Hon. Addison S. Tibbets. True to the old Alliance demand for a non-partizan judiciary the populist party of Lancaster cou:,ty nominated Hon. Addison S. Tibbets for judge of the Third judicial district. Like many of our strongest, most intellectual and best men Judge Tibbets vas a farmer boy, born in Alegheny county, New York, having defended of oldCon neticut Yankee ancestry. Hegraduated from Cornell University hi the class of '77 with honors, lie taught school in New York and spent his vacations and leisure hours in reading law under the guidance of those eminent attorneys, Draper and Thornell of Sidney, Iowa, lie was admitted to the bar in 1880 and began practice in Lincoln in November of the same year. For eleven years Mr. Tibbets practiced law in the state and federal courts. lie prepared his cases with so much care and skill that he won the confidence of both his clients and the judges Ijefore whom he practiced. When Lancaster county was made a judicial district Mr. Tibbets was ap pointed judge at the rexuest of the bar association. Most of the litigation which arose out of the failure of the Capital National bank was handled in his court, and his decisions have given unusual satisfaction to all the parties concerned, Judge Tibbets will give dignity to the bench. His bearing is such and his de cisions so fair and just that even unsuc cessful litigants never have any hard feelings to the judge, who always con vinces them that he is trying to do only ' what he honestly beleivestobe just and equitable, lie not only has the respect of the bar but of everj litigant that has been in his court. He will undoubtedly be re-elected by a large majority. To Elect a New Chairman. The state central committee will hold a very important meeting in this city today. Judge Stark found it would be irapossinie ior mm 10 serve as cnairman and sent in his resignation. There seems to be a general desire that ex Congressman McKeigan shall take the place, as neither Mr. Wolfe nor Mr. Ulake can give the time required to make a vigorous state campaign. Any of the above gentlemen would be satis factory to thi w hole party, and w hat ever the committee does in the matter will be satisfactory. Mr. Elias Baker. Mr. Raker is known to almost every man, woman and child in Lancaster county as an ellieient business man, a model husband and father, a kind, charitable and honest citizen, who has taken an active part in every enterprise for the benelit of the county or city, or helping the working class to better w iges and a higher scale of living. In the tall of lS'.d he was nominated by the populist party for clerk of the district court and easily overcame the standard four thousand majority of the republican party. This jear tho popu list, democratic and prohibition conven tions all uominated him, and one the jepubhean dailies has been supporting him by publishing his portrait and giv ing very Muttering noticenof theetlii ieiit and honest administration of his oitii-v.

Will Perform His Duties Faithfully, Fearlessly and Impartially to all Alike. The correspondence between Judge Maxwell and the committee appointed by the populist state convention to in form him of his nomination was given to the public last Monday and is as fol lows: Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12, 18115.- lion. Samuel Maxwell, Fremont, Neb.,- Dear Sir: It becomes our duty as well as a great pleasure to inform you of your nomination by the people's independent party in delegate convention assembled in the city of Lincoln on the 2Sth tilt., to the odice of judge of tha supreme court of Nebraska, to be voted for on the 3th day of N ovember, next. 1 1 is also a pleasure to us and a Mattering testi monial to your character and fitness for the high position to state that your nomination was not only unanimous but was by acclamation. Ry your long services upon the supreme bench and by your distinguished character us a jurist, as well as by your unimpeachable private character as a citizen of our r.tate for so many years, you have en deared yourself not only to our own party but to a large majority as we be lieve of the whole people of the state without regard to party affiliations; and we, as well as the people generally, more as patriots than as partisans, turn to you and ask that you once more permit your name to be used in connec tion with the high office for which you have been named and which you for so many years tilled so acceptably to the people and with such distinguished honor to yourself. We are aware of the fact that you have not only not sought this nomina tion but that to accept it will be a great personal sacrifice on your part, but your hitherto loyalty to the people, and especially to the common people, was our on!) assurance that you would again listen to their voice and obey their call. Relying upon this assurance, we shall await with confidence your reply. J. V, AVolki:. W. A. McKeioan, SI las A. ll0l.Cn.MI!. . V. Alkkx. J. N. Oa mitiki.i.. Committee. II IK Al CKi'TANCK. F kkjiont, Neb., Sept, 2.'5, 1895.- J V. Wolfe, V. A. McKeigan, Silas A. IIol comb, W. V.Allen, J.N. Campbell, Com mittee. Gentlemen: Your communica tion notifying meof my nomination for judge of the supreme court as a non partisan, by the convention of the peo ple's independent party held at Lincoln on the 28th of August, 1805, was received on the 12th.inst., and has been duly con siderd. While I did not seek nor expect the nomination, yet I am urged by many members of all parties to accept it in the spirit in which it was tendered. A non partisan nomination as I understand it means that national questions are not involved in a mere state campaign, but only questions relating to the good gov ernment and affairs of the state, and the system best calculated to promote the prosperity and happiness of its peo pie. As applied to a judge it means ore who will faithfully, fearlessly and im partially administer the law to all alike without feeling, bias or prejudice and without regard to their political opin ions, nr his own. The supreme court is clothed with the sole power to try charges of impeach ment in cases where an otlicer has lieen impeached by the senate, and house of representatives. This is an unusual power conferred on the court, but was designed to secure a fair trial free from partisan liilliienceor bias. These duties, however, require the court to construe the law and determine for what of teiiM' an officer may be found kuiUv. The s'ute government is a great bust te institution in which many persons are employed, ai d many cuifru ts nmdr and siipphe (or the annus Iimiit utions purchased 'these rontruH and pur eh,le nf supplies if ;.t executed ill g'lod faith alturd opportunities for tin in,a.pi.eatiui. and .u.sappmpnaU..,, of ! public (ulids. l ie liii-iueii ii( the st at mutt I e ( olid ii led ofi blisllit--, pnnel plet ami the same derte of integrity ainl accountability required a in a nrst 1 1 " pnate bumnrst slubli-hmriil, a nt il -eeiut n nit tli" I'onrt "Void lit Hi it u the t tin! ird.

