I '
! i Official Vote , 29th District.
Following we give an abstract of the
official vote in the aglh district :
Republican Ratification.
Lincoln , Neb. , November 16 , 1900.
The "Republic being saved , " Peace ,
Liberty , and Prosperity being assured
for the next four years under the judi
cious guidance of the Grand Old Repub
lican Party , and the return of Nebraska
( our own "Queen of the West" ) to alleg
iance to the party which brought her
into free Statehood , is deemed by the
overjoyed Republicans of Lincoln and
the State at large to be an event requir
ing a rousing ratification ,
The Republicans of the Capital City ,
therefore , through their Committee , cor
dially invite you to come to Lincoln ,
Saturday , November 24th , prepared to
take part with us and our noted invited
guests and all State officers-elect , in a
Grand Review of the Noisiest and most
Joyful Red Fire Ratification and Illumi
nation in the history of our City and
State.
As Vim , Vigor , Victory was the inspir
ing motto of Republicanism during the
campaign , let the word on this occasion
be "Johnny get your Shot Gun , your
Horn and your Whistle , " and come ,
November 24th , by foot , horse , or special
train , as the ways will be kept openand
upon that date all roads will lead to Lin
coln , the dome of whose capitol building
will hereafter reflect the Golden Hue of
the joyous night.
Come , Republicans , in fact come
everyone , who , by their vote , voice , or
sympathy , contributed to the grand re
sult of November 6th.
Special railroad rates made for this
occasion. Respectfully yours ,
S. T. COCHRAN , Chairman.
WALT. DAWSON , Secretary.
FRANCE proposes to correct the falling
birth rate by assessing a tax against
bachelors ; the price of "liberty" will
range from $10 to $100 , according to the
recalcitrant bachelor's age. The meas
ure , it is claimed , will pass both houses
of the French assembly with large ma
jorities. Vive la France ! A bas la bach
elor !
THE Mid-Roaders did not cut the
expected amount of ice in the late elec
tion ; but the Fusion goose was cooked a
rich brown , I thank you , by the Repub
lican Populists who refused to be led
into the Democratic camp and naturally
returned to their first love , the G. O , P.
Fusion has within it the essential ele
ments of ultimate defeat and death.
Enduring parties are eternally erected
on principles not built on place. On
the other hand the vote developed by
the Prohibitionists is something of a
surprise in the other direction. The
certain element in politics continues to
be very uncertain and perhaps wisely
so.
SUNDAY'S Omaha Bee concludes an
entertaining election retrospect with the
following pertinent paragraph :
"This is by no means the first time
that the liquor dealers and prohibition
ists have been linked together in oppo
sition to the same candidates. Governor
Poynter owed his original election to the
same peculiar combination and Judge
Rees' defeat , last year , was due to a great
extent to the opposition of both these
elements. When the true political his
tory of Nebraska is written this chapter
of the recent campaign will point its
own moral. "
Now , if Colonel Rosewater will write a
chapter on what he knows about the
defeat of the Republican nominee for
governor in 1888 , he will relieve all of us
greatly. It will adorn the tale , if it does
not point a moral.

G. A. R. , meet the first Saturday of

That Shortage of Votes.
Although the vote of Nebraska has
not yet been officially canvassed , the
statement is made that it will show that
over 15,000 voters failed to express them
selves on governor and congressmen and
other candidates on the ticket.
The inference conveyed by the com
ment on this condition is that it is an
unusual anomaly due to defective elec
tion machinery. The fact is , however ,
that this deficiency of votes presents it
self in every presidential election in a
striking degree and in minor form in
other elections. A presidential battle
draws out more voters than any other
political contest and many of the par
ticipants content themselves with voting
only for presidential electors or other
single sections of the ticket.
A compilation of the figures for the
last two presidential elections in Ne
braska shows the same neglect of .the
voters as measured by the difference be
tween the total vote and that recorded
for particular offices included in the
ticket.
In 1892 , for example , the total vote in
Nebraska was 209,593 , while the total
vote for president was only 199,314 , fall
ing short more than 10,000 votes. The
total vote for governor in the same year
was 197,473 , more th u 12,000 less than
the number of ballots cast , while the
total for all the congressional districts
aggregated only 196,161 , a deficit of
nearly 13,500.
In the year 1896 , which constituted
the battle royal for the presidency .elicit
ing more intense interest than any other
recent struggle , Nebraska polled 230-
795 votes. On presidential electors a
total of 224,171 votes was cast , a little
over 6,000 less than the aggregate. On
governor , however , only 217,763 were
recorded , a deficit of 13.000 , while on
congressmen , in the different districts ,
the total was 217,617 , a deficit of 14,000.
Presumably the total vote in Nebraska
in 1900 has been in excess of 240,000 , so
that while the shortage of votes in the
minor offices may be greater , the proportion
tion cannot be far different from that in
previous presidential elections.
While the ideal election machinery
would be that which recorded the choice
of the voter on every position to be
filled , it is idle to expect to attain that
goal for the present. The best that can
be done is to simplify the election laws
so as to reduce to a minimum the num
ber not voting on particular offices.
IT'S a disappointing day when some
long-haired pigskin crank does not offer
up his life on the gridiron. But the
fool-killer thus enjoys a much-needed
off and the didn't-know-it-was-load-
day - - - - -
ed virtuoso has a brief respite from his
arduous labor of decimating the popu
lace.

The Ladles' Orchestra.
The largest concert company ever
brought west of Omaha has been secured
on an off night for a date in McCook.
It is the Boston Ladies' Symphony
Orchestra. There were over five hun
dred people turned away , last year , at
their appearance in Lincoln. The large
auditorium was crowded , this season , on
their second appearance. The company
not only plays the finest orchestra music ,
but gives many solos with the full
orchestra accompaniment. The violin ,
flute , cornet , cello , and tuba are used
in solo work , and added to these is a
bass solo by Mr. Carl Crance. The op
portunity afforded is a rare one and the
crowd will be limited by the size of the
hall.
There is nothing that a woman appre
ciates more than she does a good sewing-
machine ; one that has the latest im
provements and attachments. You will
find just what you want , and at the
right price , at S. M. Cochran & Co.'s.
