MiltllASKA HAS
The poonlo oT Nebraska Imvo spoken
with no uncertain sound , The signal
defeat of Joseph Kdgorton for the supreme
premo bench , by n most decisive ma
jority , cannot bo misinterpreted at homo
or abroad. The iasuus in the campaign
that culminated in the election of Judge
Post wore not merely porsonal. While
Edgorton was confessedly iuoxporlonccd
in judicial duties , nnd was inferior
to his competitor as a lawyer , ho
stood as the exponent of llnanclnl
vagaries and impractical economic
changes. Ho was the champion ,
of unlimited paper currency sub-
treasury loanb and frco nnd unlimited
silver coinage. Tht was the burden of
all his speeches and those of every man
wliostumpod the state in his behalf. Inci
dentally Kdgorton was the defender of
the reckless extravagance of the last
legislature and the course which it pur
sued in regard to legislation that the
people had demanded at its hands.
On these lines the battle was fought
and won by Judge Post. The victory
belongs to the people of Nebraska and
cannot bo claimed as a partisan success.
Mr. Edgorton could have boon elected
by 60,000 , majority had ho received the
solid democratic vote. It is to the
credit of Nebraska democracy that
many thousands of its adherents who
take pride in the good name of Nebraska
and desire to see confidence restored at
homo and abroad in her unswerving
integrity , refused to cast thoirxvolos for
a champion of debt repudiation and
advocate of wild , socialistic schemes.
The election of Judge Post cannot ,
therefore , bo regarded as n more party
triumph. It is a declaration by the people
of Nebraska against the continuance of
the raid upon her creditors nnd the
vested rights of investors.
Prom a personal standpoint the elec
tion of Judge Post is a popular rebuke
to infamous slanderers who liavo sought
to defame and bcsmich him and degrade
him in public estcom.
A s\\'KKi'ifn \ \
The citizens of Omaha regardless of
religious or political creed are to bo con-
trraullated upon the outcome of tlio con
test on behalf of municipal reform and
good government. The cvclono that has
swept over this city was a popular up
rising against boodlorism , tax eating
and inconipetoncv. The people of
Omaha had boon arouted to the neces
sity of making common cause against
the combines of contractors and corpora
tions that have for years dictated candi
dates and controlled our elections. It was
the most emphatic protest that has boon
entered in this city through the ballot
box since the ignominious ovoi throw of
the Holly waterworks gang.
The swooping victory over the cohorts
of jobbery was made more easy through
the ballot reform law which aothtoned
the bosses and emancipated the rank
and file of wage workers from political
serfdom to their employers.
The lesson taught by the popu
lar verdict cannot full to im
press itself upon every man who.
holds a position of honor or trust
in our city hall or county court houso.
They must realize that a vigilant eye
will bo kept on each of them from now
on , and the man who does not walk the
Straight and narrqw p.ith is doomed to
speedy political execution.
It is impossible to ovorostimrito the
benefit that our citi/.ons will derive
from the crushing defeat that has over
taken the cohorts of tlio contractors.
It does not simply mean the clearing of
political atmosphere , but it means re
stored confidence in Omaha , and her
ability to protect taxpayers and foreign
investors from public plunderers , and
her determination that every dollar col
lected from taxpayers shall bo honestly
expended. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
MCKINL11 rS1CT011Y. \ .
Onio has 'recorded no uucortain ver
dict in favor of protection and against
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Those wore the issues upon which tlio
campaign in that state was fought. The
republican leader , Major McKinley ,
stood for his party not only in Ohio , but
in the nation , as the representative cham
pion of the policy of protection while the
democratic party made the silver ques
tion an issue by declaring in its plat
form for free coinage. State affairs re
ceived little attention and wore entirely
subordinated to the confederation of the
national questions which divide the two
great parties of the country. More dis
tinctly , therefore , than in any oilier
state the result of Ohio's election is an
expression of the position of the republi
can party on the tariff and the frco coin
age of silver. It will bo accepted
by republicans generally as indi
cating the predominant sentiment in the
party on these issues , and as foreshad
owing the atand the party will take in
the national contestof next year.
Major McKinloy's victory is consequently
quently of far more than ordinary Inter
est ana imporUnco. It is in line with
the precedents of the last thirty years.
