IS COLD IN NEBRASK/ /
The Entire Fusion Stale Ticket Carrie
the Day by Safe Pluralities ,
AS WELL AS THE BRYAN ELECTOR !
Populists Make Cains in the Cong
ressmen and In the Legislat
ure No Consolation for
Republicans Here ,
There is little consolation for Republi
cans in the result in Nebraska. The re
turns indicate the election of the Bryar
electors and the entire Fusion stat
ticket. Gains are hI o claimed for tin
Fusionists in the number of their con
gres- > men and in their members of tht
legislature. It is a pretty clean sweer
aud affords no comfort to the Republicar
party of this state The result is an eye
opener to many , but was anticipated b\
those well posted on the situation.whicl :
has been considered precarious evei
since the opening of the campaign. Tht
result is nevertheless somewhat over
whelming and stunning
The day was a perfect one for weather ,
and the vote cat vvas > full.
McCook is about the only bright spol
in the local political horizon.
It was one of the closest elections in
the history of Red Willow county poli
tics.
McCook almost reached the 600 mark
and they were pretty much all republi
cans , and straight.
It was a cold day for everything but
the national ticket and that is glory
enough for one day.
The defeat of Congressman Andrews is
especially deplored by local Republicans ,
to many of whom it cams as a great sur
prise.
The news from Nebraska was depress
ing , whioh made the enthusiasm over the
national result all the more demonstra
tive and excessive.
. -Elsewliere will be found an abstr etq
the official vote of Red Willow * county
which has been prepared with care am
may be taken as correct.
Some apparent mistakes in this issm
are explainable on the ground that late
or official returns changed the result ii
cases where the race was close.
The Republicans had everything prett ]
much their own way , Tuesday night
when the returns came in ; but the sil
ver lining came to the Populists on tin
morrow and their countenances percepti
bly shortened.
SCHOOL NOTES.
Ira Clark is about from his threatenec
illness of close of last week.
The school stereoptican was used a
the opera house , Tuesday night , t (
throw the returns of the election on th <
screen.
The 12th grade have dropped botauj
until spring , and resumed the study o
chemistry.
The usual depredations were commit
ted on Halloween night , although mosi
of the boys concerned were small. Mar
shal Jordan took a hand in the mattei
and made it exceedingly unpopular foi
the guilty ones.
The Vote on Commissioner.
The vote on county commissioner was

The Battle in Nebraska.
The battle in Netira-ka has been tht
most fiercely fought presidential contesl
since the state came iiito the Union ,
The fact that the presidential candi
date on the tripartite ticket had hi
home in this state and the complete fus
ion of all the elements of opposition to
the Republican party placed the Repub
lican cause at a great disadvantage in
Nebraska It was apparent that in ordei
to carry Nebraska for McKinley and the
state ticket the Republicans had to com
bat against great odds.
In 1892 Harrison carried the state by
only 4,105 plurality over the Weaver
electors , and 25,000 Dt-mocratic voles
were diverted to the Cleveland electors.
Had there been complete fusion in 1892 ,
Harrison would have lost Nebraska by
more than 20,000. This year Republicans
were confronted by the combined forces
of the populists , silver Democrats and so-
called silver Republicans , reinforced by
one-half of the prohibitionists , who
claimed to be converts to free silver as
the paramount issue. The Bryan aggre
gation was , therefore , fully 25,000 strong
er at the opening of the campaign than
the supporters of McKinley.
The disaster which has overtaken the
Republican state , congressional and leg
islative tickets is , therefore , not in the
least discreditable. On the contrary ,
Nebraska Republicans have good reason
to feel proud of the gallant fight they
have made. While chagrined and
_ rieved over the result in this state , they
can rejoice with the Republicans of tire ;
nation over the triumph of the Republi
can cause and the prospect for a speed ]
restoration of prosperity through the re
establishment of confidence and the re
sumption of the policy of protection au <
reciprocity. Bee of Thursday.
Troendly-PIummer.
Mr. G. D. Troendly and Miss Gussn
