The following remarkable affidavit is republished t this time because it throws light on the character of two men who are now prominent candidates for ; the plaited States senate. The story of lpdling and treachery un folded ip this affidavit has no parallel in the llLuOry of corrupt politics in the west. Neither has the chief boodler the transactions described any equal Nebraska as an unprincipled and terly characterless villain. . j We have here but one chapter in the liamous history of this man.

That at that time the availability of A. S. Paddock and Albinus Nance asj candidates for United States senators was discussed by said Kimball and the defendant; That at that time this defendant in quired of the eaid Kimball whether; Paddock or Nance would be most satis-,;1 factory to the road, meaning the Union Pacific railroad management, to which Mr. Kimball replied, that Mr. Paddock had been very friendly to the road, but .might not be available as a candidate, and that Mr. Nance was a successful young man and the road might take' him as its candidate; That it was then understood and agreed between the said Kimball and this defendant that either Mr. Paddock or Mr. Nance . would be the choice of the Union Pacific rail road management for United States Senator and that defendant agreed to support either Paddock or Nance, but expressed a preference for Nance who seemed to be the preferred candidate of the road, as then express ed by Mr. Kimball; : That at this interview the said Kim ball and defendant only were present, was not present for wider developement.

That eaid Thurston at that time said, "We do business this way for safety, you Inow. It is a sort of guaranty" That at the time defendant gave the note mentioned in plaintiff's petition, the note for three hundred dollars above mentioned was due, and that plaintiff had good reason to believe and did believe, that said Kimball never intended to press the payment of the said notes and mortgage. And said defendant charges the fact to be that said plaintiff, Fred Nye, is not the real party in interest in the prosecution of this action, and that said Thomas L. Kimball is the real party in interest. Said defendant further says that the 6aid sum of twelve hundred dollar was intended as a payment for " political ser vices in the election of a United States sen ator, and that said services Arve been ren dered in accordance with the agreement aforesaid. Said defendant further says that the sum of four hundred and forty-two dollars mentioned in plaintiff's petition wa3 agreed to be advanced by said Kimball for.services of a political char acter, to be rendered by this, defendant in the election of a United States sen ator at the last senatorial election. That it was agreed that suid money should be applied in the payment of certain notes originally given by defen dant to Charles W. Dake and held by Nathan Campbell and EUsha C. Calk ins, his assignees for the benefit of creditors. That among said notes was one sign ed by this defendant and Alexander H. Conner and Francis G. Hamer aa his sureties; the face of said note was two hundred dollars and the interest and principal to this date amounts to two hundred and forty-three and 33-100 dollars.

Resolutions An Outline of the Week's Work. The Great Contest. The great senatorial contest of 1893 has begun. But how or when it will end nobody is wise enough to predict. Neither party has yet solected a cau candidate, and there does not appear to be much disposition to caucus until later on in the fight. Tuesday's vote was largely complimen tary, and can hardly he taken as a sure indcation of the real preference of the members. It seems quite evident from the vote that Powers would have a majority in the independent caucus if one were held now, and that Paddock would be the caucus nominee of his party. The general impression is that the contest will be loni; drawn eut; nobody seems to be cin a hurry. There must be one ballot taken every day, but there is not ikeiy to be more than that this week.
