ll. Dietrich was 800 below Mo-
Kinloy's vote. With both the
Saloons and Anti Saloon League a-
gainet him , Dietrich pulled through
with a thousand majortity.
C , 0 , Liud of Wayne township ,
carried bin district for supervisor
by 114 majority. Uf the five town
ships in his district , he carried all
but one. Ilia majority in Delight ,
was 42 , Grant 23 , Wayne 40 , Elim
0. Carr got 3 majority in Arnold
township.
We would suggest that it is
about time republicans withdraw
their support from the Anti Saloon
League , and herea'tor do their pio-
bibition work in their own ranks ,
at primaries , and conventions , and
cease to lend assistance to demo
cratic aid societies.
Senator F. M. Currio'a name baa
been mentioned as the probable
vice president of the senate. His
election to that position , would bo
highly acceptable to Iris friends of
this district end he would till the
position with credit to the atato
and with honor to himself.
Ed. Rosewater editor of the Boo
led all other candidates in this
county on the vote for preference
for United States Senator. His
vote 'was 600. But in justice to
the other candidates , it is but fair
to say Rosewator'a name was the
only one printed on the ticket ,
Preiidont MoKinley has boon re
elected to tbo highest position
within the gift of the United states ,
by the largest majority recorded in
history of the country , 202. Presi
dent Grant on his second term
reached the highest limit then at
tained in the electoral college , 280.

Ouster in the banner county in
the state for republican gains , in
the past four years. Bryan's majority
was reduced from 1,008 tc 11 , On
the vote for congressman Neville's
vote m 1800 , of 300 was changed to
34 for Kiukaid. Had other counties
in tbo district maintained the same
ratio for Judge KSnkaid , ha would
have been elected , as it ia Neville's
lection ia probable.but it will re

it.
There will bo a number of can
didates for United States Senator
in Nebraska from whom tbo logia.
latora will have to select two to
succeed Wm. V. Allen and J. M
Thuraton. Omaha furnishes four
prominent men who will attract
more or less consideration. They
are E , Rosewater , Ex-Governor
Cronnao , Congressman Mercer ant
J. L , Webster , with several loss
prominent , Assistant Secretary o
Wtr Geo. D. Mieoklejohn , D. E
Thompson , G , M , Lambertson , F

Ice have supporters.
Tlie Nebraska legislature socms
o have been captured by the re-
mblioane , so that on joint ballot
hey can defeat the re-election of
Allen and the proposed election of
Bryan or Hitchcock to the Senate
of the United States. Whatever
he republicans may do iu giving

tigh character and ability ub its

of congress , we are euro that it can.
not create a more perfect combina-
ion of strong intellect and rugged

t may bo that the people have do *
orminod already to send Moms ,
losowater and Thompson to the
Jnitod States Senate , and If the
egislaturo carries out the mandate
of the popular vote in that regard ,
very decent oitieen must ucquioaoo

