REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET.
The Journal believes that the repub
lican city ticket should be elected, not
merely because it is thoroughly and de
cidedly republican in each and every
feature, for two of the nominees do not
hold the party name, but all were fairly
nominated in a delegated, representative
convention of the party, and are entitled
to the support of every member of the
great political organization to which we
hold, who has the right of franchise in
the city to express upon this ticket. We
take it that the republican party (which
we regard as the best political party ever
organized), has in this selection of can
didates given us a fair sample of the
influence of general principles upon
local affairs.
The republicans in each ward of the
city, for themselves and for what they
regarded as also the general welfare,
selected their several candidates for
councilmen in the city law-making body.
George Fairchild is a neighbor of the
writer's in the First ward, a business
man who treats everybody fairly, and, so
far as we have ever known or heard,
would not do the community an injury
under any circumstances.
James H. Galley, the candidate for
councilman for the Second ward, is a
well-known citizen and republican, whose
integrity of purpose and whose good
judgment no man can justly question.
While he works for his own interest, as
every man should, he does not shut his
eyes to the general welfare of the com
munity he represents. He thoroughly
knows the needs of the city; is identified
with all its lines of progress; has shown
his ability to present his views in a logi
cal and forcible way. Where his fellow-
citizens are concerned with him, he has
nothing to conceal. Open, fair and
square in his intentions of right, no man
in the city could make a better member
of the council, the legislative body hav
ing the responsibility of our local affairs.
He forms his judgment after ascertain
ing the facts which bear upon a subject,
and his judgment is sound and good.
H. E. Babcock, nominated for the
Third ward, is not so well known to cit
izens generally as Mr. Galley or Mr.
Fairchild. He is, however, a staunch
republican, an educated, scholarly man,
well able to hold his own in debate, and
to represent the ward in which he lives.
Outside of party lines there is a special
reason why Mr. Babcock should receive
the support of voters of the Third ward.
Many parts of the city need to be drain
ed. To do this rightly, saving time and
expense, a grade should be established,
and all work done with reference there
to. Probably no other man in Colum
bus has had the experience in handling
earth in connection with the flow of
water that Mr. Babcock has had. Sud
den and heavy rain falls have at times
filled the low places in certain portions
of the city and there is no general
drainage system to rapidly carry the
water off. The water becomes stagnant,
percolates into cellars, and there is
always consequent expense and some
times, doubtless, danger to life. Our
city is well situated for drainage, both
eastward and southward, and the money
expended on streets, if expended on a
given plan, wonld soon make effective
drainage for all the city.
The Journal believes that Mr. Bab
cock's counsel in this matter wonld be
very valuable, and with the assistance of
Mr. Galley and Mr. Fairchild and Mayor
Ragatz, neither the Third ward (which
has suffered the worst, nor the Second
or First), will have just canse for com
plaint. Henry Hockenberger, who, with Henry
Lnbker, has been named as member of
the school board, by republicans and
fusionists, respectively, is a present
member and secretary of the board.
Everybody not only concedes his emi
nent fitness for the position, but, in every
respect we know of, his faithful perform
ance of duty in the past Two members
are to be elected, and each voter is
entitled to cast his ballot for two.
Fred. Gottschalk, jr., the candidate for
city engineer is thoroughly equipped for
the office, and would, in all respects,
make a very capable official.
Bert J. Galley, the present efficient
city treasurer, has given no cause for
complaint in the discharge of the very
important duties of the office, that of
receiving, caring for and disbursing the
moneys of the city, which he has faith
fully and accurately done.
D. N. Miner, the candidate for city
clerk, has had experience in this office,
and in like services. He is quick to
notice what is transpiring in a legislative
body, and accurate in placing it upon
the record. If elected clerk, he will
doubtless do his duty fully as a clerk,
without assuming to instruct the coun
cilmen. Henry Bagatz, the republican candi
date for mayor, we purposely name last
m this review, because of the peculiar
circumstances or the race in which he is
engaged. We have not a single word to
say against his opponent, but without
disparagement to him, we feel sure that
Mr. Ragatz will make a more forceful
mayor in this crisis of the city's affaire.
He has had abundant experience in city
matters; has been so long connected
with the large business interests of
Columbus that he understands them as
well, probably, as any other man in the
city. In the convention which nomi
nated him there was but one dissenting
vote from all the delegates present. All
others have full confidence in his ability,
his integrity and his fairness. In his
remarks to the convention he could not
well have been clearer or more decisive
in the expression of his views. If elected
he means to treat every part of the city
just as fair as another, and will show no
favoritism. He had lived too long on
Eleventh street, and had too many
friends in the southern part of the city,
to do them a wrong. He would work for
the best interests of the entire city, just
as he had done for the past ten years.

maybe.
He is not in favor of building the pro
posed Union Pacific freight depot on M
street, but is decidedly in favor of im
provements that are within our reach, if
we will stop jangling and strife. He
believes that a representative committee
of citizens could arrange matters with
the railroad officials and come upon a
solution that would be satisfactory to all
concerned. He believes that the man
agers of a large corporation like the
Union Pacific do not wish to do anything
that would ruin the city.
We know that Mr. Ragatz has only the
kindliest feeling towards his fellow-citizens,
friends and acquaintances and
would not for a moment undertake to do
anything that would in his judgment
injure any of them, and this, of course,
would mean again that this is one city
not two cities or more.