Very respectfully, SAMIK1. M AXW hi I.. Prof. George II. Walters. Geo. 11. Walters, the independent candidate for county clerk was born in Edgar county, III., Dec. 23, lstw, and. is therefore 211 years old. While Mr. Walters was yet only four years of age his parents with their family moved to Sullivan county, Mo. Mr, Walters received the rudiments of of an education in the country schools, and then attended the Kirksville state Normal and Smith's Business College, both located at Kirkville, Mo., where his education was completed. He adopted the profession of teaching as his calling in life, and it is but just to say he has made a success of it. I le has spent twelve years in the school room, seven in the public schools and five teaching in business college work. He at the present time holds the posi tion of principal of the business depart ment of Cotner University and was but lately elected secretary to the Faculty of the University. He is also clerk of the village board at Bethany Heights. There is no one in the county better qualified to Bene the people in the capacity of county clerk than Mr. Wal ters. And if the voters of Lancaster county, at the polls next November ch'.'ose him by their voles for that posi tion, they may rest assured that they will have an officer who will do nothing of which they will be ashamed. The Lansing Attractions. Mr. Church the manager of the Lan sing has secured a lino list of attracions for the next few days. On September 27th the Cleveland Minstrels will give their Bplendid show. On the 28th, the splendid all'air called the Tornado. On October 2nd, The Bowery. All these are performed by first class companies) and deserve to be patron ized. It it believed that the Lansing will Ie crowded for the next few days. No better shows will be here this sea son. Mr. Fred A. Miller. Mr. Fred A. Miller, the present sheriff of Lancaster county, was first picked out and nominated by the popu list party two )ears ago and afterward endorsed by the democrats. He was elected in a county where the republi cans have long had a majority of three or four thousand, and has so conducted his office that he has the endorsement of almost the whole citizenship of Lancas ter county. Nearly the whole of Mr. Miller's life has been spent in Nebraska. Coming here as he did at four years of age, he knows the state and its people and their wants as few can know them. In every way that he could, he has lent a hand to the amelioration of the hard condi tion of life with which most of our peo ple are surrounded, and to do so has be come a member of many f raternal or ganization. He has been true to the demand of the populist platform in the administra tion of his ollice and has . executed its duties fully, faithfully and economical ly. So hontst and ellieient has he been as an officer that he has disarmed criti cism, and strong republican papers like the Call have given him the most unqualified endorsnient. The citizens of this county have been so often robbed by recreant officials, it would be strange indeed, when they have in Mr. Miller such an ellieient and honest one, that any serious opposition should be made to his re-election. The toe county county populist con ventiou meets at Syracuse on Oct. 1. A lot of Negrosand white men with Tom Majors in charge were holding a secrete conclave at the I.iudell Thursday night.

WALTEHS, Candidate for county c'.erk. Points In Politics. As the time for the county conven tion draws nearer there is an increasing amount of talk of the desirability of nominating, particularly for two of the offices to be filled t his fall, the strongest men that can be found, Most of the re publican candidates will have a walk away; but two of them will have to meet strong opposition. The prospect for demo-pop candidates is not at this time particularly encouraging, but watever may be done in the way of fusion, Mr. Miller.thepresentslierilf.andMr. Raker, the present clerk of the district court, are sure to prove strong candidates. As The Courier has before said these gen tlemen have rendered good service to the county, and are both as strong, appar ently, as when they were elected. They have been in a position to make many friends and few enemies, and they have been as adroit in this as they have been careful and painstaking in the perform ance of their duties. Republicans should not delude themselves with the idea that anybody cau be elected this fall. Such is not the case. If care is not taken in the selection of candidates for these two offices it is not at all unlikely that Mr. Miller and Mr. Baker will be left undis turbed by the election. '1 heseollicers so far as patronage and remuneration are concerned, are the most important of all county offices, with theexceptiou of that of treasurer; and the party to insure the election of rejuiblicans to these places, ought not to jepardise its prospects by the nomination of weak candidates. Courier, (Rep ) June IHfta. Hon. Georgo W. Berge. If thereis amaii on the populist ticket of whom the average American citizen should be proud that man is George W. Rerge. Like Lincoln, Grant and Gar field, he was a farmer's boy and by his own efforts has obtained his education ana risen to a station in life that com mands the respect of all who know him. Rorn in the state of Illinois of Ger man parentage, he inherited the studi ous, scientific temperment of that race of plodding scientists, who by patient study have done so much for the world. Mr. Uerce is eminently a student and thinker, and when his opponent refused to meet hirn m joint diricussion.the said republican candidate did a very wise thing to show the white Hag and then run away. On the stump Mr. Rerge is not only eloquent, but a speaker of great force and power. He was nominated by three conventions for county judge- the populist, the democratic and prohibi tionists, not only because the conven tions as a body, but every delegate in itheiu believed that he would make by fir the Inst county judge this county ever had. It often happens in this state that con ventioiis nick unthe very tail end of the bar and nominate him for county judge I to the great detriment of the business 'of that important court. The populists : have chosen for that position in Lancas ter county, one of the brightest and in isl scholary young lawyers m the I . . ... .. . . . i . l: i si lie. .Mr. lierge is lioioniyiuuy quail IUhI to fill this place but would be un honor to any judicial position in tins state.
