at Inclinnola , Neb. , on the nth day of August

NEBRASKA republicans need noth
ing so imperatively as they do a
change of leaders.
JUDGE COCHRAN'S errors have all
been on the side of mercy. A fact
which is not hurting him very
much among the farmers.
GOT. THAYER will do until ' 92.
If Nebraska Eepublicans feel that
they must have a change , why lets
reorganize the state central com
mittee and unload a few bum
leaders.
THE Arapahoe Mirror announces
last week that whatever newspaper
notoriety the candidates may ac
quire through its columns , this fall ,
must be paid for the same as a
business man pays for his adver
tising.
WE betray no confidence when
we state that Attorney Morlan will
not be our next District Judge un-
5
less he secures the independent
nomination. He will accept no
other nomination under any cir
cumstances. He has not withdrawn
from the Alliance , either.
THE state board of transportation
contemplates making a ruling re
ducing the time (48 ( hours ) now
allowed for holding cars , while fill
ing same with grain , to 24 hours.
It is claimed that to facilitate the
handling of Nebraska's matchless
crop , this season , this action will
be necessary. Other more strin
gent regulations will be required
also.
JUDGE COCHRAN is one of the
best known public men in Western
Nebraska. He is popular among
all classes. He is an old pioneer ,
started with the country and grew
up with it. He is and always has
been identified with the interests
o the people. He shares their
fortunes and misfortunes. His
ability as a lawyer is undoubted ,
his fairness as a judge is beyond
suspicion , his honesty as a man is
irreproachable. The party that
nominates him will have no cause
to regret it. He is a winner.
CITIZEUS'vs. FARMERS'ALLIAHCE.
From the Mnywood Standard.
We do not wish to make this
question monotonous but it is the
honest belief of your humble ser
vant that this subject deserves a
rigid investigation and that now is
the time to make it. As the con
ventions draw apace we see the
croppings of deceit and malace
from the old parties through their
agents to destroy the prospects of
a man that has stood by the farmer.
I am in favor of the farmers nam
ing the men for office. It was the
Farmers' Alliance that championed
and won the first grand victory for
reform last fall. It is the Farmers'
Alliance to which vfe look for
grander results this fall. I do
not believe it is prudent to recog
nize the demand made by those
resolutions passed by the Inde
pendent Central Committee of Red
Willow county , for they certainly
signify something more than they
show up. They have the appear
ance of being a sly dodge to make
the nomination of some pet doubly
sure. The Farmers' Alliance has
no use for pets , lawyers or office
seekers. They do not need to be
subjected to iron-clad resolutions
to do the right thing. They .know
whom to trust their interests with
and will not stand subject to the
dictates of a junior order in mat
ters of vital importance. The Citi
zens' Alliance has not taken part
in an important campaign yet and
stands subject to criticism as much
as any organization in existence
until it proves by its acts that it
deserves the place it claims to oc
cupy. It admits attorneys one day
and seeks their nomination by the
farmers the next no matter what
they were previous to becoming
members of that order. If the
farmer accepts the Citizens' Alli
ance as a prop to reform I fear a
premature crash to the whole move
by the giving away of that one
prop. As the matter now stands
in this , the 14th judicial district ,
we have a Citizens' Alliance figur
ing to secure the nomination of a
lawyer and a politician for the-of
fice of district judge. Will the
farmers submit to such an imposi
tion or will they come to the front
and nominate a man they know to
be ready to stand between them
and mortgage foreclosures when
they are unable to meet the interest.
T -nQQrl nr f. Tinma 4Tia man flmf. Tina
nerve to do that godlike act for
helpless humanity , for it is already
a familiar name to every farmer in
the district. I am sincere in this
matter and propose to stand by
Judge Cochrau until the nomina
tion is made regardless of the
resolution that was passed for the
sole purpose of barring him out
of the Independent convention and
thereby make certain the nomina
tion of some unknown man.
THE PEOPLES' CHOICE.
From the Oxford Standard.
There having been a slight mis
understanding among a few regard
ing the position of Judge Cochran
as a candidate for re-election , we
were pleased to see the gentleman
liimself in Oxford , a few days ago ,
and have a talk with him concern
ing the subject. The Judge's at-
fcitude.if we understand him , is this :
He has always been a republican ,
but as such he has been a con
servative partisan and never a poli
tician in the true sense of the
word. He is free to admit , how
ever , that touching some of its
principles , he is not in entire har-
nony with the rank and file of his
party , and that while he endorses
jertain measures advocated by the
Independent , he is not willing to
renounce his republicanism. He
considers it poor policy to change
one's policy on the eve of election ,
anyway. The Judge has spent
most of his life on the farm and
las always been in sympathy with
lie laborer and the poor man , a
'act attested by his rulings during
lis term of office. He has receiv
ed many assurances of support
Tom this class , irrespective of po-
itical lines , and notwithstanding
lie combined opposition of cor
porations and designing politicians
f the selection of a judge were to
je left to the people , we believe
lie choice would * fall upon Hon.
J. E. Cochran. The Judge has
losts of staunch friends in the peo-
) les' party , and if they see fit to
confer upon him the honor of a
nomination he will gladly accept.

rf * ? ,
if Tfltff FRI HOOFjrH FARMER.
From the Arnpnhoe TJoneor.
The large number o candidates
that are already laying plans and
scheming to capture the nomina
tion for Judge of the District
Court , brings to mind the fact that
this office of all others , should be
given to the man who has the best
legal ability , combined with a clear
record for honesty and justice to
the masses of the people. Judge
J. E. Cochran , the present official ,
is a tried and true friend of the
farmer , as his positive stand the
past year very clearly shows. He
stood out against the money leu
ders and loan companies , and by
this fearless action prevented them
from taking many a poor man's
home. The monopolists and monied
men are all against him because
he believes in impartial justice to
his constituents. It now remains
for the farmers and laboring men
to show their appreciation for his
ability and past services by giving
him the nomination by an over
whelming majority. There is not
a man living in the district to-day
who is better qualified for the office
or who can give the masses fuller
justice than Hon. J. E. Cochran.
IT is said that Hon. W. S. Mor-
lan of Arapahoe has become such
an adept in Alliance matters that
he recently instituted a new one
up in Gosper county with his eyes
bandaged and his hands tied be
hind him Those old party
papers which persist in trying to
read Farmer . S. Morlan of Fur-
nas county out of the Alliance do
the gentleman a great wrong and
it is difficult to see the object to be
gained by their couse. Should Mr.
Morlan fail finally to be nominated
Eor something by the independents
he will doubtless withdraw from
the organization and make a draft
on Burrows through some one of
the dozen or more banks owned or
controlled by him for the amount
he has expended in initiatory fees
and dues , but until he does so com
mon fairness demands more con
siderate treatment of him by the
old party press. Journal.
THE farmers are not alone in
their desire for capable , honQst ,
fearless men for office. Principles
without good men to represent
them do no good. The bench is
among the few places where legal
ability is required. There is no
official who comes so near the
hearts of the people as the judge
who impartially , fearlessly and
honestly metes out justice between
his fellow men. Judge Cochran
is a man of ability , is worthy of
the honor , and satisfactory to the
people. No one can say anything
against him as a judge.
Gov. THAYER is holding his po
sition until his successor is elected
and qualified. Such election must
be held on even years and at the
same relative time , according to
the constitution. It is quibbling
over a point upon which no contro
versy can be made , and substanti
ate it by the governing law of the
state. Kearney Enterprise-J.
