A. "Straight Republican. "
The Albion ( Neb. ) * Argus quotes
from the Washington Prospector
as follows :
"We have been subjected to a
great deal of guying since the re
publican convention , and many
want to know where we stand af
ter the magnificent victory of the
railroads. We are the same dash
ed old fool we have always been.
We are for the ticket. If it is
necessary to get a railroad ring in
our nose , our nose yearns for the
ring. If it is to hell with the people
ple and hurrah for the lobby , we
are at the front with hell and hur
rah. The ticket is going to win ,
of course ; it cannot be defeated.
We will all take 'off our coats and
work for it without desiring , or
expecting , any other reward than
the consciousness that we have
been loyal to a party , a trifle fray
ed at the edges , but when truly
represented standing for the best
principles of humanity , the best
interests of the common people. "
Can it be possible that the edir
tor of the Prospector was raised
in the Nebraska school of republi
canism ? He writes just as a num
ber of Nebraska republicans who
are faithful to the raikoad corpor
ations of this state would write if
they were determined to be candid.

on the north table called to have
some insurance written on his
farm property yesterday. Mr.
House owns 320 acres of nice land
a short distance northwest of town
and is milking 10 cows. This
proposition will solve the ques
tion of Cherry county's future and
everyone should prepare to adjust
himself to conditions and keep in
step with progress in dairying.
Our trip to the World's fair
was over the B. & M. road from
York , Nebr. , and return. The
route is most direct , the road bed is
good and the train service most
complete. The officials and train
men are most courteous and oblig
ing. We cannot speak too highly
of them and would recommend to
all visiting the Fair from North
western Nebraska to get onto the
Burlington road and avoid delays
and inconveniences. Take the
through train ; and it seems to be
their object to land you in St.
Louis at the earliest possible mo
ment.
