(Chicago Times-Herald.)
For the first time in many years the
repuolicana of Nebraska will present a
united front to the enemy in the com
ing polical contest. The state conven
tion at Lincoln, which promised the
usual quantity of factional discord, re
sulted in enough harmony and vindica
tions to enable the party to pull itself
together for an aggressive and de.er
mlned struggle against Braynism.
That the party is preparing for a
campaign that shall be handicapped by
no factional bitterness ia evidenced by

of fusion was iu contemplation this
year.
"I do not believe," said Martin, "that
any such fusion is contemplated. Since
1890 the election laws have been so
changed as to make that sort of fu
