KINK AID NOMI NATE D
On llic One Hundredth and “eventy
Nuventli ltallot
Tlie Sixth district republican con
vention wound up early Friday eve
ning by the nomination of Judge
M. P. Kinkaidof O’Neil on the 177th
ballot. The result was brought
about by securing the votes of Paw
son and Buffalo counties, which
added to Judge Kinkaid’s solid
vole of 79 made enough votes to
nominate. The other counties did
not get into the band wagon, al
though all voted to make the nomi
nation unanimous.
The contest lasted tor two days.
On Thursday 100 votes were taken
without lesult and on Friday morn
ing it became apparent that it would
take a united effort of the following
of all other candidates to defeat
Kinkaid. The Bieeman, Grimes,
Cady and Darr votes then consoli
dated and tried to make Grimes.
Falling in this they tried each of the
other candidates in turn. It need
ed the Currie forces to do the busi
ness but they could not be shaken.
The determination to make Kiu
kaid eauie during a 40 minute recess,
which was taken just after three
o’clock. Buffalo and Dawson held a
caucus and decided to end the tight.
They acted just in time to prevent
the Currie forces from going to
pieces and making Grimes. 1 his
had been promised, but was put
otl to long.
The tinal vote was one of enthusiasm
and speeches were made by Kinkaid
Currie, Bieeman, Grimes, Cady,
Darr, and Wall. The new central
committee held a short meeting after
the convention and Kinkaid was
authorized to name the chairman.
Judge Wall was selected as con
gressional committeeman for this
eouuty.__
G. M. Lambertson, one of tbe
leading lawyers of Lincoln Nebras
ka died in Chicago Sunday morning
at the Palmer house where he and
Mrs. Lambertson were stopping.
The news of his death was received
here with a shock as many of our
readers had often met and shook
hands with him and knew him only
as one of the ablest lawyers in tbe
state aud a man of honor and trust.
He was fifty-two years old at time
ot deatb. In December, 1878, Mr.
Lambertson was appointed by Pres
ident Hayes United States district
attorney far the state of Nebraska,
which position he held with distin
guished ability tor eight years and
two months, having been re appoint
ed by President Arthur. At the ex
piration of his second term of office,
in February, 1887, President Cleve
land tendered him a temporary re
appointment, wtiich he decliueii.
Since that date lie served for a time
as first assislcnt secretary of the
treasury having been appointed by
President Harrison. After retiring
from public life Mr. Lambertson
has been actively engaged in the
practice of law in Lincoln.
J. M. Snyder of Virdurette wnf
in the city Saturday. He came over
from North Loup and speaks of tin
growing crops along the way as br -
ing the finest he has seen for years
He says that he saw many hundreds
of tons of alfalfa in stacks, the
first cutting of the season, and
thinks that if the farmers of Sher
man county would get to raising b
more extensively that we would liavi
one of the most prosperous countries
the sun ever shown upon. In this
Mr. Snyder is right. Those who aie
raising alfalfa have been realiz
iug from £20. to £25 per acre from
a single seasons harvest. With a
reasonably good stand and auyttin
like a favorable season, three ou -
tings can he made in one season and
even iu dry weather a splendid yield
is assured Every farmer in Sher
man county should have an ullalta
field. If you cannot aflord a br»i

J. H. Mickey a farmer <>f Osceola
was nominated fur governor ou the
Thirteenth ballot. Mr. Mickey is an
old soldier aud a pioneer citizen of
Nebraska. The name of our nest
governor will be Mtckej. The light
on governor was one of the largest
ever made in the history of republi- j
can politics in the state and the re
suit was very satisfactory to the
delegates from every part of the
state, and ail of his opponauts
pledged their unqualified support to
the choice of the convention.
Mr. Mortensen, of Valiev Count)
was nomiuated on the first ballot
and the announcement of the vote
taken was hailed with shouts of ap
proval from every part of the audi
torium. His presence in the cam
paign had given him prestagu that
w;.s hard to overcome. Mr. Mor
tensen is one of the best, candidates
it has been the good fortune of the
republicans of this state to place up
on the ticket and his election is sure
and certain. The balance of the
ticket with the exception of I.ieuten
aut Governor was made up of the
present incumbants in office.