Ohio hits had in that time but three
democratic governors , and none of
them served longer than ono
term , or was succeeded by
a democrat. Ohio has never during this
period boon carried by the democracy in
the year preceding a presidential olne-
lion. Her electoral vote has boon uni
formly republican from the time of the
election of the first president , nnd it will
bo given to the candidate of that party
next year. Quito as impqrtant as the
election of Major McKinley is
the fact that the next legisla
ture , which Is to elect a successor
to United States Senator John
Sherman , is republican on joint ballot
by a strong majority. The senatorial
succession was more or less of a factor in
the campaign , and boino time will
elapse before It can bo determined
whether Mr. Sherman or some ono else
will bo the choice of a majority ot the
republicans. It may , Indeed , not bo
known certainly until the nominating
caucus takes action. But at any rate it
Is assured that Ohio will continue to have
a republican in the senate of the
United States nnd if the sentiment of
the party throughout the country fan
exert any influence Senator Shormnn
will bo retained In thnt position , where
his services to the country have boon ot"
the very highest value , and whore his
wisdom and experience will be us inucli
needed during the next few years as
they have boon at any time sHico
ho first entered tlio senate thirty
years ago. The republicans of
Ohio Imvo done well. They have
shown what may bo accomplished
by perfect organization , able leadership -
ship and hard work , nnd those are nee-
cossary , however worthy the cause.
Their victory will bo inspiriting to re
publicans everywhere , and despite the
adverse results in other states will stim
ulate the party to prepare for the na
tional battle of next year.
A'BIP
The result ot the elections in those
states will surprise no ono who has
given Intelligent attention to tlio situa
tion in each. The defeated republican
candidate lor governor of Now York ,
Mr. FasBott , made a remarkably
vigorous and brilliant campaign. Ho
boldly attacked the corrupt Tammany
organization , nnd kept up the light
upon it to the end. Tie approved him
self an nblo and courageous loader.
But ho had to contend against the
unpopularity of Mr. Platt , and this is
no inconsiderable matter. Tlio vote in
Now York City shows that the light on
Tammany was clTootlvo there , but it ap
pears to have had little inlluonco else
where in the state and was ollsot by the
hostility to Platt , whoso political
methods are in disfavor with thousands
of republicans. It was perhaps unfortu
nate , also , that Mr. Fassott was taken
out of a federal ollico to bo made a candi
date for governor. The case of Mr. Fol-
gor was somewhat similar in 18S2 ,
the unprecedented majority given
for Mr. Cleveland attesting the pro
found resentment of the people at what
appeared to Lo interference by the na
tional administration in state politics.
Undoubtedly , however , tlio popular dis
trust of Platt had more to do with the
defeat of the republican candidate than
any other ono thing , or perhaps than all
other things combined. As little else
than questions of state policy wore in
volved in the contest , the re
sult cannot be regarded as having any
direct bearing upon the battle of next
year. It continues Now York among
the doubtful states , with the advantage
on the side of the democrats , but the'
country has seen the Empire State elect
a democratic governor at tlio same time
that it chose republican presidential
electors.
Massachusetts has broken away from
the precedents of thirty years in reelecting -
electing a democratic governor , and
such a departure seems to show
that a very decided change
has taken place in the political senti
ment of the people of that state which
threatens to put Massachusetts among
the doubtful states. The defeat of the
republican candidate for governor ,
Allen , will doubtless bo found to bo
chiolly duo to dissatisfaction with- his
nomination among the friends of Mr.
