D. , 1894 , for officers of the executive department , members of congress and the elmoice of electors as expressed for United States senator. Accompanying these scaled returns I also have the honor to hand you a tabulated - ulated statementof the foregoing votes as prepared by this office from the duplicate - plicate returns to the secretary of state as the law directs. " The method of canvassing time original returns is of a perfunctory order , the county clerk's returns being opened and the total vote of time county read. Then , from the tabulated statement prepared by the secretary of state , the speaker declared - clared the officers elected. A ripple of mirth was created when the speaker said : "I find that William J. Bryan received 80,000 votes for United States senator , but I do not find that he is elected.

Almost for I time first time in the legislative history of Nebraska the bills were read in full on their first reading. It has always been the custom to read the bills the first and second times by their titles 1 only. The innovation of a full reading on the day of introduction will doubt- less pall upon the ears of the senators l and will hardly be continued for a 1 great length of time. After the reading - ing of seven bills the senate took a recess - cess until 2:30 o'clock. At the afternoon - noon session Senator Ratimburn of Fur- nas withdrew the resolution he offered at the morning session relating to the t senate employes.

C THE SOUTH WILL HELP. t Train Load of Provisions to Nebraska f As a Token of Good Feeling and Brotherly - t erly Love. LNcor.N , Neb. , Jan. 4.-Governor I Crounse has received from Richard S. t Edmonds , editor of the Manufacturers' R ecord of Baltimore , a message which , goes to show how much interested the c people of time southern state are in r those unfortunates who have staked ib i their all on the chance of making farms b and homes in the territory which has f been so severely scourged by drouth. Governor Northern of Georgia has interested - terested the people of his state and the railroads to such an extent that even f the men who first suggested the idea 1 arc surprised at the results The : oath , s says the dispatches , will send to Nebraska - braska a token of good feeling and brotlmerly love that will demonsrat 6 that there is a close tie binding all parts 'i of the common country. The correspondence of Edmonds , who was the originator of the idea of the t south succoring the needy in Western t Nebraska , and Governor Crounse explains - plains the feelings of the giver and re- p c eiver , and is as follows : t Baltimore , Md. , Jan. 1.-To his Ex- b ellencY , the Governor , Lincoln , N- ' n view of the distress reported amoi. , ome of the farmers of Nebraska by reason of the short corn crop , and in view of the'abundant crops of the south , suggested in the last issue of the p Manufacturers' Record time desirability the people of the south uniting to S end at least i provisions to Ncbi. , ry - - . ' . . , tr. ) t it r a fi _ _ _ - to those who arc in want. I do not mean to intimate in the publication of this editorial that time people of Nebraska are not able to care for those who are in want in their state , but it seemed to me that the time was opportune for the south to utilize such an opportunity as this to show to the world its appreciation - tion of the blessings which it has received - ceived in abundant crops this year , its appreciation of the liberality which the north and west have ever met every call from the south for help in time of need , and also an appropriate occasion in which to put into effect forces that would help unite our entire country , obliterate all sectional lines and show that we are one people. As a southern - ern man , and yet above and beyond that an American , I believe that this effort of the south in so extending relief to the west would prove the truth in that "It is more blessed to give than to receive. " I have requested Governor Northern of Georgia - gia , and he has consented , to take charge of the matter and gather in at Atlanta whatever contributions might be made for the purpose of making up this train load to be shipped west , if the proposition meets with your approval - ' proval and the spirit which prompts it has your commendation. I should be very glad if on receipt of this you can wire me as fully as you feel disposed , at my expense , your views upon the subject. Answer via the Postal com- pany. RICHARD S. EDMONDS , Editor Manufacturers' Record. Richard S. Edmonds , Editor Manu- facturers' Record , Baltimore , lid. : Your telegram conveying offer on behalf of certain sections of'the south of a train load of corn and provisions for the relief - lief of drouth sufferers in Nebraska , is received. Although the state will be able to care for its unfortunate , yet the proposed donation will be thankfully received. On behalf of those for whom your generous donation is intended , I desire to thank you and to express my appreciation - ciation of and to reciprocate the kind sentiments contained in your message.

In order that this request may promptly reach every county , the press of the state is urged to give the same widest publicity. Reports should be mailed to Dr. J. II. Conaway , chairman of the house committee. " The Senate's First Bill. Mr. Watson of Otoe , secured the coveten honor of having Isis name affixed to senate - ate file No. 1.
