without exception the republicans Of
Omaha who have expressed their opinion
of the work Of the republican convention
at Lincoln for publication have said that
the ticket and the platform were alike sat
isfactory. Some OF the persons say that
they are unacquainted with the candidate
for governor, but the old residents Of the
city and state who know him speak Of him
in the highest terms, while there is an
unanimous feeling Of pleasure over the nom
.%ination Of Mr.. McGilton for lieutenant gov
ernor. Some OF the expressions are as fol-
lows:
H.. r.. Gould-Mr. Mickey is an old ac-
ouaintance Of mine. l have known him for
twenty-six years and never in all of that
time have l ever heard a word to his dis
credit. He is d careful and able man and
will make a good governor. Mr.. Mortensen,
the nominee for treasurer, is a man Of high
character. who will administer the office
honestly. He will run well. The other
nominees am not acquainted with.
Mel II. Hoerner-The ticket is all right.
NcGilton stands away up and the convention
certainly made no mistake in his case. Mr..
Mickey is a good man and the convention
evidently was satisfied with the work Of
the other officers or they would not have
been renominated.
where Counted.
N. c. Pratt-That was the best convention
/ ever saw. 1t was remarked by many
that in no previous convention Of any party
did the individual delegate count for so
much as in this one. Many of the men
who were candidates had a number Of dele
gates there in their behalf and no combina-
tion or deal had power to win them away.
The result of their deliberations is the
strongest ticket probably that could have
been named by the convention. Mr.. Mickey
is a man who will unite all factions and
elements. McGilton will add strength to
the ticket in Douglas county and Mortensen
IS an element of strength on account OF his
high personal qualities.
c. +. HARRISON have known Mr.. Mickey
for sixteen years and will say that II the
party was looking for the cleanest man In
the state for the office Of governor they did
not 20 wrong. No man can say anything
against Mr.. Mickey and tell the truth.
]. P. Breen-It is an admirable ticket all
the way through; not a weak man on 1t. l
am particularly pleased with Mickey, as he
will harmonic all parts Of the state.
f. A. Brogan-It is a good ticket, a first
class ticket. The party has adopted a good
platform and is going to win out.
Joseph H.. Blair-I am inclined to think
that the convention picked the best man
for governor. From the fact that he went
into the convention with a comparatively
small following 1t would seem that he has
now nothing to trammel his actions-no
promises made for support, and that he Is
independent of all alliances and combina-
tions. The platform adopted is a splendid
one.
Head Cannot BE ExceIled.
John c. wharton-I think that the head
of the ticket could not be excelled. In
the central and western part of the state
he has a wide reputation as a man OF high
standing and much ability. He is a sue
~.cessful business man and is popular with
all classes. Mr.. McGilton is a clean, up
right man, whose nomination was we'll
deserved. / am glad TO know that Peter
lMorteusen has been nominated, for he Is
one of the best men for the position of
treasurer in the state and will fill that
office with honor to himself and credit to
the party which nominated him.
c. c. Belden-I have not had an oppor-
,tunity to study the ticket yet, but l am
well pleased with the nomination Of MIR.
,McGilton.
II. j. Penfold-The work OF the convention
IS satisfactory to me in every particular.
Robert Cowles-Mr. McGilton is a clean,
capable man and is exceedingly popular
with all who know him. / was a little
disappointed in the nomination of governor,
as | expected to see someone who had a
wider acquaintance over the state named
for that position. Mr.. Mickey may be a
very good man, and no doubt he is better
acquainted in the state than he is in
Omaha.
Thomas Kilpatrick-I have not had time
to look up the nominees. l know Mr.. Me-
Clifton, and II the rest OF the trcket is made
an NJ men as good "a he is IL Is an excellent
ticket.
Mel Uhl-The ticket is a winner. think
that It is a good thing that they COM
promised as they did, for there might have
been a fight, which would have done the
ticket nominated no good.
G. W. Wattles-I am we'll pleased with the
result. l think Mr.. Mickey is a very sub
s~tantlal. honest and respectable citizen
Mr.. McGilton we all know TO be a clean
capable young man. Mr.. Mortensen IL
we'll known and able. The ticket al
through Is one Of the strongest that coulC
have been named.
Judge Irving f. Baxter-The convention'
action is perfectly satisfactory and leave
no sore spots. Mickey seemed satisiactor!
TO all and l believe It may be said Of hin
that he was the candidate of no faction
no clique and no railroad. Everybod,
seemed pleased with him and all cam
away in the right spirit.
