K OF POLITICAL MOMENT.
Hk That Judge Post will be unitedly sup-
BI / ported by all Republicans is admitted.
L\ His eminent judicial ability and preemi-
B\ went ranuliuess are irresistible.
H B Recognizing the popularity of the
H % -present incumbent , the Republican parly
B it lias adequately met the situation in the
H kjr * "nomination ofEsben P. Day for the of-
m m m fice of county clerk.
B\ \ O. L. Thompson is making a winning
H • campaign for the treasurership. His
wMwM qualifications are becoming recognized
AwMwM throughout the county and he is adding
& strength and votes daily.
H Tub friends of W.A. McCool are flock-
B ing to his support all over the county in
P numbers and enthusiasm to warrant the
B statement that he will he a formidable
H candidate for the office of sheriff.
H H As THK campaign advances it becomes
k more and more evident that the Repub-
m lican party made no mistake in noinina-
Vu ting C. N. Whittaker for superintendent.
H * He is developing unexpected and telling
A strength.
H One of the qualifications that is prov-
ft Xng a source ol increasing strength and
K popularity to G. 'S. Bishop , the Republi-
A can nominee for county judge , is the
V fact of his being a lawyer. The office
H requires legal ability.
H "EXCUSE me for the rest of the cam-
H paign , gasped the Colonel , as he disap-
B peared from sight and pulled the aper-
H ture in after him , after giving birth to
V his immortal observation about republi-
H Cans , anarchists and fusion.
H To fill the bill adequately the Oma-
P lia Bte has increased its morning issue to
L twelve pages on all days but Monday.
H The Bee is easily in the van of Trans-
W W Missouri dailies , and is an honor to the
K . state as well as a proud monument to the

B ing , as our forecast last week was pre-
B mature and the results unsatisfactory.

Banquet the Band. L
It is admitted by all who participated '
in the affair that the banquet tendered 3'
the Nebraska Brigade band , Thursday { .
evening , was one of the most felicitous
occasions of the kind in many moons , * =
and-that among other desirable results s
the business men of the city aud the
members of the band now have a much ? :
better understanding and the band will ,
in future be appreciated as it never has
been in the past. It will be recognized
as one of the best advertising mediums
the city has ever enjoyed and will be en
couraged properly and fully as it merits.
The banquet was spread by Robert
Bj'ers at the Burlington dining hall and \
was a splendid example of the caterer's , :
art. The dining hall was filled to its *
capacity and there was ever } ' evidence
of complete and unalloj'ed pleasure on * '
the part of both entertained aud euter- *
tainers. After the banquet cigars were
passed and the Toastmaster Col. J. S.v
LeHew was duty installed in office. His

liam Valentine , Sylvester Cordeal , Dr. C
W.V. Gage , J. H. Berge , Dr. S.C. Beach , \
C. F. Babcock , H. P. Sutton. H.W. Cole C
and J. E. Kelley , and it was developed
that McCook has some fetching post
prandial talent , especially when the Bri
gade band is the object of the expressions
of pride and satisfaction.
The affair was in fine a very satisfac
tory success and is duly appreciated by
the band as an expression of the well-
wishes of our people and of their un
bounded pride in the more recent ac
complishments of the organization es
pecially.