Crape , who was the preference of the
bettor element the party and
was deprived of the nomination
by methods not altogether
commendable. Governor Itussoll ,
who is re-elected , has made a capable
and popular executive , and as questions
of state policy wore most largely in
volved in the campaign the result is
merely an endorsement of the state ad
ministration , h.iving , therefore , no di
rect bearing upon the imlitic.il possi bil-
itios of next year. While , however ,
Massachusetts is still to bo regarded as
a republican state , the result of
the election suggests that it will
bo ground for active republican
effort next year. In the re-election of
Governor Boles the people of Iowa have
again rendered a verdict against prohi
bition. It will not bo questioned that
this was the real and vital issue Of the
campaign , and the popular judgment
again so plainly and unmistakably de
clared ought to convince the republican
party of the folly , almost criminal from
a political point of view , of its position
on this question. Republican adherence
to prohibition will inevitably make Iowa
a democratic state , not only in oIT years
but in all years , and if there bo any so
blind that they cannot see this they
should bo excluded from the councils of
the party. It appears probable that the
now legislature will bo in the coutral of
the republicans , which will prevent the
state being gerrymandered or Michi-
ganizod , and will also insure the
election of a republican United States
senator to succeed Senator Wilson. In
that caio the democratic victory will
lack a great deal of being decisive ,
though there can bo no mistaking its
moaning as a verdict against prohibi
tion. It is entirely safe to include Iowa
among the states that will cheese repub
lican presidential electors next year.
OUlt AKX.T MAYOlt ,
Mr. George P. Bomls has boon elected
mayor of Omaha by the largest majority
over given to any candidate for that of-
fico. Mr. Uomis has reason to feel proud
of this manifestation of popular con
fidence in his integrity , ability and lldol-
ity to the material interests of this city.
At no time in her history
has Omaha boon as much fn need of a
vigilant , onorgotio and devoted execu
tive head of her municipal government.
Mr. Ilomls is not a politician. Ho is
the creature of no cab-il or political
combine. lie has not sought the otlice ,
but the olllce has sougtit him. His
highest ambition will bo to servo Omaha
and merit the ustoom and confidence of
her bast olti/ons.
Our next mayor is in position
to do his whole duty without
detriment to his private inter
ests. Ho will devote his whole llmu to
the discharge of the duties of tils otlico
huporviso the alTnira of this city ,
and enforce ollicient and faith
ful hcrvicu from all his subordinatoa.
Conscious of the fact thnt nib triumph
ant election by an overwhelming m ijor-
ity signali/.od iho popular donund for
municipal reform , Mr. BomU will bu
responsive to that demand by
a thorough roorgnmztion of tlio
various branches of our city gov
ernment on a bu3lnues basis.
There will J io no pluco for imbeciles ,
dronurf or joqbfrfs titular his administra
tion. This 1 _ 3 wo understand It , the
programme Kfhk'h Mr. Homls has
mapped out for himself and every good
citizen should second his ollorts and
hold up his hands.
Ul'OS TllK DKA t , .
The vordlfcfVvof the people upon the
proposed furniture deal appears not to
satisfy the members of the city council.
That body hold a special session last
night with tlio purpose of finally ap
proving the awiird , now that it is fairly
certain the city hall bonds have been
voted. Failing to obtain a quorum they
adjourned until tonight and It Is pro
posed to complete the deal when the
council moots.
This transaction his boon a scandal
from the outset. It Is wrong In prin
ciple because the award is not made to
the lowest bidder. It Is contrary to the
best In to rests of the community because
the award contemplates purchasing
furniture from an outside firm
when the money should by all
moans bo expended at homo. The coun
cil should sot the example by patroni/ing
homo industry in preference to eastern
establishments. A homo bidder who
will employ Omaha workmen proposes
to furnish the city hall for $2,000 less
than the Toledo linn nnd upon every
principal of interest and justice the
homo establishment should have Iho
contract.
The revelations of the Investigating
committee have exposed the methods by
which the award was secured and the
cotincilmon who will now proceed prior
to the sale of the bonds to bind the city
lo this contract deserve and will receive
the condemnation of honest citizens
without regard to party.
TllK late ox-president of Franco M.
Grovy went to his grave in a cloud on
account of an unworthy son-in-law. The
gallant General Franz Sigcl suffered far
more from the wounds inflicted upon his
honor by an unworthy son. General
Green B. Ratlin's troubles in the pen
sion office at Washington are directly
chargeable to the peculations of a son
bearing his own good name. If Judge
Wakoloy is defeated , as Is entirely pos-
sinle from present appearances ho will
know it was chiefly bccauso his favorite
son curbed neither his pen nor his
tongue when ho fell into bad political
company.