ouators as long as they seem to be
loing honestly the best they caner
or this great and growing state ,
Conservative ( Democrat ) ,
Better than Wo Expected.
Since our insue last week , the
developments m the political oon-
est baa been more favorable than
we expected. MoEinloy , has not
only received the largest olectorial
vote given to aay president , but
us popular vote alee oxooeds the
vote of 1800. It was then OOO'OOO ,
his time U , is 70nOOQ,208 , a gain
of 100,208 over the vote of ' 06.
UcKinloy'3 vote in Nebraska iu
21,000 hotter than in ' 00. Then
3ryan had 13,000 majority and Mc-
Cinloy'a majority is 800. Two
roars ago Poyntor ( pop ) carried
he atato by 3000 , while this year
) ietrioh.trop ( ) carried the state by
about 1000. The rest of the ro-
mblican state ticket is elected by
1000 to 2000 The legislature is
afe republican. The Senate bus
18 republicans , and the house 54
uro , with three doubtful in both
he house and senate. Bryan's
majority was reduced to 11 in this
county , by the official canvas , and
Senator Currio'a majorty , increased
o 155 , and Judge Kinkaid'a to 34.
The republican majority m both
lousesof congress will bo increased ,
The vote on county division was
a surprise to both sides. Out of the
4754 votes cast there were only 1057
bvorable to division. This left a
vote against division of 3,607.
The opposition to division of
the county was greater than
the entire vote east in the
county two years ago by 300 votes.
This was more than was expected
oy the most sanguine anti diviaion-
isti , The vote ngaiuat division out
udo of Broken Bow township wat
3137. Thi * demonstrates that not
only Broken Bow ia oppoiod to the
division of the county but that the
farmer * , outside ot prospective
county seats are almost unanimously
opposed to county division. The
vote establishes another fact that iu
of great importance to every busi-
neaa interest in the county at well
aa its future welfareand that is that
Ouster county will never divide.
When men of capital are thorough
ly convinced of thia fact there ia
but little doubt but our rough laud
which ia not utilised but in a small
degree will be bought up in largo
tracks and stocked with cattle und
horses As a largo percent of our land
iu every locality is better adapted to
atook raising than anything else ,
U is only a question of time when
every acre of the idle land will bo
used for that purpose. Low taxec
and cheap land are two indiapensiblo
requisites for successful stock raia <
lug and with Ouster county undivid
ed both will bo assured With our
prehcnt territory and assessed valu
ation a aovon mill levy for county
purposes will bo sufficient for all
nooessory expenses with property
assessed at ono fourth of it aetna
value. With a republican board
that id pratioally assured. But
with the land now lying idle
utilised by stocking it with cattle
the necessary improvement tha
would be required on each ranch
the levy would be reduced to a
still lower figure. Cunter county
would not only bo the host county
in the state , but U would require los
tax levy than any other county

ism swept the state in the early
nineties. Custor county in 1806
; ave a majority of 902 Totes for
3ryau. This year it gave Presi
dent MoKinley a majority of 16 ,
a change of 1,007 rotes. In 1800
Lincoln county gavt Bryan a ma-
ority of 1480 votes. 'Ihis year it

votes , a change in four years ot 407

ioan party is fortunate. It has

last by seeing the counties where
populism had its bit th give repub
lican majorties. Their labor has
not been in vain. State Journal.

rect , except aa to the majority. Ous.
tor county gave Bryan in 1800.
In our tabulated atatmout of the ' 00
vote shows Bryan's majority in Cus
tor county 1,008 , and in the vote
this year Bryan' * majority is 11 ,
which makes a gain of 007 , This
is the largest gain in proportion to
population made in the state.
Qov. Fliok'a vote , in the county
is a high oomplomant of which ho
may fool proud , Owing to the un
certain political conditions of the
county , partisans wore afraid to
east very many complimentary
votes for any one. Under ordinary
circumstances , Mr. Flick's vote
would have been double or treble
what it was. His vote will probaly
reach three thousand in the state
which will bo sufficient for hit party
to claim a legal existence.
Let the word be spoken in load
acclaim , to the people of the east
hat Nebraska haa repudiated
iryanism and calamity. For years

wo have the reputation of being ro-
pudiatora and calamity howlers , ,
Japital nteored shy of Nebraska.
While other states have had a large
growth in population , the last ten
rears Nebraska growth has boon
ight. Now that Biyanism has
jeon relegated to the roar , and the
party of progress and buisness sa-
gaaity has boon intrusted with the
affairs elate , there should bo no time
est in proclaiming the fact to the
world. Write to your friends per
sonal letters ; encourage capital and
assure it that its investments will be
renumerativo and aafo. Tell your
rionds of our broad domain and
the inviting opportunities for stock
ranches , Tell thorn of the need of
capital to establish factories and
juisnoss enterprises , in our towns
and cities. Toll them that Broken
Bow the capital of the proud county
ot Ouster' needs a mamoth wagon
and buggy factory , to supply the
trade of Ouster county. Toll them
of the grand opportunity now ripe
for a canning factory ; the need of
a brick kiln , a plow factory , a starch
factory and of numerous other en
terprises , that might be established
to advantage to the promoters as
wall as t- ) the town 4 county. Under
fusion control Ouster county has
decreased in population , 111 the hit
ton yearn. This should not be. There
ia room in Ouatur county for a
milHou people without crowding ,
lu the next ten yeary lotus all wotk
together to gain ten thousand of
that number , a well as to increase
our stock ranches to 600 , there is
plenty of room for that number.
