ing the campaign just drawing to a close.
the .chairmen OF the republican aud demo-
cratic committees make the following
statements.
w b. Rose chairman republican state
committee: While there has been little
red fire and excitement Mn this campaign
conditions at the close are most favorable
for a sweeping republican victory. The
democrats placed themselves under sus-
picion IN their state convention and the
feeling that an alliance had been mace py
them with the railroads is accumulated by
numerous developments Of the campaign.
The republicans took high ground. not only
selection OF their candidates, and as
consequence 1t has not been difficult to
convince the people Of our good faith. The
republican campaign has been conducted
along square deal lines. George sheldon,
Norris Brown and the other republican
nominees are a, platform N themselves
Wherever they have gone they have inn
pressed the people with their SINCERITY.
They have made a gallant ight to drive
them under state control, and firmly be-
lieve that it will prove successful one.
ali sections Of the state Indicate that the
voters are taking deep, though quiet,
interest IN the questions that have. been
discussed In this campaign and that n
large majority Of them have made up their
minds TO vote the republican ticket. We
anticipate, of course, the difficulty usually

The party Organization throughout the
state IS In splendid condition. however.
The county chairmen and precinct com
mitteemen are active and enthusiastic and
hundreds of them have assured us that
they will use every effort for party sue

surely will be elected and a good working

what the Democrats Claim.
r. S. Allen, chairman democratic state
committee: You may say the democratic
and populist state ticket will be elected.
You may also say that we will elect ma
jorty OF the legislature and at least four
out OF the six congressman, with a good
prospect of electing FIVE. 7 make this

that the only chance for the republican

state plainly indicated to them that there
was no hope for their ticket unless they

way to bring about this result was to try

they have failed. They have failed because
the people OF Nebraska are not fools.

AS indicated by the above statements
both republicans and democrats are salts

The campaign just, closed has not been o
a spectacular nature, though several BIZ
meetings have been held by both parties.
For the republicans, Brown apd sheldo
