IT will be pretty hard for the
Populists to prove that Cornell
doesn't need a guardian. He's too
easy.
THE Republican fly will prop
erly decline to walk into the Popu
list parlor , this election. There's
another election coming next fall.
Do you mjnd ?
THE Holdrege Citizen wonders
where the fellows "are at" who
changed their support from Hayward -
ward to Thompson , under such
suspicious circumstances
No man emerged from the sena
torial contest with more honor , al
though defeated , than did Hon.
Gr. JM. Lamberlsou of Lincoln.
And by the by , no man in the
contest was his superior in honor
or ability. There is a high place
for him in the esteem of Nebraska
Republicans.
AFTER comparing the Republi
can and Citizen's tickets , the Re
publicans of McCook will see little
or nothing to encourage them to
vote against their ticket , and THE
TRIBUNE prophesies a good , sub
I stantial plurality for every man on
the Republican ticket at the com
ing city election.
