Il can surely sing there is sunshine in
my SOUL for all that I remember OF the
campaign, so far as my own contest is con-
cerned, is the good will expressed by thous-
ands OF men and women. most OF whom
i had never met. and the kindness shown
me by tire newspapers Of the state, republic
can and democrat alike l believe there was
never a candidate for office that received
such generous attention by newspapers Of
oil parties as 1 received at the hands of
Nebraska editors. The newspaper men will
never know what is In my heart to say
y 30 them. II should try to speak it my
Voice would break. If should try to write
Il my pen would falter. All l can do is to
say thank YOU; and this comes from the
depths of heart so full of gratitude for
high favors, so full of faith renewed in
the loving kindness Of men that there is
no room for sungs vain regrets"
