Tho Conservative, tho weokly jour
nal established by tho late J. Sterling
Morton four years ago, will suspend
publication after this Issue, thoro being
no longer a sponsor for the paper.
Judge Norrut Brown of Kearney is
being mentioned as a possible candi
date (or gubernatorial honors. Mr.
Brown made a raco (or congress (our
j oars ago against "Bill" Urreen and
wan defeated by but a small majority.
If tho country merchant would do
vote as much monoy and attention to
advertising, in proportion to bis capi
tal, aa does tho mail order house, ho
would have little cause to complain of
tho people sending away (or tho kind
of good he carries. Tho mail order
uiaa keeps eternally at it, and ho
spends his tlmo and money keeping his
businosi before the people. Kdgar
