The stand taken by Representative

luced by hlmaeli and others in tho
Nebraska legislature, at 'he cull of
dovernor Nevllh and the request of
the Board of Educational Lands and

from some parties. Mr. Thomas took
the stand that these parties Wi M
prejudiced becausi of persona) in

Wo received a marked copy Of the
State Journal, and have read with
interest ths article which purports t
be an interview with myself, or in
other words, l uppose the article pre

does not alter in any way the main
features of the lease which should
be corrected, and Which we not only
t- M you of personally, but wrote
you in our i letter a few days ago,
In the nrst place, public lands
should be disposed of In sttch s man
aer that all persons have an equal
right. This was noi done In the
leases herett fore Issued by the board
of public lan ls. and as you Well know
yourself that these rubs and regula
tions were adopted without the
knowledge of any one outside of a
few individuals, These contracts
Were entered into without any notice
! to the public, or w ithout any intent
of ever giving the public an oppor
tunity to protect their interests. Any
lets'- of this Bhai'OetBf should be ad
vertised in the county In which the
lands are Situated, and Mho leases
granted at the county seat, so that
all parties might have an opporun
