Bi the by , is it not a little unusual
for a republican to announce his candi
dacy in a bourbon sheet , subject to the
decision of the republican convention ?
THE boys all over the state seem to
be giving the field for Secretary of State
over entirely to Gr. L. Laws. Or does
modesty prevent the mention of other
candidates.
THE TRIBUNE was pleased to form
the acquaintance of Dr. Knapp of York ,
the first of the week. The doctor ia
York county's favorite son for the im
portant office of governor , a position the
gentleman is eminently qualified to fill.
.ONE of Furnas county's senatorial
candidates , Captain J. M. Lee , was tak
ing political pointers in this city , Mon
day. The Captain continues in the faith
that the battle will be bis , while Sena
tor Dolan retains a firm hold on matters ,
iind feels confident of the result In
the meantime Bro. Lindsay feels very
comfortable over his chances as the
coming "dark horse. " Soon the merry
war will be over , and the result known.

JUDGE GOBB of Lincoln would not be
objectionable to the majority of the
people of the state as Van Wyck's suc
cessor in the TJ. S. Senate. The judge's
sound , clear intellect , and straight-for
ward , manly character would make a
wholesome change from our present
blatant demagogue.
THE smile of the average Trentonite
can only be measured by degrees , since
the late county convention in Hitchcock.
While Strattonites are filled with worm
wood and gall over their defeat. One
of the prime requirements of the'poli
tician is to know how to take defeat
gracefully ;

] 879 , provide that homestead settler ?
who make ADDITIONAL or NEW home
stead entries under authority thereof ,
are required to reside upon and cultivate
the land embraced in such additional 01
new entries for at least one year.
2. The , present act dispenses with the
requirement of residence and cultivation
upon and of the tracts embraced in
ADDITIONAL entries made under the
former acts. Such ADDITIONAL entries
can be made only upon tracts "adjoining
the land embraced in the original entry. '
3. The requirement of residence and

Received August 19 , 1886.
CUTTING is out of jail and once more
upon his native heath. Medina , the
Mexican whom he 'had libeled , having
waived his right to a civil suit for dam
ages , the court held that the proceed
ings were thereby ended , and Cutting
was given his freedom. An imprison
ment of two months having apparently
moderated his temper , he accepted the
decree , but not without a little show of
bravado in asking a copy of the decree
"for future use. " This , of course , has
reference to a demand for indemnity.
Cutting after regaining liberty , went
with a number of Americans , including
Consul Brigham , to the Casino , where
his demonstrations nearly got him into
further trouble. Being regarded as an
agitator and a dangerous character , he
will not be permitted to remain on
Msxican soil. Bee.
LEANDER , GERHARD of Columbus ,
since Senator Paul's virtual downfall ,
seems to be coming up in the scale of
importance as a gubernatorial candidate.
Mr. Gerrard is one of the best men in
the race and the people of Nebraska
might do far worse in the selection of
their candidate for the chief office in
their gift. His clean political record is
supplemented by a pure character and
a clear head.
