Springfield Monitor. Omaha electors did
the right thing when they sat down on
the Boil telephone monopoly by so decisive
majority. And this notwithstanding tile

Blair Courier: Kennedy was really de-
feated by Douglas county. but the vote In
this county shows that he made a mistake
when he went back on the friends who
helped nominate him two years ago and
supported Cook who fought him for post
master. The independent telephone busi-
ness had something TO do with Il, too. not
that Kennedy was opposed to It, but that
Hitchcock made a strong fight for Il In
his paper and the people stood by him for
that reason.
Central City NonparieI The victory OF
the republican party in Nebraska, whhs
50 overwhelming ais 70 be source OF graft
ifcation 20 every loyal republican, ought
TO bring a feeling OF responsibility rather
than Of citation. It has been proven that
in spite of the fact that at times bad men
through the manipuiations of politicians
have usurped the powers OF the party and
betrayed their trust, the people still have
confidence in the platform and principles
Of the grand old party and believe that
the great majority Of its leaders are sim
cere In their promises and viii carry out
their pledges The republican state ticket
was elected in its entirety and the legisla-
ture will be so overwhelmingly republicans
that every pledge which the party has mada
during the last campaign can and must be
redeemed. We believe that the majority
Of the democratic leaders were sincere in
their desire for the reforms they advocated,
and that they will be just as well satis-
fed at receiving the legislation they de-
mand from republican legislature as from
a fusion legislature. 1t devolves upon those
who have been elected to state and iegisia-
tive offices 70 keep their platform always
before them, for-the people who. elected
them viii not be satisfied until every pledge
has been redeemed and every promise full
