LAWS WILL BE BEHOMHf ATED.
To the Editor of The State Journal.
Having just completed a busi
ness trip that carried me into the
most of the counties of the Second
congressional district , and feeling
at all times a lively interest in mat
ters political , I took not a little pains
to inform myself as to the situation
while there. My conclusion is
that Laws will be renominated and
this conclusion is based largely on
the fact that the people of the dis
trict are reasonable and believe in
fair play. They know him to be
an honest man , true to his convic
tions of duty , and that he has
worked conscientiously and hard
to serve them in matters of legisla
tion. They realize the fact that
under the most favorable circum
stances , the matter of settling 200
post-office and many other appoint
ments in the district , was extreme
ly difficult and embarrassing , and
as there were in all cases many as
pirants , there was sure to be many
disappointed , and it is the disap
pointed aspirants that in all par
ties usually make up the body of
kickers. The people understand
that for a year business had , owing
to the sickness and death of his
predecessor , accumulated to such
a degree that the most extreme dis
satisfaction prevailed in all parts
of the district , and a year's strife
for possession of the post-office
appointments had engendered a de
gree of bitterness among the sup
porters of rival aspirants that the
unsuccessful side immediately
transferred to Mr. Laws when in
the line of duty he settled the mat
ter as to whom should be appoint
ed. Those holding pledges from
Mr. Laird seemed to think that Mr.
Laws was in duty bound to care
for them , regardless of all other
considerations , * and as this could
not in all cases be done , the list of
kickers grew. The people under-
standthatthey themselves are whol
ly at variance as to just what legisla
tion is needed or desired , and how
utterly impossible it is for any
congressman to suit all of a con
stituency that is of itself divided
on the leading issues which con
gress is now trying to settle.
There is a disposition among those
who are looking forward to becom
ing candidates after a reapportion
ment and redisricting to concede
Mr. Laws another term rather than
to send a new mau at this time ,
and this , together with the fact
that they hope , if successful once ,
to receive the courtesy of a second
term is favorable to his reuomina-
tion , and I think it doubtful if
when the convention meets there
will be found any one willing to
contest the nomination with the
man who through the heat and dis
comfort of midsummer remains at
his post of duty , working early and
late for the people whom he rep
resents , rather than to come home
and enter into a strife for self , and
who , by all the traditions of his
party , should be given a second
term by the unanimous vote of his
party in convention and at the polls.
Nebraska crops are in pretty
fair condition , taking them all
around. ! The oat crop was light
and a failure in some localities.
The wheat crop developed rapidly
at the last in many parts of the
state and will make a good yield , I
the harvesting being about com
pleted. Another heavy corn crop
has been started and if the weath
er continues favorable , a yield fully '
up to the average for the state will (
be made. The season is about two c .
iveeks later than usual. Falls City

A conference of prominent re-
Dublicans was held in the city to-
lay. In addition to the local gent
lemen present , the following were a
lere from over the state : J. E.
Cochran , McCook ; Jules A. Denrp-
ter of Geneva , N. V. Harlan of
fork , J" . J. Steadman of Omaha ,

mith , managing editor of the Eev

The "Goosetown Banner's" sol-
ntude for Congressman Laws , last
all , is explained by the fact that p
ie was an applicant for the McCook < j
and office. His vindictive opposi-
ion to Mr Laws , this fall , is ex
plained by the fact that his pre-
umption was rebuked. Mr. Laws
rill get Bed Willow's delegation , t
ust the same.
The republicans of Hayes counc
y at their convention , Monday of
his week , renewed their allegiance j
o Congressman Laws by selecting c
solid delegation in his support

Acting upon The Tribune's
kindly suggestion in last week's
issue , the democracy of the 67th
district have brought forward John
S. Hughes as their legislative can
didate , through their organs the
Hayes County Times and Benkel-
man Democrat That is right
Follow The Tribune and your at
tire will be silk and you will wear
diamonds , etc. , etc.
Ananias of the "Goosetown Ban
ner" never forgives one who re
fuses his presumptious demands.
Congressman Laws failed to de
liver him the Eegistership of the
McCook land office , and his warm
support of the Congressman , last
year , was quickly changed to a
Lbgnanta ndmendaciouf warfare
onMr.Lawsthiscampaign. Bish
op will die a victim of his own ven
om one of these days.
Sen. Burton of Orleans pulled
our latch string on Tuesday. The
Senator has shied his castor into
the Gubernatorial arena and , if he
does not greatly mistake the signs
of the times , will corral a large
number of the Eepublican Yalley
votes , and have his share of dele
gates through other portions of the
state. Mr. Burton is an old settler
and served as chairman of the Ee
publican State Central Committee ,
State Senator and other minor po
sitions. He is a man of good
judgment and much political sa
gacity and will , as the turf men
would say , give his competitors a
"horse race. " Crete Vidette.
THE FIRST IN THE FIELD.
Pursuant to call a peoples' conven
tion was held at Indianola , last Satur
day , and a ticket was duly placed in the
field. The major portion of the dele
gates were on hand , Friday night , and
at the caucus held then , and it is stated
as having been warm and lengthy , the
slate was virtually made up , the con
vention on the morrow simply ratifying
the work of the caucus in a formal way.
J. B. Teas was the presiding officer and
F. G. Stilgebouer , Secretary. In the
forenoon the convention organized in
usual form and adopted the platform
promulgated from state headquarters ,
after which an adjournment was taken
for dinner.
Keassembling at one clock , the del
egates set to work in a perfunctory way
to place in nomination a county ticket.
It was smoothly and expeditiously done
and resulted as follows :
For Representative ,
A. C. MODI of Coleman Precinct.
For Treasurer ,
GEO. W. BURT of Indianola precinct.
For Attorney ,
SIDNEY DODGE of Gerver Precinct.
For Commissioner , 1st District ,
S. S. GRAHAM of Beaver Precinct.
For Commissioner , 3rd District ,
ISAIAH BENNETT , of Lebanon Prec.
The nominees each made neat , but
brief speeches , expressing with marvel
ous unanimity their surprise at being
called upon to serve their country in
the various offices , stating their sym
pathy with the movement and their will
ingness to sacrifice their personal inter
ests for the public weal.
The closing business of the conven
tion was quickly performed : A. Utter ,
T. M. Clark , J. F. Helm , S. W. Stilge-
bouer , Sidney Dodge , I. W. Spaulding ,
T. M. Smith , Thos. Teas , E. M. Pear
son , A. C. Teal , S. S. Graham , J. F.
Black , Chas. Collins , W. E. Rollings ,
N. W. Miller and A. G. Dole were
named as state delegates. The Coun
ty Central Committee was constituted
with J. B. Teas as Chairman and
F. G. Stilgebouer , Secretary , and dele
gates from each of the precincts.
