But Why a Special Election?
The Lincoln ( Neb. ) Journal explains
that if M Purkett should be elected
to congress in November, and then
elected totln- senate by the lenlslature
in January, he will reslnn his ineiner-
shlp in the house of representatives
March 4, w hen his term as senator will
henin. Then, according to the Jour
nal, a special election will be called to
choose Mr. llurkett's succosor as rep
resentative from the First district.
Put why should it lie necessary to
hold a special election? A special elec
tion in a congressional district Is an
expensive affair. Is t tie republican
party so short of material that the
members of the party and the people
generally must be put to enormous ex
pense in order that two conspicuous
honors may be conferred upon a single
individual? Why should not Mr. Hur
kett choose between the two honors?
If he prefers to be a senator,' why
should lie not step aside and permit
some other republican to he nominated
for representative? - World-Herald.

on election day will do as they express
themselves? How many, w ho are now
against Mickev, will stand upand vote
their sentiments and help swell this
-O.iiihi majority on election day? We
hope everyone who have so expressed
themselves will have manhood enough
to tin as they now talk when it comes
to depositing their ballot.
lr is a terrible pity that Theodore

not have any of the prizes which Car

became universally known that Lieutenant-Colonel
Iloosevelt was not "the

hill, and that Major Funston could not
swim and was towed across the Hag

are now Wing revised to tit the facts.

Will Not Gratify Tfjern.
F.veiy republican paper one
up now contains some little suibi
aWm Mr. Pryan getting ready to,
holt. etc. The leading, republicans of i
the country ate praying idgiit and!
day for a rupture in the St. Louis,
convention. In fact this matter is
worrying them more than it is the
democrats. Mr. Bryan has Wen c''i ,
sen by his patty ns one of the rleli -.
nates-at-largf from Nebraska to tbei
national convention, and is backed by
.iMuiu tieieauou iroin blsntltte. lie
will make a desperate effort to have
the principles ho so ably advocates In
corporated in the platform, or the
Kansas City platform adopted in its
entirety. He will labor hard in that
convent inn to this end, and if defeated,
we believe that he will acipilesce in the
decision of that convention aid
come out boldly for the successful
nominee.
This is a big country, in which the
democratic party can boast of a great
many able men. The St. Louis con
vention will contain many of the
leading democrats or the nation, who
will he there as representatives of t la
various states hi which they reside,
and the Journal believes there will be
a sutlk'ieiit number in attendance, to
guide the action of that body in the
rinht direction. We do not believe
any one or two men are going there
with a "rule or ruin" idea in their
minds. We Wlleve that wise heads
will prevail in the deliberations to the
extent of placing before the country
a candidate whose record is beyond re
proach, whose democracy is unijues-
tinned and who can command tin
support of Ids party.
W ill lain J. Bryan is one of the great
est, public men of whom this country
can possibly boast. He Is a gentle
man of whom every Nehiaskan is
proud. He is admired in every sec
tion of his native land, irrespective of
politics, for his manliness and great
power of speech. He lias Wen the
standard-Waror of the democratic
party in two successive campaigns, in
Initli of which he was opposed by lead
ing members of the party who should
have In en for him. In this matter he
was unjustly dealt with, and of course
has a grievance on this account, but
Still we do not believe that lie Isuoing
to that convention with any evil tie
signs in the way of "rule or ruin."
This is what the republicans hope for.
but gratification will not favor them
The editor of this paper has been,
and Is still, a gn at admirer of Ne
braska's favorite sou. We would
sooner see him president than any
one on the face ol the earth, but two
campaigns has fully demonstrattd
that he has too many enemies among
the leaders of the party for such a
thing to occur now, and no one per
haps knows it Wtter than himself.
We don't blame him for lighting his
enemies the man who wont Is a cow
ard. But right now is the time when the
people demand a change of adminis
tration, and they are looking forward
to the action of the national demo
cratic convention for a man whom
they can support. They are disgusted
with the party of trusts and the fig
urehead In the White House. Iu
brief, if the democrats act wisely and
nominate a man who can command
the support of a united democracy,
the republicans feel that he will be
elected. A harmonious convention at
St. Louis means thousands of republi
can votes for the democratic standard
bearer. Mr. Bryan will attend the national
convention to light for his principles,
as he has a perfect right to do. but to
Wit if the action of that body does
not suit him, as our republican friends
will have it, never entered ibis mind,
lie is too reliable as a democrat: but
will favor any action of the conven
tion that tends to wrench the reins of
government from the graspof "Teddy,
the Terror," and his coterie of cor
ruplionists, and relieve the toiling
milllans. William J. Pryan Wit? No,
never!
