CDARKS Neb., Oct. 8.-(Special )-Gov-
ernor George l.. Sheldon was the principal
speaker at a splendid republican meeting
here Monday evening. The people OF Clarks
and Merrick county have felt the warmest
friendship for the governor ever since his
first visit here two years ago. Under the
direction of the Young Mems Republican
club excellent arrangements were made for
the governors meeting and he carried out
his part of the program to the utmost sat
isfaction of the audience. The opera house
was packed, Notwithstanding Indictment
weather, the only conclusion possible being
that Sheldon possesses the absolute conf
dence of our people. The governor reviewed
the work of his administration. proving be-
yond any question the record is one to
which no material exception can be sue
cessfully taken.
On the contrary the people are only con-
firmed in their belief that the record Of
the present state administration in all de-
partments is a record of the faithful per-
formance of duty. The weakness OF Mr..
6hallenberger's position on bank guaranty
was shown n the emptiness of the demo-
cratic criticisms Of the revenue law. Force
fully commenting on the so-called issue
Shall the people rule? ?" the governor said
we have a right to expect the party formu-
lating that issue to nominate for office
men who have records for favoring popu-
lar legislation. But while the democratic
platform Of 1906 pledged the party TO the
direct primary and other reform measures,
only a few of the democrats Voted for these
laws. And when the time came to make
nominations for congress the democratic
party rewarded not the few faithful ser
wants of the people. but instead men like
Senator Latta, who voted against these
popular measures In the legislature.
The Central City Glee club furnished
some rousing campaign music. Short ad-
dresses were made by Senator King and
George Beardsley. nominee for representa-
tive.

state administration pointed out in a
convincing manner the weak points in
several planks Of the democratic plat
form and compared the prosperous times
during the last twelve years of republi-

Cleveland administration, He made a
telling and eloquent address and was sc-
corded the closest attention. Mr.. 4. r.
