surprise on the politicians of the state
this afternoon by filing as a republican,
candidate for governor, accompanying the
filing with a receipt for the primary fee
from the treasurer of Gage county. New

Of the politicians, but inquiry developed
that he is in the mercantile business at
Wymorc and has been so engaged for
several years. SO far as known he has
never held OF aspired to any office on
previous occasions.
The only thing which throws any light
on ,he filing beyond the letter which ac-
companies It the fact that he is interested
in business with Adam McMullen, former
representative in the legislature from
Gage county and at one time an active
candidate for the speakership of the
house. Friends of Governor Aldrich as
sert that at that time the governor was
in the senate, but that McMullen charged
him with being unfriendly TO the Gage
county mans aspirations. Newton is
alleged TO be anti-county optionist.
His letter accompanying the filing is as
follows:

The temperature appeared to have
depressing effect upon matters political
in the capital city today. The mails were
late and even when they did arrive they
betokened the same condition of affairs
out in the state. There is every indication
that political ambitions are alternating,
