In some respects tho state convention Wednesday was one of the most remark able in tho history of the state being doubtless the largest ever convened in Nebraska, and certainly the most nu merously attended by non-delegates, and apparently conducted by the dele gates themselves, in what they deemed the interest of the state. dp to the opening of the convention it seems to have been conceded all around that Meiklejohn's chances were the best for governor, but, on a sudden, forces were brought to play that turned the tide toward MacColl. It is another illustration of how much effect is some times given to the probabilities of the situation. Meiklejohn's candidacy, whether true or not, was looked upon as a preliminary movement toward the United States senate, as the successor to Senator Allen. Another consideration was used, viz: that in case Thurston should be given a place in the McKinley cabinet and the governor be called upon to name his successor, he would select a certain personal and political friend of his own who is very objectionable to many. And thus it went These things had their weight, and when, on the fifth bal lot, 106 of the 116 votes of Douglas county, were cast for MacColl, Gage following with 36, it was not difficult to say what the result would be. The contests were over governor, aud itor and state treasurer, and around these, as a cluster, the others ranged themselves, and so the ticket was made up, and it is a good one. The Journal believes that with Mac Coll, the great interests of the state will be entirely safe. He is a success ful business man, and is Jack MacColl now, just as he was Jack MacColl when a poor boy working his own way in the world. la Mfaorlan. Joseph Benjamin Hutchison was born January 17, 1862, in Christian county, Kentucky. He moved with his parents to Ash land, Nebr., thirteen years ago, where he made his home until four years ago, when he moved to Columbus, Neb., where he died June 28, 1896. January 13, 1887, he was united in marriage to Miss Quilla Newbill. Four years ago he united with the Christian church near Memphis, Neb. For almost four years he had been a great sufferer. He was patient and pleasant during his sickness, often ex pressing himself as perfectly satisfied in his love for his Saviour. It was his great desire to again visit his home and be with his parents and friends. However this was not to be. for he was taken to his old home at Memphis, 'Monday, and laid to rest Tuesday in the Ashland cemetery. Cant of Thank.
