tFrom a stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Aug. 25.-(Special. 1.-THE
sell out OF the Journal-News-Brown COM
bipation TO the Burlington machine in
4 Lancaster county in order to get an en-
.5orsement for Norris Brown In the county
convention for United States senator"
said a Lancaster politician, has risen up
as a mighty embarrassment for the fake
reformers.
by the time the Burlington machine
landed the old time railroad wire-puilers,
John McKesson and Joe Burns. for state
senators. Ever since the Journal-News
began to pump hot air reform the two
Lancaster senatorial candidates have been
held up as shining examples of what the
republicans OF Lancaster should not toll
crate. Since the tie-up, however by
which Brown got the Lancaster delega-
tion, the two papers have endorsed these
two men. whom they themselves stamped
as railroad tools and agents.
To endorse them further work for
their election stamps the News-Journal
as insincere in it's alleged work for the
elimination of the railroads from the
control of Nebraska politics. Another
thing the fake reformers are worrying
about is the fact that McKesson and
Burns are not instructed to vote for the
convention nominee for senator, and IL
tire Burlington concludes to change It's
mind and not send Brown to the senate,
of course Il can depend upon McKesson
and Burns voting for some one elGe.
I'm the meantime 1t will be Impossible
for Norris Brown to come into Lancaster
county and ask the republicans to vote
for reform, as personihed by McKesson
and Burns The columns of the Journal
would be pulled on him the first rattle
out of the box.
''The railroads never before played poll
tics so smoothly II you win take a look
over the counties instructed for Brown you
will, in many cases. find railroad agents
nominated for the legislature. This is
the deal through which the Burlington
let Norris Brown be the convention nomi-
nee for senator"

money this year for the first time on street
