It any person offering to vote is challenged by one of the inspec tors of election or by an elector as de fined by these rules, the inspector shall tender him the following oath or affirma tion: "You do- solemnly swear (or af firm) that yon are a citizen of tlie United States (or have declared your in tention to become such) that you have been a resident of tbe the state of Ne braska for the past six months and of tbe county of Bronx for the last forty days, that you have attained the age of twenty-one years to tbe best of your knowledge and belief, or that you will possess tbe foregoing qualifications of an elector at or before the next general election, and that you have been a resi dent ot this precinct for tbe last ten days, and that it is your purpose and ntetttioo to vote at tbe next general election next succeeding this primary, for the candidates of the republican par ty, who have already been or who may be nominated bv a national, state, dis trict or county convention or by a pre cinct caucus, and that at tbe last gen eral election you voted for such nom inees.

II any person challenged shall refuse to take tbe oath or allirmation hereinbefore pro vided for, his vote shall be rejected, a H. Jokes, L. J. Simmons, Secretary. Chairman. A report has been sent out to the ef fect that President Harrison has mii he would not be a candidate f a second term. It i generally considered to be an unauthorised statement. Hon. A. H. Connor, of Kearney, ia ing talked of by his friends as ft date for governor, but be has not yet said he would attempt to get the aoroi natiou. If G.-n, Connor desires to come before trie copvention let him get in line so that voters can look at him. This is not the year for dark horses ia Nebraska politics, The work of the prohibitionists is be ing met by active work on the part of the business men of the state who are organizing to oppose tlie measure. The indications are that the Turner letters will prove a boomerang for tbe amend ment agitators for the masses see little difference between a newspaper being paid for publishing and an orator being paid for talking. 7iSewd .

Seeratary. On Saturday, R. W. Windsor stated to the republican county central commit tee tliat tlie committee of which he was secretary was composed partly of demo crats, and on Monday lie went to Chad ron to prepare to take a position in the Alliapce land office. We wonder how he will explain to his superior officer how he is entitled to a position under s. straight republican officer after the sUite ment he made Saturday. Mr. Windsor may be competent to fill the position, but such appointments will not tend to strengthen the republican party in this locality. The demand of the voters of Nebraska that good men be slected for state offi cials is demonstrating tlie fact that the state contains plenty of good men w ho are not at all afraid of having tlieir rec ord examined by those at whose hands they seek favors. Under the present ex isting circumstances no man whose rec ord is not good will dare let his ambi tions be known and tbe outlook for"dark horse" candidates is unusually gloomy. The rank and file of tlie republican par ty want to know who tlie men are in whose hands they are asked to place the affairs of state, and woe to the aspirant to office who dares deceive them. There is a fight among the republ icans of of Louglas connty. One side is bead ed by Oen. Paul Vandervoort and the Other bv Hon. E. Rosewater. In order te have some objective point for con certed action" the latter faction got up a request to t r. 8. D. Mercer U permit tlie use of his name as a candidate for governor and the request was granted. Vt. Mercer is one of the most highly re spected and wealthy citizens of Omaha, and is reported to be clean and honorable and if he goes into the race lie will carry considerable strength, unless the predic tion of those who have been waUihing tbe matter comes true. That prediction is either a divided delegation or a double header to the state convention. As luouglas county casts 69 votes in tbe state convention, a split would produce a peculiar state of all air. T fioTera BeMie Prlauriet.

ZiO-C iImIiwh fbt ostjr - The answers to tbe Turner letters re garding the publication of anti-prohibi tion matter in various newspapers of Nebraska is calling out a good deal of comment. Some of the fraternity who were caught in tbe trap appear to think they were imposed upon and tbe prolu biUooists seem to think they did a "cute" thing, it looks to us as if it was about a fcland-otf. Tbe prombiUomsts stooped to misrepresentation aod decep tion, and a number of the newspapers made otters to accept cold cash tor the use of their ooluiuna in opposing tbe pro hibition movement. Many ot tue papers bad already expressed themselves as op posed to Um amendment aod the oppor tunity to at Uk kiud ol argument Uiey waaittd aod at the same time get paid for it was just tbs kind of a chance Ussy were looking for. It is on the saiue plan of advertising followed by a great UiaiiV business men. it is noticed dur ing slate lair, county lair and expose Uim time that the papers have a great deal to say of certain men or iiruis u their sxhtuts while others are not men tioned at all and the majority of tbe readers wonder why John Soiita is pulled in the pa per and Jooes aoaJmclw ignored when Um hitter are far mora en titled to Bottos. ll the wars permitted to look over tbe books of tbs newspaper Umt would soon learn tbs reason, list sditor has to be paid for advertising aod Smith wilt put up while Jooss and Jinks will BOW Xv-J 4t ss Bsswriss- bf -'i-';a mi sflr v . - at tig 'iCemoMto bt Itj tdi Cib Qktszit. -A aartaia oora for Claroalo ten Ejaa, S3.

