OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
SENATOR HAYWARD.
The long senatorial contest has
been settled according to the wish
es of a large majority of the re
publicans of Nebraska.
Hon. M. L. Hayward , the lead
ing candidate in the race from the
beginning and unquestionably the
choice of rank and file of the par
ty , was nominated by the republi
can caucus last night on the second
end ballot. He will receive the
full republican vote in the joint
convention at noon today and will
be declared United States senator
from Nebraska for the term of six
years , beginning with the opening
of the present week.
No solution of the senatorial
problem could leave so few sore
places as the election of .Judge
Hayward. He went through a
trying campaign for the governor
ship last fall and achieved a virtu
al victory , even if he did not se
cure the certificate of election.
He has gone through the longest
senatorial contest in the history of
the state with honor and dignity.
He will receive today one of the
highest offices in the gift of the
state of Nebraska because of a
widespread public belief that of
all the men presenting themselves
for the honor he was the most de
serving. The success of his can
didacy after a struggle lasting
nearly two months is a striking
example of the power of public
sentiment. The wishes of the
people of the state crystalized the
Hayward votes in the legislature
into an irresistible force. Every
art known to consummate political
management was employed to
break down his strength , but with
out success. In the end nothing
was left for the minority to do butte
to join with the majority. It is
fortunate for the future of the
party that this was done with good
grace before the development of
permanent factionalism.
The opposition in the legisla
I ture was not caused by positive
objection to Judge Hayward. His
fitness and high character were :
generally recognized. The mem
bers who refused to support him
did so merely because they pre
ferred some , one else. Now that
he is the choice of the party , and
at noon will be made the choice of
the state , he will receive the
hearty support of all classes of
citizens. At Washington he will
represent Nebraska with so much
ability and conscience that neither
the party nor the people at large
will have occasion to regret hav
ing chosen him for this high office.

in this direction there will not be
enough of the constitution left to
light a pipe.

GOVERNOR FLETCHER ,
WAIl GOVKKNOIl OF THE 8TATK OK
MISSOURI , WRITE8 A NOTABLE
LETTER.
The Pe-ru-ua Drug MTg Co. ,
Columbus , Ohio : Gentlemen For
years I have been afiiicted with
chronic catarrh , which has gone
through my whole system , and no
one knows the torture and misery
I have passed through. My doc
tor has prescribed various remedies
and I have never found any relief
until I was persuaded by a friend
to use Dr. Hartmau's Pe-ru-ua.
After the use of one bottle I feel
like a new man. It also cured me
of a dropping I had in my throat ,
and built my system up generally.
To those who are suffering with
catarrh I take pleasure in recom
mending your great medicine.
Very respectfully ,
THOMAS C. FLETCHER.
Catarrh in its various forms is
rapidly becoming a national curse.
An undoubted remedy has been dis
covered by Dr. Hartman. This
remedy has been thoroughly test
ed during the past forty years.
Prominent men have come to know
of its virtues and are making pub
lic utterances on the subject To
save the country we must save the
people. To save the people we
must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the
most prevalent and stubborn of
cure is catarrh.