tVhen I think of the days of my childhood
and yonth--
These days so long gonn by ,
When my heart uas llylit and my appetite
Rood ,
Anil I could eat squash pie ,
My hunrt tuiin sad as my thoughts steal back ,
And the tears bedim mv eyes
When 1 think how I loved and used to oat
My imjthoi's old squash pies.
When et and hungry , from play I'd come In ,
And put my boots to dty.
And hang my co.it on Iho back of a chair ,
And then begin to ory ,
When mv toes would ache and my stomach
pain ,
And I'd whimper , and fiot , and sigh ,
My mother uouul always soothe mo with
A piece of her old squash plo.
The old oaken bucket is dear to my lioait ,
And so K the old pl sty
That used to stand at t hound of the barn ,
NUJU to the lluld of rye.
Those aio dear , as I say , to my weary heart ,
lint I love to ooso | my eyes
And meditate , for a whllo at least ,
Un my molbci's old siju.ish pies.
Althoucb at times I am pained to think
Those cla > s are all gone hv ,
And the Min of my lilt ) liasliegiin to sink
And I'm almost ready to die.
I am cheeieil with the thought of my mother
dear
As I remember how feho'cl try
To southo the many pains of my youth
With a plecu of bur old -squash pie.

President Harrison refuses to bo IntOr-
vlowod on tbo result of tlio elections. Ho
does not , however , look upon the McKinley
llolo , with n heavy heart. Ho did not , at
any time , bollovo that national Issues were
Involved In any contest , except Ohio , where
the republicans waged war against frco sll-
vor ana sought to uphold the present tnrllT
law. In Massachusetts , the liquor , educa
tional and other state Issues overshadowed
every question and not n ray of light was
thrown upon the tariff or lliinnco. In Now
York tbo Mrugglo was In opi > osltlon to Tam
many rule , nnd the country districts sooin to
have lost all interest in the light. Uotliatn
made such Inroads upon tbo ring rule , that
the president , bellovus that Tammany anil
the domooraoy would have been wlpodout ,
had the country proi'lncts turned out nnil
voted ,
A hope was entertained that , Iowa workers
would bo aroused to an Interest In tbo tariff ,
but local affairs appear to hnvo thrown every
oltort to push questions to the front entirely
In the background. It Is boltoved that Penn
sylvania Is unco moro In the luptibUcan line
and will stay tlioro permanently.
Secretary Foster returned to Washington
nt 11 ; 10 this morning. Ho Is feeling line
over tlio election of McKinley and the legis
lature , nnd RIIVS that the outrageous retlls-
trlctlng of tlio stuto by the democrats a
couple of yours ago will now bo righted.
#
Republicans here from every part of the
country uro feeling well ever the result of
yesterday's elections. There was to thorn
but ono real .surprise and that was tut ) Ugh t
vote cast In the stuto of Now York. It Is
confidently bellovod there that bad the
country uistriuts turned out their full
strength or anything approximating it , Fas
sott would have been elected governor and
the legislature would have been strongly
republican. President Harrison , while de
clining to talk for publication , has freely
analyzed the gaucral results in pri-
vuto conversation with tils friends. Ho
sees republican victory wherever na
tional issues were involved. So long
as the republicans confined the light to
tbo state nnd national questions in Now
YorK , Fassott was far In the load but when
thov began to focus the campaign into the
form of war against Tammany , the most over
bearing and corrupt political organization In
existence , they bocan to circumscribe the
battle Hold to the municipal bounds of Now
YorK City , for , although Tammany is a curse
to tlio atato , the voters In the northern and
western portions of the commonwealth ap
pear to have not shown near so much Inter
est In tbu struggle against Tammany as upon
the tariff , reciprocity , silver or anv of tlio
general questions. They stayed ut home
in the country and the vote showed up light
where the republicans would have boon
strongest/ had the national issue boci < kept In
tbo foreground. In New York City splendid
progress vvus raado by the republicans , but
tbo light vote in the country lost them the
state. \ \ herever a congressman was to oo
elected or n national issue was directly in-
volv'ed , the presluctit and his friends llnd , as
all intelligent readers will see , material re
publican gains and success.
Ohio afforded t'no only neutral ground In
any of the states for a test of the tariff law
and silver question mainly because it was
the home of the author of the taiiff
law and thu oldest of our great financiers.
