The State Journal says Dr. E. B.
Warner, of Xorth. Platte, -who is
mentioned as a republican candi
date for delegate at large to the na
tional convention, was in Lincoln
yesterday on business- Dr. War
ner's political history has never
been written, but at present it is
interesting to know that he holds a
high place among the "original Mc
Kinley men," but he is not one of
those kind who are heard from only
when there is a show of success for
their chief. Dr. Warner was a del
egate frcra his district four years
ago and voted for McKinley first,
last and ali the time. He was the
only delegate from Nebraska who
-was not instructed, and therefore
he voted ot his own free will. 2Cow,
if the Doctor goes to the next na
tional convention, and things come
his way, his friends will expect to
see him doling out postofficesinthe
future. .

The republicans of Lincoln are
inaugurating a reform in nomina
ting methods. Thev have agreed
to adopt with modifications what is
called the "Crawford county Penn
sylvania system." This provides
for the nomination and election at
large of members of the council in
cities, and for the party nomination
of all city officers by means of a pri
mary election under Australian bal
lot rules. There is no material dif
ference between this and the method
contemplated by the present law,
other than it abolishes nominating
conventions. Qur present law only
authorises a plan for choosing dele
gates to political conventions. The
Lincoln plan nominates candidates
instead.
