In popularity and with a
united effort on the part Of all republicans
the result Of the balloting will be favorable
to Mccarthy, the emerald gem"
Kearney Democrat: The stir in the Sixth

man is very quiet, and II is the opinion
OF conservative and disinterested persons
that kinkaid's majority will probably reach
$500. Candidate Wisely will receive a
very respectable vote In Buffalo county,
and his vote in the district will cut quite
q prominent figure in the final result.
Beatrice Times: There is no denying
that Hon. e. H. Hinshaw is making a win
ning canvass. Personally popular and able,
and representing the policies of the party
OF progress and prosperity, there is no rea-
son why he should not be elected by a
rousing majority. II the republicans fail
to turn out and do this. the failure will be
without reason. But they will not fail.
Ponca Journal: The election Of ]. J. Nc
earthly to congress from this district will
be a great benefit to the entire Third dis
trict. Ponca and Dixon county will be es-
pecially benefited in the prestige and honor
tney VIII derive through being able to fur
nlsh the man for the place and local pride

pie politically opposed to him. Mccarthy
Will get a great vote in Dixon county.
Falls City Journal: Congressman Bur-
kett was In the city between trains yes
terday. Congressman Burkett always finds
many friends when he comes to Falls City,
TOR there is no town In the district where
his services are more appreciated than they
are by the people of Falls City. There
are very few men In this town who deny
that Congressman Burkett is, in many re-
spects. the most able representative that
this district has ever had at Washington.
North Platte Telegraph: The republican
convention made no mistake when 1t Sc
lected Moses p. Kinkaid as it's congress.

nous reply from men Of all parties will

Norfolk News: In 1896 Maxwell, the
fusion nominee for congress. was elected
over Hammond by more than 1000 plurality.
In 1898 Robinson was elected over Norris
with a plurality OF 1852. In 1900 Robinson
won over Hays by a plurality Of but IT'S
votes. This indicates the falling of OF the
fusion majority in this district since the
Of parties gained the ascendancy.
1t should require no wild guesses to reach
the conclusion that the fusion plurality
will entirely disappear this fall and that
the district will be represented by a re-

republican will be Hon. ]. ]. Nc

Indianola Independent: Now that all the !
candidates of both parties are in the field,
a kind OF Retrospective view OF the situa-
ton may not come amiss. At the head OF

district ID @. w. Norris, one OF the bright

not only the combined opposition, but by

Falls City Journal: Hanks is opposed to s
rural free delivery and the further extern
sion thereof. He must be opposed to this 9
because he is opposed to Burkett. 1t is /

Kearney Hub: There is not a single
solid argument why Patrick II.
Barry should be elected to congress from
he Sixth district in preference to Moses
Kinkaid. So far as personal character
yoes there is nothing to be said against
he fusion candidate. As to what he rep

line in the Sixth district all will admit.
That he would be compelled to act with