The tariff law was thoio eminently endorsed ,
and free coinage vetoed. Pcnimvlvania has
re-entered the lopublic.m fold and no repub
lican beto doubts that it will remain there ,
and no democrat has a lingering hope that t
will depart from its old path. The Issues in
Massachusetts , Iowa and Nebraska were re
garded from this view as most largely local
and personal , there being tbo liquor and edu
cational questions up in the former , and pro-
hlbit'oD ' or otbsr measures of local import
ance only in the latter two states.
Senator Plumb wrote here bomo days ago ,
that ho and others wore forcing national
issues to the front , and the result shows that
the work of the republican administration
has been endorsed in that stato.
It is the general opinion here now that Mr.
Cleveland will bo the democratic nominco lor
tbo presidency next year , although Mr.
Flower may take It Into his head to contest
for the honor and create a division in the
party which will augment or renew the split
which has heretofore existed between the
Cleveland mm Hill factions.
#
Senator Cullom of Illinois said tonight
that the election returns had no discourage
ment for him , although three democratic
governors had boon elected and only ono rn-
publican. lie did not look upon this result ,
as in uny wnv indicating democratic suc
cess or bearing upon tlio national election
of Now York. "In the three states whcio
the democrats have won victories , " said no ,
"thero was no contest ever national issues
mid the two democratic successes can't bo
regarded as of any national importance. In
Iowa , Boies had distinctly turned his back
on national issues and had made his whole
campaign on the prohibition question which
was distinctly local m Iowa. I am inclined
to think that there are n number of toinpcr-
auco people in Iowa who are rather tired of
the extent to which the prohibition idea has
boon earned and this sentiment , In my judg
ment , accounts for tbo success of "Hoies.
With this question out of the way Iowa is
naturally a republican stato. I do not regard
I3oies' election as anvtlung moro than the
local advantage of purely local issues. "

The State Board of Transportation mot tills
afternoon and considered matters relative to
the inspection of grain and the subject of an
overhead crossing on Butler street In Pawnee -
neo City.
Mention was made of the fact that the
chief inspector of grain had not turned la
any foes , mid the following resolution was
therefore presented by Attorney General
Hastings :
The chief Inspector of grain Is hereby ill
reeled lo turn o\erto and deposit with the
state treasurer all moneys collected for the
Inspection fund , nn provided by suction 10 , a ,
paguIlUl of the session laws , 1V.1I ,
Tills was unanimously adopted. Rule
thirty-seven was amended to read that "tho
state weighmaster shall on the first Wednesday
day of each month make out in triplicate u
complete , statement , ono of which ho shall
transmit to the Stale Board of Transportation ,
ono to the chief inspector and the third ho
shall lllo in his oflieo. " Formerly no pro
vision was made for n report to the bonid.
The application of N. S. Hurwood , J. H.
Ames , .T. F Harris and F. L. Harris of Lin
coln for a license under the state warehouse .
law was granted , The elevator has u capacity (
of b" > ,000 bushels and Is situated nt the corner
of Fifth and J streets , Lincoln.
The matter of the overhead crossing on
Butler street In Pnwnco City was then taken
up. Dilworth read the report of the secre
taries of tbo board , which recommended that
the Kansas City iSc Nebraska bo required
uierelv to construct the overhead crossing ,
leaving the city to construct the approaches.
This was done , as it was learned that a num
ber of persons owning property along the
proposed fill were watching u chance to sue '
the railroad companies for damages.
The legnl representative of the company
appeared bolero the boaru nnd said that tbo
company was perfectly willing to construct
the crossing , provided the city constructed
the approaches. City Attorney Lindsay of
Pawnee City urged that the railroad com
pany should build the approaches cud mnuo
a perfect crossing.
Action on the matter was deferred.
The Lisbon-Brandon matter was reported
on and the secretaries recommended that the
Lisbon station bo closed , as the town of
Brandon was composed of the citizens of Lis
bon , who found that their town was too close
to Grant and had started the town of Bran
don three miles to the west , and asked tbo
railroad company to inovo ttio station to the
now town sito. The railroad companv had
done this and wished to close the Lisbon
station.
The board acquiesced In the action of the
secretaries , and the station ut Lisbon will be
closed.
