Ponca Journal; 1t is Governor Mickey
now. Ex-Governor Savage will retire to the
Pacific coast. where he will try to forget all
about Il.

from a distance that II is about time the
Thompson-anti-Th Thompson scrap at Lincoln
Is called on. II has had a pretty thorough
hearing, Thompson has been we'll provided
for, so have the anti-Thompson men.
Beatrice Express: Governor Savage doubt
less shed tears when he discharged the
heroic colonies who composed his military
stan and reflected upon the fact that he
would never again lead those intrepid men
where the bullets were thickest. There is
comfort in the thought that when one set
Of colonies step down and out another set
is appointed so the commonwealth really
doesn't, suffer from a colonel famine.
Kesrney Hub: The thrilling event Of the
week has been the discharge OF Governor
Savage's military staff upon the occasion
of his retirement from office, with several
encomiums on their gallantry, bravery and
services performed for the state. Governor
Savage's stan and that OF Governor Diet
rich before him, has been nothing IL not
magnificent, and has constituted the most
spectacular military collection ever seen in
Nebraska.
Bradshaw Republican: The Inauguration
of Comrade John H. Mickey as governor OF
this commonwealth brings to our mind the
fact that Comrade Mickey is the second
governor furnished out OF the remnant Of
that noble regiment, the Eighth Iowa cav
alry-the late Governor Walden Of Iowa
and the present Governor Mickey Of Ne
braska. Few regiments of the late war OF
the rebellion can boast OF more and what
is best of all, republican principles we're
then, as now, the guiding star Of both.
