- The Nebraska Election
The state board of canvas3ers has
completed its labors and The Indepen
dent is enabled to present the figures
showing the result of the recent elec
tion. One of the astonishing things
s. the fact that nearly. 7 per cent of
those who came to the polls did not
vote for any candidate for supreme
udge. or, if any of them did, the vote
was lost for some defect Averaging
the vote for regents shows that near-
y 10 per cent of those who came to
the polls did not vote for the univer
sity officers.. The vote follows: '

A republic forty miles in width is
a narrow proposition, but when that
forty miles includes tho shortest pos
sible canal distance between ' two
oceans the dignity of the narrow re
public is immensely heightened. To
day" the world regards the little re
public of Panama with an interest
and attention not accorded, any other
spot on the earth. The bloodless in-
8urrection, tho prompt establishment
of a government, the negotiation of a
convention with the 'United States
and the general recognition of the in
dependence of the new commonwealth
have followed each other with marvel
ous rapidity.. A big nation is inter

Barnes' plurality over Sullivan is
9,127; his majority over all opponents
is 1,138: he polled 50.3 per cent of
those Voting for judge, and 46.9 per
cent of all who came to the polls.
Allen's plurality over Weber is 24,-
234; over Jones, 21,784. Whitmore's
plurality over Weber Is 20,921;, over
Jones, 18,461. The average republi
can plurality on regents Is, therefore,
21,352.'
Assuming that the vote on regents
is a fair expression of party strength,
the following average would probably
indicate the following o the respec
tive parties:
Republican .99,938
Fusion ... . .78,586
Prohibition 4,979
Socialist 3,836
Judge Sullivan, therefore, ran 9,278
ahead of his fellow candidates for re
gent, while Judge Barnes ran 2,947
behind his. Assuming that Judge
Barnes loss went to Judge Sullivan,
there are still 6,331 votes going to
Sullivan which were not cast for
either set of candidates for regent.
When we recollect that in 1S93 Judge
Ilolcomb, running on an independent
populist ticket, polled 65,666 'votes;
and that in 1895, with no fusion, Judge
Maxwell polled 70,566, it cannot be
gainsaid that the effect of fusion has
been to drive away adherents of both
the democratic and the people's inde
pendent parties. For example, in 1893,
the democratic candidate for judge
polled 37,545 votes; combining this
with the populist vote gives a total of
103,211 out of a total of 181,606 cast
for supreme Judge that year. Like
wise in 1895, the silver democrat vote
of 10,079, the - gold democratic vote
of "18.636, and Maxwell's vote, give
100,281 out of a total 182.918 votes cast
for supreme judge. The republican
vote for judge was 72,032 in 1893 and
79.291 in 1895. In tho eight or ten
years the republican vole has In
creased about twenty thousand, while
the combined democratic and populist
vote has fallen off twenty-two to
twenty-flve thousand.
