Newman Grove Republican: The repub-
licans OF the state legislature did the Only
thing they could do honorably and elected

But the cold fact still remains. The pro.
gressive republicans in this matter, have
been betrayed by pretended friends.
Wayne Herald The new senator's speech
of acceptance has the true ring, and his

the tabling of the resolution for that pur-
pose was the proper thing.

of them. The people demonstrated their
confidence in Senator Brown, and 1t will
now be up to him to prove to the people
that they were not mistaken.
Hickman Enterprise: Senator Burkett and
Senator-elect Brown came as near being
elected by a popular vote of the people as
II is possible under the laws OF our COM
monwealth. BY expressing a preference at
the general election, the choice Of the peo-
members Of our state legislature have no
other choice, when elected upon such
platform This new order of things Is quite
satisfactory. to the people Of Nebraska and
does away with such disgraceful contests
as were INDUCED in by cur lawmakers upon
certain occasions in years gone by.

the department where such robes are kept
and. brushing his way through the crowd