When tlie matter was before tlie house, Congress man Connell voted for it and Congress men Laws, and ixirsey voted against. The silver bill is not a party measure. it is a question between Uie debtors and creditors in the United States. To quite an extent the east represents the creditor class and the west tbe debtor class and every western man who opposes Uie free silver coinage opposes tbe prosperity of those who sent luiu there. It is hoped that the eutire delegation from the west will exert every eltort to secure free sil ver coinage as it will do more to assist tbe people of tbs west than any .other measure which bos been proposed, it is sale to predict that those who opposed the measure will be invited . to stay at home after the expiration of their pres ent term of office. t'satrfitlansl FlgaMs, Inter Qeeaa. The apportionment of congressmen to population, as made by the act of March 1H3, is one repweeoUtive to every 151,- 12 people. The state of Oregon cast M, iM votes for its single represeata tivs in tlie fiftieth congress, so that, as five women and minors generally are represented by one voter, the solitary congressman from Oregon is charged with the interests of about a quarter million of nenple. But, however this may be, tlie fact is that it took tlie act ion of 54, 26 voters to secure the elec tion of one republican congressman from Oregon. It took only 27,475 votes to se- j cure the election of ten democrats from Georgia. In Georgia each congressman represents 2,747 votes. In Oregon one congressman represents 54,266. This is not an exceptional condition. Tlie aggregate vote cast for all the con gressmen returned by the states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia and Lou isiana in 1888 was 250,811; tbe number of congressmen from these states is thirty. Every one of these was elected as a democrat But in Indiana it took 461,987 votes to elect no more than thir teen congressmen, of whom nine were democrats. In Kansas it took 2i 1,01 votes to elect seven congressmen. Thus 'ndiana cast nearly twice as many votes for the election of thirteen congressmen as the coniinnea states oi umisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina ciist for the election of thirty; and Kan sas cast more votes for the election of tier seven members Uian tlie four chief states of the south cast for the election of their thirty. This does not look like government by a majority of tlie people. Something is wrong where less than a tenth of tlie persons entitled to vote are recorded as not voting for congressmen, and figures prove this to be tlie condi tion in Georgia. Either thousands of votes actually cast are not counted, or thousands of voters are intimidated from aparing at tlie polls, or the ig norance of the people is appalling. If nine men out of every ten qualified to vote for congressmen voluntarily ab stain from voting one of two conditions may tie predicted with certainty: either tlie right of speech is so trammeled as to prevent tliat discussion of affairs which inevitably leads to political excitement, or there is such general ignorance as dis cussion cannot enlighten. Either condi tion is disgraceful to the "Empire State of tbe South," and one of the conditions must exist. It is tbe former. Free speech does not exist in Georgia; there fore free voting cannot exist. There are not less than twenty con gressionsl districts of northern states in every one of which a larger vote was cast for the election of a single congress man than was polled for the election of ten "representatives" from Georgia, not one of whom does represent the people of his district, but only the oligarchs who bad tricked of frightened nine teuths of the voters out of tlie right of suffrage. Figures such as these prove a national election law to be a national necessity. . orriMAL piwbxtowv. stats omcKBi: Jobs M Thayr. Coreraor. Uaaola. Bh- Gee. P. M4kJjoha Ussrfnaat Governor B.

The action of Uie Interior department withdrawing practically all the unoccu pied territory of Uie United States, for a little time created a good deal ot anxie ty. It includes twenty counties of Ne braska. Tbe western senators have tbe matter in hand and it is likely that relief will be provided in a very short time. As the order now stands it will prevent any enteries being made and also iuvali date all enteries made since August 2, 1888. No fears need be entertained as Uie rights of Uie settlers will be pro tected, aod Uie action of Uie department of the interior was evidently for the pur pose of calling the matter up. The following item, clipped from the Ft. Madison, Iowa, Dtmucrat, contains information well worth remembering: "Mr. John Roth of this city, who met with an accident a few days ago sprain ing and bruising his leg and arm quite severely, was cured by one 50 cent bot tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm." This remedy is without an equal for sprains and bruises and should have a place in every household. For sale by C. H. An drews.
