REPUBLICAN ENTRIES PLENTIFUL.

Friend Telegraph: The many friends OF
H. II. Wilson of Lincoln are pushing his
candidacy for governor on the republican
ticket next fall. Mr.. Wilson has q record
which is u~ntarnished and will be one Of
the strong candidates before the next con-
vention as a successor to Governor Savage.
Imperial Republican: Candidates are
being announced for congress for the Fifth
district with due regularity these days.
Last week the Arapahoe Mirror brought
forth the name Of State Senator Allen Of
that place as It's f~avorite candidate. AL
ready there are a dozen or more men,
toned for the position.
Wilsonville Review: Congressional can
didates appear thicker than pebbles in a
Nebraska sandstorm. The weightier OF the
eight a%spirants is Judge @. w. Norris Of
McCook. Here's hoping that he will be
made the preference of the convention.
He is deserving of recognition ahead of
any other Furnas county man.
Hastings Tribune: There is no use for
the republican party to get into trouble
over Governor Savage. He will not be
nominated. The next thing now is to select
a candidate who can be elected. This will
not be a dif1cult task. The party In the
state has many able men. Harmony be-
fore the convention means success at the
election.
Neigh Leader: The name Of Judge ]. f.
Boyd OF this city is among those mentioned
in connection with the nomination for con-
gress from this district. While the Leader
is not speaking by authority. It is Of the
opinion that the Judge Is not q candidate,
In at least the common acceptance OF the
term. Yet 1t might be true that II rendered
the nomination by e practically unanimous
vote he might feel obliged to accept the
honor. That he would make a winning fight
is beyond the bounds OF doubt.
RushVille Recorder: Candidates for gov
ernor are being freely mentioned in the
state press and while we have not the
pleasure OF knowing any of them, we like
the favorable notices given of Judge Paul
lessen Of Otoe county, who holds the dis
tinction Of being born in the state. We all
believe In Nebraska, and as Judge lessen Il
q man OF unimpeachable character, q pa
triot and soldier OF the Spanish war and
whose position on the BARLEY pardoning ACT
is above suspicion, we believe he would
command the respect Of q largo majority Of
Nebraska republicans.
Columbus Times: me third congress.
