Ord Journals General Barry left an arm
on q southern battlefield because he loved
his country, and has never ceased to
love II. and did his duty 70 the best Of blaa
ability. He will 90 to congress this yearC
too. Stick q pin here.
stanton Register: John 6. Robinson will
show J. J. Mccarthy the way to run in
this district, but will be far enough ahead
so there will be no danger OF Nc. over
taking the present occupant Of the seat in
congress representing the Third district.
Sterling Record A. ]. Weaver OF Falls
City and w. H. Kelliger Of Auburn are
mentioned ss fusion candidates for con-
gress from this district. They are both
good men and should either be elected we
will know we are represented in congress.
HoldreEs Progresss Adams county's
candidate on the fusion state ticket-Dr. ].
N. Igman-is one Of the most substantial
~citiSens Of Nebraska. His record as treas
urer to his home county and as a member
Of the state senate 10 without flaw or re-
preach. The people Of Nebraska will do
we'll to elect him to the state treasurship.
Hebron Register: W. H. Thompson, the
fusion candidate for governor, is truly a

See that the present tax laws Of the state
are enforced. His honesty and integrity
10 not Questioned even by his most radical
political opponents.
Aurora SUM- There has been no oom-
plant among the fusion forces over the re-
form ticket, nor concerning any one candi-
date on the ticket. Not only that, but
many republicans express the ticket as their
choice and will work and vote 90 that end.
1t would not be surprising to US TO see the
entire ticket come out in November with
the largest majority ever given q fusion
ticket in this state.
Holdrege Progress: The nominee on the
fusion ticket for auditor, Charles O.. De-
France, is one Of the best men IN the state.
He is an expert accountant, q gentleman
Of fine literary attainments, an able writer,
a student Of economies. a thorough popu-
list OF many years standing and an honest
man. No one In the state IL better
qualified to hold the ONCE Of state auditor
than Mr.. DeFrance.
Plattsmouth Journal; Frank d. Eager,
editor OF the Nebraska Independent, is
being groomed for congress- on the fusion
ticket. Mr.. Eager is an able man and will
make q good race, II he can be induced
by his friends to make the fight. The
Independent is the ofhcial organ OF the
state for the populist party, and Mr.. Eager
has a large following, not only in the First
district, but throughout the state.
Wahoo New Era: That the renomina-
ton of Congressman Stark p~leases the
New Era need pot be stated, His honor
able and able career in congress entitled
him to denomination because no new man
could serve the district as evidently as
his experience and conceded ability will
enable him to do. That he will be
triumphantly elected no one with. sense
and knowledge of political conditions in
the district disputes.
ORD Journal: II the republican papers
of Nebraska will keep on telling that the
populists are sore and kicking because
Ii55. ". II. Thompson ives nominated for
governor at Grand Island, they will GER
tainly elect him, as ~populists as a whole
know II is not true. While the delegates
there did want a populist for governor,
there was at all times a steady under cur
rent for the Little Giant and when he
was nominated the populists, with very few
exceptions, were satisfied. Mr.. Thompson
has always been the friend of the people
and an antt-monopolist from the ground
up. His chances OF election are good
and getting better each day.