As te TJ. S. Senator.
Under this heading we purpose giving,
from week to week, such information and
speculation as may be of current inter
est. Ed. Journal.
Since we have reached a point where
our members of the legislature must call
on the national committee to tell them
what to do to elect senators, do are really
need to be represented in the senate?
If representative men of the people of
this state are so ignorant that they can
not elect senators, then what are the rest
of us? A few missionaries in the state
might be a good thing. David City
News.
The senatorial puzzle may be untang
ling somewhat but those on the outside
fail to see it. One favorable sign may
be mentioned and that is that a good
many legislators are wondering what ex
cuse they can give when they get home
for their dilatory and unbusinesslike
methods. The legislators are coming to
the conclusion that they, and not the
senatorial candidates, are not to blame
for the inaction. The man who allows
himself to be absolutely controlled by a
candidate will not fare well at home.
Blair Pilot
It is plain that Meiklejohn's chances
of nomination in caucus are hopeless,
and that he is being kept in the lists
only by the representatives of certain
railroad corporations bent upon prevent
ing the election ol any senators. The
time for adjournment being practically
set, these people are working to prolong
the deadlock till the end of next week for
the purpose of forcing the legislature to
adjourn leaving both senatorships vacant
What is left of Meiklejohn's following is
being carefully nursed to effect by indi
rection what these political schemers
dare not openly advocate. To keep him
alive they are resorting to desperate
methods, taking a certain number of
members and tying them up in flocks
not to leave him in caucus with only from
fifty-four to fifty-six in the caucus and
forty-five necessary to a nomination.
Tying up a dozen men in this way com
pletely blocks action. By making the
continued balloting in caucus fruitless,
the object is to disgust participants and
break up the new caucus as they did the
old one. It is certain no other caucns
nor any plan can be secured during the
present session. Omaha Bee, March 22.
Capital City Letter.
(Special Correspondence.)
Lincoln, March 25, 1901.
This is what was supposed to lie the
lost week of the legislature, but the sen
ate has raised the question as to whether
the work is far enough along to adjourn
on Thursday, and the question at this
writing is unsettled. Between the can
didacy of some of the most influential
members, and the solicitude of others for
the ambition of the Lincoln candidate,
the legislative work has been somewhat
neglected of late.
Senator Crounse has pressed forward
a bill to sell the governor's mansion and
put the money in the treasury. He main
tains that it is unconstitutional to allow
the governor extra perquisites, and that
it is senseless to furnish him with a.
mansion which it takes all of his salary
to maintain.
Those who imagined that the national
committee wonld help to unravel the
senatorial snarl now find how they were
mistaken. There were a number of men
supporting Thompson who intended to
quit him, and it was certain that his
forces were on the point of disintegration,
when the suggestion came from the com
mittee for a "short caucns" to nominate
the North Platte man first This pre
vented any realignment of the forces.
Then the "short caucus" was fixed up,
ignoring the suggestion to nominate the
North Platte man first, and the result
was that not members enough entered
into the caucus to make it effective.
The Rosewater-Thompeon combination
was fixed up, the other candidates were
fooled, and the nomination of Thompson
was the result
The idea seemed to have been from the
start that the Thompson men could fool
all the others, gain the election of their
man, and then deadlock the other place.
To do this it was their hope to have the
men who were standing out finally stul
tify themselves and change over to
Thompson. Failing in this they expect-
ed to get a number of fusionists to
remain away, so that fifty-nine members
could elect
In some dispatches the men who have
stood out against the caucus are called
"bolters." This seems to be unjust
They never agreed to the caucus, never
entered it, and protested against the bad
nominations from the start They have
bolted nothing, but have simply nrotest-
ed against the suicidal policy of the
other members, and have refused to be
bulldozed into doing what they thought
was wrong. In this stand they have
received cheering words of support from
every county in the state.
The new game lull which has passed
will be interesting. It prohibita quail
shooting for a couple of years, makes
more stringent the law against seining.

Columbus papers have, so far, neg
lected to mention the triumph of a
Columbus young man at the recent chess
contest with the champion, Harry N.
Pillsbury. From the Lincoln Journal
we quote the part necessary to the
understanding of it: "Twenty-six games
of chess and six of checkers were in
progress at once. Some of the players
resigned before 11 o'clock, but the
majority continued to the close, near 2
o'clock. One player was beaten in six
moves. Twenty-six boards of chess and
six of checkers were arranged in two
rows in the hall. Mr. Pillsbury took the
inside and walked from table to table,
making a move at each. Occasionally a
player wonld reply at once often to his
sorrow for Pillsbury is an adept at
rapid-fire chess. Of the twenty-six
games of chess played Pillsbury won
twenty-four. John L. Clark played a
draw with the champion, and Represen
tative Mockett and H. E. Newbranch
played a draw in consultation." We may
add to this that Clark is a graduate of
the Columbus High school, Bnd as
straight a thinker in chess as he is in
the demonstration of a proposition in
geometry or physics. In last Sunday's
Omaha Bee is given the game in full, 34
moves by Clark, 33 by the great cham
pion, who gave it up as drawn. The
only comment made by the critic is: "A
good example of the correct attack and
defense in this form of the Lopez; noth
ing startling on either side just a plain
draw."
