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.
