REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Plainview Republican: Who is Mickey7
He is not an old rlngster at any rate. He
Is an old soldier who wore the blue when
there was fighting to do. He is not an Of
fee seeker, but when he ran up against a
nomination he did not retreat. Yes, he
will be elected by a majority of 5000.
Valentine Republican: People generally
and republicans particularly in this part Of
the state are we'll satisfied with the re-
publican state ticket nominated at Lincoln
last week. 1t is a ticket made up of honest,
clean men, inspiring confidence and en-
thusiasm that bespeaks success at the polls
this fall.
Minden Gazette: The republicans at their
state convention nominated ]. II. Mickey
OF Osceola for governor, z. G.. McGilton OF
Omaha for lieutenant governor, Peter Nor
Jensen of Ord for state treasurer and re-
nominated the balance of the present state
officers. The ticket is considered an ex-
ceptionally strong one and its election by
an unusually big majority is predicted.
Wausa Gazette: Fusion papers are at loss
for anything to say against Mr.. Mickey,
the republican nomine for governor,
and as usual when in want Of any plausible
charge they set up the old howl of rail-
road candidate" A man who attended the
convention and knows what efforts the
railroad politicians exerted to prevent the
nomination of Mr.. Mickey can not but
laugh outright at such silly twaddle.
Crete Vidette-Herald Mickey is an old
soldier. He was also one of Nebraska's
pioneers. He took a homestead In Polk
county in 1868. He was elected for Ave
consecutive terms as county treasurer and
in 1881 was a member of the legislature.
He is now a banker, farmer and stock
raiser. Mr.. Mickey wGs nominated by the
people and the people will elect him and
he will faithfully serve the people.
Holdrege Citizen: The republicans have
reason to be proud Of the ticket they have
up this year and they should not miss an
opportunity to say a good word for 1t. The
state ticket is headed by John H. Mickey,
who is an old soldier and a pioneer. On
the congressional ticket there is Judge Nor
ris, who has such a record as a Judge on
| the bench in the western part of the state.
The rest Of the ticket is in keeping with
these two men and should receive the sup
port Of those who want men in places of
honor and trust who can be trusted to do
something.
Bradshaw Republican: There has never
been a time, that we can now call to mind,
when the entire republican press, from all
quarters Of the state, were 80 jubilant and
enthusiastic in their support Of a state
ticket as they are at this time, and when
the republican press lays off its coat and
rolls up it's trousers and its sleeves to
strike In unison, success is assured. The
party IN its conventions needed the advice
OF the press and swung clear Of the bosses,
which leaves the political field clean and
clear for the press, and republican success
is already doubiy sure.
Falls City Journal: II the republican
PARTY ever pointed with pride" it is justi'
fed in SO doing when 1t considers the new
state ticket and the one that 1t will ask
the people to support at the polls next
fall. The strength Of this ticket lies in
the personality Of the candidates. This
| ticket is not characterized by the ear
marks Of machine politics. 1t was not
made to suit any particular ring. 1t is a
ticket made up Of good men and as such
is entitled and will have the support of all
that class OF people who have the best in
terests OF the state at heart.
David City Record: It is conceded gen.
orally that the state convention nominated
an excellent ticket. Hon. John H. Mickey
Of osceola is a man highly esteemed and
worthy Of the support OF all republicans,
and we believe he will make a good gov
ernor II elected. Mr.. Mortensen is repre-
scented as a man we'll qualified for the i'm
portant trust Of state treasurer. and the
denomination OF the remainder Of the state
officers was a recognition OF services wei
performed in their respective positions tbs
past term. Mr.. McGilton is vouched for al
a clean man for lieutenant governor, and
qualified to discharge the duties OF chic
state executive should he be called on Il
perform these duties. The platform is clear
decisive and strong, meeting all the issues
and the requirements Of the political situa'
tion.
Alma Journal: One could not attend thu
convention at Lincoln and not be convinced
that the clean patriotism OF Lincoln
Grant, Garfield and Mckinley was para
mount in the hearts OF Nebraska republi'
cans. II was a convention OF the people
II was a convention OF 1853 delegates and
nearly every one Of them were there. They
came on railroad tickets bought and patC
for. They paid their own expenses. The
attended strictly 70 their business at thu
convention. They selected the men for pos
ition not dominated by ring politician
They adopted a platform Of good soun'
sense, commended President Mckinley foI
his position upon Cuban reciprocity. II va
