Nebraska City Press: Commenting on the
success Of a certain coterie Of republican
candidates in Douglas county the esteemed
and truthful World Herald says It was a
Vic Rosewater victory" all OF which leads
our friend, Senator sorenson, to surmse
that It was a Harmony victory. which is
probably much nearer the truth.
o'Neill Frontier: II Mr. Harrington
turns his sixteen-inch gun loose upon MIR.
Hartman. the democratic candidate for rail-
way commissioner, there will be something
doing in democratic circles throughout the
state during the balance Of the campaign,
that will make the people forget that this
is supposed to be an off year in politics.
Rushville Standard: The last legislature
passed a resolution to hold a reunion at
the State fair. Twelve o'clock wednes-
day, September 6, has been the time Sc
leoted and the place to hold II in the
new live stock judging coliseum. This
will give our farmers a chance to see
what real Legislative looks like.
Kearney Hub: The row in Omaha over
the price OF ice has lasted all summer and
- SIN III hAObANsst WIN NIe lONdl lte mas
mates demanding rs per cent more than in
neighboring cities, according to The Bee.
There is consolation, however, in the
thought that Christmas is coming, when
the Ice man Ia a negligible quantity and
the ice magnate can use his rl-gotten gains
to buy coal for the poor. Watch him.
Alma Record: The handwriting on the
wall was plainly visible to the naked eye
in the election returns from Omaha and
Douglas county on railway commissioners
on the democratic ticket w. ]. Furse, the
appointee of Governor Shallenberger, ran
away behind Hartman, the Holdrege man,
and It is the general opinion that this in
dicates the attitude Of Douglas county
towards the ex-governor as senatorial
candidate.
Central City Republican: Now that there
is no immediate need of his deceiving the
people, Elmer J. Burkett ex-senator, has
thrown off the mask, and is one OF the
most rampant standpatters and anti-in-
surgents. However. while it is all plain
now there were few people who were de
| ceived by the straddling of Burkett an
Brown. The people have these big progress
sives properly catalogued, and have an eff
fective way OF disposing of them.
Beatrice ENpress I'VE are advertised by
our loving friends" Mike Harrington ex-
poses the railroad record of Mr.. Hartman,
democratic nominee for railway commits
sioner, but processes to be a firm friend
Of Mr. Shallenberger, democratic candidate
for the senate next year. But Hartman
and Shalenberger are so closely associ-
ated that an exposure OF the one reflects
no credit upon the other. Mr Shallen-
how fwta
embarrass him before the voters Of the
state.
Geneva Signal: Mike Harrington wrote
letter denouncing c. f. Hartman Of
Holdrege aa railroad capper and warn
| ing the democrats of the state not to
nominate him for railway commissioner.
The Signal expressed the belief that MIR.
Beebe Of Osceola would be the best can
didate for the republicans to nominate
Tor railway commissioner. Mr.. Hartman
was nominated by a handsome plurality.
Mr.. Beebe got only seventy-four votes in
this county. The pee-pul don't seem to
pay much attention to Mike and u.s.
Columbus Telegram: The most unfor-
tunate man in all the wide world is the
sore loser in the game Of politics When
he loses a political race, instead of accept
y
heart may be bleeding he thinks he must
carry his troubles to the ear of every man
he meets and the result is that he makes
the situation distressing to his real friends
and pleasing to his enemies All the world
loves a cheerful loser, whether 1t be in the
| game of war, love politics and all the
world is weary with the man who cannot
| play the game and smile
|
seems to have been hoist by it's own
petard'' whatever that means. Anyway
when 1t jumped onto Bryan for his crti-
cism 1t forgot that the information from
which he was speaking had been printed in
its own columns. Now, Mr. Bryan says
that If he was wrong the World Herald
was wrong first and he will correct his
statement as soon as he finds a correction
in the World-Herald, which won't be very
| soon, judging by the habits OF that paper
| in the past. During the campaign last year
he said that the World Herald was unreli-
able. This experience will not cause him
to modify that opinion.
Kearney Hub: From a condition of mild
hammered, maudlin sentimentallsm, the
Omaha News has developed into one of the
most vicious yellow journals In the
country, running a close second with the
Appeal to Reason, and stirring up passions
that can find logical outlet only in
anarchy or revolution. In the movement
for popular government, the News declares
that over all is the shadow Of the supreme
court" which must finally pass on the
questions as to whether government of
and for the people, is republican form of
government" The insinuation is that the
supreme court of the land will throttle all
these popular movements, and the sug-
gestion is so infamous that II may well
mako honest citizens shudder, It is so
sinister and suggestive OF things unthink-
abel Happily the supreme court stands
! between the demagogue and the constitu-
/ ton, between the mountebank and the
/ rock of the republic And when the last
| barrier is broken down, when the courts
are powerless in the clutch Of popular pas
/ sion or political clamor, the government
OF the fathers will have disappeared and
