8 THE COURIER The editor of the Omaha Bee is having a good deal to say just now about the influence of the railroads in republican politics. An interesting chapter might be written showing the influence of the railroads in building np the Bee into a successful and prosperous newspaper. The writer of this chapter might go back to the day when the impoverished condition of the Bee and certain other considerations, induced Jay Gould to send Koscwatcr $ 1,000; and reference might be made to many other deals by which the Union Pacific and other railway companies were forced to con tribute thousands of dollars to the Bee. Mr. Koscwater has apparently worked the railroads for all that can be got out of them, and is now trying the other tack. Mayor Weir, after consorting with the labor element lor up wards of three years, attending their meetings, encouraging Coxey ism and catering to the labor vote on every occasion, meets the fate that almost inevitably overtakes the demagogue repudiation. The Lincoln Labor club will have none of him, and what's moie, he is severely denounced as an impostor. Notwithstanding the fact that the republican and pop state con ventions and the congressional conventions generally have been held, there continues to be considerable agitation in political circles. The meeting of the republican state central committee to be held in this city Tuesday night will be attended with much interest inasmuch as the organization for the coming campaign will be effected at this time. J. II. McCIay, among others, js spoken of as a candidate for chairman of the committee. Walt M. Seeley will not be made secretary. A rumor that thas been somewhat quietly diecussed throws some light on Mr. R. E. Moore's particularly earnest desire for the nomination of lieutenant governor. It is said that Mr. Majors, if elected, will be a candidate for the United States senate. Of course his election would make R. E. Moore governor. It looks as though there would be a a number of senatorial can didates among republicans. The list so far includes John M. Thurston, T. J. Majors, Lorenzo Crounse, G. M. Lambertson, L. D. Richards and A. S. Paddock. IN OMAHA. Mr. Henry W. Yates left on Wednesday for the west on a short fishing trip. Much sympathy is expressed by the friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
