Hobron Champion: The result of Tues
day's election simply confirms a previous
suspicion of the editor that the populist
pllments from tho opposition, but very few
votes. Fusion Is fairly and sqilRrely beaten
In Nebraska for tho second time, nnd by
an Increased majority.
Valentine Itoruibllcan: Wherever an clee
tlon was held Tuesday republicans were
the victors and in nearly every Instnnce
made Increased gains over last year. lie
publicans of Nebraska have triumphantly
carried the state by n declslvo majority and
therefore remains firmly anchored In the
republican column, whoro It resumed Us
former position a year ngo. In spite of the
persnnnl appeals of tho Into candidate of
tho fuslonlsts for tho presidency, tho state
ticket has been cnrrled by Increased ma
Jnrltlcs. Many counties that have not been
carried by republicans In the Inst ten or
twelve years have elected republican off!
cers this yenr, Indicating a largo gain
for the permanent voting strength of tho
party In tho future. Thero Is no doubt
now, that Nebraska will contlnuo to roll
up republican majorities so long ns gov
eminent of tho state Is properly conducted.
Tecumseh Chieftain; Tho majority In
Ihe stato Is much larger than was antic
ipated. Judge Sedgwick made a magnlfl
cent rnco nnd tho latest returns Indicate
that his majority will be 12,000. Tho liquor
dealers circular which was circulated
broadcast over the state ln favor of tho
fusion candidate really operated against
him and only served to Increnso Judge
Sedgwick's vote. Messrs. Ernst and Cal
kins,- the candidates for regents of tho
university, wore nlso elected by handsomo
majorities. Tho days of Ilryanlsm nnd fu
sion control In Nebraska are apparently
gone forever.- Many counties which tho
fuslonlstB havo cnrrled for a number of
years wont republican this year by good
majorities. Tho votors of Nobraska and of
tho entire north have reached tho conclu
sion that republicanism Is tho only safe
